国有资产流失与实际控制权的地方化

国有资产流失是改革时期理论界关注的热点。国资流失主要表现在地方政府与收购方自由谈判的产权交易中,完全架空了全民所有的性质。现有文献多数从资产定价、内部人控制、关联交易、无形资产未作评估等角度解释国有资产流失,本文则试图从国有资产实际控制权地方化的视角提供新的解释。2002年以前,"有控制权无所有权"的"责权利不对称"成为国资流失的制度原因,因为地方政府无资产能力也无法律责任承担国资的保值增值;2002年赋予地方政府"出资人所有权"的政策设计,尽管在理论上可以减少甚至消除"代理成本",然而,地方政府获得出资人所有权地位的法理基础不足,在地方政府承担多重身份的背景下,反而加速了地方政府对国有资产的变卖。

The many faces of semaphorins: from development to pathology

The semaphorin family is a large group of proteins controlling cell migration and axonal growth cone guidance. These proteins are bi-functional signals capable of growth promotion or growth inhibition. Initially described in the nervous system, the majority of studies related to semaphorins and semaphorin signalling are nowadays performed in model systems outside the nervous system. Here, we provide an exhaustive review of the many faces of semaphorins both during developmental, regulatory and pathological processes. Indeed, because of their crucial fundamental roles, the semaphorins and their receptors represent important targets for the development of drugs directed at a variety of diseases.

A complex of Shc and Ran-GTPase localises to the cell nucleus

The three isoforms of the adaptor protein Shc play diverse roles in cell signalling. For example, the observation of p46 Shc in the nuclei of hepatocellular carcinoma cells suggests a function quite distinct from the better characterised cytoplasmic role. Ligands responsible for the transport of various Shc isoforms into organelles such as the nucleus have yet to be reported. To identify such ligands a far western approach was used to determine the p52 Shc interactome. The Ran-GTPase nuclear transport protein was identified and found to bind to p52 Shc in vitro with low micromolar affinity. Co-immunoprecipitation, pull down and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy experiments in stable cells confirmed cellular interaction and nuclear localisation. The nuclear transport factor protein NTF2, which functions in cohort with Ran, was shown to form a complex with both RAN and Shc, suggesting a mechanism for Shc entry into the nucleus as part of a tertiary complex.

CD20-related signaling pathway is differently activated in normal and dystrophic circulating CD133+ stem cells

Among the heterogeneous population of circulating hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors, we identified a subpopulation of CD133⁺ cells displaying myogenic properties. Unexpectedly, we observed the expression of the B-cell marker CD20 in blood-derived CD133⁺ stem cells. The CD20 antigen plays a role in the modulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis through signaling pathways activation. Several observations suggest that an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) could be involved in the etiology of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Here, we show that a CD20-related signaling pathway able to induce an increase in [Ca²⁺]_i is differently activated after brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stimulation of normal and dystrophic blood-derived CD133⁺ stem cells, supporting the assumption of a “CD20-related calcium impairment-affecting dystrophic cells. Presented findings represent the starting point toward the expansion of knowledge on pathways involved in the pathology of DMD and in the behavior of dystrophic blood-derived CD133⁺ stem cells.

Roles of the Major Apoptotic Nuclease-DNA Fragmentation Factor-in Biology and Disease

It has now been more than ten years since the discovery of the major apoptotic nuclease, DNA fragmentation factor (DFF), also known as caspaseactivated DNase (CAD). Here we review the recent literature that has uncovered new insight into DFF’s regulation, and both its positive and negative roles in human disease. Cells from mice deficient in DFF still undergo apoptotic death without significant cellautonomous DNA degradation. Their corpses’ genomes are subsequently degraded by lysosomal DNase II after phagocytosis. However,DFF-deficient mice are more susceptible to cancer. Indeed, several different cancers in humans are associated with defects in DFF expression and it has been proposed that DFF is a p53-independent tumor suppressor. Negative aspects of DFF expression include contributing to susceptibility to acquire systemic lupus erythematosus, to chromosomal translocations that result in mixed lineage leukemias, and in the possible spreading of oncogenes and HIV due to horizontal gene transfer.

The peroxisomal protein import machinery – a case report of transient ubiquitination with a new flavor

The peroxisomal protein import machinery displays remarkable properties. Be it its capacity to accept already folded proteins as substrates, its complex architecture or its energetics, almost every aspect of this machinery seems unique. The list of unusual properties is still growing as shown by the recent finding that one of its central components, Pex5p, is transiently monoubiquitinated at a cysteine residue. However, the data gathered in recent years also suggest that the peroxisomal import machinery is not that exclusive and similarities with p97/Cdc48-mediated processes and with multisubunit RING-E3 ligases are starting to emerge. Here, we discuss these data trying to distill the principles by which this complex machinery operates. Received 16 July 2008; received after revision 25 August 2008; accepted 29 August 2008     

Src activation and translocation from focal adhesions to membrane ruffles contribute to formation of new adhesion sites

Cell migration requires the coordinated turnover of focal adhesions, a process that involves FAK phosphorylation. Since Src is the major kinase implicated in FAK phosphorylation, we focus here on the role of Src activation on adhesion remodelling. In astrocytoma cells, constitutively activated Src induces both FAK phosphorylation and adhesion rearrangement. To evaluate how Src controls these processes, we used a recently described Src reporter to monitor the dynamics of Src phosphorylation. Upon Src activation, focal adhesions started to disassemble while Src appeared highly expressed at newly formed membrane ruffles. Kinetic analysis of time-lapse movies showed that loss of phospho-Src at focal adhesions was time-correlated with the appearance of membrane ruffles containing phospho-Src. Moreover, FLIP analysis revealed a dynamic equilibrium of Src between focal adhesions and membrane ruffles. We conclude that upon phosphorylation, Src is directly translocated from focal adhesions to membrane ruffles, thereby promoting formation of new adhesion complexes.

Post-transcriptional gene silencing of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 restores insulin action in leucine-treated skeletal muscle

Excessive nutrients, especially amino acids, impair insulin action on glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. We tested the hypothesis that the branched-chain amino acid leucine reduces acute insulin action in primary myotubes via a negative feedback mechanism involving ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1). The effect of S6K1 on glucose metabolism was determined by applying RNA interference (siRNA). Leucine (5 mM) reduced glucose uptake and incorporation to glycogen by 13% and 22%, respectively, compared to the scramble siRNA-transfected control at the basal level. Leucine also reduced insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation, glucose uptake and glucose incorporation to glycogen (39%, 39% and 37%, respectively), and this reduction was restored after S6K1 silencing. Depletion of S6K1 enhanced basal glucose utilization and protected against the development of impaired insulin action, in response to excessive leucine. In conclusion, S6K1 plays an important role in the regulation of insulin action on glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.
