MyoD-induced circular RNA CDR1as promotes myogenic differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells
Publication date: Available online 16 July 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Li Li, Yuan Chen, Lu Nie, Xue Ding, Xiao Zhang, Wei Zhao, Xiaoli Xu, Bismark Kyei, Dinghui Dai, Siyuan Zhan, Jiazhong Guo, Tao Zhong, Linjie Wang, Hongping ZhangAbstractMany protein coding and non-coding genes interplay in governing skeletal muscle formation. Nevertheless, comparing with the linear transcripts, functions of covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs), the new frontier of regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) molecules, remain largely unknown. Here, we identify CDR1as (antisense to t...

Temperature-dependent regulation of the Escherichia coli lpxT gene
Publication date: Available online 9 July 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Barbara Sciandrone, Francesca Forti, Sara Perego, Federica Falchi, Federica BrianiAbstractThe Lipid A moiety of the lipopolysaccharide can be covalently modified during its transport to the outer membrane by different enzymes, among which the LpxT inner membrane protein. LpxT transfers a phosphate group from the undecaprenyl pyrophosphate to the Lipid A, a modification affecting the stability of the outer membrane and its recognition by the host immune system in Enterobacteria. We previously foun...

m6A methylation modulates adipogenesis through JAK2-STAT3-C/EBPβ signaling
Publication date: Available online 8 July 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Ruifan Wu, Guanqun Guo, Zhen Bi, Youhua Liu, Yuanling Zhao, Nana Chen, Fengqin Wang, Yizhen Wang, Xinxia WangAbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal mRNA modification in eukaryotes, plays a vital role in regulating adipogenesis. However, its underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we reveal that deletion of m6A demethylase FTO in porcine and mouse preadipocytes inhibits adipogenesis through JAK2-STAT3-C/EBPβ signaling. Mechanistically, FTO deficiency suppresses J...

Hypoxia-induced RelA/p65 derepresses SLC16A3 (MCT4) by downregulating ZBTB7A
Publication date: Available online 1 July 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Seo-Hyun Choi, Min-Young Kim, Young-So Yoon, Dong-In Koh, Min-Kyeong Kim, Su-Yeon Cho, Kyung-Sup Kim, Man-Wook HurAbstractOverexpressed Solute Carrier Family 16 Member 3 (SLC16A3, also called MCT4) plays a critical role in hypoxic cancer cell growth and proliferation, by expelling glycolysis-derived lactate across the plasma membrane. However, how SLC16A3 expression is regulated, under hypoxic conditions, is poorly understood. FBI-1, encoded by ZBTB7A, is a proto-oncoprotein. Interestingly, under...

KSRP modulates melanoma growth and efficacy of vemurafenib
Publication date: Available online 30 June 2019Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory MechanismsAuthor(s): Wenwen Liu, Chu-Fang Chou, Shanrun Liu, David Crossman, Nabiha Yusuf, Yunkun Wu, Ching-Yi ChenAbstractThe majority of melanomas carry an oncogenic BRAF mutation (BRAFV600E), which results in constitutive kinase activity driving melanoma proliferation. While inhibitors of BRAFV600E (BRAFi) effectively lead to rapid tumor shrinkage, most patients treated with BRAFi develop acquired resistance. Identification of factors as regulators of melanoma growth and as potential sources of resistance is thus...
