Human cdc25C is a dual-specificity phosphatase involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression in both unperturbed cells and in cells subject to DNA damage or replication checkpoints. In this study, we describe the structure-function relationship of an essential domain of human cdc25C that interacts with 14-3-3 proteins. We show that this domain is a bi-functional interactive motif that interacts with cyclins primarily through their P-box motif in addition to 14-3-3 proteins. Characterization of the structural features of this domain by NMR and circular dichroism reveals two distinct alpha helical moieties interconnected by a loop carrying the 14-3-3 binding site. Moreover, the helical folding is induced upon binding to 14-3-3, suggestive of a conformational regulation of this domain of cdc25C through interactions with partner proteins in vivo. Combining our structural and biochemical data, we propose a detailed model of the molecular mechanism of cdc25C regulation by differential association with 14-3-3 and cdc2-cyclin B.

AURKA/PLK1/CDC25C Axis as a Novel Therapeutic Target in INI1-Deficient Epithelioid Sarcoma.

Effective therapeutic strategies for epithelioid sarcoma (EpS), a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma characterized by loss of integrase interactor 1 (INI1), have not yet been developed. The present study therefore investigated the association between INI1 loss and upregulation of the aurora kinase A (AURKA)/polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1)/cell division cycle 25C (CDC25C) axis, as well as the therapeutic relevance of this axis in EpS. Notably, our findings showed that the reintroduction of INI1 in VA-ES-BJ cells significantly reduced proliferation, mitigated tumorigenicity, and negatively regulated the expression of AURKA and its downstream effectors, as well as the activation of PLK1 and CDC25C.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores variations in the age at cancer diagnosis among Lynch syndrome patients, focusing on how genetic polymorphisms influence this variability, particularly in South Africans with specific germline pathogenic variants.
- - An analysis was conducted on 359 Lynch syndrome variant heterozygotes using advanced genetic testing methods to identify associations between genetic polymorphisms and the age at which cancer was diagnosed.
- - Results showed that certain genotypes increased the likelihood of younger cancer diagnosis, while others provided protective effects, suggesting that a mix of risk and protective genes plays a significant role in cancer onset age among Lynch syndrome patients.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a typical food chemical contaminant with various detrimental effects, especially on reproductive system. Male prostate damage is also one of its major adverse health effects, of which mode of action (MOA) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the MOA for prostate toxicity of BPA using human normal prostate epithelial cell RWPE-1 for 28-day human-relevant-level exposure.
