Article Abstract
TRRAP links Myc with histone acetylases and appears to be an important mediator of its oncogenic function. Here we show that interaction with TRRAP is required for cellular transformation not only by Myc, but also by the adenovirus E1A protein. Substitution of the 262 N-terminal residues of Myc with a small domain of E1A (residues 12-54) restores Myc transforming function. E1A(12-54) contains a TRRAP-interaction domain, that recruits TRRAP to either E1A-Myc chimeras, or the native 12S E1A protein. Overexpression of a competing TRRAP fragment in vivo blocks interaction of cellular TRRAP with either E1A-Myc or E1A, and suppresses cellular transformation by both oncoproteins. Moreover, E1A(Delta26-35) that fails to bind TRRAP but is capable of binding the Retinoblastoma (Rb)-family and p300/CBP proteins is defective in cellular immortalization, transformation and cell cycle deregulation. Thus in addition to disrupting Rb and p300/CBP functions, E1A must recruit TRRAP to transform cells.

Integrative analysis of histone acetyltransferase KAT2A in human cancer.

The high incidence of mutations and the crucial roles of KAT2A in cancer development have received increased attention. Nevertheless, a systematic comparison of the heterogeneity and dynamics across different cancer types has not been conducted. Hence, a deep analysis using public databases was performed to clarify the contributions of KAT2A and its correlation with tumorigenesis.

SMDY3 is a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase involved in several oncogenic processes and is believed to play a major role in various cancer hallmarks. Recently, we identified ATM, BRCA2, CHK2, MTOR, BLM, MET, AMPK, and p130 as direct SMYD3 interactors by taking advantage of a library of rare tripeptides, which we first tested for their binding affinity to SMYD3 and then used as probes to systematically search the human proteome. Here, we used this innovative approach to identify further SMYD3-interacting proteins involved in crucial cancer pathways and found that the chromatin remodeling factors EP300 and TRRAP interact directly with SMYD3, thus linking SMYD3 to the emerging 'nonmutational epigenetic reprogramming' cancer hallmark.

The accurate diagnosis and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) requires an understanding of its genomic alterations. Liquid biopsies, especially cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis, are a minimally invasive technique used for genomic profiling. We conducted comprehensive whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 50 paired OSCC cell-free plasma with whole blood samples using multiple mutation calling pipelines and filtering criteria.

Background: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy. Concurrent presence of cytomorphological benign thyroid goitre (BTG) and PTC lesion is often detected. Aberrant protein profiles were previously reported in patients with and without BTG cytomorphological background.

The adult hippocampal neurogenesis plays a vital role in the function of the central nervous system (CNS), including memory consolidation, cognitive flexibility, emotional function, and social behavior. The deficiency of adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) in maintaining the quiescence and entering cell cycle, self-renewal and differentiation capacity is detrimental to the functional integrity of neurons and cognition of the adult brain. Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) have been shown to modulate brain functionality and are important for embryonic neurogenesis via regulation of gene transcription.
