Ski-interacting protein (SKIP), a vitamin D receptor (VDR) coactivator, also functions as a repressor in Notch signalling in association with the corepressor SMRT. Here we show that SKIP bifunctionally modulates (activates or represses) Retinoid-X receptor (RXR)- and VDR-dependent gene transcription in a cell line-specific manner, with activation in CV-1 and repression in P19 cells. The coactivator function of SKIP in these cells appeared to correlate with the relative level and ratio of expression of N-CoR and p300, with greater SKIP activation in higher p300-expressing and lower N-CoR-expressing cell-lines. C-terminal deletion of SKIP (delta334-536 aa) was associated with strong activation in both CV-1 and P19 cells. The corepressors N-CoR and SMRT and the coregulator p300 interacted with SKIP through the same N-terminal region (1-200 aa). Overall these results suggest that transcriptional action of SKIP may depend on distinct functional domains and cell line-specific interactions with both corepressors and coactivators.

Sessile organisms, such as plants, developed various ways to sense and respond to external and internal stimuli to maximize their fitness through evolutionary time. Transcripts and protein regulation are, among many, the main mechanisms that plants use to respond to environmental changes. SKIP protein is one such, presenting an SNKW interacting domain, which is highly conserved among eukaryotes, where SKI interacting protein acts in regulating key processes.

Vertebrate genes represent a rare instance of orthologous gene co-option, resulting in radically different functions of the encoded BetaM proteins. In lower vertebrates, BetaM is a Na, K-ATPase β-subunit that is a component of ion pumps in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals, BetaM lost its ancestral role and, through structural alterations of the N-terminal domain, became a skeletal and cardiac muscle-specific protein of the inner nuclear membrane, highly expressed during late fetal and early postnatal development.

Endoreduplication plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation, but the mechanisms regulating endoreduplication are still elusive. We have previously reported that UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE14 (UBP14) encoded by DA3 interacts with ULTRAVIOLETB INSENSITIVE4 (UVI4) to influence endoreduplication and cell growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The da3-1 mutant possesses larger cotyledons and flowers with higher ploidy levels than the wild-type.

The shoot apical meristem (SAM), which is formed during embryogenesis, generates leaves, stems, and floral organs during the plant life cycle. SAM development is controlled by SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM), a conserved Class I KNOX transcription factor that interacts with another subclass homeodomain protein, BELL, to form a heterodimer, which regulates gene expression at the transcriptional level in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Meanwhile, SKI-INTERACTING PROTEIN (SKIP), a conserved protein in eukaryotes, works as both a splicing factor and as a transcriptional regulator in plants to control gene expression at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels by interacting with distinct partners.
