Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) induces apoptosis and, thus, is maintained at a low level via ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified Siah1, a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase, as an interacting protein of HIPK2. Siah1 targeted HIPK2 for poly-ubiquitination-mediated proteasomal degradation. Degradation of HIPK2 by Siah1 was blocked by forced expression of either Mixed Lineage Kinase-3 or Epstein-Barr viral protein LMP-1, as well as by DNA damaging stimuli. These findings effectively illustrate the regulatory mechanisms underlying HIPK2 stabilization by escape from Siah1-mediated degradation, and that Siah1 is an integration target for several internal or external stimuli for HIPK2 stabilization.

Proteasomes are protein complexes responsible for degrading unneeded or damaged proteins through proteolysis and play critical roles in regulating plant development and response to environmental stresses. However, it is still unclear whether proteasomes regulate fruit development and ripening. In this study, we investigated the function of a core proteasome subunit, SlPBB2, in tomato fruit.

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors play a pivotal role in treating various tumors; however, the clinical characteristics and molecular mechanisms of their associated heart failure (HF) remain incompletely understood.
Methods: We investigated the epidemiological characteristics of VEGF or VEGFR inhibitors [VEGF(R)i]-related heart failure (VirHF) using the global pharmacovigilance database Vigibase. The phenotypic features and molecular mechanisms of VirHF were characterized using VEGF(R)i-treated mouse models through a combination of echocardiography, histopathological analysis, and transcriptome sequencing.
Background: HuR/ELAV1, a ubiquitous RNA-binding protein, belongs to the RNA-binding protein family and is crucial for stabilizing and regulating the translation of various mRNA targets, influencing gene expression. Elevated HuR levels are associated with multiple disorders, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the identification of small molecule inhibitors targeting HuR, their detailed characterization remains limited.
