AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
BRCC36 is a Zn(2+)-dependent deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that hydrolyzes lysine-63-linked ubiquitin chains as part of distinct macromolecular complexes that participate in either interferon signaling or DNA-damage recognition. The MPN(+) domain protein BRCC36 associates with pseudo DUB MPN(-) proteins KIAA0157 or Abraxas, which are essential for BRCC36 enzymatic activity. To understand the basis for BRCC36 regulation, we have solved the structure of an active BRCC36-KIAA0157 heterodimer and an inactive BRCC36 homodimer. Structural and functional characterizations show how BRCC36 is switched to an active conformation by contacts with KIAA0157. Higher-order association of BRCC36 and KIAA0157 into a dimer of heterodimers (super dimers) was required for DUB activity and interaction with targeting proteins SHMT2 and RAP80. These data provide an explanation of how an inactive pseudo DUB allosterically activates a cognate DUB partner and implicates super dimerization as a new regulatory mechanism underlying BRCC36 DUB activity, subcellular localization, and biological function.

In previous studies, we purified the DUB-module of the Drosophila SAGA complex and showed that a number of zinc proteins interact with it, including Aef1 and CG10543. In this work, we conducted a genome-wide study of the Aef1 and CG10543 proteins and showed that they are localized predominantly on the promoters of active genes. The binding sites of these proteins co-localize with the SAGA and dSWI/SNF chromatin modification and remodeling complexes, as well as with the ORC replication complex.

In previous studies, we found that the zinc finger proteins Su(Hw) and CG9890 interact with the Drosophila SAGA complex and participate in the formation of the active chromatin structure and transcription regulation. In this research, we discovered the interaction of the DUB module of the SAGA complex with another zinc finger protein, CG9609. ChIP-Seq analysis was performed, and CG9609 binding sites in the Drosophila genome were identified.

Background: Abnormal antioxidant capacity in cancer cells is intimately linked to tumor aggressiveness. Modulating oxidative stress status and inhibiting ferroptosis represents a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy. STAM Binding Protein Like 1 (STAMBPL1), a deubiquitinase, is implicated in various malignancies, yet its function in inhibiting ferroptosis and therapeutic potential for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains unexplored.

The adenomas in Cushing's disease frequently exhibit mutations in exon 14, within a binding motif for the regulatory protein 14-3-3 located between the catalytic domain (DUB), responsible for ubiquitin hydrolysis, and the WW-like domain that mediates autoinhibition, resulting in constantly active USP8. The exact molecular mechanism of deubiquitinase activity disruption in Cushing's disease remains unclear. To address this, Sanger sequencing of was performed to identify mutations in corticotropinomas.

Generative models for the inverse design of molecules with particular properties have been heavily hyped, but have yet to demonstrate significant gains over machine-learning-augmented expert intuition. A major challenge of such models is their limited accuracy in predicting molecules with targeted properties in the data-scarce regime, which is the regime typical of the prized outliers that it is hoped inverse models will discover. For example, activity data for a drug target or stability data for a material may only number in the tens to hundreds of samples, which is insufficient to learn an accurate and reasonably general property-to-structure inverse mapping from scratch.
