AI Article Synopsis

  • The study found that knocking down DCUN1D3 hinders S phase progression after UV exposure by increasing p27 protein levels.
  • Through experiments, it was discovered that DCUN1D3 interacts with CAND1, and their combined effects prevent S phase progression.
  • The absence of DCUN1D3 reduces Cullin-1 neddylation, which disrupts the SCFSKP2 complex that normally targets p27, leading to a buildup of p27 and subsequently blocking the S phase.

Article Abstract

Our previous study showed that knockdown the endogenous expression of DCUN1D3 (also called SCCRO3 or DCNL3) blocked the S phase progression after UV irradiation. Here, we show that the silence of DCUN1D3 can increase the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 protein levels after UV irradiation. Through Co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we found that DCUN1D3 bound to CAND1. And DCUN1D3 knockdown synergized with CAND1 over-expression in arresting the S phase. Given the CAND1's established role in Cullin-1 neddylation, we found Cullin-1 was less neddylated in DCUN1D3 deficient cells. So the silence of DCUN1D3 can inhibit the formation of SCFSKP2 complex by reducing Cullin-1 neddylation. Given that p27 is the primary target of SCFSKP2 complex, the cells lost DCUN1D3 showed a remarkable accumulation of p27 to cause S phase block.

Cross-ancestry analysis identifies genes associated with obesity risk and protection.

medRxiv

October 2024

Gene discoveries in obesity have largely been based on European cohorts, leading to an ancestral bias, that limits their generalizability across populations. We performed a gene-based rare variant association study of 721,941 individuals and identified 116 novel BMI-associated genes with consistent effects across ancestries, including 50 risk-conferring and 66 protective genes against obesity. Protective genes such as and had effect sizes comparable to high-risk genes such as and , and nearly twice that of known protective genes such as , which, along with five other genes, showed strong European bias.

Sleep restriction is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, which is more pronounced in female than male persons. We reported recently first causal evidence that mild, prolonged sleep restriction mimicking "real-life" conditions impairs endothelial function, a key step in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, in healthy female persons. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear.

Characterization of the mammalian family of DCN-type NEDD8 E3 ligases.

J Cell Sci

April 2016

Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, UK

Cullin-RING ligases (CRL) are ubiquitin E3 enzymes that bind substrates through variable substrate receptor proteins and are activated by attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to the cullin subunit. DCNs are NEDD8 E3 ligases that promote neddylation. Mammalian cells express five DCN-like (DCNL) proteins but little is known about their specific functions or interaction partners.
