The transcription factor NFAT5/TonEBP belongs to the Rel family, which also comprises NF ÛB and NFATc proteins. NFAT5 only shares structural and functional homology with other Rel family members at the level of the DNA binding domain, and differs from them considerably in other regions. NFAT5 enables mammalian cells to adapt to and withstand hypertonicity by orchestrating an osmoprotective gene expression program whose products include chaperones as well as ransporters and enzymes that increase the intracellular concentration of compatible osmolytes.

As the so-called “Mothership of the Human Genome,” the cell nucleus must keep all vital genetic information safe, but accessible, inside a strong protective envelope. The inner membrane of the nuclear envelope is lined by tough but adaptable proteins called lamins. While lamins polymerize into fibrous structures that hold up the “walls” of the nucleus, they also serve as an internal scaffold for the complex machinery involved in DNA replication and gene expression. It is in this later role that we have been looking for clues to premature and possibly to normal aging. One type of lamins, Lamin

The DNA replication checkpoint transcriptionally up-regulates genes that allow cells to adapt to and survive replication stress. Our results show that, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the replication checkpoint regulates the entire G1/S transcriptional program by directly regulating MBF (aka DSC1), the G1/S transcription factor. Instead of initiating a checkpoint-specific transcriptional program, the replication checkpoint targets MBF to maintain the normal G1/S transcriptional program during replication stress. We propose a mechanism for this regulation, based on in vitrophosp

The RbµE2F transcriptional regulatory pathway plays a critical role in the cell cycle. Rb is inactivated through multiple waves of phosphorylation, mediated mainly by cyclin D and cyclin E associated kinases. Once Rb is inactivated, cells can enter Sµphase. Collectively, three Rb family members and ten E2F proteins coordinate every additional stage of the cell cycle, from quiescence to mitosis. However the RbµE2F pathway is frequently altered in cancer. Aside from cell proliferation, the RbµE2F pathway regulates other essential cellular processes including apoptosis, cell differentiation, angi

After almost two decades of research on direct repression by p53, I provide evidence that the transcription factor p53 solely acts as an activator of transcription.

With this tool at hand, the major contradiction how p53 binding can result in activation of one target gene and repression of another is resolved. In contrast to most current models, solely genes activated by p53 are found to be enriched for p53 binding. Meta-analysis of large-scale data is unable to conf

Bacterial cells reproduce by doubling in size and dividing.

Under such conditions several rounds of replication are maintained in parallel and a cell will inherit replication processes which were initiated by an ancestor.

Proper regulation of cellular proliferation is critical for normal development and cancer prevention. Most, if not all, cancers contain mutations in the Rb/E2F pathway, which controls cellular proliferation. Inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) can occur through Rb loss, mutation, or inactivation by cellular or viral oncoproteins leading to unrestrained proliferation. This occurs primarily by de-repression and activation of the E2F transcription factors, which promote the transition of cells from the G1to S phase of the cell cycle.

Abstract:
Vitamin D is produced in the skin or obtained from limited dietary sources. Two sequential hydroxylation reactions in the liver and kidney produce the active form of the hormone, 1,25-(OH)2D3, which binds to and activates VDR to regulate gene expression (genomic effects) or to VDRmem or MARRS to trigger certain signalling pathways (non-genomic effects). 1,25-(OH)2D3 is best known for its effects on calcium and phosphate metabolism, but it also possesses chemopreventive properties for many types of cancers, particularly those of the digestive tract.The anti-proliferative effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3
