Abstract Increasing evidence links deregulation of the ubiquitin-specific proteases 22 (USP22) deubitiquitylase to cancer development and progression in a select group tumor types, but its specificity underlying mechanisms action are not well defined. Here we show that USP22 is critical promoter lethal phenotypes acts by modulating nuclear receptor oncogenic signaling. In multiple xenograft models human cancer, modeling tumor-associated demonstrated controls androgen accumulation signaling,...
Significance The deubiquitylase USP22 is frequently overexpressed in cancer and contributes to tumorigenesis by driving cell cycle progression. Current models define as functional mediator of gene regulation chromatin modification, working within the SAGA transcriptional cofactor complex. Here we report a catalytic role for distinct from its well-characterized transcription regulatory capacity. directly stabilizes essential G1-cyclin, CCND1, protecting it proteasome-mediated degradation via...
Chromosomal instability (CIN) in tumors is characterized by chromosomal abnormalities and an altered gene expression signature; however, the mechanism of CIN poorly understood. CCND1 (which encodes cyclin D1) overexpressed human malignancies has been shown to play a direct role transcriptional regulation. Here, we used genome-wide ChIP sequencing found that DNA-bound form D1 occupied regulatory region genes governing integrity mitochondrial biogenesis. Adding back Ccnd1–/– mouse embryonic...
Emerging evidence indicates the deubiquitinase USP22 regulates transcriptional activation and modification of target substrates to promote pro-oncogenic phenotypes. Here,
The tumor suppressor p53 induces apoptosis by altering the transcription of pro-apoptotic targets in nucleus and a direct, nontranscriptional role at mitochondria. Although post-translational modifications regulating nuclear apoptotic functions have been thoroughly characterized, little is known how transcription-independent are controlled. We others identified acetylation DNA binding domain lysine 120 as critical event induction. initial studies showed that Lys-120 plays function nucleus,...
Aberrant activation of transposable elements (TEs) has been a well-documented source genomic instability and disease, stemming from their insertion into genes imposition epigenetic effects on nearby loci. However, the extent to which disruptive involve concomitant or subsequent formation DNA:RNA hybrids (R-loops) remains unknown. Here we used immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (DRIP-seq) map R-loop profiles TEs satellites in D. melanogaster ovaries control rhino...
In unstressed cells, the p53 tumor suppressor is highly unstable. DNA damage and other forms of cellular stress rapidly stabilize activate p53. This process regulated by a complex array post-translational modifications that are dynamically deposited onto Recent studies show these orchestrate p53-mediated processes such as cell cycle arrest apoptosis. Cancer cells carry inherent genetic damage, but avoid apoptosis inactivating Defining enzymatic machinery regulates stress-induced modification...
Aberrant MYC expression is a common oncogenic event in human cancer. Paradoxically, can either drive cell cycle progression or induce apoptosis. The latent ability of to apoptosis has been termed "intrinsic tumor suppressor activity," and reactivating this apoptotic function tumors widely considered valuable therapeutic goal. As transcription factor, controls the many downstream targets, for majority these, it remains unclear whether not they play direct roles function. To identify subset...

R-loops are three-stranded nucleotide structures consisting of a DNA:RNA hybrid and displaced ssDNA non-template strand. Previous work suggests that R-loop formation is primarily determined by the thermodynamics binding, which governed base composition (e.g., GC skew) transcription-induced DNA superhelicity. However, have been described at genomic locations lack these properties, suggesting they may serve other context-specific roles. To better understand genetic determinants formation, we...
