Under cell stress, global protein synthesis is inhibited to preserve energy. One mechanism sequester and silence mRNAs in ribonucleoprotein complexes known as stress granules (SGs), which contain translationally silent mRNAs, preinitiation factors, RNA-binding proteins. Y-box binding 1 (YB-1) localizes SGs, but its role SG biology unknown. We now report that YB-1 directly binds activates the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of G3BP1 thereby controlling availability nucleator for assembly....

Translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) is a heterotrimeric protein that transfers methionyl-initiator tRNAMet to the small ribosomal subunit in ternary complex with GTP. The eIF2 phosphorylated on serine 51 of its α [eIF2(αP)] acts as competitive inhibitor guanine nucleotide exchange factor, eIF2B, impairing formation and thereby inhibiting translation initiation. eIF2B comprised catalytic regulatory subcomplexes harboring independent binding sites; however, it was unknown whether directly...

Although gemcitabine is the standard chemotherapy treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer, its benefits are quite limited due to prevalent chemoresistance, and mechanism underlying chemoresistance remains unclear. Currently, Nrf2 has been deemed as a significant contributor in cancer. Brusatol unique inhibitor of pathway, previous studies, we determined that brusatol exhibits effects growth inhibition proapoptosis cancer cells. Due these data, speculate can reverse gemcitabine‐induced...

Abstract Numerous cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa), are addicted to transcription programs driven by specific genomic regions known as super-enhancers (SEs). The robust of genes at such SEs is enabled the formation phase-separated condensates factors and coactivators with intrinsically disordered regions. androgen receptor (AR), main oncogenic driver in PCa, contains large co-recruited transcriptional coactivator mediator complex subunit 1 (MED1) androgen-dependent PCa cells, thereby...

Cells limit energy-consuming mRNA translation during stress to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Sequestration of mRNAs by RNA binding proteins (RBPs) into granules reduces their translation, but it remains unclear whether RBPs also function in partitioning specific transcripts polysomes (PSs) guide selective and adaptation cancer. To study transcript under cell stress, we catalogued enriched prostate carcinoma PC-3 PSs, as defined polysome fractionation sequencing (RNAseq), compared them...

The positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) contains cyclin T1 (CycT1) and cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9). For activating the expression of eukaryotic genes, histidine-rich sequence in CycT1 binds heptapeptide repeats C-terminal domain (CTD) RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), whereupon Cdk9 phosphorylates CTD. We found that alanine-substituted cannot be phosphorylated also bind CycT1. When placed near units, these CTD analogs block effects P-TEFb. Remarkably, transcriptional repressor...

Abstract Background Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) is thought to influence the translational efficiencies of cellular mRNAs by its roles in forming an eIF4F-mRNA-PABP mRNP that competent for attachment 43S preinitiation complex, and scanning through structured 5' UTR sequences. We have tested this hypothesis determining effects genetically depleting eIF4G from yeast cells on global (TEs), using gene expression microarrays measure abundance mRNA polysomes relative total...

Scd6 protein family members are evolutionarily conserved components of translationally silent mRNA granules. Yeast interacts with Dcp2 and Dhh1, respectively a subunit regulator the decapping enzyme, also associates translation initiation factor eIF4G to inhibit in cell extracts. However, role turnover translational repression vivo is unclear. We demonstrate that tethering GFP reporter reduces abundance via suppresses Dhh1.
