Abstract
The evolutionary conserved family of 14-3-3 proteins appears to have a role in integrating numerous intracellular pathways, including signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism. However, little is known about how this interactive network might be affected by the direct abrogation of 14-3-3 function. The loss of Drosophila 14-3-3ε resulted in reduced survival of mutants during larval-to-adult transition, which is known to depend on an energy supply coming from the histolysis of fat body tissue. Here we report a differential proteomic analysis of larval fat body tissue at the onset of larval-to-adult transition, with the loss of 14-3-3ε resulting in the altered abundance of 16 proteins. These included proteins linked to protein biosynthesis, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and lipid metabolic pathways. The ecdysone receptor (EcR), which is responsible for initiating the larval-to-adult transition, colocalized with 14-3-3ε in wild-type fat body tissues. The altered protein abundance in 14-3-3ε mutant fat body tissue was associated with transcriptional deregulation of alcohol dehydrogenase, fat body protein 1, and lamin genes, which are known targets of the EcR. This study indicates that 14-3-3ε has a critical role in cellular metabolism involving either molecular crosstalk with the EcR or direct interaction with metabolic proteins.

Abstract
The secretion of anti-microbial peptides is recognised as an essential step in innate immunity, but there is limited knowledge of the molecular mechanism controlling the release of these effectors from immune response cells. Here, we report that Drosophila 14-3-3ε mutants exhibit reduced survival when infected with either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria, indicating a functional role for 14-3-3ε in innate immunity. In 14-3-3ε mutants, there was a reduced release of the anti-microbial peptide Drosomycin into the haemolymph, which correlated with an accumulation of Drosomycin-containing vesicles near the plasma membrane of cells isolated from immune response tissues. Drosomycin appeared to be delivered towards the plasma membrane in Rab4- and Rab11-positive vesicles and smaller Rab11-positive vesicles. RNAi silencing of Rab11 and Rab4 significantly blocked the anterograde delivery of Drosomycin from the perinuclear region to the plasma membrane. However, in 14-3-3ε mutants there was an accumulation of small Rab11-positive vesicles near the plasma membrane. This vesicular phenotype was similar to that observed in response to the depletion of the vesicular Syntaxin protein Syx1a. In wild-type Drosophila immune tissue, 14-3-3ε was detected adjacent to Rab11, and partially overlapping with Syx1a, on vesicles near the plasma membrane. We conclude that 14-3-3ε is required for Rab11-positive vesicle function, which in turn enables antimicrobial peptide secretion during an innate immune response.

Abstract
Protein trafficking is highly regulated in polarized cells. During development, how the trafficking of cell junctional proteins is regulated for cell specialization is largely unknown. In the maturation of Drosophila larval salivary glands (SGs), the Dlg protein is essential for septate junction formation. We show that Dlg was enriched in the apical membrane domain of proximal cells and localized basolaterally in distal mature cells. The transition of Dlg distribution was disrupted in nak mutants. Nak associated with the AP-2 subunit alpha-Ada and the AP-1 subunit AP-1gamma. In SG cells disrupting AP-1 and AP-2 activities, Dlg was enriched in the apical membrane. Therefore, Nak regulates the transition of Dlg distribution likely through endocytosis of Dlg from the apical membrane domain and transcytosis of Dlg to the basolateral membrane domain during the maturation of SGs development.

Abstract
Background The functional and clinical significance of 14-3-3 proteins in human cancers remain largely undetermined. Earlier, we have reported differential expression of 14-3-3ζ mRNA in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by differential display. Methods The clinical relevance of 14-3-3ζ protein in oral tumorigenesis was determined by immunohistochemistry in paraffin embedded sections of oral pre-malignant lesions (OPLs), OSCCs and histologically normal oral tissues and corroborated by Western Blotting. Co-immunoprecipitation assays were carried out to determine its association with NFκB, β-catenin and Bcl-2. Results Intense immunostaining of 14-3-3ζ protein was observed in 61/89 (69%) OPLs and 95/120 (79%) OSCCs. Immunohistochemistry showed significant increase in expression of 14-3-3ζ protein from normal mucosa to OPLs to OSCCs (ptrend < 0.001). Significant increase in expression of 14-3-3ζ protein was observed as early as in hyperplasia (p = 0.009), with further elevation in moderate and severe dysplasia, that was sustained in OSCCs. These findings were validated by Western blotting. Using Co-immunoprecipitation, we demonstrated that 14-3-3ζ protein binds to NFκB, β-catenin and Bcl-2, suggesting its involvement in cellular signaling, leading to proliferation of oral cancer cells. Conclusion Our findings suggest that over-expression of 14-3-3ζ is an early event in oral tumorigenesis and may have an important role in its development and progression. Thus, 14-3-3ζ may serve as an important molecular target for designing novel therapy for oral cancer.

Abstract
The functional specialization or redundancy of the ubiquitous 14-3-3 proteins constitutes a fundamental question in their biology and stems from their highly conserved structure and multiplicity of coexpressed isotypes. We address this question in vivo using mutations in the two Drosophila 14-3-3 genes, leonardo (14-3-3zeta) and D14-3-3epsilon. We demonstrate that D14-3-3epsilon is essential for embryonic hatching. Nevertheless, D14-3-3epsilon null homozygotes survive because they upregulate transcripts encoding the LEOII isoform at the time of hatching, compensating D14-3-3epsilon loss. This novel homeostatic response explains the reported functional redundancy of the Drosophila 14-3-3 isotypes and survival of D14-3-3epsilon mutants. The response appears unidirectional, as D14-3-3epsilon elevation upon LEO loss was not observed and elevation of leo transcripts was stage and tissue specific. In contrast, LEO levels are not changed in the wing disks, resulting in the aberrant wing veins characterizing D14-3-3epsilon mutants. Nevertheless, conditional overexpression of LEOI, but not of LEOII, in the wing disk can partially rescue the venation deficits. Thus, excess of a particular LEO isoform can functionally compensate for D14-3-3epsilon loss in a cellular-context-specific manner. These results demonstrate functional differences both among Drosophila 14-3-3 proteins and between the two LEO isoforms in vivo, which likely underlie differential dimer affinities toward 14-3-3 targets.

Abstract
The seven members of the human 14-3-3 protein family regulate a diverse range of cell signaling pathways by formation of protein-protein complexes with signaling proteins that contain phosphorylated Ser/Thr residues within specific sequence motifs. Previously, crystal structures of three 14-3-3 isoforms (zeta, sigma, and tau) have been reported, with structural data for two isoforms deposited in the Protein Data Bank (zeta and sigma). In this study, we provide structural detail for five 14-3-3 isoforms bound to ligands, providing structural coverage for all isoforms of a human protein family. A comparative structural analysis of the seven 14-3-3 proteins revealed specificity determinants for binding of phosphopeptides in a specific orientation, target domain interaction surfaces and flexible adaptation of 14-3-3 proteins through domain movements. Specifically, the structures of the beta isoform in its apo and peptide bound forms showed that its binding site can exhibit structural flexibility to facilitate binding of its protein and peptide partners. In addition, the complex of 14-3-3 beta with the exoenzyme S peptide displayed a secondary structural element in the 14-3-3 peptide binding groove. These results show that the 14-3-3 proteins are adaptable structures in which internal flexibility is likely to facilitate recognition and binding of their interaction partners.

Abstract
14-3-3 genes encode a ubiquitous family of highly conserved eukaryotic proteins from fungi to humans and plants with several molecular and cellular functions. Most notably, 14-3-3 proteins bind to phosphoserine/phosphothreonine motifs in a sequence-specific manner. More than 100 14-3-3 binding partners involved in signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, stress responses, and malignant transformation have been identified. The 14-3-3 proteins form homodimers and heterodimers, and there is redundancy of the binding specificity and function of different 14-3-3 proteins because of their highly similar amino acid sequence and tertiary structure. 14-3-3 proteins can regulate target protein function by several mechanisms. Although the molecular and cellular functions of 14-3-3 proteins have been well studied, there have been fewer studies addressing the in vivo role of 14-3-3s. Here we review what is known about 14-3-3 proteins during eukaryotic development.

Abstract
14-3-3 proteins exert an extraordinarily widespread influence on cellular processes in all eukaryotes. They operate by binding to specific phosphorylated sites on diverse target proteins, thereby forcing conformational changes or influencing interactions between their targets and other molecules. In these ways, 14-3-3s 'finish the job' when phosphorylation alone lacks the power to drive changes in the activities of intracellular proteins. By interacting dynamically with phosphorylated proteins, 14-3-3s often trigger events that promote cell survival--in situations from preventing metabolic imbalances caused by sudden darkness in leaves to mammalian cell-survival responses to growth factors. Recent work linking specific 14-3-3 isoforms to genetic disorders and cancers, and the cellular effects of 14-3-3 agonists and antagonists, indicate that the cellular complement of 14-3-3 proteins may integrate the specificity and strength of signalling through to different cellular responses.

Abstract
Nucleocytoplasmic transport of proteins plays an important role in the regulation of many cellular processes. Differences in nucleocytoplasmic shuttling can provide a basis for isoform-specific biological functions for members of multigene families, like the 14-3-3 protein family. Many organisms contain multiple 14-3-3 isoforms, which play a role in numerous processes, including signalling, cell cycle control and apoptosis. It is still unclear whether these isoforms have specialised biological functions and whether this specialisation is based on isoform-specific ligand binding, expression regulation or specific localisation. Therefore, we studied the subcellular distribution of 14-3-3 sigma and 14-3-3 zeta in vivo in various mammalian cell types using yellow fluorescent protein fusions and isoform-specific antibodies. 14-3-3 sigma was mainly localised in the cytoplasm and only low levels were present in the nucleus, whereas 14-3-3 zeta was found at relatively higher levels in the nucleus. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments indicated that the 14-3-3 proteins rapidly shuttle in and out of the nucleus through active transport and that the distinct subcellular distributions of 14-3-3 sigma and 14-3-3 zeta are caused by differences in nuclear export. 14-3-3 sigma had a 1.7x higher nuclear export rate constant than 14-3-3 zeta, while import rate constants were equal. The 14-3-3 proteins are exported from the nucleus at least in part by a Crm1-dependent, leptomycin B-sensitive mechanism. The differences in subcellular distribution of 14-3-3 that we found in this study are likely to reflect a molecular basis for isoform-specific biological specialisation.

Abstract
In the simple metazoan Hydra a clear link between food supply and cell survival has been established. Whilst in plants 14-3-3 proteins are found to be involved in signalling cascades that regulate metabolism, in animals they have been shown to participate in cell survival pathways. In order to explore the possibility that 14-3-3 proteins in Hydra could be involved in regulating metabolism under different conditions of food supply, we have cloned two isoforms of 14-3-3 proteins. We show here that 14-3-3 proteins bind to phosphorylated targets in Hydra and form homo- and heterodimers in vitro. 14-3-3 proteins are localised in the cytoplasm of all cells and also in the nuclei of some epithelial cells. This nuclear localisation becomes more prominent during starvation. Moreover, 14-3-3 protein is present in large amounts in food granules and from this we conclude that it performs functions which are associated with metabolism and food storage in Hydra.

Abstract
The members of the 14-3-3 isoform family have been shown to be developmentally regulated during animal embryogenesis, where they take part in cell differentiation processes. 14-3-3 isoform-specific expression patterns were studied in plant embryogenic processes, using barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) microspore embryogenesis as a model system. After embryogenesis induction by stress, microspores with enlarged morphology showed higher viability than non-enlarged ones. Following microspore culture, cell division was only observed among the enlarged microspores. Western blot and immunolocalization of three barley 14-3-3 isoforms, 14-3-3A, 14-3-3B and 14-3-3C were carried out using isoform-specific antibodies. The level of 14-3-3C protein was higher in enlarged microspores than in non-enlarged ones. A processed form of 14-3-3A was associated with the death pathway of the non-enlarged microspores. In the early embryogenesis stage, 14-3-3 subcellular localization differed among dividing and non-dividing microspores and the microspore-derived multicellular structures showed a polarized expression pattern of 14-3-3C and a higher 14-3-3A signal in epidermis primordia. In the late embryogenesis stage, 14-3-3C was specifically expressed underneath the L(1) layer of the shoot apical meristem and in the scutellum of embryo-like structures (ELSs). 14-3-3C was also expressed in the scutellum and underneath the L(1) layer of the shoot apical meristem of 21 d after pollination (DAP) zygotic embryos. These results reveal that 14-3-3A processing and 14-3-3C isoform tissue-specific expression are closely related to cell fate and initiation of specific cell type differentiation, providing a new insight into the study of 14-3-3 proteins in plant embryogenesis.

Abstract
PAR-1 kinases are required to determine the anterior-posterior (A-P) axis in C. elegans and Drosophila, but little is known about their molecular function. We identified 14-3-3 proteins as Drosophila PAR-1 interactors and show that PAR-1 binds a domain of 14-3-3 distinct from the phosphoserine binding pocket. PAR-1 kinases phosphorylate proteins to generate 14-3-3 binding sites and may therefore directly deliver 14-3-3 to these targets. 14-3-3 mutants display identical phenotypes to par-1 mutants in oocyte determination and the polarization of the A-P axis. Together, these results indicate that PAR-1's function is mediated by the binding of 14-3-3 to its substrates. The C. elegans 14-3-3 protein, PAR-5, is also required for A-P polarization, suggesting that this is a conserved mechanism by which PAR-1 establishes cellular asymmetries.

Abstract
The adult sea urchin central nervous system (CNS) is composed of five radial nerve cords connected to a circular nerve ring. Although much is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and function of the nervous systems of many invertebrate and vertebrate species, virtually nothing is known about these processes in echinoderms. We have isolated a set of clones from a size-selected cDNA library prepared from the nervous system of the sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma for use as probes. A total of 117 expressed sequence clones were used to search the GenBank database. Identified messages include genes that encode signaling proteins, cytoskeletal elements, cell surface proteins and receptors, cell proliferation and differentiation factors, transport and channel proteins, and a RNA DEAD box helicase. Expression was analyzed by RNA gel blot hybridization to document expression through development. Many of the genes have apparently neural limited expression and function, but some have been co-opted into new roles, notably associated with exocytotic events at fertilization. Localization of gene expression by whole-mount in situ hybridization shows that the morphologically simple sea urchin radial CNS exhibits complex organization into localized transcriptional domains. The transcription patterns reflect the morphological pentamery of the echinoderm CNS and provide no indication of an underlying functional bilateral symmetry in the CNS.

Abstract
The 14-3-3 proteins are a part of an emerging family of proteins and protein domains that bind to serine/threonine-phosphorylated residues in a context specific manner, analogous to the Src homology 2 (SH2) and phospho-tyrosine binding (PTB) domains. 14-3-3 proteins bind and regulate key proteins involved in various physiological processes such as intracellular signaling (e.g. Raf, MLK, MEKK, PI-3 kinase, IRS-1), cell cycling (e.g. Cdc25, Wee1, CDK2, centrosome), apoptosis (e.g. BAD, ASK-1) and transcription regulation (e.g. FKHRL1, DAF-16, p53, TAZ, TLX-2, histone deacetylase). In contrast to SH2 and PTB domains, which serve mainly to mediate protein-protein interactions, 14-3-3 proteins in many cases alter the function of the target protein, thus allowing them to serve as direct regulators of their targets. This review focuses on the various mechanisms employed by the 14-3-3 proteins in the regulation of their diverse targets, the structural basis for 14-3-3-target protein interaction with emphasis on the role of 14-3-3 dimerization in target protein binding and regulation and provides an insight on 14-3-3 regulation itself.

Abstract
Drosophila 14-3-3ε and 14-3-3ζ proteins have been shown to function in RAS/MAP kinase pathways that influence the differentiation of the adult eye and the embryo. Because 14-3-3 proteins have a conserved involvement in cell cycle checkpoints in other systems, we asked (1) whether Drosophila 14-3-3 proteins also function in cell cycle regulation, and (2) whether cell proliferation during Drosophila development has different requirements for the two 14-3-3 proteins. We find that antibody staining for 14-3-3 family members is cytoplasmic in interphase and perichromosomal in mitosis. Using mutants of cyclins, Cdk1 and Cdc25string to manipulate Cdk1 activity, we found that the localization of 14-3-3 proteins is coupled to Cdk1 activity and cell cycle stage. Relocalization of 14-3-3 proteins with cell cycle progression suggested cell-cycle-specific roles. This notion is confirmed by the phenotypes of 14-3-3ε and 14-3-3ζ mutants: 14-3-3ε is required to time mitosis in undisturbed post-blastoderm cell cycles and to delay mitosis following irradiation; 14-3-3ζ is required for normal chromosome separation during syncytial mitoses. We suggest a model in which 14-3-3 proteins act in the undisturbed cell cycle to set a threshold for entry into mitosis by suppressing Cdk1 activity, to block mitosis following radiation damage and to facilitate proper exit from mitosis.
