Abstract
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. In model organisms, sleep restriction increases oxidative stress and upregulates antioxidant response via induction of the antioxidant regulator nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2). Here, we assessed directly endothelial cell oxidative stress and antioxidant responses in healthy female persons (n = 35) after 6 weeks of mild sleep restriction (1.5 h less than habitual sleep) using randomized crossover design. Sleep restriction markedly increased endothelial oxidative stress without upregulating antioxidant response. Using RNA-seq and a predicted protein-protein interaction database, we identified reduced expression of endothelial Defective in Cullin Neddylation-1 Domain Containing 3 (DCUN1D3), a protein that licenses Nrf2 antioxidant responses, as a mediator of impaired endothelial antioxidant response in sleep restriction. Thus, sleep restriction impairs clearance of endothelial oxidative stress that over time increases cardiovascular risk.Trial Registration: NCT02835261 .

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy marked by heterogeneity. This study aimed to discover target molecules for potential therapeutic efficacy that may encompass HCC heterogeneity. In silico analysis using published datasets identified 16 proto-oncogenes as potential pharmacological targets. We used an immortalized hepatocyte (IHH) and five HCC cell lines under two subtypes: S1/TGFβ-Wnt-activated (HLE, HLF, and JHH6) and the S2/progenitor subtype (HepG2 and Huh7). Three treatment modalities, 5 µM 5-Azacytidine, 50 µM Sorafenib, and 20 nM PD-L1 gene silencing, were evaluated in vitro. The effect of treatments on the proto-oncogene targets was assessed by gene expression and Western blot analysis. Our results showed that 10/16 targets were upregulated in HCC cells, where cells belonging to the S2/progenitor subtype had more upregulated targets compared to the S1/TGFβ-Wnt-activated subtype (81% vs. 62%, respectively). Among the targets, FGR was consistently down-regulated in the cell lines following the three different treatments. Sorafenib was effective to down-regulate targets in S2/progenitor subtype while PD-L1 silencing was able to decrease targets in all HCC subtypes, suggesting that this treatment strategy may comprise cellular heterogeneity. This study strengthens the relevance of liver cancer cellular heterogeneity in response to cancer therapies.

Abstract
CD8+ T cells in the lesioned site play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The chemokine CXCL10 secreted by keratinocytes regulates the migration of CD8+ T cells into the skin. In our previous study, we found that DCUN1D1 expression in vitiligo lesions positively correlates with Cxcl10 expression. In this study, the regulatory effect of DCUN1D1 on CXCL10 and cell function was investigated. DCUN1D1 protein expression was significantly higher in the skin tissue from vitiligo lesions compared with samples from healthy controls. High expression of DCUN1D1 in keratinocytes caused local hair depigmentation in mice, reduced melanin content, high infiltration of CD8+ T cells and increased CXCL10 expression. This suggested that DCUN1D1 may regulate CD8+ T-cell infiltration and depigmentation through CXCL10. Inhibition of DCUN1D1 expression in HaCaT cells abolished the IFN-γ-induced upregulation of p-JAK1, p-STAT1 and CXCL10, suppressed the H2 O2 -induced ROS generation and apoptosis, and upregulated tyrosinase expression in melanocytes. Collectively, these results show that DCUN1D1 is an important regulator of CXCL10 and may be a new target for the treatment of vitiligo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy, and T-ALL patients are prone to early disease relapse and suffer from poor outcomes. The crucial function of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) has been reported in the progression of cancers by regulating the expression of transcripts. This study aimed to reveal the role and molecular regulatory mechanism of RBP Pumilio2 (PUM2) in T-ALL. METHODS The expression of genes was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis. The viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of T-ALL cells were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, and flow cytometry analysis. Luciferase reporter, RNA pulldown, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the binding of PUM2 to RBM5. The combination between RNA-binding motif protein 5 (RBM5) and microRNA (miR)-28-5p was validated using luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS Our data revealed that PUM2 was highly expressed in T-ALL blood samples and cell lines. PUM2 knockdown suppressed the proliferation but accelerated the apoptosis of T-ALL cells in vitro. Additionally, RBM5 exhibited a low expression level in T-ALL samples and cells. PUM2 negatively regulated RBM5 via targeting its 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). Moreover, PUM2 competitively bound to RBM5 3'UTR with miR-28-5p. Rescue experiments showed that RBM5 knockdown reversed the anti-tumor effects mediated by PUM2 knockdown in T-ALL cells. CONCLUSION PUM2 plays as a novel oncogenic RBP in T-ALL by competitively binding to RBM5 mRNA with miR-28-5p.

Abstract
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is critically important for cellular homeostasis and affects virtually all key functions in normal and neoplastic cells. Currently, a comprehensive review of the role of the UPS in ependymoma (EPN) brain tumors is lacking but may provide valuable new information on cellular networks specific to different EPN subtypes and reveal future therapeutic targets. We have reviewed publicly available EPN gene transcription datasets encoding components of the UPS pathway. Reactome analysis of these data revealed genes and pathways that were able to distinguish different EPN subtypes with high significance. We identified differential transcription of several genes encoding ubiquitin E2 conjugases associated with EPN subtypes. The expression of the E2 conjugase genes UBE2C, UBE2S, and UBE2I was elevated in the ST_EPN_RELA subtype. The UBE2C and UBE2S enzymes are associated with the ubiquitin ligase anaphase promoting complex (APC/c), which regulates the degradation of substrates associated with cell cycle progression, whereas UBE2I is a Sumo-conjugating enzyme. Additionally, elevated in ST_EPN_RELA were genes for the E3 ligase and histone deacetylase HDAC4 and the F-box cullin ring ligase adaptor FBX031. Cluster analysis demonstrated several genes encoding E3 ligases and their substrate adaptors as EPN subtype specific genetic markers. The most significant Reactome Pathways associated with differentially expressed genes for E3 ligases and their adaptors included antigen presentation, neddylation, sumoylation, and the APC/c complex. Our analysis provides several UPS associated factors that may be attractive markers and future therapeutic targets for the subtype-specific treatment of EPN patients.

Abstract
Background: Molecular-targeted therapy plays an important role in the combined treatment of breast cancer. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) plays a significant role in regulating breast cancer progression. The present study is to reveal the potential roles and molecular mechanism that the secretory carrier-associated membrane protein 1-transcript variant 2 (SCAMP1-TV2) has in breast. Methods: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull-down assays were employed to determine the interactions between SCAMP1-TV2 and Pumilio RNA binding family member 2 (PUM2). The luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were used to get to know the effect of human insulinoma-associated 1 (INSM1) directly on the SAM and SH3 domain containing 1 (SASH1) promoter. Results: Silenced SCAMP1-TV2 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells, and promoted cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, SCAMP1-TV2 downregulation decreased its binding to PUM2 and increased the binding of PUM2 to INSM1 messenger RNA (mRNA), thus promoting the degradation of INSM1 mRNA. Silencing INSM1 decreased its inhibitory effect on SASH1 transcription and inhibited the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. The xenograft tumor growth in a nude mice was significantly inhibited by the silencing of SCAMP1-TV2 in combination with the overexpression of PUM2. Conclusions: SCAMP1-TV2/PUM2/INSM1 pathway plays an important role in regulating the biological behavior of breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Protein neddylation is a post-translational modification which transfers the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to a lysine residue of the target substrate through a three-step enzymatic cascade. The best-known substrates of neddylation are cullin family proteins, which are the core component of Cullin–RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). Given that cullin neddylation is required for CRL activity, and CRLs control the turn-over of a variety of key signal proteins and are often abnormally activated in cancers, targeting neddylation becomes a promising approach for discovery of novel anti-cancer therapeutics. In the past decade, we have witnessed significant progress in the field of protein neddylation from preclinical target validation, to drug screening, then to the clinical trials of neddylation inhibitors. In this review, we first briefly introduced the nature of protein neddylation and the regulation of neddylation cascade, followed by a summary of all reported chemical inhibitors of neddylation enzymes. We then discussed the structure-based targeting of protein–protein interaction in neddylation cascade, and finally the available approaches for the discovery of new neddylation inhibitors. This review will provide a focused, up-to-date and yet comprehensive overview on the discovery effort of neddylation inhibitors.

Abstract
Most cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are already advanced at the time of diagnosis, which limits treatment options. Challenges in early‐stage diagnosis may be due to the genetic complexity of HCC. Gene fusion plays a critical function in tumorigenesis and cancer progression in multiple cancers, yet the identities of fusion genes as potential diagnostic markers in HCC have not been investigated. Here, we employed STAR‐Fusion and identified 43 recurrent fusion events in our own and four public RNA‐seq datasets. We identified 2354 different gene fusions in two hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐HCC patients. Validation analysis against the four RNA‐seq datasets revealed that only 1.8% (43/2354) were recurrent fusions. Comparison with the four fusion databases demonstrated that 19 recurrent fusions were not previously annotated to diseases and three were annotated as disease‐related fusion events. Finally, we validated six of the novel fusion events, including RP11‐476K15.1‐CTD‐2015H3.2, by RT‐PCR and Sanger sequencing of 14 pairs of HBV‐related HCC samples. In summary, our study provides new insights into gene fusions in HCC and may contribute to the development of anti‐HCC therapy.

Abstract
The activity of Cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligases (CRL) is regulated by NEDD8 modification. DCN-like proteins promote Cullin neddylation as scaffold-like E3s. One DCNL, DCNL5, is highly expressed in immune tissue. Here, we provide evidence that DCNL5 may be involved in innate immunity, as it is a direct substrate of the kinase IKKα during immune signalling. We find that upon activation of Toll-like receptors, DCNL5 gets rapidly and transiently phosphorylated on a specific N-terminal serine residue (S41). This phosphorylation event is specifically mediated by IKKα and not IKKβ. Our data for the first time provides evidence that DCNL proteins are post-translationally modified in an inducible manner. Our findings also provide the first example of a DCNL member as a kinase substrate in a signalling pathway, indicating that the activity of at least some DCNLs may be regulated.

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.

J Virol 2017; 91:e00340-17.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-encoded X protein (HBx) plays a critical role in HBV-related hepatocarcinoma development. In this study, we demonstrate that HBx is specifically modified by NEDD8. We found that E3 ligase HDM2 promotes NEDDylation of HBx to enhance HBx stability by preventing its ubiquitination-mediated degradation. Consistently, analysis of 160 hepatocellular carcinoma patient specimens indicated that the amount of HDM2 protein correlates with HBx protein level. We identified that HBx K91 and K95 as the key HBx NEDDylation sites and observed that the NEDDylation-deficient HBx has shorter half-life. We generated Huh7 cell lines which ectopically express wild-type and NEDDylation-deficient HBx and found that NEDDylation-deficient HBx showed less chromatin localization and less DDB1 binding. Consistently, the expression of HBx-regulated genes (IL-8, MMP9, and YAP) and HBV transcription (the activity of HBV enhancer and the amount of pgRNA transcribed from cccDNA) were significantly higher in cells expressing wild-type (WT) HBx than that in cells expressing mutant HBx. In addition, HBx-expressing cells proliferated faster than control and mutant HBx-expressing cells. We also showed that the ability of WT HBx-expressing cells to form tumors in nude mice was significantly higher than that of mutant HBx-expressing cells. In conclusion, we revealed that E3 ligase HDM2 promotes NEDDylation of HBx to enhance HBx stability and chromatin localization, which in turn favors HBx-dependent transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation, and HBV-driven tumor growth.IMPORTANCE Hepatitis B virus (HBV) HBx protein plays a critical role in viral replication and hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the regulation of HBx stability is not well understood. We found that HBx is modified by NEDD8 and that the HDM2 E3 ligase promotes HBx NEDDylation to enhance HBx stability by inhibiting its ubiquitination. We provide a new evidence to show the positive correlation between HDM2 and HBx in clinical hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples. We also identified the major NEDDylation sites on HBx. Our studies indicate that the defective NEDDylation of HBx negatively affects its ability to activate the transcription of downstream genes and promote cell proliferation and tumor growth in vivo Taken together, our findings reveal a novel posttranslational modification of HBx by HDM2 which regulates its stability, subcellular localization, and functions. These findings indicate that HDM2 is an important regulator on HBx and a potential diagnosis/therapeutic marker for HBV-associated HCC.

Abstract
The question as to why a protein exerts oncogenic properties is answered mainly by well-established ideas that these proteins interfere with cellular signaling pathways. However, the knowledge about structural and functional peculiarities of the oncoproteins causing these effects is far from comprehensive. The 97.5% homologous tissue-specific A1 and A2 isoforms of mammalian translation elongation factor eEF1A represent an interesting model to study a difference between protein variants of a family that differ in oncogenic potential. We propose that the different oncogenic impact of A1 and A2 might be explained by differences in their ability to communicate with their respective cellular partners. Here we probed this hypothesis by studying the interaction of eEF1A with two known partners - calmodulin and actin. Indeed, an inability of the A2 isoform to interact with calmodulin is shown, while calmodulin is capable of binding A1 and interferes with its tRNA-binding and actin-bundling activities in vitro. Both A1 and A2 variants revealed actin-bundling activity; however, the form of bundles formed in the presence of A1 or A2 was distinctly different. Thus, a potential inability of A2 to be controlled by Ca2+-mediated regulatory systems is revealed.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma-related oncogene (SCCRO)/DCUN1D1, a component of the neddylation E3 complex, regulates the activity of the cullin-RING-ligase type of ubiquitination E3s by promoting neddylation of cullin family members. Studies have shown that SCCRO regulates proliferation in vitro and in vivo Here we show that inactivation of SCCRO results in prolonged mitotic time because of delayed and/or failed abscission. The effects of SCCRO on abscission involve its role in neddylation and localization of Cul3 to the midbody. The Cul3 adaptor KLHL21 mediates the effects of SCCRO on abscission, as it fails to localize to the midbody in SCCRO-deficient cells during abscission, and its inactivation resulted in phenotypic changes identical to SCCRO inactivation. Ubiquitination-promoted turnover of Aurora B at the midbody was deficient in SCCRO- and KLHL21-deficient cells, suggesting that it is the target of Cul3KLHL21 at the midbody. Correction of abscission delays in SCCRO-deficient cells with addition of an Aurora B inhibitor at the midbody stage suggests that Aurora B is the target of SCCRO-promoted Cul3KLHL21 activity. The activity of other Cul3-anchored complexes, including Cul3KLHL9/KLHL13, was intact in SCCRO-deficient cells, suggesting that SCCRO selectively, rather than collectively, neddylates cullins in vivo Combined, these findings support a model in which the SCCRO, substrate, and substrate adaptors cooperatively provide tight control of neddylation and cullin-RING-ligase activity in vivo.

Abstract
Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2) plays a pivotal role in glioma development. Here we conducted a comprehensive study of the critical gene regulatory networks involving OLIG2. These include the networks responsible for OLIG2 expression, its translocation to nucleus, cell cycle, epigenetic regulation, and Rho-pathway interactions. We described positive feedback loops including OLIG2: loops of epigenetic regulation and loops involving receptor tyrosine kinases. These loops may be responsible for the prolonged oncogenic activity of OLIG2. The proposed schemes for epigenetic regulation of the gene networks involving OLIG2 are confirmed by patient survival (Kaplan-Meier) curves based on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) datasets. Finally, we elucidate the Coherent-Gene Modules (CGMs) networks-framework of OLIG2 involvement in cancer. We showed that genes interacting with OLIG2 formed eight CGMs having a set of intermodular connections. We showed also that among the genes involved in these modules the most connected hub is EGFR, then, on lower level, HSP90 and CALM1, followed by three lower levels including epigenetic genes KDM1A and NCOR1. The genes on the six upper levels of the hierarchy are involved in interconnections of all eight CGMs and organize functionally defined gene-signaling subnetworks having specific functions. For example, CGM1 is involved in epigenetic control. CGM2 is significantly related to cell proliferation and differentiation. CGM3 includes a number of interconnected helix-loop-helix transcription factors (bHLH) including OLIG2. Many of these TFs are partially controlled by OLIG2. The CGM4 is involved in PDGF-related: angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and differentiation. These analyses provide testable hypotheses and approaches to inhibit OLIG2 pathway and relevant feed-forward and feedback loops to be interrogated. This broad approach can be applied to other TFs.

Abstract
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. We found that DCNLs form stable stoichiometric complexes with CAND1 and cullins that can only be neddylated in the presence of a substrate adaptor. These CAND-cullin-DCNL complexes might represent 'reserve' CRLs that can be rapidly activated when needed. We further found that all DCNLs interact with most cullin subtypes, but that they are probably responsible for the neddylation of different subpopulations of any given cullin. This is consistent with the fact that the subcellular localization of DCNLs in tissue culture cells differs and that they show unique tissue-specific expression patterns in mice. Thus, the specificity between DCNL-type NEDD8 E3 enzymes and their cullin substrates is only apparent in well-defined physiological contexts and related to their subcellular distribution and restricted expression.

Abstract
SCCRO (squamous cell carcinoma-related oncogene; also known as DCUN1D1) is a highly conserved gene that functions as an E3 in neddylation. Although inactivation of SCCRO in yeast results in lethality, SCCRO(-/-) mice are viable. The exclusive presence of highly conserved paralogues in higher organisms led us to assess whether compensation by SCCRO paralogues rescues lethality in SCCRO(-/-) mice. Using murine and Drosophila models, we assessed the in vivo activities of SCCRO and its paralogues in cullin neddylation. We found that SCCRO family members have overlapping and antagonistic activity that regulates neddylation and cell proliferation activities in vivo. In flies, both dSCCRO and dSCCRO3 promote neddylation and cell proliferation, whereas dSCCRO4 negatively regulates these processes. Analysis of somatic clones showed that the effects that these paralogues have on proliferation serve to promote cell competition, leading to apoptosis in clones with a net decrease in neddylation activity. We found that dSCCRO and, to a lesser extent, dSCCRO3 rescue the neddylation and proliferation defects promoted by expression of SCCRO4. dSCCRO and dSCCRO3 functioned cooperatively, with their coexpression resulting in an increase in both the neddylated cullin fraction and proliferation activity. In contrast, human SCCRO and SCCRO4 promote, and human SCCRO3 inhibits, neddylation and proliferation when expressed in flies. Our findings provide the first insights into the mechanisms through which SCCRO family members cooperatively regulate neddylation and cell proliferation.

Abstract
The maintenance of genomic integrity is an important process in organisms as failure to sense and repair damaged DNA can result in a variety of diseases. Eukaryotic cells have developed complex DNA repair response (DDR) mechanisms to accurately sense and repair damaged DNA. Post-translational modifications by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins, such as SUMO and NEDD8, have roles in coordinating the progression of DDR. Proteins in the neddylation pathway have also been linked to regulating DDR. Of interest is the COP9 signalosome (CSN), a multi-subunit metalloprotease present in eukaryotes that removes NEDD8 from cullins and regulates the activity of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). This in turn regulates the stability and turnover of a host of CRL-targeted proteins, some of which have established roles in DDR. This review will summarize the current knowledge on the role of the CSN and neddylation in DNA repair.

Abstract
Neddylation is a post-translational protein modification that conjugates a ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to target proteins. Similar to ubiquitination, neddylation is mediated by a cascade of three NEDD8 specific enzymes, an E1 activating enzyme, an E2 conjugating enzyme and one of the several E3 ligases. Neddylation is countered by the action of deneddylases via a process termed deneddylation. By altering the substrate's conformation, stability, subcellular localization or binding affinity to DNA or proteins, neddylation regulates diverse cellular processes including the ubiquitin-proteasome system-mediated protein degradation, protein transcription, cell signaling etc. Dysregulation of neddylation has been linked to cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and more recently, cardiac disease. Here we comprehensively overview the biochemistry, the proteome and the biological function of neddylation. We also summarize the recent progress in revealing the physiological and pathological role of neddylation and deneddylation in the heart.
