Description
The pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG1) is a recently discovered oncogene implicated in the malignant progression of a number of neoplasms. It has been shown to drive both endocrine and non-endocrine malignancies, but has not yet been studied in the context of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Clear cell RCC (ccRCC) is cytogenetically characterized by deletion of chromosome 3p, harboring the von-Hippel Lindau tumor suppressor gene, and amplification of chromosome 5q. The significance of copy number gain of chromosome 5 is not clear, but is presumed to be the location of oncogenes that influence ccRCC development or progression. The PTTG1 oncogene maps to chromosome 5q, and here we show that PTTG1 is amplified in clear cell RCC, is overexpressed in tumor tissue relative to adjacent normal kidney, and expression is associated with high grade, high stage, and poor prognosis. Furthermore, we establish a functional role for PTTG1 in ccRCC tumorigenesis and progression. PTTG1 ablation reduces both the tumorigenic ability of ccRCC cells in vitro and in vivo and the invasive ability of these cells in vitro. An analysis of genes whose transcription is regulated by PTTG1 was supportive of an association with invasive and metastatic disease. PTTG1-dependent expression of the Rho-GEF ECT2, another proto-oncogene, is observed in a number of ccRCC cell lines, and ECT2 expression correlates with PTTG1 expression, high stage, high grade, and poor prognosis ccRCC. As GEF's have been promoted as potential drug targets for targeted cancer therapeutics, the relationship between the PTTG1 and ECT2 oncogenes may be able to be exploited for the treatment of this disease.

Description
Anthocyanin induction in plant is considered a general defense response against biotic and abiotic stresses. The infection by Ustilago maydis, the corn smut pathogen, is accompanied with anthocyanin induction in leaf tissue. We revealed that anthocyanin is intentionally induced by the virulence promoting secreted effector protein Tin2. Tin2 protein functions inside plant cells where it interacts with cytoplasmic maize protein kinase ZmTTK1. Tin2 masks an ubiquitin-proteasome degradation motif in ZmTTK1 leading to a more stable active kinase. Active ZmTTK1 controls transcriptional activation of genes in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway rerouting phenylalanine away from lignin biosynthesis.

Description
PcG protein complex PRC2 is a methyltransferase specific for histone H3 lysine27, and H3K27me3 is essential for stable transcription silencing. Less well known but quantitatively much more important is the genome-wide role of PRC2 that dimethylates ~70% of total H3K27. Here we show that H3K27me2 occurs in inverse proportion to transcriptional activity in genes and intergenic regions and its loss results in global transcriptional derepression proportionally greatest in previously silent or weakly transcribed regions. H3K27me2 levels are controlled by opposing roaming activities of PRC2 and the H3K27 demethylase dUTX. Unexpectedly, we find an equally pervasive distribution of histone H2A ubiquitylated at lysine 118 (H2AK118ub), attributed to the RING1 subunit of PRC1-type complexes.

Description
We and others have previously observed that adipocytes and preadipocytes taken from different adipose tissue depots are characterized by differential expression of developmental and patterning genes (Dankel et al., 2010; Ferrer-Lorente et al., 2014; Gesta et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2017a; Lee et al., 2013; Macotela et al., 2012; Tchkonia et al., 2007; Yamamoto et al., 2010). To investigate how adipocyte heterogeneity and differences in the expression of developmental genes might impact the biology of adipocytes and preadipocytes, we created preadipocyte cell lines from the stromovascular fraction (SVF) isolated from the scapular white, inguinal, perigonadal, perirenal, and mesenteric fat pads of 6-week old male Immortomouse (Jat et al., 1991).During routine culture of the subcutaneous and visceral/perigonadal clonal cell lines, we observed extreme variation in media acidification rates that was unrelated to the fat pad of origin, the differentiation capacity of the cells, or the rate of their proliferation, suggesting metabolic heterogeneity. To further investigate this possibility, 24 clonal cell lines (12 each from subcutaneous and perigonadal fat) were selected based on variable media acidification rates, and their mRNA expression pattern determined by microarray analysis. The expression data was clustered using three different algorythms, and the consensus was used to categorize each type of adipose tissue.
