  • microtubule assembly by the APC protein is regulated by importin β rangtp
    Journal of Cell Science, 2010
    Co-Authors: Dina Dikovskaya, Ian P. Newton, Iain Davidson, James R. A. Hutchins, Petr Kalab, Paul R. Clarke, Inke S. Näthke
    Abstract:

    Mutations in the tumour suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) initiate most sporadic colorectal cancers. APC is implicated in regulating microtubule (MT) dynamics in interphase and mitosis. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism or regulation of this APC function. We identified importin-β as a binding partner of APC that regulates its effect on MTs. APC binds importin-β in vitro and in Xenopus egg extracts, and RanGTP inhibits this interaction. The armadillo-like repeat domain of importin-β binds to the middle of APC, where it can compete with β-catenin. In addition, two independent sites in the C terminus of APC bind the N-terminal region of importin-β. Binding to importin-β reduces the ability of APC to assemble and bundle MTs in vitro and to promote assembly of microtubule asters in Xenopus egg extracts, but does not affect the binding of APC to MTs or to EB1. Depletion of APC decreases the formation of cold-stable spindles in Xenopus egg extracts. Importantly, the ability of purified APC to rescue this phenotype was reduced when it was constitutively bound to importin-β. Thus, importin-β binds to APC and negatively regulates the MT-assembly and spindle-promoting activity of APC in a Ran-regulatable manner.

  • Novel self-association of the APC molecule affects APC clusters and cell migration.
    Journal of cell science, 2008
    Co-Authors: Karin Kroboth, Ian P. Newton, Inke S. Näthke
    Abstract:

    Truncation mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are responsible for familial and sporadic colorectal cancer. APC is a multifunctional protein involved in cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. The APC protein forms specific clusters in the cell periphery that correlate with sites of active cell migration. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that govern these clusters. Here, we identify a novel interaction of an N-terminal region of APC with the extreme C-terminal 300 amino acids of APC and also with itself. The latter interaction is phospho-sensitive and is enhanced by 14-3-3 (YWHA) protein. These interactions modulate the clustering of APC at the ends of membrane protrusions. Overexpressing this domain or inhibiting 14-3-3 proteins disperses APC clusters and leads to decreased cell migration. Moreover, deleting this domain from full-length APC results in less-dynamic clusters compared with wild-type APC. Our data indicate that this newly identified regions in the N-terminal third of APC contributes to the regulation of APC clusters, thus providing a molecular clue for how locally regulated phosphorylation events could mediate the dynamics of APC clusters and contribute to cell migration.

  • identification of high risk plaques destined to cause acute coronary syndrome using coronary computed tomographic angiography and computational fluid dynamics
    Jacc-cardiovascular Imaging, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gilwoo Choi, Doyeon Hwang, Jonghanne Park, Jinlong Zhang, Yaliang Tong, Leo Grady, Eunseok Shin, Su Yeon Choi, Eun Ju Chun, Jinho Choi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives The authors investigated the utility of noninvasive hemodynamic assessment in the identification of high-risk plaques that caused subsequent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Background ACS is a critical event that impacts the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease. However, the role of hemodynamic factors in the development of ACS is not well-known. Methods Seventy-two patients with clearly documented ACS and available coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) acquired between 1 month and 2 years before the development of ACS were included. In 66 culprit and 150 nonculprit lesions as a case-control design, the presence of adverse plaque characteristics (APC) was assessed and hemodynamic parameters (fractional flow reserve derived by coronary computed tomographic angiography [FFRCT], change in FFRCT across the lesion [△FFRCT], wall shear stress [WSS], and axial plaque stress) were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics. The best cut-off values for FFRCT, △FFRCT, WSS, and axial plaque stress were used to define the presence of adverse hemodynamic characteristics (AHC). The incremental discriminant and reclassification abilities for ACS prediction were compared among 3 models (model 1: percent diameter stenosis [%DS] and lesion length, model 2: model 1 + APC, and model 3: model 2 + AHC). Results The culprit lesions showed higher %DS (55.5 ± 15.4% vs. 43.1 ± 15.0%; p  Conclusions Noninvasive hemodynamic assessment enhanced the identification of high-risk plaques that subsequently caused ACS. The integration of noninvasive hemodynamic assessments may improve the identification of culprit lesions for future ACS.
