Abstract
Since it was first described >20 yr ago, the SPOC domain (Spen paralog and ortholog C-terminal domain) has been identified in many proteins all across eukaryotic species. SPOC-containing proteins regulate gene expression on various levels ranging from transcription to RNA processing, modification, export, and stability, as well as X-chromosome inactivation. Their manifold roles in controlling transcriptional output implicate them in a plethora of developmental processes, and their misregulation is often associated with cancer. Here, we provide an overview of the biophysical properties of the SPOC domain and its interaction with phosphorylated binding partners, the phylogenetic origin of SPOC domain proteins, the diverse functions of mammalian SPOC proteins and their homologs, the mechanisms by which they regulate differentiation and development, and their roles in cancer.

Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12082216. [PMID: 32784800 PMCID: PMC7464941 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12082216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Since the discovery of spliceosome mutations in myeloid malignancies, abnormal pre-mRNA splicing, which has been well studied in various cancers, has attracted novel interest in hematology. However, despite the common occurrence of spliceosome mutations in myelo-proliferative neoplasms (MPN), not much is known regarding the characterization and mechanisms of splicing anomalies in MPN. In this article, we review the current scientific literature regarding “splicing and myeloproliferative neoplasms”. We first analyse the clinical series reporting spliceosome mutations in MPN and their clinical correlates. We then present the current knowledge about molecular mechanisms by which these mutations participate in the pathogenesis of MPN or other myeloid malignancies. Beside spliceosome mutations, splicing anomalies have been described in myeloproliferative neoplasms, as well as in acute myeloid leukemias, a dreadful complication of these chronic diseases. Based on splicing anomalies reported in chronic myelogenous leukemia as well as in acute leukemia, and the mechanisms presiding splicing deregulation, we propose that abnormal splicing plays a major role in the evolution of myeloproliferative neoplasms and may be the target of specific therapeutic strategies.

Dido3-dependent SFPQ recruitment maintains efficiency in mammalian alternative splicing. Nucleic Acids Res 2019; 47:5381-5394. [PMID: 30931476 PMCID: PMC6547428 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkz235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Revised: 03/19/2019] [Accepted: 03/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Alternative splicing is facilitated by accessory proteins that guide spliceosome subunits to the primary transcript. Many of these splicing factors recognize the RNA polymerase II tail, but SFPQ is a notable exception even though essential for mammalian RNA processing. This study reveals a novel role for Dido3, one of three Dido gene products, in alternative splicing. Binding of the Dido3 amino terminus to histones and to the polymerase jaw domain was previously reported, and here we show interaction between its carboxy terminus and SFPQ. We generated a mutant that eliminates Dido3 but preserves other Dido gene products, mimicking reduced Dido3 levels in myeloid neoplasms. Dido mutation suppressed SFPQ binding to RNA and increased skipping for a large group of exons. Exons bearing recognition sequences for alternative splicing factors were nonetheless included more efficiently. Reduced SFPQ recruitment may thus account for increased skipping of SFPQ-dependent exons, but could also generate a splicing factor surplus that becomes available to competing splice sites. Taken together, our data indicate that Dido3 is an adaptor that controls SFPQ utilization in RNA splicing. Distributing splicing factor recruitment over parallel pathways provides mammals with a simple mechanism to regulate exon usage while maintaining RNA splicing efficiency.

Systematization of analytical studies of polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis, and a meta-analysis of the frequency of JAK2, CALR and MPL mutations: 2000-2018. BMC Cancer 2019; 19:590. [PMID: 31208359 PMCID: PMC6580484 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-019-5764-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2018] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research into Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms is heterogeneous. In addition, no systematization of studies of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) or primary myelofibrosis (PMF) have been carried out. The objective of this review is to characterize studies on BCR-ABL1-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and to compare the frequency of JAK2, MPL and CALR mutations in PV, ET and PMF. METHOD A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted, as was meta-analysis with an ex-ante selection of protocol, according to phases of the PRISMA guide in three interdisciplinary databases. To guarantee reproducibility in the pursuit and retrieval of information, the reproducibility and methodological quality of the studies were evaluated by two researchers. RESULTS Fifty-two studies were included, the majority having been carried out in the United States, China, Brazil and Europe. The frequency of the JAK2V617F mutation ranged from 46.7 to 100% in patients with PV, from 31.3 to 72.1% in patients with ET, and from 25.0 to 85.7% in those with PMF. The frequency of the MPL mutation was 0% in PV, from 0.9 to 12.5% in ET, and from 0 to 17.1% in PMF. The CALR mutation occurred at a frequency of 0.0% in PV, whereas in ET, it ranged from 12.6 to 50%, and in PMF, it ranged from 10 to 100%. The risk of this mutation presenting in PV is 3.0 times that found for ET and 4.0 times that found for PMF. CONCLUSION Given the specificity and reported high frequencies of the JAK2V617F, MPL and CALR mutations in this group of neoplasms, the diagnosis of these diseases should not be made on clinical and hematological characteristics alone but should include genetic screening of patients.

DIDO as a Switchboard that Regulates Self-Renewal and Differentiation in Embryonic Stem Cells. Stem Cell Reports 2017; 8:1062-1075.

Abstract
Transition from symmetric to asymmetric cell division requires precise coordination of differential gene expression. We show that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) mainly express DIDO3 and that their differentiation after leukemia inhibitory factor withdrawal requires DIDO1 expression. C-terminal truncation of DIDO3 (Dido3ΔCT) impedes ESC differentiation while retaining self-renewal; small hairpin RNA-Dido1 ESCs have the same phenotype. Dido3ΔCT ESC differentiation is rescued by ectopic expression of DIDO3, which binds the Dido locus via H3K4me3 and RNA POL II and induces DIDO1 expression. DIDO1, which is exported to cytoplasm, associates with, and is N-terminally phosphorylated by PKCiota. It binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase WWP2, which contributes to cell fate by OCT4 degradation, to allow expression of primitive endoderm (PE) markers. PE formation also depends on phosphorylated DIDO3 localization to centrosomes, which ensures their correct positioning for PE cell polarization. We propose that DIDO isoforms act as a switchboard that regulates genetic programs for ESC transition from pluripotency maintenance to promotion of differentiation. DIDO3 regulates DIDO1 expression Cytoplasmic DIDO1 promotes cell fate DIDO3 regulates centrosome position DIDO1 and DIDO3 are phosphorylated by PKCiota
