Abstract
Although androgen-deprivation treatment (ADT) is the main treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa), it eventually fails. This failure invariably leads to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and the development of the neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype. The molecular basis for PCa progression remains unclear. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that the sex-determining region Y-box 4 (SOX4) gene, a critical developmental transcription factor, is overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in PCa patients. In this study, we show that SOX4 expression is associated with PCa progression and the development of the NE phenotype in androgen deprivation conditions. High-throughput microRNA profiling and bioinformatics analyses suggest that SOX4 may target the miR-17-92 cluster. SOX4 transcriptionally upregulates miR-17-92 cluster expression in PCa cells. SOX4-induced PCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion are also mediated by miR-17-92 cluster members. Furthermore, RB1 is a target gene of miR-17-92 cluster. We found that SOX4 downregulates RB1 protein expression by upregulating the miR-17-92 expression. In addition, SOX4-knockdown restrains NE phenotype and PCa cell proliferation. Clinically, the overexpression of miR-17-92 members is shown to be positively correlated with SOX4 expression in PCa patients, whereas RB1 expression is negatively correlated with SOX4 expression in patients with the aggressive PCa phenotype. Collectively, we propose a novel model of a SOX4/miR-17-92/RB1 axis that may exist to promote PCa progression.

Gankyrin Drives Malignant Transformation of Gastric Cancer and Alleviates Oxidative Stress via mTORC1 Activation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:9480316. [PMID: 30420909 PMCID: PMC6215549 DOI: 10.1155/2018/9480316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2018] [Revised: 08/13/2018] [Accepted: 08/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Gastric cancer, as a malignant epithelial tumor, is a major health threat leading to poor overall survival and death. It is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage due to asymptomatic or only nonspecific early symptoms. The present study demonstrated that gankyrin contributes to the early malignant transformation of gastric cancer and can be selected to predict the risk of gastric cancer in those patients harboring the precancerous lesions (dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia). In addition, a new insight into gastric cancer was provided, which stated that gankyrin alleviates oxidative stress via mTORC1 pathway activation. It can potentiate the mTORC1 by PGK1-AKT signaling that promotes the tumor process, and this phenomenon is not completely consistent with the previous report describing colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Expression of antibody fragments in mammalian cells (intrabodies) is used to probe the target protein or interfere with its biological function. We previously described the in vitro characterisation of a single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragment (F5) isolated from an intrabody library that binds to the oncoprotein gankyrin (GK) in solution. Here, we have isolated several other scFvs that interact with GK in the presence of F5 and tested whether they allow, when fused to fluorescent proteins, to detect by FRET endogenous GK in living cells. The binding of pairs of scFvs to GK was analysed by gel filtration and the ability of each scFv to mediate nuclear import/export of GK was determined. Binding between scFv-EGFP and RFP-labelled GK in living cells was detected by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). After co-transfection of two scFvs fused to EGFP and RFP, respectively, which form a tri-molecular complex with GK in vitro, FRET signal was measured. This system allowed us to observe that GK is monomeric and distributed throughout the cytoplasm and nucleus of several cancer cell lines. Our results show that pairs of fluorescently labelled intrabodies can be monitored by FLIM-FRET microscopy and that this technique allows the detection of lowly expressed endogenous proteins in single living cells.

Abstract
Gankyrin, a newly defined oncoprotein also known as PSMD10 and P28, functions as a dual-negative regulator of the two most prominent tumor suppressor pathways, the CDK/pRb and HDM2/P53 pathways. Its aberrant expression has been prevalently found in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and esophagus squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC), indicative of the potential of gankyrin as a rational diagnostic and therapeutic target in cancers. Here, we review the unique structural features and functional diversity of gankyrin, and discuss its implication in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics from the perspective of chemical biology.

Abstract
To elucidate the possible involvement of gankyrin in ESCC progression and the effect of its down-regulation in ESCC, we investigated the expression of gankyrin in ESCC tissues comparing it with the corresponding normal esophageal epithelia and tested a short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vector for gankyrin in ESCC cell lines. Gankyrin protein expression in 11 ESCC cell lines (KYSE series) was examined by RT-PCR and western blot. The expression of gankyrin mRNA in 30 ESCC tissues was compared with the corresponding normal epithelia by Real-time PCR. Expression of gankyrin protein was immunohistochemically analyzed in the ESCC of 103 patients. A gankyrin-shRNA vector was stably transfected into KYSE 170 cells to assess the role of gankyrin in cell motility, invasion and proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. Gankyrin expression increased in all 11 ESCC cell lines. Real-time PCR revealed that gankyrin expression was higher in the cancerous tissue for all 30 patients. In immunohistochemistry, gankyrin overexpression was correlated with lower survival rate (p = 0.0001), extent of the primary tumor, lymph node metastasis, distant lymph node metastasis and stage (p = 0.0072, p = 0.0004, p = 0.0172 and p = 0.0002, respectively). A shRNA vector against gankyrin repressed growth, cell motility, invasiveness in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. Gankyrin overexpression is associated with poor prognosis. It may play an important role in ESCC tumor progression and could be a potentially important therapeutic gene target in ESCC.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions usually involve a large number of residues; thus it is difficult to elucidate functional and structural roles of specific residues located in the interface. This problem is particularly challenging for ankyrin repeat proteins (ARs), which consist of linear arrays of small repeating units and play critical roles in almost every life process via protein-protein interactions, because the residues involved are discontinuously dispersed in both the ARs and their partners. Our previous studies showed that while both specific CDK4 inhibitor p16INK4A (P16) and gankyrin bind to cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) in similar fashion, only P16 inhibits the kinase activity of CDK4. While this could explain why P16 is a tumor suppressor and gankyrin is oncogenic, the structural basis of these contrasting properties was unknown. Here we show that a double mutant of gankyrin, L62H/I79D, inhibits the kinase activity of CDK4, similar to P16, and such CDK4-inhibtory activity is associated with the I79D but not L62H mutation. In addition, mutations at I79 and L62 bring about a moderate decrease in the stability of gankyrin. Further structural and biophysical analyses suggest that the substitution of Ile79 with Asp leads to local conformational changes in loops I-III of gankyrin. Taken together, our results allow the dissection of the "protein-protein binding" and "CDK4 inhibition" functions of P16, show that the difference between tumor suppressing and oncogenic functions of P16 and gankyrin, respectively, mainly resides in a single residue, and provide structural insight to the contrasting biological functions of the two AR proteins.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome-dependent protein degradation is an evolutionarily conserved process. The mammalian oncoprotein gankyrin, which associates with S6 of the proteasome, facilitates the degradation of pRb, and thus possibly acts as a bridging factor between the proteasome and its substrates. However, the mechanism of the proteasome-dependent protein degradation in yeast is poorly understood. Here, we report the tertiary structure of the complex between Nas6 and a C-terminal domain of Rpt3, which are the yeast orthologues of gankyrin and S6, respectively. The concave region of Nas6 bound to the alpha-helical domain of Rpt3. The stable interaction between Nas6 and Rpt3 was mediated by intermolecular interactions composed of complementary charged patches. The recognition of Rpt3 by Nas6 in the crystal suggests that Nas6 is indeed a subunit of the 26S proteasome. These results provide a structural basis for the association between Nas6 and the heterohexameric ATPase ring of the proteasome through Rpt3.

Abstract
Gankyrin is an oncoprotein commonly overexpressed in most hepatocellular carcinomas. Gankyrin interacts with S6 ATPase of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome and enhances the degradation of the tumor suppressors pRb and p53. Here, we report the structure of gankyrin in complex with the C-terminal domain of S6 ATPase. Almost all of the seven ankyrin repeats of gankyrin interact, through its concave region, with the C-terminal domain of S6 ATPase. The intermolecular interactions occur through the complementary charged residues between gankyrin and S6 ATPase. Biochemical studies based on the structure of the complex revealed that gankyrin interacts with pRb in both the presence and absence of S6 ATPase; however, the E182 residue in gankyrin is essential for the pRb interaction. These results provide a structural basis for the involvement of gankyrin in the pRb degradation pathway, through its association with S6 ATPase of the 26S proteasome.

Abstract
TRPV channels are important polymodal integrators of noxious stimuli mediating thermosensation and nociception. An ankyrin repeat domain (ARD), which is a common protein-protein recognition domain, is conserved in the N-terminal intracellular domain of all TRPV channels and predicted to contain three to four ankyrin repeats. Here we report the first structure from the TRPV channel subfamily, a 1.7 A resolution crystal structure of the human TRPV2 ARD. Our crystal structure reveals a six ankyrin repeat stack with multiple insertions in each repeat generating several unique features compared with a canonical ARD. The surface typically used for ligand recognition, the ankyrin groove, contains extended loops with an exposed hydrophobic patch and a prominent kink resulting from a large rotational shift of the last two repeats. The TRPV2 ARD provides the first structural insight into a domain that coordinates nociceptive sensory transduction and is likely to be a prototype for other TRPV channel ARDs.

Abstract
Vaccinia virus (VV) K1L is a host-range gene and encodes a protein comprised of six ankyrin repeats (ANKs). We showed here that a large portion of the K1L protein, except ankyrin repeat 1 (ANK1) and C-terminal halves of ANK2 and ANK3, can be deleted or substituted with an unrelated ANK with no adverse effect on VV replication in human HeLa cells. In contrast, only ANK4 and ANK6 can be mutated without impairing VV replication in rabbit RK13 cells. The growth rate of VV in HeLa cells was reduced differentially by substituting phenylalanine 82 or serine 83 of ANK2 and abolished completely by substituting both residues. These substitutions, however, did not affect K1L's ability to bind ACAP2, a GTPase-activating protein for ARF6. Our data support the hypothesis that surface residues of a few consecutive K1L ANKs mediate the host-range function by interacting with protein factors that are distinct from ACAP2.
