Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) bind DNA at specific sequences to regulate gene expression. This universal process is achieved via their DNA-binding domain (DBD). In mammals, the vast diversity of DBD structural conformations and the way in which they contact DNA has been used to organize TFs in the TFClass hierarchical classification. However, the numerous DBD types present in plants but absent from mammalian genomes were missing from this classification. We reviewed DBD 3D structures and models available for plant TFs to classify most of the 56 recognized plant TF types within the TFClass framework. This extended classification adds eight new classes and 37 new families corresponding to DBD structures absent in mammals. Plant-TFClass provides a unique resource for TF comparison across families and organisms.

Abstract
In angiosperms, flower development requires the combined action of the transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) and the ubiquitin ligase adaptor F-box protein, UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO), but the molecular mechanism underlying this synergy has remained unknown. Here we show in transient assays and stable transgenic plants that the connection to ubiquitination pathways suggested by the UFO F-box domain is mostly dispensable. On the basis of biochemical and genome-wide studies, we establish that UFO instead acts by forming an active transcriptional complex with LFY at newly discovered regulatory elements. Structural characterization of the LFY-UFO-DNA complex by cryo-electron microscopy further demonstrates that UFO performs this function by directly interacting with both LFY and DNA. Finally, we propose that this complex might have a deep evolutionary origin, largely predating flowering plants. This work reveals a unique mechanism of an F-box protein directly modulating the DNA binding specificity of a master transcription factor.

Abstract
JASPAR (http://jaspar.genereg.net/) is an open-access database containing manually curated, non-redundant transcription factor (TF) binding profiles for TFs across six taxonomic groups. In this 9th release, we expanded the CORE collection with 341 new profiles (148 for plants, 101 for vertebrates, 85 for urochordates, and 7 for insects), which corresponds to a 19% expansion over the previous release. We added 298 new profiles to the Unvalidated collection when no orthogonal evidence was found in the literature. All the profiles were clustered to provide familial binding profiles for each taxonomic group. Moreover, we revised the structural classification of DNA binding domains to consider plant-specific TFs. This release introduces word clouds to represent the scientific knowledge associated with each TF. We updated the genome tracks of TFBSs predicted with JASPAR profiles in eight organisms; the human and mouse TFBS predictions can be visualized as native tracks in the UCSC Genome Browser. Finally, we provide a new tool to perform JASPAR TFBS enrichment analysis in user-provided genomic regions. All the data is accessible through the JASPAR website, its associated RESTful API, the R/Bioconductor data package, and a new Python package, pyJASPAR, that facilitates serverless access to the data.

Abstract
Pioneer transcription factors (TFs) are a special category of TFs with the capacity to bind to closed chromatin regions in which DNA is wrapped around histones and may be highly methylated. Subsequently, pioneer TFs are able to modify the chromatin state to initiate gene expression. In plants, LEAFY (LFY) is a master floral regulator and has been suggested to act as a pioneer TF in Arabidopsis. Here, we demonstrate that LFY is able to bind both methylated and non-methylated DNA using a combination of in vitro genome-wide binding experiments and structural modeling. Comparisons between regions bound by LFY in vivo and chromatin accessibility data suggest that a subset of LFY bound regions is occupied by nucleosomes. We confirm that LFY is able to bind nucleosomal DNA in vitro using reconstituted nucleosomes. Finally, we show that constitutive LFY expression in seedling tissues is sufficient to induce chromatin accessibility in the LFY direct target genes APETALA1 and AGAMOUS. Taken together, our study suggests that LFY possesses key pioneer TF features that contribute to launching the floral gene expression program.

Abstract
Glioblastomas (GBM) are lethal primitive brain tumours characterized by a strong intra-tumour heterogeneity. We observed in GBM tissues the coexistence of functionally divergent micro-territories either enriched in more differentiated and non-mitotic cells or in mitotic undifferentiated OLIG2 positive cells while sharing similar genomic abnormalities. Understanding the formation of such functionally divergent micro-territories in glioblastomas (GBM) is essential to comprehend GBM biogenesis, plasticity and to develop therapies. Here we report an unexpected anti-proliferative role of beta-catenin in non-mitotic differentiated GBM cells. By cell type specific stimulation of miR-302, which directly represses cyclin D1 and stemness features, beta-catenin is capable to change its known proliferative function. Nuclear beta-catenin accumulation in non-mitotic cells is due to a feed forward mechanism between DOCK4 and beta-catenin, allowed by increased GSK3-beta activity. DOCK4 over expression suppresses selfrenewal and tumorigenicity of GBM stem-like cells. Accordingly in the frame of GBM median of survival, increased level of DOCK4 predicts improved patient survival.

Abstract
The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) class of transcription factors is unique to plants. HD-Zip proteins bind to DNA exclusively as dimers recognizing dyad symmetric sequences and act as positive or negative regulators of gene expression. On the basis of sequence homology in the HD-Zip DNA-binding domain, HD-Zip proteins have been grouped into four families (HD-Zip I-IV). Each HD-Zip family can be further divided into subfamilies containing paralogous genes that have arisen through genome duplication. Remarkably, all the members of the HD-Zip IIγ and -δ clades are regulated by light quality changes that induce in the majority of the angiosperms the shade-avoidance response, a process regulated at multiple levels by auxin. Intriguingly, it has recently emerged that, apart from their function in shade avoidance, the HD-Zip IIγ and -δ transcription factors control several auxin-regulated developmental processes, including apical embryo patterning, lateral organ polarity, and gynoecium development, in a white-light environment. This review presents recent advances in our understanding of HD-Zip II protein function in plant development, with particular emphasis on the impact of loss-of-function HD-Zip II mutations on auxin distribution and response. The review also describes evidence demonstrating that HD-Zip IIγ and -δ genes are directly and positively regulated by HD-Zip III transcription factors, primary determinants of apical shoot development, known to control the expression of several auxin biosynthesis, transport, and response genes. Finally, the interplay between HD-Zip II and III transcription factors in embryo apical patterning and organ polarity is discussed.

Abstract
After genotoxic stress, normal cells trigger DNA repair or, if unable to repair, undergo apoptosis to eradicate the cells that bear the risk of becoming tumorigenic. Here we show that repression of the transcription factor, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), after ultraviolet (UV)-mediated genotoxic stress impairs the DNA repair process. We provide evidence that ATF3 directly regulates the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-associated factor KIAA0101/p15(PAF). We further show that the expressions of ATF3 and p15(PAF) is sufficient to trigger the DNA repair machinery, and that attenuation of their expression alters DNA repair mechanisms. We show that the expression of p15(PAF) compensates for a lack of ATF3 expression, thereby constituting a major effector of ATF3 in the DNA repair process. In addition, we provide evidence that p15(PAF) expression is required for the correct function of PCNA during DNA repair, as prevention of their interaction significantly alters DNA repair mechanisms. Finally, defective DNA repair, because of the downregulation of p15(PAF) expression, rendered the cells more sensitive to UV-induced cell death. Therefore, our results suggest ATF3 and p15(PAF) as novel gatekeepers of genomic integrity after UV exposure.

Abstract
P27kip is a key inhibitory protein of the cell-cycle progression, which is rapidly downregulated in early G1 phase by a post-translational mechanism involving the proteosomal degradation. In this study, using a wounding model that induces cell-cycle entry of human dermal fibroblasts, we demonstrate that p27mRNA is downregulated when cells progress into the G1 phase, and then it returns to its basal level when cells approach the S phase. By using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction screening we identified inhibitors of differentiation (Id3), a bHLH transcriptional repressor, as a candidate mediator accounting for p27 mRNA decrease. Id3 silencing, using an small interfering RNA approach, reversed the injury mediated p27 downregulation demonstrating that Id3 is involved in the transcriptional repression of p27. Reporter gene experiments and a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that Id3 likely exerts its repressive action through ELK1 inhibition. By inhibiting early p27 downregulation, Id3 depletion blocked (i) the G1-phase progression as assessed by the inhibition of pRb phosphorylation and p130 degradation and (ii) the G1/S transition as observed by the inhibition of cyclin A induction, demonstrating that p27 mRNA decrease is required for cell proliferation. Apart from its effect on the early p27 diminution, Id3 appears also involved in the control of the steady-state level of p27 at the G1/S boundary. In conclusion, this study identifies a novel mechanism of p27 regulation which besides p27 protein degradation also implicates a transcriptional mechanism mediated by Id3.

Abstract
Regeneration of skeletal muscle upon injury is a complex process, involving activation of satellite cells, followed by migration, fusion, and regeneration of damaged myofibers. Previous work concerning the role of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathways in muscle injury comes primarily from studies using chemically induced wounding. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that physical injury to skeletal muscle cells in vitro activates the MAP kinase signaling pathways. We demonstrate that extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERKs) 1, 2, and p38 are rapidly and transiently activated in response to injury in C2C12 cells, and are primarily localized to cells adjacent to the wound bed. Culture medium from wounded cells is able to stimulate activation of p38 but not ERK in unwounded cells. These results suggest that both ERK and p38 are involved in the response of muscle cells to physical injury in culture, and reflect what is seen in whole tissues in vivo.

Abstract
In this study we show that the addition of fresh culture medium to high-density growth-arrested 7TD1 cells induces a strong and transient stimulation of the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase activity (Jun kinase/JNK), a marked increase in cyclin D2 expression, the phosphorylation of pRb, and the transition from G(1) to S phase. The stimulation of cyclin D2 expression and the induction of JNK activity appear to be the consequences of the alkalinization of the extracellular medium. Indeed both parameters (i) can be induced, regardless of cell dilution, by the addition of a weak base such as triethylamine, and (ii) are together inhibited by (N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. We provide a strong argument indicating the existence of a direct correlation between JNK1 activation and cyclin D2 stimulation. Indeed, we demonstrate that cyclin D2 expression is blocked by SB 202190, an agent known to inhibit both JNK and p38(MAPK), but not by SB 203580, a specific inhibitor of p38(MAPK). Furthermore, we also observed that DMSO and forskolin, two agents that inhibit the proliferation of 7TD1 cells, inhibit in parallel cyclin D2 and JNK1. Altogether our results suggest that (i) JNK1 participates in the signaling pathway which controls the expression of cyclin D2 and (ii) that the inhibition of JNK1 by DMSO and forskolin could explain, at least in part, the antiproliferative action of these drugs in 7TD1 cells.

Abstract
p27[KIP1] (p27) is a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, involved in the negative regulation of G1 progression in response to a number of anti-proliferative signals. In this study we show, in growing mouse hybridoma (7TD1) and human myeloma (U266) cell lines, that p27 is highly expressed but slightly upregulated when cells are arrested, regardless to the phases of the cell cycle. In contrast, the specific blockade of these cells in early G1 phase reveals the induction of a protein of 23 kDa (p23) specifically recognized by polyclonal anti-p27 antibodies raised against the NH2 terminal part of p27 but not by anti-p21[CIP1] antibodies. Experiments using caspase inhibitors strongly suggest that p23 results from the proteolysis of p27 by a 'caspase-3-like' protease. This cleavage leads to the cytosolic sequestration of p23 but does not alter its binding properties to CDK2 and CDK4 kinases. Indeed, p23 associated in vivo with high molecular weight complexes and coprecipitated with CDK2 and CDK4. We demonstrate by transfection experiments in SaOS-2 cells that p23 induces a G1 phase growth arrest by inhibition of cyclin/CDK2 activity. In summary we describe here a caspase-cleaved form of p27, induced in absence of detectable apoptosis and likely involved in cell cycle regulation.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was shown to inhibit the proliferation of several B cell lines including Raji, Daudi, and SKW6-CL4 but the mechanisms involved in this growth arrest are still unclear. We show that in 7TD1 mouse hybridoma cells a DMSO-induced reversible G1 arrest involves inactivation of Rb kinases, cyclin D2/CDK4 and cyclin E/CDK2. This occurs by at least three distinct mechanisms. Inhibition of cyclin D2 neosynthesis leads to a dramatic decrease of cyclinD2/CDK4 complexes. This in turn enables the redistribution of p27[KIP1] from cyclin D2/CDK4 to cyclin E/CDK2 complexes. In addition, the simultaneous accumulation of p21[CIP1] entails increasing association with cyclin D3/CDK4 and cyclin E/CDK2. Thus, p21[CIP1] and p27[KIP1], act in concert to inhibit cyclin E/CDK2 activity which, together with CDK4 inactivation, confers a G1-phase arrest.

Abstract
Eighteen patients aged between 55 and 65 and affected by respiratory insufficient were included in the study. Serum levels of PTH, total calcium, Ca++ and phosphorus were measured. Special attention was focused on PTH concentrations with in some case provedo to be above normal. Two hypotheses of pathogenesis are put forward. The first suggests that reduced Ca++ levels are responsible for anomalous PTH serum concentrations, whereas the second suggests that this role may be played by hypoxia. The latter would indirectly or directly affect parathyroids, either increasing PTH hyperincretion or slowing down the metabolism of the hormone by kidneys and liver which are in turn negatively affected by low blood oxygen tension.

Abstract
The expression of two G1-specific clones, p2A9 and p4F1, of two cell cycle-related oncogenes, c-myc and c-myb and of one S phase-specific gene, the H3 histone gene, was explored in 11 cases of acute myeloid leukemia. Both Northern blot analysis and in-situ hybridization were employed. Differential patterns of gene expression were observed. In 6 out of 11 cases a considerable or high expression of the p2A9 and p4F1 clones and of c-myc and c-myb oncogenes was observed. In 2 cases a high expression of c-myc was matched by low or absent expression of the other genes examined. In 3 cases the expression of 2A9, 4F1, c-myc and c-myb was very low or undetectable. In two of these cases a considerable expression of the H3 histone gene was observed.
