Abstract
Protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent 1B (PPM1B) functions as IKKβ phosphatases to terminate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. NF-κB signaling was constitutively activated in glioma cells. At present, little is known about the role of PPM1B in glioma. In the current study, we found that the expression of PPM1B was reduced in glioma tissues and cells, and decreased expression of PPM1B was related to poor overall survival of patients. Overexpression of PPM1B inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of glioma cells. Moreover, PPM1B overexpression reduced the phosphorylation of IKKβ and inhibited the nuclear localization of NF-κBp65. PDTC, an inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, reversed PPM1B-knockdown-induced cell proliferation. Furthermore, overexpression of PPM1B enhanced the sensitivity of glioma cells to temozolomide. In vivo experiments showed that overexpression of PPM1B could inhibit tumor growth, improve the survival rate of nude mice, and enhance the sensitivity to temozolomide. In conclusion, PPM1B suppressed glioma cell proliferation and the IKKβ-NF-κB signaling pathway, and enhanced temozolomide sensitivity of glioma cells.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in cancer incidence and mortality, and immune abnormalities have been closely linked to malignancy development. TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a non-classical IκB kinase that regulates interferon and NF-κB signaling pathways and plays a crucial role in innate immunity. Recent studies have shown high expression levels of TBK1 and increased activity in various tumor cells, suggesting its involvement in the development and progression of multiple cancers. Targeting TBK1 for tumor therapy may be a possibility. However, little is known about the abnormal activation and dynamic regulation of TBK1 in cancer. First, we utilized the BioID biotinylation technique combined with TMT-based quantitative proteomics to analyze the TBK1 interacting proteins. Our results revealed that TXLNA interacts with TBK1 and binds to the α-helical scaffold of TBK1. The expression of TXLNA could affect the S172 phosphorylation of TBK1. PPM1B is a phosphatase that can dephosphorylate TBK1 S172, so we used the APEX2 proximity labeling technique combined with TMT-based quantitative proteomics to explore the interacting proteins of PPM1B and search for the regulatory pathway of TXLNA on TBK1 phosphorylation. We found that PPM1B interacts with TXLNA. Based on these results, we further found that TXLNA impairs the binding of PPM1B to TBK1, inhibiting the dephosphorylation of TBK1 and contributing to the abnormal enhancement of TBK1 activity in cancer cells. This study sheds light on the potential mechanism of aberrant activation and dynamic regulation of TBK1 in tumors and provides a potential target for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is an important process responsible for protein turnover and cell survival in amino acid-deprived conditions, especially for leucine (Leu). With the dramatic advances in mass spectrometry, many new post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been identified. However, whether these PTMs regulate autophagy remains unclear. Here we found global lysine crotonylation levels are significantly upregulated during Leu deprivation-induced autophagy. A comprehensive crotonylome profiling showed that YWHA/14-3-3 proteins are significantly enriched in the Leu regulated-crotonylome. The inhibition of YWHAE/14-3-3ε crotonylation by mutating two crotonylated sites to arginine, K73R K78R, significantly attenuates autophagy induced by Leu deprivation. Molecular dynamics suggest that YWHAE K73 and K78 crotonylations decrease protein conformation and thermodynamic stability. Moreover, we found crotonylation of YWHAE releases PPM1B to dephosphorylate ULK1 and consequently activate autophagy. Decrotonylation of YWHAE is mediated by HDAC7 whose activity is inhibited significantly by Leu deprivation. Taken together, our finding reveals a critical role of YWHAE crotonylation in Leu deprivation-induced autophagy.

Circ_0090231 knockdown protects vascular smooth muscle cells from ox-LDL-induced proliferation, migration and invasion via miR-942-5p/ PPM1B axis during atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a dominant pathological basis of cardiovascular disease. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been proposed to have crucial functions in regulating pathological progressions of AS. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential function of circ_0090231 in AS progression. Oxidized low densitylipoprotein (ox-LDL)-challenged vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were used for in vitro functional analysis. Levels of genes and proteins were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The proliferation, migration and invasion were assessed using cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, and transwell assays. The interaction between miR-942-5p and circ_0090231 or PPM1B (Protein Phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ Dependent 1B) was evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter and pull-down assays. Circ_0090231 is a stable circRNA, and was increased in the serum of AS patients and ox-LDL-challenged VSMCs. Functionally, silencing of circ_0090231 could reverse ox-LDL-induced proliferation, migration and invasion in VSMCs. Mechanistically, circ_0090231 directly targeted miR-942-5p, and PPM1B was a target of miR-942-5p. Besides, circ_0090231 sequestered miR-942-5p to release PPM1B expression, suggesting the circ_0090231/miR-942-5p/PPM1B axis. Further rescue experiments showed that miR-942-5p inhibition or ectopic overexpression of PPM1B dramatically attenuated the suppressing influences of circ_0090231 knockdown on VSMC proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities under ox-LDL treatment. Silencing of circ_0090231 could reverse ox-LDL-induced proliferation, migration and invasion in VSMCs via miR-942-5p/PPM1B axis, providing a theoretical basis for elucidating the mechanism of AS process.

Abstract
Reversible phosphorylation of proteins is an important mechanism that regulates cellular processes, which are precisely regulated by protein kinases and phosphatases. PPM1B is a metal ion-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase, which regulates multiple biological functions by targeting substrate dephosphorylation, such as cell cycle, energy metabolism, inflammatory responses. In this review, we summarized the occurrent understandings of PPM1B focused on its regulation of signaling pathways, related diseases, and small-molecular inhibitors, which may provide new insights for the identification of PPM1B inhibitors and the treatment of PPM1B-related diseases.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation as a protein post-translational modification regulates diverse cellular processes and functions. However, the role of crotonylation in nutrient signaling pathways remains unclear. Here, we find a positive correlation between global crotonylation levels and leucine-deprivation-induced autophagy. Crotonylome profiling identifies many crotonylated proteins regulated by leucine deprivation. Bioinformatics analysis dominates 14-3-3 proteins in leucine-mediated crotonylome. Expression of 14-3-3ε crotonylation-deficient mutant significantly inhibits leucine-deprivation-induced autophagy. Molecular dynamics analysis shows that crotonylation increases molecular instability and disrupts the 14-3-3ε amphipathic pocket through which 14-3-3ε interacts with binding partners. Leucine-deprivation-induced 14-3-3ε crotonylation leads to the release of protein phosphatase 1B (PPM1B) from 14-3-3ε interaction. Active PPM1B dephosphorylates ULK1 and subsequently initiates autophagy. We further find that 14-3-3ε crotonylation is regulated by HDAC7. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that the 14-3-3ε-PPM1B axis regulated by crotonylation may play a vital role in leucine-deprivation-induced autophagy.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is one of the most important pathogens that causes chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens. Exosomes secreted from cells have been well demonstrated to deliver miRNAs to recipient cells to modulate cellular functions. The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying functions and mechanisms of exosomal miR-181a-5p in MG-HS infection. In this study, we found that miR-181a-5p expression in vivo and in vitro was significantly up-regulated after MG-HS infection. It was also upregulated in exosomes, which were derived from MG-HS-infected type-II pneumocytes cells (CP-II). In addition, exosomes secreted by MG-HS-infected CP-II were able to transfer miR-181a-5p to recipient chicken embryo fibroblast cells (DF-1), resulting in a significant upregulation of miR-181a-5p expression in recipient DF-1 cells. We further identified that Mg2+/Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase 1B (PPM1B) was the target gene of miR-181a-5p. Overexpression of miR-181a-5p or knockdown of PPM1B activated the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, whereas inhibition of miR-181a-5p and overexpression of PPM1B led to the opposite results. Besides, up-regulation of miR-181a-5p significantly increased the expression of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), tumor necrosis factors alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), whereas inhibition of miR-181a-5p showed a contrary result. Up-regulation of miR-181a-5p promoted cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and inhibited apoptosis to resist MG-HS infection. Moreover, overexpression of miR-181a-5p significantly negative regulated the expression of Mycoplasma gallisepticum adhesin protein (pMGA1.2) by directly inhibiting PPM1B. Thus, we concluded that exosomal miR-181a-5p from CP-II cells activated the TLR2-mediated MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways by directly targeting PPM1B to promote the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines for defending against MG-HS infection in recipient DF-1 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether TRIM59 regulates invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by targeting PPM1B. METHOD We analyzed the expression of TRIM59 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues based on data from TCGA database and detected the expressions of TRIM59 and PPM1B in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and adjacent tissues using Western blotting. We also detected the expressions of TRIM59 and PPM1B at both the mRNA and protein levels in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Stable cell lines with TRIM59 overexpression or knockdown were established in HNE1 cells, in which the targeting relationship between TRIM59 and PPM1B was analyzed using Western blotting and a luciferase reporter gene assay. Transwell chamber assay was used to assess changes in the invasion and migration abilities of HNE1 cells with TRIM59 overexpression or knockdown. RESULTS Analysis based on TCGA database showed that TRIM59 expression was significantly higher in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues than in adjacent tissues (P=0.006); the expression of TRIM59 increased (P=0.01) and PPM1B expression decreased significantly (P=0.03) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues. Compared with HNEpC cells, HNE1 cells expressed a significantly higher level of TRIM59 (P=0.04) but a lower level of PPM1B (P=0.01). Luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that PPM1B was a downstream target gene of TRIM59 and its expression was negatively correlated with TRIM59 expression (P=0.01). In HNE1 cells, TRIM59 overexpression significantly promoted cell invasion (P=0.01) and migration (P=0.02) while TRIM59 knockdown obviously suppressed cell invasion (P=0.01) and migration (P=0.01). TRIM59 knockdown with simultaneous PPM1B overexpression more strongly inhibited invasion (P=0.02) and migration (P=0.01) of HNE1 cells as compared with TRIM59 knockdown alone. CONCLUSION TRIM59 regulates invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells through targeted modulation of PPM1B.

Abstract
Down syndrome (DS) is mainly caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21), and patients display a variety of developmental symptoms, including characteristic facial features, physical growth delay, intellectual disability, and neurodegeneration (i.e., Alzheimer's disease; AD). One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is insoluble deposits of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) that consist of hyperphosphorylated tau. The human DYRK1A gene is mapped to chromosome 21, and the protein is associated with the formation of inclusion bodies in AD. For example, DYRK1A directly phosphorylates multiple serine and threonine residues of tau, including Thr212. However, the mechanism underpinning DYRK1A involvement in Trisomy 21-related pathological tau aggregation remains unknown. Here, we explored a novel regulatory mechanism of DYRK1A and subsequent tau pathology through a phosphatase. Using LC-MS/MS technology, we analyzed multiple DYRK1A-binding proteins, including PPM1B, a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases, in HEK293 cells. We found that PPM1B dephosphorylates DYRK1A at Ser258, contributing to the inhibition of DYRK1A activity. Moreover, PPM1B-mediated dephosphorylation of DYRK1A reduced tau phosphorylation at Thr212, leading to inhibition of toxic tau oligomerization and aggregation. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that DYRK1A autophosphorylates Ser258, the dephosphorylation target of PPM1B, and PPM1B negatively regulates DYRK1A activity. This finding also suggests that PPM1B reduces the toxic formation of phospho-tau protein via DYRK1A modulation, possibly providing a novel cellular protective mechanism to regulate toxic tau-mediated neuropathology in AD of DS.

Abstract
Protein phosphatase 1B (PPM1B), a member of metal-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase family, is involved in the regulation of several signalling pathways. However, our understanding of its substrate interaction and physiological functions is still largely limited. There is no reported PPM1B inhibitor to date. In this study, we identified HN252, a p-terphenyl derivative, as a potent PPM1B inhibitor (Ki = 0.52 ± 0.06 µM). HN252 binding to PPM1B displayed remarkable and specific inhibition of PPM1B in both in vitro and ex vivo. With the aid of this small molecular inhibitor, we identified 30 proteins' serine/threonine phosphorylation as potential substrates of PPM1B, 5 of which were demonstrated by immunoprecipitation, including one known (CDK2) and 4 novel ones (AKT1, HSP90B, β-catenin and BRCA1). Furthermore, GO and KEGG analysis of dramatically phosphorylated proteins by PPM1B inhibition indicated that PPM1B plays roles in the regulation of multiple cellular processes and signalling pathways, such as gene transcription, inflammatory regulation, ageing and tumorigenesis. Our work provides novel insights into further investigation of molecular mechanisms of PPM1B.

Abstract
Tripartite motif 59 (TRIM59) is a member of Tripartite motif protein family, which is frequently increased in many human cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of TRIM59 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we report that TRIM59 plays an essential role in growth of HCC. We analyzed RNA sequencing data to explore abnormally expressed TRIM59 in HCC. The effects of TRIM59 on HCC were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays (i.e., CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry assay, xenograft model, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and western blot). The mechanism of TRIM59 action was explored through co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. TRIM59 expression is up-regulated in HCC tissues. A high level of TRIM59 expression is correlated with poor overall and disease-free survival of HCC patients. Knockdown of TRIM59 attenuated proliferation, induced cells arrested at G1/S phase and reduced tumor growth in the mouse xenograft model. Ectopic expression of TRIM59 had the opposite results. Mechanistically, TRIM59 promoted growth and regulated cell cycle. Further studies indicated that TRIM59 might interacted physically with PPM1B, which has been reported to negatively regulate CDKs phosphorylation. We also discovered that TRIM59 increased degradation of PPM1B. TRIM59 overexpression in HCC patients correlated with reduced expression of PPM1B and increased CDKs phosphorylation and cell cycle proteins. Our findings demonstrate that TRIM59 promotes growth by PPM1B/CDKs signaling pathway, indicating a new prognostic biomarker candidate and a potential antitumor target for HCC.

Abstract
DCAF4L2 is a member of WD-repeat proteins, which commonly serve as mediators of protein-protein interplay. In this study, we reported that elevated DCAF4L2 expression in human colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly correlated with a more advanced clinical stage as in lymphatic and distant metastasis. More importantly, elevated DCAF4L2 expression is an independent prognosis factor for survival. Genetic perturbations demonstrated that DCAF4L2 overexpression in CRC cells promoted cell migration and invasion, whereas knockdown of which had opposing effects. Moreover we discovered that DCAF4L2 overexpression could promote epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) through activating NFκB signal pathway. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that DCAF4L2 could form an E3 ligase complex with Cul4A and DDB1 thus mediated degradation of PPM1B, which has been reported to negatively regulate NFκB signaling. We identified PPM1B as a substrate of Cul4A-DDB1-DCAF4L2 E3 ligase complex, as knockdown of PPM1B abrogated shDCAF4L2 mediated inhibition of cell invasion in CRC cells. For further verification, DCAF4L2 expression inversely correlated with PPM1B expression in a cohort of 87 CRC patients. These findings may provide insight into the understanding of DCAF4L2 as a novel critical factor and a candidate target for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Pax genes encode developmental regulatory proteins that specify cell lineages and tissues in metazoans. Upon binding to DNA through the conserved paired domain, Pax proteins can recruit both activating and repressing complexes that imprint distinct patterns of histone methylation associated with either gene activation or silencing. How the switch from Pax-mediated activation to repression is regulated remains poorly understood. In this report, we identify the phosphatase PPM1B as an essential component of the Groucho4 repressor complex that is recruited by Pax2 to chromatin. PPM1B can dephosphorylate the Pax2 activation domain and displace the adaptor protein PTIP, thus inhibiting H3K4 methylation and gene activation. Loss of PPM1B prevents Groucho-mediated gene repression. Thus, PPM1B helps switch Pax2 from a transcriptional activator to a repressor protein. This can have profound implications for developmental regulation by Pax proteins and suggests a model for imprinting specific epigenetic marks depending on the availability of co-factors.

Abstract
Lentiviruses provide highly efficient gene delivery vehicles in both dividing and non-dividing cells. Inducible gene expression systems often employ a specific cell line that constitutively expresses a regulatory protein for transgene expression. As one of such inducible expression systems the Tet-On system uses a cell line expressing reverse tetracycline-responsive transcriptional activator (rtTA). The rtTA protein binds to the tetracycline-responsive element (TRE) in the promoter and activates transcription of a transgene in a doxycycline-dependent manner. To establish a universal and instant regulatory system without generating Tet-On cell lines, the cDNAs of rtTA and a testing target gene (PPM1B) were cloned in the bi-directional TRE-containing promoters. Here, we examined whether a basal leaky expression of rtTA allows instantly inducible expression of both rtTA itself and the target gene, PPM1B in a single plasmid using the two mini-CMV promoters. Transient transfection of the lentiviral plasmids into human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells showed a significant induction of PPM1B expression in response to doxycycline, suggesting that these lentiviral plasmids can be used as an instantly inducible mammalian expression vector. However, the expression of rtTA by lentiviral transduction shows a minimal expression without a consistent response to doxycycline, suggesting that the utility of these lentiviral vectors is limited. A potential solution to overcome lentiviral transgene inactivation is proposed.
