Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), catalyzed mainly by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)1, is a key posttranslational modification involved in DNA replication and repair. Here, we report that TIMELESS (TIM), an essential scaffold of the replisome, is PARylated, which is linked to its proteolysis. TIM PARylation requires recognition of auto-modified PARP1 via two poly(ADP-ribose)-binding motifs, which primes TIM for proteasome-dependent degradation. Cells expressing the PARylation-refractory TIM mutant or under PARP inhibition accumulate TIM at DNA replication forks, causing replication stress and hyper-resection of stalled forks. Mechanistically, aberrant engagement of TIM with the replicative helicase impedes RAD51 loading and protection of reversed forks. Accordingly, defective TIM degradation hypersensitizes BRCA2-deficient cells to replication damage. Our study defines TIM as a substrate of PARP1 and elucidates how the control of replisome remodeling by PARylation is linked to stalled fork protection. Therefore, we propose a mechanism of PARP inhibition that impinges on the DNA replication fork instability caused by defective TIM turnover.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death worldwide, which is demonstrated with remarkable resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The identification of prognosis signature and novel prognostic markers will facilitate patient stratification and an individualized precision therapy strategy. In this study, TCGA-PAAD was used to screen prognostic E3 ubiquitin ligases and establish prognostic signatures, and GEO database was used to verify the accuracy of prognostic signatures. Functional analysis, in vitro experiments and clinical cohort studies were used to analyze the function and prognostic efficacy of the target gene. An E3 ligase-based signature of 9 genes and the nomogram were developed, and the signature was proved to accurately predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. WDR37 might be the most prognostic E3 ubiquitin ligase in pancreatic cancer, and the clinical cohort analyses suggested a tumor-suppressive role. The results of functional analysis and in vitro experiments indicated that WDR37 may promote the degradation of TCP1 complex to inhibit tumor and improve immune cell infiltration. The E3 ligase-based signature accurately predicted the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, so it can be used as a decision-making tool to guide the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. At the same time, WDR37, the main gene in E3PMP signature, can be used as the most prognostic E3 ubiquitin ligase in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The expression of circVPS13D was upregulated with SCRV invasion, which proved that circVPS13D was involved in the regulation of the antiviral immune response. Our study revealed that the existence of circVPS13D promoted the replication of SCRV. Functionally, circVPS13D negatively regulates the antiviral responses of fish. Mechanistically, we confirmed that circVPS13D inhibited RLRs antiviral signaling pathway via the encoded protein VPS13D-170aa by targeting MAVS. Our study provided novel insights into the roles of protein-coding circRNAs and supported VPS13D-170aa as a negative regulator in the antiviral immune responses of teleost fish.

Abstract
Introduction Decreased exercise tolerance is a common symptom in patients with heart failure, which is closely related to protein degradation and apoptosis regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome signaling (UPS) pathway. In this study, the effect of Chinese medicine, optimized new Shengmai powder, on exercise tolerance in rats with heart failure was investigated via the UPS pathway. Methods The heart failure model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery in rats, in which the sham-operated group was only threaded and not ligated. Rats (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%) were randomly divided into the following groups: model group, YHXSMS group, Benazepril group, and proteasome inhibitor Oprozomib group, and they were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage for 4 weeks. The cardiac function of rats was evaluated by performing an echocardiography examination and a hemodynamic test and the exercise tolerance was done by conducting an exhaustive swimming test. The mechanism was revealed by TUNEL detection, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence analysis, Western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR. Results The study showed that there was a decrease in cardiac function and exercise tolerance of rats in the model group and also destruction of cardiac and skeletal muscle fibers, a proliferation of collagen tissue, and an increment of apoptosis. Our study suggested that optimized new Shengmai powder could exert antiapoptotic effects on myocardial and skeletal muscle cells and improve myocardial contractility and exercise tolerance by inhibiting the overactivation of the UPS pathway, downregulating MAFbx, and Murf-1 overexpression, inhibiting the activation of the JNK signaling pathway, upregulating bcl-2 expression, and decreasing bax and caspase-3 levels. Conclusions The study showed that the optimized new Shengmai powder could improve cardiac function and exercise tolerance in rats with heart failure through the UPS pathway.

Abstract
The cytokine receptor-like factor 3 (Crlf3) belongs to the orphan class I cytokine receptors and is identified as a neuroprotective erythropoietin receptor. In previous studies of Crlf3, few focused on its role in innate immunity. Therefore, this study explored the regulatory role of Crlf3 in innate immunity. TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a vital adaptor protein for the activation of the RLRs-MVAS-IRF3 antiviral signaling axis; thus, its expression and activity must be tightly regulated to maintain immune homeostasis and avoid undesirable effects. Here, we report that Crlf3 is a negative regulator of type I interferon production. The expression of Crlf3 is induced by poly(I·C) or Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) treatment. Silencing of Crlf3 enhanced poly(I·C)- and SCRV-induced type I interferon production, whereas overexpression of Crlf3 suppressed type I interferon production. Mechanistically, Crlf3 interacted with TBK1 via its N domain and then inhibited type I interferon production by promoting TBK1 proteasomal degradation through K48-linked polyubiquitination. Our study shows that Crlf3 is a key factor for viral escape from innate antiviral immunity in fish and provides a new perspective on mammalian resistance to viral invasion. IMPORTANCE The expression of Crlf3 was upregulated with SCRV invasion, which proved that Crlf3 was involved in the regulation of the antiviral immune response. In this study, we found that the existence of Crlf3 promoted the replication of SCRV. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that SCRV evades innate immune attack with the assistance of Crlf3. In addition, we report that Crlf3 negatively regulates interferon (IFN) induction by promoting the degradation of TBK1 in fish. We showed that Crlf3 is evenly distributed in the cytoplasm and interacts with TBK1. Further studies showed that Crlf3 specifically mediates K48-linked ubiquitination of TBK1 and promotes TBK1 degradation, resulting in a marked inhibition of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) downstream signaling.

Abstract
Biodegraders are targeted protein degradation constructs composed of mini-proteins/peptides linked to E3 ligase receptors. We gained deeper insights into their utility by studying Con1-SPOP, a biodegrader against proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an oncology target. Con1-SPOP proved pharmacologically superior to its stoichiometric (non-degrading) inhibitor equivalent (Con1-SPOPmut) as it had more potent anti-proliferative effects and uniquely induced DNA damage, cell apoptosis, and necrosis. Proteomics showed that PCNA degradation gave impaired mitotic division and mitochondria dysfunction, effects not seen with the stoichiometric inhibitor. We further showed that doxycycline-induced Con1-SPOP achieved complete tumor growth inhibition in vivo. Intracellular delivery of mRNA encoding Con1-SPOP via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) depleted endogenous PCNA within hours of application with nanomolar potency. Our results demonstrate the utility of biodegraders as biological tools and highlight target degradation as a more efficacious approach versus stoichiometric inhibition. Once in vivo delivery is optimized, biodegraders may be leveraged as an exciting therapeutic modality.

Abstract
Background: Dysregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) can lead to instability in the cell cycle and may act as a crucial factor in both tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, there is no established prognostic signature based on UPS genes (UPSGs) for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) despite their value in other cancers. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a total of 703 LUAD patients through multivariate Cox and Lasso regression analyses from two datasets, the Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 477) and GSE31210 (n = 226). An independent dataset (GSE50081) containing 128 LUAD samples were used for validation. Results: An eight-UPSG signature, including ARIH2, FBXO9, KRT8, MYLIP, PSMD2, RNF180, TRIM28, and UBE2V2, was established. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and time-receiver operating characteristic curves for the training and validation datasets revealed that this risk signature presented with good performance in predicting overall and relapsed-free survival. Based on the signature and its associated clinical features, a nomogram and corresponding web-based calculator for predicting survival were established. Calibration plot and decision curve analyses showed that this model was clinically useful for both the training and validation datasets. Finally, a web-based calculator (https://ostool.shinyapps.io/lungcancer) was built to facilitate convenient clinical application of the signature. Conclusion: An UPSG based model was developed and validated in this study, which may be useful as a novel prognostic predictor for LUAD.

Abstract
Introduction Transport through endothelial cells of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) involves a complex group of structures of the endo-lysosome system such as early and late endosomes, and the retromer complex system. Studies show that neuronal dysregulation of the vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35), the main component of the retromer complex recognition core, results in altered protein trafficking and degradation and is involved in neurodegeneration. Since the functional role of VPS35 in endothelial cells has not been fully investigated, in the present study we aimed at characterizing the effect of its downregulation on these pathways. Methods Genetic silencing of VPS35 in human brain endothelial cells; measurement of retromer complex system proteins, autophagy and ubiquitin-proteasome systems. Results VPS35-downregulated endothelial cells had increased expression of LC3B2/1 and more ubiquitinated products, markers of autophagy flux and impaired proteasome activity, respectively. Additionally, compared with controls VPS35 downregulation resulted in significant accumulation of tau protein and its phosphorylated isoforms. Discussion Our findings demonstrate that in brain endothelial cells retromer complex dysfunction by influencing endosome-lysosome degradation pathways results in altered proteostasis. Restoration of the retromer complex system function should be considered a novel therapeutic approach to rescue endothelial protein transport.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates that topoisomerase 3B (TOP3B) forms both RNA and DNA cleavage complexes (TOP3Bccs) in vivo and reveals a pathway for repairing TOP3Bccs. For inducing and detecting cellular TOP3Bccs, we engineer a “self-trapping” mutant of TOP3B (R338W-TOP3B). Transfection with R338W-TOP3B induces R-loops, genomic damage, and growth defect, which highlights the importance of TOP3Bcc repair mechanisms. To determine how cells repair TOP3Bccs, we deplete tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases (TDP1 and TDP2). TDP2-deficient cells show elevated TOP3Bccs both in DNA and RNA. Conversely, overexpression of TDP2 lowers cellular TOP3Bccs. Using recombinant human TDP2, we demonstrate that TDP2 can process both denatured and proteolyzed TOP3Bccs. We also show that cellular TOP3Bccs are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase TRIM41 before undergoing proteasomal processing and excision by TDP2. Saha et al. introduce an approach to generate and detect the catalytic intermediates of TOP3B in DNA and RNA by engineering a self-poisoning enzyme, R338W-TOP3B. They reveal the cellular consequences of abortive TOP3Bcc formation and a repair pathway involving TRIM41, the proteasome, and TDP2 for processing of TOP3Bcc.

Abstract
Autophagy is a general protective mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in eukaryotic cells, regulating cellular metabolism, and promoting cell survival by degrading and recycling cellular components under stress conditions. The degradation pathway that is mediated by autophagy receptors is called selective autophagy, also named as xenophagy. Autophagy receptor NDP52 acts as a ‘bridge’ between autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and it also plays an important role in the process of selective autophagy. Pathogenic microbial infections cause various diseases in both humans and animals, posing a great threat to public health. Increasing evidence has revealed that autophagy and autophagy receptors are involved in the life cycle of pathogenic microbial infections. The interaction between autophagy receptor and pathogenic microorganism not only affects the replication of these microorganisms in the host cell, but it also affects the host’s immune system. This review aims to discuss the effects of autophagy on pathogenic microbial infection and replication, and summarizes the mechanisms by which autophagy receptors interact with microorganisms. While considering the role of autophagy receptors in microbial infection, NDP52 might be a potential target for developing effective therapies to treat pathogenic microbial infections.

Abstract
Hypertensive status induces modifications in the respiratory profile. Previous studies have indicated that hypertensive rats show increased respiratory-sympathetic coupling compared to normotensive rats. However, these effects and especially the mechanisms underlying such effects are not well known. Thus, we evaluated the influence of high blood pressure and autonomic dysfunction on a ventilatory pattern associated with lung injury and on the ubiquitin-proteasome system of the diaphragm muscle. Autonomic cardiovascular modulation (systolic BP variance and low-frequency band and pulse interval variance) and arterial blood gases patterns (pH, pO2, HCO3, SpO2), can be changed by hypertension, as well exacerbated chemoreflex pressor response. We observed that the diaphragm muscle of SHR showed increase in type I cross-sectional fiber (16%) and reduction in type II cross-sectional fiber area (41%), increased activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and lipid peroxidation, with no differences between groups in the analysis of ubiquitinated proteins and misfolded proteins. Our results showed that hypertension induced functional compensatory/adverse alterations associated with diaphragm fiber type changes and protein degradation as well as changed autonomic control of circulation. In conclusion, we believe there is an adaptation in ventilatory pattern in regarding to prevent the development of fatigue and muscle weakness and improve ventilatory endurance. Impact statement It was well known that hypertension can be driven by increased sympathetic activity and has been documented as a central link between autonomic dysfunction and alterations in the respiratory pattern. Our study demonstrated the impact of hypertension in ventilatory mechanics and their relationship with diaphragm muscle protein degradation. These findings may assist us in future alternative treatments to prevent diaphragm fatigue and weakness in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective antineoplastic agent used in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, clinical use of DOX is limited due to the development of dose-dependent toxicity to cardiac and respiratory (i.e., diaphragm) muscles. After administration, DOX preferentially localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it promotes cellular toxicity via enhanced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Although recent evidence suggests that amelioration of mitochondrial ROS emission preserves cardiorespiratory muscle function following DOX treatment, the mechanisms responsible for this protection remain unknown. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that DOX-induced mitochondrial ROS production is required to stimulate pathological signaling by the autophagy/lysosomal system (ALS), the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP), and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Cause and effect were determined by administration of the mitochondria-targeted peptide SS-31 to DOX-treated animals. Interestingly, while SS-31 abrogated aberrant ROS emission in cardiorespiratory muscles of DOX-treated animals, our results revealed muscle-specific regulation of effector pathways. In the heart, SS-31 prevented DOX-induced proteolytic signaling through the ALS and UPP. In contrast, ALS signaling was inhibited by SS-31 in the diaphragm, but the UPP was not affected. UPR signaling was activated in both muscles at eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) S51 in the heart and diaphragm of DOX-treated animals and was attenuated with SS-31 treatment in both tissues. However, downstream signaling of eIF2α (activating transcription factor 4 and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein) was diminished in the heart but upregulated in the diaphragm with DOX. Collectively, these results show that DOX-induced ROS production plays distinct roles in the regulation of cardiac and diaphragm muscle proteolysis.

Abstract
The loss of skeletal muscle mass with energy deficit is thought to be due to protein breakdown by the autophagy-lysosome and the ubiquitin-proteasome systems. We studied the main signaling pathways through which exercise can attenuate the loss of muscle mass during severe energy deficit (5500 kcal/day). Overweight men followed four days of caloric restriction (3.2 kcal/kg body weight day) and prolonged exercise (45 min of one-arm cranking and 8 h walking/day), and three days of control diet and restricted exercise, with an intra-subject design including biopsies from muscles submitted to distinct exercise volumes. Gene expression and signaling data indicate that the main catabolic pathway activated during severe energy deficit in skeletal muscle is the autophagy-lysosome pathway, without apparent activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Markers of autophagy induction and flux were reduced by exercise primarily in the muscle submitted to an exceptional exercise volume. Changes in signaling are associated with those in circulating cortisol, testosterone, cortisol/testosterone ratio, insulin, BCAA, and leucine. We conclude that exercise mitigates the loss of muscle mass by attenuating autophagy activation, blunting the phosphorylation of AMPK/ULK1/Beclin1, and leading to p62/SQSTM1 accumulation. This includes the possibility of inhibiting autophagy as a mechanism to counteract muscle loss in humans under severe energy deficit.

Abstract
Proteins play crucial and diverse roles within the cell. To exert their biological function they must fold to acquire an appropriate three-dimensional conformation. Once their function is fulfilled, they need to be properly degraded to hamper any possible damage. Protein homeostasis or proteostasis comprises a complex interconnected network that regulates different steps of the protein quality control, from synthesis and folding, to degradation. Due to the primary role of proteins in cellular function, the integrity of this network is critical to assure functionality and health across lifespan. Proteostasis failure has been reported in the context of aging and neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, targeting the proteostasis elements emerges as a promising neuroprotective therapeutic approach to prevent or ameliorate the progression of these disorders. A variety of natural products are known to be neuroprotective by protein homeostasis interaction. In this review, we will focus on the current knowledge regarding the use of natural products as modulators of different components of the proteostasis machinery within the framework of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases describe a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders caused by the CAG triplet repeat expansion in the coding region of the disease genes. To date, nine such diseases, including spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), have been reported. The formation of SDS-insoluble protein aggregates in neurons causes cellular dysfunctions, such as impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and contributes to polyQ pathologies. Recently, the E3 ubiquitin ligases, which govern substrate specificity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, have been implicated in polyQ pathogenesis. The Cullin (Cul) proteins are major components of Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) complexes that are evolutionarily conserved in the Drosophila genome. In this study, we examined the effect of individual Culs on SCA3 pathogenesis and found that the knockdown of Cul1 expression enhances SCA3-induced neurodegeneration and reduces the solubility of expanded SCA3-polyQ proteins. The F-box proteins are substrate receptors of Cul1-based CRL. We further performed a genetic modifier screen of the 19 Drosophila F-box genes and identified F-box involved in polyQ pathogenesis (FipoQ) as a genetic modifier of SCA3 degeneration that modulates the ubiquitination and solubility of expanded SCA3-polyQ proteins. In the human SK-N-MC cell model, we identified that F-box only protein 33 (FBXO33) exerts similar functions as FipoQ in modulating the ubiquitination and solubility of expanded SCA3-polyQ proteins. Taken together, our study demonstrates that Cul1-based CRL and its associated F-box protein, FipoQ/FBXO33, modify SCA3 protein toxicity. These findings will lead to a better understanding of the disease mechanism of SCA3 and provide insights for developing treatments against SCA3. Cover Image for this issue: doi: 10.1111/jnc.14510.

Abstract
The corpus luteum (CL) is an important tissue of the female reproductive process which is established through ovulation of the mature follicle. Pulsatile release of prostaglandin F2α from the uterus leads to the regression of luteal cells and restarts the estrous cycle in most non-primate species. The rapid functional regression of the CL, which coincides with decrease of progesterone production, is followed by its structural regression. Although we now have a better understanding of how the CL is triggered to undergo programmed cell death, the precise mechanisms governing CL protein degradation in a very short period of luteolysis remains unknown. In this context, activation of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP), unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy are potential subcellular mechanisms involved. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) maintains tissue homeostasis in the face of both internal and external stressors. The UPP also controls physiological processes in many gonadal cells. Emerging evidence suggests that UPP dysfunction is involved in male and female reproductive tract dysfunction. Autophagy is activated when cells are exposed to different types of stressors such as hypoxia, starvation, and oxidative stress. While emerging evidence points to an important role for the UPP and autophagy in the CL, the key underlying transcriptional mechanisms have not been well-documented. In this review, we propose how CL regression may be governed by the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy pathways. We will further consider potential transcription factors which may regulate these events in the CL.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue capable of responding to a large variety of physiological stimuli by adjusting muscle fiber size, metabolism and function. However, in pathological conditions such as cancer and neural disorders, this finely regulated homeostasis is impaired leading to severe muscle wasting, reduced muscle fiber size (atrophy), and impaired function. These disease features develop due to enhanced protein breakdown, which relies on two major degradation systems: the ubiquitin-proteasome and the autophagy-lysosome. These systems are independently regulated by different signalling pathways, which in physiological conditions, determine protein and organelle turnover. However, alterations in one or both systems, as it happens in several disorders, leads to enhanced protein breakdown and muscle atrophy. Although this is a common feature in the different types of muscle atrophy, the relative contribution of each of these systems is still under debate. Here, we will briefly describe the regulation and the activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome and the autophagy-lysosome systems during muscle wasting. We will then discuss what we know regarding how these pathways are involved in cancer induced and in neurogenic muscle atrophy, highlighting common and divergent paths. It is now clear that there is no one unifying common mechanism that can be applied to all models of muscle loss. Detailed understanding of the pathways and proteolysis mechanisms involved in each model will hopefully help the development of drugs to counteract muscle wasting in specific conditions.

Abstract
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors that regulate a wide variety of genes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. In the present study, we identified that isoxanthohumol (IXN) suppressed SREBP activity. Low concentrations of IXN (10 and 30 μM) reduced the amount of mature forms of SREBPs, while high concentration of IXN (100 μM) reduced both precursor and mature forms of SREBPs in Huh-7 cells. The IXN-mediated decrease in the precursor forms of SREBPs in Huh-7 cells was completely abolished by culturing cells under sterol-supplemented conditions and was partly abolished by treatment with a proteasome inhibitor, MG132, but not a lysosome inhibitor, NH4Cl. Moreover, IXN accelerated the ubiquitination of the precursor forms of SREBP-1a. These results suggest that IXN suppresses SREBP activity, at least in part, via ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation of the precursor forms of SREBPs.

Abstract
A deficient pancreatic β-cell mass increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, we investigated the effects of testosterone on the development of pancreatic β-cell mass in male rats. The β-cell mass of male rats castrated at 6 wk of age was reduced to ~30% of that of control rats at 16 wk of age, and castration caused glucose intolerance. Loss of β-cell mass occurred because of decreases in islet density per pancreas and β-cell cluster size. Castration was negatively associated with the number of Ki-67-positive β-cells and positively associated with the number of TUNEL-positive β-cells. These β-cell changes could be prevented by testosterone treatment. In contrast, castration did not affect β-cell mass in male mice. Androgen receptor (AR) localized differently in mouse and rat β-cells. Testosterone enhanced the viability of INS-1 and INS-1 #6, which expresses high levels of AR, in rat β-cell lines. siRNA-mediated AR knockdown or AR antagonism with hydroxyflutamide attenuated this enhancement. Moreover, testosterone did not stimulate INS-1 β-cell viability under high d-glucose conditions. In INS-1 β-cells, d-glucose dose dependently (5.5-22.2 mM) downregulated AR protein levels both in the presence and absence of testosterone. The intracellular calcium chelator (BAPTA-AM) could prevent this decrease in AR expression. AR levels were also reduced by a calcium ionophore (A23187), but not by insulin, in the absence of the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Our results indicate that testosterone regulates β-cell mass, at least in part, by AR activation in the β-cells of male rats and that the β-cell AR is degraded under hyperglycemic conditions.

Abstract
Chronic stress detrimentally affects animal health and homeostasis, with somatic growth, and thus skeletal muscle, being particularly affected. A detailed understanding of the underlying endocrine and molecular mechanisms of how chronic stress affects skeletal muscle growth remains lacking. To address this issue, the present study assessed primary (plasma cortisol), secondary (key components of the GH/IGF system, muscular proteolytic pathways, and apoptosis), and tertiary (growth performance) stress responses in fine flounder ( Paralichthys adspersus) exposed to crowding chronic stress. Levels of plasma cortisol, glucocorticoid receptor 2 ( gr2), and its target genes ( klf15 and redd1) mRNA increased significantly only at 4 wk of crowding ( P < 0.05). The components of the GH/IGF system, including ligands, receptors, and their signaling pathways, were significantly downregulated at 7 wk of crowding ( P < 0.05). Interestingly, chronic stress upregulated the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and the intrinsic apoptosis pathways at 4wk ( P < 0.01), whereas autophagy was only significantly activated at 7 wk ( P < 0.05), and meanwhile the ubiquitin-proteasome and the apoptosis pathways returned to control levels. Overall growth was inhibited in fish in the 7-wk chronic stress trial ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, chronic stress directly affects muscle growth and downregulates the GH/IGF system, an action through which muscular catabolic mechanisms are promoted by two different and nonoverlapping proteolytic pathways. These findings provide new information on molecular mechanisms involved in the negative effects that chronic stress has on muscle anabolic/catabolic signaling balance.

Abstract
UPF1 is an RNA helicase that orchestrates nonsense-mediated decay and other RNA surveillance pathways. While UPF1 is best known for its basal cytoprotective role in degrading aberrant RNAs, UPF1 also degrades specific, normally occurring mRNAs to regulate diverse cellular processes. Here we describe a role for UPF1 in regulated protein decay, wherein UPF1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to repress human skeletal muscle differentiation. Suppressing UPF1 accelerates myogenesis, while ectopically increasing UPF1 levels slows myogenesis. UPF1 promotes the decay of MYOD protein, a transcription factor that is a master regulator of myogenesis, while leaving MYOD mRNA stability unaffected. UPF1 acts as an E3 ligase via its RING domain to promote MYOD protein ubiquitination and degradation. Our data characterize a regulatory role for UPF1 in myogenesis, and they demonstrate that UPF1 provides a mechanistic link between the RNA and protein decay machineries in human cells.

Abstract
The role of the nucleolus and autophagy in maintenance of nuclear integrity is poorly understood. In addition, the mechanisms of nuclear destruction in cancer cells senesced after conventional chemotherapy are unclear. In an attempt to elucidate these issues, we studied teratocarcinoma PA1 cells treated with Etoposide (ETO), focusing on the nucleolus. Following treatment, most cells enter G2 arrest, display persistent DNA damage and activate p53, senescence, and macroautophagy markers. 2-5 µm sized nucleolar aggresomes (NoA) containing fibrillarin (FIB) and damaged rDNA, colocalized with ubiquitin, pAMPK, and LC3-II emerge, accompanied by heterochromatin fragments, when translocated perinuclearly. Microscopic counts following application of specific inhibitors revealed that formation of FIB-NoA is dependent on deficiency of the ubiquitin proteasome system coupled to functional autophagy. In contrast, the accompanying NoAs release of pericentric heterochromatin, which exceeds their frequency, is favored by debilitation of autophagic flux. Potential survivors release NoA in the cytoplasm during rare mitoses, while exit of pericentric fragments often depleted of H3K9Me3, with or without encompassing by NoA, occurs through the nucleolar protrusions and defects of the nuclear envelope. Foci of LC3-II are accumulated in the nucleoli undergoing cessation of rDNA transcription. As an origin of heterochromatin fragmentation, the unscheduled DNA synthesis and circular DNAs were found in the perinucleolar heterochromatin shell, along with activation and retrotransposition of ALU elements, colocalized with 45S rDNA in NoAs. The data indicate coordination of the basic nucleolar function with autophagy regulation in maintenance of the integrity of the nucleolus associated domains secured by inactivity of retrotransposons.

Abstract
AMPK is considered to have a role in regulating skeletal muscle mass. However, there are no studies investigating the function of AMPK in modulating skeletal muscle mass during atrophic conditions. In the present study, we investigated the difference in unloading-associated muscle atrophy and molecular functions in response to 2-wk hindlimb suspension between transgenic mice overexpressing the dominant-negative mutant of AMPK (AMPK-DN) and their wild-type (WT) littermates. Male WT (n = 24) and AMPK-DN (n = 24) mice were randomly divided into two groups: an untreated preexperimental control group (n = 12 in each group) and an unloading (n = 12 in each group) group. The relative soleus muscle weight and fiber cross-sectional area to body weight were decreased by ∼30% in WT mice by hindlimb unloading and by ∼20% in AMPK-DN mice. There were no changes in puromycin-labeled protein or Akt/70-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase signaling, the indicators of protein synthesis. The expressions of ubiquitinated proteins and muscle RING finger 1 mRNA and protein, markers of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, were increased by hindlimb unloading in WT mice but not in AMPK-DN mice. The expressions of molecules related to the protein degradation system, phosphorylated forkhead box class O3a, inhibitor of κBα, microRNA (miR)-1, and miR-23a, were decreased only in WT mice in response to hindlimb unloading, and 72-kDa heat shock protein expression was higher in AMPK-DN mice than in WT mice. These results imply that AMPK partially regulates unloading-induced atrophy of slow-twitch muscle possibly through modulation of the protein degradation system, especially the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lysosomal and ubiquitin-proteasome system dysfunction on the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein, and to analyze its role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). PC12 cells subjected to nerve growth factor-induced differentiation were used as the cell model to study the dopaminergic neurons, and the lysosomal and proteasomal inhibitors trans-epoxysuccinyl-L-leucylamido-(4-guanidino) butane (E64) and, respectively, were used exclusively and in combination to treat the PC12 cells. The viability and metabolic state of the cells was assessed using the MTT assay; flow cytometry was used to measure the rate of cell apoptosis; and the double immunofluorescence method was applied to observe the formation of thioflavin S- and α-synuclein protein-positive aggregates and inclusion bodies in the PC12 cells. In addition, the Hoechst 33258 staining method was used to observe the apoptosis of the α-synuclein protein and thioflavin-S double-labeled cells. Following the administration of the lysosomal and proteasomal pathway inhibitors, the cell viability decreased in a concentration-dependent manner and the cell apoptosis rate increased. The proportion of PC12 cells with α-synuclein protein-positive aggregates and inclusion bodies in the E64 group was 7.94%, compared with 20.33 and 36.77% in the lactacystin and combination treatment groups, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that the number of inclusion body-positive cells in the treatment groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (3.78%) (P<0.05). Apoptosis was evident in the double-positive cells with α-synuclein protein-positive inclusion bodies (17.29±1.54%). In conclusion, lysosomal and proteasomal dysfunction may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD through the induction of abnormal α-synuclein protein aggregation in dopaminergic neurons.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a critical component of the ageing process. Age-related muscle wasting is due to disrupted muscle protein turnover, a process mediated in part by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP). Additionally, older subjects have been observed to have an attenuated anabolic response, at both the molecular and physiological levels, following a single-bout of resistance exercise (RE). We investigated the expression levels of the UPP-related genes and proteins involved in muscle protein degradation in 10 older (60–75 years) vs. 10 younger (18–30 years) healthy male subjects at basal as well as 2 h after a single-bout of RE. MURF1, atrogin-1 and FBXO40, their substrate targets PKM2, myogenin, MYOD, MHC and EIF3F as well as MURF1 and atrogin-1 transcriptional regulators FOXO1 and FOXO3 gene and/or protein expression levels were measured via real time PCR and western blotting, respectively. At basal, no age-related difference was observed in the gene/protein levels of atrogin-1, MURF1, myogenin, MYOD and FOXO1/3. However, a decrease in FBXO40 mRNA and protein levels was observed in older subjects, while PKM2 protein was increased. In response to RE, MURF1, atrogin-1 and FBXO40 mRNA were upregulated in both the younger and older subjects, with changes observed in protein levels. In conclusion, UPP-related gene/protein expression is comparably regulated in healthy young and old male subjects at basal and following RE. These findings suggest that UPP signaling plays a limited role in the process of age-related muscle wasting. Future studies are required to investigate additional proteolytic mechanisms in conjunction with skeletal muscle protein breakdown (MPB) measurements following RE in older vs. younger subjects.

Abstract
Previous studies have evaluated role of Akt/mTOR signaling in rotator cuff muscle atrophy and determined that there was differential in signaling following tendon transection (TT) and suprascapular nerve (SSN) denervation (DN), suggesting that atrophy following TT and DN was modulated by different protein degradation pathways. In this study, two muscle proteolytic systems that have been shown to be potent regulators of muscle atrophy in other injury models, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and autophagy, were evaluated following TT and DN. In addition to examining protein degradation, this study assessed protein synthesis rate following these two surgical models to understand how the balance between protein degradation and synthesis results in atrophy following rotator cuff injury. In contrast to the traditional theory that protein synthesis is decreased during muscle atrophy, this study suggests that protein synthesis is up-regulated in rotator cuff muscle atrophy following both surgical models. While the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway was a major contributor to the atrophy seen following DN, autophagy was a major contributor following TT. The findings of this study suggest that protein degradation is the primary factor contributing to atrophy following rotator cuff injury. However, different proteolytic pathways are activated if SSN injury is involved.

Abstract
There is compelling evidence showing that dietary phytochemicals have exhibited pronounced bioactivities in a number of experimental models. In addition, a variety of epidemiological surveys have demonstrated that frequent ingestion of vegetables and fruits, which contain abundant phytochemicals, lowers the risk of onset of some diseases. However, the action mechanisms by which dietary phytochemicals show bioactivity remain to be fully elucidated and a fundamental question is why this class of chemicals has great potential for regulating health. Meanwhile, maintenance and repair of biological proteins by molecular chaperones, such as heat shock proteins, and clearance of abnormal proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy play central roles in health, some disease prevention, and longevity. Interestingly, several recent studies have revealed that phytochemicals, including curcumin (yellow pigment in turmeric), resveratrol (phytoalexin in grapes), quercetin (general flavonol in onions and others), and isothiocyanates (preferentially present in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage), are remarkable regulators of protein quality control systems, suggesting that their physiological and biological functions are exerted, at least in part, through activation of such unique mechanisms. This review article highlights recent findings regarding the effects of representative phytochemicals on protein quality control systems and their possible molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) confer diverse functions on their target proteins. The modified proteins are involved in various biological processes, including DNA replication, signal transduction, cell cycle control, embryogenesis, cytoskeletal regulation, metabolism, stress response, homeostasis and mRNA processing. Modifiers such as SUMO, ATG12, ISG15, FAT10, URM1, and UFM have been shown to modify proteins thus conferring functions related to programmed cell death, autophagy and regulation of the immune system. Putative modifiers such as Domain With No Name (DWNN) have been identified in recent times but not fully characterized. In this review, we focus on cellular processes involving human Ubls and their targets. We review current progress in targeting these modifiers for drug design strategies.

Abstract
An abnormal ubiquitin-proteasome is found in many human diseases, especially in cancer, and has received extensive attention as a promising therapeutic target in recent years. In this work, several in silico models have been built with two classes of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) by using 3D-QSAR, homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study resulted in two types of satisfactory 3D-QSAR models, i.e., the CoMFA model (Q(2) = 0.462, R(2) (pred) = 0.820) for epoxyketone inhibitors (EPK) and the CoMSIA model (Q(2) = 0.622, R(2) (pred) = 0.821) for tyropeptin-boronic acid derivatives (TBA). From the contour maps, some key structural factors responsible for the activity of these two series of PIs are revealed. For EPK inhibitors, the N-cap part should have higher electropositivity; a large substituent such as a benzene ring is favored at the C6-position. In terms of TBA inhibitors, hydrophobic substituents with a larger size anisole group are preferential at the C8-position; higher electropositive substituents like a naphthalene group at the C3-position can enhance the activity of the drug by providing hydrogen bond interaction with the protein target. Molecular docking disclosed that residues Thr60, Thr80, Gly106 and Ser189 play a pivotal role in maintaining the drug-target interactions, which are consistent with the contour maps. MD simulations further indicated that the binding modes of each conformation derived from docking is stable and in accord with the corresponding structure extracted from MD simulation overall. These results can offer useful theoretical references for designing more potent PIs.

Abstract
As a key degrader of fibrillar collagens, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13), may contribute to the progression of pelvic organ prolapse. Here we aimed to define the regulation of MMP13 by estradiol and progesterone in the vaginal supportive tissues. Fibroblasts cultured from the arcus tendineous fasciae pelvis of three pre- and three postmenopausal women with prolapse were treated with 17-beta-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), E2 + P4, or E2 + ICI 182,780 (ICI). Collagenase inhibitor I (CI) and MG-132 were employed to investigate the mechanism of MMP13 degradation into inactive fragments (fragmentation) by hormones. The regulation of MMP13 in vivo was assessed by comparing tissues of ovariectomized (ovx) vs. sham-operated rats. Expression of MMP13 (proenzyme and active and fragment forms) was quantitated by Western immunoblotting, and MMP13 enzymatic activity was measured using a substrate degradation assay. The amount of cellular active MMP13 and MMP13 proteolytic activity decreased in the presence of hormones. The decrease was paralleled by increased proenzyme and fragment forms. MG-132, not CI, suppressed cellular MMP13 fragmentation. Active MMP13 increased in rats following ovx and was suppressed by E2 + P4 supplementation. Active MMP13 is suppressed in vivo and in vitro by estradiol and progesterone, suggesting a protective effect against vaginal supportive tissue deterioration.
