A role for the proteasome in the light response of the timeless clock protein.

The cyclic expression of the period (PER) and timeless (TIM) proteins is critical for the molecular circadian feedback loop in Drosophila. The entrainment by light of the circadian clock is mediated by a reduction in TIM levels. To elucidate the mechanism of this process, the sensitivity of TIM regulation by light was tested in an in vitro assay with inhibitors of candidate proteolytic pathways. The data suggested that TIM is degraded through a ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism. In addition, in cultures from third-instar larvae, TIM degradation was blocked specifically by inhibitors of proteasome activity. Degradation appeared to be preceded by tyrosine phosphorylation. Finally, TIM was ubiquitinated in response to light in cultured cells.

Prevention of quinone-mediated DNA arylation by antioxidants.

High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis showed that the prototype antioxidant ascorbate (vitamin C) inhibits the DNA adducts induced by synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) and the antiestrogen metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHTam). Treatment of salmon testes DNA with 4-OHTam quinone or 4-OHTam in the presence of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) generated the same DNA adduct profile. Vitamin C and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibited the formation of 4-OHTam-dG adducts in a dose-dependent manner. To determine whether the same antioxidants also protect cellular DNA, HL-60 cells were used as cell culture model. Cells treated with 10 microM 4-OHTam in the presence of 1 microM H(2)O(2 )for 24 h gave 4-OHTam-dG adducts approximately 4 x 10(-7), n = 3. Treatment of the cells with 100 microM 4-OHTam, without H(2)O(2), produced the same level of adducts. Supplementation of the incubation media with vitamin C (2.5 mM) or NAC (5 mM) inhibited the formation of DNA adducts. Thus, antioxidants may protect susceptible cells from genotoxicity associated with 4-OHTam activation.

Phosphorylation and proteasome-dependent degradation of Bcl-2 in mitotic-arrested cells after microtubule damage.

Treatment of NIH-OVCAR-3 cells with paclitaxel, a microtubule-stabilizing agent, induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis, but also Bcl-2 phosphorylation. We report here that Bcl-2 phosphorylation precedes Bcl-2 down-regulation and that both events are closely associated with mitotic arrest, but are not sufficient for paclitaxel to trigger apoptosis. Indeed, when paclitaxel-treated cells were induced to exit mitosis in the presence of 2-aminopurine, Bcl-2 phosphorylation and Bcl-2 down-regulation were both inhibited. In contrast, when apoptosis was inhibited by a caspase inhibitor or Bcl-2 over-expression, Bcl-2 phosphorylation and down-regulation still occurred. Furthermore, we show that Bcl-2 is degraded in mitosis by the proteasome-dependent pathway since Bcl-2 down-regulation is inhibited by proteasome inhibitors such as MG132, Lactacystin and LLnL. Taken together these results indicate that mitotic spindle damage results in post-translational modifications of Bcl-2 by phosphorylation and degradation.
