Description
The MYC transcription factor is an unstable protein and its turnover is controlled by the ubiquitin system. Ubiquitination enhances MYC-dependent transactivation, but the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Here we show that proteasomal turnover of MYC is dispensable for recruitment of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), but is required to promote transcriptional elongation at MYC target genes. Degradation of MYC stimulates histone acetylation and recruitment of BRD4 and P-TEFb to target promoters, leading to phosphorylation of RNAPII CTD and the release of elongating RNAPII. In the absence of degradation, the RNA polymerase II-associated factor (PAF) complex associates with MYC via interaction of its CDC73 subunit with a conserved domain in the amino-terminus of MYC ("MYC box I"), suggesting that a MYC/PAF complex is an intermediate in transcriptional activation. Since histone acetylation depends on a second highly conserved domain in MYCs amino-terminus ("MYC box II"), we propose that both domains co-operate to transfer elongation factors onto paused RNAPII. Overall design: RNA-Seq Experiments were performed in a primary breast epithelial cell line (IMEC).The cell line expressed doxycycline-inducible versions of MYC (WT;Kless,Swap=WTN-KC). Where indicated cells were transfected with siRNAs (siCtrl;siSKP2). Where indicated cells were treaed with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 or EtOH as solvent control. DGE was performed by comparing Dox-treated populations expressing either Dox-inducible MYC or a vector control or comparing Dox-induced cells with EtOH (solvent control) treated cells.

Description
Inhibition of ZNF768 function was achieved by conditional over expression expression of the C-terminal zinc finger of ZNF768 for 12h. For preparation of total RNA cells were resuspended in TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies) at 0.9Mio/ml and snap-frozen. After thawing RNA was extracted from 0.4ml of TriZol lysate using the direct-zol RNA Miniprep (Zymo Research, Irvine CA, USA) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. RNA was assessed for purity by UV-vis spectrometry (Nanodrop) and for integrity by Bioanalyzer (Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, Agilent, Santa Clara USA)). RNA was of high purity (abs. 260/280 >1.9, abs 269/239>2.1) and integrity (Bioanalyzer RIN>9 ) and thus used for further processing. For production of RNA-seq libraries total RNA was DNAse treated (dsDNAse, Fermentas) and 100 ng of this RNA was processed with a strand-specific protocol (RNA-seq complete kit, NuGEN, San Carlos, USA). In brief the RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA with a reduced set of hexamer primers, avoiding excessive representation of rRNA in the cDNA. Second strand cDNA synthesis was done in presence of dUTP. After ultrasonic fragmentation of the cDNA and end repair, Illumina-compatible adapter were ligated. Adapters contained uracil in one strand, allowing complete digestion of the second-strand derived DNA. After strand selection the libraries were amplified, assessed for correct insert size on the Agilent Bioanalyser and diluted to 10nM. Barcoded libraries were mixed in equimolar amounts and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq1500 in single-read mode with a read length of 100 b. Overall design: ZNF768-deltaN

Description
The t(10;11) p (13;q14) translocation, giving rise to CALM-AF10, is a recurring chromosomal translocation observed in several types of acute leukemias as well as in lymphoma. We have previously demonstrated that the expression of the human CALM/AF10 fusion gene in murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells results in an aggressive acute myeloid leukemia in vivo. In this study, we have screened the various domains essential for CALM-AF10 function and leukemogenicity. Our study identifies a mutant of CALM-AF10 that greatly enhances the clonogenic potential of hematopoietic progenitors while retaining key characteristics of disease induced by the full length CALM-AF10 fusion.

Description
Skeletal muscle possesses a remarkable capacity to regenerate when injured, but when confronted with major traumatic injury resulting in volumetric muscle loss (VML), the regenerative process consistently fails. The loss of muscle tissue and function from VML injury has prompted development of a suite of therapeutic approaches but these strategies have proceeded without a comprehensive understanding of the molecular landscape that drives the injury response. Herein, we administered a VML injury in an established rodent model and monitored the evolution of the healing phenomenology over multiple time points using muscle function testing, histology, and expression profiling by RNA sequencing. The injury response was then compared to a regenerative medicine treatment using orthotopic transplantation of autologous minced muscle grafts (~1?mm3 tissue fragments). A chronic inflammatory and fibrotic response was observed at all time points following VML. These results suggest that the pathological response to VML injury during the acute stage of the healing response overwhelms endogenous and therapeutic regenerative processes. Overall, the data presented delineate key molecular characteristics of the pathobiological response to VML injury that are critical effectors of effective regenerative treatment paradigms.

Description
Telomerase, the essential enzyme that maintains telomere length, contains two core components, TERT and TR. While early studies in yeast and mouse both indicated that loss of telomerase leads to phenotypes that arise after an increased number of generations, due to telomere shortening, recent studies claim additional roles for telomerase components in transcription and the response to DNA damage. To test these telomere length maintenance-independent roles of telomerase components, we examined first generation mTR-/- and mTERT-/- mice with long telomeres. We used gene expression profiling and found no genes that were expressed at significantly different levels when independent mTR-/- G1 mice were compared to mTERT-/- G1 mice and to wild-type mice. In addition, we compared the response to DNA damage in mTR-/-G1 and mTERT-/- G1 mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and found no increase in the response to DNA damage in the absence of either telomerase components compared to wild-type. We conclude that in the wild-type physiological telomere length setting, neither mTR nor mTERT act as a transcription factor or have a role in the DNA damage response.

Description
The translocation t(10,11)(p13;q14) resulting in the formation of the CALM/AF10 fusion gene is involved in various hematological malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and malignant lymphoma and is usually associated with poor prognosis. We established a knock-in mouse model allowing tissue-specific CALM/AF10 expression from the Rosa26 locus using a loxP-STOP-loxP cassette to study leukemic transformation by the CALM/AF10 fusion protein during hematopoiesis. vav-Cre induced pan-hematopoietic expression of the CALM/AF10 fusion gene led to acute leukemia with a median latency of 12 months. Leukemias were either myeloid or had myeloid feature and showed expression of the B cell marker B220. Gene expression profiling of leukemic bone marrow cells revealed the overexpression of Hoxa cluster genes and the Hox co-factor Meis1. The long latency to leukemia development suggested that additional, collaborative genetic lesions are required. We identified an average of 2 to 3 additional mutations per leukemia using whole-exome sequencing. When CALM/AF10 was expressed in the B lymphoid compartment using mb1-Cre or CD19-Cre inducer lines no leukemia development was observed. Our results indicate that CALM/AF10 needs to be expressed from the stem or early progenitor cell stage onward to permit the acquisition of additional mutations required for leukemic transformation.
