RhoH/TTF negatively regulates leukotriene production in neutrophils.

چکیده
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is an important proinflammatory lipid mediator generated by neutrophils upon activation. GM-CSF stimulation is known to enhance agonist-mediated LTB(4) production of neutrophils within minutes, a process called "priming". In this study, we demonstrate that GM-CSF also limits the production of LTB(4) by neutrophils via a transcriptional mechanism at later time points. We identified hemopoietic-specific Ras homologous (RhoH)/translocation three four (TTF), which was induced following GM-CSF stimulation in neutrophils, as a key regulator in this process. Neutrophils derived from RhoH/TTF-deficient (Rhoh(-/-)) mice demonstrated increased LTB(4) production upon activation compared with normal mouse neutrophils. Moreover, neutrophils from cystic fibrosis patients expressed enhanced levels of RhoH/TTF and generated less LTB(4) upon activation compared with normal human neutrophils. Taken together, these data suggest that RhoH/TTF represents an inducible feedback inhibitor in neutrophils that is involved in the limitation of innate immune responses.

The cellular abundance of the essential transcription termination factor TTF-I regulates ribosome biogenesis and is determined by MDM2 ubiquitinylation
The ARF tumour suppressor stabilizes p53 by negatively regulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 to promote cell cycle arrest and cell death. However, ARF is also able to arrest cell proliferation by inhibiting ribosome biogenesis. In greater part this is achieved by targeting the transcription termination factor I (TTF-I) for nucleolar export, leading to an inhibition of both ribosomal RNA synth...

Selective sulfoxidation of BEDT-TTF (bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene) with enantiopure (camphoryl-sulfonyl)oxaziridine derivatives provided the inner monosulfoxide, as demonstrated using single crystal X-ray analysis, with an enantiomeric excess of 44% (up to 74% after recrystallization).

A unique N(+)-H···N hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) dimer motif based on partially oxidized pyridyl-substituted TTF was constructed in the charge-transfer complex. The charge ordering in the TTF column by the charge disproportionation in the dimer regulates the arrangement of the H-bonded proton, evidencing the proton-electron coupled state.

A new mixed-anion crystal composed of BEDT-TTF radical cation salt [BEDT-TTF]2(CuBr2)0.4(CuCl2)0.6 with an α'-type donor arrangement with a formal charge of +0.5 per BEDT-TTF was prepared by using a chemical oxidation method and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, four-probe electrical resistivity measurements (semiconductor: ρrt = 2 × 10 Ω cm, Ea = 0.2 eV), and energy band calculations. ...
متن کاملThe chromatin remodeling complex NoRC and TTF-I cooperate in the regulation of the mammalian rRNA genes in vivo.
The transcription termination factor (TTF)-I is a multifunctional nucleolar protein that terminates ribosomal gene transcription, mediates replication fork arrest and regulates RNA polymerase I transcription on chromatin. TTF-I plays a dual role in rDNA regulation, being involved in both activation and silencing of rDNA transcription. The N-terminal part of TTF-I contains a negative regulatory ...
