SLR-2 and JMJC-1 regulate an evolutionarily conserved stress-response network.
Maintaining a homeostatic interaction with the environment is crucial for the growth, survival, and propagation of all living organisms. Reestablishment of equilibrium after stress is achieved by the activation of complex transcriptional-response networks, many of which remain poorly understood. Here, we report that the zinc-finger protein, SLR-2, is a master stress regulator and is required fo...
متن کاملAn evolutionarily conserved innate immunity protein interaction network.
The innate immune response plays a critical role in fighting infection; however, innate immunity also can affect the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, including sepsis, asthma, cancer, and atherosclerosis. To identify novel regulators of innate immunity, we performed comparative genomics RNA interference screens in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse macrophages. These screens ha...
متن کاملStress-Triggered Phase Separation Is an Adaptive, Evolutionarily Tuned Response
In eukaryotic cells, diverse stresses trigger coalescence of RNA-binding proteins into stress granules. In vitro, stress-granule-associated proteins can demix to form liquids, hydrogels, and other assemblies lacking fixed stoichiometry. Observing these phenomena has generally required conditions far removed from physiological stresses. We show that poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1 in yeast), a def...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Noncoding DNA
After decades of ignominy as ‘junk’, ‘parasite’ or ‘selfish’, noncoding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) present in introns and intergenic regions has recently been recognized as symbolizing a rich fossil record of DNA sequences subject to variation and conservation throughout evolution. In addition to clusters of evolutionarily conserved genes in close proximity to one another, human chromosomes al...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Network Properties of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
BACKGROUND Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a stable tertiary structure in isolation. Remarkably, however, a substantial portion of IDPs undergo disorder-to-order transitions upon binding to their cognate partners. Structural flexibility and binding plasticity enable IDPs to interact with a broad range of partners. However, the broader network properties that could provide addition...
