Retraction Notice to: DNA-PKcs-PIDDosome: A Nuclear Caspase-2-Activating Complex with Role in G2/M Checkpoint Maintenance

چکیده
Caspase-2 is unique among all the mammalian caspases in that it is the only caspase that is present constitutively in the cell nucleus, in addition to other cellular compartments. However, the functional significance of this nuclear localization is unknown. Here we show that DNA damage induced by gamma-radiation triggers the phosphorylation of nuclear caspase-2 at the S122 site within its prodomain, leading to its cleavage and activation. This phosphorylation is carried out by the nuclear serine/threonine protein kinase DNA-PKcs and promoted by the p53-inducible death-domain-containing protein PIDD within a large nuclear protein complex consisting of DNA-PKcs, PIDD, and caspase-2, which we have named the DNA-PKcs-PIDDosome. This phosphorylation and the catalytic activity of caspase-2 are involved in the maintenance of a G2/M DNA damage checkpoint and DNA repair mediated by the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. The DNA-PKcs-PIDDosome thus represents a protein complex that impacts mammalian G2/M DNA damage checkpoint and NHEJ.

Caspase-2 activation in the absence of PIDDosome formation
PIDD (p53-induced protein with a death domain [DD]), together with the bipartite adapter protein RAIDD (receptor-interacting protein-associated ICH-1/CED-3 homologous protein with a DD), is implicated in the activation of pro-caspase-2 in a high molecular weight complex called the PIDDosome during apoptosis induction after DNA damage. To investigate the role of PIDD in cell death initiation, we...

Vol. 216 No. 6 1521–1523 https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201704114 Caspase-2 is a critical component of the cellular machinery designed to remove damaged cells, preventing disease. Consistent with a function in the apoptosis pathway, caspase-2, like caspase-3, is a tumor suppressor (Puccini et al., 2013). Although caspase-2 is required to i...

2¶-C-Cyano-2¶-deoxy-1-B-D-arabino-pentofuranosylcytosine (CNDAC), the prodrug (sapacitabine) of which is in clinical trials, has the novel mechanism of action of causing single-strand breaks after incorporating into DNA. Cells respond to this unique lesion by activating the G2 checkpoint, affected by the Chk1-Cdc25C-cyclindependent kinase 1/cyclin B pathway. This study aims at defining DNA dama...
متن کاملThe Bfa1/Bub2 GAP complex comprises a universal checkpoint required to prevent mitotic exit
At the end of the cell cycle, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity is inactivated to allow mitotic exit [1]. A protein phosphatase, Cdc14, plays a key role during mitotic exit in budding yeast by activating the Cdh1 component of the anaphase-promoting complex to degrade cyclin B (Clb) and inducing the CDK inhibitor Sic1 to inactivate Cdk1 [2]. To prevent mitotic exit when the cell cycle is ar...
متن کاملNuclear export of cyclin B1 and its possible role in the DNA damage-induced G2 checkpoint.
M-phase-promoting factor (MPF), a complex of cdc2 and a B-type cyclin, is a key regulator of the G2/M cell cycle transition. Cyclin B1 accumulates in the cytoplasm through S and G2 phases and translocates to the nucleus during prophase. We show here that cytoplasmic localization of cyclin B1 during interphase is directed by its nuclear export signal (NES)-dependent transport mechanism. Treatmen...
