Disease relevance of HUWE1

 

High impact information on HUWE1

  • In this issue of Cell, and describe a new E3 ligase, ARF-BP1/Mule, which targets two very different substrates, p53 and Mcl-1, with completely different cellular outcomes [5].
  • Mule/ARF-BP1, a BH3-only E3 ubiquitin ligase, catalyzes the polyubiquitination of Mcl-1 and regulates apoptosis [6].
  • Elimination of Mule expression by RNA interference stabilizes Mcl-1 protein, resulting in an attenuation of the apoptosis induced by DNA-damage agents [6].
  • Mass spectrometry and size analysis by gel filtration and glycerol gradient centrifugation suggested that E3Histone is a monomer of LASU1 [7].
  • This GLUT4 trafficking to the plasma membrane in the absence of golgin-160 was independent of TGN/Golgi sorting, because it was no longer inhibited by the expression of a dominant-interfering Golgi-localized, gamma-ear-containing ARF-binding protein mutant and displayed reduced binding to the lectin wheat germ agglutinin [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of HUWE1

  • The aim of this study was to assess the effect of partial replacement of dietary glucose provided by corn starch with fructose on metabolism and fatty liver production in the Mule ducks [9].
 

Biological context of HUWE1

 

Anatomical context of HUWE1

  • A competing BH3-ligand derived from Bim interacted with Mcl-1 and prevented its interaction with LASU1 in HeLa cells, causing elevation of the steady-state levels of Mcl-1 [12].
  • In particular, all essential cysteine residues, the transmembrane domain as well as the cytoplasmic tail residues harbouring the signals for endocytosis and Golgi-localizing, gamma-ear-containing, ARF-binding protein (GGA)-mediated sorting at the trans-Golgi network, are highly conserved [13].
  • 5. Mule drakes have strong sexual drives as a result of high concentrations of testosterone, but, because spermatogenesis is incomplete, their semen had no sperm [14].
  • With similar food intake, Mule ducks (moderately overfed) showed global blood insulin lower than that of Pekin ducks (intensively overfed) despite similar blood sugar levels, suggesting a trend towards reduced pancreas response to glucose in Mule ducks [15].
  • This study provides evidence that overfeeding with a carbohydrate-rich corn-based diet induces a de novo hepatic lipogenesis in Mule duck which predominates over dietary lipid intake to change the lipid composition of the hepatocyte plasma membrane [16].
 

Associations of HUWE1 with chemical compounds

  • Of note, the BH3 domain of LASU1 interacted with Mcl-1 but not with Bcl-2 or Bcl-Xl [12].
  • These results suggest that a GK-like enzyme may actively contribute to glucose disposal throughout the overfeeding period in Mule ducks fed a carbohydrate-rich diet [17].
