INT6/eIF3e is a highly conserved component of the translation initiation complex that interacts with both the 26S proteasome and the COP9 signalosome, two complexes implicated in
ubiquitin
-mediated protein degradation. The INT6 gene was originally identified as the insertion site of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), and later shown to be involved in human tumorigenesis. Here we show that depletion of the Drosophila orthologue of INT6 (Int6) results in short mitotic spindles and deformed centromeres and kinetochores with low intra-kinetochore distance. Poleward flux of microtubule subunits during metaphase is reduced, although fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) demonstrates that microtubules remain dynamic both near the kinetochores and at spindle poles. Mitotic progression is delayed during metaphase due to the activity of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). Interestingly, a deubiquitinated form of the
kinesin
Klp67A (a putative orthologue of human Kif18A) accumulates near the kinetochores in Int6-depleted cells. Consistent with this finding, Klp67A overexpression mimics the Int6 RNAi phenotype. Furthermore, simultaneous depletion of Int6 and Klp67A results in a phenotype identical to RNAi of just Klp67A, which indicates that Klp67A deficiency is epistatic over Int6 deficiency. We propose that Int6-mediated ubiquitination is required to control the activity of Klp67A. In the absence of this control, excess of Klp67A at the kinetochore suppresses microtubule plus-end polymerization, which in turn results in reduced microtubule flux, spindle shortening, and centromere/kinetochore deformation.

Faithful chromosome segregation requires proper chromosome congression at prometaphase and dynamic maintenance of the aligned chromosomes at metaphase. Chromosome missegregation can result in aneuploidy, birth defects and cancer. The kinetochore-bound KMN network and the
kinesin
motor CENP-E are critical for kinetochore-microtubule attachment and chromosome stability. The linear
ubiquitin
chain assembly complex (LUBAC) attaches linear
ubiquitin
chains to substrates, with well-established roles in immune response. Here, we identify LUBAC as a key player of chromosome alignment during mitosis. LUBAC catalyzes linear ubiquitination of the kinetochore motor CENP-E, which is specifically required for the localization of CENP-E at attached kinetochores, but not unattached ones. KNL1 acts as a receptor of linear
ubiquitin
chains to anchor CENP-E at attached kinetochores in prometaphase and metaphase. Thus, linear ubiquitination promotes chromosome congression and dynamic chromosome alignment by coupling the dynamic kinetochore microtubule receptor CENP-E to the static one, the KMN network.

Reactive oxygen species, particularly hydrogen peroxide (H

), can induce proliferation inhibition and death of A549 cells via oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has effect on DNA methylation. Oxidative stress and DNA methylation feature a common denominator: The one carbon cycle. To explore the inhibitory mechanism of H

for 24 h, as adenocarcinoma is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The DNA methylation profile was constructed using reduced representation bisulphite sequencing, which identified 29,755 differentially methylated sites (15,365 upregulated and 14,390 downregulated), and 1,575 differentially methylated regions located in the gene promoters were identified using the methylKit. Analysis of the assocaition between gene expression and methylation levels revealed that several genes were downregulated and hypermethylated, including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3, denticleless E3

protein ligase homolog, centromere protein (CENP)F,
kinesin
