    Initiation of Genome Instability and Preneoplastic Processes through Loss of Fhit Expression

    Saldivar Joshua C. , Miuma Satoshi , Bene Jessica , Hosseini Seyed Ali , Shibata Hidetaka , Sun Jin , Wheeler Linda J. , Mathews Christopher K. , Huebner Kay

    … A frequent, perhaps earliest, genetic alteration in preneoplasias is deletion within the fragile FRA3B/FHIT locus, leading to loss of Fhit protein expression. … Here, we show in normal, transformed, and cancer-derived cell lines that Fhit-depletion causes replication stress-induced DNA double-strand breaks. … Depletion of Fhit did not activate the DNA damage response nor cause cell cycle arrest, allowing continued cell proliferation and ongoing chromosomal instability. …

    Membrane Protein Rim21 Plays a Central Role in Sensing Ambient pH in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Obara Keisuke , Yamamoto Hayashi , Kihara Akio

    … This finding strongly suggests that Rim21 is the pH-sensor protein and that Dfg16 and Rim9 play auxiliary functions through maintaining the Rim21 level and assisting its plasma membrane localization. … Even without external alkalization, the Rim101 pathway was activated in a Rim21-dependent manner by either protonophore treatment or depletion of phosphatidylserine in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, both of which caused plasma membrane depolarization like the external alkalization. …
