ASPSCR1-TFE3 reprograms transcription by organizing enhancer loops around hexameric VCP/p97

A. Pozner, S. P. Verma, L. Li, S. Wang, J. J. Barrott, M. L. Nelson, J. S. E. Yu, G. L. Negri, S. Colborne, C. S. Hughes, J.-F. Zhu, S. L. Lambert, L. S. Carroll, K. Smith-Fry, M. G. Stewart, , K. B. Jones

This study identifies VCP/p97 as an obligate co-factor of ASPSCR1-TFE3, showing it organizes enhancer loops to drive oncogenic transcription in ASPS and RCC.

A PKA Inhibitor Motif within Smoothened Controls Hedgehog Signal Transduction

J. T. Happ, C. D. Arveseth, J. Bruystens, D. Bertinetti, I. B. Nelson, C. Olivieri, D. S. Hedeen, J.-F. Zhu, J. L. Capener, J. W. Bröckel, L. Vu, C. C. King, V. L. Ruiz-Perez, G. Veglia, F. W. Herberg, , B. R. Myers

This study identifies a PKA inhibitor motif in Smoothened that blocks PKA activity, enabling GLI activation in the Hedgehog pathway, revealing a mechanism similar to the Wnt cascade.

Smoothened Transduces Hedgehog Signals via Activity-Dependent Sequestration of PKA Catalytic Subunits

C. D. Arveseth, J. T. Happ, D. S. Hedeen, J.-F. Zhu, J. L. Capener, D. K. Shaw, I. Deshpande, J. Liang, J. Xu, S. L. Stubben, I. B. Nelson, M. F. Walker, N. J. Krogan, D. J. Grunwald, R. Hüttenhain, , B. R. Myers

This study reveals that Smoothened (SMO) activates GLI transcription factors by sequestering PKA catalytic subunits at the membrane, bypassing traditional GPCR signaling mechanisms.
