3'-Untranslated region (UTR) shortening of mRNAs via alternative polyadenylation (APA) has important ramifications for gene expression. By using proximal APA sites and switching to shorter 3'-UTRs, proliferating cells avoid miRNA-mediated repression. Such APA and 3'-UTR shortening events may explain the basis of some of the proto-oncogene activation cases observed in cancer cells. In this study, we investigated whether 17 beta-estradiol (E2), a potent proliferation signal, induces APA and 3'-UTR shortening to activate proto-oncogenes in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers. Our initial probe based screen of independent expression arrays suggested upregulation and 3'-UTR shortening of an essential regulator of DNA replication, CDC6 (cell division cycle 6), upon E2 treatment. We further confirmed the E2- and ER-dependent upregulation and 3'UTR shortening of CDC6, which lead to increased CDC6 protein levels and higher BrdU incorporation. Consequently, miRNA binding predictions and dual luciferase assays suggested that 3'-UTR shortening of CDC6 was a mechanism to avoid 3'-UTR-dependent negative regulations. Hence, we demonstrated CDC6 APA induction by the proliferative effect of E2 in ER+ cells and provided new insights into the complex regulation of APA. E2-induced APA is likely to be an important but previously overlooked mechanism of E2-responsive gene expression.

Estrogen-induced upregulation and 3’-UTR shortening of CDC6 Akman, H. Begüm; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2013) Alternative polyadenylation (APA) may cause mRNA 3’-UTR (untranslated region) shortening in different physiological conditions and/or disease states. About half of mammalian genes use alternative cleavage and polyadenylation to generate multiple mRNA isoforms differing in their 3′-UTRs. Consequently, 3’-UTR shortening of mRNAs via APA has important consequences for gene expression. Studies showed that, by preferential use of proximal APA sites and switching to shorter 3’-UTRs, proliferating cells can avoid ...
3 ' UTR shortening and EGF signaling: implications for breast cancer AKMAN, Hesna Begum; ÖYKEN, MERVE; TUNCER, Taner; Can, Tolga; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2015-12-15) Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a role in gene expression regulation generally by shortening of 3'UTRs (untranslated regions) upon proliferative signals and relieving microRNA-mediated repression. Owing to high proliferative indices of triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs), we hypothesized APA to cause 3'UTR length changes in this aggressive subgroup of breast cancers. Our probe-based meta-analysis approach identified 3'UTR length alterations where the significant majority was shortening events (si...
Interplay between 15-lipoxygenase-1 and metastasis-associated antigen 1 in the metastatic potential of colorectal cancer Tuncer, S.; ÇAĞATAY, SİBEL; Keskus, A. G.; Colakoglu, M.; KONU KARAKAYALI, ÖZLEN; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2016-08-01) ObjectivesMetastasis-associated antigen 1 (MTA1) is implicated in metastasis while 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) reduces cell motility, when re-expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to understand any potential interplay between MTA1 and 15-LOX-1 in CRC metastasis.
APA isoform diversity in triple negative breast cancers AKMAN TUNCER, HESNA BEGÜM; ÖYKEN, MERVE; AĞUŞ, HIZLAN HINCAL; Erdem, Murat; Çiçek, Esra; Can, Tolga; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2017-04-05) Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a role in gene expression regulation generally by shortening of 3'UTRs and relieving microRNA-mediated repression. Therefore, APA is gaining increased attention as a potential mechanism to activate oncogenes. Owing to high proliferative indices of triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs), we hypothesized APA to cause 3'UTR length changes in this aggressive subgroup of breast cancers. Our probe-based meta-analysis approach identified 3'UTR length alterations where the si...
Tyr266 in the sixth transmembrane domain of the yeast alpha-factor receptor plays key roles in receptor activation and ligand specificity. Lee, BK; Lee, YH; Hauser, M; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Khare, S; Naider, F; Becker, JM (2002-11-19) To identify interactions between Ste2p, a G protein-coupled receptor of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its tridecapepticle ligand, alpha-factor (WHWLQLKPGQPMY), a variety of alpha-factor analogues were used in conjunction with site-directed mutagenesis of a targeted portion of Ste2p transmembrane domain six. Alanine substitution of residues in the 262-270 region of Ste2p did not affect pheromone binding or signal transduction, except for the Y266A mutant, which did not transduce signal yet exhibite...
