Sorting nexin 3 (SNX3) is a member of the sorting nexins family, which is involved in the endocytic trafficking network. SNX3 only has a PX domain, which helps endosomes bind to phosphatidyl inositol-3-phosphate and plays a role in the constitution of the retromer complex on early endosomes. Endocytosed receptors are internalized and recycled back to the plasma membrane, the Trans-Golgi Network, or are degraded in the lysosomes. The current understanding of SNX3 function in recycling Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), was demonstrated in an epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431). Therefore, we hypothesized that SNX3 is an important component of the EGF/EGFR axis in breast cancers and investigated how SNX3 gene is regulated in EGFR positive cells in response to EGF stimulation. To test this hypothesis, we used EGFR (+) MCF10A cells which has been established as an EGF responsive cell line. We performed SNX3 stimulation in a time dependent setup, collected RNA and lysates from treated cells. We observed immediate and sustained upregulation of SNX3 protein upon EGF stimulation. Interestingly, SNX3 upregulation at early time points was independent of transcriptional regulation. EGF stimulation improved protein half life. However, late response to EGF stimulation was due to transcriptional upregulation as was demonstrated by RT-qPCR. We also show that upregulation of SNX3 is also EGFR pathway specific as EGFR inhibitör AG1478 and other inhibitors that blocked EGFR downstream pathways. These observations were further confirmed in another cell line positive for EGFR; HEK293. Overall, these results show SNX3 as an important component of EGF/EGFR axis as an immediate and sustained target of EGF stimulation. Implications for these findings will be important in better understanding EGFR biology.

Characterization of sorting nexin 3 (SNX3) function Öyken, Merve; Bensan, A. Elif Erson.; Department of Biology (2020) Sorting nexin 3 (SNX3) belongs to the sorting nexins family involved in endocytic trafficking network. SNX3 only has a PX domain, which facilitates binding to the phosphatidyl inositol-3-phosphate on endosomes and has a role in formation of the retromer complex on early endosomes. Endocytosed receptors go through internalization and recycle back to plasma membrane, Trans-Golgi Network or alternatively are degraded in the lysosomes. Earlier, we found that SNX3 messenger RNA (mRNA) is upregulated via alternat...
SNX3 LOSS ENHANCES EGFR OVEREXPRESSION IN A MOUSE TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER MODEL Çırçır, Ayça; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2023-1-23) Sorting nexin 3 (SNX3) is one of the sorting nexin family proteins and recruits the retromer complex in endosomal trafficking. SNX3 binds specifically to Phosphotidylinositol3Phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) via its Phox-domain (PX) domain but can also interact with cargo proteins which are mostly membrane receptors. Internalized receptors can be recycled back to the plasma membrane or the trans Golgi network or degraded in lysosomes or proteosomes. In addition to the role of SNX3 in Wntless (Wls) and Transferr...
mESAdb: microRNA expression and sequence analysis database. Kaya, KD; Karakülah, G; Yakicier, CM; Acar, Aybar Can; Konu, O (2011-01-01) MicroRNA expression and sequence analysis database (http://konulab.fen.bilkent.edu.tr/mirna/) (mESAdb) is a regularly updated database for the multivariate analysis of sequences and expression of microRNAs from multiple taxa. mESAdb is modular and has a user interface implemented in PHP and JavaScript and coupled with statistical analysis and visualization packages written for the R language. The database primarily comprises mature microRNA sequences and their target data, along with selected human, mouse a...
Multi-Criteria Sorting with Category Size Restrictions Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Mousseau, Vincent; ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN (2017-01-01) We consider the multi-criteria sorting problem where alternatives that are evaluated on multiple criteria are assigned into ordered categories. We focus on the sorting problem with category size restrictions, where the decision maker (DM) may have some concerns or constraints on the number of alternatives that should be assigned to some of the categories. We develop an approach based on the UTADIS method that fits an additive utility function to represent the decision maker's preferences. We introduce addit...
Concurrency control in distributed databases through time intervals and short-term locks Halıcı, Uğur (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1989) A method for concurrency control in distributed database management systems that increases the level of concurrent execution of transactions, called ordering by serialization numbers (OSN), is proposed. The OSN method works in the certifier model and uses time-interval techniques in conjunction with short-term locks to provide serializability and prevent deadlocks. The scheduler is distributed, and the standard transaction execution policy is assumed, that is, the read and write operations are issued contin...
