Overexpression of mitotic arrest deficiency 2 (MAD2/MAD2L1), a pivotal component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), resulted in many types of cancer. Here we show that the depletion of tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101), causes synthetic dosage lethality (SDL) in MAD2-overexpressing cells, and we term this cell death MAD2-overexpressing interphase cell death (MOID). The induction of MOID depends on PML and DAXX mediating mitochondrial AIFM1-release. MAD2, TSG101, and AIF-PML-DAXX axis regulate mitochondria, PML nuclear bodies (NBs), and autophagy with close inter-dependent protein stability in survival cells. Loss of C-terminal phosphorylation(s) of TSG101 and closed (C-)MAD2-overexpression contribute to induce MOID. In survival cells, both MAD2 and TSG101 localize at PML NBs in interphase, and TSG101 Y390 phosphorylation is required for localization of TSG101 to PML NBs. PML release from PML NBs through PML deSUMOylation contributes to induce MOID. The post-transcriptional/translational cell death machinery and the non-canonical transcriptional regulation are intricately linked to MOID, and ER-MAM, may serve as a crucial intersection for MOID signaling.

Transcription-replication conflicts frequently occur at repetitive DNA elements involved in genome maintenance functions. The KSHV terminal repeats (TR) function as the viral episome maintenance element when bound by the viral encoded nuclear antigen LANA. Here, we show that transcription-replication conflicts occur at or near LANA binding sites in the TR.

Accumulating evidence suggests that mitogenic signaling during cell cycle arrest can lead to severe cytotoxic outcomes, such as senescence, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we explored the link between cell cycle dynamics and the formation of PML-nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), intranuclear structures known to mediate cellular stress responses. Our findings demonstrate that PML-NBs increase their number during interphase arrest.

SUMOylation plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression by promoting interactions between transcription factors and corepressors. Daxx, a multifunctional scaffold protein, specifically recognizes and binds SUMOylated transcription factors through its SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs), acting as a transcriptional corepressor. In this review, we systematically elucidate the structural basis of the interaction between Daxx and SUMO, revealing the synergistic mechanism by which Daxx SIM phosphorylation and SUMO acetylation dynamically regulate Daxx function.

An inability to replicate the genome can cause replication stress and genome instability. Here, we develop biotinylation of lac operator (LacO) array replication stress protein network identification (BLOCK-ID) in human cancer cells, a proteomic method to identify and visualize proteins at stressed replication forks. This approach identified mediators of the replication stress response, including the chromatin acetylation reader protein tripartite motif containing 24 (TRIM24).

In this study we investigate the role of Sp100 isoforms in promoting localization of the H3.3 histone chaperone HIRA to PML-NBs in human keratinocytes.
