Abstract 1071: Repression of ERK1/2 signaling by RanBPM
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Ran binding protein-M (RanBPM, also called RanBP9) is a nucleo-cytoplasmic protein that has been implicated in a multitude of cellular roles, including the regulation of transcription, protein modifications and stability, and extracellular receptor signaling pathways. However the precise mechanism by which RanBPM functions within the cell remains largely unknown. Previous studies in our lab have identified RanBPM as a pro-apoptotic protein that mediates its effects through modulation of Bcl-2 levels. Here we present evidence that the effect of RanBPM on apoptosis is mediated, at least in part, through regulation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. First, we determined that in addition to Bcl-2, RanBPM also regulated the expression of a second anti-apoptotic factor, Bcl-XL. siRNA-mediated knockdown of RanBPM expression led to elevated Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL mRNA expression, suggesting regulation by RanBPM at the transcriptional level. Conversely, we found that expression of RanBPM also affected ectopically expressed Bcl-2 protein levels. Together, these findings suggested that RanBPM regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels. One pathway that has previously been shown to regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels is the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. We found that RanBPM-deficient cells exhibited enhanced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and activation, while re-expression of RanBPM led to a marked decrease in the levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2. Further analyses indicated that enhanced ERK1/2 activation in RanBPM-deficient cells contributed to the elevated levels of Bcl-2 expression observed in these cells, as inhibition of ERK1/2 activation correlated with decreased Bcl-2 protein expression. These findings suggested that RanBPM acts as a novel negative regulator of ERK1/2 signaling. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
