Activator protein 2␣ (AP-2␣) induces cytotoxicity by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In this study we investigated the mechanism of apoptosis induction by AP-2␣. We found that AP-2␣ induced apoptosis efficiently in cells treated with benzyloxycarbonyl-IETD-fluoromethyl ketone or FADD-silenced cells but failed to do so in benzyloxycarbonyl-LEHD-fluoromethyl ketone-treated or apoptosis protease activation factor-1 (Apaf1)-silenced cells, suggesting the central role of mitochondria in

... 2␣-induced apoptosis. In good correlation, cells overexpressing AP-2␣ showed a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential (⌬ m ), cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO release into cytosol, and Bax translocation into mitochondria. We found that the pro-apoptotic protein Bax is important for AP-2␣-induced apoptosis as adenovirus AP2 failed to induce apoptosis in HCT116 Bax ؊/؊ cells. However, we found the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) inhibitor Smac/DIABLO may have a limited role in AP-2␣-induced apoptosis as we found the IAP member Survivin down-regulated by AP-2␣. Although the total Bax level remains unaltered, we found a time-dependent increase in the activated form of Bax in adenovirus AP2-infected cells. In addition, we show that AP-2␣ transcriptionally represses Bcl-2 by binding to its promoter both in vitro and in vivo and that this is essential for AP-2␣-induced apoptosis as ectopic expression of Bcl-2 efficiently inhibited apoptosis induced by AP-2␣ . Furthermore, we show that chemotherapy-induced endogenous AP-2␣ down-regulates Bcl-2 and induces apoptosis in an AP-2␣-dependent manner. Moreover, we demonstrate that inhibition of okadaic acid or staurosporine-sensitive pathways in AP-2␣ overexpressing breast cancer cells resulted in AP-2␣-dependent apoptosis induction. These results suggest that AP-2␣ induces apoptosis by down-regulating Bcl-2 and utilizing a bax/ cytochrome c/Apaf1/caspase 9-dependent mitochondrial pathway. Activator protein 2␣ (AP-2␣) 3 is a sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor that is required for normal growth and morphogenesis (1-3). AP-2␣ has a conserved C-terminal DNA binding motif with an integral helix-span-helix homodimerization motif and a less-con-

Advances in high-throughput sequencing have led to an unprecedented growth in genome sequences being submitted to biological databases. In particular, the sequencing of large numbers of nearly identical bacterial genomes during infection outbreaks and for other large-scale studies has resulted in a high level of redundancy in nucleotide databases and consequently in the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB). Redundancy negatively impacts on database searches by causing slower searches, an increase

... n statistical bias and cumbersome result analysis. The redundancy combined with the large data volume increases the computational costs for most reuses of UniProtKB data. All of this poses challenges for effective discovery in this wealth of data. With the continuing development of sequencing technologies, it is clear that finding ways to minimize redundancy is crucial to maintaining UniProt's essential contribution to data interpretation by our users. We have developed a methodology to identify and remove highly redundant proteomes from UniProtKB. The procedure identifies redundant proteomes by performing pairwise alignments of sets of sequences for pairs of proteomes and subsequently, applies graph theory to find dominating sets that provide a set of non-redundant proteomes with a minimal loss of information. This method was implemented for bacteria in mid-2015, resulting in a removal of 50 million proteins in UniProtKB. With every new release, this procedure is used to filter new incoming proteomes, resulting in a more scalable and scientifically valuable growth of UniProtKB.

The volume of biological database records is growing rapidly, populated by complex records drawn from heterogeneous sources. A specific challenge is duplication, that is, the presence of redundancy (records with high similarity) or inconsistency (dissimilar records that correspond to the same entity). The characteristics (which records are duplicates), impact (why duplicates are significant), and solutions (how to address duplication), are not well understood. Studies on the topic are neither

... cent nor comprehensive. In addition, other data quality issues, such as inconsistencies and inaccuracies, are also of concern in the context of biological databases. A primary focus of this paper is to present and consolidate the opinions of over 20 experts and practitioners on the topic of duplication in biological sequence databases. The results reveal that survey participants believe that duplicate records are diverse; that the negative impacts of duplicates are severe, while positive impacts depend on correct identification of duplicates; and that duplicate detection methods need to be more precise, scalable, and robust. A secondary focus is to consider other quality issues. We observe that biocuration is the key mechanism used to ensure the quality of this data, and explore the issues through a case study of curation in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot as well as an interview with an experienced biocurator. While biocuration is a vital solution for handling of data quality issues, a broader community effort is needed to provide adequate support for thorough biocuration in the face of widespread quality concerns.

Biological databases represent an extraordinary collective volume of work. Diligently built up over decades and comprising many millions of contributions from the biomedical research community, biological databases provide worldwide access to a massive number of records (also known as entries) [1]. Starting from individual laboratories, genomes are sequenced, assembled, annotated, and ultimately submitted to primary nucleotide databases such as GenBank [2], European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)

... and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) [4] (collectively known as the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, INSDC). Protein records, which are the translations of these nucleotide records, are deposited into central protein databases such as the UniProt KnowledgeBase (UniProtKB) [5] and the Protein Data Bank (PDB) [6]. Sequence records are further accumulated into different databases for more specialized purposes: RFam [7] and PFam [8] for RNA and protein families, respectively; DictyBase [9] and PomBase [10] for model organisms; as well as ArrayExpress [11] and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) [12] for gene expression profiles. These databases are selected as examples; the list is not intended to be exhaustive. However, they are representative of biological databases that have been named in the "golden set" of the 24th Nucleic Acids Research database issue (in 2016). The introduction of that issue highlights the databases that "consistently served as authoritative, comprehensive, and convenient data resources widely used by the entire community and offer some lessons on what makes a successful database" [13]. In addition, the associated information about sequences is also propagated into non-sequence databases, such as PubMed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) for scientific literature or Gene Ontology (GO) [14] for function annotations. These databases in turn benefit individual studies, many of which use these publicly available records as the basis for their own research. Inevitably, given the scale of [...]

The aim of the UniProt Knowledgebase is to provide users with a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible set of protein sequences annotated with functional information. In this article, we describe significant updates that we have made over the last two years to the resource. The number of sequences in UniProtKB has risen to approximately 190 million, despite continued work to reduce sequence redundancy at the proteome level. We have adopted new methods of assessing proteome

We continue to extract detailed annotations from the literature to add to reviewed entries and supplement these in unreviewed entries with annotations provided by automated systems such as the newly implemented Association-Rule-Based Annotator (ARBA). We have developed a credit-based publication submission interface to allow the community to contribute publications and annotations to UniProt entries. We describe how UniProtKB responded to the COVID-19 pandemic through expert curation of relevant entries that were rapidly made available to the research community through a dedicated portal.
