We originally reported that a novel protein C53 (also known as Cdk5rap3 and LZAP) potentiates DNA damage-induced cell death by modulating the G2/M checkpoint. More recently, Wang et al. (2007) found that C53/LZAP may function as a tumor suppressor by way of inhibiting NF-kB signaling. We re- port here the identification of C53 protein as a novel regulator of Cdkl activation. We found that knockdown of C53 protein causes delayed Cdkl activation and mitotic entry. During DNA damage response, activation of checkpoint kinase 1 and 2 (Chkl and Chk2) is partially inhibited by C53 overexpression. Intriguingly, we found that C53 inter- acts with Chkl and antagonizes its function. Moreover, a portion of C53 protein is localized at the centrosome, and centrosome-targeting C53 potently promotes local Cdkl activation. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that C53 is a novel negative regulator of checkpoint response. By counteracting Chkl, C53 promotes Cdkl activation and mitotic entry in both unperturbed cell-cycle progression and DNA damage response.展开更多

The formula of GGDP is: GGDP = GDP--the loss of natural resources environment relegation cost + comprehensive utilized value of waste. Based on this, the study employed vector autoregressive (VAR) model to predict the value of GGDP and other economic variables on condition that there was no Shanghai World Expo. Then Influence of Expo is defined as the rate of increase of GGDP. The result demonstrated that Shanghai World Expo had accelerated the growth rate of GGDP vastly with the elimination of effect of Beijing Olympics. Additionally, the quantitative analysis between GGDP and other economic variables suggested GGDP would replace GDP to evaluate the development of economy. Finally, the paper proposed that incidents like World Expo can enhance the level of influence for a country and that post-impact of Shanghai Expo should continue to be used to promote GGDP and that GGDP should serve as one of the indicators in assessment of political achievement.展开更多
