    Abstract Fbxw7 is a tumor suppressor mutated in a wide range of human cancers. It serves as the substrate recognition component of SCF E3 ubiquitin ligases, and intensive effort was made to identify its substrates. Some of the substrates are central regulators of the cell cycle, cell fate determination, and cellular survival. Unlike the many efforts aimed at identifying novel targets, little is known about the regulation of Fbw7 isoform expression. In this study, we examined the mRNA expression of different FBXW7 isoforms during the cell cycle and after exposure to various stress stimuli. We observed that Fbw7β is induced by all the stress stimuli tested, mostly, but not exclusively, in a p53-dependent manner. In fact, FBXW7β was found to be the most potently induced p53 target gene in HCT-116 cells. Expression of FBXWα and γ is p53-independent and their responsiveness to most stress stimuli is limited. Furthermore, their pattern of stress responsiveness is very different from that of the β isoform. Under certain conditions, the same genotoxic agent stimulates induction of β and repression of α. Analysis of FACS-sorted cells in specific phases of the cell cycle by using fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator (FUCCI), showed a significant repression of the γ isoform during the S phase of normal cycling HCT-116 cells. Altogether, this study suggests differential regulation of the 3 Fbw7 isoforms.

    Abstract The effect of sentence context on the processing of different aspects of meaning of unambiguous nouns by the two cerebral hemispheres was examined. Participants performed a lexical decision task on target words following two primes, an unambiguous noun preceded by an incomplete sentence. Priming sentences were consistent with either the dominant or the subordinate aspect of meaning of their final unambiguous word. Short and long SOAs were used. A principal finding of this study was that, when compared to unrelated aspects of meaning, for both the short and the long SOAs, the dominant and subordinate aspects of meaning of the unambiguous words were activated regardless of context in both hemispheres. However, the activation of the subordinate aspect of meaning of unambiguous words appears to be more sensitive to sentential context, especially when the unambiguous word is being processed by the left hemisphere.
