    Description: Human Argonaute (Ago) proteins are essential components of the RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). Argonaute 2 (Ago2) has a P-element-induced wimpy testis (PIWI) domain, which folds like RNase H and is responsible for target RNA cleavage in RNA interference. Proteins such as Dicer, TRBP, MOV10, RHA, RCK/p54 and KIAA1093 associate with Ago proteins and participate in small RNA processing, RISC loading and localization of Ago proteins in the cytoplasmic messenger RNA processing bodies. However, mechanisms that regulate RNA interference remain obscure. Here we report physical interactions between Ago2 and the alpha-(P4H-alpha(I)) and beta-(P4H-beta) subunits of the type I collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase (C-P4H(I)). Mass spectrometric analysis identified hydroxylation of the endogenous Ago2 at proline 700. In vitro, both Ago2 and Ago4 seem to be more efficiently hydroxylated than Ago1 and Ago3 by recombinant human C-P4H(I). Importantly, human cells depleted of P4H-alpha(I) or P4H-beta by short hairpin RNA and P4H-alpha(I) null mouse embryonic fibroblast cells showed reduced stability of Ago2 and impaired short interfering RNA programmed RISC activity. Furthermore, mutation of proline 700 to alanine also resulted in destabilization of Ago2, thus linking Ago2 P700 and hydroxylation at this residue to its stability regulation. These findings identify hydroxylation as a post-translational modification important for Ago2 stability and effective RNA interference.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2661850/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2661850/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Qi, Hank H -- Ongusaha, Pat P -- Myllyharju, Johanna -- Cheng, Dongmei -- Pakkanen, Outi -- Shi, Yujiang -- Lee, Sam W -- Peng, Junmin -- Shi, Yang -- AG025688/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- GM53874/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM053874/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM053874-15/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Sep 18;455(7211):421-4. doi: 10.1038/nature07186.

    Description: The rice Xa21 gene confers immunity to most strains of the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of biologically active fractions from Xoo supernatants led to the identification of a 194-amino acid protein designated Ax21 (activator of XA21-mediated immunity). A sulfated, 17-amino acid synthetic peptide (axY(S)22) derived from the N-terminal region of Ax21 is sufficient for activity, whereas peptides lacking tyrosine sulfation are biologically inactive. Using coimmunoprecipitation, we found that XA21 is required for axY(S)22 binding and recognition. axY(S)22 is 100% conserved in all analyzed Xanthomonas species, confirming that Ax21 is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern and that XA21 is a pattern recognition receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Sang-Won -- Han, Sang-Wook -- Sririyanum, Malinee -- Park, Chang-Jin -- Seo, Young-Su -- Ronald, Pamela C -- GM55962/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Nov 6;326(5954):850-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1173438.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19892983" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Akt signaling plays a central role in many biological functions, such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. Because Akt (also known as protein kinase B) resides primarily in the cytosol, it is not known how these signaling molecules are recruited to the plasma membrane and subsequently activated by growth factor stimuli. We found that the protein kinase Akt undergoes lysine-63 chain ubiquitination, which is important for Akt membrane localization and phosphorylation. TRAF6 was found to be a direct E3 ligase for Akt and was essential for Akt ubiquitination, membrane recruitment, and phosphorylation upon growth-factor stimulation. The human cancer-associated Akt mutant displayed an increase in Akt ubiquitination, in turn contributing to the enhancement of Akt membrane localization and phosphorylation. Thus, Akt ubiquitination is an important step for oncogenic Akt activation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3008763/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3008763/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Wei-Lei -- Wang, Jing -- Chan, Chia-Hsin -- Lee, Szu-Wei -- Campos, Alejandro D -- Lamothe, Betty -- Hur, Lana -- Grabiner, Brian C -- Lin, Xin -- Darnay, Bryant G -- Lin, Hui-Kuan -- R01 CA149321/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA149321-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Aug 28;325(5944):1134-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1175065.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, The University of Texas M.

    Notes: Microhardness indentation was used to determine the hardness and the microcrack anisotropy in In-doped gallium arsenide as a function of the doping level, indentation load and temperature. The hardness decreased with temperature from 600 kg/mm2 at room temperature to 50 kg/mm2 at 400 °C. There was no apparent influence of indium doping on the microhardness up to the maximum doping level, 0.41 at. %. However, the [110] and [1¯10] radial cracks emanating from the intersection of the Vickers diamond indentation diagonals varied significantly with temperature (in the range of room temperature to 250 °C) and doping level (up to a maximum of 0.41 at. %). Both crack orientations exhibited a maximum of the crack length at approximately 150 °C. The maximum in the crack length decreased and the spread of the crack lengths with temperature broadened out as the doping increased; the longest crack was 80×10−6 m for the undoped sample and 60×10−6 m for the sample doped to 0.41 at. %.The radial crack lengths varied with load as K=PCn, where n=0.65 at all temperatures except 200 °C, in which case n=0.77. This larger value of n has been associated with a transition in deformation mode at 1N. Scanning electron microscopy of the indentations showed that the [1¯10] cracks were discontinuous, suggesting that healing of these cracks may have occurred.

    Notes: The emission from KCl@B:Sb3+ and KI@B:Sb3+ excited in the A-absorption band was measured as a function of exciting photon energy and temperature. The A-band excitation produced two emission bands for KCl@B:Sb3+ and a single band for KI@B:Sb3+. The definitive assignment of these bands is presented in terms of the adiabatic potential energy surface (APES), in which the effect of the spin–orbit interaction (SO) on the Jahn–Teller (JT) interaction coupling to the Eg mode is taken into account. The polarization spectrum and the angular dependence of polarization ratio of the A-band emission were also studied to determine the symmetry axes of the Sb3+ –vacancies complex. The results indicate that the anisotropy is associated with the relaxed excited state (RES) of Sb3+. It is also found that the JT interaction coupling to the T2g mode and the vacancies, situated in the next-nearest-neighbor (nnn) and the nearest-neighbor (nn) positions to the Sb3+ ion, give rise to an additive perturbation.

    Notes: Optical switches have been fabricated from InGaAs/GaAs shallow quantum well structures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The photocurrent spectra exhibited very sharp room-temperature exciton peaks around 900 nm. Quantum well modulators consisting of such a shallow system showed contrast ratios larger than 2:1 and no sign of strain-induced degradations. The epitaxial quality, however, had some interesting dependence on the choice of substrate dopant.

    Notes: A self-electro-optic effect device (SEED) epistructure grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is demonstrated. The symmetric SEED using GaAs/Al0.04Ga0.96As shallow quantum well (SQW) exhibits a contrast ratio of 2.9 at 5 V bias with 50 pairs of GaAs wells. This high contrast results from the low background carrier concentration of absorption region which is obtained by the temperature controlled compensation of the acceptors and donors. The absorption data suggest that the MOVPE technique is comparable to the MBE technique in growing the high performance SQW epistructure.

    Notes: Abstract The electron energy loss (EEL) spectra of TiC (111) were measured over a wide range of electron primary energies. The electron energy losses below 16 eV were analyzed using the theoretical band calculations of Price and Cooper [11]. The volume and surface plasma excitations were identified from their electron primary energy dependence. Energy losses due to core electrons autoinization effects were identified above 35 eV. We observed a difference in the electronic structure of the surface vs the bulk of TiC. The temperature dependence of the EEL spectra was studied between 300 to 1250 K. The reaction of the TiC surface with ethylene and oxygen was also investigated. The ethylene bonding to the TiC surface was found to be very weak. There is evidence of the formation of surface defects on the TiC (111) surface at high temperatures.
