    Structures from anomalous diffraction of native biological macromolecules (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-26
    Description: Crystal structure analyses for biological macromolecules without known structural relatives entail solving the crystallographic phase problem. Typical de novo phase evaluations depend on incorporating heavier atoms than those found natively; most commonly, multi- or single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD or SAD) experiments exploit selenomethionyl proteins. Here, we realize routine structure determination using intrinsic anomalous scattering from native macromolecules. We devised robust procedures for enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio in the slight anomalous scattering from generic native structures by combining data measured from multiple crystals at lower-than-usual x-ray energy. Using this multicrystal SAD method (5 to 13 equivalent crystals), we determined structures at modest resolution (2.8 to 2.3 angstroms) for native proteins varying in size (127 to 1148 unique residues) and number of sulfur sites (3 to 28). With no requirement for heavy-atom incorporation, such experiments provide an attractive alternative to selenomethionyl SAD experiments.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3769101/" 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/PMC3769101/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, Qun -- Dahmane, Tassadite -- Zhang, Zhen -- Assur, Zahra -- Brasch, Julia -- Shapiro, Lawrence -- Mancia, Filippo -- Hendrickson, Wayne A -- GM034102/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM062270/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM095315/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM034102/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062270/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM075026/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM095315/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 25;336(6084):1033-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1218753.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉New York Structural Biology Center, National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) X4, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22628655" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Dense chromatin activates Polycomb repressive complex 2 to regulate H3 lysine 27 methylation (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-28
    Description: Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methylation is vital for Polycomb gene silencing, a classic epigenetic phenomenon that maintains transcriptional silencing throughout cell divisions. We report that PRC2 activity is regulated by the density of its substrate nucleosome arrays. Neighboring nucleosomes activate the PRC2 complex with a fragment of their H3 histones (Ala(31) to Arg(42)). We also identified mutations on PRC2 subunit Su(z)12, which impair its binding and response to the activating peptide and its ability in establishing H3K27 trimethylation levels in vivo. In mouse embryonic stem cells, local chromatin compaction occurs before the formation of trimethylated H3K27 upon transcription cessation of the retinoic acid-regulated gene CYP26a1. We propose that PRC2 can sense the chromatin environment to exert its role in the maintenance of transcriptional states.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yuan, Wen -- Wu, Tong -- Fu, Hang -- Dai, Chao -- Wu, Hui -- Liu, Nan -- Li, Xiang -- Xu, Mo -- Zhang, Zhuqiang -- Niu, Tianhui -- Han, Zhifu -- Chai, Jijie -- Zhou, Xianghong Jasmine -- Gao, Shaorong -- Zhu, Bing -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Aug 24;337(6097):971-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1225237.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉College of Biological Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22923582" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
