    The mutation spectrum revealed by paired genome sequences from a lung cancer patient (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-28
    Description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small-cell lung carcinomas in smokers being the predominant form of the disease. Although previous studies have identified important common somatic mutations in lung cancers, they have primarily focused on a limited set of genes and have thus provided a constrained view of the mutational spectrum. Recent cancer sequencing efforts have used next-generation sequencing technologies to provide a genome-wide view of mutations in leukaemia, breast cancer and cancer cell lines. Here we present the complete sequences of a primary lung tumour (60x coverage) and adjacent normal tissue (46x). Comparing the two genomes, we identify a wide variety of somatic variations, including 〉50,000 high-confidence single nucleotide variants. We validated 530 somatic single nucleotide variants in this tumour, including one in the KRAS proto-oncogene and 391 others in coding regions, as well as 43 large-scale structural variations. These constitute a large set of new somatic mutations and yield an estimated 17.7 per megabase genome-wide somatic mutation rate. Notably, we observe a distinct pattern of selection against mutations within expressed genes compared to non-expressed genes and in promoter regions up to 5 kilobases upstream of all protein-coding genes. Furthermore, we observe a higher rate of amino acid-changing mutations in kinase genes. We present a comprehensive view of somatic alterations in a single lung tumour, and provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of distinct selective pressures present within the tumour environment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, William -- Jiang, Zhaoshi -- Liu, Jinfeng -- Haverty, Peter M -- Guan, Yinghui -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Yue, Peng -- Zhang, Yan -- Pant, Krishna P -- Bhatt, Deepali -- Ha, Connie -- Johnson, Stephanie -- Kennemer, Michael I -- Mohan, Sankar -- Nazarenko, Igor -- Watanabe, Colin -- Sparks, Andrew B -- Shames, David S -- Gentleman, Robert -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- Stern, Howard -- Pandita, Ajay -- Ballinger, Dennis G -- Drmanac, Radoje -- Modrusan, Zora -- Seshagiri, Somasekar -- Zhang, Zemin -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 27;465(7297):473-7. doi: 10.1038/nature09004.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Genentech Inc., South San Francisco, California 94080, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20505728" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A mechanically stabilized receptor-ligand flex-bond important in the vasculature (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-08-21
    Description: Haemostasis in the arteriolar circulation mediated by von Willebrand factor (VWF) binding to platelets is an example of an adhesive interaction that must withstand strong hydrodynamic forces acting on cells. VWF is a concatenated, multifunctional protein that has binding sites for platelets as well as subendothelial collagen. Binding of the A1 domain in VWF to the glycoprotein Ib alpha subunit (GPIbalpha) on the surface of platelets mediates crosslinking of platelets to one another and the formation of a platelet plug for arterioles. The importance of VWF is illustrated by its mutation in von Willebrand disease, a bleeding diathesis. Here, we describe a novel mechanochemical specialization of the A1-GPIbalpha bond for force-resistance. We have developed a method that enables, for the first time, repeated measurements of the binding and unbinding of a receptor and ligand in a single molecule (ReaLiSM). We demonstrate two states of the receptor-ligand bond, that is, a flex-bond. One state is seen at low force; a second state begins to engage at 10 pN with a approximately 20-fold longer lifetime and greater force resistance. The lifetimes of the two states, how force exponentiates lifetime, and the kinetics of switching between the two states are all measured. For the first time, single-molecule measurements on this system are in agreement with bulk phase measurements. The results have important implications not only for how platelets bound to VWF are able to resist force to plug arterioles, but also how increased flow activates platelet plug formation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117310/" 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/PMC4117310/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, Jongseong -- Zhang, Cheng-Zhong -- Zhang, Xiaohui -- Springer, Timothy A -- HL-48675/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL048675/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 19;466(7309):992-5. doi: 10.1038/nature09295.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Immune Disease Institute, Children's Hospital Boston and Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, 3 Blackfan Circle, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20725043" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Focused evolution of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies revealed by structures and deep sequencing (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-13
    Description: Antibody VRC01 is a human immunoglobulin that neutralizes about 90% of HIV-1 isolates. To understand how such broadly neutralizing antibodies develop, we used x-ray crystallography and 454 pyrosequencing to characterize additional VRC01-like antibodies from HIV-1-infected individuals. Crystal structures revealed a convergent mode of binding for diverse antibodies to the same CD4-binding-site epitope. A functional genomics analysis of expressed heavy and light chains revealed common pathways of antibody-heavy chain maturation, confined to the IGHV1-2*02 lineage, involving dozens of somatic changes, and capable of pairing with different light chains. Broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity associated with VRC01-like antibodies thus involves the evolution of antibodies to a highly affinity-matured state required to recognize an invariant viral structure, with lineages defined from thousands of sequences providing a genetic roadmap of their development.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3516815/" 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/PMC3516815/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wu, Xueling -- Zhou, Tongqing -- Zhu, Jiang -- Zhang, Baoshan -- Georgiev, Ivelin -- Wang, Charlene -- Chen, Xuejun -- Longo, Nancy S -- Louder, Mark -- McKee, Krisha -- O'Dell, Sijy -- Perfetto, Stephen -- Schmidt, Stephen D -- Shi, Wei -- Wu, Lan -- Yang, Yongping -- Yang, Zhi-Yong -- Yang, Zhongjia -- Zhang, Zhenhai -- Bonsignori, Mattia -- Crump, John A -- Kapiga, Saidi H -- Sam, Noel E -- Haynes, Barton F -- Simek, Melissa -- Burton, Dennis R -- Koff, Wayne C -- Doria-Rose, Nicole A -- Connors, Mark -- NISC Comparative Sequencing Program -- Mullikin, James C -- Nabel, Gary J -- Roederer, Mario -- Shapiro, Lawrence -- Kwong, Peter D -- Mascola, John R -- 5U19 AI 067854-06/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI033292/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI067854/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Sep 16;333(6049):1593-602. doi: 10.1126/science.1207532.

    Viral infection. Prevention and cure of rotavirus infection via TLR5/NLRC4-mediated production of IL-22 and IL-18 (2014)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-15
    Description: Activators of innate immunity may have the potential to combat a broad range of infectious agents. We report that treatment with bacterial flagellin prevented rotavirus (RV) infection in mice and cured chronically RV-infected mice. Protection was independent of adaptive immunity and interferon (IFN, type I and II) and required flagellin receptors Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and NOD-like receptor C4 (NLRC4). Flagellin-induced activation of TLR5 on dendritic cells elicited production of the cytokine interleukin-22 (IL-22), which induced a protective gene expression program in intestinal epithelial cells. Flagellin also induced NLRC4-dependent production of IL-18 and immediate elimination of RV-infected cells. Administration of IL-22 and IL-18 to mice fully recapitulated the capacity of flagellin to prevent or eliminate RV infection and thus holds promise as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, Benyue -- Chassaing, Benoit -- Shi, Zhenda -- Uchiyama, Robin -- Zhang, Zhan -- Denning, Timothy L -- Crawford, Sue E -- Pruijssers, Andrea J -- Iskarpatyoti, Jason A -- Estes, Mary K -- Dermody, Terence S -- Ouyang, Wenjun -- Williams, Ifor R -- Vijay-Kumar, Matam -- Gewirtz, Andrew T -- AI038296/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI080656/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI107943/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK061417/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK064730/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK56338/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI038296/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI038296/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Nov 14;346(6211):861-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1256999.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Inflammation, Immunity and Infection, Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA. ; Center for Inflammation, Immunity and Infection, Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA.

    Structural basis for the subunit assembly of the anaphase-promoting complex (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-02-11
    Description: The anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) is an unusually large E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for regulating defined cell cycle transitions. Information on how its 13 constituent proteins are assembled, and how they interact with co-activators, substrates and regulatory proteins is limited. Here, we describe a recombinant expression system that allows the reconstitution of holo APC/C and its sub-complexes that, when combined with electron microscopy, mass spectrometry and docking of crystallographic and homology-derived coordinates, provides a precise definition of the organization and structure of all essential APC/C subunits, resulting in a pseudo-atomic model for 70% of the APC/C. A lattice-like appearance of the APC/C is generated by multiple repeat motifs of most APC/C subunits. Three conserved tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) subunits (Cdc16, Cdc23 and Cdc27) share related superhelical homo-dimeric architectures that assemble to generate a quasi-symmetrical structure. Our structure explains how this TPR sub-complex, together with additional scaffolding subunits (Apc1, Apc4 and Apc5), coordinate the juxtaposition of the catalytic and substrate recognition module (Apc2, Apc11 and Apc10 (also known as Doc1)), and TPR-phosphorylation sites, relative to co-activator, regulatory proteins and substrates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schreiber, Anne -- Stengel, Florian -- Zhang, Ziguo -- Enchev, Radoslav I -- Kong, Eric H -- Morris, Edward P -- Robinson, Carol V -- da Fonseca, Paula C A -- Barford, David -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 Feb 10;470(7333):227-32. doi: 10.1038/nature09756.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Structural Biology, Institute of Cancer Research, Chester Beatty Laboratories, 237 Fulham Road, London, SW3 6JB, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307936" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Tumour-infiltrating Gr-1+ myeloid cells antagonize senescence in cancer (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-08-27
    Description: Aberrant activation of oncogenes or loss of tumour suppressor genes opposes malignant transformation by triggering a stable arrest in cell growth, which is termed cellular senescence. This process is finely tuned by both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms that regulate the entry of tumour cells to senescence. Whether tumour-infiltrating immune cells can oppose senescence is unknown. Here we show that at the onset of senescence, PTEN null prostate tumours in mice are massively infiltrated by a population of CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid cells that protect a fraction of proliferating tumour cells from senescence, thus sustaining tumour growth. Mechanistically, we found that Gr-1(+) cells antagonize senescence in a paracrine manner by interfering with the senescence-associated secretory phenotype of the tumour through the secretion of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA). Strikingly, Pten-loss-induced cellular senescence was enhanced in vivo when Il1ra knockout myeloid cells were adoptively transferred to PTEN null mice. Therapeutically, docetaxel-induced senescence and efficacy were higher in PTEN null tumours when the percentage of tumour-infiltrating CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid cells was reduced using an antagonist of CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2). Taken together, our findings identify a novel non-cell-autonomous network, established by innate immunity, that controls senescence evasion and chemoresistance. Targeting this network provides novel opportunities for cancer therapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Di Mitri, Diletta -- Toso, Alberto -- Chen, Jing Jing -- Sarti, Manuela -- Pinton, Sandra -- Jost, Tanja Rezzonico -- D'Antuono, Rocco -- Montani, Erica -- Garcia-Escudero, Ramon -- Guccini, Ilaria -- Da Silva-Alvarez, Sabela -- Collado, Manuel -- Eisenberger, Mario -- Zhang, Zhe -- Catapano, Carlo -- Grassi, Fabio -- Alimonti, Andrea -- England -- Nature. 2014 Nov 6;515(7525):134-7. doi: 10.1038/nature13638.
