    Description: The Agrobacterium VirB/D4 transport system mediates the transfer of a nucleoprotein T complex into plant cells, leading to crown gall disease. In addition, several Virulence proteins must somehow be transported to fulfill a function in planta. Here, we used fusions between Cre recombinase and VirE2 or VirF to directly demonstrate protein translocation into plant cells. Transport of the proteins was monitored by a Cre-mediated in planta recombination event resulting in a selectable phenotype and depended on the VirB/D4 transport system but did not require transferred DNA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vergunst, A C -- Schrammeijer, B -- den Dulk-Ras, A -- de Vlaam, C M -- Regensburg-Tuink, T J -- Hooykaas, P J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 3;290(5493):979-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences, Leiden University, Clusius Laboratory, Wassenaarseweg 64, 2333 AL, Leiden, Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11062129" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Dysfunction of the tubby protein results in maturity-onset obesity in mice. Tubby has been implicated as a transcription regulator, but details of the molecular mechanism underlying its function remain unclear. Here we show that tubby functions in signal transduction from heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors. Tubby localizes to the plasma membrane by binding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate through its carboxyl terminal "tubby domain." X-ray crystallography reveals the atomic-level basis of this interaction and implicates tubby domains as phosphorylated-phosphatidyl- inositol binding factors. Receptor-mediated activation of G protein alphaq (Galphaq) releases tubby from the plasma membrane through the action of phospholipase C-beta, triggering translocation of tubby to the cell nucleus. The localization of tubby-like protein 3 (TULP3) is similarly regulated. These data suggest that tubby proteins function as membrane-bound transcription regulators that translocate to the nucleus in response to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, providing a direct link between G-protein signaling and the regulation of gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Santagata, S -- Boggon, T J -- Baird, C L -- Gomez, C A -- Zhao, J -- Shan, W S -- Myszka, D G -- Shapiro, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jun 15;292(5524):2041-50.

    Description: Lamellipodia are thin, veil-like extensions at the edge of cells that contain a dynamic array of actin filaments. We describe an approach for analyzing spatial regulation of actin polymerization and depolymerization in vivo in which we tracked single molecules of actin fused to the green fluorescent protein. Polymerization and the lifetime of actin filaments in lamellipodia were measured with high spatial precision. Basal polymerization and depolymerization occurred throughout lamellipodia with largely constant kinetics, and polymerization was promoted within one micron of the lamellipodium tip. Most of the actin filaments in the lamellipodium were generated by polymerization away from the tip.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Watanabe, Naoki -- Mitchison, Timothy J -- GM48027/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Feb 8;295(5557):1083-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. naoki_watanabe@hms.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11834838" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) hypothesis suggests that pairs of proteins known as vesicle (v-) SNAREs and target membrane (t-) SNAREs interact specifically to control and mediate intracellular membrane fusion events. Here, cells expressing the interacting domains of v- and t-SNAREs on the cell surface were found to fuse spontaneously, demonstrating that SNAREs are sufficient to fuse biological membranes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hu, Chuan -- Ahmed, Mahiuddin -- Melia, Thomas J -- Sollner, Thomas H -- Mayer, Thomas -- Rothman, James E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 13;300(5626):1745-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics Program, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, Box 251, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12805548" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Type III secreted "effector" proteins of bacterial pathogens play central roles in virulence, yet are notoriously difficult to identify. We used an in vivo genetic screen to identify 13 effectors secreted by the type III apparatus (called Hrp, for "hypersensitive response and pathogenicity") of the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. Although sharing little overall homology, the amino-terminal regions of these effectors had strikingly similar amino acid compositions. This feature facilitated the bioinformatic prediction of 38 P. syringae effectors, including 15 previously unknown proteins. The secretion of two of these putative effectors was shown to be type III--dependent. Effectors showed high interstrain variation, supporting a role for some effectors in adaptation to different hosts.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guttman, David S -- Vinatzer, Boris A -- Sarkar, Sara F -- Ranall, Max V -- Kettler, Gregory -- Greenberg, Jean T -- GM020024/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Mar 1;295(5560):1722-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Botany, University of Toronto, 25 Willcocks Street, Toronto, ON M5S 3B2, Canada. guttman@botany.utoronto.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11872842" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Organelle transport by myosin-V is down-regulated during mitosis, presumably by myosin-V phosphorylation. We used mass spectrometry phosphopeptide mapping to show that the tail of myosin-V was phosphorylated in mitotic Xenopus egg extract on a single serine residue localized in the carboxyl-terminal organelle-binding domain. Phosphorylation resulted in the release of the motor from the organelle. The phosphorylation site matched the consensus sequence of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and inhibitors of CaMKII prevented myosin-V release. The modulation of cargo binding by phosphorylation is likely to represent a general mechanism regulating organelle transport by myosin-V.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karcher, R L -- Roland, J T -- Zappacosta, F -- Huddleston, M J -- Annan, R S -- Carr, S A -- Gelfand, V I -- GM-52111/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Aug 17;293(5533):1317-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Structural Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11509731" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mechanism by which disruption of reading frame can influence pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) processing is poorly understood. We assessed the role of factors essential for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in nonsense-mediated altered splicing (NAS) with the use of RNA interference (RNAi) in mammalian cells. Inhibition of rent1/hUpf1 expression abrogated both NMD and NAS of nonsense T cell receptor beta transcripts. In contrast, inhibition of rent2/hUpf2 expression did not disrupt NAS despite achieving comparable stabilization of nonsense transcripts. We also demonstrate that NAS and NMD are genetically separable functions of rent1/hUpf1. Additionally, rent1/hUpf1 enters the nucleus where it may directly influence early events in mRNA biogenesis. This provides compelling evidence that NAS relies on a component of the nonsense surveillance machinery but is not an indirect consequence of NMD.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mendell, Joshua T -- ap Rhys, Colette M J -- Dietz, Harry C -- GM55239/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Oct 11;298(5592):419-22.

    Description: BAX and BAK are "multidomain" proapoptotic proteins that initiate mitochondrial dysfunction but also localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient for BAX and BAK (DKO cells) were found to have a reduced resting concentration of calcium in the ER ([Ca2+]er) that results in decreased uptake of Ca2+ by mitochondria after Ca2+ release from the ER. Expression of SERCA (sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase) corrected [Ca2+]er and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in DKO cells, restoring apoptotic death in response to agents that release Ca2+ from intracellular stores (such as arachidonic acid, C2-ceramide, and oxidative stress). In contrast, targeting of BAX to mitochondria selectively restored apoptosis to "BH3-only" signals. A third set of stimuli, including many intrinsic signals, required both ER-released Ca2+ and the presence of mitochondrial BAX or BAK to fully restore apoptosis. Thus, BAX and BAK operate in both the ER and mitochondria as an essential gateway for selected apoptotic signals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Scorrano, Luca -- Oakes, Scott A -- Opferman, Joseph T -- Cheng, Emily H -- Sorcinelli, Mia D -- Pozzan, Tullio -- Korsmeyer, Stanley J -- R37CA50239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32HL07627/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- TCP02016/Telethon/Italy -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 4;300(5616):135-9.
