    Description: 〈p〉Inner ear hair cells (HCs) detect sound through the deflection of mechanosensory stereocilia. Stereocilia are inserted into the cuticular plate of HCs by parallel actin rootlets, where they convert sound-induced mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. The molecules that support these rootlets and enable them to withstand constant mechanical stresses underpin our ability to hear. However, the structures of these molecules have remained unknown. We hypothesized that αII- and βII-spectrin subunits fulfill this role, and investigated their structural organization in rodent HCs. Using super-resolution fluorescence imaging, we found that spectrin formed ring-like structures around the base of stereocilia rootlets. These spectrin rings were associated with the hearing ability of mice. Further, HC-specific, βII-spectrin knockout mice displayed profound deafness. Overall, our work has identified and characterized structures of spectrin that play a crucial role in mammalian hearing development.〈/p〉

    Description: A genome-scale genetic interaction map was constructed by examining 5.4 million gene-gene pairs for synthetic genetic interactions, generating quantitative genetic interaction profiles for approximately 75% of all genes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A network based on genetic interaction profiles reveals a functional map of the cell in which genes of similar biological processes cluster together in coherent subsets, and highly correlated profiles delineate specific pathways to define gene function. The global network identifies functional cross-connections between all bioprocesses, mapping a cellular wiring diagram of pleiotropy. Genetic interaction degree correlated with a number of different gene attributes, which may be informative about genetic network hubs in other organisms. We also demonstrate that extensive and unbiased mapping of the genetic landscape provides a key for interpretation of chemical-genetic interactions and drug target identification.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Costanzo, Michael -- Baryshnikova, Anastasia -- Bellay, Jeremy -- Kim, Yungil -- Spear, Eric D -- Sevier, Carolyn S -- Ding, Huiming -- Koh, Judice L Y -- Toufighi, Kiana -- Mostafavi, Sara -- Prinz, Jeany -- St Onge, Robert P -- VanderSluis, Benjamin -- Makhnevych, Taras -- Vizeacoumar, Franco J -- Alizadeh, Solmaz -- Bahr, Sondra -- Brost, Renee L -- Chen, Yiqun -- Cokol, Murat -- Deshpande, Raamesh -- Li, Zhijian -- Lin, Zhen-Yuan -- Liang, Wendy -- Marback, Michaela -- Paw, Jadine -- San Luis, Bryan-Joseph -- Shuteriqi, Ermira -- Tong, Amy Hin Yan -- van Dyk, Nydia -- Wallace, Iain M -- Whitney, Joseph A -- Weirauch, Matthew T -- Zhong, Guoqing -- Zhu, Hongwei -- Houry, Walid A -- Brudno, Michael -- Ragibizadeh, Sasan -- Papp, Balazs -- Pal, Csaba -- Roth, Frederick P -- Giaever, Guri -- Nislow, Corey -- Troyanskaya, Olga G -- Bussey, Howard -- Bader, Gary D -- Gingras, Anne-Claude -- Morris, Quaid D -- Kim, Philip M -- Kaiser, Chris A -- Myers, Chad L -- Andrews, Brenda J -- Boone, Charles -- 084314/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- GSP-41567/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- R01 HG003224/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jan 22;327(5964):425-31. doi: 10.1126/science.1180823.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Banting and Best Department of Medical Research, Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 3E1, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20093466" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Actin and spectrin play important roles in neurons, but their organization in axons and dendrites remains unclear. We used stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy to study the organization of actin, spectrin, and associated proteins in neurons. Actin formed ringlike structures that wrapped around the circumference of axons and were evenly spaced along axonal shafts with a periodicity of ~180 to 190 nanometers. This periodic structure was not observed in dendrites, which instead contained long actin filaments running along dendritic shafts. Adducin, an actin-capping protein, colocalized with the actin rings. Spectrin exhibited periodic structures alternating with those of actin and adducin, and the distance between adjacent actin-adducin rings was comparable to the length of a spectrin tetramer. Sodium channels in axons were distributed in a periodic pattern coordinated with the underlying actin-spectrin-based cytoskeleton.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3815867/" 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/PMC3815867/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xu, Ke -- Zhong, Guisheng -- Zhuang, Xiaowei -- R01 GM096450/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Jan 25;339(6118):452-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1232251.

    Description: Structural and mechanistic studies show that when the selection criteria of the immune system are changed, catalytic antibodies that have the efficiency of natural enzymes evolve, but the catalytic antibodies are much more accepting of a wide range of substrates. The catalytic antibodies were prepared by reactive immunization, a process whereby the selection criteria of the immune system are changed from simple binding to chemical reactivity. This process yielded aldolase catalytic antibodies that approximated the rate acceleration of the natural enzyme used in glycolysis. Unlike the natural enzyme, however, the antibody aldolases catalyzed a variety of aldol reactions and decarboxylations. The crystal structure of one of these antibodies identified the reactive lysine residue that was selected in the immunization process. This lysine is deeply buried in a hydrophobic pocket at the base of the binding site, thereby accounting for its perturbed pKa.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barbas, C F 3rd -- Heine, A -- Zhong, G -- Hoffmann, T -- Gramatikova, S -- Bjornestedt, R -- List, B -- Anderson, J -- Stura, E A -- Wilson, I A -- Lerner, R A -- CA27489/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Dec 19;278(5346):2085-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology and the Department of Molecular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9405338" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
