    Crystal structure of the calcium release-activated calcium channel Orai (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-11-28
    Description: The plasma membrane protein Orai forms the pore of the calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel and generates sustained cytosolic calcium signals when triggered by depletion of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum. The crystal structure of Orai from Drosophila melanogaster, determined at 3.35 angstrom resolution, reveals that the calcium channel is composed of a hexameric assembly of Orai subunits arranged around a central ion pore. The pore traverses the membrane and extends into the cytosol. A ring of glutamate residues on its extracellular side forms the selectivity filter. A basic region near the intracellular side can bind anions that may stabilize the closed state. The architecture of the channel differs markedly from other ion channels and gives insight into the principles of selective calcium permeation and gating.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3695727/" 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/PMC3695727/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hou, Xiaowei -- Pedi, Leanne -- Diver, Melinda M -- Long, Stephen B -- GM094273/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA008748/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM094273/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Dec 7;338(6112):1308-13. doi: 10.1126/science.1228757.

    Nodulation signaling in legumes requires NSP2, a member of the GRAS family of transcriptional regulators (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-06-18
    Description: Rhizobial bacteria enter a symbiotic interaction with legumes, activating diverse responses in roots through the lipochito oligosaccharide signaling molecule Nod factor. Here, we show that NSP2 from Medicago truncatula encodes a GRAS protein essential for Nod-factor signaling. NSP2 functions downstream of Nod-factor-induced calcium spiking and a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. We show that NSP2-GFP expressed from a constitutive promoter is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum/nuclear envelope and relocalizes to the nucleus after Nod-factor elicitation. This work provides evidence that a GRAS protein transduces calcium signals in plants and provides a possible regulator of Nod-factor-inducible gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kalo, Peter -- Gleason, Cynthia -- Edwards, Anne -- Marsh, John -- Mitra, Raka M -- Hirsch, Sibylle -- Jakab, Julia -- Sims, Sarah -- Long, Sharon R -- Rogers, Jane -- Kiss, Gyorgy B -- Downie, J Allan -- Oldroyd, Giles E D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jun 17;308(5729):1786-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departments of Disease and Stress Biology and Molecular Microbiology, John Innes Centre, Norwich NR4 7UH, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15961668" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of a mammalian voltage-dependent Shaker family K+ channel (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-09
    Description: Voltage-dependent potassium ion (K+) channels (Kv channels) conduct K+ ions across the cell membrane in response to changes in the membrane voltage, thereby regulating neuronal excitability by modulating the shape and frequency of action potentials. Here we report the crystal structure, at a resolution of 2.9 angstroms, of a mammalian Kv channel, Kv1.2, which is a member of the Shaker K+ channel family. This structure is in complex with an oxido-reductase beta subunit of the kind that can regulate mammalian Kv channels in their native cell environment. The activation gate of the pore is open. Large side portals communicate between the pore and the cytoplasm. Electrostatic properties of the side portals and positions of the T1 domain and beta subunit are consistent with electrophysiological studies of inactivation gating and with the possibility of K+ channel regulation by the beta subunit.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Long, Stephen B -- Campbell, Ernest B -- Mackinnon, Roderick -- GM43949/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR00862/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Aug 5;309(5736):897-903.

    Medicago truncatula DMI1 required for bacterial and fungal symbioses in legumes (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-02-14
    Description: Legumes form symbiotic associations with both mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called rhizobia. Several of the plant genes required for transduction of rhizobial signals, the Nod factors, are also necessary for mycorrhizal symbiosis. Here, we describe the cloning and characterization of one such gene from the legume Medicago truncatula. The DMI1 (does not make infections) gene encodes a novel protein with low global similarity to a ligand-gated cation channel domain of archaea. The protein is highly conserved in angiosperms and ancestral to land plants. We suggest that DMI1 represents an ancient plant-specific innovation, potentially enabling mycorrhizal associations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ane, Jean-Michel -- Kiss, Gyorgy B -- Riely, Brendan K -- Penmetsa, R Varma -- Oldroyd, Giles E D -- Ayax, Celine -- Levy, Julien -- Debelle, Frederic -- Baek, Jong-Min -- Kalo, Peter -- Rosenberg, Charles -- Roe, Bruce A -- Long, Sharon R -- Denarie, Jean -- Cook, Douglas R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Feb 27;303(5662):1364-7.

    Voltage sensor of Kv1.2: structural basis of electromechanical coupling (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-09
    Description: Voltage-dependent ion channels contain voltage sensors that allow them to switch between nonconductive and conductive states over the narrow range of a few hundredths of a volt. We investigated the mechanism by which these channels sense cell membrane voltage by determining the x-ray crystal structure of a mammalian Shaker family potassium ion (K+) channel. The voltage-dependent K+ channel Kv1.2 grew three-dimensional crystals, with an internal arrangement that left the voltage sensors in an apparently native conformation, allowing us to reach three important conclusions. First, the voltage sensors are essentially independent domains inside the membrane. Second, they perform mechanical work on the pore through the S4-S5 linker helices, which are positioned to constrict or dilate the S6 inner helices of the pore. Third, in the open conformation, two of the four conserved Arg residues on S4 are on a lipid-facing surface and two are buried in the voltage sensor. The structure offers a simple picture of how membrane voltage influences the open probability of the channel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Long, Stephen B -- Campbell, Ernest B -- Mackinnon, Roderick -- GM43949/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Aug 5;309(5736):903-8.

    TOPLESS mediates auxin-dependent transcriptional repression during Arabidopsis embryogenesis (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-02-09
    Description: The transcriptional response to auxin is critical for root and vascular development during Arabidopsis embryogenesis. Auxin induces the degradation of AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (AUX/IAA) transcriptional repressors, freeing their binding partners, the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) proteins, which can activate transcription of auxin response genes. We show that TOPLESS (TPL) can physically interact with IAA12/BODENLOS (IAA12/BDL) through an ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF)-associated amphiphilic repression (EAR) motif. TPL can repress transcription in vivo and is required for IAA12/BDL repressive activity. In addition, tpl-1 can suppress the patterning defects of the bdl-1 mutant. Direct interaction between TPL and ARF5/MONOPTEROS, which is regulated by IAA12/BDL, results in a loss-of-function arf5/mp phenotype. These observations show that TPL is a transcriptional co-repressor and further our understanding of how auxin regulates transcription during plant development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Szemenyei, Heidi -- Hannon, Mike -- Long, Jeff A -- GM072764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Mar 7;319(5868):1384-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1151461.

    Crystal structure of the human two-pore domain potassium channel K2P1 (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-28
    Description: Two-pore domain potassium (K(+)) channels (K2P channels) control the negative resting potential of eukaryotic cells and regulate cell excitability by conducting K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. Here, we present the 3.4 angstrom resolution crystal structure of a human K2P channel, K2P1 (TWIK-1). Unlike other K(+) channel structures, K2P1 is dimeric. An extracellular cap domain located above the selectivity filter forms an ion pathway in which K(+) ions flow through side portals. Openings within the transmembrane region expose the pore to the lipid bilayer and are filled with electron density attributable to alkyl chains. An interfacial helix appears structurally poised to affect gating. The structure lays a foundation to further investigate how K2P channels are regulated by diverse stimuli.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Miller, Alexandria N -- Long, Stephen B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jan 27;335(6067):432-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1213274.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Structural Biology Program, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY 10065, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22282804" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure and inhibition of EV-D68, a virus that causes respiratory illness in children (2015)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-01-03
    Description: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a member of Picornaviridae and is a causative agent of recent outbreaks of respiratory illness in children in the United States. We report here the crystal structures of EV-D68 and its complex with pleconaril, a capsid-binding compound that had been developed as an anti-rhinovirus drug. The hydrophobic drug-binding pocket in viral protein 1 contained density that is consistent with a fatty acid of about 10 carbon atoms. This density could be displaced by pleconaril. We also showed that pleconaril inhibits EV-D68 at a half-maximal effective concentration of 430 nanomolar and might, therefore, be a possible drug candidate to alleviate EV-D68 outbreaks.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4307789/" 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/PMC4307789/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, Yue -- Sheng, Ju -- Fokine, Andrei -- Meng, Geng -- Shin, Woong-Hee -- Long, Feng -- Kuhn, Richard J -- Kihara, Daisuke -- Rossmann, Michael G -- AI11219/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R24 GM111072/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI011219/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RR007707/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Jan 2;347(6217):71-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1261962.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology, 240 South Martin Jischke Drive, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA. ; Department of Biological Sciences, Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology, 240 South Martin Jischke Drive, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA.
