    Notes: The fecundity of the bogue from the Portuguese coast was assessed by the volumetric method using 75 ovaries in prespawning stage from fishes between 14 and 36 cm total length (TL). Estimates of total potential annual fecundity varied between 11550 and 357800 eggs per female. Relationships between fecundity and total length, total weight (TW) and age (A) were established, the former being a better-suited prediction of fecundity according to the equation: F = 15632 (TL) - 228717. Relative fecundity was determined. Maximum values corresponded to females between 21 and 26 cm total length.

    Ionic Silver Amino Complexes Displaying Liquid Crystalline Behavior Close to Room Temperature (2000)

    Notes: The liquid crystalline properties of a series of ionic silver complexes [Ag(NH2n-CnH2n+1)2]X (X = NO3, n = 6, 8, 10, 12, 14; X = BF4, n = 8, 10, 12, 14), derived from silver nitrate or tetrafluoroborate and aliphatic amines, have been investigated by optical microscopy, DSC, and X-ray diffraction. The materials exhibit a birefringent fluid phase identified as a smectic A mesophase by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Some of the complexes are liquid crystalline at temperatures close to room temperature. The X-ray results are consistent with the existence in the mesophase of a bilayer organization. The silver cations adopt a U-shape, which allows for the adoption of this bilayer arrangement, with alternating ionic and apolar regions and a short-range square-planar array inside the cationic sublayers. The thermodynamic parameters suggest that the melting transition clearly involves only disorder (melting) of the chains, whereas the clearing transition implies breaking the anion-cation arrangement.

    Amelioration of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in mdx mice by elimination of matrix-associated fibrin-driven inflammation coupled to the {alpha}M{beta}2 leukocyte integrin receptor (2012)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-04-12
    Description: In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a persistently altered and reorganizing extracellular matrix (ECM) within inflamed muscle promotes damage and dysfunction. However, the molecular determinants of the ECM that mediate inflammatory changes and faulty tissue reorganization remain poorly defined. Here, we show that fibrin deposition is a conspicuous consequence of muscle-vascular damage in dystrophic muscles of DMD patients and mdx mice and that elimination of fibrin(ogen) attenuated dystrophy progression in mdx mice. These benefits appear to be tied to: (i) a decrease in leukocyte integrin α M β 2 -mediated proinflammatory programs, thereby attenuating counterproductive inflammation and muscle degeneration; and (ii) a release of satellite cells from persistent inhibitory signals, thereby promoting regeneration. Remarkably, Fib-gamma(390-396A) (Fib 390-396A ) mice expressing a mutant form of fibrinogen with normal clotting function, but lacking the α M β 2 binding motif, ameliorated dystrophic pathology. Delivery of a fibrinogen/α M β 2 blocking peptide was similarly beneficial. Conversely, intramuscular fibrinogen delivery sufficed to induce inflammation and degeneration in fibrinogen-null mice. Thus, local fibrin(ogen) deposition drives dystrophic muscle inflammation and dysfunction, and disruption of fibrin(ogen)-α M β 2 interactions may provide a novel strategy for DMD treatment.

    Design of a 20-amino acid, three-stranded beta-sheet protein (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-07-10
    Description: A 20-residue protein (named Betanova) forming a monomeric, three-stranded, antiparallel beta sheet was designed using a structural backbone template and an iterative hierarchical approach. Structural and physicochemical characterization show that the beta-sheet conformation is stabilized by specific tertiary interactions and that the protein exhibits a cooperative two-state folding-unfolding transition, which is a hallmark of natural proteins. The Betanova molecule constitutes a tractable model system to aid in the understanding of beta-sheet formation, including beta-sheet aggregation and amyloid fibril formation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kortemme, T -- Ramirez-Alvarado, M -- Serrano, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jul 10;281(5374):253-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Meyerhofstrasse 1, Heidelberg D-69117, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9657719" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolvability and hierarchy in rewired bacterial gene networks (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-04-19
    Description: Sequencing DNA from several organisms has revealed that duplication and drift of existing genes have primarily moulded the contents of a given genome. Though the effect of knocking out or overexpressing a particular gene has been studied in many organisms, no study has systematically explored the effect of adding new links in a biological network. To explore network evolvability, we constructed 598 recombinations of promoters (including regulatory regions) with different transcription or sigma-factor genes in Escherichia coli, added over a wild-type genetic background. Here we show that approximately 95% of new networks are tolerated by the bacteria, that very few alter growth, and that expression level correlates with factor position in the wild-type network hierarchy. Most importantly, we find that certain networks consistently survive over the wild type under various selection pressures. Therefore new links in the network are rarely a barrier for evolution and can even confer a fitness advantage.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2666274/" 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/PMC2666274/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Isalan, Mark -- Lemerle, Caroline -- Michalodimitrakis, Konstantinos -- Horn, Carsten -- Beltrao, Pedro -- Raineri, Emanuele -- Garriga-Canut, Mireia -- Serrano, Luis -- 066543/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2008 Apr 17;452(7189):840-5. doi: 10.1038/nature06847.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉EMBL/CRG Systems Biology Research Unit, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), UPF, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. isalan@crg.es〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18421347" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Molecular basis of xeroderma pigmentosum group C DNA recognition by engineered meganucleases (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-11-07
    Description: Xeroderma pigmentosum is a monogenic disease characterized by hypersensitivity to ultraviolet light. The cells of xeroderma pigmentosum patients are defective in nucleotide excision repair, limiting their capacity to eliminate ultraviolet-induced DNA damage, and resulting in a strong predisposition to develop skin cancers. The use of rare cutting DNA endonucleases-such as homing endonucleases, also known as meganucleases-constitutes one possible strategy for repairing DNA lesions. Homing endonucleases have emerged as highly specific molecular scalpels that recognize and cleave DNA sites, promoting efficient homologous gene targeting through double-strand-break-induced homologous recombination. Here we describe two engineered heterodimeric derivatives of the homing endonuclease I-CreI, produced by a semi-rational approach. These two molecules-Amel3-Amel4 and Ini3-Ini4-cleave DNA from the human XPC gene (xeroderma pigmentosum group C), in vitro and in vivo. Crystal structures of the I-CreI variants complexed with intact and cleaved XPC target DNA suggest that the mechanism of DNA recognition and cleavage by the engineered homing endonucleases is similar to that of the wild-type I-CreI. Furthermore, these derivatives induced high levels of specific gene targeting in mammalian cells while displaying no obvious genotoxicity. Thus, homing endonucleases can be designed to recognize and cleave the DNA sequences of specific genes, opening up new possibilities for genome engineering and gene therapy in xeroderma pigmentosum patients whose illness can be treated ex vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Redondo, Pilar -- Prieto, Jesus -- Munoz, Ines G -- Alibes, Andreu -- Stricher, Francois -- Serrano, Luis -- Cabaniols, Jean-Pierre -- Daboussi, Fayza -- Arnould, Sylvain -- Perez, Christophe -- Duchateau, Philippe -- Paques, Frederic -- Blanco, Francisco J -- Montoya, Guillermo -- England -- Nature. 2008 Nov 6;456(7218):107-11. doi: 10.1038/nature07343.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Macromolecular Crystallography Group, Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), c/Melchor Fdez.

    Proteome organization in a genome-reduced bacterium (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-08
    Description: The genome of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is among the smallest found in self-replicating organisms. To study the basic principles of bacterial proteome organization, we used tandem affinity purification-mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) in a proteome-wide screen. The analysis revealed 62 homomultimeric and 116 heteromultimeric soluble protein complexes, of which the majority are novel. About a third of the heteromultimeric complexes show higher levels of proteome organization, including assembly into larger, multiprotein complex entities, suggesting sequential steps in biological processes, and extensive sharing of components, implying protein multifunctionality. Incorporation of structural models for 484 proteins, single-particle electron microscopy, and cellular electron tomograms provided supporting structural details for this proteome organization. The data set provides a blueprint of the minimal cellular machinery required for life.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kuhner, Sebastian -- van Noort, Vera -- Betts, Matthew J -- Leo-Macias, Alejandra -- Batisse, Claire -- Rode, Michaela -- Yamada, Takuji -- Maier, Tobias -- Bader, Samuel -- Beltran-Alvarez, Pedro -- Castano-Diez, Daniel -- Chen, Wei-Hua -- Devos, Damien -- Guell, Marc -- Norambuena, Tomas -- Racke, Ines -- Rybin, Vladimir -- Schmidt, Alexander -- Yus, Eva -- Aebersold, Ruedi -- Herrmann, Richard -- Bottcher, Bettina -- Frangakis, Achilleas S -- Russell, Robert B -- Serrano, Luis -- Bork, Peer -- Gavin, Anne-Claude -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Nov 27;326(5957):1235-40. doi: 10.1126/science.1176343.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Meyerhofstrasse 1, D-69117 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19965468" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Impact of genome reduction on bacterial metabolism and its regulation (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-08
    Description: To understand basic principles of bacterial metabolism organization and regulation, but also the impact of genome size, we systematically studied one of the smallest bacteria, Mycoplasma pneumoniae. A manually curated metabolic network of 189 reactions catalyzed by 129 enzymes allowed the design of a defined, minimal medium with 19 essential nutrients. More than 1300 growth curves were recorded in the presence of various nutrient concentrations. Measurements of biomass indicators, metabolites, and 13C-glucose experiments provided information on directionality, fluxes, and energetics; integration with transcription profiling enabled the global analysis of metabolic regulation. Compared with more complex bacteria, the M. pneumoniae metabolic network has a more linear topology and contains a higher fraction of multifunctional enzymes; general features such as metabolite concentrations, cellular energetics, adaptability, and global gene expression responses are similar, however.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yus, Eva -- Maier, Tobias -- Michalodimitrakis, Konstantinos -- van Noort, Vera -- Yamada, Takuji -- Chen, Wei-Hua -- Wodke, Judith A H -- Guell, Marc -- Martinez, Sira -- Bourgeois, Ronan -- Kuhner, Sebastian -- Raineri, Emanuele -- Letunic, Ivica -- Kalinina, Olga V -- Rode, Michaela -- Herrmann, Richard -- Gutierrez-Gallego, Ricardo -- Russell, Robert B -- Gavin, Anne-Claude -- Bork, Peer -- Serrano, Luis -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Nov 27;326(5957):1263-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1177263.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Avenida Dr. Aiguader 88, 08003 Barcelona, Spain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19965476" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
