    Rational design of a structural and functional nitric oxide reductase (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-11-27
    Description: Protein design provides a rigorous test of our knowledge about proteins and allows the creation of novel enzymes for biotechnological applications. Whereas progress has been made in designing proteins that mimic native proteins structurally, it is more difficult to design functional proteins. In comparison to recent successes in designing non-metalloproteins, it is even more challenging to rationally design metalloproteins that reproduce both the structure and function of native metalloenzymes. This is because protein metal-binding sites are much more varied than non-metal-containing sites, in terms of different metal ion oxidation states, preferred geometry and metal ion ligand donor sets. Because of their variability, it has been difficult to predict metal-binding site properties in silico, as many of the parameters, such as force fields, are ill-defined. Therefore, the successful design of a structural and functional metalloprotein would greatly advance the field of protein design and our understanding of enzymes. Here we report a successful, rational design of a structural and functional model of a metalloprotein, nitric oxide reductase (NOR), by introducing three histidines and one glutamate, predicted as ligands in the active site of NOR, into the distal pocket of myoglobin. A crystal structure of the designed protein confirms that the minimized computer model contains a haem/non-haem Fe(B) centre that is remarkably similar to that in the crystal structure. This designed protein also exhibits NO reduction activity, and so models both the structure and function of NOR, offering insight that the active site glutamate is required for both iron binding and activity. These results show that structural and functional metalloproteins can be rationally designed in silico.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4297211/" 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/PMC4297211/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yeung, Natasha -- Lin, Ying-Wu -- Gao, Yi-Gui -- Zhao, Xuan -- Russell, Brandy S -- Lei, Lanyu -- Miner, Kyle D -- Robinson, Howard -- Lu, Yi -- GM062211/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062211/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1079-82. doi: 10.1038/nature08620.

    Characterization of two classes of small molecule inhibitors of Arp2/3 complex (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-08-04
    Description: Polymerization of actin filaments directed by the actin-related protein (Arp)2/3 complex supports many types of cellular movements. However, questions remain regarding the relative contributions of Arp2/3 complex versus other mechanisms of actin filament nucleation to processes such as path finding by neuronal growth cones; this is because of the lack of simple methods to inhibit Arp2/3 complex reversibly in living cells. Here we describe two classes of small molecules that bind to different sites on the Arp2/3 complex and inhibit its ability to nucleate actin filaments. CK-0944636 binds between Arp2 and Arp3, where it appears to block movement of Arp2 and Arp3 into their active conformation. CK-0993548 inserts into the hydrophobic core of Arp3 and alters its conformation. Both classes of compounds inhibit formation of actin filament comet tails by Listeria and podosomes by monocytes. Two inhibitors with different mechanisms of action provide a powerful approach for studying the Arp2/3 complex in living cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2780427/" 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/PMC2780427/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nolen, B J -- Tomasevic, N -- Russell, A -- Pierce, D W -- Jia, Z -- McCormick, C D -- Hartman, J -- Sakowicz, R -- Pollard, T D -- F32 GM074374-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-066311/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM074374-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM066311/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM066311-01A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P30 EB009998/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Aug 20;460(7258):1031-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08231.

    The AP-1 transcription factor Batf controls T(H)17 differentiation (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-07-07
    Description: Activator protein 1 (AP-1, also known as JUN) transcription factors are dimers of JUN, FOS, MAF and activating transcription factor (ATF) family proteins characterized by basic region and leucine zipper domains. Many AP-1 proteins contain defined transcriptional activation domains, but BATF and the closely related BATF3 (refs 2, 3) contain only a basic region and leucine zipper, and are considered to be inhibitors of AP-1 activity. Here we show that Batf is required for the differentiation of IL17-producing T helper (T(H)17) cells. T(H)17 cells comprise a CD4(+) T-cell subset that coordinates inflammatory responses in host defence but is pathogenic in autoimmunity. Batf(-/-) mice have normal T(H)1 and T(H)2 differentiation, but show a defect in T(H)17 differentiation, and are resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Batf(-/-) T cells fail to induce known factors required for T(H)17 differentiation, such as RORgamma t (encoded by Rorc) and the cytokine IL21 (refs 14-17). Neither the addition of IL21 nor the overexpression of RORgamma t fully restores IL17 production in Batf(-/-) T cells. The Il17 promoter is BATF-responsive, and after T(H)17 differentiation, BATF binds conserved intergenic elements in the Il17a-Il17f locus and to the Il17, Il21 and Il22 (ref. 18) promoters. These results demonstrate that the AP-1 protein BATF has a critical role in T(H)17 differentiation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2716014/" 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/PMC2716014/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schraml, Barbara U -- Hildner, Kai -- Ise, Wataru -- Lee, Wan-Ling -- Smith, Whitney A-E -- Solomon, Ben -- Sahota, Gurmukh -- Sim, Julia -- Mukasa, Ryuta -- Cemerski, Saso -- Hatton, Robin D -- Stormo, Gary D -- Weaver, Casey T -- Russell, John H -- Murphy, Theresa L -- Murphy, Kenneth M -- AI035783/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AR049293/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- GM07200/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HG00249/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG000249/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG000249-20/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM008802/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM008802-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 16;460(7253):405-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08114.

    Asymmetric T lymphocyte division in the initiation of adaptive immune responses (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-03-03
    Description: A hallmark of mammalian immunity is the heterogeneity of cell fate that exists among pathogen-experienced lymphocytes. We show that a dividing T lymphocyte initially responding to a microbe exhibits unequal partitioning of proteins that mediate signaling, cell fate specification, and asymmetric cell division. Asymmetric segregation of determinants appears to be coordinated by prolonged interaction between the T cell and its antigen-presenting cell before division. Additionally, the first two daughter T cells displayed phenotypic and functional indicators of being differentially fated toward effector and memory lineages. These results suggest a mechanism by which a single lymphocyte can apportion diverse cell fates necessary for adaptive immunity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chang, John T -- Palanivel, Vikram R -- Kinjyo, Ichiko -- Schambach, Felix -- Intlekofer, Andrew M -- Banerjee, Arnob -- Longworth, Sarah A -- Vinup, Kristine E -- Mrass, Paul -- Oliaro, Jane -- Killeen, Nigel -- Orange, Jordan S -- Russell, Sarah M -- Weninger, Wolfgang -- Reiner, Steven L -- AI007532/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI042370/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI053827/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI055428/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI061699/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI069380/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA114114/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA87812/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK007066/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM007170/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI061699/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI055428/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Mar 23;315(5819):1687-91.

    Reduced egg investment can conceal helper effects in cooperatively breeding birds (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-08-19
    Description: Cooperative breeding systems are characterized by nonbreeding helpers that assist breeders in offspring care. However, the benefits to offspring of being fed by parents and helpers in cooperatively breeding birds can be difficult to detect. We offer experimental evidence that helper effects can be obscured by an undocumented maternal tactic. In superb fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus), mothers breeding in the presence of helpers lay smaller eggs of lower nutritional content that produce lighter chicks, as compared with those laying eggs in the absence of helpers. Helpers compensate fully for such reductions in investment and allow mothers to benefit through increased survival to the next breeding season. We suggest that failure to consider maternal egg-investment strategies can lead to underestimation of the force of selection acting on helping in avian cooperative breeders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Russell, A F -- Langmore, N E -- Cockburn, A -- Astheimer, L B -- Kilner, R M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Aug 17;317(5840):941-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK. a.f.russell@sheffield.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17702942" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    AAV vector integration sites in mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-07-28
    Description: Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are promising gene therapy vectors that have little or no acute toxicity. We show that normal mice and mice with mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII) develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after neonatal injection of an AAV vector expressing b-glucuronidase. AAV proviruses were isolated from four tumors and were all located within a 6-kilobase region of chromosome 12. This locus encodes several imprinted transcripts, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and microRNAs. Transcripts from adjacent genes encoding snoRNAs and microRNAs were overexpressed in tumors. Our findings implicate this locus in the development of HCC and raise concerns over the clinical use of AAV vectors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Donsante, Anthony -- Miller, Daniel G -- Li, Yi -- Vogler, Carole -- Brunt, Elizabeth M -- Russell, David W -- Sands, Mark S -- R01 DK071657/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jul 27;317(5837):477.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Internal Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, Box 8007, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17656716" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Antigenic and genetic characteristics of swine-origin 2009 A(H1N1) influenza viruses circulating in humans (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-26
    Description: Since its identification in April 2009, an A(H1N1) virus containing a unique combination of gene segments from both North American and Eurasian swine lineages has continued to circulate in humans. The lack of similarity between the 2009 A(H1N1) virus and its nearest relatives indicates that its gene segments have been circulating undetected for an extended period. Its low genetic diversity suggests that the introduction into humans was a single event or multiple events of similar viruses. Molecular markers predictive of adaptation to humans are not currently present in 2009 A(H1N1) viruses, suggesting that previously unrecognized molecular determinants could be responsible for the transmission among humans. Antigenically the viruses are homogeneous and similar to North American swine A(H1N1) viruses but distinct from seasonal human A(H1N1).〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3250984/" 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/PMC3250984/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Garten, Rebecca J -- Davis, C Todd -- Russell, Colin A -- Shu, Bo -- Lindstrom, Stephen -- Balish, Amanda -- Sessions, Wendy M -- Xu, Xiyan -- Skepner, Eugene -- Deyde, Varough -- Okomo-Adhiambo, Margaret -- Gubareva, Larisa -- Barnes, John -- Smith, Catherine B -- Emery, Shannon L -- Hillman, Michael J -- Rivailler, Pierre -- Smagala, James -- de Graaf, Miranda -- Burke, David F -- Fouchier, Ron A M -- Pappas, Claudia -- Alpuche-Aranda, Celia M -- Lopez-Gatell, Hugo -- Olivera, Hiram -- Lopez, Irma -- Myers, Christopher A -- Faix, Dennis -- Blair, Patrick J -- Yu, Cindy -- Keene, Kimberly M -- Dotson, P David Jr -- Boxrud, David -- Sambol, Anthony R -- Abid, Syed H -- St George, Kirsten -- Bannerman, Tammy -- Moore, Amanda L -- Stringer, David J -- Blevins, Patricia -- Demmler-Harrison, Gail J -- Ginsberg, Michele -- Kriner, Paula -- Waterman, Steve -- Smole, Sandra -- Guevara, Hugo F -- Belongia, Edward A -- Clark, Patricia A -- Beatrice, Sara T -- Donis, Ruben -- Katz, Jacqueline -- Finelli, Lyn -- Bridges, Carolyn B -- Shaw, Michael -- Jernigan, Daniel B -- Uyeki, Timothy M -- Smith, Derek J -- Klimov, Alexander I -- Cox, Nancy J -- DP1 OD000490-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1-OD000490-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200700010C/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Jul 10;325(5937):197-201. doi: 10.1126/science.1176225.

    Infection by tubercular mycobacteria is spread by nonlytic ejection from their amoeba hosts (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-03-28
    Description: To generate efficient vaccines and cures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we need a far better understanding of its modes of infection, persistence, and spreading. Host cell entry and the establishment of a replication niche are well understood, but little is known about how tubercular mycobacteria exit host cells and disseminate the infection. Using the social amoeba Dictyostelium as a genetically tractable host for pathogenic mycobacteria, we discovered that M. tuberculosis and M. marinum, but not M. avium, are ejected from the cell through an actin-based structure, the ejectosome. This conserved nonlytic spreading mechanism requires a cytoskeleton regulator from the host and an intact mycobacterial ESX-1 secretion system. This insight offers new directions for research into the spreading of tubercular mycobacteria infections in mammalian cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2770343/" 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/PMC2770343/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hagedorn, Monica -- Rohde, Kyle H -- Russell, David G -- Soldati, Thierry -- AI 067027/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HL 055936/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067027/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067027-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL055936/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL055936-09/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Mar 27;323(5922):1729-33. doi: 10.1126/science.1169381.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departement de Biochimie, Faculte des Sciences, Universite de Geneve, Sciences II, 30 quai Ernest Ansermet, CH-1211 Geneve-4, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19325115" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
