    The kinetics of two-dimensional TCR and pMHC interactions determine T-cell responsiveness (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-02
    Description: The T-cell receptor (TCR) interacts with peptide-major histocompatibility complexes (pMHC) to discriminate pathogens from self-antigens and trigger adaptive immune responses. Direct physical contact is required between the T cell and the antigen-presenting cell for cross-junctional binding where the TCR and pMHC are anchored on two-dimensional (2D) membranes of the apposing cells. Despite their 2D nature, TCR-pMHC binding kinetics have only been analysed three-dimensionally (3D) with a varying degree of correlation with the T-cell responsiveness. Here we use two mechanical assays to show high 2D affinities between a TCR and its antigenic pMHC driven by rapid on-rates. Compared to their 3D counterparts, 2D affinities and on-rates of the TCR for a panel of pMHC ligands possess far broader dynamic ranges that match that of their corresponding T-cell responses. The best 3D predictor of response is the off-rate, with agonist pMHC dissociating the slowest. In contrast, 2D off-rates are up to 8,300-fold faster, with the agonist pMHC dissociating the fastest. Our 2D data suggest rapid antigen sampling by T cells and serial engagement of a few agonist pMHCs by TCRs in a large self pMHC background. Thus, the cellular environment amplifies the intrinsic TCR-pMHC binding to generate broad affinities and rapid kinetics that determine T-cell responsiveness.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2925443/" 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/PMC2925443/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Jun -- Zarnitsyna, Veronika I -- Liu, Baoyu -- Edwards, Lindsay J -- Jiang, Ning -- Evavold, Brian D -- Zhu, Cheng -- AI060799/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI38282/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- NS062358/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS062358/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS062358-01A1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS071518/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):932-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08944.

    Electron tomography at 2.4-angstrom resolution (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-23
    Description: Transmission electron microscopy is a powerful imaging tool that has found broad application in materials science, nanoscience and biology. With the introduction of aberration-corrected electron lenses, both the spatial resolution and the image quality in transmission electron microscopy have been significantly improved and resolution below 0.5 angstroms has been demonstrated. To reveal the three-dimensional (3D) structure of thin samples, electron tomography is the method of choice, with cubic-nanometre resolution currently achievable. Discrete tomography has recently been used to generate a 3D atomic reconstruction of a silver nanoparticle two to three nanometres in diameter, but this statistical method assumes prior knowledge of the particle's lattice structure and requires that the atoms fit rigidly on that lattice. Here we report the experimental demonstration of a general electron tomography method that achieves atomic-scale resolution without initial assumptions about the sample structure. By combining a novel projection alignment and tomographic reconstruction method with scanning transmission electron microscopy, we have determined the 3D structure of an approximately ten-nanometre gold nanoparticle at 2.4-angstrom resolution. Although we cannot definitively locate all of the atoms inside the nanoparticle, individual atoms are observed in some regions of the particle and several grains are identified in three dimensions. The 3D surface morphology and internal lattice structure revealed are consistent with a distorted icosahedral multiply twinned particle. We anticipate that this general method can be applied not only to determine the 3D structure of nanomaterials at atomic-scale resolution, but also to improve the spatial resolution and image quality in other tomography fields.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Scott, M C -- Chen, Chien-Chun -- Mecklenburg, Matthew -- Zhu, Chun -- Xu, Rui -- Ercius, Peter -- Dahmen, Ulrich -- Regan, B C -- Miao, Jianwei -- England -- Nature. 2012 Mar 21;483(7390):444-7. doi: 10.1038/nature10934.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics and Astronomy and California NanoSystems Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22437612" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Induction of pathogenic TH17 cells by inducible salt-sensing kinase SGK1 (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-03-08
    Description: TH17 cells (interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells) are highly proinflammatory cells that are critical for clearing extracellular pathogens and for inducing multiple autoimmune diseases. IL-23 has a critical role in stabilizing and reinforcing the TH17 phenotype by increasing expression of IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) and endowing TH17 cells with pathogenic effector functions. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which IL-23 sustains the TH17 response and induces pathogenic effector functions has not been elucidated. Here we used transcriptional profiling of developing TH17 cells to construct a model of their signalling network and nominate major nodes that regulate TH17 development. We identified serum glucocorticoid kinase 1 (SGK1), a serine/threonine kinase, as an essential node downstream of IL-23 signalling. SGK1 is critical for regulating IL-23R expression and stabilizing the TH17 cell phenotype by deactivation of mouse Foxo1, a direct repressor of IL-23R expression. SGK1 has been shown to govern Na(+) transport and salt (NaCl) homeostasis in other cells. We show here that a modest increase in salt concentration induces SGK1 expression, promotes IL-23R expression and enhances TH17 cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo, accelerating the development of autoimmunity. Loss of SGK1 abrogated Na(+)-mediated TH17 differentiation in an IL-23-dependent manner. These data demonstrate that SGK1 has a critical role in the induction of pathogenic TH17 cells and provide a molecular insight into a mechanism by which an environmental factor such as a high salt diet triggers TH17 development and promotes tissue inflammation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3637879/" 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/PMC3637879/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wu, Chuan -- Yosef, Nir -- Thalhamer, Theresa -- Zhu, Chen -- Xiao, Sheng -- Kishi, Yasuhiro -- Regev, Aviv -- Kuchroo, Vijay K -- 1P01HG005062-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- 1P50HG006193-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- AI045757/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI073748/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DP1 CA174427/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD003958/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1-OD003958-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- K01 DK090105/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K01DK090105/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- NS030843/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS045937/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI045757/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI073748/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P50 HG006193/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS030843/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS045937/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Apr 25;496(7446):513-7. doi: 10.1038/nature11984.

    CEACAM1 regulates TIM-3-mediated tolerance and exhaustion (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-05
    Description: T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3, also known as HAVCR2) is an activation-induced inhibitory molecule involved in tolerance and shown to induce T-cell exhaustion in chronic viral infection and cancers. Under some conditions, TIM-3 expression has also been shown to be stimulatory. Considering that TIM-3, like cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD-1), is being targeted for cancer immunotherapy, it is important to identify the circumstances under which TIM-3 can inhibit and activate T-cell responses. Here we show that TIM-3 is co-expressed and forms a heterodimer with carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), another well-known molecule expressed on activated T cells and involved in T-cell inhibition. Biochemical, biophysical and X-ray crystallography studies show that the membrane-distal immunoglobulin-variable (IgV)-like amino-terminal domain of each is crucial to these interactions. The presence of CEACAM1 endows TIM-3 with inhibitory function. CEACAM1 facilitates the maturation and cell surface expression of TIM-3 by forming a heterodimeric interaction in cis through the highly related membrane-distal N-terminal domains of each molecule. CEACAM1 and TIM-3 also bind in trans through their N-terminal domains. Both cis and trans interactions between CEACAM1 and TIM-3 determine the tolerance-inducing function of TIM-3. In a mouse adoptive transfer colitis model, CEACAM1-deficient T cells are hyper-inflammatory with reduced cell surface expression of TIM-3 and regulatory cytokines, and this is restored by T-cell-specific CEACAM1 expression. During chronic viral infection and in a tumour environment, CEACAM1 and TIM-3 mark exhausted T cells. Co-blockade of CEACAM1 and TIM-3 leads to enhancement of anti-tumour immune responses with improved elimination of tumours in mouse colorectal cancer models. Thus, CEACAM1 serves as a heterophilic ligand for TIM-3 that is required for its ability to mediate T-cell inhibition, and this interaction has a crucial role in regulating autoimmunity and anti-tumour immunity.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4297519/" 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/PMC4297519/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Yu-Hwa -- Zhu, Chen -- Kondo, Yasuyuki -- Anderson, Ana C -- Gandhi, Amit -- Russell, Andrew -- Dougan, Stephanie K -- Petersen, Britt-Sabina -- Melum, Espen -- Pertel, Thomas -- Clayton, Kiera L -- Raab, Monika -- Chen, Qiang -- Beauchemin, Nicole -- Yazaki, Paul J -- Pyzik, Michal -- Ostrowski, Mario A -- Glickman, Jonathan N -- Rudd, Christopher E -- Ploegh, Hidde L -- Franke, Andre -- Petsko, Gregory A -- Kuchroo, Vijay K -- Blumberg, Richard S -- AI039671/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI056299/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI073748/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK0034854/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK044319/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK051362/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK053056/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK088199/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM32415/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- MOP-93787/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- NS045937/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI039671/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI056299/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI073748/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK034854/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P41 GM111244/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK051362/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM026788/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS045937/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007122/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR001102/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jan 15;517(7534):386-90. doi: 10.1038/nature13848.

    A map of rice genome variation reveals the origin of cultivated rice (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-10-05
    Description: Crop domestications are long-term selection experiments that have greatly advanced human civilization. The domestication of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) ranks as one of the most important developments in history. However, its origins and domestication processes are controversial and have long been debated. Here we generate genome sequences from 446 geographically diverse accessions of the wild rice species Oryza rufipogon, the immediate ancestral progenitor of cultivated rice, and from 1,083 cultivated indica and japonica varieties to construct a comprehensive map of rice genome variation. In the search for signatures of selection, we identify 55 selective sweeps that have occurred during domestication. In-depth analyses of the domestication sweeps and genome-wide patterns reveal that Oryza sativa japonica rice was first domesticated from a specific population of O. rufipogon around the middle area of the Pearl River in southern China, and that Oryza sativa indica rice was subsequently developed from crosses between japonica rice and local wild rice as the initial cultivars spread into South East and South Asia. The domestication-associated traits are analysed through high-resolution genetic mapping. This study provides an important resource for rice breeding and an effective genomics approach for crop domestication research.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Xuehui -- Kurata, Nori -- Wei, Xinghua -- Wang, Zi-Xuan -- Wang, Ahong -- Zhao, Qiang -- Zhao, Yan -- Liu, Kunyan -- Lu, Hengyun -- Li, Wenjun -- Guo, Yunli -- Lu, Yiqi -- Zhou, Congcong -- Fan, Danlin -- Weng, Qijun -- Zhu, Chuanrang -- Huang, Tao -- Zhang, Lei -- Wang, Yongchun -- Feng, Lei -- Furuumi, Hiroyasu -- Kubo, Takahiko -- Miyabayashi, Toshie -- Yuan, Xiaoping -- Xu, Qun -- Dong, Guojun -- Zhan, Qilin -- Li, Canyang -- Fujiyama, Asao -- Toyoda, Atsushi -- Lu, Tingting -- Feng, Qi -- Qian, Qian -- Li, Jiayang -- Han, Bin -- England -- Nature. 2012 Oct 25;490(7421):497-501. doi: 10.1038/nature11532.

    OTUD7B controls non-canonical NF-kappaB activation through deubiquitination of TRAF3 (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-01-22
    Description: The non-canonical NF-kappaB pathway forms a major arm of NF-kappaB signalling that mediates important biological functions, including lymphoid organogenesis, B-lymphocyte function, and cell growth and survival. Activation of the non-canonical NF-kappaB pathway involves degradation of an inhibitory protein, TNF receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3), but how this signalling event is controlled is still unknown. Here we have identified the deubiquitinase OTUD7B as a pivotal regulator of the non-canonical NF-kappaB pathway. OTUD7B deficiency in mice has no appreciable effect on canonical NF-kappaB activation but causes hyperactivation of non-canonical NF-kappaB. In response to non-canonical NF-kappaB stimuli, OTUD7B binds and deubiquitinates TRAF3, thereby inhibiting TRAF3 proteolysis and preventing aberrant non-canonical NF-kappaB activation. Consequently, the OTUD7B deficiency results in B-cell hyper-responsiveness to antigens, lymphoid follicular hyperplasia in the intestinal mucosa, and elevated host-defence ability against an intestinal bacterial pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium. These findings establish OTUD7B as a crucial regulator of signal-induced non-canonical NF-kappaB activation and indicate a mechanism of immune regulation that involves OTUD7B-mediated deubiquitination and stabilization of TRAF3.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3578967/" 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/PMC3578967/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hu, Hongbo -- Brittain, George C -- Chang, Jae-Hoon -- Puebla-Osorio, Nahum -- Jin, Jin -- Zal, Anna -- Xiao, Yichuan -- Cheng, Xuhong -- Chang, Mikyoung -- Fu, Yang-Xin -- Zal, Tomasz -- Zhu, Chengming -- Sun, Shao-Cong -- AI057555/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI064639/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA137059/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM84459/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA016672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA137059/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM084459/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009598/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32CA009598/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Feb 21;494(7437):371-4. doi: 10.1038/nature11831.

    Three-dimensional imaging of dislocations in a nanoparticle at atomic resolution (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-03-29
    Description: Dislocations and their interactions strongly influence many material properties, ranging from the strength of metals and alloys to the efficiency of light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. Several experimental methods can be used to visualize dislocations. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has long been used to image dislocations in materials, and high-resolution electron microscopy can reveal dislocation core structures in high detail, particularly in annular dark-field mode. A TEM image, however, represents a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional (3D) object (although stereo TEM provides limited information about 3D dislocations). X-ray topography can image dislocations in three dimensions, but with reduced resolution. Using weak-beam dark-field TEM and scanning TEM, electron tomography has been used to image 3D dislocations at a resolution of about five nanometres (refs 15, 16). Atom probe tomography can offer higher-resolution 3D characterization of dislocations, but requires needle-shaped samples and can detect only about 60 per cent of the atoms in a sample. Here we report 3D imaging of dislocations in materials at atomic resolution by electron tomography. By applying 3D Fourier filtering together with equal-slope tomographic reconstruction, we observe nearly all the atoms in a multiply twinned platinum nanoparticle. We observed atomic steps at 3D twin boundaries and imaged the 3D core structure of edge and screw dislocations at atomic resolution. These dislocations and the atomic steps at the twin boundaries, which appear to be stress-relief mechanisms, are not visible in conventional two-dimensional projections. The ability to image 3D disordered structures such as dislocations at atomic resolution is expected to find applications in materials science, nanoscience, solid-state physics and chemistry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Chien-Chun -- Zhu, Chun -- White, Edward R -- Chiu, Chin-Yi -- Scott, M C -- Regan, B C -- Marks, Laurence D -- Huang, Yu -- Miao, Jianwei -- England -- Nature. 2013 Apr 4;496(7443):74-7. doi: 10.1038/nature12009.
