    Molecular characterization of helix-loop-helix peptides (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-21
    Description: A class of regulators of eukaryotic gene expression contains a conserved amino acid sequence responsible for protein oligomerization and binding to DNA. This structure consists of an arginine- and lysine-rich basic region followed by a helix-loop-helix motif, which together mediate specific binding to DNA. Peptides were prepared that span this motif in the MyoD protein; in solution, they formed alpha-helical dimers and tetramers. They bound to DNA as dimers and their alpha-helical content increased on binding. Parallel and antiparallel four-helix models of the DNA-bound dimer were constructed. Peptides containing disulfide bonds were engineered to test the correctness of the two models. A disulfide that is compatible with the parallel model promotes specific interaction with DNA, whereas a disulfide compatible with the antiparallel model abolishes specific binding. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of nitroxide-labeled peptides provided intersubunit distance measurements that also supported the parallel model.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Anthony-Cahill, S J -- Benfield, P A -- Fairman, R -- Wasserman, Z R -- Brenner, S L -- Stafford, W F 3rd -- Altenbach, C -- Hubbell, W L -- DeGrado, W F -- GM13731/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM14321/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 21;255(5047):979-83.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biotechnology Department, DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Co., Wilmington, DE 19880-0328.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1312255" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of small molecule activators of cryptochrome (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-07-17
    Description: Impairment of the circadian clock has been associated with numerous disorders, including metabolic disease. Although small molecules that modulate clock function might offer therapeutic approaches to such diseases, only a few compounds have been identified that selectively target core clock proteins. From an unbiased cell-based circadian phenotypic screen, we identified KL001, a small molecule that specifically interacts with cryptochrome (CRY). KL001 prevented ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CRY, resulting in lengthening of the circadian period. In combination with mathematical modeling, our studies using KL001 revealed that CRY1 and CRY2 share a similar functional role in the period regulation. Furthermore, KL001-mediated CRY stabilization inhibited glucagon-induced gluconeogenesis in primary hepatocytes. KL001 thus provides a tool to study the regulation of CRY-dependent physiology and aid development of clock-based therapeutics of diabetes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3589997/" 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/PMC3589997/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hirota, Tsuyoshi -- Lee, Jae Wook -- St John, Peter C -- Sawa, Mariko -- Iwaisako, Keiko -- Noguchi, Takako -- Pongsawakul, Pagkapol Y -- Sonntag, Tim -- Welsh, David K -- Brenner, David A -- Doyle, Francis J 3rd -- Schultz, Peter G -- Kay, Steve A -- GM074868/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM085764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM096873/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- MH051573/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH082945/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- P50 GM085764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM041804/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM074868/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM096873/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH051573/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH082945/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Aug 31;337(6098):1094-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1223710.

    Cytoplasmic tail-dependent localization of CD1b antigen-presenting molecules to MIICs (1996)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-07-19
    Description: CD1 proteins have been implicated as antigen-presenting molecules for T cell-mediated immune responses, but their intracellular localization and trafficking remain uncharacterized. CD1b, a member of this family that presents microbial lipid antigens of exogenous origin, was found to localize to endocytic compartments that included the same specialized subset of endosomes in which major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are proposed to bind endocytosed antigens. Unlike MHC class II molecules, which traffic to antigen-loading endosomal compartments [MHC class II compartments (MIICs)] primarily as a consequence of their association with the invariant chain, localization of CD1b to these compartments was dependent on a tyrosine-based motif in its own cytoplasmic tail.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sugita, M -- Jackman, R M -- van Donselaar, E -- Behar, S M -- Rogers, R A -- Peters, P J -- Brenner, M B -- Porcelli, S A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Jul 19;273(5273):349-52.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lymphocyte Biology Section, Division of Rheumatology and Immunology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8662520" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Retention of unassembled components of integral membrane proteins by calnexin (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-21
    Description: Quality control mechanisms prevent the cell surface expression of incompletely assembled multisubunit receptors such as the T cell receptor (TCR). The molecular chaperone function of calnexin (IP90, p88), a 90-kilodalton protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), in the retention of representative chains of the TCR-CD3 complex in the ER was tested. Truncation mutants of calnexin, when transiently expressed in COS cells, were exported from the ER and either accumulated in the Golgi or progressed to the cell surface. CD3 epsilon chains cotransfected with the forms of calnexin that were not retained in the ER exited the ER and colocalized with calnexin. Since engineered calnexin determined the intracellular localization of the proteins associated with it, it is concluded that calnexin interacts with incompletely assembled TCR components and retains them in the ER.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rajagopalan, S -- Xu, Y -- Brenner, M B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 21;263(5145):387-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8278814" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The impact of structural genomics: expectations and outcomes (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-01-21
    Description: Structural genomics (SG) projects aim to expand our structural knowledge of biological macromolecules while lowering the average costs of structure determination. We quantitatively analyzed the novelty, cost, and impact of structures solved by SG centers, and we contrast these results with traditional structural biology. The first structure identified in a protein family enables inference of the fold and of ancient relationships to other proteins; in the year ending 31 January 2005, about half of such structures were solved at a SG center rather than in a traditional laboratory. Furthermore, the cost of solving a structure at the most efficient SG center in the United States has dropped to one-quarter of the estimated cost of solving a structure by traditional methods. However, the efficiency of the top structural biology laboratories-even though they work on very challenging structures-is comparable to that of SG centers; moreover, traditional structural biology papers are cited significantly more often, suggesting greater current impact.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chandonia, John-Marc -- Brenner, Steven E -- 1-K22-HG00056/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- 1-P50-GM62412/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- 1-R01-GM073109/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jan 20;311(5759):347-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Berkeley Structural Genomics Center, Physical Biosciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16424331" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structurally divergent human T cell receptor gamma proteins encoded by distinct C gamma genes (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-07-03
    Description: The human T cell receptor (TCR) gamma polypeptide occurs in structurally distinct forms on certain peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Complementary DNA clones representing the transcripts of functionally rearranged TCR gamma genes in these cells have been analyzed. The expression of a disulfide-linked and a nondisulfide-linked form of TCR gamma correlates with the use of the C gamma 1 and C gamma 2 constant-region gene segments, respectively. Variability in TCR gamma polypeptide size and disulfide linkage is determined by the number of copies and the sequence of a repeated segment of the constant region. Thus C gamma 1 and C gamma 2 are used to generate structurally distinct, yet functional, T3-associated receptor complexes on peripheral blood lymphocytes. Tryptic peptide mapping suggests that the T3-associated TCR gamma and delta peptides in the nondisulfide-linked form are distinct.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Krangel, M S -- Band, H -- Hata, S -- McLean, J -- Brenner, M B -- 1-KO1-AM01598/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- 1-RO1-GM38308/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Jul 3;237(4810):64-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2955517" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of putative human T cell receptor delta complementary DNA clones (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-10-30
    Description: A novel T cell receptor (TCR) subunit termed TCR delta, associated with TCR gamma and CD3 polypeptides, was recently found on a subpopulation of human T lymphocytes. T cell-specific complementary DNA clones present in a human TCR gamma delta T cell complementary DNA library were obtained and characterized in order to identify candidate clones encoding TCR delta. One cross-hybridizing group of clones detected transcripts that are expressed in lymphocytes bearing TCR gamma delta but not in other T lymphocytes and are encoded by genes that are rearranged in TCR gamma delta lymphocytes but deleted in other T lymphocytes. Their sequences indicate homology to the variable, joining, and constant elements of other TCR and immunoglobulin genes. These characteristics, as well as the immunochemical data presented in a companion paper, are strong evidence that the complementary DNA clones encode TCR delta.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hata, S -- Brenner, M B -- Krangel, M S -- 1-K01-AM01598/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Oct 30;238(4827):678-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Tumor Virology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3499667" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequence and expression of mRNAs encoding the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of a DHP-sensitive calcium channel (1988)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 1988-09-23
    Description: Complementary DNAs were isolated and used to deduce the primary structures of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of the dihydropyridine-sensitive, voltage-dependent calcium channel from rabbit skeletal muscle. The alpha 1 subunit, which contains putative binding sites for calcium antagonists, is a hydrophobic protein with a sequence that is consistent with multiple transmembrane domains and shows structural and sequence homology with other voltage-dependent ion channels. In contrast, the alpha 2 subunit is a hydrophilic protein without homology to other known protein sequences. Nucleic acid hybridization studies suggest that the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunit mRNAs are expressed differentially in a tissue-specific manner and that there is a family of genes encoding additional calcium channel subtypes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ellis, S B -- Williams, M E -- Ways, N R -- Brenner, R -- Sharp, A H -- Leung, A T -- Campbell, K P -- McKenna, E -- Koch, W J -- Hui, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 23;241(4873):1661-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Salk Institute Biotechnology/Industrial Associates, Inc., La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2458626" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Extensive junctional diversity of rearranged human T cell receptor delta genes (1988)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-06-10
    Description: The human T cell receptor delta (TCR delta) gene encodes one component of the TCR gamma delta-CD3 complex found on subsets of peripheral blood and thymic T cells. Human TCR delta diversity was estimated by characterizing rearrangements in TCR gamma delta cell lines and determining the structures of complementary DNA clones representing functional and nonfunctional transcripts in these cell lines. One V delta segment and one J delta segment were identified in all functional transcripts, although a distinct J delta segment was identified in a truncated transcript. Further, one D delta element was identified, and evidence for the use of an additional D delta element was obtained. Thus human TCR delta genes appear to use a limited number of germline elements. However, the apparent use of two D delta elements in tandem coupled with imprecise joining and extensive incorporation of N nucleotides generates unprecedented variability in the junctional region.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hata, S -- Satyanarayana, K -- Devlin, P -- Band, H -- McLean, J -- Strominger, J L -- Brenner, M B -- Krangel, M S -- K01-AM01598/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- R01-AM30241/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- S07RR05526-24/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 10;240(4858):1541-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3259726" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
