    Description: Genetic variability of Plasmodium falciparum underlies its transmission success and thwarts efforts to control disease caused by this parasite. Genetic variation in antigenic, drug resistance, and pathogenesis determinants is abundant, consistent with an ancient origin of P. falciparum, whereas DNA variation at silent (synonymous) sites in coding sequences appears virtually absent, consistent with a recent origin of the parasite. To resolve this paradox, we analyzed introns and demonstrated that these are deficient in single-nucleotide polymorphisms, as are synonymous sites in coding regions. These data establish the recent origin of P. falciparum and further provide an explanation for the abundant diversity observed in antigen and other selected genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Volkman, S K -- Barry, A E -- Lyons, E J -- Nielsen, K M -- Thomas, S M -- Choi, M -- Thakore, S S -- Day, K P -- Wirth, D F -- Hartl, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 20;293(5529):482-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Harvard-Oxford Malaria Genome Diversity Project, Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11463913" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The shaker-2 mouse mutation, the homolog of human DFNB3, causes deafness and circling behavior. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgene from the shaker-2 critical region corrected the vestibular defects, deafness, and inner ear morphology of shaker-2 mice. An unconventional myosin gene, Myo15, was discovered by DNA sequencing of this BAC. Shaker-2 mice were found to have an amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position within the motor domain of this myosin. Auditory hair cells of shaker-2 mice have very short stereocilia and a long actin-containing protrusion extending from their basal end. This histopathology suggests that Myo15 is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Probst, F J -- Fridell, R A -- Raphael, Y -- Saunders, T L -- Wang, A -- Liang, Y -- Morell, R J -- Touchman, J W -- Lyons, R H -- Noben-Trauth, K -- Friedman, T B -- Camper, S A -- Z01 DC 00035/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DC 00038/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- Z01 DC 02407/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 May 29;280(5368):1444-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Human Genetics, 4701 MSRB III, University of Michigan, 1500 West Medical Center Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9603735" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Choanoflagellates are the closest known relatives of metazoans. To discover potential molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of metazoan multicellularity, we sequenced and analysed the genome of the unicellular choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis. The genome contains approximately 9,200 intron-rich genes, including a number that encode cell adhesion and signalling protein domains that are otherwise restricted to metazoans. Here we show that the physical linkages among protein domains often differ between M. brevicollis and metazoans, suggesting that abundant domain shuffling followed the separation of the choanoflagellate and metazoan lineages. The completion of the M. brevicollis genome allows us to reconstruct with increasing resolution the genomic changes that accompanied the origin of metazoans.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562698/" 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/PMC2562698/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉King, Nicole -- Westbrook, M Jody -- Young, Susan L -- Kuo, Alan -- Abedin, Monika -- Chapman, Jarrod -- Fairclough, Stephen -- Hellsten, Uffe -- Isogai, Yoh -- Letunic, Ivica -- Marr, Michael -- Pincus, David -- Putnam, Nicholas -- Rokas, Antonis -- Wright, Kevin J -- Zuzow, Richard -- Dirks, William -- Good, Matthew -- Goodstein, David -- Lemons, Derek -- Li, Wanqing -- Lyons, Jessica B -- Morris, Andrea -- Nichols, Scott -- Richter, Daniel J -- Salamov, Asaf -- Sequencing, J G I -- Bork, Peer -- Lim, Wendell A -- Manning, Gerard -- Miller, W Todd -- McGinnis, William -- Shapiro, Harris -- Tjian, Robert -- Grigoriev, Igor V -- Rokhsar, Daniel -- R01 CA058530/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA058530-14/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM077197/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R37 HD028315/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Feb 14;451(7180):783-8. doi: 10.1038/nature06617.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and the Center for Integrative Genomics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. nking@berkeley.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18273011" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In most eukaryotic cells, subsets of microtubules are adapted for specific functions by post-translational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin subunits. Acetylation of the epsilon-amino group of K40 on alpha-tubulin is a conserved PTM on the luminal side of microtubules that was discovered in the flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Studies on the significance of microtubule acetylation have been limited by the undefined status of the alpha-tubulin acetyltransferase. Here we show that MEC-17, a protein related to the Gcn5 histone acetyltransferases and required for the function of touch receptor neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans, acts as a K40-specific acetyltransferase for alpha-tubulin. In vitro, MEC-17 exclusively acetylates K40 of alpha-tubulin. Disruption of the Tetrahymena MEC-17 gene phenocopies the K40R alpha-tubulin mutation and makes microtubules more labile. Depletion of MEC-17 in zebrafish produces phenotypes consistent with neuromuscular defects. In C. elegans, MEC-17 and its paralogue W06B11.1 are redundantly required for acetylation of MEC-12 alpha-tubulin, and contribute to the function of touch receptor neurons partly via MEC-12 acetylation and partly via another function, possibly by acetylating another protein. In summary, we identify MEC-17 as an enzyme that acetylates the K40 residue of alpha-tubulin, the only PTM known to occur on the luminal surface of microtubules.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2938957/" 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/PMC2938957/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Akella, Jyothi S -- Wloga, Dorota -- Kim, Jihyun -- Starostina, Natalia G -- Lyons-Abbott, Sally -- Morrissette, Naomi S -- Dougan, Scott T -- Kipreos, Edward T -- Gaertig, Jacek -- R01 AI067981/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067981-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM074212/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM074212-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM089912/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM089912-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01AI067981/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01GM074212/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM089912/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Sep 9;467(7312):218-22. doi: 10.1038/nature09324.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cellular Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20829795" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Somatic mutations in a subset of growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary tumors convert the gene for the alpha polypeptide chain (alpha s) of Gs into a putative oncogene, termed gsp. These mutations, which activate alpha s by inhibiting its guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity, are found in codons for either of two amino acids, each of which is completely conserved in all known G protein alpha chains. The likelihood that similar mutations would activate other G proteins prompted a survey of human tumors for mutations that replace either of these two amino acids in other G protein alpha chain genes. The first gene so far tested, which encodes the alpha chain of Gi2, showed mutations that replaced arginine-179 with either cysteine or histidine in 3 of 11 tumors of the adrenal cortex and 3 of 10 endocrine tumors of the ovary. The mutant alpha i2 gene is a putative oncogene, referred to as gip2. In addition, gsp mutations were found in 18 of 42 GH-secreting pituitary tumors and in an autonomously functioning thyroid adenoma. These findings suggest that human tumors may harbor oncogenic mutations in various G protein alpha chain genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lyons, J -- Landis, C A -- Harsh, G -- Vallar, L -- Grunewald, K -- Feichtinger, H -- Duh, Q Y -- Clark, O H -- Kawasaki, E -- Bourne, H R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Aug 10;249(4969):655-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Human Genetics, Cetus Corporation, Emeryville CA 94608.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2116665" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A novel influenza A (H1N1) virus has spread rapidly across the globe. Judging its pandemic potential is difficult with limited data, but nevertheless essential to inform appropriate health responses. By analyzing the outbreak in Mexico, early data on international spread, and viral genetic diversity, we make an early assessment of transmissibility and severity. Our estimates suggest that 23,000 (range 6000 to 32,000) individuals had been infected in Mexico by late April, giving an estimated case fatality ratio (CFR) of 0.4% (range: 0.3 to 1.8%) based on confirmed and suspected deaths reported to that time. In a community outbreak in the small community of La Gloria, Veracruz, no deaths were attributed to infection, giving an upper 95% bound on CFR of 0.6%. Thus, although substantial uncertainty remains, clinical severity appears less than that seen in the 1918 influenza pandemic but comparable with that seen in the 1957 pandemic. Clinical attack rates in children in La Gloria were twice that in adults (〈15 years of age: 61%; 〉/=15 years: 29%). Three different epidemiological analyses gave basic reproduction number (R0) estimates in the range of 1.4 to 1.6, whereas a genetic analysis gave a central estimate of 1.2. This range of values is consistent with 14 to 73 generations of human-to-human transmission having occurred in Mexico to late April. Transmissibility is therefore substantially higher than that of seasonal flu, and comparable with lower estimates of R0 obtained from previous influenza pandemics.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3735127/" 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/PMC3735127/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fraser, Christophe -- Donnelly, Christl A -- Cauchemez, Simon -- Hanage, William P -- Van Kerkhove, Maria D -- Hollingsworth, T Deirdre -- Griffin, Jamie -- Baggaley, Rebecca F -- Jenkins, Helen E -- Lyons, Emily J -- Jombart, Thibaut -- Hinsley, Wes R -- Grassly, Nicholas C -- Balloux, Francois -- Ghani, Azra C -- Ferguson, Neil M -- Rambaut, Andrew -- Pybus, Oliver G -- Lopez-Gatell, Hugo -- Alpuche-Aranda, Celia M -- Chapela, Ietza Bojorquez -- Zavala, Ethel Palacios -- Guevara, Dulce Ma Espejo -- Checchi, Francesco -- Garcia, Erika -- Hugonnet, Stephane -- Roth, Cathy -- WHO Rapid Pandemic Assessment Collaboration -- G0600719/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- GR082623MA/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- U54 GM088491/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Jun 19;324(5934):1557-61. doi: 10.1126/science.1176062.

    Description: The seminal importance of DNA sequencing to the life sciences, biotechnology and medicine has driven the search for more scalable and lower-cost solutions. Here we describe a DNA sequencing technology in which scalable, low-cost semiconductor manufacturing techniques are used to make an integrated circuit able to directly perform non-optical DNA sequencing of genomes. Sequence data are obtained by directly sensing the ions produced by template-directed DNA polymerase synthesis using all-natural nucleotides on this massively parallel semiconductor-sensing device or ion chip. The ion chip contains ion-sensitive, field-effect transistor-based sensors in perfect register with 1.2 million wells, which provide confinement and allow parallel, simultaneous detection of independent sequencing reactions. Use of the most widely used technology for constructing integrated circuits, the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, allows for low-cost, large-scale production and scaling of the device to higher densities and larger array sizes. We show the performance of the system by sequencing three bacterial genomes, its robustness and scalability by producing ion chips with up to 10 times as many sensors and sequencing a human genome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rothberg, Jonathan M -- Hinz, Wolfgang -- Rearick, Todd M -- Schultz, Jonathan -- Mileski, William -- Davey, Mel -- Leamon, John H -- Johnson, Kim -- Milgrew, Mark J -- Edwards, Matthew -- Hoon, Jeremy -- Simons, Jan F -- Marran, David -- Myers, Jason W -- Davidson, John F -- Branting, Annika -- Nobile, John R -- Puc, Bernard P -- Light, David -- Clark, Travis A -- Huber, Martin -- Branciforte, Jeffrey T -- Stoner, Isaac B -- Cawley, Simon E -- Lyons, Michael -- Fu, Yutao -- Homer, Nils -- Sedova, Marina -- Miao, Xin -- Reed, Brian -- Sabina, Jeffrey -- Feierstein, Erika -- Schorn, Michelle -- Alanjary, Mohammad -- Dimalanta, Eileen -- Dressman, Devin -- Kasinskas, Rachel -- Sokolsky, Tanya -- Fidanza, Jacqueline A -- Namsaraev, Eugeni -- McKernan, Kevin J -- Williams, Alan -- Roth, G Thomas -- Bustillo, James -- R01 HG005094/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jul 20;475(7356):348-52. doi: 10.1038/nature10242.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Ion Torrent by Life Technologies, Suite 100, 246 Goose Lane, Guilford, Connecticut 06437, USA.

    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are eukaryotic integral membrane proteins that modulate biological function by initiating cellular signalling in response to chemically diverse agonists. Despite recent progress in the structural biology of GPCRs, the molecular basis for agonist binding and allosteric modulation of these proteins is poorly understood. Structural knowledge of agonist-bound states is essential for deciphering the mechanism of receptor activation, and for structure-guided design and optimization of ligands. However, the crystallization of agonist-bound GPCRs has been hampered by modest affinities and rapid off-rates of available agonists. Using the inactive structure of the human beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) as a guide, we designed a beta(2)AR agonist that can be covalently tethered to a specific site on the receptor through a disulphide bond. The covalent beta(2)AR-agonist complex forms efficiently, and is capable of activating a heterotrimeric G protein. We crystallized a covalent agonist-bound beta(2)AR-T4L fusion protein in lipid bilayers through the use of the lipidic mesophase method, and determined its structure at 3.5 A resolution. A comparison to the inactive structure and an antibody-stabilized active structure (companion paper) shows how binding events at both the extracellular and intracellular surfaces are required to stabilize an active conformation of the receptor. The structures are in agreement with long-timescale (up to 30 mus) molecular dynamics simulations showing that an agonist-bound active conformation spontaneously relaxes to an inactive-like conformation in the absence of a G protein or stabilizing antibody.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074335/" 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/PMC3074335/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rosenbaum, Daniel M -- Zhang, Cheng -- Lyons, Joseph A -- Holl, Ralph -- Aragao, David -- Arlow, Daniel H -- Rasmussen, Soren G F -- Choi, Hee-Jung -- Devree, Brian T -- Sunahara, Roger K -- Chae, Pil Seok -- Gellman, Samuel H -- Dror, Ron O -- Shaw, David E -- Weis, William I -- Caffrey, Martin -- Gmeiner, Peter -- Kobilka, Brian K -- 50GM073210/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM75915/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- M083118/PHS HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM75913/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P60DK-20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471-20/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jan 13;469(7329):236-40. doi: 10.1038/nature09665.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, 279 Campus Drive, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21228876" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR-1) and CD95 (also called Fas or APO-1) are cytokine receptors that engage the apoptosis pathway through a region of intracellular homology, designated the "death domain." Another death domain-containing member of the TNFR family, death receptor 3 (DR3), was identified and was shown to induce both apoptosis and activation of nuclear factor kappaB. Expression of DR3 appears to be restricted to tissues enriched in lymphocytes. DR3 signal transduction is mediated by a complex of intracellular signaling molecules including TRADD, TRAF2, FADD, and FLICE.
