    Premature p34cdc2 activation required for apoptosis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-25
    Description: Activation of the serine-threonine kinase p34cdc2 at an inappropriate time during the cell cycle leads to cell death that resembles apoptosis. Premature activation of p34cdc2 was shown to be required for apoptosis induced by a lymphocyte granule protease. The kinase was rapidly activated and tyrosine dephosphorylated at the initiation of apoptosis. DNA fragmentation and nuclear collapse could be prevented by blocking p34cdc2 activity with excess peptide substrate, or by inactivating p34cdc2 in a temperature-sensitive mutant. Premature p34cdc2 activation may be a general mechanism by which cells induced to undergo apoptosis initiate the disruption of the nucleus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shi, L -- Nishioka, W K -- Th'ng, J -- Bradbury, E M -- Litchfield, D W -- Greenberg, A H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1143-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8108732" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    DNA loop repair by human cell extracts (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-04
    Description: An activity in human cell extracts is described that repairs DNA with loops of five or more unpaired bases. Repair is strand-specific and is directed by a nick located 5' or 3' to the loop. This repair is observed in a colorectal cancer cell line that is devoid of a wild-type hMLH1 gene and is deficient in repair of mismatches. However, a cell line with deletions in both hMSH2 alleles is deficient in repair of both loops and mismatches. Defects in loop repair may be relevant to the repetitive-sequence instability observed in cancers and other hereditary diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Umar, A -- Boyer, J C -- Kunkel, T A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):814-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973637" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structures of ternary complexes of rat DNA polymerase beta, a DNA template-primer, and ddCTP (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-24
    Description: Two ternary complexes of rat DNA polymerase beta (pol beta), a DNA template-primer, and dideoxycytidine triphosphate (ddCTP) have been determined at 2.9 A and 3.6 A resolution, respectively. ddCTP is the triphosphate of dideoxycytidine (ddC), a nucleoside analog that targets the reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and is at present used to treat AIDS. Although crystals of the two complexes belong to different space groups, the structures are similar, suggesting that the polymerase-DNA-ddCTP interactions are not affected by crystal packing forces. In the pol beta active site, the attacking 3'-OH of the elongating primer, the ddCTP phosphates, and two Mg2+ ions are all clustered around Asp190, Asp192, and Asp256. Two of these residues, Asp190 and Asp256, are present in the amino acid sequences of all polymerases so far studied and are also spatially similar in the four polymerases--the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, T7 RNA polymerase, and rat DNA pol beta--whose crystal structures are now known. A two-metal ion mechanism is described for the nucleotidyl transfer reaction and may apply to all polymerases. In the ternary complex structures analyzed, pol beta binds to the DNA template-primer in a different manner from that recently proposed for other polymerase-DNA models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pelletier, H -- Sawaya, M R -- Kumar, A -- Wilson, S H -- Kraut, J -- CA17374/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- ES06839/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- GM10928/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1891-903.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, San Diego 92093-0317.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7516580" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequestration of GPI-anchored proteins in caveolae triggered by cross-linking (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-24
    Description: Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins have been reported to reside in clusters collected over small membrane invaginations called caveolae. The detection of different GPI-anchored proteins with fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies showed that these proteins are not constitutively concentrated in caveolae; they enter these structures independently after cross-linking with polyclonal secondary antibodies. Analysis of the cell surface distribution of the GPI-anchored folate receptor by electron microscopy confirms these observations. Thus, multimerization of GPI-anchored proteins regulates their sequestration in caveolae, but in the absence of agents that promote clustering they are diffusely distributed over the plasma membrane.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mayor, S -- Rothberg, K G -- Maxfield, F R -- DK27083/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1948-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7516582" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inhibition of NF-kappa B by sodium salicylate and aspirin (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-12
    Description: The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) is critical for the inducible expression of multiple cellular and viral genes involved in inflammation and infection including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and adhesion molecules. The anti-inflammatory drugs sodium salicylate and aspirin inhibited the activation of NF-kappa B, which further explains the mechanism of action of these drugs. This inhibition prevented the degradation of the NF-kappa B inhibitor, I kappa B, and therefore NF-kappa B was retained in the cytosol. Sodium salicylate and aspirin also inhibited NF-kappa B-dependent transcription from the Ig kappa enhancer and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) in transfected T cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kopp, E -- Ghosh, S -- R01 AI 33443-01A1/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 12;265(5174):956-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06536.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8052854" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-01
    Description: Here it is shown, with the use of protein-protein photocrosslinking, that the carboxyl-terminal region of the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase (RNAP) is in direct physical proximity to the activating region of the catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) in the ternary complex of the lac promoter, RNAP, and CAP.

    The structure of flavocytochrome c sulfide dehydrogenase from a purple phototrophic bacterium (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-21
    Description: The structure of the heterodimeric flavocytochrome c sulfide dehydrogenase from Chromatium vinosum was determined at a resolution of 2.53 angstroms. It contains a glutathione reductase-like flavin-binding subunit and a diheme cytochrome subunit. The diheme cytochrome folds as two domains, each resembling mitochondrial cytochrome c, and has an unusual interpropionic acid linkage joining the two heme groups in the interior of the subunit. The active site of the flavoprotein subunit contains a catalytically important disulfide bridge located above the pyrimidine portion of the flavin ring. A tryptophan, threonine, or tyrosine side chain may provide a partial conduit for electron transfer to one of the heme groups located 10 angstroms from the flavin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Z W -- Koh, M -- Van Driessche, G -- Van Beeumen, J J -- Bartsch, R G -- Meyer, T E -- Cusanovich, M A -- Mathews, F S -- GM-20530/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-21277/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):430-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939681" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of the allosteric regulatory enzyme of purine biosynthesis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-03
    Description: Multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) has been used to determine the structure of the regulatory enzyme of de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides, glutamine 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) amidotransferase, from Bacillus subtilis. This allosteric enzyme, a 200-kilodalton tetramer, is subject to end product regulation by purine nucleotides. The metalloenzyme from B. subtilis is a paradigm for the higher eukaryotic enzymes, which have been refractory to isolation in stable form. The two folding domains of the polypeptide are correlated with functional domains for glutamine binding and for transfer of ammonia to the substrate PRPP. Eight molecules of the feedback inhibitor adenosine monophosphate (AMP) are bound to the tetrameric enzyme in two types of binding sites: the PRPP catalytic site of each subunit and an unusual regulatory site that is immediately adjacent to each active site but is between subunits. An oxygen-sensitive [4Fe-4S] cluster in each subunit is proposed to regulate protein turnover in vivo and is distant from the catalytic site. Oxygen sensitivity of the cluster is diminished by AMP, which blocks a channel through the protein to the cluster. The structure is representative of both glutamine amidotransferases and phosphoribosyltransferases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, J L -- Zaluzec, E J -- Wery, J P -- Niu, L -- Switzer, R L -- Zalkin, H -- Satow, Y -- DK-42303/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM-24658/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK042303/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1427-33.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8197456" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) constitute a family of receptor-like and cytoplasmic signal transducing enzymes that catalyze the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine residues and are characterized by homologous catalytic domains. The crystal structure of a representative member of this family, the 37-kilodalton form (residues 1 to 321) of PTP1B, has been determined at 2.8 A resolution. The enzyme consists of a single domain with the catalytic site located at the base of a shallow cleft. The phosphate recognition site is created from a loop that is located at the amino-terminus of an alpha helix. This site is formed from an 11-residue sequence motif that is diagnostic of PTPs and the dual specificity phosphatases, and that contains the catalytically essential cysteine and arginine residues. The position of the invariant cysteine residue within the phosphate binding site is consistent with its role as a nucleophile in the catalytic reaction. The structure of PTP1B should serve as a model for other members of the PTP family and as a framework for understanding the mechanism of tyrosine dephosphorylation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barford, D -- Flint, A J -- Tonks, N K -- CA53840/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1397-404.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉W.M.

    Role of bone marrow-derived cells in presenting MHC class I-restricted tumor antigens (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-13
    Description: Many tumors express tumor-specific antigens capable of being presented to CD8+ T cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Antigen presentation models predict that the tumor cell itself should present these antigens to T cells. However, when conditions for the priming of tumor-specific responses were examined in mice, no detectable presentation of MHC class I-restricted tumor antigens by the tumor itself was found. Rather, tumor antigens were exclusively presented by host bone marrow-derived cells. Thus, MHC class I-restricted antigens are efficiently transferred in vivo to bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells, which suggests that human leukocyte antigen matching may be less critical in the application of tumor vaccines than previously thought.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, A Y -- Golumbek, P -- Ahmadzadeh, M -- Jaffee, E -- Pardoll, D -- Levitsky, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):961-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7513904" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A specific inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-19
    Description: A small molecule called PD 153035 inhibited the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase with a 5-pM inhibition constant. The inhibitor was specific for the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase and inhibited other purified tyrosine kinases only at micromolar or higher concentrations. PD 153035 rapidly suppressed autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor at low nanomolar concentrations in fibroblasts or in human epidermoid carcinoma cells and selectively blocked EGF-mediated cellular processes including mitogenesis, early gene expression, and oncogenic transformation. PD 153035 demonstrates an increase in potency over that of other tyrosine kinase inhibitors of four to five orders of magnitude for inhibition of isolated EGF receptor tyrosine kinase and three to four orders of magnitude for inhibition of cellular phosphorylation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fry, D W -- Kraker, A J -- McMichael, A -- Ambroso, L A -- Nelson, J M -- Leopold, W R -- Connors, R W -- Bridges, A J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 19;265(5175):1093-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Parke-Davis Pharmaceutical Research, Division of Warner-Lambert Company, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8066447" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequential interactions of the TCR with two distinct cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-25
    Description: The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) initiates signals by interacting with cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) through a 17-residue sequence motif [called the antigen recognition activation motif (ARAM)] that is contained in the TCR zeta and CD3 chains. TCR stimulation induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular substrates, including the ARAMs. Lck kinase activity is required for phosphorylation of two conserved tyrosine residues in an ARAM. This phosphorylation leads to the recruitment of a second cytoplasmic PTK, ZAP-70, through both of the ZAP-70 Src homology 2 domains and its phosphorylation. Thus, TCR signal transduction is initiated by the sequential interaction of two PTKs with TCR ARAMs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Iwashima, M -- Irving, B A -- van Oers, N S -- Chan, A C -- Weiss, A -- AR-20684/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- GM39553/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1136-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7509083" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: The pathogenesis of amoebic dysentery is a result of cytolysis of the colonic mucosa by the parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. The cytolysis results in extensive local ulceration and allows the amoeba to penetrate and metastasize to distant sites. Factors involved in this process were defined with three clones that express hemolytic activities in Escherichia coli. These potential amoebic virulence determinants were also toxic to human colonic epithelial cells, the primary cellular targets in amoebal invasion of the large intestine. The coding sequences for the hemolysins were close to each other on a 2.6-kilobase segment of a 25-kilobase extrachromosomal DNA element. The structural genes for the hemolysins were within inverted repeats that encode ribosomal RNAs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jansson, A -- Gillin, F -- Kagardt, U -- Hagblom, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1440-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, Uppsala University, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128227" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Fusion of a kinase gene, ALK, to a nucleolar protein gene, NPM, in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-04
    Description: The 2;5 chromosomal translocation occurs in most anaplastic large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas arising from activated T lymphocytes. This rearrangement was shown to fuse the NPM nucleolar phosphoprotein gene on chromosome 5q35 to a previously unidentified protein tyrosine kinase gene, ALK, on chromosome 2p23. In the predicted hybrid protein, the amino terminus of nucleophosmin (NPM) is linked to the catalytic domain of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Expressed in the small intestine, testis, and brain but not in normal lymphoid cells, ALK shows greatest sequence similarity to the insulin receptor subfamily of kinases. Unscheduled expression of the truncated ALK may contribute to malignant transformation in these lymphomas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Morris, S W -- Kirstein, M N -- Valentine, M B -- Dittmer, K G -- Shapiro, D N -- Saltman, D L -- Look, A T -- CA 21765/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- KO8 CA 01702/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA 20180/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 4;263(5151):1281-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Experimental Oncology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN 38105.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8122112" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The crystal structure of beta-D-cellotetraose shows the same molecule packing as cellulose II, with two antiparallel molecules in the unit cell: For cellulose II, the orientation of the C6-O6 bonds has been described as gauche-trans and trans-gauche, respectively, for the two antiparallel molecules, which otherwise have identical conformations. In contrast, in beta-D-cellotetraose all C6-O6 bonds are gauche-trans, but the conformations of the two antiparallel molecules are different. Energy minimization and molecular dynamics studies suggest that the structure of cellulose II should be reinvestigated in light of these findings.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gessler, K -- Krauss, N -- Steiner, T -- Betzel, C -- Sandmann, C -- Saenger, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1027-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Kristallographie, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973653" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Open "back door" in a molecular dynamics simulation of acetylcholinesterase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-04
    Description: The enzyme acetylcholinesterase generates a strong electrostatic field that can attract the cationic substrate acetylcholine to the active site. However, the long and narrow active site gorge seems inconsistent with the enzyme's high catalytic rate. A molecular dynamics simulation of acetylcholinesterase in water reveals the transient opening of a short channel, large enough to pass a water molecule, through a thin wall of the active site near tryptophan-84. This simulation suggests that substrate, products, or solvent could move through this "back door," in addition to the entrance revealed by the crystallographic structure. Electrostatic calculations show a strong field at the back door, oriented to attract the substrate and the reaction product choline and to repel the other reaction product, acetate. Analysis of the open back door conformation suggests a mutation that could seal the back door and thus test the hypothesis that thermal motion of this enzyme may open multiple routes of access to its active site.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gilson, M K -- Straatsma, T P -- McCammon, J A -- Ripoll, D R -- Faerman, C H -- Axelsen, P H -- Silman, I -- Sussman, J L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 4;263(5151):1276-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Houston, TX 77204-5641.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8122110" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Association of intestinal peptide transport with a protein related to the cadherin superfamily (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: The first step in oral absorption of many medically important peptide-based drugs is mediated by an intestinal proton-dependent peptide transporter. This transporter facilitates the oral absorption of beta-lactam antibiotics and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors from the intestine into enterocytes lining the luminal wall. A monoclonal antibody that blocked uptake of cephalexin was used to identify and clone a gene that encodes an approximately 92-kilodalton membrane protein that was associated with the acquisition of peptide transport activity by transport-deficient cells. The amino acid sequence deduced from the complementary DNA sequence of the cloned gene indicated that this transport-associated protein shares several conserved structural elements with the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent, cell-cell adhesion proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dantzig, A H -- Hoskins, J A -- Tabas, L B -- Bright, S -- Shepard, R L -- Jenkins, I L -- Duckworth, D C -- Sportsman, J R -- Mackensen, D -- Rosteck, P R Jr -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):430-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lilly Research Laboratories, Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN 46285.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153632" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Two molecular mechanisms of T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, one perforin-based, the other Fas-based, have been demonstrated. To determine the extent of their contribution to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, a range of effector cells from normal control or perforin-deficient mice were tested against a panel of target cells with various levels of Fas expression. All cytotoxicity observed was due to either of these mechanisms, and no third mechanism was detected. Thus, the perforin- and Fas-based mechanisms may account for all T cell-mediated cytotoxicity in short-term in vitro assays.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kagi, D -- Vignaux, F -- Ledermann, B -- Burki, K -- Depraetere, V -- Nagata, S -- Hengartner, H -- Golstein, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 22;265(5171):528-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, University of Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7518614" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-10
    Description: Specific protein-ligand interactions are critical for cellular function, and most proteins select their partners with sharp discrimination. However, the oligopeptide-binding protein of Salmonella typhimurium (OppA) binds peptides of two to five amino acid residues without regard to sequence. The crystal structure of OppA reveals a three-domain organization, unlike other periplasmic binding proteins. In OppA-peptide complexes, the ligands are completely enclosed in the protein interior, a mode of binding that normally imposes tight specificity. The protein fulfills the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic potential of the ligand main chain and accommodates the peptide side chains in voluminous hydrated cavities.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tame, J R -- Murshudov, G N -- Dodson, E J -- Neil, T K -- Dodson, G G -- Higgins, C F -- Wilkinson, A J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 10;264(5165):1578-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of York, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8202710" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-24
    Description: Structures of the 31-kilodalton catalytic domain of rat DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) and the whole 39-kilodalton enzyme were determined at 2.3 and 3.6 angstrom resolution, respectively. The 31-kilodalton domain is composed of fingers, palm, and thumb subdomains arranged to form a DNA binding channel reminiscent of the polymerase domains of the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, and bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase. The amino-terminal 8-kilodalton domain is attached to the fingers subdomain by a flexible hinge. The two invariant aspartates found in all polymerase sequences and implicated in catalytic activity have the same geometric arrangement within structurally similar but topologically distinct palms, indicating that the polymerases have maintained, or possibly re-evolved, a common nucleotidyl transfer mechanism. The location of Mn2+ and deoxyadenosine triphosphate in pol beta confirms the role of the invariant aspartates in metal ion and deoxynucleoside triphosphate binding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sawaya, M R -- Pelletier, H -- Kumar, A -- Wilson, S H -- Kraut, J -- CA17374/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- ES06839/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- GM10928/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1930-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, San Diego 92093-0317.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7516581" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of LacI member, PurR, bound to DNA: minor groove binding by alpha helices (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-04
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of a ternary complex of the purine repressor, PurR, bound to both its corepressor, hypoxanthine, and the 16-base pair purF operator site has been solved at 2.7 A resolution by x-ray crystallography. The bipartite structure of PurR consists of an amino-terminal DNA-binding domain and a larger carboxyl-terminal corepressor binding and dimerization domain that is similar to that of the bacterial periplasmic binding proteins. The DNA-binding domain contains a helix-turn-helix motif that makes base-specific contacts in the major groove of the DNA. Base contacts are also made by residues of symmetry-related alpha helices, the "hinge" helices, which bind deeply in the minor groove. Critical to hinge helix-minor groove binding is the intercalation of the side chains of Leu54 and its symmetry-related mate, Leu54', into the central CpG-base pair step. These residues thereby act as "leucine levers" to pry open the minor groove and kink the purF operator by 45 degrees.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schumacher, M A -- Choi, K Y -- Zalkin, H -- Brennan, R G -- GM 24658/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 49244/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):763-70.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland 97201-3098.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973627" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The three-dimensional crystal structure of the catalytic core of cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma reesei (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-22
    Description: Cellulose is the major polysaccharide of plants where it plays a predominantly structural role. A variety of highly specialized microorganisms have evolved to produce enzymes that either synergistically or in complexes can carry out the complete hydrolysis of cellulose. The structure of the major cellobiohydrolase, CBHI, of the potent cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei has been determined and refined to 1.8 angstrom resolution. The molecule contains a 40 angstrom long active site tunnel that may account for many of the previously poorly understood macroscopic properties of the enzyme and its interaction with solid cellulose. The active site residues were identified by solving the structure of the enzyme complexed with an oligosaccharide, o-iodobenzyl-1-thio-beta-cellobioside. The three-dimensional structure is very similar to a family of bacterial beta-glucanases with the main-chain topology of the plant legume lectins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Divne, C -- Stahlberg, J -- Reinikainen, T -- Ruohonen, L -- Pettersson, G -- Knowles, J K -- Teeri, T T -- Jones, T A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 22;265(5171):524-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Uppsala University, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036495" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Activation of the sphingomyelin cycle through the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-09
    Description: The role of the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in signal transduction is undefined. Nerve growth factor can activate the sphingomyelin cycle, generating the putative-lipid second messenger ceramide. In T9 glioma cells, addition of a cell-permeable ceramide analog mimicked the effects of nerve growth factor on cell growth inhibition and process formation. This signaling pathway appears to be mediated by p75NTR in T9 cells and NIH 3T3 cells overexpressing p75NTR. Expression of an epidermal growth factor receptor-p75NTR chimera in T9 cells imparted to epidermal growth factor the ability to activate the sphingomyelin cycle. These data demonstrate that p75NTR is capable of signaling independently of the trk neurotrophin receptor (p140trk) and that ceramide may be a mediator in neurotrophin biology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dobrowsky, R T -- Werner, M H -- Castellino, A M -- Chao, M V -- Hannun, Y A -- AG05531/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- GM43825/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 9;265(5178):1596-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departments of Medicine and Cell Biology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8079174" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fusion of BERH-2 rat hepatocellular carcinoma cells with activated B cells produced hybrid cells that lost their tumorigenicity and became immunogenic. Syngeneic rats injected with BERH-2-B hybrid cells became resistant to challenge with parental BERH-2 cells, and rats with established BERH-2 hepatomas were cured by subsequent injection of BERH-2-B cells. Both CD4+ and CD8+ cells were essential for the induction of protective immunity; however, only CD8+ cells were required for the eradication of BERH-2 tumors. The generation of hybrid tumor cells that elicit antitumor immune responses may be a useful strategy for cancer immunotherapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guo, Y -- Wu, M -- Chen, H -- Wang, X -- Liu, G -- Li, G -- Ma, J -- Sy, M S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 28;263(5146):518-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Tumor Immunology and Biotherapy Center, Eastern Institute of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Shanghai, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7507262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of the catalytic domain of HIV-1 integrase: similarity to other polynucleotidyl transferases (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-23
    Description: HIV integrase is the enzyme responsible for inserting the viral DNA into the host chromosome; it is essential for HIV replication. The crystal structure of the catalytically active core domain (residues 50 to 212) of HIV-1 integrase was determined at 2.5 A resolution. The central feature of the structure is a five-stranded beta sheet flanked by helical regions. The overall topology reveals that this domain of integrase belongs to a superfamily of polynucleotidyl transferases that includes ribonuclease H and the Holliday junction resolvase RuvC. The active site region is identified by the position of two of the conserved carboxylate residues essential for catalysis, which are located at similar positions in ribonuclease H. In the crystal, two molecules form a dimer with a extensive solvent-inaccessible interface of 1300 A2 per monomer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dyda, F -- Hickman, A B -- Jenkins, T M -- Engelman, A -- Craigie, R -- Davies, D R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 23;266(5193):1981-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Biology, NIDDK, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892-0560.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7801124" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-06-10
    Description: A homozygous mutation in the kinase domain of ZAP-70, a T cell receptor-associated protein tyrosine kinase, produced a distinctive form of human severe combined immunodeficiency. Manifestations of this disorder included profound immunodeficiency, absence of peripheral CD8+ T cells, and abundant peripheral CD4+ T cells that were refractory to T cell receptor-mediated activation. These findings demonstrate that ZAP-70 is essential for human T cell function and suggest that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells depend on different intracellular signaling pathways to support their development or survival.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Elder, M E -- Lin, D -- Clever, J -- Chan, A C -- Hope, T J -- Weiss, A -- Parslow, T G -- AI29313/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM43574/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR01271/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 10;264(5165):1596-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0110.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8202712" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mutation of a mutL homolog in hereditary colon cancer (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-18
    Description: Some cases of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) are due to alterations in a mutS-related mismatch repair gene. A search of a large database of expressed sequence tags derived from random complementary DNA clones revealed three additional human mismatch repair genes, all related to the bacterial mutL gene. One of these genes (hMLH1) resides on chromosome 3p21, within 1 centimorgan of markers previously linked to cancer susceptibility in HNPCC kindreds. Mutations of hMLH1 that would disrupt the gene product were identified in such kindreds, demonstrating that this gene is responsible for the disease. These results suggest that defects in any of several mismatch repair genes can cause HNPCC.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Papadopoulos, N -- Nicolaides, N C -- Wei, Y F -- Ruben, S M -- Carter, K C -- Rosen, C A -- Haseltine, W A -- Fleischmann, R D -- Fraser, C M -- Adams, M D -- CA35494/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA47527/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 18;263(5153):1625-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, Baltimore, MD 21231.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128251" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of the Tet repressor-tetracycline complex and regulation of antibiotic resistance (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: The most frequently occurring resistance of Gram-negative bacteria against tetracyclines is triggered by drug recognition of the Tet repressor. This causes dissociation of the repressor-operator DNA complex and enables expression of the resistance protein TetA, which is responsible for active efflux of tetracycline. The 2.5 angstrom resolution crystal structure of the homodimeric Tet repressor complexed with tetracycline-magnesium reveals detailed drug recognition. The orientation of the operator-binding helix-turn-helix motifs of the repressor is inverted in comparison with other DNA binding proteins. The repressor-drug complex is unable to interact with DNA because the separation of the DNA binding motifs is 5 angstroms wider than usually observed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hinrichs, W -- Kisker, C -- Duvel, M -- Muller, A -- Tovar, K -- Hillen, W -- Saenger, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):418-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Kristallographie, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153629" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: GADD45 is a ubiquitously expressed mammalian gene that is induced by DNA damage and certain other stresses. Like another p53-regulated gene, p21WAF1/CIP1, whose product binds to cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk's) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), GADD45 has been associated with growth suppression. Gadd45 was found to bind to PCNA, a normal component of Cdk complexes and a protein involved in DNA replication and repair. Gadd45 stimulated DNA excision repair in vitro and inhibited entry of cells into S phase. These results establish GADD45 as a link between the p53-dependent cell cycle checkpoint and DNA repair.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, M L -- Chen, I T -- Zhan, Q -- Bae, I -- Chen, C Y -- Gilmer, T M -- Kastan, M B -- O'Connor, P M -- Fornace, A J Jr -- ES05777/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 25;266(5189):1376-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Pharmacology, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973727" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Specific interaction of type I receptors of the TGF-beta family with the immunophilin FKBP-12 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-29
    Description: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family members bind to receptors that consist of heteromeric serine-threonine kinase subunits (type I and type II). In a yeast genetic screen, the immunophilin FKBP-12, a target of the macrolides FK506 and rapamycin, interacted with the type I receptor for TGF-beta and with other type I receptors. Deletion, point mutation, and co-immunoprecipitation studies further demonstrated the specificity of the interaction. Excess FK506 competed with type I receptors for binding to FKBP-12, which suggests that these receptors share or overlap the macrolide binding site on FKBP-12, and therefore they may represent its natural ligand. The specific interaction between the type I receptors and FKBP-12 suggests that FKBP-12 may play a role in type I receptor-mediated signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, T -- Donahoe, P K -- Zervos, A S -- CA17393/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- NICHD P-30 HD28138/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NICHD P-32 HD07396/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 29;265(5172):674-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cutaneous Biology Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7518616" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-02-11
    Description: Thermodynamic studies have demonstrated the central importance of a large negative heat capacity change (delta C degree assoc) in site-specific protein-DNA recognition. Dissection of the large negative delta C degree assoc and the entropy change of protein-ligand and protein-DNA complexation provide a thermodynamic signature identifying processes in which local folding is coupled to binding. Estimates of the number of residues that fold on binding obtained from this analysis agree with structural data. Structural comparisons indicate that these local folding transitions create key parts of the protein-DNA interface. The energetic implications of this "induced fit" model for DNA site recognition are considered.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Spolar, R S -- Record, M T Jr -- GM23467/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 11;263(5148):777-84.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison 53706.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303294" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The tailspike protein (TSP) of Salmonella typhimurium phage P22 is a part of the apparatus by which the phage attaches to the bacterial host and hydrolyzes the O antigen. It has served as a model system for genetic and biochemical analysis of protein folding. The x-ray structure of a shortened TSP (residues 109 to 666) was determined to a 2.0 angstrom resolution. Each subunit of the homotrimer contains a large parallel beta helix. The interdigitation of the polypeptide chains at the carboxyl termini is important to protrimer formation in the folding pathway and to thermostability of the mature protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Steinbacher, S -- Seckler, R -- Miller, S -- Steipe, B -- Huber, R -- Reinemer, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 15;265(5170):383-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max-Planck-Institut fur Biochemie, Abteilung Strukturforschung, Martinsried, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023158" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Stimulatory effects of yeast and mammalian 14-3-3 proteins on the Raf protein kinase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-16
    Description: Intracellular signaling from receptor tyrosine kinases in mammalian cells results in activation of a signal cascade that includes the guanine nucleotide-binding protein Ras and the protein kinases Raf, MEK [mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase], and MAPK. MAPK activation that is dependent on the coupling of Ras and Raf was reconstituted in yeast. Yeast genes were isolated that, when overexpressed, enhanced the function of Raf. One of them is identical to BMH1, which encodes a protein similar to members of the mammalian 14-3-3 family. Bacterially synthesized mammalian 14-3-3 protein stimulated the activity of Raf prepared from yeast cells expressing c-Raf-1. Thus, the 14-3-3 protein may participate in or be required for activation of Raf.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Irie, K -- Gotoh, Y -- Yashar, B M -- Errede, B -- Nishida, E -- Matsumoto, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 16;265(5179):1716-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of Science, Nagoya University, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8085159" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of a peptide recognized by five melanoma-specific human cytotoxic T cell lines (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-29
    Description: Of several thousand peptides presented by the major histocompatibility molecule HLA-A2.1, at least nine are recognized by melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify and to sequence one of these peptide epitopes. Melanoma-specific CTLs had an exceptionally high affinity for this nine-residue peptide, which reconstituted an epitope for CTL lines from each of five different melanoma patients tested. Recognition by multiple CTL lines suggests that this may be a promising candidate for use in peptide-based melanoma vaccines.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cox, A L -- Skipper, J -- Chen, Y -- Henderson, R A -- Darrow, T L -- Shabanowitz, J -- Engelhard, V H -- Hunt, D F -- Slingluff, C L Jr -- AI33993/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA57653/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM37537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):716-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22908.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7513441" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of the principal neutralization site of HIV-1 (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-01
    Description: The crystal structure of a complex between a 24-amino acid peptide from the third variable (V3) loop of human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) gp 120 and the Fab fragment of a broadly neutralizing antibody (59.1) was determined to 3 angstrom resolution. The tip of the V3 loop containing the Gly-Pro-Gly-Arg-Ala-Phe sequence adopts a double-turn conformation, which may be the basis of its conservation in many HIV-1 isolates. A complete map of the HIV-1 principal neutralizing determinant was constructed by stitching together structures of V3 loop peptides bound to 59.1 and to an isolate-specific (MN) neutralizing antibody (50.1). Structural conservation of the overlapping epitopes suggests that this biologically relevant conformation could be of use in the design of synthetic vaccines and drugs to inhibit HIV-1 entry and virus-related cellular fusion.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ghiara, J B -- Stura, E A -- Stanfield, R L -- Profy, A T -- Wilson, I A -- GM-46192/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 1;264(5155):82-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7511253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Stat3: a STAT family member activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in response to epidermal growth factor and interleukin-6 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-01
    Description: The STAT family of proteins carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription. A new family member, Stat3, becomes activated through phosphorylation on tyrosine as a DNA binding protein in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) but not interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). It is likely that this phosphoprotein forms homodimers as well as heterodimers with the first described member of the STAT family, Stat91 (renamed Stat1 alpha), which is activated by the IFNs and EGF. Differential activation of different STAT proteins in response to different ligands should help to explain specificity in nuclear signaling from the cell surface.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhong, Z -- Wen, Z -- Darnell, J E Jr -- AI32489/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 1;264(5155):95-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Cell Biology, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8140422" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of a catalytic antibody with a serine protease active site (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-19
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of an unusually active hydrolytic antibody with a phosphonate transition state analog (hapten) bound to the active site has been solved to 2.5 A resolution. The antibody (17E8) catalyzes the hydrolysis of norleucine and methionine phenyl esters and is selective for amino acid esters that have the natural alpha-carbon L configuration. A plot of the pH-dependence of the antibody-catalyzed reaction is bell-shaped with an activity maximum at pH 9.5; experiments on mechanism lend support to the formation of a covalent acyl-antibody intermediate. The structural and kinetic data are complementary and support a hydrolytic mechanism for the antibody that is remarkably similar to that of the serine proteases. The antibody active site contains a Ser-His dyad structure proximal to the phosphorous atom of the bound hapten that resembles two of the three components of the Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad of serine proteases. The antibody active site also contains a Lys residue to stabilize oxyanion formation, and a hydrophobic binding pocket for specific substrate recognition of norleucine and methionine side chains. The structure identifies active site residues that mediate catalysis and suggests specific mutations that may improve the catalytic efficiency of the antibody. This high resolution structure of a catalytic antibody-hapten complex shows that antibodies can converge on active site structures that have arisen through natural enzyme evolution.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhou, G W -- Guo, J -- Huang, W -- Fletterick, R J -- Scanlan, T S -- DK39304/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 19;265(5175):1059-64.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0448.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8066444" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Transformation of lupus-inducing drugs to cytotoxic products by activated neutrophils (1994)

    Publication Date: 1994-11-04
    Description: Drug-induced lupus is a serious side effect of certain medications, but the chemical features that confer this property and the underlying pathogenesis are puzzling. Prototypes of all six therapeutic classes of lupus-inducing drugs were highly cytotoxic only in the presence of activated neutrophils. Removal of extracellular hydrogen peroxide before, but not after, exposure of the drug to activated neutrophils prevented cytotoxicity. Neutrophil-dependent cytotoxicity required the enzymatic action of myeloperoxidase, resulting in the chemical transformation of the drug to a reactive product. The capacity of drugs to serve as myeloperoxidase substrates in vitro was associated with the ability to induce lupus in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jiang, X -- Khursigara, G -- Rubin, R L -- MO1 RR00833/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG09574/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):810-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉W.

    Catalysis of ATP-dependent homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange by yeast RAD51 protein (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-26
    Description: The RAD51 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for genetic recombination and DNA double-strand break repair. Here it is demonstrated that RAD51 protein pairs circular viral single-stranded DNA from phi X 174 or M13 with its respective homologous linear double-stranded form. The product of synapsis between these DNA partners is further processed by RAD51 to yield nicked circular duplex DNA, which indicates that RAD51 can catalyze strand exchange. The pairing and strand exchange reaction requires adenosine triphosphate, a result consistent with the presence of a DNA-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity in RAD51 protein. Thus, RAD51 is a eukaryotic recombination protein that can catalyze the strand exchange reaction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sung, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 26;265(5176):1241-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Sealy Center for Molecular Science, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston 77555-1061.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8066464" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Maspin, a serpin with tumor-suppressing activity in human mammary epithelial cells (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-28
    Description: A gene encoding a protein related to the serpin family of protease inhibitors was identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene that may play a role in human breast cancer. The gene product, called maspin, is expressed in normal mammary epithelial cells but not in most mammary carcinoma cell lines. Transfection of MDA-MB-435 mammary carcinoma cells with the maspin gene did not alter the cells' growth properties in vitro, but reduced the cells' ability to induce tumors and metastasize in nude mice and to invade through a basement membrane matrix in vitro. Analysis of human breast cancer specimens revealed that loss of maspin expression occurred most frequently in advanced cancers. These results support the hypothesis that maspin functions as a tumor suppressor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zou, Z -- Anisowicz, A -- Hendrix, M J -- Thor, A -- Neveu, M -- Sheng, S -- Rafidi, K -- Seftor, E -- Sager, R -- CA39814/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA22427/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA59702/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 28;263(5146):526-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Cancer Genetics, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8290962" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An increased percentage of long amyloid beta protein secreted by familial amyloid beta protein precursor (beta APP717) mutants (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-27
    Description: Normal processing of the amyloid beta protein precursor (beta APP) results in secretion of a soluble 4-kilodalton protein essentially identical to the amyloid beta protein (A beta) that forms insoluble fibrillar deposits in Alzheimer's disease. Human neuroblastoma (M17) cells transfected with constructs expressing wild-type beta APP or the beta APP717 mutants linked to familial Alzheimer's disease were compared by (i) isolation of metabolically labeled 4-kilodalton A beta from conditioned medium, digestion with cyanogen bromide, and analysis of the carboxyl-terminal peptides released, or (ii) analysis of the A beta in conditioned medium with sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that discriminate A beta 1-40 from the longer A beta 1-42. Both methods demonstrated that the 4-kilodalton A beta released from wild-type beta APP is primarily but not exclusively A beta 1-40. The beta APP717 mutations, which are located three residues carboxyl to A beta 43, consistently caused a 1.5- to 1.9-fold increase in the percentage of longer A beta generated. Long A beta (for example, A beta 1-42) forms insoluble amyloid fibrils more rapidly than A beta 1-40. Thus, the beta APP717 mutants may cause Alzheimer's disease because they secrete increased amounts of long A beta, thereby fostering amyloid deposition.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Suzuki, N -- Cheung, T T -- Cai, X D -- Odaka, A -- Otvos, L Jr -- Eckman, C -- Golde, T E -- Younkin, S G -- AG06656/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1336-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Discovery Research Division, Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Ibaraki, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191290" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of the catalytic domain of fibroblast collagenase complexed with an inhibitor (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-21
    Description: Collagenase is a zinc-dependent endoproteinase and is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of enzymes. The MMPs participate in connective tissue remodeling events and aberrant regulation has been associated with several pathologies. The 2.4 angstrom resolution structure of the inhibited enzyme revealed that, in addition to the catalytic zinc, there is a second zinc ion and a calcium ion which play a major role in stabilizing the tertiary structure of collagenase. Despite scant sequence homology, collagenase shares structural homology with two other endoproteinases, bacterial thermolysin and crayfish astacin. The detailed description of protein-inhibitor interactions present in the structure will aid in the design of compounds that selectively inhibit individual members of the MMP family. Such inhibitors will be useful in examining the function of MMPs in pathological processes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lovejoy, B -- Cleasby, A -- Hassell, A M -- Longley, K -- Luther, M A -- Weigl, D -- McGeehan, G -- McElroy, A B -- Drewry, D -- Lambert, M H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 21;263(5145):375-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Glaxo Research Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8278810" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Accumulation of HLA-DM, a regulator of antigen presentation, in MHC class II compartments (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-02
    Description: The HLA-DM genes encode an unconventional HLA (human leukocyte antigen) class II molecule that is required for appropriate binding of peptide to classical HLA class II products. In the absence of DM, other class II molecules are unstable upon electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate and are largely associated with a nested set of peptides derived from the invariant chain called CLIP, for class II-associated invariant chain peptides. DMA and DMB associated and accumulated in multilaminar, intracellular compartments with classical class II molecules, but were found infrequently, if at all, at the cell surface. Thus, DM may facilitate peptide binding to class II molecules within these intracellular compartments.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sanderson, F -- Kleijmeer, M J -- Kelly, A -- Verwoerd, D -- Tulp, A -- Neefjes, J J -- Geuze, H J -- Trowsdale, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1566-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Human Immunogenetics Laboratory, Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Holborn, London, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985027" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Ligands for EPH-related receptor tyrosine kinases that require membrane attachment or clustering for activity (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-04
    Description: The EPH-related transmembrane tyrosine kinases constitute the largest known family of receptor-like tyrosine kinases, with many members displaying specific patterns of expression in the developing and adult nervous system. A family of cell surface-bound ligands exhibiting distinct, but overlapping, specificities for these EPH-related kinases was identified. These ligands were unable to act as conventional soluble factors. However, they did function when presented in membrane-bound form, suggesting that they require direct cell-to-cell contact to activate their receptors. Membrane attachment may serve to facilitate ligand dimerization or aggregation, because antibody-mediated clustering activated previously inactive soluble forms of these ligands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Davis, S -- Gale, N W -- Aldrich, T H -- Maisonpierre, P C -- Lhotak, V -- Pawson, T -- Goldfarb, M -- Yancopoulos, G D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):816-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Tarrytown, NY 10591.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973638" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Association of transcription factor APRF and protein kinase Jak1 with the interleukin-6 signal transducer gp130 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-07
    Description: Interleukin-6 (IL-6), leukemia inhibitory factor, oncostatin M, interleukin-11, and ciliary neurotrophic factor bind to receptor complexes that share the signal transducer gp130. Upon binding, the ligands rapidly activate DNA binding of acute-phase response factor (APRF), a protein antigenically related to the p91 subunit of the interferon-stimulated gene factor-3 alpha (ISGF-3 alpha). These cytokines caused tyrosine phosphorylation of APRF and ISGF-3 alpha p91. Protein kinases of the Jak family were also rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated, and both APRF and Jak1 associated with gp130. These data indicate that Jak family protein kinases may participate in IL-6 signaling and that APRF may be activated in a complex with gp130.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lutticken, C -- Wegenka, U M -- Yuan, J -- Buschmann, J -- Schindler, C -- Ziemiecki, A -- Harpur, A G -- Wilks, A F -- Yasukawa, K -- Taga, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 7;263(5143):89-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Biochemistry, RWTH Aachen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8272872" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Binding and stimulation of HIV-1 integrase by a human homolog of yeast transcription factor SNF5 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-23
    Description: Upon entry into a host cell, retroviruses direct the reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome and the establishment of an integrated proviral DNA. The retroviral integrase protein (IN) is responsible for the insertion of the viral DNA into host chromosomal targets. The two-hybrid system was used to identify a human gene product that binds tightly to the human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) integrase in vitro and stimulates its DNA-joining activity. The sequence of the gene suggests that the protein is a human homolog of yeast SNF5, a transcriptional activator required for high-level expression of many genes. The gene, termed INI1 (for integrase interactor 1), may encode a nuclear factor that promotes integration and targets incoming viral DNA to active genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kalpana, G V -- Marmon, S -- Wang, W -- Crabtree, G R -- Goff, S P -- U01 AI 24845/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 23;266(5193):2002-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7801128" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    cDNA cloning and interferon gamma down-regulation of proteasomal subunits X and Y (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-26
    Description: Proteasomes are the proteolytic complex responsible for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted antigen presentation. Interferon gamma treatment increases expression MHC-encoded LMP2 and LMP7 subunits of the proteasome and decreases expression of two proteasome subunits, named X and Y, which alters the proteolytic specificity of proteasomes. Molecular cloning of complementary DNAs encoding X and Y showed that their proteins are proteasomal subunits with high amino acid similarity to LMP7 and LMP2, respectively. Thus, interferon gamma may induce subunit replacements of X and Y by LMP7 and LMP2, respectively, producing proteasomes perhaps more appropriate for the immunological processing of endogenous antigens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Akiyama, K -- Yokota, K -- Kagawa, S -- Shimbara, N -- Tamura, T -- Akioka, H -- Nothwang, H G -- Noda, C -- Tanaka, K -- Ichihara, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 26;265(5176):1231-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Urology, School of Medicine, University of Tokushima, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8066462" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    How a protein binds B12: A 3.0 A X-ray structure of B12-binding domains of methionine synthase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-09
    Description: The crystal structure of a 27-kilodalton methylcobalamin-containing fragment of methionine synthase from Escherichia coli was determined at 3.0 A resolution. This structure depicts cobalamin-protein interactions and reveals that the corrin macrocycle lies between a helical amino-terminal domain and an alpha/beta carboxyl-terminal domain that is a variant of the Rossmann fold. Methylcobalamin undergoes a conformational change on binding the protein; the dimethylbenzimidazole group, which is coordinated to the cobalt in the free cofactor, moves away from the corrin and is replaced by a histidine contributed by the protein. The sequence Asp-X-His-X-X-Gly, which contains this histidine ligand, is conserved in the adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzymes methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase and glutamate mutase, suggesting that displacement of the dimethylbenzimidazole will be a feature common to many cobalamin-binding proteins. Thus the cobalt ligand, His759, and the neighboring residues Asp757 and Ser810, may form a catalytic quartet, Co-His-Asp-Ser, that modulates the reactivity of the B12 prosthetic group in methionine synthase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Drennan, C L -- Huang, S -- Drummond, J T -- Matthews, R G -- Lidwig, M L -- GM08570/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM16429/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM24908/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 9;266(5191):1669-74.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biophysics Research Division, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109-1055.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7992050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A number of bacterial protein toxins, including adenylate cyclase (AC) toxin from Bordetella pertussis, require the product of an accessory gene in order to express their biological activities. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate that activated, wild-type AC toxin was modified by amide-linked palmitoylation on the epsilon-amino group of lysine 983. This modification was absent from a mutant in which the accessory gene had been disrupted. A synthetic palmitoylated peptide corresponding to the tryptic fragment (glutamine 972 to arginine 984) that contained the acylation blocked AC toxin-induced accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, whereas the non-acylated peptide had no effect.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hackett, M -- Guo, L -- Shabanowitz, J -- Hunt, D F -- Hewlett, E L -- DK38942/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM37537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R0-1 AI18000/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):433-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22901.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939682" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Interactions during cell adhesion to external surfaces may reach the level of discrimination of molecular chirality. Cultured epithelial cells interact differently with the [011] faces of the (R,R) and (S,S) calcium tartrate tetrahydrate crystals. In a modified version of the classical Pasteur experiment, the enantiomorphous crystals were sorted out from a 1:1 mixture by the selective adhesion of cells to the (R,R) crystals. This stereospecificity results from molecular recognition between chiral components on the cell surface and the structured crystal surface. Crystals may allow experimental differentiation between distinct stages in cell substrate contacts, providing mechanistic information not readily attainable on conventional heterogeneous surfaces.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hanein, D -- Geiger, B -- Addadi, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1413-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Structural Biology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128221" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

A catalytic mechanism for the ligation of two D-alanine substrates is proposed in which a helix dipole and a hydrogen-bonded triad of tyrosine, serine, and glutamic acid assist binding and deprotonation steps. From sequence comparison, it is proposed that a different triad exists in a recently discovered D-alanine:D-lactate ligase (VanA) present in vancomycin-resistant enterococci. A molecular mechanism for the altered specificity of VanA is suggested.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fan, C -- Moews, P C -- Walsh, C T -- Knox, J R -- 1RO1-AI-34330/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM-49338/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):439-43.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs 06269-3125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939684" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Hin recombinase bound to DNA: the origin of specificity in major and minor groove interactions (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-21
    Description: The structure of the 52-amino acid DNA-binding domain of the prokaryotic Hin recombinase, complexed with a DNA recombination half-site, has been solved by x-ray crystallography at 2.3 angstrom resolution. The Hin domain consists of a three-alpha-helix bundle, with the carboxyl-terminal helix inserted into the major groove of DNA, and two flanking extended polypeptide chains that contact bases in the minor groove. The overall structure displays features resembling both a prototypical bacterial helix-turn-helix and the eukaryotic homeodomain, and in many respects is an intermediate between these two DNA-binding motifs. In addition, a new structural motif is seen: the six-amino acid carboxyl-terminal peptide of the Hin domain runs along the minor groove at the edge of the recombination site, with the peptide backbone facing the floor of the groove and side chains extending away toward the exterior. The x-ray structure provides an almost complete explanation for DNA mutant binding studies in the Hin system and for DNA specificity observed in the Hin-related family of DNA invertases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Feng, J A -- Johnson, R C -- Dickerson, R E -- GM-31299/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-38509/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 21;263(5145):348-55.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Biology Institute, University of California, Los Angeles 90024.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8278807" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 complexed with a class II major histocompatibility molecule HLA-DR1 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-16
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of a Staphylococcus aureus superantigen, toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), complexed with a human class II major histocompatibility molecule (DR1), was determined by x-ray crystallography. The TSST-1 binding site on DR1 overlaps that of the superantigen S. aureus enterotoxin B (SEB), but the two binding modes differ. Whereas SEB binds primarily off one edge of the peptide binding site of DR1, TSST-1 extends over almost one-half of the binding site and contacts both the flanking alpha helices of the histocompatibility antigen and the bound peptide. This difference suggests that the T cell receptor (TCR) would bind to TSST-1:DR1 very differently than to DR1:peptide or SEB:DR1. It also suggests that TSST-1 binding may be dependent on the peptide, though less so than TCR binding, providing a possible explanation for the inability of TSST-1 to competitively block SEB binding to all DR1 molecules on cells (even though the binding sites of TSST-1 and SEB on DR1 overlap almost completely) and suggesting the possibility that T cell activation by superantigen could be directed by peptide antigen.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, J -- Urban, R G -- Strominger, J L -- Wiley, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1870-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7997880" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of a p53 tumor suppressor-DNA complex: understanding tumorigenic mutations (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-15
    Description: Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor are the most frequently observed genetic alterations in human cancer. The majority of the mutations occur in the core domain which contains the sequence-specific DNA binding activity of the p53 protein (residues 102-292), and they result in loss of DNA binding. The crystal structure of a complex containing the core domain of human p53 and a DNA binding site has been determined at 2.2 angstroms resolution and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 20.5 percent. The core domain structure consists of a beta sandwich that serves as a scaffold for two large loops and a loop-sheet-helix motif. The two loops, which are held together in part by a tetrahedrally coordinated zinc atom, and the loop-sheet-helix motif form the DNA binding surface of p53. Residues from the loop-sheet-helix motif interact in the major groove of the DNA, while an arginine from one of the two large loops interacts in the minor groove. The loops and the loop-sheet-helix motif consist of the conserved regions of the core domain and contain the majority of the p53 mutations identified in tumors. The structure supports the hypothesis that DNA binding is critical for the biological activity of p53, and provides a framework for understanding how mutations inactivate it.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cho, Y -- Gorina, S -- Jeffrey, P D -- Pavletich, N P -- NCI CA08748-29/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 15;265(5170):346-55.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics Program, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023157" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Association of insulin receptor substrate-1 with integrins (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-02
    Description: Insulin stimulation was found to promote association of the alpha v beta 3 integrin (a vitronectin receptor) with insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), an intracellular protein that mediates insulin signaling by binding other signaling molecules, including growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) and phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase. Insulin-treated cells expressing the alpha v beta 3 integrin showed 2.5 times more DNA synthesis when plated on vitronectin than on other substrates, whereas cells expressing another vitronectin receptor, alpha v beta 5, did not show this difference. The association between integrin and IRS-1 may be a mechanism for the synergistic action of growth factor and extracellular matrix receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vuori, K -- Ruoslahti, E -- CA 28896/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 30199/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 42507/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1576-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cancer Research Center, La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7527156" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Chemical sequence control of beta-sheet assembly in macromolecular crystals of periodic polypeptides (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-02
    Description: A family of uniform periodic polypeptides has been prepared by bacterial expression of the corresponding artificial genes, with the objective of exploring the potential for control of supramolecular organization in genetically engineered protein-based polymeric materials. The repeating units of the polypeptides consist of oligomeric alanyl-glycine sequences interspersed with glutamic acid residues inserted at intervals of 8 to 14 amino acids. Crystallization of such materials from formic acid produces beta-sheet structures in the solid state, as shown by vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and wide-angle x-ray diffraction. The diffraction results, together with observations from electron microscopy, are consistent with the formation of needle-shaped lamellar crystals whose thickness is controlled by the periodicity of the primary sequence. These results can be used to control solid-state structure in macromolecular materials.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Krejchi, M T -- Atkins, E D -- Waddon, A J -- Fournier, M J -- Mason, T L -- Tirrell, D A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1427-32.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Amherst 01003.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073284" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Phospholipase D: a downstream effector of ARF in granulocytes (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-28
    Description: Activation of the phospholipase D (PLD) pathway is a widespread response when cells are activated by agonists that bind receptors on the cell surface. A 16-kD cytosolic component can reconstitute guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-mediated activation of phospholipase D in HL60 cells depleted of their cytosol by permeabilization. This factor was purified and identified as two small GTP-binding proteins, ARF1 and ARF3. Recombinant ARF1 substituted for purified ARF proteins in the reconstitution assay. These results indicate that phospholipase D is a downstream effector of ARF1 and ARF3. The well-established role of ARF in vesicular traffic would suggest that alterations in lipid content by PLD are an important determinant in vesicular dynamics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cockcroft, S -- Thomas, G M -- Fensome, A -- Geny, B -- Cunningham, E -- Gout, I -- Hiles, I -- Totty, N F -- Truong, O -- Hsuan, J J -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 28;263(5146):523-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, University College London, United Kingdom.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8290961" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Mechanistic information and structure-based design methods have been used to design a series of nonpeptide cyclic ureas that are potent inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease and HIV replication. A fundamental feature of these inhibitors is the cyclic urea carbonyl oxygen that mimics the hydrogen-bonding features of a key structural water molecule. The success of the design in both displacing and mimicking the structural water molecule was confirmed by x-ray crystallographic studies. Highly selective, preorganized inhibitors with relatively low molecular weight and high oral bioavailability were synthesized.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lam, P Y -- Jadhav, P K -- Eyermann, C J -- Hodge, C N -- Ru, Y -- Bacheler, L T -- Meek, J L -- Otto, M J -- Rayner, M M -- Wong, Y N -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 21;263(5145):380-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Virology Research, DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company, Wilmington, DE 19880.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8278812" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Regulation of MHC class II expression by interferon-gamma mediated by the transactivator gene CIITA (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-01
    Description: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes are expressed constitutively in only a few cell types, but they can be induced in the majority of them, in particular by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). The MHC class II transactivator gene CIITA is defective in a form of primary MHC class II deficiency. Here it is shown that CIITA expression is controlled and induced by IFN-gamma. A functional CIITA gene is necessary for class II induction, and transfection of CIITA is sufficient to activate expression of MHC class II genes in class II-negative cells in the absence of IFN-gamma. CIITA is therefore a general regulator of both inducible and constitutive MHC class II expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Steimle, V -- Siegrist, C A -- Mottet, A -- Lisowska-Grospierre, B -- Mach, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 1;265(5168):106-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics and Microbiology, University of Geneva Medical School, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8016643" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Repeat tracts of guanine bases found in DNA and RNA can form tetraplex structures in the presence of a variety of monovalent cations. Evidence suggests that guanine tetraplexes assume important functions within chromosomal telomeres, immunoglobulin switch regions, and the human immunodeficiency virus genome. The structure of a parallel-stranded tetraplex formed by the hexanucleotide d(TG4T) and stabilized by sodium cations was determined by x-ray crystallography to 1.2 angstroms resolution. Sharply resolved sodium cations were found between and within planes of hydrogen-bonded guanine quartets, and an ordered groove hydration was observed. Distinct intra- and intermolecular stacking arrangements were adopted by the guanine quartets. Thymine bases were exclusively involved in making extensive lattice contacts.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Laughlan, G -- Murchie, A I -- Norman, D G -- Moore, M H -- Moody, P C -- Lilley, D M -- Luisi, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 22;265(5171):520-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Research Council Virology Unit, University of Glasgow, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036494" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structures of active conformations of Gi alpha 1 and the mechanism of GTP hydrolysis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-02
    Description: Mechanisms of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis by members of the G protein alpha subunit-p21ras superfamily of guanosine triphosphatases have been studied extensively but have not been well understood. High-resolution x-ray structures of the GTP gamma S and GDP.AlF4- complexes formed by the G protein Gi alpha 1 demonstrate specific roles in transition-state stabilization for two highly conserved residues. Glutamine204 (Gln61 in p21ras) stabilizes and orients the hydrolytic water in the trigonal-bipyramidal transition state. Arginine 178 stabilizes the negative charge at the equatorial oxygen atoms of the pentacoordinate phosphate intermediate. Conserved only in the G alpha family, this residue may account for the higher hydrolytic rate of G alpha proteins relative to those of the p21ras family members. The fold of Gi alpha 1 differs from that of the homologous Gt alpha subunit in the conformation of a helix-loop sequence located in the alpha-helical domain that is characteristic of these proteins; this site may participate in effector binding. The amino-terminal 33 residues are disordered in GTP gamma S-Gi alpha 1, suggesting a mechanism that may promote release of the beta gamma subunit complex when the alpha subunit is activated by GTP.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Coleman, D E -- Berghuis, A M -- Lee, E -- Linder, M E -- Gilman, A G -- Sprang, S R -- DK 46371/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM34497/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1405-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dallas, TX.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073283" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal and molecular structure of a collagen-like peptide at 1.9 A resolution (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-07
    Description: The structure of a protein triple helix has been determined at 1.9 angstrom resolution by x-ray crystallographic studies of a collagen-like peptide containing a single substitution of the consensus sequence. This peptide adopts a triple-helical structure that confirms the basic features determined from fiber diffraction studies on collagen: supercoiling of polyproline II helices and interchain hydrogen bonding that follows the model II of Rich and Crick. In addition, the structure provides new information concerning the nature of this protein fold. Each triple helix is surrounded by a cylinder of hydration, with an extensive hydrogen bonding network between water molecules and peptide acceptor groups. Hydroxyproline residues have a critical role in this water network. The interaxial spacing of triple helices in the crystal is similar to that in collagen fibrils, and the water networks linking adjacent triple helices in the crystal structure are likely to be present in connective tissues. The breaking of the repeating (X-Y-Gly)n pattern by a Gly--〉Ala substitution results in a subtle alteration of the conformation, with a local untwisting of the triple helix. At the substitution site, direct interchain hydrogen bonds are replaced with interstitial water bridges between the peptide groups. Similar conformational changes may occur in Gly--〉X mutated collagens responsible for the diseases osteogenesis imperfecta, chondrodysplasias, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome IV.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bella, J -- Eaton, M -- Brodsky, B -- Berman, H M -- AR 19626/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 21589/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):75-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08855.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7695699" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structures at 2.5 angstrom resolution of seryl-tRNA synthetase complexed with two analogs of seryl adenylate (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: Crystal structures of seryl-tRNA synthetase from Thermus thermophilus complexed with two different analogs of seryl adenylate have been determined at 2.5 A resolution. The first complex is between the enzyme and seryl-hydroxamate-AMP (adenosine monophosphate), produced enzymatically in the crystal from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and serine hydroxamate, and the second is with a synthetic analog of seryl adenylate (5'-O-[N-(L-seryl)-sulfamoyl]adenosine), which is a strong inhibitor of the enzyme. Both molecules are bound in a similar fashion by a network of hydrogen bond interactions in a deep hydrophilic cleft formed by the antiparallel beta sheet and surrounding loops of the synthetase catalytic domain. Four regions in the primary sequence are involved in the interactions, including the motif 2 and 3 regions of class 2 synthetases. Apart from the specific recognition of the serine side chain, the interactions are likely to be similar in all class 2 synthetases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Belrhali, H -- Yaremchuk, A -- Tukalo, M -- Larsen, K -- Berthet-Colominas, C -- Leberman, R -- Beijer, B -- Sproat, B -- Als-Nielsen, J -- Grubel, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1432-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉EMBL Grenoble Outstation, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128224" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The 2.9 A crystal structure of T. thermophilus seryl-tRNA synthetase complexed with tRNA(Ser) (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: The crystal structure of Thermus thermophilus seryl-transfer RNA synthetase, a class 2 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, complexed with a single tRNA(Ser) molecule was solved at 2.9 A resolution. The structure revealed how insertion of conserved base G20b from the D loop into the core of the tRNA determines the orientation of the long variable arm, which is a characteristic feature of most serine specific tRNAs. On tRNA binding, the antiparallel coiled-coil domain of one subunit of the synthetase makes contacts with the variable arm and T psi C loop of the tRNA and directs the acceptor stem of the tRNA into the active site of the other subunit. Specificity depends principally on recognition of the shape of tRNA(Ser) through backbone contacts and secondarily on sequence specific interactions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Biou, V -- Yaremchuk, A -- Tukalo, M -- Cusack, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1404-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Grenoble Outstation, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128220" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Disruption of PDGF receptor trafficking by mutation of its PI-3 kinase binding sites (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-04
    Description: Human platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) expressed in human Hep G2 cells internalized and concentrated in a juxtanuclear region near the Golgi network within 10 minutes after the cells were treated with PDGF. A PDGFR mutant (F5) that lacks high-affinity binding sites for the Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase), Ras guanosine triphosphatase activating protein, phospholipase C-gamma, and a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (Syp) remained at the cell periphery. Restoration of the PI-3 kinase binding sites on F5 completely restored the ability of the receptor to concentrate intracellularly. A PDGFR mutant lacking only PI-3 kinase binding sites failed to concentrate intracellularly. Thus, PI-3 kinase binding sites appear both necessary and sufficient for the normal endocytic trafficking of the activated PDGFR.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Joly, M -- Kazlauskas, A -- Fay, F S -- Corvera, S -- DK40330/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM48339/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 4;263(5147):684-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Molecular Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester 01605.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303278" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A cell cycle regulator potentially involved in genesis of many tumor types (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: A putative tumor suppressor locus on the short arm of human chromosome 9 has been localized to a region of less than 40 kilobases by means of homozygous deletions in melanoma cell lines. This region contained a gene, Multiple Tumor Suppressor 1 (MTS1), that encodes a previously identified inhibitor (p16) of cyclin-dependent kinase 4. MTS1 was homozygously deleted at high frequency in cell lines derived from tumors of lung, breast, brain, bone, skin, bladder, kidney, ovary, and lymphocyte. Melanoma cell lines that carried at least one copy of MTS1 frequently carried nonsense, missense, or frameshift mutations in the gene. These findings suggest that MTS1 mutations are involved in tumor formation in a wide range of tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kamb, A -- Gruis, N A -- Weaver-Feldhaus, J -- Liu, Q -- Harshman, K -- Tavtigian, S V -- Stockert, E -- Day, R S 3rd -- Johnson, B E -- Skolnick, M H -- CA-48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):436-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Myriad Genetics, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT 84108.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153634" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Reversal of terminal differentiation mediated by p107 in Rb-/- muscle cells (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-03
    Description: The terminal differentiation of mammalian muscle cells requires the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (Rb). Unlike their wild-type counterparts, multinucleated myotubes from mouse cells deficient in Rb (Rb-/-) were induced by serum to re-enter the cell cycle. Development of the myogenic phenotype in Rb-/- cells correlated with increased expression of p107, which interacted with myogenic transcription factors. Serum-induced cell cycle reentry, on the other hand, correlated with decreased p107 expression. Thus, although p107 could substitute for Rb as a cofactor for differentiation, it could not maintain the terminally differentiated state in Rb-/- myotubes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schneider, J W -- Gu, W -- Zhu, L -- Mahdavi, V -- Nadal-Ginard, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1467-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cardiology, Children'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/8197461" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The development of retroviral vectors that target specific cell types could have important implications for the design of gene therapy strategies. A chimeric protein containing the polypeptide hormone erythropoietin and part of the env protein of ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus was engineered into the virus. This murine virus became several times more infectious for murine cells bearing the erythropoietin receptor, and it also became infectious for human cells bearing the erythropoietin receptor. This type of tissue-specific targeting by means of ligand-receptor interactions may have broad applications to a variety of gene delivery systems.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kasahara, N -- Dozy, A M -- Kan, Y W -- AM16666/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- HL 20985/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 25;266(5189):1373-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0724.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973726" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Binding and suppression of the Myc transcriptional activation domain by p107 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-08
    Description: An amino-terminal transactivation domain is required for Myc to function as a transcription factor controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. A complementary DNA expression library was screened with a Myc fusion protein to identify proteins interacting with this domain, and a clone encoding the Rb-related p107 protein was isolated. The p107 protein was shown to associate with Myc in vivo and to suppress the activity of the Myc transactivation domain. However, mutant forms of Myc from Burkitt lymphoma cells, which contain sequence alterations in the transactivation domain, were resistant to p107-mediated suppression. Thus, disruption of a regulatory interaction between Myc and p107 may be important in tumorigenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gu, W -- Bhatia, K -- Magrath, I T -- Dang, C V -- Dalla-Favera, R -- CA 37165/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 51497/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 8;264(5156):251-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8146655" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Estrogen receptor-associated proteins: possible mediators of hormone-induced transcription (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-03
    Description: The estrogen receptor is a transcription factor which, when bound to estradiol, binds DNA and regulates expression of estrogen-responsive genes. A 160-kilodalton estrogen receptor-associated protein, ERAP160, was identified that exhibits estradiol-dependent binding to the receptor. Mutational analysis of the receptor shows that its ability to activate transcription parallels its ability to bind ERAP160. Antiestrogens are unable to promote ERAP160 binding and can block the estrogen-dependent interaction of the receptor and ERAP160 in a dose-dependent manner. This evidence suggests that ERAP160 may mediate estradiol-dependent transcriptional activation by the estrogen receptor. Furthermore, the ability of antiestrogens to block estrogen receptor-ERAP160 complex formation could account for their therapeutic effects in breast cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Halachmi, S -- Marden, E -- Martin, G -- MacKay, H -- Abbondanza, C -- Brown, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1455-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8197458" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Specific association of human telomerase activity with immortal cells and cancer (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-23
    Description: Synthesis of DNA at chromosome ends by telomerase may be necessary for indefinite proliferation of human cells. A highly sensitive assay for measuring telomerase activity was developed. In cultured cells representing 18 different human tissues, 98 of 100 immortal and none of 22 mortal populations were positive for telomerase. Similarly, 90 of 101 biopsies representing 12 human tumor types and none of 50 normal somatic tissues were positive. Normal ovaries and testes were positive, but benign tumors such as fibroids were negative. Thus, telomerase appears to be stringently repressed in normal human somatic tissues but reactivated in cancer, where immortal cells are likely required to maintain tumor growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, N W -- Piatyszek, M A -- Prowse, K R -- Harley, C B -- West, M D -- Ho, P L -- Coviello, G M -- Wright, W E -- Weinrich, S L -- Shay, J W -- AG07992/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- CA50195/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA65178/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 23;266(5193):2011-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Geron Corporation, Menlo Park, CA 94025.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7605428" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-15
    Description: Peptide alpha amidation is required to produce some hormones, such as gastrin, from their glycine-extended precursors. This terminal posttranslational processing reaction is thought to be essential for the biological activation of many peptide hormones; only amidated gastrin exerts a physiological effect that results in gastric acid secretion. However, both amidated gastrin and glycine-extended gastrin stimulate proliferation of exocrine pancreatic cell line AR4-2J through selective receptors for the substrate and the product, respectively, of peptide alpha amidation. Thus, the amidation reaction may function as a determinant of the specific biological actions of products derived from prohormones.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seva, C -- Dickinson, C J -- Yamada, T -- K08-DK-01903/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30-DK-34933/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01-DK-34306/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 15;265(5170):410-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor 48109.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023165" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of the DNA binding domain of the heat shock transcription factor (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-14
    Description: The structure of the DNA binding domain, determined at 1.8 angstrom resolution, contains a three-helix bundle that is capped by a four-stranded antiparallel beta sheet. This structure is a variant of the helix-turn-helix motif, typified by catabolite activator protein. In the heat shock transcription factor, the first helix of the motif (alpha 2) has an alpha-helical bulge and a proline-induced kink. The angle between the two helices of the motif (alpha 2 and alpha 3) is about 20 degrees smaller than the average for canonical helix-turn-helix proteins. Nevertheless, the relative positions of the first and third helices of the bundle (alpha 1 and alpha 3) are conserved. It is proposed here that the first helix of the three-helix bundle be considered a component of the helix-turn-helix motif.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harrison, C J -- Bohm, A A -- Nelson, H C -- GM08295/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM44086/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 14;263(5144):224-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8284672" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
