    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〉

    Description: An activity that severs stable microtubules is thought to be involved in microtubule reorganization during the cell cycle. Here, a 48-kilodalton microtubule-severing protein was purified from Xenopus eggs and identified as translational elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha). Bacterially expressed human EF-1 alpha also displayed microtubule-severing activity in vitro and, when microinjected into fibroblasts, induced rapid and transient fragmentation of cytoplasmic microtubule arrays. Thus, EF-1 alpha, an essential component of the eukaryotic translational apparatus, appears to have a second role as a regulator of cytoskeletal rearrangements.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shiina, N -- Gotoh, Y -- Kubomura, N -- Iwamatsu, A -- Nishida, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 14;266(5183):282-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, Kyoto University, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939665" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The interaction of B7-related molecules on antigen-presenting cells with CD28 or CTLA-4 antigens on T cells provides a second signal for T cell activation. Selection inhibition of the B7-CD28 or B7-CTLA-4 interactions produces antigen-specific T cell unresponsiveness in vitro and suppresses immune function in vivo. To determine whether selective inhibition of the B7-CD28 or B7-CTLA-4 interactions could suppress spontaneous autoimmune disease, a B7-binding protein was generated by genetic fusion of the extracellular domain of murine CTLA-4 to the Fc portion of a mouse immunoglobulin G2a monoclonal antibody (muCTLA4Ig). In lupus-prone NZB/NZW filial generation (F1) mice, treatment with muCTLA4Ig blocked autoantibody production and prolonged life, even when treatment was delayed until the most advanced stage of clinical illness. These findings suggest a possible role for human CTLA4Ig in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Finck, B K -- Linsley, P S -- Wofsy, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 26;265(5176):1225-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7520604" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: The venom of the funnel-web spider Agelenopsis aperta contains several peptides that paralyze prey by blocking voltage-sensitive calcium channels. Two peptides, omega-Aga-IVB (IVB) and omega-Aga-IVC (IVC), have identical amino acid sequences, yet have opposite absolute configurations at serine 46. These toxins had similar selectivities for blocking voltage-sensitive calcium channel subtypes but different potencies for blocking P-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels in rat cerebellar Purkinje cells as well as calcium-45 influx into rat brain synaptosomes. An enzyme purified from venom converts IVC to IVB by isomerizing serine 46, which is present in the carboxyl-terminal tail, from the L to the D configuration. Unlike the carboxyl terminus of IVC, that of IVB was resistant to the major venom protease. These results show enzymatic activities in A. aperta venom being used in an unprecedented strategy for coproduction of necessary neurotoxins that possess enhanced stability and potency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heck, S D -- Siok, C J -- Krapcho, K J -- Kelbaugh, P R -- Thadeio, P F -- Welch, M J -- Williams, R D -- Ganong, A H -- Kelly, M E -- Lanzetti, A J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1065-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉NPS Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973665" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The gamma chain of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor is shared with the functional IL-4 receptor and is causatively related to X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), which is ascribed to a profound T cell defect. Studies with monoclonal antibodies specific for the IL-2 receptor gamma chain showed that the gamma chain participates in the functional high-affinity receptor complexes for IL-7 that are involved in the differentiation of T and B cells. Participation of the gamma subunit in more than one receptor may enable the elucidation of the mechanisms of XSCID development and lymphocyte differentiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kondo, M -- Takeshita, T -- Higuchi, M -- Nakamura, M -- Sudo, T -- Nishikawa, S -- Sugamura, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1453-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128231" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The crystal structure of a ternary protein complex has been determined at 2.4 angstrom resolution. The complex is composed of three electron transfer proteins from Paracoccus denitrificans, the quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase, the blue copper protein amicyanin, and the cytochrome c551i. The central region of the c551i is folded similarly to several small bacterial c-type cytochromes; there is a 45-residue extension at the amino terminus and a 25-residue extension at the carboxyl terminus. The methylamine dehydrogenase-amicyanin interface is largely hydrophobic, whereas the amicyanin-cytochrome interface is more polar, with several charged groups present on each surface. Analysis of the simplest electron transfer pathways between the redox partners points out the importance of other factors such as energetics in determining the electron transfer rates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, L -- Durley, R C -- Mathews, F S -- Davidson, V L -- GM41574/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 1;264(5155):86-90.〈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/8140419" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease that serves as an animal model for multiple sclerosis. Oral administration of myelin basic protein (MBP) suppresses EAE by inducing peripheral tolerance. T cell clones were isolated from the mesenteric lymph nodes of SJL mice that had been orally tolerized to MBP. These clones were CD4+ and were structurally identical to T helper cell type 1 (TH1) encephalitogenic CD4+ clones in T cell receptor usage, major histocompatibility complex restriction, and epitope recognition. However, they produced transforming growth factor-beta with various amounts of interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 and suppressed EAE induced with either MBP or proteolipid protein. Thus, mucosally derived TH2-like clones induced by oral antigen can actively regulate immune responses in vivo and may represent a different subset of T cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Y -- Kuchroo, V K -- Inobe, J -- Hafler, D A -- Weiner, H L -- AR/A143220/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- NS29352/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS30843/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 26;265(5176):1237-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7520605" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: As a step toward developing poliovirus as a vaccine vector, poliovirus recombinants were constructed by fusing exogenous peptides (up to 400 amino acids) and an artificial cleavage site for viral protease 3Cpro to the amino terminus of the viral polyprotein. Viral replication proceeded normally. An extended polyprotein was produced in infected cells and proteolytically processed into the complete array of viral proteins plus the foreign peptide, which was excluded from mature virions. The recombinants retained exogenous sequences through successive rounds of replication in culture and in vivo. Infection of animals with recombinants elicited a humoral immune response to the foreign peptides.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Andino, R -- Silvera, D -- Suggett, S D -- Achacoso, P L -- Miller, C J -- Baltimore, D -- Feinberg, M B -- AI22346/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI35545/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RR00169/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1448-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073288" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Schizophrenia is a complex illness characterized by multiple types of symptoms involving many aspects of cognition and emotion. Most efforts to identify its underlying neural substrates have focused on a strategy that relates a single symptom to a single brain region. An alternative hypothesis, that the variety of symptoms could be explained by a lesion in midline neural circuits mediating attention and information processing, is explored. Magnetic resonance images from patients and controls were transformed with a "bounding box" to produce an "average schizophrenic brain" and an "average normal brain." After image subtraction of the two averages, the areas of difference were displayed as an effect size map. Specific regional abnormalities were observed in the thalamus and adjacent white matter. An abnormality in the thalamus and related circuitry explains the diverse symptoms of schizophrenia parsimoniously because they could all result from a defect in filtering or gating sensory input, which is one of the primary functions of the thalamus in the human brain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Andreasen, N C -- Arndt, S -- Swayze, V 2nd -- Cizadlo, T -- Flaum, M -- O'Leary, D -- Ehrhardt, J C -- Yuh, W T -- MH31593/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH40856/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MHCRC 43271/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 14;266(5183):294-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Mental Health Clinical Research Center, College of Medicine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939669" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In Drosophila and human cells, the TATA binding protein (TBP) of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex is tightly associated with multiple subunits termed TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that are essential for mediating regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription. The Drosophila TAFII150 has now been molecularly cloned and biochemically characterized. The deduced primary amino acid sequence of dTAFII150 reveals a striking similarity to the essential yeast gene, TSM-1. Furthermore, like dTAFII150, the TSM-1 protein is found associated with the TBP in vivo, thus identifying the first yeast homolog of a TAF associated with TFIID. Both the product of TSM-1 and dTAFII150 bind directly to TBP and dTAFII250, demonstrating a functional similarity between human and yeast TAFs. Surprisingly, DNA binding studies indicate that purified recombinant dTAFII150 binds specifically to DNA sequences overlapping the start site of transcription. The data demonstrate that at least one of the TAFs is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein and that dTAFII150 together with TBP are responsible for TFIID interactions with an extended region of the core promoter.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Verrijzer, C P -- Yokomori, K -- Chen, J L -- Tjian, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):933-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, Berkeley 94720-3202.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8178153" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Endogenous DNA adducts may contribute to the etiology of human genetic disease and cancer. One potential source of endogenous DNA adducts is lipid peroxidation, which generates mutagenic carbonyl compounds such as malondialdehyde. A sensitive mass spectrometric method permitted detection and quantitation of the major malondialdehyde-DNA adduct, a pyrimidopurinone derived from deoxyguanosine. DNA from disease-free human liver was found to contain 5400 adducts per cell, a frequency comparable to that of adducts formed by exogenous carcinogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chaudhary, A K -- Nokubo, M -- Reddy, G R -- Yeola, S N -- Morrow, J D -- Blair, I A -- Marnett, L J -- CA47479/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- ES00267/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- GM42056/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 9;265(5178):1580-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉A.

    Description: Representational difference analysis was used to isolate unique sequences present in more than 90 percent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tissues obtained from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). These sequences were not present in tissue DNA from non-AIDS patients, but were present in 15 percent of non-KS tissue DNA samples from AIDS patients. The sequences are homologous to, but distinct from, capsid and tegument protein genes of the Gammaherpesvirinae, herpesvirus saimiri and Epstein-Barr virus. These KS-associated herpesvirus-like (KSHV) sequences appear to define a new human herpesvirus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chang, Y -- Cesarman, E -- Pessin, M S -- Lee, F -- Culpepper, J -- Knowles, D M -- Moore, P S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1865-9.〈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/7997879" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Signals mediated by the T cell receptor (TCR) are required for thymocyte maturation and selection. To examine the role of TCR zeta chain signals in development, TCR expression was restored in zeta-deficient mice with transgenic zeta chains that partially or completely lacked sequences required for signal transduction. The zeta chain played a role in thymic development by promoting TCR surface expression, but zeta-mediated signals were not essential because TCRs that contained signaling-deficient zeta chains promoted T cell maturation and transduced signals associated with thymic selection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shores, E W -- Huang, K -- Tran, T -- Lee, E -- Grinberg, A -- Love, P E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1047-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematologic Products, Food and Drug Administration, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7526464" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Long-tailed manakins mate in leks and cooperate in multiyear male-male partnerships. An alpha male is responsible for virtually all mating, whereas a beta male assists in the courtship displays. Such altruism by the beta male poses a problem for evolutionary theory because most theoretical treatments and empirical examples of cooperative behavior involve kin selection or reciprocity. Here it is shown that alpha and beta partners are not relatives and that reciprocity is not involved. Instead, direct, though long-delayed benefits to beta males are demonstrated, which include rare copulations, ascension to alpha status, and female lek fidelity. These benefits maintain this unusual form of male-male cooperation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McDonald, D B -- Potts, W K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1030-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Archbold Biological Station, Lake Placid, FL 33852-2057.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973654" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The three-dimensional structure of a catalytic antibody (1F7) with chorismate mutase activity has been determined to 3.0 A resolution as a complex with a transition state analog. The structural data suggest that the antibody stabilizes the same conformationally restricted pericyclic transition state as occurs in the uncatalyzed reaction. Overall shape and charge complementarity between the combining site and the transition state analog dictate preferential binding of the correct substrate enantiomer in a conformation appropriate for reaction. Comparison with the structure of a chorismate mutase enzyme indicates an overall similarity between the catalytic mechanism employed by the two proteins. Differences in the number of specific interactions available for restricting the rotational degrees of freedom in the transition state, and the lack of multiple electrostatic interactions that might stabilize charge separation in this highly polarized metastable species, are likely to account for the observed 10(4) times lower activity of the antibody relative to that of the natural enzymes that catalyze this reaction. The structure of the 1F7 Fab'-hapten complex provides confirmation that the properties of an antibody catalyst faithfully reflect the design of the transition state analog.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haynes, M R -- Stura, E A -- Hilvert, D -- Wilson, I A -- AI-23498/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM-38273/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 4;263(5147):646-52.〈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/8303271" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The European wild boar was crossed with the domesticated Large White pig to genetically dissect phenotypic differences between these populations for growth and fat deposition. The most important effects were clustered on chromosome 4, with a single region accounting for a large part of the breed difference in growth rate, fatness, and length of the small intestine. The study is an advance in genome analyses and documents the usefulness of crosses between divergent outbred populations for the detection and characterization of quantitative trait loci. The genetic mapping of a major locus for fat deposition in the pig could have implications for understanding human obesity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Andersson, L -- Haley, C S -- Ellegren, H -- Knott, S A -- Johansson, M -- Andersson, K -- Andersson-Eklund, L -- Edfors-Lilja, I -- Fredholm, M -- Hansson, I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1771-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8134840" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

Hormone responsiveness for the estrogen receptor protein was investigated at different stages of development with the use of gene knockout techniques because no natural genetic mutants have been described. A mutant mouse line without a functional estrogen receptor was created and is being used to assess estrogen responsiveness. Both sexes of these mutant animals are infertile and show a variety of phenotypic changes, some of which are associated with the gonads, mammary glands, reproductive tracts, and skeletal tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Korach, K S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1524-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Receptor Biology Section, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985022" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fas is an apoptosis-signaling receptor molecule on the surface of a number of cell types. Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a human Fas messenger RNA variant capable of encoding a soluble Fas molecule lacking the transmembrane domain because of the deletion of an exon encoding this region. The expression of soluble Fas was confirmed by flow cytometry and immunocytochemical analysis. Supernatants from cells transfected with the variant messenger RNA blocked apoptosis induced by the antibody to Fas. Levels of soluble Fas were elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and mice injected with soluble Fas displayed autoimmune features.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheng, J -- Zhou, T -- Liu, C -- Shapiro, J P -- Brauer, M J -- Kiefer, M C -- Barr, P J -- Mountz, J D -- P01 AR03555/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 AI23694/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P60 AR20614/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1759-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉University of Alabama at Birmingham.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7510905" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In a search for genes that regulate circadian rhythms in mammals, the progeny of mice treated with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) were screened for circadian clock mutations. A semidominant mutation, Clock, that lengthens circadian period and abolishes persistence of rhythmicity was identified. Clock segregated as a single gene that mapped to the midportion of mouse chromosome 5, a region syntenic to human chromosome 4. The power of ENU mutagenesis combined with the ability to clone murine genes by map position provides a generally applicable approach to study complex behavior in mammals.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3839659/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3839659/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vitaterna, M H -- King, D P -- Chang, A M -- Kornhauser, J M -- Lowrey, P L -- McDonald, J D -- Dove, W F -- Pinto, L H -- Turek, F W -- Takahashi, J S -- P30-CA07175/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-DK40493/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32 NS071040/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):719-25.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171325" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Engagement of antigen receptor complexes induces rapid activation of Src-family kinases and association with phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase (PI-3 kinase). Here it was found that the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of Lyn and Fyn bound to a proline-rich region (residues 84 to 99) within the 85-kilodalton subunit (p85) of PI-3 kinase. The binding of SH3 to the purified kinase led to a five- to sevenfold increase in the specific activity of PI-3 kinase. Ligand-induced receptor stimulation activated PI-3 kinase, and this activation was blocked by a peptide containing residues 84 to 99 of p85. These data demonstrate a mechanism for PI-3 kinase activation and show that binding of SH3 domains to proline-rich target sequences can regulate enzymatic activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pleiman, C M -- Hertz, W M -- Cambier, J C -- A120519/PHS HHS/ -- A121768/PHS HHS/ -- A129903/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 18;263(5153):1609-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatrics, National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Denver, CO 80206.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128248" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A predictive rule for protein folding is presented that involves two recurrent glycine-based motifs that cap the carboxyl termini of alpha helices. In proteins, helices that terminated in glycine residues were found predominantly in one of these two motifs. These glycine structures had a characteristic pattern of polar and apolar residues. Visual inspection of known helical sequences was sufficient to distinguish the two motifs from each other and from internal glycines that fail to terminate helices. These glycine motifs--in which the local sequence selects between available structures--represent an example of a stereochemical rule for protein folding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Aurora, R -- Srinivasan, R -- Rose, G D -- GM 29458/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 20;264(5162):1126-30.〈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/8178170" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP86 functions as a receptor in precursor protein translocation into chloroplasts. Sequence analysis suggests that the precursor of OEP86 is directed to the chloroplast outer envelope by a cleavable, negatively charged, and unusually long amino-terminal peptide. This presequence is unlike other potential targeting signals and suggests the existence of another membrane insertion pathway. Insertion of precursor OEP86 required the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate and the existence of surface exposed chloroplast membrane components, and it was not competed by another precursor protein destined for the internal plastid compartments.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hirsch, S -- Muckel, E -- Heemeyer, F -- von Heijne, G -- Soll, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 23;266(5193):1989-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Botanisches Institut, Universitat Kiel, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7801125" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: To facilitate molecular genetic analysis of vertebrate development, haploid genetics was used to construct a recombination map for the zebrafish Danio (Brachydanio) rerio. The map consists of 401 random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) and 13 simple sequence repeats spaced at an average interval of 5.8 centimorgans. Strategies that exploit the advantages of haploid genetics and RAPD markers were developed that quickly mapped lethal and visible mutations and that placed cloned genes on the map. This map is useful for the position-based cloning of mutant genes, the characterization of chromosome rearrangements, and the investigation of evolution in vertebrate genomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Postlethwait, J H -- Johnson, S L -- Midson, C N -- Talbot, W S -- Gates, M -- Ballinger, E W -- Africa, D -- Andrews, R -- Carl, T -- Eisen, J S -- 1RO1AI26734/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HD07470/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS23915/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):699-703.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Neurosciences, University of Oregon, Eugene 97403.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171321" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: The structure of the leech protein decorsin, a potent 39-residue antagonist of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa and inhibitor of platelet aggregation, was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. In contrast to other disintegrins, the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing region of decorsin is well defined. The three-dimensional structure of decorsin is similar to that of hirudin, an anticoagulant leech protein that potently inhibits thrombin. Amino acid sequence comparisons suggest that ornatin, another glycoprotein IIb-IIIa antagonist, and antistasin, a potent Factor Xa inhibitor and anticoagulant found in leeches, share the same structural motif. Although decorsin, hirudin, and antistasin all affect the blood clotting process and appear similar in structure, their mechanisms of action and epitopes important for binding to their respective targets are distinct.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Krezel, A M -- Wagner, G -- Seymour-Ulmer, J -- Lazarus, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1944-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8009227" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In Caenorhabditis, the vulva is formed in the central body region from three of six equivalent cells and is induced by the gonad. In some nematodes, however, the vulva is located in the posterior body region. Vulval development has been analyzed in three such genera. The same precursor cells give rise to the vulva in Caenorhabditis and in the posterior vulva species, but in the latter the cells first migrate posteriorly. In two such species, the vulva is not induced by the gonad, but instead relies on intrinsic properties of precursor cells. Thus, evolution of organ position involves changes in induction and competence.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sommer, R J -- Sternberg, P W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 1;265(5168):114-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8016644" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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.

    Description: To identify proteins that may participate in the activation of the protein kinase Raf, proteins that interact with Raf were selected in a two-hybrid screen. Two members of the 14-3-3 protein family were isolated that interacted with both the amino terminal regulatory regions of Raf and the kinase domain of Raf, but did not compete with the guanine nucleotide-binding protein Ras for binding to Raf. 14-3-3 proteins associated with Raf in mammalian cells and accompanied Raf to the membrane in the presence of activated Ras. In yeast cells expressing Raf and MEK, mammalian 14-3-3 beta or 14-3-3 zeta activated Raf to a similar extent as did expression of Ras. Therefore, 14-3-3 proteins may participate in or be required for the regulation of Raf function. These findings suggest a role for 14-3-3 proteins in Raf-mediated signal transduction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Freed, E -- Symons, M -- Macdonald, S G -- McCormick, F -- Ruggieri, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 16;265(5179):1713-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Richmond, CA 94806-5206.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8085158" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A gene, reaper (rpr), that appears to play a central control function for the initiation of programmed cell death (apoptosis) in Drosophila was identified. Virtually all programmed cell death that normally occurs during Drosophila embryogenesis was blocked in embryos homozygous for a small deletion that includes the reaper gene. Mutant embryos contained many extra cells and failed to hatch, but many other aspects of development appeared quite normal. Deletions that include reaper also protected embryos from apoptosis caused by x-irradiation and developmental defects. However, high doses of x-rays induced some apoptosis in mutant embryos, and the resulting corpses were phagocytosed by macrophages. These data suggest that the basic cell death program is intact although it was not activated in mutant embryos. The DNA encompassed by the deletion was cloned and the reaper gene was identified on the basis of the ability of cloned DNA to restore apoptosis to cell death defective embryos in germ line transformation experiments. The reaper gene appears to encode a small peptide that shows no homology to known proteins, and reaper messenger RNA is expressed in cells destined to undergo apoptosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉White, K -- Grether, M E -- Abrams, J M -- Young, L -- Farrell, K -- Steller, H -- 5 F32 NS08536/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):677-83.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Cambridge, MA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171319" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: The proposal that nitric oxide (NO) or its reactant products mediate toxicity in brain remains controversial in part because of the use of nonselective agents that block NO formation in neuronal, glial, and vascular compartments. In mutant mice deficient in neuronal NO synthase (NOS) activity, infarct volumes decreased significantly 24 and 72 hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion, and the neurological deficits were less than those in normal mice. This result could not be accounted for by differences in blood flow or vascular anatomy. However, infarct size in the mutant became larger after endothelial NOS inhibition by nitro-L-arginine administration. Hence, neuronal NO production appears to exacerbate acute ischemic injury, whereas vascular NO protects after middle cerebral artery occlusion. The data emphasize the importance of developing selective inhibitors of the neuronal isoform.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Z -- Huang, P L -- Panahian, N -- Dalkara, T -- Fishman, M C -- Moskowitz, M A -- NS10828/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS2636/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 23;265(5180):1883-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Stroke Research Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown 02129.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7522345" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Many recent studies have implicated dietary factors in the cause and prevention of important diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, birth defects, and cataracts. There is strong evidence that vegetables and fruits protect against these diseases; however, the active constituents are incompletely identified. Whether fat per se is a major cause of disease is a question still under debate, although saturated and partially hydrogenated fats probably increase the risk of coronary heart disease. One clear conclusion from existing epidemiologic evidence is that many individuals in the United States have suboptimal diets and that the potential for disease prevention by improved nutrition is substantial.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Willett, W C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 22;264(5158):532-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8160011" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Loss of heterozygosity data from familial tumors suggest that BRCA1, a gene that confers susceptibility to ovarian and early-onset breast cancer, encodes a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 region is also subject to allelic loss in sporadic breast and ovarian cancers, an indication that BRCA1 mutations may occur somatically in these tumors. The BRCA1 coding region was examined for mutations in primary breast and ovarian tumors that show allele loss at the BRCA1 locus. Mutations were detected in 3 of 32 breast and 1 of 12 ovarian carcinomas; all four mutations were germline alterations and occurred in early-onset cancers. These results suggest that mutation of BRCA1 may not be critical in the development of the majority of breast and ovarian cancers that arise in the absence of a mutant germline allele.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Futreal, P A -- Liu, Q -- Shattuck-Eidens, D -- Cochran, C -- Harshman, K -- Tavtigian, S -- Bennett, L M -- Haugen-Strano, A -- Swensen, J -- Miki, Y -- CA48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA55914/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA56749/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):120-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Carcinogenesis, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins (G proteins) may participate in membrane traffic events. A complementary DNA (cDNA) was isolated from a mouse pituitary cDNA library that corresponded to an alternatively spliced form of the gene encoding the G protein alpha subunit G alpha i2. The cDNA was identical to that encoding G alpha i2 except that the region encoding for the carboxyl-terminal 24 amino acids was replaced by a longer region encoding 35 amino acids that have no sequence similarity with G alpha i2 or other members of the G protein family. This alternative spliced product and the corresponding protein (sGi2) were present in several tissues. Specific antibodies revealed that sGi2 was localized in the Golgi apparatus, suggesting a role in membrane transport. Thus, alternative splicing may generate from a single gene two G protein alpha subunits with differential cellular localization and function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Montmayeur, J P -- Borrelli, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 7;263(5143):95-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de Genetique Moleculaire des Eucaryotes, CNRS, INSERM U184, Faculte de Medecine, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8272874" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Comparative studies suggest that sex chromosomes begin as ordinary autosomes that happen to carry a major sex determining locus. Over evolutionary time the Y chromosome is selected to stop recombining with the X chromosome, perhaps in response to accumulation of alleles beneficial to the heterogametic but harmful to the homogametic sex. Population genetic theory predicts that a nonrecombining Y chromosome should degenerate. Here this prediction is tested by application of specific selection pressures to Drosophila melanogaster populations. Results demonstrate the decay of a nonrecombining, nascent Y chromosome and the capacity for recombination to ameliorate such decay.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rice, W R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 14;263(5144):230-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz 95064.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8284674" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A small proportion of breast cancer, in particular those cases arising at a young age, is due to the inheritance of dominant susceptibility genes conferring a high risk of the disease. A genomic linkage search was performed with 15 high-risk breast cancer families that were unlinked to the BRCA1 locus on chromosome 17q21. This analysis localized a second breast cancer susceptibility locus, BRCA2, to a 6-centimorgan interval on chromosome 13q12-13. Preliminary evidence suggests that BRCA2 confers a high risk of breast cancer but, unlike BRCA1, does not confer a substantially elevated risk of ovarian cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wooster, R -- Neuhausen, S L -- Mangion, J -- Quirk, Y -- Ford, D -- Collins, N -- Nguyen, K -- Seal, S -- Tran, T -- Averill, D -- CA-48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CN-05222/CN/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HG-00571/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 30;265(5181):2088-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Molecular Carcinogenesis, Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, Surrey, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8091231" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Organismal morphogenesis is driven by a complex series of developmentally coordinated changes in cell shape, size, and number. These changes in cell morphology are in turn dependent on alterations in basic cytoarchitecture. Elucidating the mechanisms of development thus requires an understanding of the cytoskeletal elements that organize the cytoplasm of differentiating cells. Drosophila oogenesis has emerged as a versatile system for the study of cytoskeletal function during development. A series of highly coordinated changes in cytoskeletal organization are required to produce a mature Drosophila oocyte, and these cytoskeletal transformations are amenable to a variety of experimental approaches. Genetic, molecular, and cytological studies have shed light on the specific functions of the cytoskeleton during oogenesis. The results of these studies are reviewed here, and their mechanistic implications are considered.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cooley, L -- Theurkauf, W E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 28;266(5185):590-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939713" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Drosophila decapentaplegic (dpp) gene encodes a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-like protein that plays a key role in several aspects of development. Transduction of the DPP signal was investigated by cloning of serine-threonine kinase transmembrane receptors from Drosophila because this type of receptor is specific for the TGF-beta-like ligands. Here evidence is provided demonstrating that the Drosophila saxophone (sax) gene, a previously identified female sterile locus, encodes a TGF-beta-like type I receptor. Embryos from sax mothers and dpp embryos exhibit similar mutant phenotypes during early gastrulation, and these two loci exhibit genetic interactions, which suggest that they are utilized in the same pathway. These data suggest that sax encodes a receptor for dpp.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xie, T -- Finelli, A L -- Padgett, R W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1756-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Waksman Institute, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08855-0759.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8134837" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Arabidopsis ABI1 locus is essential for a wide spectrum of abscisic acid (ABA) responses throughout plant development. Here, ABI1 was shown to regulate stomatal aperture in leaves and mitotic activity in root meristems. The ABI1 gene was cloned and predicted to encode a signaling protein. Although its carboxyl-terminal domain is related to serine-threonine phosphatase 2C, the ABI1 protein has a unique amino-terminal extension containing an EF hand calcium-binding site. These results suggest that the ABI1 protein is a Ca(2+)-modulated phosphatase and functions to integrate ABA and Ca2+ signals with phosphorylation-dependent response pathways.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Leung, J -- Bouvier-Durand, M -- Morris, P C -- Guerrier, D -- Chefdor, F -- Giraudat, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1448-52.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut des Sciences Vegetales, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique UPR 40, Gif-sur-Yvette, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7910981" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In many mammalian species, the placenta is the site of synthesis of proteins in the prolactin and growth hormone family. Analysis of two such proteins, proliferin (PLF) and proliferin-related protein (PRP), revealed that they are potent regulators of angiogenesis; PLF stimulated and PRP inhibited endothelial cell migration in cell culture and neovascularization in vivo. The mouse placenta secretes an angiogenic activity during the middle of pregnancy that corresponds primarily to PLF, but later in gestation releases a factor that inhibits angiogenesis, which was identified as PRP. Incubation of placental tissue with PLF led to the specific binding of this hormone to capillary endothelial cells. Thus PLF and PRP may regulate the initiation and then the cessation of placental neovascularization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jackson, D -- Volpert, O V -- Bouck, N -- Linzer, D I -- CA52750/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD24518/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD29962/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1581-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7527157" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Assembled class I histocompatibility molecules, consisting of heavy chain, beta 2-microglobulin, and peptide ligand, are transported rapidly to the cell surface. In contrast, the intracellular transport of free heavy chains or peptide-deficient heavy chain-beta 2-microglobulin heterodimers is impaired. A 90-kilodalton membrane-bound chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), termed calnexin, associates quantitatively with newly synthesized class I heavy chains, but the functions of calnexin in this interaction are unknown. Class I subunits were expressed alone or in combination with calnexin in Drosophila melanogaster cells. Calnexin retarded the intracellular transport of both peptide-deficient heavy chain-beta 2-microglobulin heterodimers and free heavy chains. Calnexin also impeded the rapid intracellular degradation of free heavy chains. The ability of calnexin to protect and retain class I assembly intermediates is likely to contribute to the efficient intracellular formation of class I-peptide complexes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jackson, M R -- Cohen-Doyle, M F -- Peterson, P A -- Williams, D B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 21;263(5145):384-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8278813" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: Although sexual isolation is one of the most important causes of speciation, its genetic basis is largely unknown. Here evidence is presented that suggests that sexual isolation between two closely related species of Drosophila is largely caused by differences in female cuticular hydrocarbons. This difference maps to only one of the three major chromosomes, implying that reproductive isolation might have a fairly simple genetic basis. The effect of the hydrocarbons on courtship may help explain the ubiquitous asymmetry of sexual isolation between many pairs of Drosophila species.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Coyne, J A -- Crittenden, A P -- Mah, K -- GM 38462/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 50355/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1461-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, IL 60637.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073292" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An engineered variant of subtilisin BPN', termed subtiligase, which efficiently ligates esterified peptides in aqueous solution, was used for the complete synthesis of ribonuclease (RNase) A that contains unnatural catalytic residues. Fully active RNase A (124 residues long) was produced in milligram quantities by stepwise ligation of six esterified peptide fragments (each 12 to 30 residues long) at yields averaging 70 percent per ligation. Variants of RNase A were produced in which the catalytic histidines at positions 12 and 119 were substituted with the unnatural amino acid 4-fluorohistidine, which has a pKa of 3.5 compared to 6.8 for histidine. Large changes in the profile of the pH as it affects rate occurred for the single and double mutants with surprisingly little change in the kcat for either the RNA cleavage or hydrolysis steps. The data indicate that these imidazoles function as general acids and bases, but that the proton transfer steps are not rate-limiting when the imidazoles are present in their correct protonation states. These studies indicate the potential of subtiligase for the blockwise synthesis of large proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jackson, D Y -- Burnier, J -- Quan, C -- Stanley, M -- Tom, J -- Wells, J A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 14;266(5183):243-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Protein Engineering, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA 94080.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939659" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Rasmussen's encephalitis is a progressive childhood disease of unknown cause characterized by severe epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, and inflammation of the brain. During efforts to raise antibodies to recombinant glutamate receptors (GluRs), behaviors typical of seizures and histopathologic features mimicking Rasmussen's encephalitis were found in two rabbits immunized with GluR3 protein. A correlation was found between the presence of Rasmussen's encephalitis and serum antibodies to GluR3 detected by protein immunoblot analysis and by immunoreactivity to transfected cells expressing GluR3. Repeated plasma exchanges in one seriously ill child transiently reduced serum titers of GluR3 antibodies, decreased seizure frequency, and improved neurologic function. Thus, GluR3 is an autoantigen in Rasmussen's encephalitis, and an autoimmune process may underlie this disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rogers, S W -- Andrews, P I -- Gahring, L C -- Whisenand, T -- Cauley, K -- Crain, B -- Hughes, T E -- Heinemann, S F -- McNamara, J O -- NS17771/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS28709/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS30990R29/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 29;265(5172):648-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Salt Lake City Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, UT.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036512" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: Many transcription factors contain proline- or glutamine-rich activation domains. Here it is shown that simple homopolymeric stretches of these amino acids can activate transcription when fused to the DNA binding domain of GAL4 factor. In vitro, activity increased with polymer length, whereas in cell transfection assays maximal activity was achieved by 10 to 30 glutamines or about 10 prolines. Similar results were obtained when glutamine stretches were placed within a [GAL4]-VP16 chimeric protein. Because these stretches are encoded by rapidly evolving triplet repeats (microsatellites), they may be the main cause for modulation of transcription factor activity and thus result in subtle or overt genomic effects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gerber, H P -- Seipel, K -- Georgiev, O -- Hofferer, M -- Hug, M -- Rusconi, S -- Schaffner, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 11;263(5148):808-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Molekularbiologie II der Universitat Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303297" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The trimeric protein hemagglutinin (HA) of the influenza viral envelope is essential for cell entry. To investigate the interaction of HA with membranes, two 40-residue, cysteine-substituted peptides comprising the loop region and the first part of the coiled-coil stem were synthesized and modified with a nitroxide spin label. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis revealed that the peptide inserts reversibly into phospholipid vesicles under endosomal pH conditions. This result suggests that some or all of the long coiled-coil trimer of HA may insert into membranes, which could bring the viral and cell membranes closer together and facilitate fusion.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Y G -- King, D S -- Shin, Y K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 14;266(5183):274-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939662" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In Thunberg's thermal grill illusion, first demonstrated in 1896, a sensation of strong, often painful heat is elicited by touching interlaced warm and cool bars to the skin. Neurophysiological recordings from two classes of ascending spinothalamic tract neurons that are sensitive to innocuous or noxious cold showed differential responses to the grill. On the basis of these results, a simple model of central disinhibition, or unmasking, predicted a quantitative correspondence between grill-evoked pain and cold-evoked pain, which was verified psychophysically. This integration of pain and temperature can explain the thermal grill illusion and the burning sensation of cold pain and may also provide a basis for the cold-evoked, burning pain of the classic thalamic pain syndrome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Craig, A D -- Bushnell, M C -- DA07402/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- NS25616/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 8;265(5169):252-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neurobiology, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, AZ 85013.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023144" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The biologically relevant interactions of a transcription factor are those that are important for function in the organism. Here, a transgenic rescue assay was used to determine which molecular functions of Drosophila CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), a basic region-leucine zipper transcription factor, are required for it to fulfill its essential role during development. Chimeric proteins that contain the Drosophila C/EBP (DmC/EBP) basic region, a heterologous zipper, and a heterologous activation domain could functionally substitute for DmC/EBP. Mammalian C/EBPs were also functional in Drosophila. In contrast, 9 of 25 single amino acid substitutions in the basic region disrupted biological function. Thus, the conserved basic region specifies DmC/EBP activity in the organism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rorth, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1878-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore, MD 21210.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7997882" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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 functional consequences of single proton transfers occurring in the pore of a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel were observed with patch recording techniques. These results led to three conclusions about the chemical nature of ion binding sites in the conduction pathway: The channel contains two identical titratable sites, even though there are more than two (probably four) identical subunits; the sites are formed by glutamate residues that have a pKa (where K(a) is the acid constant) of 7.6; and protonation of one site does not perturb the pKa of the other. These properties point to an unusual arrangement of carboxyl side-chain residues in the pore of a cation channel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Root, M J -- MacKinnon, R -- 5 T32 GM083113/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM47400/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 23;265(5180):1852-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7522344" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mammalian embryo cannot develop without the placenta. Its specialized cells (trophoblast, endoderm, and extraembryonic mesoderm) form early in development. They attach the embryo to the uterus (implantation) and form vascular connections necessary for nutrient transport. In addition, the placenta redirects maternal endocrine, immune, and metabolic functions to the embryo's advantage. These complex activities are sensitive to disruption, as shown by the high incidence of early embryonic mortality and pregnancy diseases in humans, as well as the numerous peri-implantation lethal mutations in mice. Integration of molecular and developmental approaches has recently produced insights into the molecules that control these processes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cross, J C -- Werb, Z -- Fisher, S J -- HD 22210/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD 26732/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD 30367/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1508-18.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985020" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha) are members of a family of secreted and cell surface cytokines that participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. The cell surface form of LT-alpha is assembled during biosynthesis as a heteromeric complex with lymphotoxin-beta (LT-beta), a type II transmembrane protein that is another member of the TNF ligand family. Secreted LT-alpha is a homotrimer that binds to distinct TNF receptors of 60 and 80 kilodaltons; however, these receptors do not recognize the major cell surface LT-alpha-LT-beta complex. A receptor specific for human LT-beta was identified, which suggests that cell surface LT may have functions that are distinct from those of secreted LT-alpha.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Crowe, P D -- VanArsdale, T L -- Walter, B N -- Ware, C F -- Hession, C -- Ehrenfels, B -- Browning, J L -- Din, W S -- Goodwin, R G -- Smith, C A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):707-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biomedical Sciences, University of California, Riverside 92521.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171323" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The predicted yeast protein has a typical mitochondrial matrix-targeting sequence at its amino terminus. Yeast cells lacking a functional LON gene contained a nonfunctional mitochondrial genome, were respiratory-deficient, and lacked an ATP-dependent proteolytic activity present in the mitochondria of Lon+ cells. Lon- cells were also impaired in their ability to catalyze the energy-dependent degradation of several mitochondrial matrix proteins and they accumulated electron-dense inclusions in their mitochondrial matrix.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Suzuki, C K -- Suda, K -- Wang, N -- Schatz, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 8;264(5156):273-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biozentrum der Universitat Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8146662" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fragile sites are chemically induced nonstaining gaps in chromosomes. Different fragile sites vary in frequency in the population and in the chemistry of their induction. DNA sequences encompassing and including the rare, autosomal, folate-sensitive fragile site, FRA16A, were isolated by positional cloning. The molecular basis of FRA16A was found to be expansion of a normally polymorphic p(CCG)n repeat. This repeat was adjacent to a CpG island that was methylated in fragile site-expressing individuals. The FRA16A locus in individuals who do not express the fragile site is not a site of DNA methylation (imprinting), which suggests that the methylation associated with fragile sites may be a consequence and not a cause of their genesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nancarrow, J K -- Kremer, E -- Holman, K -- Eyre, H -- Doggett, N A -- Le Paslier, D -- Callen, D F -- Sutherland, G R -- Richards, R I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1938-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics, Women's and Children's Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8009225" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptor channels mediate the fast component of excitatory postsynaptic currents in the central nervous system. Site-selective nuclear RNA editing controls the calcium permeability of these channels, and RNA editing at a second site is shown here to affect the kinetic aspects of these channels in rat brain. In three of the four AMPA receptor subunits (GluR-B, -C, and -D), intronic elements determine a codon switch (AGA, arginine, to GGA, glycine) in the primary transcripts in a position termed the R/G site, which immediately precedes the alternatively spliced modules "flip" and "flop." The extent of editing at this site progresses with brain development in a manner specific for subunit and splice form, and edited channels possess faster recovery rates from desensitization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lomeli, H -- Mosbacher, J -- Melcher, T -- Hoger, T -- Geiger, J R -- Kuner, T -- Monyer, H -- Higuchi, M -- Bach, A -- Seeburg, P H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 9;266(5191):1709-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Neuroendocrinology, University of Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7992055" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The Cf-9 gene was isolated by transposon tagging with the maize transposable element Dissociation. The DNA sequence of Cf-9 encodes a putative membrane-anchored extracytoplasmic glycoprotein. The predicted protein shows homology to the receptor domain of several receptor-like protein kinases in Arabidopsis, to antifungal polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins in plants, and to other members of the leucine-rich repeat family of proteins. This structure is consistent with that of a receptor that could bind Avr9 peptide and activate plant defense.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jones, D A -- Thomas, C M -- Hammond-Kosack, K E -- Balint-Kurti, P J -- Jones, J D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):789-93.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Cellular and Developmental Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973631" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: Modern molecular genetic and genomic approaches are revolutionizing the study of behavior in the mouse. "Reverse genetics" (from gene to phenotype) with targeted gene transfer provides a powerful tool to dissect behavior and has been used successfully to study the effects of null mutations in genes implicated in the regulation of long-term potentiation and spatial learning in mice. In addition, "forward genetics" (from phenotype to gene) with high-efficiency mutagenesis in the mouse can uncover unknown genes and has been used to isolate a behavioral mutant of the circadian system. With the recent availability of high-density genetic maps and physical mapping resources, positional cloning of virtually any mutation is now feasible in the mouse. Together, these approaches permit a molecular analysis of both known and previously unknown genes regulating behavior.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830945/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830945/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Takahashi, J S -- Pinto, L H -- Vitaterna, M H -- EY08467/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- MH39592/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH49241/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 17;264(5166):1724-33.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8209253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: The neuromodulator serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been associated with mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and impulsive violence. To define the contribution of 5-HT receptor subtypes to behavior, mutant mice lacking the 5-HT1B receptor were generated by homologous recombination. These mice did not exhibit any obvious developmental or behavioral defects. However, the hyperlocomotor effect of the 5-HT1A/1B agonist RU24969 was absent in mutant mice, indicating that this effect is mediated by 5-HT1B receptors. Moreover, when confronted with an intruder, mutant mice attacked the intruder faster and more intensely than did wild-type mice, suggesting the participation of 5-HT1B receptors in aggressive behavior.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Saudou, F -- Amara, D A -- Dierich, A -- LeMeur, M -- Ramboz, S -- Segu, L -- Buhot, M C -- Hen, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 23;265(5180):1875-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de Genetique Moleculaire des Eucaryotes du CNRS, U184 de l'INSERM, Faculte de Medecine, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8091214" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The invariant chain (Ii) binds nascent major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, blocking peptide binding until the complex dissociates in the endosomes. This may serve to differentiate the MHC class I and II antigen presentation pathways and enable class II molecules to efficiently bind peptides in the endosomes. This hypothesis was addressed by probing spleen cells from a combination of knock-out and transgenic mice with a large panel of T cell hybridomas. The Ii molecule blocked the presentation of a range of endogenously synthesized epitopes, but some epitopes actually required Ii. Thus, the influence of Ii on presentation does not follow simple rules. In addition, mice expressing Ii were not tolerant to epitopes unmasked in its absence, a finding with possible implications for autoimmunity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bodmer, H -- Viville, S -- Benoist, C -- Mathis, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 4;263(5151):1284-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de Genetique Moleculaire des Eucaryotes du CNRS, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7510069" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    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〉

    Description: Through the study of transcriptional activation in response to interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), a previously unrecognized direct signal transduction pathway to the nucleus has been uncovered: IFN-receptor interaction at the cell surface leads to the activation of kinases of the Jak family that then phosphorylate substrate proteins called STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription). The phosphorylated STAT proteins move to the nucleus, bind specific DNA elements, and direct transcription. Recognition of the molecules involved in the IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma pathway has led to discoveries that a number of STAT family members exist and that other polypeptide ligands also use the Jak-STAT molecules in signal transduction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Darnell, J E Jr -- Kerr, I M -- Stark, G R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1415-21.〈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/8197455" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Past efforts to curb this growth have almost exclusively focused on the implementation of family planning programs to provide contraceptive information, services, and supplies. These programs have been partially successful in reducing birth rates. Further investments in them will have an additional but limited impact on population growth; therefore, other policy options, in particular measures to reduce high demand for births and limit population momentum, are needed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bongaarts, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 11;263(5148):771-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Division, Population Council, New York, NY 10017.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303293" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Nucleotide sequence information derived from DNA segments of the human and other genomes is accumulating rapidly. However, it frequently proves difficult to use such short DNA segments to identify clones in genomic libraries or fragments in blots of the whole genome or for in situ analysis of chromosomes. Oligonucleotide probes, consisting of two target-complementary segments, connected by a linker sequence, were designed. Upon recognition of the specific nucleic acid molecule the ends of the probes were joined through the action of a ligase, creating circular DNA molecules catenated to the target sequence. These probes thus provide highly specific detection with minimal background.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nilsson, M -- Malmgren, H -- Samiotaki, M -- Kwiatkowski, M -- Chowdhary, B P -- Landegren, U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 30;265(5181):2085-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Beijer Laboratory, Department of Medical Genetics, Biomedical Center, Uppsala, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7522346" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The pink-eyed unstable (p(un)) mutation in the mouse is caused by a gene duplication and reverts to wild type by deletion of one copy. Reversion events in the mouse embryo were detected as black spots on the fur of the animals or microscopically as partially black hair in a background of colorless hair. The frequency of partially black hair was increased by x-rays at very low doses. A linear dose-response relation was found between 1 and 100 centigray.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schiestl, R H -- Khogali, F -- Carls, N -- ES06593/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1573-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Toxicology, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985029" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In spite of recent advances in identifying genes causing monogenic human disease, very little is known about the genes involved in polygenic disease. Three families were identified with mutations in the unlinked photoreceptor-specific genes ROM1 and peripherin/RDS, in which only double heterozygotes develop retinitis pigmentosa (RP). These findings indicate that the allelic and nonallelic heterogeneity known to be a feature of monogenic RP is complicated further by interactions between unlinked mutations causing digenic RP. Recognition of the inheritance pattern exemplified by these three families might facilitate the identification of other examples of digenic inheritance in human disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kajiwara, K -- Berson, E L -- Dryja, T P -- EY00169/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EY08683/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 10;264(5165):1604-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston 02114.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8202715" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Molecular chaperones of the Hsp70 type transiently sequester unfolded segments of proteins and promote their correct folding. Target peptides were labeled with an environmentally sensitive fluorophore so that their binding to the molecular chaperone DnaK of Escherichia coli could be followed in real time. The two-step process was characterized by relaxation times of 27 seconds and 200 seconds with 2 microM DnaK and 0.1 microM ligand at 25 degrees C. In the presence of adenosine triphosphate, the formation of the complex was greatly accelerated and appeared to be a single-exponential process with a relaxation time of 0.4 second. The binding-release cycle of DnaK thus occurs in the time range of polypeptide chain elongation and folding and is too fast to be stoichiometrically coupled to the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the chaperone (turnover number, 0.13 per minute at 30 degrees C).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schmid, D -- Baici, A -- Gehring, H -- Christen, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 18;263(5149):971-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biochemisches Institut, Universitat Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8310296" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A gene encoding a 35-kilodalton guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein, Gem, was cloned from mitogen-induced human peripheral blood T cells. Gem and Rad, the product of a gene overexpressed in skeletal muscle in individuals with Type II diabetes, constitute a new family of Ras-related GTP-binding proteins. The distinct structural features of this family include the G3 GTP-binding motif, extensive amino- and carboxyl-terminal extensions beyond the Ras-related domain, and a motif that determines membrane association. Gem was transiently expressed in human peripheral blood T cells in response to mitogenic stimulation; the protein was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues and localized to the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Deregulated Gem expression prevented proliferation of normal and transformed 3T3 cells. These results suggest that Gem is a regulatory protein, possibly participating in receptor-mediated signal transduction at the plasma membrane.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maguire, J -- Santoro, T -- Jensen, P -- Siebenlist, U -- Yewdell, J -- Kelly, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 8;265(5169):241-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Pathology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7912851" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Concentration of urine in mammals is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. Binding of vasopressin to its V2 receptor leads to the insertion of water channels in apical membranes of principal cells in collecting ducts. In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), the kidney fails to concentrate urine in response to vasopressin. A male patient with an autosomal recessive form of NDI was found to be a compound heterozygote for two mutations in the gene encoding aquaporin-2, a water channel. Functional expression studies in Xenopus oocytes revealed that each mutation resulted in nonfunctional water channel proteins. Thus, aquaporin-2 is essential for vasopressin-dependent concentration of urine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Deen, P M -- Verdijk, M A -- Knoers, N V -- Wieringa, B -- Monnens, L A -- van Os, C H -- van Oost, B A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 1;264(5155):92-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Physiology, University of Nijmegen, Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8140421" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) have a distinct compartment in which class II molecules are proposed to acquire antigenic peptides. Genetic evidence suggests that human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DM, an unusual class II molecule, participates in this process. Peptide acquisition was reconstituted in nonprofessional APCs by transfection of class II, invariant chain (li), and H-2M, the murine equivalent of DM. The H-2M heterodimer appeared in an endosomal compartment, not at the cell surface, and the localization was independent of li. The data presented show that H-2M, class II, and li are the minimally required components for efficient formation of stable class II-peptide complexes, and thus for a functional class II compartment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karlsson, L -- Peleraux, A -- Lindstedt, R -- Liljedahl, M -- Peterson, P A -- AI-26610/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1569-73.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉R.

    Description: Septic shock results from excessive stimulation of the host immune system, especially macrophages, by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or endotoxin, which resides on the outer membrane of bacteria. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors of the tyrphostin AG 126 family protect mice against LPS-induced lethal toxicity. The protection correlates with the ability of these agents to block LPS-induced production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and nitric oxide in macrophages as well as LPS-induced production of TNF-alpha in vivo. Furthermore, this inhibitory effect correlated with the potency of AG 126 to block LPS-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of a p42MAPK protein substrate in the murine macrophage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Novogrodsky, A -- Vanichkin, A -- Patya, M -- Gazit, A -- Osherov, N -- Levitzki, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1319-22.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Felsenstein Medical Research Center, Petach Tikva, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191285" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A cytokine was identified that stimulated the proliferation of T lymphocytes, and a complementary DNA clone encoding this new T cell growth factor was isolated. The cytokine, designated interleukin-15 (IL-15), is produced by a wide variety of cells and tissues and shares many biological properties with IL-2. Monoclonal antibodies to the beta chain of the IL-2 receptor inhibited the biological activity of IL-15, and IL-15 competed for binding with IL-2, indicating that IL-15 uses components of the IL-2 receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grabstein, K H -- Eisenman, J -- Shanebeck, K -- Rauch, C -- Srinivasan, S -- Fung, V -- Beers, C -- Richardson, J -- Schoenborn, M A -- Ahdieh, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):965-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Immunex Research and Development Corporation, Seattle, WA 98101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8178155" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Physical inclusion of small molecules in larger structural lattices is well known in the crystalline state and is a common feature of the chemistry of zeolites. In the liquid state, a variety of synthetic macrocyclic molecules are available to complex and contain smaller guest species. An alternative strategy for binding is explored: assembly of cavity-forming structures from small subunits. Encapsulation of small guest molecules such as methane can be achieved with a synthetic structure that assembles reversibly through hydrogen bonding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Branda, N -- Wyler, R -- Rebek, J Jr -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 4;263(5151):1267-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8122107" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
