    Description: The active-site cysteine of peroxiredoxins is selectively oxidized to cysteine sulfinic acid during catalysis, which leads to inactivation of peroxidase activity. This oxidation was thought to be irreversible. However, by metabolic labeling of mammalian cells with 35S, we show that the sulfinic form of peroxiredoxin I, produced during the exposure of cells to H2O2, is rapidly reduced to the catalytically active thiol form. The mammalian cells' ability to reduce protein sulfinic acid might serve as a mechanism to repair oxidatively damaged proteins or represent a new type of cyclic modification by which the function of various proteins is regulated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Woo, Hyun Ae -- Chae, Ho Zoon -- Hwang, Sung Chul -- Yang, Kap-Seok -- Kang, Sang Won -- Kim, Kanghwa -- Rhee, Sue Goo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 25;300(5619):653-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Cell Signaling Research and Division of Molecular Life Sciences, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 120-750, Korea.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12714748" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In eukaryotes, the combinatorial association of sequence-specific DNA binding proteins is essential for transcription. We have used protein arrays to test 492 pairings of a nearly complete set of coiled-coil strands from human basic-region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors. We find considerable partnering selectivity despite the bZIPs' homologous sequences. The interaction data are of high quality, as assessed by their reproducibility, reciprocity, and agreement with previous observations. Biophysical studies in solution support the relative binding strengths observed with the arrays. New associations provide insights into the circadian clock and the unfolded protein response.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Newman, John R S -- Keating, Amy E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 27;300(5628):2097-101.

    Description: Plants attacked by pathogens rapidly deposit callose, a beta-1,3-glucan, at wound sites. Traditionally, this deposition is thought to reinforce the cell wall and is regarded as a defense response. Surprisingly, here we found that powdery mildew resistant 4 (pmr4), a mutant lacking pathogen-induced callose, became resistant to pathogens, rather than more susceptible. This resistance was due to mutation of a callose synthase, resulting in a loss of the induced callose response. Double-mutant analysis indicated that blocking the salicylic acid (SA) defense signaling pathway was sufficient to restore susceptibility to pmr4 mutants. Thus, callose or callose synthase negatively regulates the SA pathway.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nishimura, Marc T -- Stein, Monica -- Hou, Bi-Huei -- Vogel, John P -- Edwards, Herb -- Somerville, Shauna C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 15;301(5635):969-72.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution, Stanford, CA 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920300" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Raf kinases have been linked to endothelial cell survival. Here, we show that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) differentially activate Raf, resulting in protection from distinct pathways of apoptosis in human endothelial cells and chick embryo vasculature. bFGF activated Raf-1 via p21-activated protein kinase-1 (PAK-1) phosphorylation of serines 338 and 339, resulting in Raf-1 mitochondrial translocation and endothelial cell protection from the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, independent of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1 (MEK1). In contrast, VEGF activated Raf-1 via Src kinase, leading to phosphorylation of tyrosines 340 and 341 and MEK1-dependent protection from extrinsic-mediated apoptosis. These findings implicate Raf-1 as a pivotal regulator of endothelial cell survival during angiogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Alavi, Alireza -- Hood, John D -- Frausto, Ricardo -- Stupack, Dwayne G -- Cheresh, David A -- CA45726/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA50286/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA75924/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA78045/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 4;301(5629):94-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12843393" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing is an important mechanism for generating protein diversity and may explain in part how mammalian complexity arises from a surprisingly small complement of genes. Here, we describe "digital polony exon profiling,"a single molecule-based technology for studying complex alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing. This technology allows researchers to monitor the combinatorial diversity of exon inclusion in individual transcripts. A minisequencing strategy provides single nucleotide resolution, and the digital nature of the technology allows quantitation of individual splicing variants. Digital polony exon profiling can be used to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of alternately spliced messenger RNAs, as well as the mechanisms by which these messenger RNAs are produced.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhu, Jun -- Shendure, Jay -- Mitra, Robi D -- Church, George M -- 5U54GM62119/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 8;301(5634):836-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, 200 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12907803" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mechanisms that determine how folding attempts are interrupted to target folding-incompetent proteins for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) are poorly defined. Here the alpha-mannosidase I-like protein EDEM was shown to extract misfolded glycoproteins, but not glycoproteins undergoing productive folding, from the calnexin cycle. EDEM overexpression resulted in faster release of folding-incompetent proteins from the calnexin cycle and earlier onset of degradation, whereas EDEM down-regulation prolonged folding attempts and delayed ERAD. Up-regulation of EDEM during ER stress may promote cell recovery by clearing the calnexin cycle and by accelerating ERAD of terminally misfolded polypeptides.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Molinari, Maurizio -- Calanca, Verena -- Galli, Carmela -- Lucca, Paola -- Paganetti, Paolo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 28;299(5611):1397-400.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Research in Biomedicine, CH-6500 Bellinzona, Switzerland.

This sensor uses B lymphocytes that have been engineered to emit light within seconds of exposure to specific bacteria and viruses. We demonstrated rapid screening of relevant samples and identification of a variety of pathogens at very low levels. Because of its speed, sensitivity, and specificity, this pathogen identification technology could prove useful for medical diagnostics, biowarfare defense, food- and water-quality monitoring, and other applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rider, Todd H -- Petrovick, Martha S -- Nargi, Frances E -- Harper, James D -- Schwoebel, Eric D -- Mathews, Richard H -- Blanchard, David J -- Bortolin, Laura T -- Young, Albert M -- Chen, Jianzhu -- Hollis, Mark A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 11;301(5630):213-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA 02420, USA. thor@ll.mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12855808" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cranial radiation therapy causes a progressive decline in cognitive function that is linked to impaired neurogenesis. Chronic inflammation accompanies radiation injury, suggesting that inflammatory processes may contribute to neural stem cell dysfunction. Here, we show that neuroinflammation alone inhibits neurogenesis and that inflammatory blockade with indomethacin, a common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, restores neurogenesis after endotoxin-induced inflammation and augments neurogenesis after cranial irradiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Monje, Michelle L -- Toda, Hiroki -- Palmer, Theo D -- F30 NS04696701/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- MH20016-05/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 5;302(5651):1760-5.

    Description: Phototropins are light-activated kinases important for plant responses to blue light. Light initiates signaling in these proteins by generating a covalent protein-flavin mononucleotide (FMN) adduct within sensory Per-ARNT-Sim (PAS) domains. We characterized the light-dependent changes of a phototropin PAS domain by solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and found that an alpha helix located outside the canonical domain plays a key role in this activation process. Although this helix associates with the PAS core in the dark, photoinduced changes in the domain structure disrupt this interaction. We propose that this mechanism couples light-dependent bond formation to kinase activation and identifies a signaling pathway conserved among PAS domains.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harper, Shannon M -- Neil, Lori C -- Gardner, Kevin H -- CA90601/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM08297/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 12;301(5639):1541-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departments of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390-9038, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12970567" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Insulin resistance is a major hallmark in the development of type II diabetes, which is characterized by the failure of insulin to promote glucose uptake in muscle and to suppress glucose production in liver. The serine-threonine kinase Akt (PKB) is a principal target of insulin signaling that inhibits hepatic glucose output when glucose is available from food. Here we show that TRB3, a mammalian homolog of Drosophila tribbles, functions as a negative modulator of Akt. TRB3 expression is induced in liver under fasting conditions, and TRB3 disrupts insulin signaling by binding directly to Akt and blocking activation of the kinase. Amounts of TRB3 RNA and protein were increased in livers of db/db diabetic mice compared with those in wild-type mice. Hepatic overexpression of TRB3 in amounts comparable to those in db/db mice promoted hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. Our results suggest that, by interfering with Akt activation, TRB3 contributes to insulin resistance in individuals with susceptibility to type II diabetes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Du, Keyong -- Herzig, Stephan -- Kulkarni, Rohit N -- Montminy, Marc -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 6;300(5625):1574-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Peptide Biology Laboratories, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037-1002, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12791994" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Prefoldins (PFDs) are members of a recently identified, small-molecular weight protein family able to assemble into molecular chaperone complexes. Here we describe an unusually large member of this family, termed URI, that forms complexes with other small-molecular weight PFDs and with RPB5, a shared subunit of all three RNA polymerases. Functional analysis of the yeast and human orthologs of URI revealed that both are targets of nutrient signaling and participate in gene expression controlled by the TOR kinase. Thus, URI is a component of a signaling pathway that coordinates nutrient availability with gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gstaiger, Matthias -- Luke, Brian -- Hess, Daniel -- Oakeley, Edward J -- Wirbelauer, Christiane -- Blondel, Marc -- Vigneron, Marc -- Peter, Matthias -- Krek, Wilhelm -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 14;302(5648):1208-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Friedrich Miescher Institut, Maulbeerstrasse 66, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14615539" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Axonal voltage-gated potassium (Kv1) channels regulate action-potential invasion and hence transmitter release. Although evolutionarily conserved, what mediates their axonal targeting is not known. We found that Kv1 axonal targeting required its T1 tetramerization domain. When fused to unpolarized CD4 or dendritic transferrin receptor, T1 promoted their axonal surface expression. Moreover, T1 mutations eliminating Kvbeta association compromised axonal targeting, but not surface expression, of CD4-T1 fusion proteins. Thus, proper association of Kvbeta with the Kv1 T1 domain is essential for axonal targeting.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gu, Chen -- Jan, Yuh Nung -- Jan, Lily Yeh -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 1;301(5633):646-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Departments of Physiology and Biochemistry, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143-0725, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12893943" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Paracaspase (MALT1), a member of an evolutionarily conserved superfamily of caspase-like proteins, has been shown to bind and colocalize with the protein Bcl10 in vitro and, because of this association, has been suggested to be involved in the CARMA1-Bcl10 pathway of antigen-induced nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. We demonstrate that primary T and B lymphocytes from paracaspase-deficient mice are defective in antigen-receptor-induced NF-kappaB activation, cytokine production, and proliferation. Paracaspase acts downstream of Bcl10 to induce NF-kappaB activation and is required for the normal development of B cells, indicating that paracaspase provides the missing link between Bcl10 and activation of the IkappaB kinase complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ruefli-Brasse, Astrid A -- French, Dorothy M -- Dixit, Vishva M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 28;302(5650):1581-4.

    Description: We have developed a proteomic approach for identifying phosphopeptide binding domains that modulate kinase-dependent signaling pathways. An immobilized library of partially degenerate phosphopeptides biased toward a particular protein kinase phosphorylation motif is used to isolate phospho-binding domains that bind to proteins phosphorylated by that kinase. Applying this approach to cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), we identified the polo-box domain (PBD) of the mitotic kinase polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) as a specific phosphoserine (pSer) or phosphothreonine (pThr) binding domain and determined its optimal binding motif. This motif is present in known Plk1 substrates such as Cdc25, and an optimal phosphopeptide containing the motif disrupted PBD-substrate binding and localization of the PBD to centrosomes. This finding reveals how Plk1 can localize to specific sites within cells in response to Cdk phosphorylation at those sites and provides a structural mechanism for targeting the Plk1 kinase domain to its substrates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Elia, Andrew E H -- Cantley, Lewis C -- Yaffe, Michael B -- GM52981/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56203/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056203/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 21;299(5610):1228-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Cancer Research, Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12595692" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The rhizobial infection of legumes has the most stringent demand toward Nod factor structure of all host responses, and therefore a specific Nod factor entry receptor has been proposed. The SYM2 gene identified in certain ecotypes of pea (Pisum sativum) is a good candidate for such an entry receptor. We exploited the close phylogenetic relationship of pea and the model legume Medicago truncatula to identify genes specifically involved in rhizobial infection. The SYM2 orthologous region of M. truncatula contains 15 putative receptor-like genes, of which 7 are LysM domain-containing receptor-like kinases (LYKs). Using reverse genetics in M. truncatula, we show that two LYK genes are specifically involved in infection thread formation. This, as well as the properties of the LysM domains, strongly suggests that they are Nod factor entry receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Limpens, Erik -- Franken, Carolien -- Smit, Patrick -- Willemse, Joost -- Bisseling, Ton -- Geurts, Rene -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 24;302(5645):630-3.

    Description: Preclinical or clinical trials for muscular dystrophies have met with modest success, mainly because of inefficient delivery of viral vectors or donor cells to dystrophic muscles. We report here that intra-arterial delivery of wild-type mesoangioblasts, a class of vessel-associated stem cells, corrects morphologically and functionally the dystrophic phenotype of virtually all downstream muscles in adult immunocompetent alpha-sarcoglycan (alpha-SG) null mice, a model organism for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. When mesoangioblasts isolated from juvenile dystrophic mice and transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing alpha-SG were injected into the femoral artery of dystrophic mice, they reconstituted skeletal muscle in a manner similar to that seen in wild-type cells. The success of this protocol was mainly due to widespread distribution of donor stem cells through the capillary network, a distinct advantage of this strategy over previous approaches.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sampaolesi, Maurilio -- Torrente, Yvan -- Innocenzi, Anna -- Tonlorenzi, Rossana -- D'Antona, Giuseppe -- Pellegrino, M Antonietta -- Barresi, Rita -- Bresolin, Nereo -- De Angelis, M Gabriella Cusella -- Campbell, Kevin P -- Bottinelli, Roberto -- Cossu, Giulio -- 1322/Telethon/Italy -- 463/BI/Telethon/Italy -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 25;301(5632):487-92.

    Description: Wnt proteins, regulators of development in many organisms, bind to seven transmembrane-spanning (7TMS) receptors called frizzleds, thereby recruiting the cytoplasmic molecule dishevelled (Dvl) to the plasma membrane.Frizzled-mediated endocytosis of Wg (a Drosophila Wnt protein) and lysosomal degradation may regulate the formation of morphogen gradients. Endocytosis of Frizzled 4 (Fz4) in human embryonic kidney 293 cells was dependent on added Wnt5A protein and was accomplished by the multifunctional adaptor protein beta-arrestin 2 (betaarr2), which was recruited to Fz4 by binding to phosphorylated Dvl2. These findings provide a previously unrecognized mechanism for receptor recruitment of beta-arrestin and demonstrate that Dvl plays an important role in the endocytosis of frizzled, as well as in promoting signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Wei -- ten Berge, Derk -- Brown, Jeff -- Ahn, Seungkirl -- Hu, Liaoyuan A -- Miller, William E -- Caron, Marc G -- Barak, Larry S -- Nusse, Roel -- Lefkowitz, Robert J -- HL 16037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL 61365/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS 19576/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 5;301(5638):1391-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Departments of Medicine and Biochemistry, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12958364" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The carboxyl-terminal domain (BRCT) of the Breast Cancer Gene 1 (BRCA1) protein is an evolutionarily conserved module that exists in a large number of proteins from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Although most BRCT domain-containing proteins participate in DNA-damage checkpoint or DNA-repair pathways, or both, the function of the BRCT domain is not fully understood. We show that the BRCA1 BRCT domain directly interacts with phosphorylated BRCA1-Associated Carboxyl-terminal Helicase (BACH1). This specific interaction between BRCA1 and phosphorylated BACH1 is cell cycle regulated and is required for DNA damage-induced checkpoint control during the transition from G2 to M phase of the cell cycle. Further, we show that two other BRCT domains interact with their respective physiological partners in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Thirteen additional BRCT domains also preferentially bind phospho-peptides rather than nonphosphorylated control peptides. These data imply that the BRCT domain is a phospho-protein binding domain involved in cell cycle control.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Xiaochun -- Chini, Claudia Christiano Silva -- He, Miao -- Mer, Georges -- Chen, Junjie -- CA89239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA92312/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 24;302(5645):639-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Oncology, Mayo Clinic and Foundation, Rochester, MN 55905, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14576433" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The multidomain proapoptotic molecules BAK or BAX are required to initiate the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. How cells maintain the potentially lethal proapoptotic effector BAK in a monomeric inactive conformation at mitochondria is unknown. In viable cells, we found BAK complexed with mitochondrial outer-membrane protein VDAC2, a VDAC isoform present in low abundance that interacts specifically with the inactive conformer of BAK. Cells deficient in VDAC2, but not cells lacking the more abundant VDAC1, exhibited enhanced BAK oligomerization and were more susceptible to apoptotic death. Conversely, overexpression of VDAC2 selectively prevented BAK activation and inhibited the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Death signals activate "BH3-only" molecules such as tBID, BIM, or BAD, which displace VDAC2 from BAK, enabling homo-oligomerization of BAK and apoptosis. Thus, VDAC2, an isoform restricted to mammals, regulates the activity of BAK and provides a connection between mitochondrial physiology and the core apoptotic pathway.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheng, Emily H Y -- Sheiko, Tatiana V -- Fisher, Jill K -- Craigen, William J -- Korsmeyer, Stanley J -- NS42319/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37CA50239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 25;301(5632):513-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12881569" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Erythrocytic mechanisms involved in malarial infection are poorly understood. We have found that signaling via the erythrocyte beta2-adrenergic receptor and heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Galphas) regulated the entry of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Agonists that stimulate cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate production led to an increase in malarial infection that could be blocked by specific receptor antagonists. Moreover, peptides designed to inhibit Galphas protein function reduced parasitemia in P. falciparum cultures in vitro, and beta-antagonists reduced parasitemia of P. berghei infections in an in vivo mouse model. Thus, signaling via the erythrocyte beta2-adrenergic receptor and Galphas may regulate malarial infection across parasite species.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harrison, Travis -- Samuel, Benjamin U -- Akompong, Thomas -- Hamm, Heidi -- Mohandas, Narla -- Lomasney, Jon W -- Haldar, Kasturi -- AI39071/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK32094/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- EY06062/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- EY10291/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- HL03961/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL55591/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL69630/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 19;301(5640):1734-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, 303 Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14500986" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration are important events in the development of atherosclerosis. The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP1) mediates suppression of SMC migration induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Here we show that LRP1 forms a complex with the PDGF receptor (PDGFR). Inactivation of LRP1 in vascular SMCs of mice causes PDGFR overexpression and abnormal activation of PDGFR signaling, resulting in disruption of the elastic layer, SMC proliferation, aneurysm formation, and marked susceptibility to cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis. The development of these abnormalities was reduced by treatment with Gleevec, an inhibitor of PDGF signaling. Thus, LRP1 has a pivotal role in protecting vascular wall integrity and preventing atherosclerosis by controlling PDGFR activation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boucher, Philippe -- Gotthardt, Michael -- Li, Wei-Ping -- Anderson, Richard G W -- Herz, Joachim -- GM 52016/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL20948/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL63762/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS43408/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 11;300(5617):329-32.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390-9046, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12690199" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that activates a cell-surface signaling assembly composed of IL-6, the IL-6 alpha-receptor (IL-6Ralpha), and the shared signaling receptor gp130. The 3.65 angstrom-resolution structure of the extracellular signaling complex reveals a hexameric, interlocking assembly mediated by a total of 10 symmetry-related, thermodynamically coupled interfaces. Assembly of the hexameric complex occurs sequentially: IL-6 is first engaged by IL-6Ralpha and then presented to gp130in the proper geometry to facilitate a cooperative transition into the high-affinity, signaling-competent hexamer. The quaternary structures of other IL-6/IL-12 family signaling complexes are likely constructed by means of a similar topological blueprint.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boulanger, Martin J -- Chow, Dar-chone -- Brevnova, Elena E -- Garcia, K Christopher -- AI51321/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 27;300(5628):2101-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Immunology and Department of Structural Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Fairchild D319, 299 Campus Drive, Stanford, CA 94305-5124, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12829785" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Individual cellular clocks in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the circadian center, are integrated into a stable and robust pacemaker with a period length of about 24 hours. We used real-time analysis of gene expression to show synchronized rhythms of clock gene transcription across hundreds of neurons within the mammalian SCN in organotypic slice culture. Differentially phased neuronal clocks are topographically arranged across the SCN. A protein synthesis inhibitor set all cell clocks to the same initial phase and, after withdrawal, intrinsic interactions among cell clocks reestablished the stable program of gene expression across the assemblage. Na+-dependent action potentials contributed to establishing cellular synchrony and maintaining spontaneous oscillation across the SCN.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yamaguchi, Shun -- Isejima, Hiromi -- Matsuo, Takuya -- Okura, Ryusuke -- Yagita, Kazuhiro -- Kobayashi, Masaki -- Okamura, Hitoshi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 21;302(5649):1408-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Molecular Brain Science, Department of Brain Sciences, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe 650-0017, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631044" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) Rac1 and Rac2 are critical signaling regulators in mammalian cells. The deletion of both Rac1 and Rac2 murine alleles leads to a massive egress of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/Ps) into the blood from the marrow, whereas Rac1-/- but not Rac2-/- HSC/Ps fail to engraft in the bone marrow of irradiated recipient mice. In contrast, Rac2, but not Rac1, regulates superoxide production and directed migration in neutrophils, and in each cell type, the two GTPases play distinct roles in actin organization, cell survival, and proliferation. Thus, Rac1 and Rac2 regulate unique aspects of hematopoietic development and function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gu, Yi -- Filippi, Marie-Dominique -- Cancelas, Jose A -- Siefring, Jamie E -- Williams, Emily P -- Jasti, Aparna C -- Harris, Chad E -- Lee, Andrew W -- Prabhakar, Rethinasamy -- Atkinson, Simon J -- Kwiatkowski, David J -- Williams, David A -- DK62757/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 17;302(5644):445-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Experimental Hematology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14564009" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Nitric oxide was found to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis in cells as diverse as brown adipocytes and 3T3-L1, U937, and HeLa cells. This effect of nitric oxide was dependent on guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) and was mediated by the induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha, a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Moreover, the mitochondrial biogenesis induced by exposure to cold was markedly reduced in brown adipose tissue of endothelial nitric oxide synthase null-mutant (eNOS-/-) mice, which had a reduced metabolic rate and accelerated weight gain as compared to wild-type mice. Thus, a nitric oxide-cGMP-dependent pathway controls mitochondrial biogenesis and body energy balance.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nisoli, Enzo -- Clementi, Emilio -- Paolucci, Clara -- Cozzi, Valeria -- Tonello, Cristina -- Sciorati, Clara -- Bracale, Renata -- Valerio, Alessandra -- Francolini, Maura -- Moncada, Salvador -- Carruba, Michele O -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 7;299(5608):896-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Preclinical Sciences, Center for Study and Research on Obesity, Luigi Sacco Hospital, University of Milan, Milan 20157, Italy. enzo.nisoli@unimi.it〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12574632" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Cooling of blood platelets clusters the von Willebrand factor receptor complex. Macrophage alphaMbeta2 integrins bind to the GPIbalpha subunit of the clustered complex, resulting in rapid clearance of transfused, cooled platelets. This precludes refrigeration of platelets for transfusion, but the current practice of room temperature storage has major drawbacks. We document that alphaMbeta2 is a lectin that recognizes exposed beta-N-acetylglucosamine residues of N-linked glycans on GPIbalpha. Enzymatic galactosylation of chilled platelets blocks alphaMbeta2 recognition, prolonging the circulation of functional cooled platelets. Platelet-associated galactosyltransferase produces efficient galactosylation when uridine diphosphate-galactose is added, affording a potentially simple method for storing platelets in the cold.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hoffmeister, Karin M -- Josefsson, Emma C -- Isaac, Natasha A -- Clausen, Henrik -- Hartwig, John H -- Stossel, Thomas P -- HL19429/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL56949/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 12;301(5639):1531-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. khoffmeister@rics.bwh.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12970565" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) Vif is essential for viral evasion of host antiviral factor CEM15/APOBEC3G. We report that Vif interacts with cellular proteins Cul5, elongins B and C, and Rbx1 to form an Skp1-cullin-F-box (SCF)-like complex. The ability of Vif to suppress antiviral activity of APOBEC3G was specifically dependent on Cul5-SCF function, allowing Vif to interact with APOBEC3G and induce its ubiquitination and degradation. A Vif mutant that interacted with APOBEC3G but not with Cul5-SCF was functionally inactive. The Cul5-SCF was also required for Vif function in distantly related simian immunodeficiency virus mac. These results indicate that the conserved Cul5-SCF pathway used by Vif is a potential target for antiviral development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Xianghui -- Yu, Yunkai -- Liu, Bindong -- Luo, Kun -- Kong, Wei -- Mao, Panyong -- Yu, Xiao-Fang -- 1S10-RR14702/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 7;302(5647):1056-60.

    Description: Helicobacter pylori translocates the protein CagA into gastric epithelial cells and has been linked to peptic ulcer disease and gastric carcinoma. We show that injected CagA associates with the epithelial tight-junction scaffolding protein ZO-1 and the transmembrane protein junctional adhesion molecule, causing an ectopic assembly of tight-junction components at sites of bacterial attachment, and altering the composition and function of the apical-junctional complex. Long-term CagA delivery to polarized epithelia caused a disruption of the epithelial barrier function and dysplastic alterations in epithelial cell morphology. CagA appears to target H. pylori to host cell intercellular junctions and to disrupt junction-mediated functions.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3369828/" 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/PMC3369828/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Amieva, Manuel R -- Vogelmann, Roger -- Covacci, Antonello -- Tompkins, Lucy S -- Nelson, W James -- Falkow, Stanley -- AI38459/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA92229/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DDC DK56339/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM035527/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM35227/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 30;300(5624):1430-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305, USA. amieva@stanford.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12775840" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Control of integrin affinity for ligands (integrin activation) is essential for normal cell adhesion, migration, and assembly of an extracellular matrix. Integrin activation is usually mediated through the integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic tail and can be regulated by many different biochemical signaling pathways. We report that specific binding of the cytoskeletal protein talin to integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic tails leads to the conformational rearrangements of integrin extracellular domains that increase their affinity. Thus, regulated binding of talin to integrin beta tails is a final common element of cellular signaling cascades that control integrin activation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tadokoro, Seiji -- Shattil, Sanford J -- Eto, Koji -- Tai, Vera -- Liddington, Robert C -- de Pereda, Jose M -- Ginsberg, Mark H -- Calderwood, David A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 3;302(5642):103-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, The Burnham Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14526080" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Molecular etiologies of heart failure, an emerging cardiovascular epidemic affecting 4.7 million Americans and costing 17.8 billion health-care dollars annually, remain poorly understood. Here we report that an inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure is caused by a dominant Arg --〉 Cys missense mutation at residue 9 (R9C) in phospholamban (PLN), a transmembrane phosphoprotein that inhibits the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA2a) pump. Transgenic PLN(R9C) mice recapitulated human heart failure with premature death. Cellular and biochemical studies revealed that, unlike wild-type PLN, PLN(R9C) did not directly inhibit SERCA2a. Rather, PLN(R9C) trapped protein kinase A (PKA), which blocked PKA-mediated phosphorylation of wild-type PLN and in turn delayed decay of calcium transients in myocytes. These results indicate that myocellular calcium dysregulation can initiate human heart failure-a finding that may lead to therapeutic opportunities.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schmitt, Joachim P -- Kamisago, Mitsuhiro -- Asahi, Michio -- Li, Guo Hua -- Ahmad, Ferhaan -- Mende, Ulrike -- Kranias, Evangelia G -- MacLennan, David H -- Seidman, J G -- Seidman, Christine E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 28;299(5611):1410-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 200 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12610310" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive intracytosolic pathogen that causes severe disease in pregnant and immunocompromised individuals. We found that L. monocytogenes lacking the lipoate protein ligase LplA1 was defective for growth specifically in the host cytosol and was less virulent in animals by a factor of 300. A major target for LplA1, the E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), lacked a critical lipoyl modification when the DeltalplA1 strain was grown intracellularly, which suggests that abortive growth was due to loss of PDH function. Thus, the use of host-derived lipoic acid may be a critical process for in vivo replication of bacterial pathogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Riordan, Mary -- Moors, Marlena A -- Portnoy, Daniel A -- AI29619/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI027655/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI27655/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI029619/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 17;302(5644):462-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-3202, USA. oriordan@umich.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14564012" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum cause trans-autophosphorylation of the bifunctional transmembrane kinase Ire1, which induces its endoribonuclease activity. The endoribonuclease initiates nonconventional splicing of HAC1 messenger RNA to trigger the unfolded-protein response (UPR). We explored the role of Ire1's kinase domain by sensitizing it through site-directed mutagenesis to the ATP-competitive inhibitor 1NM-PP1. Paradoxically, rather than being inhibited by 1NM-PP1, drug-sensitized Ire1 mutants required 1NM-PP1 as a cofactor for activation. In the presence of 1NM-PP1, drug-sensitized Ire1 bypassed mutations that inactivate its kinase activity and induced a full UPR. Thus, rather than through phosphorylation per se, a conformational change in the kinase domain triggered by occupancy of the active site with a ligand leads to activation of all known downstream functions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Papa, Feroz R -- Zhang, Chao -- Shokat, Kevan -- Walter, Peter -- AI44009/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM32384/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 28;302(5650):1533-7.

    Description: Local circuits in the spinal cord that generate locomotion are termed central pattern generators (CPGs). These provide coordinated bilateral control over the normal limb alternation that underlies walking. The molecules that organize the mammalian CPG are unknown. Isolated spinal cords from mice lacking either the EphA4 receptor or its ligand ephrinB3 have lost left-right limb alternation and instead exhibit synchrony. We identified EphA4-positive neurons as an excitatory component of the locomotor CPG. Our study shows that dramatic locomotor changes can occur as a consequence of local genetic rewiring and identifies genes required for the development of normal locomotor behavior.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kullander, Klas -- Butt, Simon J B -- Lebret, James M -- Lundfald, Line -- Restrepo, Carlos E -- Rydstrom, Anna -- Klein, Rudiger -- Kiehn, Ole -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 21;299(5614):1889-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Biochemistry, Gothenburg University, Medicinaregatan 9 A, 405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden. klas.kullander@medkem.gu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12649481" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Despite a central circadian role in Drosophila for the transcriptional regulator Timeless (dTim), the relevance of mammalian Timeless (mTim) remains equivocal. Conditional knockdown of mTim protein expression in the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) disrupted SCN neuronal activity rhythms, and altered levels of known core clock elements. Full-length mTim protein (mTIM-fl) exhibited a 24-hour oscillation, where as a truncated isoform (mTIM-s) was constitutively expressed. mTIM-fl associated with the mammalian clock Period proteins (mPERs) in oscillating SCN cells. These data suggest that mTim is required for rhythmicity and is a functional homolog of dTim on the negative-feedback arm of the mammalian molecular clockwork.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barnes, Jessica W -- Tischkau, Shelley A -- Barnes, Jeffrey A -- Mitchell, Jennifer W -- Burgoon, Penny W -- Hickok, Jason R -- Gillette, Martha U -- GM07143/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL67007/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS10170/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS11134/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS11158/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS22155/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS35859/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL067007/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS022155/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS035859/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 17;302(5644):439-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Structural Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14564007" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Genes associated with Hirschsprung disease, a failure to form enteric ganglia in the hindgut, were highly up-regulated in gut neural crest stem cells relative to whole-fetus RNA. One of these genes, the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) receptor Ret, was necessary for neural crest stem cell migration in the gut. GDNF promoted the migration of neural crest stem cells in culture but did not affect their survival or proliferation. Gene expression profiling, combined with reverse genetics and analyses of stem cell function, suggests that Hirschsprung disease is caused by defects in neural crest stem cell function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2614078/" 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/PMC2614078/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Iwashita, Toshihide -- Kruger, Genevieve M -- Pardal, Ricardo -- Kiel, Mark J -- Morrison, Sean J -- CA46592/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK58771/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- NIH5P60-DK20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 AR48310/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- P60-AR20557/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040750/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040750-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS40750-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21 HD40760-02/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 15;301(5635):972-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-0934, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920301" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In the mouse olfactory system, each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses only one odorant receptor (OR) gene in a monoallelic and mutually exclusive manner. Such expression forms the genetic basis for OR-instructed axonal projection of OSNs to the olfactory bulb of the brain during development. Here, we identify an upstream cis-acting DNA region that activates the OR gene cluster in mouse and allows the expression of only one OR gene within the cluster. Deletion of the coding region of the expressed OR gene or a naturally occurring frame-shift mutation allows a second OR gene to be expressed. We propose that stochastic activation of only one OR gene within the cluster and negative feedback regulation by that OR gene product are necessary to ensure the one receptor-one neuron rule.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Serizawa, Shou -- Miyamichi, Kazunari -- Nakatani, Hiroko -- Suzuki, Misao -- Saito, Michiko -- Yoshihara, Yoshihiro -- Sakano, Hitoshi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 19;302(5653):2088-94.

    Description: Asymmetric divisions are crucial for generating cell diversity; they rely on coupling between polarity cues and spindle positioning, but how this coupling is achieved is poorly understood. In one-cell stage Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, polarity cues set by the PAR proteins mediate asymmetric spindle positioning by governing an imbalance of net pulling forces acting on spindle poles. We found that the GoLoco-containing proteins GPR-1 and GPR-2, as well as the Galpha subunits GOA-1 and GPA-16, were essential for generation of proper pulling forces. GPR-1/2 interacted with guanosine diphosphate-bound GOA-1 and were enriched on the posterior cortex in a par-3- and par-2-dependent manner. Thus, the extent of net pulling forces may depend on cortical Galpha activity, which is regulated by anterior-posterior polarity cues through GPR-1/2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Colombo, Kelly -- Grill, Stephan W -- Kimple, Randall J -- Willard, Francis S -- Siderovski, David P -- Gonczy, Pierre -- GM62338/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 20;300(5627):1957-61.

    Description: Plant disease-resistance (R) proteins are thought to function as receptors for ligands produced directly or indirectly by pathogen avirulence (Avr) proteins. The biochemical functions of most Avr proteins are unknown, and the mechanisms by which they activate R proteins have not been determined. In Arabidopsis, resistance to Pseudomonas syringae strains expressing AvrPphB requires RPS5, a member of the class of R proteins that have a predicted nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeats, and PBS1, a protein kinase. AvrPphB was found to proteolytically cleave PBS1, and this cleavage was required for RPS5-mediated resistance, which indicates that AvrPphB is detected indirectly via its enzymatic activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shao, Feng -- Golstein, Catherine -- Ade, Jules -- Stoutemyer, Mark -- Dixon, Jack E -- Innes, Roger W -- DK18849/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM46451/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 29;301(5637):1230-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Chemistry, Medical School and Life Sciences Institute, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12947197" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) superfamily share an intracytoplasmic Toll-IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain, which mediates recruitment of the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) complex via TIR-containing adapter molecules. We describe three unrelated children with inherited IRAK-4 deficiency. Their blood and fibroblast cells did not activate nuclear factor kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and failed to induce downstream cytokines in response to any of the known ligands of TIR-bearing receptors. The otherwise healthy children developed infections caused by pyogenic bacteria. These findings suggest that, in humans, the TIR-IRAK signaling pathway is crucial for protective immunity against specific bacteria but is redundant against most other microorganisms.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Picard, Capucine -- Puel, Anne -- Bonnet, Marion -- Ku, Cheng-Lung -- Bustamante, Jacinta -- Yang, Kun -- Soudais, Claire -- Dupuis, Stephanie -- Feinberg, Jacqueline -- Fieschi, Claire -- Elbim, Carole -- Hitchcock, Remi -- Lammas, David -- Davies, Graham -- Al-Ghonaium, Abdulaziz -- Al-Rayes, Hassan -- Al-Jumaah, Sulaiman -- Al-Hajjar, Sami -- Al-Mohsen, Ibrahim Zaid -- Frayha, Husn H -- Rucker, Rajivi -- Hawn, Thomas R -- Aderem, Alan -- Tufenkeji, Haysam -- Haraguchi, Soichi -- Day, Noorbibi K -- Good, Robert A -- Gougerot-Pocidalo, Marie-Anne -- Ozinsky, Adrian -- Casanova, Jean-Laurent -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 28;299(5615):2076-9.

    Description: Although the role of Toll-like receptors in extracellular bacterial sensing has been investigated intensively, intracellular detection of bacteria through Nod molecules remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we show that human Nod1 specifically detects a unique diaminopimelate-containing N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramic acid (GlcNAc-MurNAc) tripeptide motif found in Gram-negative bacterial peptidoglycan, resulting in activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB pathway. Moreover, we show that in epithelial cells (which represent the first line of defense against invasive pathogens), Nod1is indispensable for intracellular Gram-negative bacterial sensing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Girardin, Stephen E -- Boneca, Ivo G -- Carneiro, Leticia A M -- Antignac, Aude -- Jehanno, Muguette -- Viala, Jerome -- Tedin, Karsten -- Taha, Muhamed-Kheir -- Labigne, Agnes -- Zahringer, Ulrich -- Coyle, Anthony J -- DiStefano, Peter S -- Bertin, John -- Sansonetti, Philippe J -- Philpott, Dana J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 6;300(5625):1584-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Unite de Pathogenie Microbienne Moleculaire, INSERM U389, Institut Pasteur, 28, Rue du Dr. Roux, 75724Paris Cedex 15, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12791997" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In plants, cell-to-cell communication is mediated by plasmodesmata and involves the trafficking of non-cell-autonomous proteins (NCAPs). A component in this pathway, Nicotiana tabacum NON-CELL-AUTONOMOUS PATHWAY PROTEIN1 (NtNCAPP1), was affinity purified and cloned. Protein overlay assays and in vivo studies showed that NtNCAPP1 is located on the endoplasmic reticulum at the cell periphery and displays specificity in its interaction with NCAPs. Deletion of the NtNCAPP1 amino-terminal transmembrane domain produced a dominant-negative mutant that blocked the trafficking of specific NCAPs. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing this mutant form of NtNCAPP1 and plants in which the NtNCAPP1 gene was silenced were compromised in their ability to regulate leaf and floral development. These results support a model in which NCAP delivery to plasmodesmata is both selective and regulated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Jung-Youn -- Yoo, Byung-Chun -- Rojas, Maria R -- Gomez-Ospina, Natalia -- Staehelin, L Andrew -- Lucas, William J -- GM18639/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 17;299(5605):392-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Plant Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, 1 Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12532017" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neurogenesis occurs in the olfactory system of the adult brain throughout life, in both invertebrates and vertebrates, but its physiological regulation is not understood. We show that the production of neuronal progenitors is stimulated in the forebrain subventricular zone of female mice during pregnancy and that this effect is mediated by the hormone prolactin. The progenitors then migrate to produce new olfactory interneurons, a process likely to be important for maternal behavior, because olfactory discrimination is critical for recognition and rearing of offspring. Neurogenesis occurs even in females that mate with sterile males. These findings imply that forebrain olfactory neurogenesis may contribute to adaptive behaviors in mating and pregnancy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shingo, Tetsuro -- Gregg, Christopher -- Enwere, Emeka -- Fujikawa, Hirokazu -- Hassam, Rozina -- Geary, Colleen -- Cross, James C -- Weiss, Samuel -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 3;299(5603):117-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genes & Development Research Group, Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 4N1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12511652" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The early genetic pathway(s) triggering the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) remain largely unknown. Here, we describe an autosomal dominant form of CAD/MI (adCAD1) that is caused by the deletion of seven amino acids in transcription factor MEF2A. The deletion disrupts nuclear localization of MEF2A, reduces MEF2A-mediated transcription activation, and abolishes synergistic activation by MEF2A and by the transcription factor GATA-1 through a dominant-negative mechanism. The MEF2A protein demonstrates strong expression in the endothelium of coronary arteries. These results identify a pathogenic gene for a familial vascular disease with features of CAD and implicate the MEF2A signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of CAD/MI.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1618876/" 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/PMC1618876/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Lejin -- Fan, Chun -- Topol, Sarah E -- Topol, Eric J -- Wang, Qing -- R01 HL065630/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL066251/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL65630/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL66251/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 28;302(5650):1578-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Cardiovascular Genetics, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14645853" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Spore formation by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis is an elaborate developmental process that is triggered by nutrient limitation. Here we report that cells that have entered the pathway to sporulate produce and export a killing factor and a signaling protein that act cooperatively to block sister cells from sporulating and to cause them to lyse. The sporulating cells feed on the nutrients thereby released, which allows them to keep growing rather than to complete morphogenesis. We propose that sporulation is a stress-response pathway of last resort and that B. subtilis delays a commitment to spore formation by cannibalizing its siblings.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gonzalez-Pastor, Jose E -- Hobbs, Errett C -- Losick, Richard -- GM18568/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 25;301(5632):510-3.

    Description: During B lymphocyte development, antibodies are assembled by random gene segment reassortment to produce a vast number of specificities. A potential disadvantage of this process is that some of the antibodies produced are self-reactive. We determined the prevalence of self-reactive antibody formation and its regulation in human B cells. A majority (55 to 75%) of all antibodies expressed by early immature B cells displayed self-reactivity, including polyreactive and anti-nuclear specificities. Most of these autoantibodies were removed from the population at two discrete checkpoints during B cell development. Inefficient checkpoint regulation would lead to substantial increases in circulating autoantibodies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wardemann, Hedda -- Yurasov, Sergey -- Schaefer, Anne -- Young, James W -- Meffre, Eric -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 5;301(5638):1374-7.

    Description: Alu repetitive elements can be inserted into mature messenger RNAs via a splicing-mediated process termed exonization. To understand the molecular basis and the regulation of the process of turning intronic Alus into new exons, we compiled and analyzed a data set of human exonized Alus. We revealed a mechanism that governs 3' splice-site selection in these exons during alternative splicing. On the basis of these findings, we identified mutations that activated the exonization of a silent intronic Alu.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lev-Maor, Galit -- Sorek, Rotem -- Shomron, Noam -- Ast, Gil -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 23;300(5623):1288-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Human Genetics and Molecular Medicine, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12764196" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: During early development in vertebrates, Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is produced by the notochord and the floor plate. A ventrodorsal gradient of Shh directs ventrodorsal patterning of the neural tube. However, Shh is also required for the survival of neuroepithelial cells. We show that Patched (Ptc) induces apoptotic cell death unless its ligand Shh is present to block the signal. Moreover, the blockade of Ptc-induced cell death partly rescues the chick spinal cord defect provoked by Shh deprivation. Thus, the proapoptotic activity of unbound Ptc and the positive effect of Shh-bound Ptc on cell differentiation probably cooperate to achieve the appropriate spinal cord development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thibert, Chantal -- Teillet, Marie-Aimee -- Lapointe, Francoise -- Mazelin, Laetitia -- Le Douarin, Nicole M -- Mehlen, Patrick -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 8;301(5634):843-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Apoptosis/Differentiation Laboratory, "La Ligue," Molecular and Cellular Genetic Center, CNRS Unite Mixte Recherche (UMR) 5534, University of Lyon, 69622 Villeurbanne, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12907805" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Although mice lacking rod and cone photoreceptors are blind, they retain many eye-mediated responses to light, possibly through photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. These cells express melanopsin, a photopigment that confers this photosensitivity. Mice lacking melanopsin still retain nonvisual photoreception, suggesting that rods and cones could operate in this capacity. We observed that mice with both outer-retinal degeneration and a deficiency in melanopsin exhibited complete loss of photoentrainment of the circadian oscillator, pupillary light responses, photic suppression of arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase transcript, and acute suppression of locomotor activity by light. This indicates the importance of both nonvisual and classical visual photoreceptor systems for nonvisual photic responses in mammals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Panda, Satchidananda -- Provencio, Ignacio -- Tu, Daniel C -- Pires, Susana S -- Rollag, Mark D -- Castrucci, Ana Maria -- Pletcher, Mathew T -- Sato, Trey K -- Wiltshire, Tim -- Andahazy, Mary -- Kay, Steve A -- Van Gelder, Russell N -- Hogenesch, John B -- K08-EY00403/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- MH 62405/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH51573/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01-EY14988/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 25;301(5632):525-7.

    Description: Because nitric oxide (NO) may be a ubiquitous regulator of cellular signaling, we have modified the yeast two-hybrid system to explore the possibility of NO-dependent protein-protein interactions. We screened for binding partners of procaspase-3, a protein implicated in apoptotic signaling pathways, and identified multiple NO-dependent interactions.Two such interactions, with acid sphingomyelinase and NO synthase, were shown to occur in mammalian cells dependent on endogenous NO. Nitrosylation may thus provide a broad-based mechanism for regulating interactions between proteins. If so, systematic proteomic analyses in which redox state and NO bioavailability are carefully controlled will reveal a large array of novel interactions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Matsumoto, Akio -- Comatas, Karrie E -- Liu, Limin -- Stamler, Jonathan S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 1;301(5633):657-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12893946" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Alternative pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing plays important roles in development, physiology, and disease, and more than half of human genes are alternatively spliced. To understand the biological roles and regulation of alternative splicing across different tissues and stages of development, systematic methods are needed. Here, we demonstrate the use of microarrays to monitor splicing at every exon-exon junction in more than 10,000 multi-exon human genes in 52 tissues and cell lines. These genome-wide data provide experimental evidence and tissue distributions for thousands of known and novel alternative splicing events. Adding to previous studies, the results indicate that at least 74% of human multi-exon genes are alternatively spliced.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johnson, Jason M -- Castle, John -- Garrett-Engele, Philip -- Kan, Zhengyan -- Loerch, Patrick M -- Armour, Christopher D -- Santos, Ralph -- Schadt, Eric E -- Stoughton, Roland -- Shoemaker, Daniel D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 19;302(5653):2141-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, Merck & Co., Inc., 12040 115th Avenue N.E., Kirkland, WA 98034, USA. jason_johnson@merck.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14684825" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) vacuolating cytotoxin VacA induces cellular vacuolation in epithelial cells. We found that VacA could efficiently block proliferation of T cells by inducing a G1/S cell cycle arrest. It interfered with the T cell receptor/interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling pathway at the level of the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin. Nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), a transcription factor acting as a global regulator of immune response genes, was abrogated, resulting in down-regulation of IL-2 transcription. VacA partially mimicked the activity of the immunosuppressive drug FK506 by possibly inducing a local immune suppression, explaining the extraordinary chronicity of Hp infections.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gebert, Bettina -- Fischer, Wolfgang -- Weiss, Evelyn -- Hoffmann, Reinhard -- Haas, Rainer -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 22;301(5636):1099-102.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max von Pettenkofer-Institut fur Hygiene und Medizinische Mikrobiologie, LMU Munchen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12934009" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Both dauer formation (a stage of developmental arrest) and adult life-span in Caenorhabditis elegans are negatively regulated by insulin-like signaling, but little is known about cellular pathways that mediate these processes. Autophagy, through the sequestration and delivery of cargo to the lysosomes, is the major route for degrading long-lived proteins and cytoplasmic organelles in eukaryotic cells. Using nematodes with a loss-of-function mutation in the insulin-like signaling pathway, we show that bec-1, the C. elegans ortholog of the yeast and mammalian autophagy gene APG6/VPS30/beclin1, is essential for normal dauer morphogenesis and life-span extension. Dauer formation is associated with increased autophagy and also requires C. elegans orthologs of the yeast autophagy genes APG1, APG7, APG8, and AUT10. Thus, autophagy is a cellular pathway essential for dauer development and life-span extension in C. elegans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Melendez, Alicia -- Talloczy, Zsolt -- Seaman, Matthew -- Eskelinen, Eeva-Liisa -- Hall, David H -- Levine, Beth -- CA84254/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- RR 12596/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 5;301(5638):1387-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, 630 West 168th Street, New York, NY 10032, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12958363" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Rapid induction of type I interferon expression, a central event in establishing the innate antiviral response, requires cooperative activation of numerous transcription factors. Although signaling pathways that activate the transcription factors nuclear factor kappaB and ATF-2/c-Jun have been well characterized, activation of the interferon regulatory factors IRF-3 and IRF-7 has remained a critical missing link in understanding interferon signaling. We report here that the IkappaB kinase (IKK)-related kinases IKKepsilon and TANK-binding kinase 1 are components of the virus-activated kinase that phosphorylate IRF-3 and IRF-7. These studies illustrate an essential role for an IKK-related kinase pathway in triggering the host antiviral response to viral infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sharma, Sonia -- tenOever, Benjamin R -- Grandvaux, Nathalie -- Zhou, Guo-Ping -- Lin, Rongtuan -- Hiscott, John -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 16;300(5622):1148-51.

    Description: The formation of an atherosclerotic lesion is mediated by lipid-laden macrophages (foam cells), which also establish chronic inflammation associated with lesion progression. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma promotes lipid uptake and efflux in these atherogenic cells. In contrast, we found that the closely related receptor PPARdelta controls the inflammatory status of the macrophage. Deletion of PPARdelta from foam cells increased the availability of inflammatory suppressors, which in turn reduced atherosclerotic lesion area by more than 50%. We propose an unconventional ligand-dependent transcriptional pathway in which PPARdelta controls an inflammatory switch through its association and disassociation with transcriptional repressors. PPARdelta and its ligands may thus serve as therapeutic targets to attenuate inflammation and slow the progression of atherosclerosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Chih-Hao -- Chawla, Ajay -- Urbiztondo, Ned -- Liao, Debbie -- Boisvert, William A -- Evans, Ronald M -- Curtiss, Linda K -- HL69474/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 17;302(5644):453-7.

    Description: Plants produce different types of organs at different times in shoot development. Along with the major changes in organ morphology that take place during developmental transitions, more gradual patterns of variation occur. The identity of organs produced at a particular position on the shoot is determined by interactions between several independently regulated, temporally coordinated processes. Two of these processes are organ production and the specification of organ identity. Coordination of these processes is accomplished in part by a thermal clock and by signal transduction pathways that mediate the response of plants to light.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Poethig, R Scott -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 18;301(5631):334-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Plant Science Institute, Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA. spoethig@sas.upenn.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12869752" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Caloric restriction has been shown to increase longevity in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. In some organisms, this has been associated with a decreased fat mass and alterations in insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) pathways. To further explore these associations with enhanced longevity, we studied mice with a fat-specific insulin receptor knockout (FIRKO). These animals have reduced fat mass and are protected against age-related obesity and its subsequent metabolic abnormalities, although their food intake is normal. Both male and female FIRKO mice were found to have an increase in mean life-span of approximately 134 days (18%), with parallel increases in median and maximum life-spans. Thus, a reduction of fat mass without caloric restriction can be associated with increased longevity in mice, possibly through effects on insulin signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bluher, Matthias -- Kahn, Barbara B -- Kahn, C Ronald -- DK 30136/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK 43051/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK 56116/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 24;299(5606):572-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Joslin Diabetes Center and Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, One Joslin Place, Boston, MA, 02215 USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12543978" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics that underlie cellular functions such as cell shape changes, migration, and polarity. We found that Smurf1, a HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase, regulated cell polarity and protrusive activity and was required to maintain the transformed morphology and motility of a tumor cell. Atypical protein kinase C zeta (PKCzeta), an effector of the Cdc42/Rac1-PAR6 polarity complex, recruited Smurf1 to cellular protrusions, where it controlled the local level of RhoA. Smurf1 thus links the polarity complex to degradation of RhoA in lamellipodia and filopodia to prevent RhoA signaling during dynamic membrane movements.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Hong-Rui -- Zhang, Yue -- Ozdamar, Barish -- Ogunjimi, Abiodun A -- Alexandrova, Evguenia -- Thomsen, Gerald H -- Wrana, Jeffrey L -- HD32429/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD032429/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD032429-06/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD032429-07/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 5;302(5651):1775-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Molecular Biology and Cancer, Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto M56 1x5, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14657501" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: During apoptosis, phosphatidylserine, which is normally restricted to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells and has been suggested to act as an "eat-me" signal to trigger phagocytosis. It is unclear how phagocytes recognize phosphatidylserine. Recently, a putative phosphatidylserine receptor (PSR) was identified and proposed to mediate recognition of phosphatidylserine and phagocytosis. We report that psr-1, the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of PSR, is important for cell corpse engulfment. In vitro PSR-1 binds preferentially phosphatidylserine or cells with exposed phosphatidylserine. In C. elegans, PSR-1 acts in the same cell corpse engulfment pathway mediated by intracellular signaling molecules CED-2 (homologous to the human CrkII protein), CED-5 (DOCK180), CED-10 (Rac GTPase), and CED-12 (ELMO), possibly through direct interaction with CED-5 and CED-12. Our findings suggest that PSR-1 is likely an upstream receptor for the signaling pathway containing CED-2, CED-5, CED-10, and CED-12 proteins and plays an important role in recognizing phosphatidylserine during phagocytosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Xiaochen -- Wu, Yi-Chun -- Fadok, Valerie A -- Lee, Ming-Chia -- Gengyo-Ando, Keiko -- Cheng, Li-Chun -- Ledwich, Duncan -- Hsu, Pei-Ken -- Chen, Jia-Yun -- Chou, Bin-Kuan -- Henson, Peter -- Mitani, Shohei -- Xue, Ding -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 28;302(5650):1563-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14645848" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In most animal species, the anteroposterior body axis is generated by the formation of repeated structures called segments. In vertebrate segmentation, a specialized mesodermal structure called the somite gives rise to skeletal muscles, vertebrae, and some dermis. Formation of the somites is a rhythmic process that involves an oscillator--the segmentation clock--driven by Wnt and Notch signaling. The clock ticks in somite precursors and halts when they reach a specific maturation stage defined as the wavefront, established by fibroblast growth factor and Wnt signaling. This process converts the temporal oscillations into the periodic spatial pattern of somite boundaries. The study of somite development provides insights into the spatiotemporal integration of signaling systems in the vertebrate embryo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pourquie, Olivier -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 18;301(5631):328-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Stowers Institute for Medical Research, 1000 East 50th Street, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA. olp@stowers-institute.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12869750" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Signaling from the DAF-2/insulin receptor to the DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor controls longevity, metabolism, and development in disparate phyla. To identify genes that mediate the conserved biological outputs of daf-2/insulin-like signaling, we used comparative genomics to identify 17 orthologous genes from Caenorhabditis and Drosophila, each of which bears a DAF-16 binding site in the promoter region. One-third of these DAF-16 downstream candidate genes were regulated by daf-2/insulin-like signaling in C. elegans, and RNA interference inactivation of the candidates showed that many of these genes mediate distinct aspects of daf-16 function, including longevity, metabolism, and development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Siu Sylvia -- Kennedy, Scott -- Tolonen, Andrew C -- Ruvkun, Gary -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 25;300(5619):644-7.

    Description: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by a CUGn expansion (n approximately 50 to 5000) in the 3' untranslated region of the mRNA of the DM protein kinase gene. We show that mutant RNA binds and sequesters transcription factors (TFs), with up to 90% depletion of selected TFs from active chromatin. Diverse genes are consequently reduced in expression, including the ion transporter CIC-1, which has been implicated in myotonia. When TF specificity protein 1 (Sp1) was overexpressed in DM1-affected cells, low levels of messenger RNA for CIC-1 were restored to normal. Transcription factor leaching from chromatin by mutant RNA provides a potentially unifying pathomechanistic explanation for this disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ebralidze, A -- Wang, Y -- Petkova, V -- Ebralidse, K -- Junghans, R P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Jan 16;303(5656):383-7.

    Description: Terminally misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are retrotranslocated to the cytoplasm and degraded by proteasomes through a mechanism known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). EDEM, a postulated Man8B-binding protein, accelerates the degradation of misfolded proteins in the ER. Here, EDEM was shown to interact with calnexin, but not with calreticulin, through its transmembrane region. Both binding of substrates to calnexin and their release from calnexin were required for ERAD to occur. Overexpression of EDEM accelerated ERAD by promoting the release of terminally misfolded proteins from calnexin. Thus, EDEM appeared to function in the ERAD pathway by accepting substrates from calnexin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Oda, Yukako -- Hosokawa, Nobuko -- Wada, Ikuo -- Nagata, Kazuhiro -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 28;299(5611):1394-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8397, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12610305" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The function of the ATR (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated- and Rad3-related)-ATRIP (ATR-interacting protein) protein kinase complex is crucial for the cellular response to replication stress and DNA damage. Here, we show that replication protein A (RPA), a protein complex that associates with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), is required for the recruitment of ATR to sites of DNA damage and for ATR-mediated Chk1 activation in human cells. In vitro, RPA stimulates the binding of ATRIP to ssDNA. The binding of ATRIP to RPA-coated ssDNA enables the ATR-ATRIP complex to associate with DNA and stimulates phosphorylation of the Rad17 protein that is bound to DNA. Furthermore, Ddc2, the budding yeast homolog of ATRIP, is specifically recruited to double-strand DNA breaks in an RPA-dependent manner. A checkpoint-deficient mutant of RPA, rfa1-t11, is defective for recruiting Ddc2 to ssDNA both in vivo and in vitro. Our data suggest that RPA-coated ssDNA is the critical structure at sites of DNA damage that recruits the ATR-ATRIP complex and facilitates its recognition of substrates for phosphorylation and the initiation of checkpoint signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zou, Lee -- Elledge, Stephen J -- GM44664/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jun 6;300(5625):1542-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Verna & Marrs McLean Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12791985" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We report the design and total chemical synthesis of "synthetic erythropoiesis protein" (SEP), a 51-kilodalton protein-polymer construct consisting of a 166-amino-acid polypeptide chain and two covalently attached, branched, and monodisperse polymer moieties that are negatively charged. The ability to control the chemistry allowed us to synthesize a macromolecule of precisely defined covalent structure. SEP was homogeneous as shown by high-resolution analytical techniques, with a mass of 50,825 +/-10 daltons by electrospray mass spectrometry, and with a pI of 5.0. In cell and animal assays for erythropoiesis, SEP displayed potent biological activity and had significantly prolonged duration of action in vivo. These chemical methods are a powerful tool in the rational design of protein constructs with potential therapeutic applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kochendoerfer, Gerd G -- Chen, Shiah-Yun -- Mao, Feng -- Cressman, Sonya -- Traviglia, Stacey -- Shao, Haiyan -- Hunter, Christie L -- Low, Donald W -- Cagle, E Neil -- Carnevali, Maia -- Gueriguian, Vincent -- Keogh, Peter J -- Porter, Heather -- Stratton, Stephen M -- Wiedeke, M Con -- Wilken, Jill -- Tang, Jie -- Levy, Jay J -- Miranda, Les P -- Crnogorac, Milan M -- Kalbag, Suresh -- Botti, Paolo -- Schindler-Horvat, Janice -- Savatski, Laura -- Adamson, John W -- Kung, Ada -- Kent, Stephen B H -- Bradburne, James A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Feb 7;299(5608):884-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Gryphon Therapeutics, 250 East Grand Avenue, Suite 90, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA.

    Description: Heparan sulfate (HS) is required for morphogen signaling during Drosophila pattern formation, but little is known about its physiological importance in mammalian development. To define the developmental role of HS in mammalian species, we conditionally disrupted the HS-polymerizing enzyme EXT1 in the embryonic mouse brain. The EXT1-null brain exhibited patterning defects that are composites of those caused by mutations of multiple HS-binding morphogens. Furthermore, the EXT1-null brain displayed severe guidance errors in major commissural tracts, revealing a pivotal role of HS in midline axon guidance. These findings demonstrate that HS is essential for mammalian brain development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Inatani, Masaru -- Irie, Fumitoshi -- Plump, Andrew S -- Tessier-Lavigne, Marc -- Yamaguchi, Yu -- P01 HD25938/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS33117/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 7;302(5647):1044-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Burnham Institute, 10901 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14605369" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Abnormally high spiking activity can damage neurons. Signaling systems to protect neurons from the consequences of abnormal discharge activity have been postulated. We generated conditional mutant mice that lack expression of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 in principal forebrain neurons but not in adjacent inhibitory interneurons. In mutant mice,the excitotoxin kainic acid (KA) induced excessive seizures in vivo. The threshold to KA-induced neuronal excitation in vitro was severely reduced in hippocampal pyramidal neurons of mutants. KA administration rapidly raised hippocampal levels of anandamide and induced protective mechanisms in wild-type principal hippocampal neurons. These protective mechanisms could not be triggered in mutant mice. The endogenous cannabinoid system thus provides on-demand protection against acute excitotoxicity in central nervous system neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marsicano, Giovanni -- Goodenough, Sharon -- Monory, Krisztina -- Hermann, Heike -- Eder, Matthias -- Cannich, Astrid -- Azad, Shahnaz C -- Cascio, Maria Grazia -- Gutierrez, Silvia Ortega -- van der Stelt, Mario -- Lopez-Rodriguez, Maria Luz -- Casanova, Emilio -- Schutz, Gunther -- Zieglgansberger, Walter -- Di Marzo, Vincenzo -- Behl, Christian -- Lutz, Beat -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 3;302(5642):84-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Genetics of Behaviour, Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry, Kraepelinstrabetae 2-10, 80804 Munich, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14526074" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A hallmark of aging is diminished regenerative potential of tissues, but the mechanism of this decline is unknown. Analysis of injured muscle revealed that, with age, resident precursor cells (satellite cells) had a markedly impaired propensity to proliferate and to produce myoblasts necessary for muscle regeneration. This was due to insufficient up-regulation of the Notch ligand Delta and, thus, diminished activation of Notch in aged, regenerating muscle. Inhibition of Notch impaired regeneration of young muscle, whereas forced activation of Notch restored regenerative potential to old muscle. Thus, Notch signaling is a key determinant of muscle regenerative potential that declines with age.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Conboy, Irina M -- Conboy, Michael J -- Smythe, Gayle M -- Rando, Thomas A -- NRSA-AG05902/NR/NINR NIH HHS/ -- R01-NS36409/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 28;302(5650):1575-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305-5235, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14645852" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A small molecule, alpha-(trichloromethyl)-4-pyridineethanol (PETCM), was identified by high-throughput screening as an activator of caspase-3 in extracts of a panel of cancer cells. PETCM was used in combination with biochemical fractionation to identify a pathway that regulates mitochondria-initiated caspase activation. This pathway consists of tumor suppressor putative HLA-DR-associated proteins (PHAP) and oncoprotein prothymosin-alpha (ProT). PHAP proteins promoted caspase-9 activation after apoptosome formation, whereas ProT negatively regulated caspase-9 activation by inhibiting apoptosome formation. PETCM relieved ProT inhibition and allowed apoptosome formation at a physiological concentration of deoxyadenosine triphosphate. Elimination of ProT expression by RNA interference sensitized cells to ultraviolet irradiation-induced apoptosis and negated the requirement of PETCM for caspase activation. Thus, this chemical-biological combinatory approach has revealed the regulatory roles of oncoprotein ProT and tumor suppressor PHAP in apoptosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jiang, Xuejun -- Kim, Hyun-Eui -- Shu, Hongjun -- Zhao, Yingming -- Zhang, Haichao -- Kofron, James -- Donnelly, Jennifer -- Burns, Dave -- Ng, Shi-Chung -- Rosenberg, Saul -- Wang, Xiaodong -- GMRO1-57158/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 10;299(5604):223-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12522243" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transcriptional regulatory circuits provide only a fraction of the signaling pathways and regulatory mechanisms that control the bacterial cell cycle. The CtrA regulatory network, important in control of the Caulobacter cell cycle, illustrates the critical role of nontranscriptional pathways and temporally and spatially localized regulatory proteins. The system architecture of Caulobacter cell-cycle control involves top-down control of modular functions by a small number of master regulatory proteins with cross-module signaling coordinating the overall process. Modeling the cell cycle probably requires a top-down modeling approach and a hybrid control system modeling paradigm to treat its combined discrete and continuous characteristics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McAdams, Harley H -- Shapiro, Lucy -- GM32506/5120 M2/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM51426/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Sep 26;301(5641):1874-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Developmental Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, B300 Beckman Center, Stanford, CA 94305, USA. hmcadams@stanford.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14512618" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) complex is required for transcript elongation through nucleosomes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in vitro. Here, we show that FACT facilitates Pol II-driven transcription by destabilizing nucleosomal structure so that one histone H2A-H2B dimer is removed during enzyme passage. We also demonstrate that FACT possesses intrinsic histone chaperone activity and can deposit core histones onto DNA. Importantly, FACT activity requires both of its constituent subunits and is dependent on the highly acidic C terminus of its larger subunit, Spt16. These findings define the mechanism by which Pol II can transcribe through chromatin without disrupting its epigenetic status.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Belotserkovskaya, Rimma -- Oh, Sangtaek -- Bondarenko, Vladimir A -- Orphanides, George -- Studitsky, Vasily M -- Reinberg, Danny -- GM37120/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM58650/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 22;301(5636):1090-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biochemistry, Division of Nucleic Acids Enzymology, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12934006" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
