    Modulation of DNA binding specificity by alternative splicing of the Wilms tumor wt1 gene transcript (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-07-10
    Description: The technique of whole-genome polymerase chain reaction was used to study the DNA binding properties of the product of the wt1 gene. The zinc finger region of this gene is alternatively spliced such that the major transcript encodes a protein with three extra amino acids between the third and fourth fingers. The minor form of the protein binds specifically to DNA. It is now shown that the major form of wt1 messenger RNA encodes a protein that binds to DNA with a specificity that differs from that of the minor form. Therefore, alternative splicing within the DNA binding domain of a transcription factor can generate proteins with distinct DNA binding specificities and probably different physiological targets.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bickmore, W A -- Oghene, K -- Little, M H -- Seawright, A -- van Heyningen, V -- Hastie, N D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 10;257(5067):235-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Research Council Human Genetics Unit, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, Scotland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1321494" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Reductase activity encoded by the HM1 disease resistance gene in maize (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-11-06
    Description: The HM1 gene in maize controls both race-specific resistance to the fungus Cochliobolus carbonum race 1 and expression of the NADPH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)-dependent HC toxin reductase (HCTR), which inactivates HC toxin, a cyclic tetrapeptide produced by the fungus to permit infection. Several HM1 alleles were generated and cloned by transposon-induced mutagenesis. The sequence of wild-type HM1 shares homology with dihydroflavonol-4-reductase genes from maize, petunia, and snap-dragon. Sequence homology is greatest in the beta alpha beta-dinucleotide binding fold that is conserved among NADPH- and NADH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)-dependent reductases and dehydrogenases. This indicates that HM1 encodes HCTR.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johal, G S -- Briggs, S P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 6;258(5084):985-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biotechnology Research, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., Johnston, IA 50131.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1359642" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Molecular epidemiology of HIV transmission in a dental practice (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-22
    Description: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission from infected patients to health-care workers has been well documented, but transmission from an infected health-care worker to a patient has not been reported. After identification of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient who had no known risk factors for HIV infection but who had undergone an invasive procedure performed by a dentist with AIDS, six other patients of this dentist were found to be HIV-infected. Molecular biologic studies were conducted to complement the epidemiologic investigation. Portions of the HIV proviral envelope gene from each of the seven patients, the dentist, and 35 HIV-infected persons from the local geographic area were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. Three separate comparative genetic analyses--genetic distance measurements, phylogenetic tree analysis, and amino acid signature pattern analysis--showed that the viruses from the dentist and five dental patients were closely related. These data, together with the epidemiologic investigation, indicated that these patients became infected with HIV while receiving care from a dentist with AIDS.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ou, C Y -- Ciesielski, C A -- Myers, G -- Bandea, C I -- Luo, C C -- Korber, B T -- Mullins, J I -- Schochetman, G -- Berkelman, R L -- Economou, A N -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 22;256(5060):1165-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of HIV/AIDS, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA 30333.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1589796" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Syntaxin: a synaptic protein implicated in docking of synaptic vesicles at presynaptic active zones (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-07-10
    Description: Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters that are released during calcium-regulated exocytosis. The specificity of neurotransmitter release requires the localization of both synaptic vesicles and calcium channels to the presynaptic active zone. Two 35-kilodalton proteins (p35 or syntaxins) were identified that interact with the synaptic vesicle protein p65 (synaptotagmin). The p35 proteins are expressed only in the nervous system, are 84 percent identical, include carboxyl-terminal membrane anchors, and are concentrated on the plasma membrane at synaptic sites. An antibody to p35 immunoprecipitated solubilized N-type calcium channels. The p35 proteins may function in docking synaptic vesicles near calcium channels at presynaptic active zones.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bennett, M K -- Calakos, N -- Scheller, R H -- 2T32G07365/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 10;257(5067):255-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University Medical Center, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1321498" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Requirement for the adenovirus type 9 E4 region in production of mammary tumors (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-09-07
    Description: Oncogenic viruses demonstrating a strict tropism for the mammary gland provide special opportunities to study the susceptibility of this tissue to neoplasia. In rats, human adenovirus type 9 (Ad9) elicits mammary fibroadenomas that are similar to common breast tumors in women, as well as phyllodes-like tumors and mammary sarcomas. By constructing recombinant adenoviruses between Ad9 and Ad26 (a related nontumorigenic virus), it was shown that the Ad9 E4 region was absolutely required to produce these mammary tumors. This indicates that an adenovirus gene located outside the classic transforming region (E1) can significantly influence the in vivo oncogenicity of an adenovirus. Consistent with a direct role in mammary gland oncogenesis, the Ad9 E4 region also exhibited transforming properties in vitro. Therefore, the Ad9 E4 region is a viral oncogene specifically involved in mammary gland tumorigenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Javier, R -- Raska, K Jr -- Shenk, T -- CA 21196/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 41086/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA09528/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 28;257(5074):1267-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, NJ 08544.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1519063" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Son of sevenless (Sos) gene functions in signaling pathways initiated by the sevenless and epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. The Sos gene has now been isolated and sequenced. Its product is a 1595-amino acid protein similar to the CDC25 protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activates Ras. These results imply a role for the ras pathway in Drosophila neuronal development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bonfini, L -- Karlovich, C A -- Dasgupta, C -- Banerjee, U -- 1 R01 EY08152-01A1/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- GM-07104/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR6461/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 31;255(5044):603-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of California, Los Angeles 90024.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1736363" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of ras oncogene mutations in the stool of patients with curable colorectal tumors (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-03
    Description: Colorectal (CR) tumors are usually curable if detected before metastasis. Because genetic alterations are associated with the development of these tumors, mutant genes may be found in the stool of individuals with CR neoplasms. The stools of nine patients whose tumors contained mutations of K-ras were analyzed. In eight of the nine cases, the ras mutations were detectable in DNA purified from the stool. These patients included those with benign and malignant neoplasms from proximal and distal colonic epithelium. Thus, colorectal tumors can be detected by a noninvasive method based on the molecular pathogenesis of the disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sidransky, D -- Tokino, T -- Hamilton, S R -- Kinzler, K W -- Levin, B -- Frost, P -- Vogelstein, B -- CA06973/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA35494/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 3;256(5053):102-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21231.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1566048" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

A 2.65-kilobase complementary DNA conferred ability to grow on media with K+ concentration in the micromolar range and to absorb K+ (or 86Rb+) at rates similar to those in wild-type yeast. The predicted amino acid sequence (838 amino acids) has three domains: a channel-forming region homologous to animal K+ channels, a cyclic nucleotide-binding site, and an ankyrin-like region.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sentenac, H -- Bonneaud, N -- Minet, M -- Lacroute, F -- Salmon, J M -- Gaymard, F -- Grignon, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 1;256(5057):663-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biochimie et Physiologie Vegetales, ENSA-M/INRA/CNRS URA 573, Montpellier, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1585180" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequence discrimination by alternatively spliced isoforms of a DNA binding zinc finger domain (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-09-25
    Description: Two major developmentally regulated isoforms of the Drosophila chorion transcription factor CF2 differ by an extra zinc finger within the DNA binding domain. The preferred DNA binding sites were determined and are distinguished by an internal duplication of TAT in the site recognized by the isoform with the extra finger. The results are consistent with modular interactions between zinc fingers and trinucleotides and also suggest rules for recognition of AT-rich DNA sites by zinc finger proteins. The results show how modular finger interactions with trinucleotides can be used, in conjunction with alternative splicing, to alter the binding specificity and increase the spectrum of sites recognized by a DNA binding domain. Thus, CF2 may potentially regulate distinct sets of target genes during development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gogos, J A -- Hsu, T -- Bolton, J -- Kafatos, F C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 25;257(5078):1951-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cellular and Developmental Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1290524" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Acetylcholine receptor channel structure probed in cysteine-substitution mutants (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-10-09
    Description: In order to understand the structural bases of ion conduction, ion selectivity, and gating in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, mutagenesis and covalent modification were combined to identify the amino acid residues that line the channel. The side chains of alternate residues--Ser248, Leu250, Ser252, and Thr254--in M2, a membrane-spanning segment of the alpha subunit, are exposed in the closed channel. Thus alpha 248-254 probably forms a beta strand, and the gate is closer to the cytoplasmic end of the channel than any of these residues. On channel opening, Leu251 is also exposed. These results lead to a revised view of the closed and open channel structures.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Akabas, M H -- Stauffer, D A -- Xu, M -- Karlin, A -- NS07065/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS07258/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Oct 9;258(5080):307-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1384130" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Targeted degradation of c-Fos, but not v-Fos, by a phosphorylation-dependent signal on c-Jun (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-12-18
    Description: The proto-oncogene products c-Fos and c-Jun heterodimerize through their leucine zippers to form the AP-1 transcription factor. The transcriptional activity of the heterodimer is regulated by signal-dependent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events. The stability of c-Fos was found to also be controlled by intracellular signal transduction. In transient expression and in vitro degradation experiments, the stability of c-Fos was decreased when the protein was dimerized with phosphorylated c-Jun. c-Jun protein isolated from phorbol ester-induced cells did not target c-Fos for degradation, which suggests that c-Fos is transiently stabilized after stimulation of cell growth. v-Fos protein, the retroviral counterpart of c-Fos, was not susceptible to degradation targeted by c-Jun.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Papavassiliou, A G -- Treier, M -- Chavrier, C -- Bohmann, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 18;258(5090):1941-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Differentiation Program, Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1470918" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Selective transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 variants from mothers to infants (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-28
    Description: Multiple human immunodeficiency virus type-1 sequences from the V3 and V4-V5 regions of the envelope gene were analyzed from three mother-infant pairs. The infants' viral sequences were less diverse than those of their mothers. In two pairs, a proviral form infrequently found in the mother predominated in her infant. A conserved N-linked glycosylation site within the V3 region, present in each mother's sequence set, was absent in all of the infants' sequence sets. These findings demonstrate that a minor subset of maternal virus is transmitted to the infant.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wolinsky, S M -- Wike, C M -- Korber, B T -- Hutto, C -- Parks, W P -- Rosenblum, L L -- Kunstman, K J -- Furtado, M R -- Munoz, J L -- AI-32535/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HD26619-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P01-25569/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 28;255(5048):1134-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, IL 60611.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546316" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Predicted structural similarities of the DNA binding domains of c-Myc and endonuclease Eco RI (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-24
    Description: The c-Myc oncoprotein belongs to a family of proteins whose DNA binding domains contain a basic region-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) motif. Systematic mutagenesis of c-Myc revealed that dimerized bHLH motifs formed a parallel four-helix bundle with the amino termini of helices 1 and 2 directed toward the inner and outer nucleotides of the DNA binding site, respectively. Both the basic region and the carboxyl-terminal end of the loop contributed to DNA binding specificity. The DNA binding domain of c-Myc may therefore be structurally similar to that of restriction endonuclease Eco RI.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Halazonetis, T D -- Kandil, A N -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 24;255(5043):464-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cancer Research, Merck Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories, West Point, PA 19486.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1734524" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Body-wall muscle formation in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos that lack the MyoD homolog hlh-1 (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-10
    Description: The myoD family of DNA binding proteins has been implicated in the control of myogenesis in a variety of organisms. Searches for homologs in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans yielded only one gene, designated hlh-1, expressed in body-wall muscle cells and their precursors. To assess the role of hlh-1 in C. elegans myogenesis, genetic deficiencies spanning the hlh-1 locus were isolated after gamma irradiation. Embryos homozygous for these deficiencies exhibited extensive body-wall muscle differentiation, including expression of several characteristic myofilament proteins and weak contracile behavior. Thus, zygotic hlh-1 expression was not required for body-wall muscle precursors to adopt muscle cell fates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, L -- Krause, M -- Draper, B -- Weintraub, H -- Fire, A -- R01 GM037706/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 10;256(5054):240-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore, MD 21210.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1314423" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The yeast transcription factor IIA (TFIIA), a component of the basal transcription machinery of RNA polymerase II and implicated in vitro in regulation of basal transcription, is composed of two subunits of 32 and 13.5 kilodaltons. The genes that encode these subunits, termed TOA1 and TOA2, respectively, were cloned. Neither gene shares obvious sequence similarity with the other or with any other previously identified genes. The recombinant factor bound to a TATA binding protein-DNA complex and complemented yeast and mammalian in vitro transcription systems depleted of TFIIA. Both the TOA1 and TOA2 genes are essential for growth of yeast.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ranish, J A -- Lane, W S -- Hahn, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 28;255(5048):1127-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546313" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cytoplasmic domain heterogeneity and functions of IgG Fc receptors in B lymphocytes (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-06-26
    Description: B lymphocytes and macrophages express closely related immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptors (Fc gamma RII) that differ only in the structures of their cytoplasmic domains. Because of cell type-specific alternative messenger RNA splicing, B-cell Fc gamma RII contains an insertion of 47 amino acids that participates in determining receptor function in these cells. Transfection of an Fc gamma RII-negative B-cell line with complementary DNA's encoding the two splice products and various receptor mutants indicated that the insertion was responsible for preventing both Fc gamma RII-mediated endocytosis and Fc gamma RII-mediated antigen presentation. The insertion was not required for Fc gamma RII to modulate surface immunoglobulin-triggered B-cell activation. Instead, regulation of activation involved a region of the cytoplasmic domain common to both the lymphocyte and macrophage receptor isoforms. In contrast, the insertion did contribute to the formation of caps in response to receptor cross-linking, consistent with suggestions that the lymphocyte but not macrophage form of the receptor can associate with the detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Amigorena, S -- Bonnerot, C -- Drake, J R -- Choquet, D -- Hunziker, W -- Guillet, J G -- Webster, P -- Sautes, C -- Mellman, I -- Fridman, W H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jun 26;256(5065):1808-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire d'Immunologie Cellulaire et Clinique, INSERM U 255, Institut Curie, Paris, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1535455" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of a protein that binds to the SH3 region of Abl and is similar to Bcr and GAP-rho (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-07
    Description: A Src homology 3 (SH3) region is a sequence of approximately 50 amino acids found in many nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and other proteins. Deletion of the SH3 region from the protein encoded by the c-abl proto-oncogene activates the protein's transforming capacity, thereby suggesting the participation of the SH3 region in the negative regulation of transformation. A complementary DNA was isolated that encoded a protein, 3BP-1, to which the SH3 region of Abl bound with high specificity and to which SH3 regions from other proteins bound differentially. The sequence of the 3BP-1 protein is similar to that of a COOH-terminal segment of Bcr and to guanosine triphosphatase-activating protein (GAP)-rho, which suggests that it might have GAP activity for Ras-related proteins. The 3BP-1 protein may therefore be a mediator of SH3 function in transformation inhibition and may link tyrosine kinases to Ras-related proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cicchetti, P -- Mayer, B J -- Thiel, G -- Baltimore, D -- A107233/PHS HHS/ -- CA 08875/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA51462/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 7;257(5071):803-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1379745" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Converting trypsin to chymotrypsin: the role of surface loops (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-03-06
    Description: Trypsin (Tr) and chymotrypsin (Ch) have similar tertiary structures, yet Tr cleaves peptides at arginine and lysine residues and Ch prefers large hydrophobic residues. Although replacement of the S1 binding site of Tr with the analogous residues of Ch is sufficient to transfer Ch specificity for ester hydrolysis, specificity for amide hydrolysis is not transferred. Trypsin is converted to a Ch-like protease when the binding pocket alterations are further modified by exchange of the Ch surface loops 185 through 188 and 221 through 225 for the analogous Tr loops. These loops are not structural components of either the S1 binding site or the extended substrate binding sites. This mutant enzyme is equivalent to Ch in its catalytic rate, but its substrate binding is impaired. Like Ch, this mutant utilizes extended substrate binding to accelerate catalysis, and substrate discrimination occurs during the acylation step rather than in substrate binding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hedstrom, L -- Szilagyi, L -- Rutter, W J -- DK21344/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Mar 6;255(5049):1249-53.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Hormone Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0534.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546324" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) mediates a wide range of immune and inflammatory responses. The active cytokine is generated by proteolytic cleavage of an inactive precursor. A complementary DNA encoding a protease that carries out this cleavage has been cloned. Recombinant expression in COS-7 cells enabled the cells to process precursor IL-1 beta to the mature form.

    Cloning of a subunit of yeast RNA polymerase II transcription factor b and CTD kinase (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-09-04
    Description: Yeast RNA polymerase II initiation factor b copurifies with three polypeptides of 85, 73, and 50 kilodaltons and with a protein kinase that phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of the largest polymerase subunit. The gene that encodes the 73-kilodalton polypeptide, designated TFB1, was cloned and found to be essential for cell growth. The deduced protein sequence exhibits no similarity to those of protein kinases. However, the sequence is similar to that of the 62-kilodalton subunit of the HeLa transcription factor BFT2, suggesting that this factor is the human counterpart of yeast factor b. Immunoprecipitation experiments using antibodies to the TFB1 gene product demonstrate that the transcriptional and CTD kinase activities of factor b are closely associated with an oligomer of the three polypeptides. Photoaffinity labeling with 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP (adenosine triphosphate) identified an ATP-binding site in the 85-kilodalton polypeptide, suggesting that the 85-kilodalton subunit contains the catalytic domain of the kinase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gileadi, O -- Feaver, W J -- Kornberg, R D -- GM-36659/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 4;257(5075):1389-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Sherman Fairchild Center, Stanford University Medical School, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1445600" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A proteinaceous elicitor of the plant defense reaction known as the hypersensitive response was isolated from Erwinia amylovora, the bacterium that causes fire blight of pear, apple, and other rosaceous plants. The elicitor, named harpin, is an acidic, heat-stable, cell-envelope-associated protein with an apparent molecular weight of 44 kilodaltons. Harpin caused tobacco leaf lamina to collapse and caused an increase in the pH of bathing solutions of suspension-cultured tobacco cells. The gene encoding harpin (hrpN) was located in the 40-kilobase hrp gene cluster of E. amylovora, sequenced, and mutated with Tn5tac1. The hrpN mutants were not pathogenic to pear, did not elicit the hypersensitive response, and did not produce harpin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wei, Z M -- Laby, R J -- Zumoff, C H -- Bauer, D W -- He, S Y -- Collmer, A -- Beer, S V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 3;257(5066):85-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1621099" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Human and Drosophila homeodomain proteins that enhance the DNA-binding activity of serum response factor (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-21
    Description: Cells with distinct developmental histories can respond differentially to identical signals, suggesting that signals are interpreted in a fashion that reflects a cell's identity. How this might occur is suggested by the observation that proteins of the homeodomain family, including a newly identified human protein, enhance the DNA-binding activity of serum response factor, a protein required for the induction of genes by growth and differentiation factors. Interaction with proteins of the serum response factor family may allow homeodomain proteins to specify the transcriptional response to inductive signals. Moreover, because the ability to enhance the binding of serum response factor to DNA residues within the homeodomain but is independent of homeodomain DNA-binding activity, this additional activity of the homeodomain may account for some of specificity of action of homeodomain proteins in development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grueneberg, D A -- Natesan, S -- Alexandre, C -- Gilman, M Z -- CA08968/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA45642/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 21;257(5073):1089-95.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY 11724.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1509260" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure and functional expression of an omega-conotoxin-sensitive human N-type calcium channel (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-07-17
    Description: N-type calcium channels are omega-conotoxin (omega-CgTx)-sensitive, voltage-dependent ion channels involved in the control of neurotransmitter release from neurons. Multiple subtypes of voltage-dependent calcium channel complexes exist, and it is the alpha 1 subunit of the complex that forms the pore through which calcium enters the cell. The primary structures of human neuronal calcium channel alpha 1B subunits were deduced by the characterization of overlapping complementary DNAs. Two forms (alpha 1B-1 and alpha 1B-2) were identified in human neuroblastoma (IMR32) cells and in the central nervous system, but not in skeletal muscle or aorta tissues. The alpha 1B-1 subunit directs the recombinant expression of N-type calcium channel activity when it is transiently co-expressed with human neuronal beta 2 and alpha 2b subunits in mammalian HEK293 cells. The recombinant channel was irreversibly blocked by omega-CgTx but was insensitive to dihydropyridines. The alpha 1B-1 alpha 2b beta 2-transfected cells displayed a single class of saturable, high-affinity (dissociation constant = 55 pM) omega-CgTx binding sites. Co-expression of the beta 2 subunit was necessary for N-type channel activity, whereas the alpha 2b subunit appeared to modulate the expression of the channel. The heterogeneity of alpha 1B subunits, along with the heterogeneity of alpha 2 and beta subunits, is consistent with multiple, biophysically distinct N-type calcium channels.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Williams, M E -- Brust, P F -- Feldman, D H -- Patthi, S -- Simerson, S -- Maroufi, A -- McCue, A F -- Velicelebi, G -- Ellis, S B -- Harpold, M M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 17;257(5068):389-95.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉SIBIA, Inc., La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1321501" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A histone, macroH2A, nearly three times the size of conventional H2A histone, was found in rat liver nucleosomes. Its N-terminal third is 64 percent identical to a full-length mouse H2A. However, it also contains a large nonhistone region. This region has a segment that resembles a leucine zipper, a structure known to be involved in dimerization of some transcription factors. Nucleosomes containing macroH2A may have novel functions, possibly involving interactions with other nuclear proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pehrson, J R -- Fried, V A -- CA 06927/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM 24019/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR 05539/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 4;257(5075):1398-400.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Fox Chase Cancer Center, Institute for Cancer Research, Philadelphia, PA 19111.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1529340" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Response of a protein structure to cavity-creating mutations and its relation to the hydrophobic effect (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-10
    Description: Six "cavity-creating" mutants, Leu46----Ala (L46A), L99A, L118A, L121A, L133A, and Phe153----Ala (F153A), were constructed within the hydrophobic core of phage T4 lysozyme. The substitutions decreased the stability of the protein at pH 3.0 by different amounts, ranging from 2.7 kilocalories per mole (kcal mol-1) for L46A and L121A to 5.0 kcal mol-1 for L99A. The double mutant L99A/F153A was also constructed and decreased in stability by 8.3 kcal mol-1. The x-ray structures of all of the variants were determined at high resolution. In every case, removal of the wild-type side chain allowed some of the surrounding atoms to move toward the vacated space but a cavity always remained, which ranged in volume from 24 cubic angstroms (A3) for L46A to 150 A3 for L99A. No solvent molecules were observed in any of these cavities. The destabilization of the mutant Leu----Ala proteins relative to wild type can be approximated by a constant term (approximately 2.0 kcal mol-1) plus a term that increases in proportion to the size of the cavity. The constant term is approximately equal to the transfer free energy of leucine relative to alanine as determined from partitioning between aqueous and organic solvents. The energy term that increases with the size of the cavity can be expressed either in terms of the cavity volume (24 to 33 cal mol-1 A-3) or in terms of the cavity surface area (20 cal mol-1 A-2). The results suggest how to reconcile a number of conflicting reports concerning the strength of the hydrophobic effect in proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Eriksson, A E -- Baase, W A -- Zhang, X J -- Heinz, D W -- Blaber, M -- Baldwin, E P -- Matthews, B W -- GM12989/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM13709/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM21967/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 10;255(5041):178-83.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Molecular Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Eugene, OR.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1553543" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An amino acid mutation in a potassium channel that prevents inhibition by protein kinase C (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-03-27
    Description: A slowly activating, voltage-dependent potassium channel protein cloned from rat kidney was expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Two activators of protein kinase C, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-rac-glycerol and phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, inhibited the current. This inhibition was blocked by the kinase inhibitor staurosporine. Inhibition of the current was not seen in channels in which Ser103 was replaced by Ala, although other properties of the current were unchanged. These results indicate that inhibition of the potassium current results from direct phosphorylation of the channel subunit protein at Ser103.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Busch, A E -- Varnum, M D -- North, R A -- Adelman, J P -- DA03160/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- NS28504/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Mar 27;255(5052):1705-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Vollum Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland 97201.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1553557" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An unlikely sugar substrate site in the 1.65 A structure of the human aldose reductase holoenzyme implicated in diabetic complications (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-07-03
    Description: Aldose reductase, which catalyzes the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reduction of a wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds, is implicated in the development of diabetic and galactosemic complications involving the lens, retina, nerves, and kidney. A 1.65 angstrom refined structure of a recombinant human placenta aldose reductase reveals that the enzyme contains a parallel beta 8/alpha 8-barrel motif and establishes a new motif for NADP-binding oxidoreductases. The substrate-binding site is located in a large, deep elliptical pocket at the COOH-terminal end of the beta barrel with a bound NADPH in an extended conformation. The highly hydrophobic nature of the active site pocket greatly favors aromatic and apolar substrates over highly polar monosaccharides. The structure should allow for the rational design of specific inhibitors that might provide molecular understanding of the catalytic mechanism, as well as possible therapeutic agents.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilson, D K -- Bohren, K M -- Gabbay, K H -- Quiocho, F A -- DK-39,044/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 3;257(5066):81-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1621098" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A number of unnatural amino acids and amino acid analogs with modified backbone structures were substituted for alanine-82 in T4 lysozyme. Replacements included alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acids, N-alkyl amino acids, and lactic acid, an isoelectronic analog of alanine. The effects of these electronic and structural perturbations on the stability of T4 lysozyme were determined. The relatively broad substrate specificity of the Escherichia coli protein biosynthetic machinery suggests that a wide range of backbone and side-chain substitutions can be introduced, allowing a more precise definition of the factors affecting protein stability.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ellman, J A -- Mendel, D -- Schultz, P G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 10;255(5041):197-200.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1553546" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Steroid-thyroid hormone receptors typically bind as dimers to DNA sequences that contain repeated elements termed half-sites. NGFI-B, an early response protein and orphan member of this receptor superfamily, binds to a DNA sequence that contains only one half-site (5'-AAAGGTCA-3'). A domain separate from the NGFI-B zinc fingers, termed the A box, was identified and is required for recognition of the two adenine-thymidine (A-T) base pairs at the 5' end of the NGFI-B DNA binding element. In addition, a domain downstream of the zinc fingers of the orphan receptor H-2 region II binding protein, termed the T box, determined binding to tandem repeats of the estrogen receptor half-site (5'-AGGTCA-3').〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wilson, T E -- Paulsen, R E -- Padgett, K A -- Milbrandt, J -- NS01018/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA49712/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 3;256(5053):107-10.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1314418" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Crystal structure of a complex between electron transfer partners, cytochrome c peroxidase and cytochrome c (1992)

    Publication Date: 1992-12-11
    Description: The crystal structure of a 1:1 complex between yeast cytochrome c peroxidase and yeast iso-1-cytochrome c was determined at 2.3 A resolution. This structure reveals a possible electron transfer pathway unlike any previously proposed for this extensively studied redox pair. The shortest straight line between the two hemes closely follows the peroxidase backbone chain of residues Ala194, Ala193, Gly192, and finally Trp191, the indole ring of which is perpendicular to, and in van der Waals contact with, the peroxidase heme. The crystal structure at 2.8 A of a complex between yeast cytochrome c peroxidase and horse heart cytochrome c was also determined. Although crystals of the two complexes (one with cytochrome c from yeast and the other with cytochrome c from horse) grew under very different conditions and belong to different space groups, the two complex structures are closely similar, suggesting that cytochrome c interacts with its redox partners in a highly specific manner.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pelletier, H -- Kraut, J -- DK07233/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 11;258(5089):1748-55.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0317.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1334573" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The T cell receptor (TCR) zeta chain was attached to the TCR alpha and beta extracellular domains to induce efficient expression of alpha beta heterodimers that can recognize complexes of antigen with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Chimeric constructs expressed in RBL-2H3 cells were efficiently transported to the cell surface uniquely as disulfide-linked heterodimers. Transfectants were activated by specific antigen-MHC complexes, which demonstrated that the expressed alpha beta was functional and that CD3 was not required for antigen-MHC binding. Constructs with thrombin cleavage sites were efficiently cleaved to soluble disulfide-linked heterodimers. Thus, attachment of TCR zeta domains and protease cleavage sites to TCR alpha and beta induces expression of demonstrably functional heterodimers that can be solubilized.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Engel, I -- Ottenhoff, T H -- Klausner, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 29;256(5061):1318-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1598575" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-11-06
    Description: A 9.5-kilobase plasmid of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is required for high virulence when mice are inoculated with the bacterium by subcutaneous injection. Inactivation of the plasmid gene pla, which encodes a surface protease, increased the median lethal dose of the bacteria for mice by a millionfold. Moreover, cloned pla was sufficient to restore segregants lacking the entire pla-bearing plasmid to full virulence. Both pla+ strains injected subcutaneously and pla- mutants injected intravenously reached high titers in liver and spleen of infected mice, whereas pla- mutants injected subcutaneously failed to do so even though they establish a sustained local infection at the injection site. More inflammatory cells accumulated in lesions caused by the pla- mutants than in lesions produced by the pla+ parent. The Pla protease was shown to be a plasminogen activator with unusual kinetic properties. It can also cleave complement C3 at a specific site.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sodeinde, O A -- Subrahmanyam, Y V -- Stark, K -- Quan, T -- Bao, Y -- Goguen, J D -- AI22176/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 6;258(5084):1004-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester 01655.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1439793" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Transcription factor IID mutants defective for interaction with transcription factor IIA (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-28
    Description: Transcription factor IID (TFIID) recognizes the TATA element of promoters transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and serves as the base for subsequent association by other general transcription factors and RNAPII. The carboxyl-terminal domain of TFIID is highly conserved and contains an imperfect repetition of a 60-amino acid sequence. These repeats are separated by a region rich in basic amino acids. Mutagenesis of the lysines in this region resulted in a conditioned phenotype in vivo, and the mutant proteins were defective for interactions with transcription factor IIA in vitro. Binding of TFIID to DNA was unaffected. These results suggest that the basic domain of TFIID is important for protein-protein interactions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Buratowski, S -- Zhou, H -- R29-GM46498/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 28;255(5048):1130-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546314" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor forms a cation-selective channel with a high calcium permeability and sensitivity to channel block by extracellular magnesium. These properties, which are believed to be important for the induction of long-term changes in synaptic strength, are imparted by asparagine residues in a putative channel-forming segment of the protein, transmembrane 2 (TM2). In the NR1 subunit, replacement of this asparagine by a glutamine residue decreases calcium permeability of the channel and slightly reduces magnesium block. The same substitution in NR2 subunits strongly reduces magnesium block and increases the magnesium permeability but barely affects calcium permeability. These asparagines are in a position homologous to the site in the TM2 region (Q/R site) of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors that is occupied by either glutamine (Q) or arginine (R) and that controls divalent cation permeability of the AMPA receptor channel. Hence AMPA and NMDA receptor channels contain common structural motifs in their TM2 segments that are responsible for some of their ion selectivity and conductance properties.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Burnashev, N -- Schoepfer, R -- Monyer, H -- Ruppersberg, J P -- Gunther, W -- Seeburg, P H -- Sakmann, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 4;257(5075):1415-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Abteilung Zellphysiologie, Max-Planck-Institut fur Medizinische Forschung, Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1382314" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Tyrosyl phosphorylation and activation of MAP kinases by p56lck (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-14
    Description: T cell signaling via the CD4 surface antigen is mediated by the associated tyrosyl protein kinase p56lck. The 42-kilodalton mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (p42mapk) was tyrosyl-phosphorylated and activated after treatment of the murine T lymphoma cell line 171CD4+, which expresses CD4, with antibody to CD3. Treatment of the CD4-deficient cell line 171 with the same antibody did not result in phosphorylation or activation of p42mapk. Purified p56lck both tyrosyl-phosphorylated and stimulated the seryl-threonyl phosphotransferase activity of purified p44mpk, a MAP kinase isoform from sea star oocytes. A synthetic peptide modeled after the putative regulatory phosphorylation site in murine p42mapk (Tyr185) was phosphorylated by p56lck with a similar Vmax, but a fivefold lower Michaelis constant (Km) than a peptide containing the Tyr394 autophosphorylation site from p56lck. MAP kinases may participate in protein kinase cascades that link Src family protein-tyrosyl kinases to seryl-threonyl kinases such as those encoded by rsk and raf, which are putative substrates of MAP kinases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ettehadieh, E -- Sanghera, J S -- Pelech, S L -- Hess-Bienz, D -- Watts, J -- Shastri, N -- Aebersold, R -- R126604/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 14;255(5046):853-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biomedical Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1311128" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-12-28
    Description: Opiate drugs have potent analgesic and addictive properties. These drugs interact with receptors that also mediate the response to endogenous opioid peptide ligands. However, the receptors for opioids have eluded definitive molecular characterization. By transient expression in COS cells and screening with an iodinated analog of the opioid peptide enkephalin, a complementary DNA clone encoding a functional delta opioid receptor has been identified. The sequence shows homology to G protein-coupled receptors, in particular the receptors for somatostatin, angiotensin, and interleukin-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Evans, C J -- Keith, D E Jr -- Morrison, H -- Magendzo, K -- Edwards, R H -- DA05010/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- P50 DA005010/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 18;258(5090):1952-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychiatry, University of California, School of Medicine, Los Angeles 90024-1759.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1335167" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Interaction of p107 with cyclin A independent of complex formation with viral oncoproteins (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-03
    Description: The p107 protein and the retinoblastoma protein (RB) both bind specifically to two viral oncoproteins, the SV40 T antigen (T) and adenoviral protein E1A (E1A). Like RB, p107 contains a segment (the pocket) that, alone, can bind specifically to T, E1A, and multiple cellular proteins. Cyclin A bound to the p107 pocket, but not the RB pocket. Although both pockets contain two, related collinear subsegments (A and B), the unique sequence in the p107 pocket that occupies the space between A and B is required for the interaction with cyclin A.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ewen, M E -- Faha, B -- Harlow, E -- Livingston, D M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 3;255(5040):85-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1532457" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cloning and characterization of inducible nitric oxide synthase from mouse macrophages (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-10
    Description: Nitric oxide (NO) conveys a variety of messages between cells, including signals for vasorelaxation, neurotransmission, and cytotoxicity. In some endothelial cells and neurons, a constitutive NO synthase is activated transiently by agonists that elevate intracellular calcium concentrations and promote the binding of calmodulin. In contrast, in macrophages, NO synthase activity appears slowly after exposure of the cells to cytokines and bacterial products, is sustained, and functions independently of calcium and calmodulin. A monospecific antibody was used to clone complementary DNA that encoded two isoforms of NO synthase from immunologically activated mouse macrophages. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to confirm most of the amino acid sequence. Macrophage NO synthase differs extensively from cerebellar NO synthase. The macrophage enzyme is immunologically induced at the transcriptional level and closely resembles the enzyme in cytokine-treated tumor cells and inflammatory neutrophils.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xie, Q W -- Cho, H J -- Calaycay, J -- Mumford, R A -- Swiderek, K M -- Lee, T D -- Ding, A -- Troso, T -- Nathan, C -- AI30165/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA43610/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 10;256(5054):225-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Beatrice and Samuel A.

    Role of beta gamma subunits of G proteins in targeting the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase to membrane-bound receptors (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-28
    Description: The rate and extent of the agonist-dependent phosphorylation of beta 2-adrenergic receptors and rhodopsin by beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) are markedly enhanced on addition of G protein beta gamma subunits. With a model peptide substrate it was demonstrated that direct activation of the kinase could not account for this effect. G protein beta gamma subunits were shown to interact directly with the COOH-terminal region of beta ARK, and formation of this beta ARK-beta gamma complex resulted in receptor-facilitated membrane localization of the enzyme. The beta gamma subunits of transducin were less effective at both enhancing the rate of receptor phosphorylation and binding to the COOH-terminus of beta ARK, suggesting that the enzyme preferentially binds specific beta gamma complexes. The beta gamma-mediated membrane localization of beta ARK serves to intimately link receptor activation to beta ARK-mediated desensitization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pitcher, J A -- Inglese, J -- Higgins, J B -- Arriza, J L -- Casey, P J -- Kim, C -- Benovic, J L -- Kwatra, M M -- Caron, M G -- Lefkowitz, R J -- 4R37-HL16039/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- GM 44944/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 28;257(5074):1264-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1325672" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Interaction between human cyclin A and adenovirus E1A-associated p107 protein (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-03
    Description: The products of the adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) gene are potent oncoproteins when tested in standard transformation and immortalization assays. Many of the changes induced by E1A may be due to its interaction with cellular proteins. Four of these cellular proteins are the retinoblastoma protein (pRB), p107, cyclin A, and p33cdk2. The pRB and p107 proteins are structurally related and have several characteristics in common, including that they both bind to the SV40 large T oncoprotein as well as to E1A. Cyclin A and p33cdk2 are thought to function in the control of the cell cycle. They bind to one another, forming a kinase that closely resembles the cell cycle-regulating complexes containing p34cdc2. Cyclin A is now shown to bind to p107 in the absence of E1A. The association of p107 with cyclin A suggests a direct link between cell cycle control and the function of p107.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Faha, B -- Ewen, M E -- Tsai, L H -- Livingston, D M -- Harlow, E -- CA 13106/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 55339/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 3;255(5040):87-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Charlestown 02129.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1532458" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-07-31
    Description: A genetic method, the two-hybrid system, was used to identify four genes encoding proteins that interact with the SNF1 protein kinase from yeast. One of the genes, SIP1, was independently isolated as a multicopy suppressor of defects caused by reduced SNF1 kinase activity, and genetic evidence supports its function in the SNF1 pathway. The SIP1 protein co-immunoprecipitated with SNF1 and was phosphorylated in vitro. Thus, the two-hybrid system, which is applicable to any cloned gene, can be used to detect physical interactions between protein kinases and functionally related substrate proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, X -- Hubbard, E J -- Carlson, M -- CA09503/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM34095/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 31;257(5070):680-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics and Development, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1496382" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A complementary DNA coding for a second type of activin receptor (ActRIIB) has been cloned from Xenopus laevis that fulfills the structural criteria of a transmembrane protein serine kinase. Ectodermal explants from embryos injected with activin receptor RNA show increased sensitivity to activin, as measured by the induction of muscle actin RNA. In addition, injected embryos display developmental defects characterized by inappropriate formation of dorsal mesodermal tissue.

Two tobacco chitinases represent a different class of hydroxyproline-containing proteins. Hydroxyproline-rich proteins are predominantly extracellular, structural glycoproteins proteins that lack enzymatic activity and contain many hydroxyproline residues. In contrast, type I chitinases are vacuolar enzymes. They are not glycosylated and contain a small number of hydroxyproline residues restricted to a single, short peptide sequence.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sticher, L -- Hofsteenge, J -- Milani, A -- Neuhaus, J M -- Meins, F Jr -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 31;257(5070):655-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Friedrich Miescher-Institut, Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1496378" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Emerging principles for the recognition of peptide antigens by MHC class I molecules (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-14
    Description: Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules interact with self and foreign peptides of diverse amino acid sequences yet exhibit distinct allele-specific selectivity for peptide binding. The structures of the peptide-binding specificity pockets (subsites) in the groove of murine H-2Kb as well as human histocompatibility antigen class I molecules have been analyzed. Deep but highly conserved pockets at each end of the groove bind the amino and carboxyl termini of peptide through extensive hydrogen bonding and, hence, dictate the orientation of peptide binding. A deep polymorphic pocket in the middle of the groove provides the chemical and structural complementarity for one of the peptide's anchor residues, thereby playing a major role in allele-specific peptide binding. Although one or two shallow pockets in the groove may also interact with specific peptide side chains, their role in the selection of peptide is minor. Thus, usage of a limited number of both deep and shallow pockets in multiple combinations appears to allow the binding of a broad range of peptides. This binding occurs with high affinity, primarily because of extensive interactions with the peptide backbone and the conserved hydrogen bonding network at both termini of the peptide. Interactions between the anchor residue (or residues) and the corresponding allele-specific pocket provide sufficient extra binding affinity not only to enhance specificity but also to endure the presentation of the peptide at the cell surface for recognition by T cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Matsumura, M -- Fremont, D H -- Peterson, P A -- Wilson, I A -- CA-09523/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-97489/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 14;257(5072):927-34.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1323878" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Atomic structure of the cubic core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-03-20
    Description: The highly symmetric pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes have molecular masses ranging from 5 to 10 million daltons. They consist of numerous copies of three different enzymes: pyruvate dehydrogenase, dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, and lipoamide dehydrogenase. The three-dimensional crystal structure of the catalytic domain of Azotobacter vinelandii dihydrolipoyl transacetylase has been determined at 2.6 angstrom (A) resolution. Eight trimers assemble as a hollow truncated cube with an edge of 125 A, forming the core of the multienzyme complex. Coenzyme A must enter the 29 A long active site channel from the inside of the cube, and lipoamide must enter from the outside. The trimer of the catalytic domain of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase has a topology identical to chloramphenicol acetyl transferase. The atomic structure of the 24-subunit cube core provides a framework for understanding all pyruvate dehydrogenase and related multienzyme complexes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mattevi, A -- Obmolova, G -- Schulze, E -- Kalk, K H -- Westphal, A H -- de Kok, A -- Hol, W G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Mar 20;255(5051):1544-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Groningen, The Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1549782" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A conformation of cyclosporin A in aqueous environment revealed by the X-ray structure of a cyclosporin-Fab complex (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-03
    Description: The conformation of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) in a complex with a Fab molecule has been established by crystallographic analysis to 2.65 angstrom resolution. This conformation of CsA is similar to that recently observed in the complex with the rotamase cyclophilin, its binding protein in vivo, and totally different from its conformation in an isolated form as determined from x-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Because the surfaces of CsA interacting with cyclophilin or with the Fab are not identical, these results suggest that the conformation of CsA observed in the bound form preexists in aqueous solution and is not produced by interaction with the proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Altschuh, D -- Vix, O -- Rees, B -- Thierry, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 3;256(5053):92-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1566062" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Requirements for phosphorylation of MAP kinase during meiosis in Xenopus oocytes (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-10
    Description: Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are activated in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli by phosphorylation on tyrosine and threonine residues. Xp42 is a Xenopus laevis MAP kinase that is activated during oocyte maturation. Modified forms of Xp42 that lacked enzymatic activity or either of the phosphorylation sites were expressed in Xenopus oocytes. When meiotic maturation was induced with progesterone, each mutant Xp42 was phosphorylated, indicating that at least one kinase was activated that can phosphorylate Xp42 on tyrosine and threonine. Phosphorylation of one residue is not strictly dependent on phosphorylation of the other.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Posada, J -- Cooper, J A -- CA-08860/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-28151/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 10;255(5041):212-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1313186" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Myoglobin was found in the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc commune. This cyanobacterial myoglobin, referred to as cyanoglobin, was shown to be a soluble hemoprotein of 12.5 kilodaltons with an amino acid sequence that is related to that of myoglobins from two lower eukaryotes, the ciliated protozoa Paramecium caudatum and Tetrahymena pyriformis. Cyanoglobin is encoded by the glbN gene, which is positioned between nifU and nifH-two genes essential for nitrogen fixation-in the genome of Nostoc. Cyanoglobin was detected in Nostoc cells only when they were starved for nitrogen and incubated microaerobically.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Potts, M -- Angeloni, S V -- Ebel, R E -- Bassam, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jun 19;256(5064):1690-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg Va 24061.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1609281" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Src homology 3 (SH3) region is a protein domain of 55 to 75 amino acids found in many cytoplasmic proteins, including those that participate in signal transduction pathways. The solution structure of the SH3 domain of the tyrosine kinase Src was determined by multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The molecule is composed of two short three-stranded anti-parallel beta sheets packed together at approximately right angles. Studies of the SH3 domain bound to proline-rich peptide ligands revealed a hydrophobic binding site on the surface of the protein that is lined with the side chains of conserved aromatic amino acids.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, H -- Rosen, M K -- Shin, T B -- Seidel-Dugan, C -- Brugge, J S -- Schreiber, S L -- 1-S10-RR04870/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- CA27951/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM44993/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 4;258(5088):1665-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1280858" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Modulation of an NCAM-related adhesion molecule with long-term synaptic plasticity in Aplysia (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-01
    Description: A form of learning in the marine mollusk Aplysia, long-term sensitization of the gill- and siphon-withdrawal reflex, results in the formation of new synaptic connections between the presynaptic siphon sensory neurons and their target cells. These structural changes can be mimicked, when the cells are maintained in culture, by application of serotonin, an endogenous facilitating neurotransmitter in Aplysia. A group of cell surface proteins, designated Aplysia cell adhesion molecules (apCAM's) was down-regulated in the sensory neurons in response to serotonin. The deduced amino acid sequence obtained from complementary DNA clones indicated that the apCAM's are a family of proteins that seem to arise from a single gene. The apCAM's are members of the immunoglobulin class of cell adhesion molecules and resemble two neural cell adhesion molecules, NCAM and fasciclin II. In addition to regulating newly synthesized apCAM, serotonin also altered the amount of preexisting apCAM on the cell surface of the presynaptic sensory neurons. By contrast, the apCAM on the surface of the postsynaptic motor neuron was not modulated by serotonin. This rapid, transmitter-mediated down-regulation of a cell adhesion molecule in the sensory neurons may be one of the early molecular changes in long-term synaptic facilitation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mayford, M -- Barzilai, A -- Keller, F -- Schacher, S -- Kandel, E R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 1;256(5057):638-44.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1585176" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A site on rod G protein alpha subunit that mediates effector activation (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-15
    Description: The heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins) are activated by sensory or hormone receptors. In turn, the G proteins activate effector proteins such as adenylyl cyclase, cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase (cGMP PDE), phospholipase C, and potassium and calcium ion channels by mechanisms that are poorly understood. A site on the alpha subunit of the G protein transducin (alpha t) has been identified that interacts with and activates cGMP phosphodiesterase, the effector enzyme in rod photoreceptors. A 22-amino acid peptide, corresponding to residues 293 to 314 from the COOH-terminal region of alpha t, fully mimicked alpha t and potently activated PDE. This region is adjacent to the receptor activation domain; thus, the alpha subunit of this G protein has a site for interaction with both its effector and receptor that maps near the COOH-terminus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rarick, H M -- Artemyev, N O -- Hamm, H E -- EY 06062/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL 07692-02/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 15;256(5059):1031-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago 60680.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1317058" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Calmodulin trapping by calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-22
    Description: Multifunctional calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) transduces transient elevations in intracellular calcium into changes in the phosphorylation state and activity of target proteins. By fluorescence emission anisotropy, the affinity of CaM kinase for dansylated calmodulin was measured and found to increase 1000 times after autophosphorylation of the threonine at position 286 of the protein. Autophosphorylation markedly slowed the release of bound calcium-calmodulin; the release time increased from less than a second to several hundred seconds. In essence, calmodulin is trapped by autophosphorylation. The shift in affinity does not occur in a site-directed mutant in which threonine at position 286 has been replaced by a non-phosphorylatable amino acid. These experiments demonstrate the existence of a new state in which calmodulin is bound to CaM kinase even though the concentration of calcium is basal. Calmodulin trapping provides for molecular potentiation of calcium transients and may enable detection of their frequency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meyer, T -- Hanson, P I -- Stryer, L -- Schulman, H -- GM 40600/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM24032/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- MH45324/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 22;256(5060):1199-202.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1317063" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A functional connection between the pores of distantly related ion channels as revealed by mutant K+ channels (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-11-13
    Description: The overall sequence similarity between the voltage-activated K+ channels and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels from retinal and olfactory neurons suggests that they arose from a common ancestor. On the basis of sequence comparisons, mutations were introduced into the pore of a voltage-activated K+ channel. These mutations confer the essential features of ion conduction in the cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels; the mutant K+ channels display little selectivity among monovalent cations and are blocked by divalent cations. The property of K+ selectivity is related to the presence of two amino acids that are absent from the pore-forming region of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channels. These data demonstrate that very small differences in the primary structure of an ion channel can account for extreme functional diversity, and they suggest a possible connection between the pore-forming regions of K+, Ca2+, and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heginbotham, L -- Abramson, T -- MacKinnon, R -- GM43949/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM47400/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 13;258(5085):1152-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1279807" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Regulation by ATP and ADP of CFTR chloride channels that contain mutant nucleotide-binding domains (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-09-18
    Description: Regulation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel is unusual in that phosphorylated channels require cytosolic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to open. The CFTR contains two regions predicted to be nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs); site-directed mutations in each NBD have now been shown to alter the relation between ATP concentration and channel activity, which indicates that ATP stimulates the channel by direct interaction with both NBDs. The two NBDs are not, however, functionally equivalent: adenosine diphosphate (ADP) competitively inhibited the channel by interacting with NBD2 but not by interacting with NBD1. Four cystic fibrosis-associated mutations in the NBDs reduced absolute chloride channel activity, and one mutation also decreased the potency with which ATP stimulates channel activity. Dysfunction of ATP-dependent stimulation through the NBDs may be the basis for defective CFTR chloride channel activity in some cystic fibrosis patients.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Anderson, M P -- Welsh, M J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 18;257(5077):1701-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City 52242.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1382316" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-09-18
    Description: The double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (dsRNA-PK) is thought to be a key mediator of the antiviral and antiproliferative effects of interferons (IFNs). Studies examining the physiological function of the kinase suggest that it participates in cell growth and differentiation by regulating protein synthesis. Autophosphorylation and consequent activation of dsRNA-PK in vitro and in vivo result in phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) and inhibition of protein synthesis. Expression of a functionally defective mutant of human dsRNA-PK in NIH 3T3 cells resulted in malignant transformation, suggesting that dsRNA-PK may function as a suppressor of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Koromilas, A E -- Roy, S -- Barber, G N -- Katze, M G -- Sonenberg, N -- AI22646/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RR00166/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 18;257(5077):1685-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1382315" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The B cell antigen receptor complex: association of Ig-alpha and Ig-beta with distinct cytoplasmic effectors (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-10-02
    Description: The B cell antigen receptor complex is a hetero-oligomeric structure composed of antigen binding, membrane immunoglobulin, and transducer-transporter substructures. The transducer-transporter substructure is composed of disulfide-linked dimers of immunoglobulin (Ig)-alpha and Ig-beta/gamma subunits that are products of the mb-1(alpha) and B29 (beta/gamma) genes. Although the receptor complex associates with Src family kinases that are activated after receptor ligation, the site of interaction of these and other cytoplasmic effector molecules with receptor subunits is unknown. The cytoplasmic tails of Ig-alpha and Ig-beta chains were found to associate with distinct sets of effector molecules. The Ig-alpha chain cytoplasmic domain bound to the Src family kinases Lyn and Fyn, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase), and an unidentified 38-kilodalton phosphoprotein; the cytoplasmic tail of Ig-beta bound PI-3 kinase and unidentified 40- and 42-kilodalton phosphoproteins. Binding activity was found to occur within a 26-amino acid sequence of Ig-alpha and Ig-beta that contains a motif [(Asp or Glu)-(any amino acid)7-(Asp or Glu)-Tyr-(any amino acid)3-Leu-(any amino acid)7-Tyr-(any amino acid)2-(Leu or Ile)] previously implicated in signal transduction via other receptors including the Fc epsilon receptor I and the T cell antigen receptor.

    Structure, expression, and antisense inhibition of the systemin precursor gene (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-03-20
    Description: A gene that encodes systemin, a mobile 18-amino acid polypeptide inducer of proteinase inhibitor synthesis in tomato and potato leaves, has been isolated from tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum. Induction of proteinase inhibitors in plants is a response to insect or pathogen attacks. The gene has 10 introns and 11 exons, ten of which are organized as five homologous pairs with an unrelated sequence in the eleventh, encoding systemin. Systemin is proteolytically processed from a 200-amino acid precursor protein, prosystemin. Prosystemin messenger RNA was found in all organs of the plant except the roots and was systemically wound-inducible in leaves. Tomato plants transformed with an antisense prosystemin complementary DNA exhibited greatly suppressed systemic wound induction of proteinase Inhibitor I and II synthesis in leaves.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McGurl, B -- Pearce, G -- Orozco-Cardenas, M -- Ryan, C A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Mar 20;255(5051):1570-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Biological Chemistry, Washington State University, Pullman 99164-6340.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1549783" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cell cycle-regulated binding of c-Abl tyrosine kinase to DNA (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-17
    Description: The proto-oncogene c-abl encodes a protein tyrosine kinase that is localized in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The large carboxyl-terminal segment of c-Abl was found to contain a DNA-binding domain that was necessary for the association of c-Abl with chromatin. The DNA-binding activity of c-Abl was lost during mitosis when the carboxyl-terminal segment became phosphorylated. In vitro phosphorylation of the DNA-binding domain by cdc2 kinase abolished DNA binding. Homozygous mutant mice expressing a c-Abl tyrosine kinase without the DNA-binding domain have been reported to die of multiple defects at birth. Thus, binding of the c-Abl tyrosine kinase to DNA may be essential to its biological function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kipreos, E T -- Wang, J Y -- CA 43054/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 17;256(5055):382-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of California San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0116.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1566087" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Primary structure and functional expression of the beta 1 subunit of the rat brain sodium channel (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-08
    Description: Voltage-sensitive sodium channels are responsible for the initiation and propagation of the action potential and therefore are important for neuronal excitability. Complementary DNA clones encoding the beta 1 subunit of the rat brain sodium channel were isolated by a combination of polymerase chain reaction and library screening techniques. The deduced primary structure indicates that the beta 1 subunit is a 22,851-dalton protein that contains a single putative transmembrane domain and four potential extracellular N-linked glycosylation sites, consistent with biochemical data. Northern blot analysis reveals a 1,400-nucleotide messenger RNA in rat brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and spinal cord. Coexpression of beta 1 subunits with alpha subunits increases the size of the peak sodium current, accelerates its inactivation, and shifts the voltage dependence of inactivation to more negative membrane potentials. These results indicate that the beta 1 subunit is crucial in the assembly, expression, and functional modulation of the heterotrimeric complex of the rat brain sodium channel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Isom, L L -- De Jongh, K S -- Patton, D E -- Reber, B F -- Offord, J -- Charbonneau, H -- Walsh, K -- Goldin, A L -- Catterall, W A -- NS15751/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS25704/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS26729/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 8;256(5058):839-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1375395" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Internal stark effect measurement of the electric field at the amino terminus of an alpha helix (1992)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-14
    Description: The strengths of electrostatic interactions in biological molecules are difficult to calculate or predict because they occur in complicated, inhomogeneous environments. The electric field at the amino terminus of an alpha helix in water has been determined by measuring the shift in the absorption band for a covalently attached, neutral probe molecule with an electric dipole moment difference between the ground and excited electronic states (an internal Stark effect). The field at the interface between the helix and the solvent is found to be an order of magnitude stronger than expected from the dielectric properties of bulk water. Furthermore, although the total electric dipole moment of the helix increases with length, the electric field at the amino terminus does not.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lockhart, D J -- Kim, P S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 14;257(5072):947-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nine Cambridge Center 02142.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1502559" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Constructing proteins by dovetailing unprotected synthetic peptides: backbone-engineered HIV protease (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-10
    Description: Backbone-engineered HIV-1 protease was prepared by a total chemical synthesis approach that combines the act of joining two peptides with the generation of an analog structure. Unprotected synthetic peptide segments corresponding to the two halves of the HIV-1 protease monomer polypeptide chain were joined cleanly and in high yield through unique mutually reactive functional groups, one on each segment. Ligation was performed in 6 molar guanidine hydrochloride, thus circumventing limited solubility of protected peptide segments, the principal problem of the classical approach to the chemical synthesis of proteins. The resulting fully active HIV-1 protease analog contained a thioester replacement for the natural peptide bond between Gly51-Gly52 in each of the two active site flaps, a region known to be highly sensitive to mutational changes of amino acid side chains.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schnolzer, M -- Kent, S B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 10;256(5054):221-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1566069" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Joint refinement of macromolecules against crystallographic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) observations is presented as a way of combining experimental information from the two methods. The model of interleukin-1 beta derived by the joint x-ray and NMR refinement is shown to be consistent with the experimental observations of both methods and to have crystallographic R value and geometrical parameters that are of the same quality as or better than those of models obtained by conventional crystallographic studies. The few NMR observations that are violated by the model serve as an indicator for genuine differences between the crystal and solution structures. The joint x-ray-NMR refinement can resolve structural ambiguities encountered in studies of multidomain proteins, in which low- to medium-resolution diffraction data can be complemented by higher resolution NMR data obtained for the individual domains.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shaanan, B -- Gronenborn, A M -- Cohen, G H -- Gilliland, G L -- Veerapandian, B -- Davies, D R -- Clore, G M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 14;257(5072):961-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laborator of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1502561" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A single amino acid that determines the sensitivity of progesterone receptors to RU486 (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-10
    Description: The progesterone analog RU486, an abortifacient, inhibits the action of progestins in humans but not in chickens or hamsters. Substitution of cysteine at position 575 by glycine in the hormone binding domain (HBD) of the chicken progesterone receptor (cPR) generated a cPR that binds RU486 and whose activity is antagonized by that compound. In fact, all receptors that bind RU486 have a glycine at the corresponding position. The hamster PR, like cPR, has a cysteine. Only glycine--not methionine or leucine--at position 575 allowed binding of RU486 to cPR. Substitution of this glycine by cysteine in the human PR (hPR) abrogated binding of RU486 but not that of an agonist. The corresponding mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor resulted in a loss of binding of both dexamethasone and RU486. Examination of a series of 11 beta-substituted steroids showed that antagonism is not an intrinsic property of an antihormone, because one hPR antagonist acted as an agonist for a mutated hPR. The positioning of an aromatic 11 beta-substitution in the PR HBD appears to be critical for generating agonistic or antagonistic activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Benhamou, B -- Garcia, T -- Lerouge, T -- Vergezac, A -- Gofflo, D -- Bigogne, C -- Chambon, P -- Gronemeyer, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 10;255(5041):206-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department Endocrinologie, Centre de Recherche Roussel-Uclaf, Romainville, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1372753" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The 4-kilodalton (39 to 43 amino acids) amyloid beta protein (beta AP), which is deposited as amyloid in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's diseases, is derived from a large protein, the amyloid beta protein precursor (beta APP). Human mononuclear leukemic (K562) cells expressing a beta AP-bearing, carboxyl-terminal beta APP derivative released significant amounts of a soluble 4-kilodalton beta APP derivative essentially identical to the beta AP deposited in Alzheimer's disease. Human neuroblastoma (M17) cells transfected with constructs expressing full-length beta APP and M17 cells expressing only endogenous beta APP also released soluble 4-kilodalton beta AP, and a similar, if not identical, fragment was readily detected in cerebrospinal fluid from individuals with Alzheimer's disease and normal individuals. Thus cells normally produce and release soluble 4-kilodalton beta AP that is essentially identical to the 4-kilodalton beta AP deposited as insoluble amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer's disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shoji, M -- Golde, T E -- Ghiso, J -- Cheung, T T -- Estus, S -- Shaffer, L M -- Cai, X D -- McKay, D M -- Tintner, R -- Frangione, B -- AG05891/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG06656/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AR02594/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Oct 2;258(5079):126-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, Gunma University, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1439760" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-04-17
    Description: Alterations in intracellular calcium levels activate several signal transduction pathways resulting in distinct patterns of gene expression. Here, a pathway for calcium-mediated signals is demonstrated that involves C/EBP beta, a member of the bZip family of transcription factors. In pituitary cells C/EBP beta was phosphorylated in response to increased intracellular calcium concentrations as a consequence of the activation of a calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of serine at position 276 within the leucine zipper of C/EBP beta appeared to confer calcium-regulated transcriptional stimulation of a promoter that contained binding sites for C/EBP beta.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wegner, M -- Cao, Z -- Rosenfeld, M G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 17;256(5055):370-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0648.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1314426" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-07-03
    Description: Medium-chain fatty acids (FAs), found in storage lipids of certain plants, are an important renewable resource. Seeds of undomesticated California bay accumulate laurate (12:0), and a 12:0-acyl-carrier protein thioesterase (BTE) has been purified from this tissue. Sequencing of BTE enabled the cloning of a complementary DNA coding for a plastid-targeted preprotein. Expression of the complementary DNA in the seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in BTE activity, and medium chains accumulated at the expense of long-chain (greater than or equal to 16) FAs. Laurate became the most abundant FA species and was deposited in the storage triacylglycerols. These results demonstrate a mechanism for medium-chain FA synthesis in plants.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Voelker, T A -- Worrell, A C -- Anderson, L -- Bleibaum, J -- Fan, C -- Hawkins, D J -- Radke, S E -- Davies, H M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 3;257(5066):72-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Calgene, Inc., Davis, CA 95616.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1621095" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structural basis of the intrasteric regulation of myosin light chain kinases (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-10-02
    Description: The smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (smMLCK) catalytic core was modeled by using the crystallographic coordinates of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (cAPK) and a bound pseudosubstrate inhibitor peptide, PKI(5-24). Despite only 30% identity in amino acid sequence, the MLCK sequence can be readily accommodated in this structure. With the exception of the short B-helix, all major elements of secondary structure in the core are very likely conserved. The active site of the modeled MLCK complements the known requirements for peptide substrate recognition. MLCK contains a pseudosubstrate sequence that overlaps the calmodulin binding domain and has been proposed to act as an intrasteric inhibitor and occupy the substrate binding site in the absence of Ca(2+)-calmodulin.

    Three-dimensional solution structure of human interleukin-4 by multidimensional heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-06-19
    Description: The three-dimensional solution structure of recombinant human interleukin-4, a protein of 133 residues and 15.4 kilodaltons that plays a key role in the immune and inflammatory systems, has been solved by multidimensional heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The structure is dominated by a left-handed four-helix bundle with an unusual topology comprising two overhand connections. The linker elements between the helices are formed by either long loops, small helical turns, or short strands. The overall topology is remarkably similar to that of growth hormone and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, despite the absence of any sequence homology, and substantial differences in the relative lengths of the helices, the length and nature of the various connecting elements, and the pattern of disulfide bridges. These three proteins, however, bind to cell surface receptors belonging to the same hematopoietic superfamily, which suggests that interleukin-4 may interact with its receptor in an analogous manner to that observed in the crystal structure of the growth hormone-extracellular receptor complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Powers, R -- Garrett, D S -- March, C J -- Frieden, E A -- Gronenborn, A M -- Clore, G M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jun 19;256(5064):1673-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Chemical Physics, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1609277" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The skeletal muscle chloride channel in dominant and recessive human myotonia (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-07
    Description: Autosomal recessive generalized myotonia (Becker's disease) (GM) and autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (Thomsen's disease) (MC) are characterized by skeletal muscle stiffness that is a result of muscle membrane hyperexcitability. For both diseases, alterations in muscle chloride or sodium currents or both have been observed. A complementary DNA for a human skeletal muscle chloride channel (CLC-1) was cloned, physically localized on chromosome 7, and linked to the T cell receptor beta (TCRB) locus. Tight linkage of these two loci to GM and MC was found in German families. An unusual restriction site in the CLC-1 locus in two GM families identified a mutation associated with that disease, a phenylalanine-to-cysteine substitution in putative transmembrane domain D8. This suggests that different mutations in CLC-1 may cause dominant or recessive myotonia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Koch, M C -- Steinmeyer, K -- Lorenz, C -- Ricker, K -- Wolf, F -- Otto, M -- Zoll, B -- Lehmann-Horn, F -- Grzeschik, K H -- Jentsch, T J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 7;257(5071):797-800.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Medical Center for Human Genetics, Marburg University, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1379744" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Activation of a plant gene by T-DNA tagging: auxin-independent growth in vitro (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-11-20
    Description: A transferred DNA (T-DNA) tagging vector with the potential to produce dominant mutations was used with cocultured Agrobacterium tumefaciens and protoplasts to tag genes involved in the action of the plant growth substance auxin. Transgenic calli were selected for their ability to grow in the absence of auxin in the culture media. From one experiment, 12 calli that displayed this phenotype were recovered, of which 11 were able to regenerate into plants. In one plant studied in detail, protoplast division in the absence of auxin genetically cosegregated with a single T-DNA insert. A messenger RNA encoded by a 6.4-kilobase sequence of plant genomic DNA rescued from the mutant is overexpressed relative to untransformed plants. The genomic DNA, as well as a cognate complementary DNA, once transfected into protoplasts promote growth and cell division in vitro in the absence of exogenously added auxin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hayashi, H -- Czaja, I -- Lubenow, H -- Schell, J -- Walden, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 20;258(5086):1350-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tokyo, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1455228" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Functional complementation of yeast ste6 by a mammalian multidrug resistance mdr gene (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-10
    Description: Multidrug resistance in mammalian tumor cells is associated with the overexpression of mdr genes encoding P-glycoproteins, which function as drug efflux pumps. A yeast homolog of mdr, STE6, mediates export of a-factor mating peptide. Yeast MATa cells carrying a ste6 deletion produce no extracellular a-factor and therefore are defective in mating. Expression of a complementary DNA for the mouse mdr3 gene in a yeast ste6 deletion strain restored ability to export a-factor and to mate. A mutation (a serine to phenylalanine substitution at amino acid 939) known to affect the activity of the mdr3 gene product abolished its ability to complement the yeast ste6 deletion. Thus, functions of P-glycoproteins in normal mammalian cells may include the transmembrane export of endogenous peptides.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Raymond, M -- Gros, P -- Whiteway, M -- Thomas, D Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 10;256(5054):232-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉National Research Council of Canada, Biotechnology Research Institute, Montreal, Quebec.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1348873" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Total chemical synthesis of a D-enzyme: the enantiomers of HIV-1 protease show reciprocal chiral substrate specificity [corrected] (1992)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-06-05
    Description: The D and L forms of the enzyme HIV-1 protease have been prepared by total chemical synthesis. The two proteins had identical covalent structures. However, the folded protein-enzyme enantiomers showed reciprocal chiral specificity on peptide substrates. That is, each enzyme enantiomer cut only the corresponding substrate enantiomer. Reciprocal chiral specificity was also evident in the effect of enantiomeric inhibitors. These data imply that the folded forms of the chemically synthesized D- and L-enzyme molecules are mirror images of one another in all elements of the three-dimensional structure. Enantiomeric proteins are expected to display reciprocal chiral specificity in all aspects of their biochemical interactions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Milton, R C -- Milton, S C -- Kent, S B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jun 5;256(5062):1445-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1604320" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Nuclear localization of Agrobacterium VirE2 protein in plant cells (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-06-26
    Description: The Agrobacterium single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediate T-strand is likely transferred to the plant cell nucleus as a complex with a single VirD2 molecule at its 5' end and multiple VirE2 molecules along its length. VirD2 contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS); however, because the T-strand is principally coated with VirE2 molecules, VirE2 also might assist in nuclear uptake. Indeed, VirE2 fused to a reporter protein localizes to plant cell nuclei, a process mediated by two amino acid sequences with homology to the bipartite NLS of Xenopus nucleoplasmin. Moreover, tumorigenicity of an avirulent virE2 mutant is restored when inoculated on transgenic plants expressing VirE2, supporting in planta function of VirE2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Citovsky, V -- Zupan, J -- Warnick, D -- Zambryski, P -- GM-45244-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jun 26;256(5065):1802-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1615325" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Peptides extracted from HLA-A2.1 class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules expressed on the antigen processing mutant CEMx721.174.T2 were characterized by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Only seven dominant peptides were found, in contrast to over 200 associated with HLA-A2.1 on normal cells. These peptides were derived from the signal peptide domains of normal cellular proteins, were usually larger than nine residues, and were also associated with HLA-A2.1 in normal cells. These results suggest that proteolysis of signal peptide domains in the endoplasmic reticulum is a second mechanism for processing and presentation of peptides for association with class I molecules.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Henderson, R A -- Michel, H -- Sakaguchi, K -- Shabanowitz, J -- Appella, E -- Hunt, D F -- Engelhard, V H -- AI20963/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM37537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Mar 6;255(5049):1264-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville 22908.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546329" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inhibition of neutrophil chemokinesis on vitronectin by inhibitors of calcineurin (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-10-09
    Description: Migration of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils on vitronectin is dependent on repeated transient increases in the concentration of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i). A specific peptide inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin was introduced into the cytoplasm of neutrophils. The peptide inhibited neutrophil migration on vitronectin by interfering with the release of the cells from sites of attachment. A similar reduction in motility on vitronectin occurred when cells were treated with the immunosuppressant FK506, which also inhibits calcineurin when bound to its binding protein, FKBP. These results indicate that a rise in [Ca2+]i reduces integrin-mediated adhesion to vitronectin by a mechanism that requires calcineurin activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hendey, B -- Klee, C B -- Maxfield, F R -- GM14150/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM34770/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Oct 9;258(5080):296-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1384129" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The Ur-lambda virions have thin, jointed tail fibers that are absent from lambda wild type. Two novel proteins of Ur-lambda constitute the fibers: the product of stf, the gene that is disrupted in lambda wild type by the frameshift mutation, and the product of gene tfa, a protein that is implicated in facilitating tail fiber assembly. Relative to lambda wild type, Ur-lambda has expanded receptor specificity and adsorbs to Escherichia coli cells more rapidly.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hendrix, R W -- Duda, R L -- GM47795/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 13;258(5085):1145-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, PA 15260.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1439823" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The phylogenetic origin of eukaryotes has been unclear because eukaryotic nuclear genes have diverged substantially from prokaryotic ones. The genes coding for elongation factor EF-1 alpha were compared among various organisms. The EF-1 alpha sequences of eukaryotes contained an 11-amino acid segment that was also found in eocytes (extremely thermophilic, sulfur-metabolizing bacteria) but that was absent in all other bacteria. The related (paralogous) genes encoding elongation factor EF-2 and initiation factor IF-2 also lacked the 11-amino acid insert. These data imply that the eocytes are the closest surviving relatives (sister taxon) of the eukaryotes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rivera, M C -- Lake, J A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 3;257(5066):74-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Biology Institute, University of California, Los Angeles 90024.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1621096" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Gaucher disease: new molecular approaches to diagnosis and treatment (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-08
    Description: Gaucher disease is characterized by the accumulation of glucocerebroside, leading to enlargement of the liver and spleen and lesions in the bones. It is caused by an inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Many mutations exist, but four of these account for over 97% of the mutations in Ashkenazi Jews, the population group in which Gaucher disease is the most common. Although there is a strong relation between the mutations and disease manifestations, genetic counseling is made difficult by the fact that within each genotype there is considerable variability in the severity of the disease. Intravenous infusion of glucocerebrosidase is an effective treatment, but the availability of enzyme replacement therapy is limited by its high cost. Marrow transplantation is also effective in treating the disease, but is rarely performed because of the risks involved. In the future gene transfer may become the treatment of choice.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Beutler, E -- DK36639/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- RR00833/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 8;256(5058):794-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular, Experimental Medicine, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1589760" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Alternative forms of Max as enhancers or suppressors of Myc-ras cotransformation (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-04-17
    Description: Max is a basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper protein capable of forming sequence-specific DNA binding complexes with Myc proteins. An alternatively spliced messenger RNA has been identified that encodes a form of Max truncated at the COOH-terminus. This delta Max protein retained the ability to bind to the CACGTG motif in a complex with c-Myc but lacks the nuclear localization signal and the putative regulatory domain of Max. When tested in a myc-ras cotransformation assay in rat embryo fibroblasts, Max suppressed, whereas delta Max enhanced, transformation. Thus, the max gene may encode both a negative and a positive regulator of c-Myc function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Makela, T P -- Koskinen, P J -- Vastrik, I -- Alitalo, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Apr 17;256(5055):373-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Virology, University of Helsinki, Finland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1566084" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Invariant chain peptides in most HLA-DR molecules of an antigen-processing mutant (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-12-11
    Description: Class II major histocompatibility complexes bind peptides in an endosome-like compartment. When the class II null cell line 721.174 was transfected with class II DR3 genes, DR molecules were produced in normal amounts. However, the DR molecules were abnormally conformed and unstable because deletion of an antigen-processing gene had impaired intracellular formation of most class II-peptide complexes. Yet, 70 percent of the DR molecules still bore peptides, 80 percent of which were 21- to 24-amino acid fragments of the class II-associated invariant chain. These peptides were rare on DR3 from control cells. Thus, a defect in the main antigen-processing pathway revealed a process in which DR molecules bind long peptides derived from proteins present in the same compartment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sette, A -- Ceman, S -- Kubo, R T -- Sakaguchi, K -- Appella, E -- Hunt, D F -- Davis, T A -- Michel, H -- Shabanowitz, J -- Rudersdorf, R -- AI15486/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI18634/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM37537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Dec 11;258(5089):1801-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Genetics, University of Wisconsin, Madison 53706.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1465617" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A yeast chromosomal origin of DNA replication defined by multiple functional elements (1992)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-14
    Description: Although it has been demonstrated that discrete origins of DNA replication exist in eukaryotic cellular chromosomes, the detailed organization of a eukaryotic cellular origin remains to be determined. Linker substitution mutations were constructed across the entire Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomal origin, ARS1. Functional studies of these mutants revealed one essential element (A), which includes a match to the ARS consensus sequence, and three additional elements (B1, B2, and B3), which collectively are also essential for origin function. These four elements arranged exactly as in ARS1, but surrounded by completely unrelated sequence, functioned as an efficient origin. Element B3 is the binding site for the transcription factor-origin binding protein ABF1. Other transcription factor binding sites substitute for the B3 element and a trans-acting transcriptional activation domain is required. The multipartite nature of a chromosomal replication origin and the role of transcriptional activators in its function present a striking similarity to the organization of eukaryotic promoters.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marahrens, Y -- Stillman, B -- AI20460/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 14;255(5046):817-23.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY 11724.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1536007" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Acquisition of myogenic specificity by replacement of three amino acid residues from MyoD into E12 (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-05-15
    Description: The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein MyoD is a transcription factor that is important for the induction of the myogenic phenotype. The DNA binding basic region (13 amino acids) is necessary for recognition of the consensus MyoD binding site, for transcriptional activation, and for conversion of fibroblasts to muscle. In contrast, the non-tissue-specific bHLH protein E12 can bind to the MyoD binding site but does not induce myogenesis. Here, it is shown that only two amino acids in the MyoD basic region and a single amino acid from the junction, which separates the basic region and helix 1, are sufficient for myogenic specificity when substituted into the corresponding region of E12. These findings suggest that the recognition of particular determinants in the basic region is required for conversion of fibroblasts to muscle.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Davis, R L -- Weintraub, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 15;256(5059):1027-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute Laboratory, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1317057" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A strategy for delivering peptides into the central nervous system by sequential metabolism (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-09-18
    Description: Most peptides do not enter the central nervous system because of their hydrophilic character and the presence of peptidolytic enzymes in the lipoidal blood-brain barrier. To achieve brain delivery of a peptide conjugate, an opioid peptide (enkephalin) was placed in a molecular environment that disguises its peptide nature and provides biolabile, lipophilic functions to penetrate the blood-brain barrier by passive transport. The strategy also incorporates a 1,4-dihydrotrigonellinate targetor that undergoes an enzymatically mediated oxidation to a hydrophilic, membrane-impermeable trigonellinate salt. The polar targetorpeptide conjugate that is trapped behind the lipoidal blood-brain barrier is deposited in the central nervous system. Analgesia was observed with "packaged" enkephalin but not with the unmodified peptide or lipophilic peptide precursors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bodor, N -- Prokai, L -- Wu, W M -- Farag, H -- Jonalagadda, S -- Kawamura, M -- Simpkins, J -- 1 PO AG10485/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 18;257(5077):1698-700.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Drug Discovery, College of Pharmacy, J.

    Description: During replication, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) switches from production of small to large delta antigen. Both antigen isoforms have an HDV genome binding domain and are packaged into hepatitis B virus (HBV)-derived envelopes but differ at their carboxy termini. The large antigen was shown to contain a terminal CXXX box and undergo prenylation. The large, but not the small, antigen formed secreted particles when expressed singly with HBV surface antigen. Mutation of Cys211 in the CXXX box of the large antigen abolished both prenylation and particle formation, suggesting that this site is important for virion morphogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Glenn, J S -- Watson, J A -- Havel, C M -- White, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 May 29;256(5061):1331-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0450.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1598578" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1992-07-10
    Description: The molecular basis for recognition of nonnative proteins by the molecular chaperone SecB was investigated with an in vitro assay based on the protection of SecB from proteolysis when a ligand is bound. The SecB tetramer has multiple binding sites for positively charged peptides. When the peptide binding sites are occupied, the complex undergoes a conformational change to expose hydrophobic sites that bind the fluorescent probe 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate. A model is proposed for interaction of nonnative polypeptides with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sites on SecB.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Randall, L L -- GM29798/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jul 10;257(5067):241-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Washington State University, Pullman 99164-4660.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1631545" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The 62-kilodalton component (p62) of one of these transcription factors, BTF2 was cloned and overexpressed. A monoclonal antibody to this polypeptide inhibited transcription in vitro. Immunoaffinity experiments demonstrated that the 62-kilodalton component is closely associated with the other polypeptides present in the BTF2 factor.

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

    Structural evidence for induced fit as a mechanism for antibody-antigen recognition (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-02-21
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of a specific antibody (Fab 17/9) to a peptide immunogen from influenza virus hemagglutinin [HA1(75-110)] and two independent crystal complexes of this antibody with bound peptide (TyrP100-LeuP108) have been determined by x-ray crystallographic techniques at 2.0 A, 2.9 A, and 3.1 A resolution, respectively. The nonapeptide antigen assumes a type I beta turn in the antibody combining site and interacts primarily with the Fab hypervariable loops L3, H2, and H3. Comparison of the bound and unbound Fab structures shows that a major rearrangement in the H3 loop accompanies antigen binding. This conformational change results in the creation of a binding pocket for the beta turn of the peptide, allowing TyrP105 to be accommodated. The conformation of the peptide bound to the antibody shows similarity to its cognate sequence in the HA1, suggesting a possible mechanism for the cross-reactivity of this Fab with monomeric hemagglutinin. The structures of the free and antigen bound antibodies demonstrate the flexibility of the antibody combining site and provide an example of induced fit as a mechanism for antibody-antigen recognition.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rini, J M -- Schulze-Gahmen, U -- Wilson, I A -- AI-23498/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Feb 21;255(5047):959-65.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1546293" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Target enzyme recognition by calmodulin: 2.4 A structure of a calmodulin-peptide complex (1992)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-28
    Description: The crystal structure of calcium-bound calmodulin (Ca(2+)-CaM) bound to a peptide analog of the CaM-binding region of chicken smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase has been determined and refined to a resolution of 2.4 angstroms (A). The structure is compact and has the shape of an ellipsoid (axial ratio approximately 2:1). The bound CaM forms a tunnel diagonal to its long axis that engulfs the helical peptide, with the hydrophobic regions of CaM melded into a single area that closely covers the hydrophobic side of the peptide. There is a remarkably high pseudo-twofold symmetry between the closely associated domains. The central helix of the native CaM is unwound and expanded into a bend between residues 73 and 77. About 185 contacts (less than 4 A) are formed between CaM and the peptide, with van der Waals contacts comprising approximately 80% of this total.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meador, W E -- Means, A R -- Quiocho, F A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 28;257(5074):1251-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1519061" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A mutation in the POU-homeodomain of Pit-1 responsible for combined pituitary hormone deficiency (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-08-21
    Description: Pit-1 is a pituitary-specific transcription factor responsible for pituitary development and hormone expression in mammals. Mutations in the gene encoding Pit-1 have been found in two dwarf mouse strains displaying hypoplasia of growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating, hormone-secreting cell types in the anterior pituitary. A point mutation in this gene was identified on one allele in a patient with combined pituitary hormone deficiency. Mutant Pit-1 binds DNA normally but acts as a dominant inhibitor of Pit-1 action in the pituitary.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Radovick, S -- Nations, M -- Du, Y -- Berg, L A -- Weintraub, B D -- Wondisford, F E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Aug 21;257(5073):1115-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pediatrics, Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital, Cleveland, OH.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1509262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    DNA binding activity of recombinant SRY from normal males and XY females (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-01-24
    Description: The protein encoded by the human testis determining gene, SRY, contains a high mobility group (HMG) box related to that present in the T cell-specific, DNA-binding protein TCF-1. Recombinant SRY protein was able to bind to the same core sequence AACAAAG recognized by TCF-1 in a sequence dependent manner. In five XY females point mutations were found in the region encoding the HMG box. In four cases DNA binding activity of mutant SRY protein was negligible; in the fifth case DNA binding was reduced. These results imply that the DNA binding activity of SRY is required for sex determination.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harley, V R -- Jackson, D I -- Hextall, P J -- Hawkins, J R -- Berkovitz, G D -- Sockanathan, S -- Lovell-Badge, R -- Goodfellow, P N -- MC_U117562207/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 24;255(5043):453-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Human Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, United Kingdom.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1734522" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
