    Coatomer interaction with di-lysine endoplasmic reticulum retention motifs (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-18
    Description: Although signals for retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) have been identified in the cytoplasmic domain of various ER-resident type I transmembrane proteins, the mechanisms responsible for ER retention are still unknown. Yeast and mammalian ER retention motifs interacted specifically in cell lysates with the coatomer, a polypeptide complex implicated in membrane traffic. Mutations that affect the ER retention capacity of the motifs also abolished binding of the coatomer. These results suggest a role for the coatomer in the retrieval of transmembrane proteins to the ER in both yeast and mammals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cosson, P -- Letourneur, F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 18;263(5153):1629-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Basel Institute for Immunology, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128252" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    RPS2 of Arabidopsis thaliana: a leucine-rich repeat class of plant disease resistance genes (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-23
    Description: Plant disease resistance genes function is highly specific pathogen recognition pathways. PRS2 is a resistance gene of Arabidopsis thaliana that confers resistance against Pseudomonas syringae bacteria that express avirulence gene avrRpt2. RPS2 was isolated by the use of a positional cloning strategy. The derived amino acid sequence of RPS2 contains leucine-rich repeat, membrane-spanning, leucine zipper, and P loop domains. The function of the RPS2 gene product in defense signal transduction is postulated to involve nucleotide triphosphate binding and protein-protein interactions and may also involve the reception of an elicitor produced by the avirulent pathogen.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bent, A F -- Kunkel, B N -- Dahlbeck, D -- Brown, K L -- Schmidt, R -- Giraudat, J -- Leung, J -- Staskawicz, B J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 23;265(5180):1856-60.〈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/8091210" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    T cell deletion in high antigen dose therapy of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-25
    Description: Encounters with antigen can stimulate T cells to become activated and proliferate, become nonresponsive to antigen, or to die. T cell death was shown to be a physiological response to interleukin-2-stimulated cell cycling and T cell receptor reengagement at high antigen doses. This feedback regulatory mechanism attenuates the immune response by deleting a portion of newly dividing, antigen-reactive T cells. This mechanism deleted autoreactive T cells and abrogated the clinical and pathological signs of autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice after repetitive administration of myelin basic protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Critchfield, J M -- Racke, M K -- Zuniga-Pflucker, J C -- Cannella, B -- Raine, C S -- Goverman, J -- Lenardo, M J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1139-43.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Immunology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious 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/7509084" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Requirement for BDNF in activity-dependent survival of cortical neurons (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-18
    Description: Cultured embryonic cortical neurons from rats were used to explore mechanisms of activity-dependent neuronal survival. Cell survival was increased by the activation of voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs) but not by activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. These effects correlated with the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) induced by these two classes of calcium channels. Antibodies to BDNF (which block intracellular signaling by BDNF, but not by nerve growth factor, NT3, or NT4/5) reduced the survival of cortical neurons and reversed the VSCC-mediated increase in survival. Thus, endogenous BDNF is a trophic factor for cortical neurons whose expression is VSCC-regulated and that functions in the VSCC-dependent survival of these neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ghosh, A -- Carnahan, J -- Greenberg, M E -- NS28829/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 18;263(5153):1618-23.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7907431" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Suppression of hyphal formation in Candida albicans by mutation of a STE12 homolog (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-09
    Description: A Candida albicans gene (CPH1) was cloned that encodes a protein homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ste12p, a transcription factor that is the target of the pheromone response mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. CPH1 complements both the mating defect of ste12 haploids and the filamentous growth defect of ste12/ste12 diploids. Candida albicans strains without a functional CPH1 gene (cph1/cph1) show suppressed hyphal formation on solid medium. However, cph1/cph1 strains can still form hyphae in liquid culture and in response to serum. Thus, filamentous growth may be activated in C. albicans by the same signaling kinase cascade that activates Ste12p in S. cerevisiae; however, alternative pathways may exist in C. albicans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, H -- Kohler, J -- Fink, G R -- GM402661/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 9;266(5191):1723-6.〈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/7992058" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Calcium-calmodulin modulation of the olfactory cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-25
    Description: Although several ion channels have been reported to be directly modulated by calcium-calmodulin, they have not been conclusively shown to bind calmodulin, nor are the modulatory mechanisms understood. Study of the olfactory cyclic nucleotide-activated cation channel, which is modulated by calcium-calmodulin, indicates that calcium-calmodulin directly binds to a specific domain on the amino terminus of the channel. This binding reduces the effective affinity of the channel for cyclic nucleotides, apparently by acting on channel gating, which is tightly coupled to ligand binding. The data reveal a control mechanism that resembles those underlying the regulation of enzymes by calmodulin. The results also point to the amino-terminal part of the olfactory channel as an element for gating, which may have general significance in the operation of ion channels with similar overall structures.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, M -- Chen, T Y -- Ahamed, B -- Li, J -- Yau, K W -- EY 06837/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 25;266(5189):1348-54.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Baltimore, MD.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7526466" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    The TATA-binding protein: a general transcription factor in eukaryotes and archaebacteria (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-27
    Description: The TATA-binding protein TBP appears to be essential for all transcription in eukaryotic cell nuclei, which suggests that its function was established early in evolution. Archaebacteria constitute a kingdom of organisms distinct from eukaryotes and eubacteria. Archaebacterial gene regulatory sequences often map to TATA box-like motifs. Here it is shown that the archaebacterium Pyrococcus woesei expresses a protein with structural and functional similarity to eukaryotic TBP molecules. This suggests that TBP's role in transcription was established before the archaebacterial and eukaryotic lineages diverged and that the transcription systems of archaebacteria and eukaryotes are fundamentally homologous.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rowlands, T -- Baumann, P -- Jackson, S P -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1326-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome/CRC Institute, Cambridge, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191287" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Interaction of MHC class I molecules with the transporter associated with antigen processing (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-27
    Description: The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) delivers cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they bind to nascent class 1 histocompatibility molecules. Class 1-peptide complexes are then displayed at the cell surface for recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Immunoprecipitation of either TAP or class 1 molecules revealed an association between the transporter and diverse class 1 products. TAP bound preferentially to heterodimers of the class 1 heavy chain and beta 2-microglobulin, and the complex subsequently dissociated in parallel with transport of class 1 molecules from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. The TAP-class 1 complexes could also be dissociated in vitro by the addition of class 1-binding peptides. The association of class 1 molecules with TAP likely promotes efficient capture of peptides before their exposure to the lumen of the ER.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Suh, W K -- Cohen-Doyle, M F -- Fruh, K -- Wang, K -- Peterson, P A -- Williams, D B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1322-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191286" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Analysis and expression of a cloned pre-T cell receptor gene (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-18
    Description: The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) beta chain regulates early T cell development in the absence of the TCR alpha chain. The developmentally controlled gene described here encodes the pre-TCR alpha (pT alpha) chain, which covalently associates with TCR beta and with the CD3 proteins forms a pre-TCR complex that transduces signals in immature thymocytes. Unlike the lambda 5 pre-B cell receptor protein, the pT alpha chain is a type I transmembrane protein whose cytoplasmic tail contains two potential phosphorylation sites and a Src homology 3 (SH3)-domain binding sequence. Pre-TCR alpha transfection experiments indicated that surface expression of the pre-TCR is controlled by additional developmentally regulated proteins. Identification of the pT alpha gene represents an essential step in the structure-function analysis of the pre-TCR complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Saint-Ruf, C -- Ungewiss, K -- Groettrup, M -- Bruno, L -- Fehling, H J -- von Boehmer, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 18;266(5188):1208-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Unite INSERM 373, Institut Necker, Paris, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973703" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Phosphorylation of the transcription factor PHO4 by a cyclin-CDK complex, PHO80-PHO85 (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-25
    Description: Induction of the yeast gene PHO5 is mediated by the transcription factors PHO2 and PHO4. PHO5 transcription is not detectable in high phosphate; it is thought that the negative regulators PHO80 and PHO85 inactivate PHO2 and PHO4. Here it is reported that PHO80 has homology to yeast cyclins and interacts with PHO85, a p34cdc2/CDC28-related protein kinase. The PHO80-PHO85 complex phosphorylates PHO4; this phosphorylation is correlated with negative regulation of PHO5. These results demonstrate the existence of a cyclin-cdk complex that is used for a regulatory process other than cell-cycle control and identify a physiologically relevant substrate for this complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaffman, A -- Herskowitz, I -- Tjian, R -- O'Shea, E K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1153-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California at San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8108735" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mapping the lectin-like activity of tumor necrosis factor (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-11
    Description: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), but not lymphotoxin (LT), is directly trypanolytic for salivarian trypanosomes. This activity was not blocked by soluble 55-kilodalton and 75-kilodalton TNF receptors, but was potently inhibited by N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, an oligosaccharide that binds TNF. Comparative sequence analysis of TNF and LT localized the trypanocidal region, and synthetic peptides were trypanolytic. TNF molecules in which the trypanocidal region was mutated or deleted retained tumoricidal activity. Thus, trypanosome-TNF interactions occur via a TNF domain, probably with lectin-like affinity, which is functionally and spatially distinct from the mammalian TNF receptor binding sites.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lucas, R -- Magez, S -- De Leys, R -- Fransen, L -- Scheerlinck, J P -- Rampelberg, M -- Sablon, E -- De Baetselier, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 11;263(5148):814-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Cellular Immunology, University of Brussels, Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303299" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Specification of pore properties by the carboxyl terminus of inwardly rectifying K+ channels (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-06
    Description: Inwardly rectifying potassium (K+) channels (IRKs) maintain the resting membrane potential of cells and permit prolonged depolarization, such as during the cardiac action potential. Inward rectification may result from block of the ion conduction pore by intracellular magnesium (Mgi2+). Two members of this family, IRK1 and ROMK1, which share 40 percent amino acid identity, differ markedly in single-channel K+ conductance and sensitivity to block by Mgi2+. The conserved H5 regions were hypothesized to determine these pore properties because they have this function in voltage-dependent K+ channels and in cyclic nucleotide-gated channels. However, exchange of the H5 region between IRK1 and ROMK1 had no effect on rectification and little or no effect on K+ conductance. By contrast, exchange of the amino- and carboxyl-terminal regions together transferred Mg2+ blockade and K+ conductance of IRK1 to ROMK1. Exchange of the carboxyl but not the amino terminus had a similar effect. Therefore, the carboxyl terminus appears to have a major role in specifying the pore properties of IRKs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Taglialatela, M -- Wible, B A -- Caporaso, R -- Brown, A M -- HL36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL37044/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS23877/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 6;264(5160):844-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171340" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-05-06
    Description: Slug, a vertebrate gene encoding a zinc finger protein of the Snail family, is expressed in the neural crest and in mesodermal cells emigrating from the primitive streak. Early chick embryos were incubated with antisense oligonucleotides to chick Slug. These oligonucleotides specifically inhibit the normal change in cell behavior that occurs at the two sites in the emerging body plan in which the gene is expressed. This change, which is the transition from epithelial to mesenchymal character, occurs at the formation of mesoderm during gastrulation and on emigration of the neutral crest from the neural tube.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nieto, M A -- Sargent, M G -- Wilkinson, D G -- Cooke, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 6;264(5160):835-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7513443" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Microtubule dynamics modulated by guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis activity of beta-tubulin (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-06
    Description: Microtubule dynamic instability underlies many cellular functions, including spindle morphogenesis and chromosome movement. The role of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis in dynamic instability was investigated by introduction of four mutations into yeast beta-tubulin at amino acids 103 to 109, a site thought to participate in GTP hydrolysis. Three of the mutations increased both the assembly-dependent rate of GTP hydrolysis and the average length of steady-state microtubules over time, a measure of dynamic instability. The fourth mutation did not substantially affect the rate of GTP hydrolysis or the steady-state microtubule lengths. These results demonstrate that the rate of GTP hydrolysis can modulate microtubule length and hence dynamic instability.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Davis, A -- Sage, C R -- Dougherty, C A -- Farrell, K W -- GM 41751/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 6;264(5160):839-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Barbara 93106.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171338" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Prevention of drug access to bacterial targets: permeability barriers and active efflux (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: Some species of bacteria have low-permeability membrane barriers and are thereby "intrinsically" resistant to many antibiotics; they are selected out in the multitude of antibiotics present in the hospital environment and thus cause many hospital-acquired infections. Some strains of originally antibiotic-susceptible species may also acquire resistance through decreases in the permeability of membrane barriers. Another mechanism for preventing access of drugs to targets is the membrane-associated energy-driven efflux, which plays a major role in drug resistance, especially in combination with the permeation barrier. Recent results indicate the existence of bacterial efflux systems of extremely broad substrate specificity, in many ways reminiscent of the multidrug resistance pump of mammalian cells. One such system seems to play a major role in the intrinsic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common opportunistic pathogen. As the pharmaceutical industry succeeds in producing agents that can overcome specific mechanisms of bacterial resistance, less specific resistance mechanisms such as permeability barriers and multidrug active efflux may become increasingly significant in the clinical setting.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nikaido, H -- AI-09644/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI-33702/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):382-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720-3206.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153625" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Description: A complex consisting of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) PHO85 and the cyclin PHO80 phosphorylates and is thought to inactivate the transcription factor PHO4 when yeast cells are grown in medium containing high concentrations of phosphate. The CDK inhibitor PHO81 inhibits the kinase activity of the PHO80-PHO85 complex when Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are grown in medium depleted of phosphate. A region of PHO81 with similarity to the mammalian CDK inhibitor p16INK4 is sufficient for inhibition in vitro. These studies demonstrate that CDK inhibitors are used to regulate kinases involved in processes other than cell cycle control and suggest that the ankyrin repeat motif may be commonly used for interaction with cyclin-CDK complexes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schneider, K R -- Smith, R L -- O'Shea, E K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):122-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939631" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Transformation of mammalian cells by constitutively active MAP kinase kinase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-12
    Description: Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MAPKK) activates MAP kinase in a signal transduction pathway that mediates cellular responses to growth and differentiation factors. Oncogenes such as ras, src, raf, and mos have been proposed to transform cells by prolonging the activated state of MAPKK and of components downstream in the signaling pathway. To test this hypothesis, constitutively active MAPKK mutants were designed that had basal activities up to 400 times greater than that of the unphosphorylated wild-type kinase. Expression of these mutants in mammalian cells activated AP-1-regulated transcription. The cells formed transformed foci, grew efficiently in soft agar, and were highly tumorigenic in nude mice.

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

    An alternative to SH2 domains for binding tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-16
    Description: Src homology 2 (SH2) domains bind specifically to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins that participate in signaling by growth factors and oncogenes. A protein domain was identified that bound specifically to the tyrosine-phosphorylated form of its target protein but differs from known SH2 sequences. Phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domains were found in two proteins: SHC, a protein implicated in signaling through Ras; and SCK, encoded by a previously uncharacterized gene. The PTB domain of SHC specifically bound to a tyrosine-phosphorylated 145-kilodalton protein. PTB domains are an alternative to SH2 domains for specifically recruiting tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins into signaling complexes and are likely to take part in signaling by many growth factors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kavanaugh, W M -- Williams, L T -- K11 HL02714/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL32898/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1862-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7527937" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-12-23
    Description: A synthetic combinatorial library containing 52,128,400 D-amino acid hexapeptides was used to identify a ligand for the mu opioid receptor. The peptide, Ac-rfwink-NH2, bears no resemblance to any known opioid peptide. Simulations using molecular dynamics, however, showed that three amino acid moieties have the same spatial orientation as the corresponding pharmacophoric groups of the opioid peptide PLO17. Ac-rfwink-NH2 was shown to be a potent agonist at the mu receptor and induced long-lasting analgesia in mice. Analgesia produced by intraperitoneally administered Ac-rfwink-NH2 was blocked by intracerebroventricular administration of naloxone, demonstrating that this peptide may cross the blood-brain barrier.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dooley, C T -- Chung, N N -- Wilkes, B C -- Schiller, P W -- Bidlack, J M -- Pasternak, G W -- Houghten, R A -- DA-000138/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- DA-02615/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- DA-03742/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 23;266(5193):2019-22.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, San Diego, CA 92121.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7801131" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Lymphotactin: a cytokine that represents a new class of chemokine (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-25
    Description: In this study, the cytokine-producing profile of progenitor T cells (pro-T cells) was determined. During screening of a complementary DNA library generated from activated mouse pro-T cells, a cytokine designated lymphotactin was discovered. Lymphotactin is similar to members of both the Cys-Cys and Cys-X-Cys chemokine families but lacks two of the four cysteine residues that are characteristic of the chemokines. Lymphotactin is also expressed in activated CD8+ T cells and CD4-CD8- T cell receptor alpha beta + thymocytes. It has chemotactic activity for lymphocytes but not for monocytes or neutrophils. The gene encoding lymphotactin maps to chromosome one. Taken together, these observations suggest that lymphotactin represents a novel addition to the chemokine superfamily.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kelner, G S -- Kennedy, J -- Bacon, K B -- Kleyensteuber, S -- Largaespada, D A -- Jenkins, N A -- Copeland, N G -- Bazan, J F -- Moore, K W -- Schall, T J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 25;266(5189):1395-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, DNAX Research Institute of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Palo Alto, CA 94304.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973732" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Publication Date: 1994-10-21
    Description: A number of bacterial protein toxins, including adenylate cyclase (AC) toxin from Bordetella pertussis, require the product of an accessory gene in order to express their biological activities. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate that activated, wild-type AC toxin was modified by amide-linked palmitoylation on the epsilon-amino group of lysine 983. This modification was absent from a mutant in which the accessory gene had been disrupted. A synthetic palmitoylated peptide corresponding to the tryptic fragment (glutamine 972 to arginine 984) that contained the acylation blocked AC toxin-induced accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, whereas the non-acylated peptide had no effect.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hackett, M -- Guo, L -- Shabanowitz, J -- Hunt, D F -- Hewlett, E L -- DK38942/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM37537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R0-1 AI18000/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):433-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22901.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939682" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cloning of a Grb2 isoform with apoptotic properties (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-13
    Description: Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) links tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins to a guanine nucleotide releasing factor of the son of sevenless (Sos) class by attaching to the former by its Src homology 2 (SH2) moiety and to the latter by its SH3 domains. An isoform of grb2 complementary DNA (cDNA) was cloned that has a deletion in the SH2 domain. The protein encoded by this cDNA, Grb3-3, did not bind to phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) but retained functional SH3 domains and inhibited EGF-induced transactivation of a Ras-responsive element. The messenger RNA encoding Grb3-3 was expressed in high amounts in the thymus of rats at an age when massive negative selection of thymocytes occurs. Microinjection of Grb3-3 into Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts induced apoptosis. These findings indicate that Grb3-3, by acting as a dominant negative protein over Grb2 and by suppressing proliferative signals, may trigger active programmed cell death.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fath, I -- Schweighoffer, F -- Rey, I -- Multon, M C -- Boiziau, J -- Duchesne, M -- Tocque, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):971-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Centre de Recherche de Vitry-Alfortville, Vitry sur Seine, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8178156" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

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

    Involvement of the IRF-1 transcription factor in antiviral responses to interferons (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-24
    Description: The mechanisms underlying interferon (IFN)-induced antiviral states are not well understood. Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is an IFN-inducible transcriptional activator, whereas IRF-2 suppresses IRF-1 action. The inhibition of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) replication by IFN-alpha and especially by IFN-gamma was impaired in cells from mice with a null mutation in the IRF-1 gene (IRF-1-/- mice). The IRF-1-/- mice were less resistant than normal mice to EMCV infection, as revealed by accelerated mortality and a larger virus titer in target organs. The absence of IRF-1 did not clearly affect replication of two other types of viruses. Thus, IRF-1 is necessary for the antiviral action of IFNs against some viruses, but IFNs activate multiple activation pathways through diverse target genes to induce the antiviral state.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kimura, T -- Nakayama, K -- Penninger, J -- Kitagawa, M -- Harada, H -- Matsuyama, T -- Tanaka, N -- Kamijo, R -- Vilcek, J -- Mak, T W -- R35CA49731/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1921-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Molecular and Cellular Biology, Osaka University, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8009222" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Description: An elastomeric stamp, containing defined features on the micrometer scale, was used to imprint gold surfaces with specific patterns of self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols and, thereby, to create islands of defined shape and size that support extracellular matrix protein adsorption and cell attachment. Through this technique, it was possible to place cells in predetermined locations and arrays, separated by defined distances, and to dictate their shape. Limiting the degree of cell extension provided control over cell growth and protein secretion. This method is experimentally simple and highly adaptable. It should be useful for applications in biotechnology that require analysis of individual cells cultured at high density or repeated access to cells placed in specified locations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Singhvi, R -- Kumar, A -- Lopez, G P -- Stephanopoulos, G N -- Wang, D I -- Whitesides, G M -- Ingber, D E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):696-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biotechnology Processing Engineering Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171320" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Chemical sequence control of beta-sheet assembly in macromolecular crystals of periodic polypeptides (1994)

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

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

    14-3-3 protein homologs required for the DNA damage checkpoint in fission yeast (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-22
    Description: During the cell cycle, DNA is replicated and segregated equally into two daughter cells. The DNA damage checkpoint ensures that DNA damage is repaired before mitosis is attempted. Genetic studies of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have identified two genes, rad24 and rad25, that are required for this checkpoint. These genes encode 14-3-3 protein homologs that together provide a function that is essential for cell proliferation. In addition, S. pombe rad24 null mutants, and to a lesser extent rad25 null mutants, enter mitosis prematurely, which indicates that 14-3-3 proteins have a role in determining the timing of mitosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ford, J C -- al-Khodairy, F -- Fotou, E -- Sheldrick, K S -- Griffiths, D J -- Carr, A M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 22;265(5171):533-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Centre, King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036497" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Homology of the eyeless gene of Drosophila to the Small eye gene in mice and Aniridia in humans (1994)

    Publication Date: 1994-08-05
    Description: A Drosophila gene that contains both a paired box and a homeobox and has extensive sequence homology to the mouse Pax-6 (Small eye) gene was isolated and mapped to chromosome IV in a region close to the eyeless locus. Two spontaneous mutations, ey2 and eyR, contain transposable element insertions into the cloned gene and affect gene expression, particularly in the eye primordia. This indicates that the cloned gene encodes ey. The finding that ey of Drosophila, Small eye of the mouse, and human Aniridia are encoded by homologous genes suggests that eye morphogenesis is under similar genetic control in both vertebrates and insects, in spite of the large differences in eye morphology and mode of development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Quiring, R -- Walldorf, U -- Kloter, U -- Gehring, W J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 5;265(5173):785-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, University of Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7914031" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A strong candidate for the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-07
    Description: A strong candidate for the 17q-linked BRCA1 gene, which influences susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer, has been identified by positional cloning methods. Probable predisposing mutations have been detected in five of eight kindreds presumed to segregate BRCA1 susceptibility alleles. The mutations include an 11-base pair deletion, a 1-base pair insertion, a stop codon, a missense substitution, and an inferred regulatory mutation. The BRCA1 gene is expressed in numerous tissues, including breast and ovary, and encodes a predicted protein of 1863 amino acids. This protein contains a zinc finger domain in its amino-terminal region, but is otherwise unrelated to previously described proteins. Identification of BRCA1 should facilitate early diagnosis of breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility in some individuals as well as a better understanding of breast cancer biology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Miki, Y -- Swensen, J -- Shattuck-Eidens, D -- Futreal, P A -- Harshman, K -- Tavtigian, S -- Liu, Q -- Cochran, C -- Bennett, L M -- Ding, W -- CA-48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-54936/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-55914/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):66-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Informatics, University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City 84132.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7545954" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide, INH) is one of the most widely used antituberculosis drugs, yet its precise target of action on Mycobacterium tuberculosis is unknown. A missense mutation within the mycobacterial inhA gene was shown to confer resistance to both INH and ethionamide (ETH) in M. smegmatis and in M. bovis. The wild-type inhA gene also conferred INH and ETH resistance when transferred on a multicopy plasmid vector to M. smegmatis and M. bovis BCG. The InhA protein shows significant sequence conservation with the Escherichia coli enzyme EnvM, and cell-free assays indicate that it may be involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis. These results suggest that InhA is likely a primary target of action for INH and ETH.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Banerjee, A -- Dubnau, E -- Quemard, A -- Balasubramanian, V -- Um, K S -- Wilson, T -- Collins, D -- de Lisle, G -- Jacobs, W R Jr -- AI27160/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- UO1AI30189/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 14;263(5144):227-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY 10461.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8284673" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A phage display system was developed and used to select zinc finger proteins with altered DNA-binding specificities. The three zinc fingers of the Zif268 protein were expressed on the surface of filamentous phage, and a library of variants was prepared by randomizing critical amino acids in the first zinc finger. Affinity selections, using DNA sites with base changes in the region recognized by the first finger, yielded Zif268 variants that bound tightly and specifically to the new sites. This phage system provides a tool for the study of protein-DNA interactions and may offer a general method for selecting zinc finger proteins that recognize desired target sites on double-stranded DNA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rebar, E J -- Pabo, C O -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 4;263(5147):671-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8303274" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Activation of Raf as a result of recruitment to the plasma membrane (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-03
    Description: The small guanine nucleotide binding protein Ras participates in a growth promoting signal transduction pathway. The mechanism by which interaction of Ras with the protein kinase Raf leads to activation of Raf was studied. Raf was targeted to the plasma membrane by addition of the COOH-terminal localization signals of K-ras. This modified form of Raf (RafCAAX) was activated to the same extent as Raf coexpressed with oncogenic mutant Ras. Plasma membrane localization rather than farnesylation or the presence of the additional COOH-terminal sequence accounted for the activation of RafCAAX. The activation of RafCAAX was completely independent of Ras; it was neither potentiated by oncogenic mutant Ras nor abrogated by dominant negative Ras. Raf, once recruited to the plasma membrane, was not anchored there by Ras; most activated Raf in cells was associated with plasma membrane cytoskeletal elements, not the lipid bilayer. Thus, Ras functions in the activation of Raf by recruiting Raf to the plasma membrane where a separate, Ras-independent, activation of Raf occurs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stokoe, D -- Macdonald, S G -- Cadwallader, K -- Symons, M -- Hancock, J F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 3;264(5164):1463-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉ONXY Pharmaceuticals, Richmond, CA 94806.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7811320" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A protein phosphatase was cloned that interacts with a serine-threonine receptor-like kinase, RLK5, from Arabidopsis thaliana. The phosphatase, designated KAPP (kinase-associated protein phosphatase), is composed of three domains: an amino-terminal signal anchor, a kinase interaction (KI) domain, and a type 2C protein phosphatase catalytic region. Association of RLK5 with the KI domain is dependent on phosphorylation of RLK5 and can be abolished by dephosphorylation. KAPP may function as a signaling component in a pathway involving RLK5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stone, J M -- Collinge, M A -- Smith, R D -- Horn, M A -- Walker, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):793-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, University of Missouri-Columbia 65211.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973632" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An osmosensing signal transduction pathway in mammalian cells (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-05
    Description: The osmotic balance between the cytoplasmic and extracellular compartments of cells is critical for the control of cell volume. A mammalian protein kinase, Jnk, which is a distant relative of the mitogen-activated protein kinase group, was activated by phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine in osmotically shocked cells. The activation of Jnk may be relevant to the biological response to osmotic shock because the expression of human Jnk in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae rescued a defect in growth on hyper-osmolar media. These data indicate that related protein kinases may mediate osmosensing signal transduction in yeast and mammalian cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Galcheva-Gargova, Z -- Derijard, B -- Wu, I H -- Davis, R J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 5;265(5173):806-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester 01605.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8047888" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Crystal structures at 2.5 angstrom resolution of seryl-tRNA synthetase complexed with two analogs of seryl adenylate (1994)

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

    Control of topographic retinal axon branching by inhibitory membrane-bound molecules (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-05
    Description: Retinotopic map development in nonmammalian vertebrates appears to be controlled by molecules that guide or restrict retinal axons to correct locations in their targets. However, the retinotopic map in the superior colliculus (SC) of the rat is developed instead by a topographic bias in collateral branching and arborization. Temporal retinal axons extending across alternating membranes from the topographically correct rostral SC or the incorrect caudal SC of embryonic rats preferentially branch on rostral membranes. Branching preference is due to an inhibitory phosphatidylinositol-linked molecule in the caudal SC. Thus, position-encoding membrane-bound molecules may establish retinotopic maps in mammals by regulating axon branching, not by directing axon growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Roskies, A L -- O'Leary, D D -- NEI RO1 EY07025/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 5;265(5173):799-803.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8047886" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Pf1 virus structure: helical coat protein and DNA with paraxial phosphates (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-29
    Description: The helical path of the DNA in filamentous bacteriophage Pf1 was deduced from different kinds of existing structural information, including results from x-ray fiber diffraction. The DNA has the same pitch, 16 angstroms, as the surrounding helix of protein subunits; the rise and rotation per nucleotides are 6.1 angstroms and 132 degrees, respectively; and the phosphates are 2.5 angstroms from the axis. The DNA in Pf1 is, therefore, the most extended and twisted DNA structure known. On the basis of the DNA structure and extensive additional information about the protein, a model of the virion is proposed. In the model, the DNA bases reach out, into the protein, and the lysine and arginine side chains reach in, between the DNA bases, to stabilize the paraxial phosphate charges; the conformation of the protein subunit is a combination of alpha and 3(10) helices.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, D J -- Day, L A -- GM42286/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 29;265(5172):671-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Public Health Research Institute, New York, NY 10016.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036516" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A line of transgenic mice was generated that contains an insertional mutation causing a phenotype similar to human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Homozygotes displayed a complex phenotype that included bilateral polycystic kidneys and an unusual liver lesion. The mutant locus was cloned and characterized through use of the transgene as a molecular marker. Additionally, a candidate polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gene was identified whose structure and expression are directly associated with the mutant locus. A complementary DNA derived from this gene predicted a peptide containing a motif that was originally identified in several genes involved in cell cycle control.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moyer, J H -- Lee-Tischler, M J -- Kwon, H Y -- Schrick, J J -- Avner, E D -- Sweeney, W E -- Godfrey, V L -- Cacheiro, N L -- Wilkinson, J E -- Woychik, R P -- IAG 222Y01-ES-10067/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK45633-01/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD25323/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1329-33.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉University of Tennessee Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Biology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN 37831-8077.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191288" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Gh: a GTP-binding protein with transglutaminase activity and receptor signaling function (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-10
    Description: The alpha 1-adrenergic receptors activate a phospholipase C enzyme by coupling to members of the large molecular size (approximately 74 to 80 kilodaltons) G alpha h family of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins. Rat liver G alpha h is now shown to be a tissue transglutaminase type II (TGase II). The transglutaminase activity of rat liver TGase II expressed in COS-1 cells was inhibited by the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) or by alpha 1-adrenergic receptor activation. Rat liver TGase II also mediated alpha 1-adrenergic receptor stimulation of phospholipase C activity. Thus, G alpha h represents a new class of GTP-binding proteins that participate in receptor signaling and may be a component of a complex regulatory network in which receptor-stimulated GTP binding switches the function of G alpha h from transglutamination to receptor signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nakaoka, H -- Perez, D M -- Baek, K J -- Das, T -- Husain, A -- Misono, K -- Im, M J -- Graham, R M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 10;264(5165):1593-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cardiovascular Biology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, OH 44195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7911253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Publication Date: 1994-06-10
    Description: T cell-mediated suppression is an established phenomenon, but its underlying mechanisms are obscure. An in vitro system was used to test the possibility that anergic T cells can act as specific suppressor cells. Anergic human T cells caused inhibition of antigen-specific and allospecific T cell proliferation. In order for the inhibition to occur, the anergic T cells had to be specific for the same antigen-presenting cells (APCs) as the T cells that were suppressed. The mechanism of this suppression appears to be competition for the APC surface and for locally produced interleukin-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lombardi, G -- Sidhu, S -- Batchelor, R -- Lechler, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 10;264(5165):1587-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8202711" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: An efficient system was developed that induced the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into blood cells of erythroid, myeloid, and B cell lineages by coculture with the stromal cell line OP9. This cell line does not express functional macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The presence of M-CSF had inhibitory effects on the differentiation of ES cells to blood cells other than macrophages. Embryoid body formation or addition of exogenous growth factors was not required, and differentiation was highly reproducible even after the selection of ES cells with the antibiotic G418. Combined with the ability to genetically manipulate ES cells, this system will facilitate the study of molecular mechanisms involved in development and differentiation of hematopoietic cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nakano, T -- Kodama, H -- Honjo, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 19;265(5175):1098-101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Kyoto University Yoshida, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8066449" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    High-resolution solution structure of the beta chemokine hMIP-1 beta by multidimensional NMR (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-25
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of a member of the beta subfamily of chemokines, human macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (hMIP-1 beta), has been determined with the use of solution multidimensional heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Human MIP-1 beta is a symmetric homodimer with a relative molecular mass of approximately 16 kilodaltons. The structure of the hMIP-1 beta monomer is similar to that of the related alpha chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). However, the quaternary structures of the two proteins are entirely distinct, and the dimer interface is formed by a completely different set of residues. Whereas the IL-8 dimer is globular, the hMIP-1 beta dimer is elongated and cylindrical. This provides a rational explanation for the absence of cross-binding and reactivity between the alpha and beta chemokine subfamilies. Calculation of the solvation free energies of dimerization suggests that the formation and stabilization of the two different types of dimers arise from the burial of hydrophobic residues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lodi, P J -- Garrett, D S -- Kuszewski, J -- Tsang, M L -- Weatherbee, J A -- Leonard, W J -- Gronenborn, A M -- Clore, G M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1762-7.〈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/8134838" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Differential effects of apolipoproteins E3 and E4 on neuronal growth in vitro (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-06
    Description: Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), one of the three common isoforms of apoE, has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The effects of apoE on neuronal growth were determined in cultures of dorsal root ganglion neurons. In the presence of beta-migrating very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL), apoE3 increased neurite outgrowth, whereas apoE4 decreased outgrowth. The effects of apoE3 or apoE4 in the presence of beta-VLDL were prevented by incubation with a monoclonal antibody to apoE or by reductive methylation of apoE, both of which block the ability of apoE to interact with lipoprotein receptors. The data suggest that receptor-mediated binding or internalization (or both) of apoE-enriched beta-VLDL leads to isoform-specific differences in interactions with cellular proteins that affect neurite outgrowth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nathan, B P -- Bellosta, S -- Sanan, D A -- Weisgraber, K H -- Mahley, R W -- Pitas, R E -- HL 41633/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 6;264(5160):850-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, University of California, San Francisco 94141-9100.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171342" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-16
    Description: Plants contain most of the growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in conjugated forms believed to be inactive in promoting growth. The iaglu gene, which controls the first step in the biosynthesis of the IAA conjugates of Zea mays, encodes (uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucose:indol-3-ylacetyl)-beta-D-glucosyl transferase. Protein synthesized by Escherichia coli that contained cloned 1-O-beta-D-indol-3-ylacetyl-glucose complementary DNA (cDNA) was catalytically active. The predicted amino acid sequence of the cDNA was confirmed by amino-terminal sequencing of the purified enzyme. Homologous nucleotide sequences were found in all plants tested. The blockage or enhancement of iaglu expression may permit regulation of plant growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Szerszen, J B -- Szczyglowski, K -- Bandurski, R S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 16;265(5179):1699-701.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Michigan State University, East Lansing 48824.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8085154" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Control of angiogenesis in fibroblasts by p53 regulation of thrombospondin-1 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-09
    Description: As normal cells progress toward malignancy, they must switch to an angiogenic phenotype to attract the nourishing vasculature that they depend on for their growth. In cultured fibroblasts from Li-Fraumeni patients, this switch was found to coincide with loss of the wild-type allele of the p53 tumor suppressor gene and to be the result of reduced expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Transfection assays revealed that p53 can stimulate the endogenous TSP-1 gene and positively regulate TSP-1 promoter sequences. These data indicate that, in fibroblasts, wild-type p53 inhibits angiogenesis through regulation of TSP-1 synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dameron, K M -- Volpert, O V -- Tainsky, M A -- Bouck, N -- CA52750/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA64239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA34936/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 9;265(5178):1582-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology-Immunology, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, IL 60611.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7521539" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Formation of a monomeric DNA binding domain by Skn-1 bZIP and homeodomain elements (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-28
    Description: Maternally expressed Skn-1 protein is required for the correct specification of certain blastomere fates in early Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. Skn-1 contains a basic region similar to those of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins but, paradoxically, it lacks a leucine zipper dimerization segment. Random sequence selection methods were used to show that Skn-1 binds to specific DNA sequences as a monomer. The Skn-1 basic region lies at the carboxyl terminus of an 85-amino acid domain that binds preferentially to a bZIP half-site and also recognizes adjacent 5' AT-rich sequences in the minor groove, apparently with an amino (NH2)-terminal "arm" related to those of homeodomain proteins. The intervening residues appear to stabilize interactions of these two subdomains with DNA. The Skn-1 DNA binding domain thus represents an alternative strategy for promoting binding of a basic region segment recognition helix to its cognate half-site. The results point to an underlying modularity in subdomains within established DNA binding domains.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Blackwell, T K -- Bowerman, B -- Priess, J R -- Weintraub, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 28;266(5185):621-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Basic Sciences, 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/7939715" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inactivation of antibiotics and the dissemination of resistance genes (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is a phenomenon of concern to the clinician and the pharmaceutical industry, as it is the major cause of failure in the treatment of infectious diseases. The most common mechanism of resistance in pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics of the aminoglycoside, beta-lactam (penicillins and cephalosporins), and chloramphenicol types involves the enzymic inactivation of the antibiotic by hydrolysis or by formation of inactive derivatives. Such resistance determinants most probably were acquired by pathogenic bacteria from a pool of resistance genes in other microbial genera, including antibiotic-producing organisms. The resistance gene sequences were subsequently integrated by site-specific recombination into several classes of naturally occurring gene expression cassettes (typically "integrons") and disseminated within the microbial population by a variety of gene transfer mechanisms. Although bacterial conjugation once was believed to be restricted in host range, it now appears that this mechanism of transfer permits genetic exchange between many different bacterial genera in nature.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Davies, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):375-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153624" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Synthesis of proteins by native chemical ligation (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-04
    Description: A simple technique has been devised that allows the direct synthesis of native backbone proteins of moderate size. Chemoselective reaction of two unprotected peptide segments gives an initial thioester-linked species. Spontaneous rearrangement of this transient intermediate yields a full-length product with a native peptide bond at the ligation site. The utility of native chemical ligation was demonstrated by the one-step preparation of a cytokine containing multiple disulfides. The polypeptide ligation product was folded and oxidized to form the native disulfide-containing protein molecule. Native chemical ligation is an important step toward the general application of chemistry to proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dawson, P E -- Muir, T W -- Clark-Lewis, I -- Kent, S B -- GM 50969-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM48870-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM48897-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 4;266(5186):776-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973629" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-07-08
    Description: Human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) class I proteins of the major histocompatibility complex are largely dependent for expression on small peptides supplied to them by transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) protein. An inherited human deficiency in the TAP transporter was identified in two siblings suffering from recurrent respiratory bacterial infections. The expression on the cell surface of class I proteins was very low, whereas that of CD1a was normal, and the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells was affected. In addition, CD8+ alpha beta T cells were present in low but significant numbers and were cytotoxic in the most severely affected sibling, who also showed an increase in CD4+CD8+ T cells and gamma delta T cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉de la Salle, H -- Hanau, D -- Fricker, D -- Urlacher, A -- Kelly, A -- Salamero, J -- Powis, S H -- Donato, L -- Bausinger, H -- Laforet, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 8;265(5169):237-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire d'Histocompatibilite, Centre Regional de Transfusion Sanguine, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7517574" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Ability of HIV to promote a TH1 to TH0 shift and to replicate preferentially in TH2 and TH0 cells (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-08
    Description: Both interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) produced by T helper 1 (TH1) lymphocytes and interleukin-4 (IL-4) produced by TH2 lymphocytes were reduced in either bulk circulating mononuclear cells or mitogen-induced CD4+ T cell clones from the peripheral blood of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There was a preferential reduction in clones producing IL-4 and IL-5 in the advanced phases of infection. However, enhanced proportions of CD4+ T cell clones producing both TH1-type and TH2-type cytokines (TH0 clones) were generated from either skin-infiltrating T cells that had been activated in vivo or peripheral blood T cells stimulated by antigen in vitro when cells were isolated from HIV-infected individuals. All TH2 and most TH0 clones supported viral replication, although viral replication was not detected in any of the TH1 clones infected in vitro with HIV. These results suggest that HIV (i) does not induce a definite TH1 to TH2 switch, but can favor a shift to the TH0 phenotype in response to recall antigens, and (ii) preferentially replicates in CD4+ T cells producing TH2-type cytokines (TH2 and TH0).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maggi, E -- Mazzetti, M -- Ravina, A -- Annunziato, F -- de Carli, M -- Piccinni, M P -- Manetti, R -- Carbonari, M -- Pesce, A M -- del Prete, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 8;265(5169):244-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, University of Florence, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023142" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-07-15
    Description: An influenza virus matrix peptide in which either the charged amino or carboxyl terminus was substituted by methyl groups promoted folding of the class I human histocompatibility antigen (HLA-A2). A peptide modified at both termini did not promote stable folding. The thermal stability of HLA-A2 complexed with peptides that did not have either terminus was approximately 22 degrees C lower than that of the control peptide, whereas matrix peptide in which both anchor positions were substituted by alanines had its stability decreased by only 5.5 degrees C. Thus, the conserved major histocompatibility complex class I residues at both ends of the peptide binding site form energetically important sites for binding the termini of short peptides.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bouvier, M -- Wiley, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 15;265(5170):398-402.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023162" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Differential complementation of Bcr-Abl point mutants with c-Myc (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-15
    Description: A complementation strategy was developed to define the signaling pathways activated by the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. Transformation inactive point mutants of Bcr-Abl were tested for complementation with c-Myc. Single point mutations in the Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain, the major tyrosine autophosphorylation site of the kinase domain, and the Grb-2 binding site in the Bcr region impaired the transformation of fibroblasts by Bcr-Abl. Hyperexpression of c-Myc efficiently restored transformation activity only to the Bcr-Abl SH2 mutant. These data support a model in which Bcr-Abl activates at least two independent pathways for transformation. This strategy may be useful for discerning signaling pathways activated by other oncogenes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Afar, D E -- Goga, A -- McLaughlin, J -- Witte, O N -- Sawyers, C L -- CA 01551/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 53867/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 15;264(5157):424-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of California-Los Angeles 90024-1489.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8153630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Components of the protein import machinery of the chloroplast were isolated by a procedure in which the import machinery was engaged in vitro with a tagged import substrate under conditions that yielded largely chloroplast envelope-bound import intermediates. Subsequent detergent solubilization of envelope membranes showed that six envelope polypeptides copurified specifically and, apparently, stoichiometrically with the import intermediates. Four of these polypeptides are components of the outer membrane import machinery and are associated with early import intermediates. Two of these polypeptides have been characterized. One is a homolog of the heat shock protein hsp70; the other one is a channel-protein candidate.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schnell, D J -- Kessler, F -- Blobel, G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1007-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, Newark 07102.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973649" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    c-Fos: a key regulator of osteoclast-macrophage lineage determination and bone remodeling (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-21
    Description: Mice lacking the proto-oncogene c-fos develop the bone disease osteopetrosis. Fos mutant mice were found to have a block in the differentiation of bone-resorbing osteoclasts that was intrinsic to hematopoietic cells. Bone marrow transplantation rescued the osteopetrosis, and ectopic c-fos expression overcame this differentiation block. The lack of Fos also caused a lineage shift between osteoclasts and macrophages that resulted in increased numbers of bone marrow macrophages. These results identify Fos as a key regulator of osteoclast-macrophage lineage determination in vivo and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic bone diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grigoriadis, A E -- Wang, Z Q -- Cecchini, M G -- Hofstetter, W -- Felix, R -- Fleisch, H A -- Wagner, E F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):443-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Vienna, Austria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939685" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Positive and negative thymocyte selection induced by different concentrations of a single peptide (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-18
    Description: T lymphocyte maturation is dependent on interactions between the T cell receptor (TCR) expressed on the developing thymocyte and intrathymic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide ligands. The relation between the peptide-MHC complex that results in negative or positive selection has not been identified. Here, the requirements for the maturation of thymocytes expressing a defined transgenic TCR specific for a viral peptide are studied in fetal thymic organ culture. Low concentrations of the viral peptide antigen recognized by this transgenic TCR can mediate positive selection, whereas high concentrations result in thymocyte tolerance. These findings support the affinity-avidity model of thymocyte selection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sebzda, E -- Wallace, V A -- Mayer, J -- Yeung, R S -- Mak, T W -- Ohashi, P S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 18;263(5153):1615-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Ontario Cancer Institute, Department of Medical Biophysics, Toronto, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128249" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Slow repair of pyrimidine dimers at p53 mutation hotspots in skin cancer (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: Ultraviolet light has been linked with the development of human skin cancers. Such cancers often exhibit mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze at nucleotide resolution the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers along the p53 gene in ultraviolet-irradiated human fibroblasts. Repair rates at individual nucleotides were highly variable and sequence-dependent. Slow repair was seen at seven of eight positions frequently mutated in skin cancer, suggesting that repair efficiency may strongly contribute to the mutation spectrum in a cancer-associated gene.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tornaletti, S -- Pfeifer, G P -- ES06070/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1436-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Beckman Rsearch Institute of the City of Hope, Department of Biology, Duarte, CA 91010.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128225" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Protein-protein interactions contributing to the specificity of intracellular vesicular trafficking (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-02-25
    Description: Intracellular vesicles destined to fuse with the plasma membrane and secrete their contents must have a mechanism for specifically interacting with the appropriate target membrane. Such a mechanism is now suggested by the demonstration of specific interaction between vesicular proteins and plasma membrane proteins. The vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) 1 and 2 specifically bind the acceptor membrane proteins syntaxin 1A and 4 but not syntaxin 2 or 3. The binding site is within amino acids 194 to 267 of syntaxin 1A, and the approximate equilibrium dissociation constants is 4.7 x 10(-6) molar. These data suggest a physical basis for the specificity of intracellular vesicular transport.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Calakos, N -- Bennett, M K -- Peterson, K E -- Scheller, R H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1146-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stanford University Medical Center, CA 94305.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8108733" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Soluble beta-amyloid induction of Alzheimer's phenotype for human fibroblast K+ channels (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-08
    Description: Although beta-amyloid is the main constituent of neurite plaques and may play a role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, mechanisms by which soluble beta-amyloid might produce early symptoms such as memory loss before diffuse plaque deposition have not been implicated. Treatment of fibroblasts with beta-amyloid (10 nM) induced the same potassium channel dysfunction previously shown to occur specifically in fibroblasts from patients with Alzheimer's disease--namely, the absence of a 113-picosiemen potassium channel. A tetraethylammonium-induced increase of intracellular concentrations of calcium, [Ca2+]i, a response that depends on functional 113-picosiemen potassium channels, was also eliminated or markedly reduced by 10 nM beta-amyloid. Increased [Ca2+]i induced by high concentrations of extracellular potassium and 166-picosiemen potassium channels were unaffected by 10 nM beta-amyloid. In Alzheimer's disease, then, beta-amyloid might alter potassium channels and thus impair neuronal function to produce symptoms such as memory loss by a means other than plaque formation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Etcheberrigaray, R -- Ito, E -- Kim, C S -- Alkon, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 8;264(5156):276-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Adaptive Systems, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8146663" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Ribosomal heterogeneity from chromatin diminution in Ascaris lumbricoides (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-12
    Description: The genome of Ascaris lumbricoides encodes both germline- and soma-specific proteins homologous to the eukaryotic small ribosomal protein (Rp) S19. The two Ascaris homologs differ by 24 amino acid substitutions and are both components of the small ribosomal subunits. In oocytes, the germline RpS19 homolog (RpS19G) predominates. During chromatin diminution, however, the gene is eliminated from all presomatic cells, and RpS19G is replaced by the product of the somatic gene (RpS19S). Chromatin diminution in A. lumbricoides causes a change in the protein composition of ribosomes during development and represents an alternative means of gene regulation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Etter, A -- Bernard, V -- Kenzelmann, M -- Tobler, H -- Muller, F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 12;265(5174):954-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Zoology, University of Fribourg, Perolles, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8052853" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Pattern formation and eyespot determination in butterfly wings (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-01
    Description: Butterfly wings display pattern elements of many types and colors. To identify the molecular processes underlying the generation of these patterns, several butterfly cognates of Drosophila appendage patterning genes have been cloned and their expression patterns have been analyzed. Butterfly wing patterns are organized by two spatial coordinate systems. One system specifies positional information with respect to the entire wing field and is conserved between fruit flies and butterflies. A second system, superimposed on the general system and involving several of the same genes, operates within each wing subdivision to elaborate discrete pattern elements. Eyespots, which form from discrete developmental organizers, are marked by Distal-less gene expression. These circular pattern elements appear to be generated by a process similar to, and perhaps evolved from, proximodistal pattern formation in insect appendages.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carroll, S B -- Gates, J -- Keys, D N -- Paddock, S W -- Panganiban, G E -- Selegue, J E -- Williams, J A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 1;265(5168):109-14.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Madison, WI.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7912449" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Two binding orientations for peptides to the Src SH3 domain: development of a general model for SH3-ligand interactions (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-11-18
    Description: Solution structures of two Src homology 3 (SH3) domain-ligand complexes have been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. Each complex consists of the SH3 domain and a nine-residue proline-rich peptide selected from a large library of ligands prepared by combinatorial synthesis. The bound ligands adopt a left-handed polyproline type II (PPII) helix, although the amino to carboxyl directionalities of their helices are opposite. The peptide orientation is determined by a salt bridge formed by the terminal arginine residues of the ligands and the conserved aspartate-99 of the SH3 domain. Residues at positions 3, 4, 6, and 7 of both peptides also intercalate into the ligand-binding site; however, the respective proline and nonproline residues show exchanged binding positions in the two complexes. These structural results led to a model for the interactions of SH3 domains with proline-rich peptides that can be used to predict critical residues in complexes of unknown structure. The model was used to identify correctly both the binding orientation and the contact and noncontact residues of a peptide derived from the nucleotide exchange factor Sos in association with the amino-terminal SH3 domain of the adaptor protein Grb2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Feng, S -- Chen, J K -- Yu, H -- Simon, J A -- Schreiber, S L -- GM44993/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 18;266(5188):1241-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 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/7526465" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

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

    Aberrant neurites and synaptic vesicle protein deficiency in synapsin II-depleted neurons (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-13
    Description: Synapsin I and synapsin II are neuron-specific phosphoproteins that have a role in the regulation of neurotransmitter release and in the formation of nerve terminals. After depletion of synapsin II by antisense oligonucleotides, rat hippocampal neurons in culture were unable to consolidate their minor processes and did not elongate axons. These aberrant morphological changes were accompanied by an abnormal distribution of intracellular filamentous actin (F-actin). In addition, synapsin II suppression resulted in a selective decrease in the amounts of several synaptic vesicle-associated proteins. These data suggest that synapsin II participates in cytoskeletal organization during the early stages of nerve cell development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ferreira, A -- Kosik, K S -- Greengard, P -- Han, H Q -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):977-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurological Diseases, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8178158" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sea urchin egg receptor for sperm: sequence similarity of binding domain and hsp70 (1993)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-03-05
    Description: Fertilization depends on cell surface recognition proteins that interact and thereby mediate binding and subsequent fusion of the sperm and egg. Overlapping complementary DNA's encoding the egg plasma membrane receptor for sperm from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus were cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the deduced primary structure suggests that the receptor is a transmembrane protein with a short cytoplasmic domain. This domain showed no sequence similarity to known protein sequences. In contrast, the extracellular, sperm binding domain of the receptor did show sequence similarity to the heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) family of proteins. Recombinant protein representing this portion of the receptor bound to the sperm protein, binding, and also inhibited fertilization in a species-specific manner; beads coated with the protein became specifically bound to acrosome-reacted sperm. These data provide a basis for detailed investigations of molecular interactions that occur in gamete recognition and egg activation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Foltz, K R -- Partin, J S -- Lennarz, W J -- HD18590/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Mar 5;259(5100):1421-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Barbara 93106.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8383878" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Role of intracellular calcium in NI-35-evoked collapse of neuronal growth cones (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-01-01
    Description: A myelin-associated protein from the central nervous system, the neurite growth inhibitor NI-35, inhibits regeneration of lesioned neuronal fiber tracts in vivo and growth of neurites in vitro. Growth cones of cultured rat dorsal root ganglion neurons arrested their growth and collapsed when exposed to liposomes containing NI-35. Before morphological changes, the concentration of free intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) showed a rapid and large increase in growth cones exposed to liposomes containing NI-35. Neither an increase in [Ca2+]i nor collapse of growth cones was detected in the presence of antibodies to NI-35. Dantrolene, an inhibitor of calcium release from caffeine-sensitive intracellular calcium stores, protected growth cones from collapse evoked by NI-35. Depletion of these caffeine-sensitive intracellular calcium stores prevented the increase in [Ca2+]i evoked by NI-35. The NI-35-evoked cascade of intracellular messengers that mediates collapse of growth cones includes the crucial step of calcium release from intracellular stores.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bandtlow, C E -- Schmidt, M F -- Hassinger, T D -- Schwab, M E -- Kater, S B -- NS24683/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS28323/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Jan 1;259(5091):80-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Brain Research Institute, University of Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8418499" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Transcription factor TFIIB sites important for interaction with promoter-bound TFIID (1993)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-07-23
    Description: Transcription initiation factor TFIIB recruits RNA polymerase II to the promoter subsequent to interaction with a preformed TFIID-promoter complex. The domains of TFIIB required for binding to the TFIID-promoter complex and for transcription initiation have been determined. The carboxyl-terminal two-thirds of TFIIB, which contains two direct repeats and two basic residue repeats, is sufficient for interaction with the TFIID-promoter complex. An extra 84-residue amino-terminal region, with no obvious known structural motifs, is required for basal transcription activity. Basic residues within the second basic repeat of TFIIB are necessary for stable interaction with the TFIID-promoter complex, whereas the basic character of the first basic repeat is not. Functional roles of other potential structural motifs are discussed in light of the present study.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yamashita, S -- Hisatake, K -- Kokubo, T -- Doi, K -- Roeder, R G -- Horikoshi, M -- Nakatani, Y -- AI27397/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA42567/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM45258/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Jul 23;261(5120):463-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8332911" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Origin recognition complex (ORC) in transcriptional silencing and DNA replication in S. cerevisiae (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-12-17
    Description: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the HMR-E silencer blocks site-specific interactions between proteins and their recognition sequences in the vicinity of the silencer. Silencer function is correlated with the firing of an origin of replication at HMR-E. An essential gene with a role in transcriptional silencing was identified by means of a screen for mutations affecting expression of HMR. This gene, known as ORC2, was shown to encode a component of the origin recognition complex that binds yeast origins of replication. A temperature-sensitive mutation in ORC2 disrupted silencing in cells grown at the permissive temperature. At the restrictive temperature, the orc2-1 mutation caused cell cycle arrest at a point in the cell cycle indicative of blocks in DNA replication. The orc2-1 mutation also resulted in the enhanced mitotic loss of a plasmid, suggestive of a defect in replication. These results provide strong evidence for an in vivo role of ORC in both chromosomal replication and silencing, and provide a link between the mechanism of silencing and DNA replication.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Foss, M -- McNally, F J -- Laurenson, P -- Rine, J -- GM31105/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P30ES01896-12/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Dec 17;262(5141):1838-44.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8266071" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mutations in the glucose-6-phosphatase gene that cause glycogen storage disease type 1a (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-10-22
    Description: Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1a is caused by the deficiency of D-glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), the key enzyme in glucose homeostasis. Despite both a high incidence and morbidity, the molecular mechanisms underlying this deficiency have eluded characterization. In the present study, the molecular and biochemical characterization of the human G6Pase complementary DNA, its gene, and the expressed protein, which is indistinguishable from human microsomal G6Pase, are reported. Several mutations in the G6Pase gene of affected individuals that completely inactivate the enzyme have been identified. These results establish the molecular basis of this disease and open the way for future gene therapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lei, K J -- Shelly, L L -- Pan, C J -- Sidbury, J B -- Chou, J Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 22;262(5133):580-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Human Genetics 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/8211187" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Deletion of the paired alpha 5(IV) and alpha 6(IV) collagen genes in inherited smooth muscle tumors (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-08-27
    Description: The gene encoding alpha 6(IV) collagen, COL4A6, was identified on the human X chromosome in a head-to-head arrangement and within 452 base pairs of the alpha 5(IV) collagen gene, COL4A5. In earlier studies, intragenic deletions of COL4A5 were detected in a subset of patients with Alport syndrome (AS), a hereditary defect of basement membranes. In some families, AS cosegregates with diffuse leiomyomatosis (DL), a benign smooth muscle tumor diathesis. Here it is shown that patients with AS-DL harbor deletions that disrupt both COL4A5 and COL4A6. Thus, type IV collagen may regulate smooth muscle differentiation and morphogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhou, J -- Mochizuki, T -- Smeets, H -- Antignac, C -- Laurila, P -- de Paepe, A -- Tryggvason, K -- Reeders, S T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Aug 27;261(5125):1167-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06536-0812.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8356449" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Expression cloning and signaling properties of the rat glucagon receptor (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-03-12
    Description: Glucagon and the glucagon receptor are a primary source of control over blood glucose concentrations and are especially important to studies of diabetes in which the loss of control over blood glucose concentrations clinically defines the disease. A complementary DNA clone for the glucagon receptor was isolated by an expression cloning strategy, and the receptor protein was expressed in several kidney cell lines. The cloned receptor bound glucagon and caused an increase in the intracellular concentration of adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP). The cloned glucagon receptor also transduced a signal that led to an increased concentration of intracellular calcium. The glucagon receptor is similar to the calcitonin and parathyroid hormone receptors. It can transduce signals leading to the accumulation of two different second messengers, cAMP and calcium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jelinek, L J -- Lok, S -- Rosenberg, G B -- Smith, R A -- Grant, F J -- Biggs, S -- Bensch, P A -- Kuijper, J L -- Sheppard, P O -- Sprecher, C A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Mar 12;259(5101):1614-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉ZymoGenetics Inc., Seattle, WA 98105.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8384375" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Dialkylglycine decarboxylase structure: bifunctional active site and alkali metal sites (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 1993-08-06
    Description: The structure of the bifunctional, pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme dialkylglycine decarboxylase was determined to 2.1-angstrom resolution. Model building suggests that a single cleavage site catalyzes both decarboxylation and transamination by maximizing stereoelectronic advantages and providing electrostatic and general base catalysis. The enzyme contains two binding sites for alkali metal ions. One is located near the active site and accounts for the dependence of activity on potassium ions. The other is located at the carboxyl terminus of an alpha helix. These sites help show how proteins can specifically bind alkali metals and how these ions can exert functional effects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Toney, M D -- Hohenester, E -- Cowan, S W -- Jansonius, J N -- GM13854/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Aug 6;261(5122):756-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Structural Biology, University of Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8342040" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inhibition of Rev-mediated HIV-1 expression by an RNA binding protein encoded by the interferon-inducible 9-27 gene (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-02-26
    Description: Interferon inhibits expression of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) through unknown mechanisms. A gene inducible by interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was isolated by screening of a human complementary DNA library for proteins binding to the Rev-responsive element (RRE) of HIV-1. The product of this gene, RBP9-27, was shown to bind RNA in vitro and to inhibit HIV-1 expression after transfection into human cells. RBP9-27 primarily inhibited Rev-dependent posttranscriptional steps of viral gene expression. Thus, RBP9-27 is a cellular factor that antagonizes Rev function. These results suggest an interferon-induced antiviral mechanism operating through the induction of RNA binding proteins such as RBP9-27. Elucidation of RBP9-27 function may lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of interferon action during HIV-1 infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Constantoulakis, P -- Campbell, M -- Felber, B K -- Nasioulas, G -- Afonina, E -- Pavlakis, G N -- N0-CO-74101/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Feb 26;259(5099):1314-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Human Retrovirus Section, National Cancer Institute-Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, MD 21702.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7680491" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Microbial competition: Escherichia coli mutants that take over stationary phase cultures (1993)

    Publication Date: 1993-03-19
    Description: Many microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, can survive extended periods of starvation. The properties of cells that survived prolonged incubation in stationary phase were studied by mixture of 10-day-old (aged) cultures with 1-day-old (young) cultures of the same strain of Escherichia coli. Mutants from the aged cultures that could grow eventually took over the population, which resulted in the death of the cells from the young cultures. This phenotype was conferred by mutations in rpoS, which encodes a putative stationary phase-specific sigma factor. These rapid population shifts have implications for the studies of microbial evolution and ecology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zambrano, M M -- Siegele, D A -- Almiron, M -- Tormo, A -- Kolter, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Mar 19;259(5102):1757-60.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7681219" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cloning of B7-2: a CTLA-4 counter-receptor that costimulates human T cell proliferation (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-11-05
    Description: Although presentation of antigen to the T cell receptor is necessary for the initiation of an immune response, additional molecules expressed on antigen-presenting cells deliver essential costimulatory signals. T cell activation, in the absence of costimulation, results in T cell anergy. The B7-1 protein is a costimulator molecule that regulates interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion by signaling through the pathway that uses CD28 and CTLA-4 (hereafter referred to as the CD28 pathway). We have cloned a counter-receptor of CD28 and CTLA-4, termed B7-2. Although only 26 percent identical to B7-1, B7-2 also costimulates IL-2 production and T cell proliferation. Unlike B7-1, B7-2 messenger RNA is constitutively expressed in unstimulated B cells. It is likely that B7-2 provides a critical early costimulatory signal determining if the T cell will contribute to an immune response or become anergic.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Freeman, G J -- Gribben, J G -- Boussiotis, V A -- Ng, J W -- Restivo, V A Jr -- Lombard, L A -- Gray, G S -- Nadler, L M -- CA 40216/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Nov 5;262(5135):909-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematologic Malignancies, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7694363" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Convergent regulation of sodium channels by protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-09-10
    Description: The function of voltage-gated sodium channels that are responsible for action potential generation in mammalian brain neurons is modulated by phosphorylation by adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (cA-PK) and by protein kinase C (PKC). Reduction of peak sodium currents by cA-PK in intact cells required concurrent activation of PKC and was prevented by blocking phosphorylation of serine 1506, a site in the inactivation gate of the channel that is phosphorylated by PKC but not by cA-PK. Replacement of serine 1506 with negatively charged amino acids mimicked the effect of phosphorylation. Conversion of the consensus sequence surrounding serine 1506 to one more favorable for cA-PK enhanced modulation of sodium currents by cA-PK. Convergent modulation of sodium channels required phosphorylation of serine 1506 by PKC accompanied by phosphorylation of additional sites by cA-PK. This regulatory mechanism may serve to integrate neuronal signals mediated through these parallel signaling pathways.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, M -- West, J W -- Numann, R -- Murphy, B J -- Scheuer, T -- Catterall, W A -- R01-NS15751/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32-GM07270/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Sep 10;261(5127):1439-42.〈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/8396273" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-02-12
    Description: Pyruvate oxidase from Lactobacillus plantarum is a tetrameric enzyme that decarboxylates pyruvate, producing hydrogen peroxide and the energy-storage metabolite acetylphosphate. Structure determination at 2.1 angstroms showed that the cofactors thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are bound at the carboxyl termini of six-stranded parallel beta sheets. The pyrophosphate moiety of TPP is bound to a metal ion and to a beta alpha alpha beta unit corresponding to an established sequence fingerprint. The spatial arrangement of TPP and FAD suggests that the oxidation of the oxyethyl intermediate does not occur by hydride displacement but rather by a two-step transfer of two electrons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Muller, Y A -- Schulz, G E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Feb 12;259(5097):965-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Organische Chemie und Biochemie, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat, Freiburg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8438155" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Altered fluid transport across airway epithelium in cystic fibrosis (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-10-15
    Description: In cystic fibrosis (CF), absence or dysfunction of a phosphorylation-regulated chloride channel [CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)] leads to the loss or reduction of chloride secretion into the airways. Active sodium absorption is also increased in CF, and both of these ion transport changes could alter fluid transport across the airways. Under baseline conditions, cultured human airway epithelia from normal individuals absorbed fluid, and this absorption was increased in epithelia from patients with CF. In normal and CF epithelial cultures fluid absorption was inhibited by amiloride. Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate stimulated fluid secretion in normal epithelial cultures but not in cultures from individuals with CF. In contrast, fluid secretion induced by nucleotide triphosphates (uridine triphosphate or adenosine triphosphate) was unaltered in cultures of epithelia from patients with CF, suggesting an approach to the treatment of CF.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jiang, C -- Finkbeiner, W E -- Widdicombe, J H -- McCray, P B Jr -- Miller, S S -- HL 42368/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 15;262(5132):424-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8211164" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Binding of L-selectin to the vascular sialomucin CD34 (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-10-15
    Description: The adhesive interactions between leukocyte L-selectin and the endothelium are involved in the migration of lymphocytes through peripheral lymph nodes and of neutrophils to sites of inflammation. A recombinant L-selectin stains high endothelial venules (HEVs) in lymph nodes and recognizes sulfated carbohydrates found on two endothelial glycoproteins, Sgp50 and Sgp90. Amino acid sequencing of purified Sgp90 revealed a protein core identical to that CD34, a sialomucin expressed on hematopoietic stem cells and endothelium. A polyclonal antiserum to recombinant murine CD34 stains peripheral lymph node endothelium and recognizes Sgp90 that is functionally bound by L-selectin. Thus, an HEV glycoform of CD34 can function as a ligand for L-selectin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Baumheter, S -- Singer, M S -- Henzel, W -- Hemmerich, S -- Renz, M -- Rosen, S D -- Lasky, L A -- GM 23547/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 15;262(5132):436-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA 94080.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7692600" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Distinct functions of SR proteins in alternative pre-mRNA splicing (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-04-09
    Description: Alternative splicing of precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) is a common mechanism of regulating gene expression. SR proteins are a family of pre-mRNA splicing factors that are structurally related and evolutionarily conserved. Any member of the SR family can complement a splicing-deficient extract that lacks the entire family of SR proteins. Here it is demonstrated that particular SR proteins have distinct functions in alternative pre-mRNA splicing in vitro. In addition, SR proteins are differentially expressed in a variety of tissues. These results suggest a fundamental role for SR proteins in the regulation of alternative splicing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zahler, A M -- Neugebauer, K M -- Lane, W S -- Roth, M B -- 42786-02/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Apr 9;260(5105):219-22.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Basic Sciences, 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/8385799" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mutation of glycine receptor subunit creates beta-alanine receptor responsive to GABA (1993)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-10-08
    Description: The amino acid at position 160 of the ligand-binding subunit, alpha 1, is an important determinant of agonist and antagonist binding to the glycine receptor. Exchange of the neighboring residues, phenylalanine at position 159 and tyrosine at position 161, increased the efficacy of amino acid agonists. Whereas wild-type alpha 1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes required 0.7 millimolar beta-alanine for a half-maximal response, the doubly mutated (F159Y,Y161F) alpha 1 subunit had an affinity for beta-alanine (which was more potent than glycine) that was 110-fold that of the wild type. Also, gamma-aminobutyric acid and D-serine, amino acids that do not activate wild-type alpha 1 receptors, efficiently gated the mutant channel. Thus, aromatic hydroxyl groups are crucial for ligand discrimination at inhibitory amino acid receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schmieden, V -- Kuhse, J -- Betz, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 8;262(5131):256-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurochemistry, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Frankfurt, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8211147" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
