Cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) contributes to intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis by virtue of its low-affinity/high-capacity Ca2+ binding properties, maintains sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) architecture and regulates excitation–contraction coupling, especially or exclusively upon β-adrenergic stimulation. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited arrhythmogenic disease associated with cardiac arrest in children or young adults. Recessive CPVT variants are due to mutations in the CASQ2 gene. Molecular and ultra-structural properties were studied in hearts of CASQ2R33Q/R33Q and of CASQ2−/− mice from post-natal day 2 to week 8. The drastic reduction of CASQ2-R33Q is an early developmental event and is accompanied by down-regulation of triadin and junctin, and morphological changes of jSR and of SR-transverse-tubule junctions. Although endoplasmic reticulum stress is activated, no signs of either apoptosis or autophagy are detected. The other model of recessive CPVT, the CASQ2−/− mouse, does not display the same adaptive pattern. Expression of CASQ2-R33Q influences molecular and ultra-structural heart development; post-natal, adaptive changes appear capable of ensuring until adulthood a new pathophysiological equilibrium. 相似文献

Elongation factor G (EF-G) is one of several GTP hydrolytic proteins (GTPases) that cycles repeatedly on and off the ribosome during protein synthesis in bacterial cells. In the functional cycle of EF-G, hydrolysis of guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP) is coupled to tRNA-mRNA translocation in ribosomes. GTP hydrolysis induces conformational rearrangements in two switch elements in the G domain of EF-G and other GTPases. These switch elements are thought to initiate the cascade of events that lead to translocation and EF-G cycling between ribosomes. To further define the coupling mechanism, we developed a new fluorescent approach that can detect intramolecular movements in EF-G. We attached a fluorescent probe to the switch I element (sw1) of Escherichia coli EF-G. We monitored the position of the sw1 probe, relative to another fluorescent probe anchored to the GTP substrate or product, by measuring the distance-dependent, Förster resonance energy transfer between the two probes. By analyzing EF-G trapped at five different functional states in its cycle, we could infer the cyclical movements of sw1 within EF-G. Our results provide evidence for conformational changes in sw1, which help to drive the unidirectional EF-G cycle during protein synthesis. More generally, our approach might also serve to define the conformational dynamics of other GTPases with their cellular receptors. 相似文献

Exogenous wild-type p53 (wt-p53) tumor suppression increases the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. An iodized oil emulsion was used as a p53 vector for intra-arterial gene delivery to treat hepatic tumors. Whether the chemotherapeutic agent or the iodized oil affects exogenous wt-p53 activity remains poorly understood. In the present study, the early therapeutic response of rAd/p53, combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or with iodized oil, was observed in a human colon cancer model. Allograft models in 82 nude mice with human colon carcinoma SW480 were divided randomly into four groups and administered with physiologic saline, rAd/p53, rAd/p53+5-FU, and rAd/p53+iodized oil by intratumoral injection. At 24, 48, 72, 120, and 168 h after treatment, p53 expression, the Ki-67 index (KI), and the degree of tumor necrosis were assessed. The p53 expression and tumor necrosis in the therapeutic groups were higher than those in the control group. p53 expression reached its peak at 120 h in the rAd/p53 group, at 72 h in the rAd/p53+5-FU group, and at 48 h in the rAd/p53+iodized oil group. The p53 expression in the rAd/P53+5-FU group and the iodized oil group was significantly higher than those in the rAd/P53 group at 24 and 48 h. The results revealed that tumor necrosis is positively correlated with p53 expression. The KI of the rAd/p53+5-FU group increased significantly at 24 h. 5-FU and iodized oil increase the anticancer effect of rAd/p53, and 5-FU combined with rAd/p53 has a synergistic anticancer effect. 相似文献

Nutrition during fetal life is a critical factor contributing to diabetes development in adulthood. The aim of our study was to verify: 1) whether a high-fat (HF) diet in young adult mice induces alterations in beta-cell mass, proliferation, neogenesis, and apoptosis, as well as insulin sensitivity and secretion; 2) whether these alterations may be reversible after HF diet suspension; 3) the effects in a first (F1) and second generation (F2) of mice without direct exposure to a HF diet after birth. Type 2 diabetes developed in adult mice on a HF diet, in F1 mice that were HF diet-exposed during fetal or neonatal life, and in F2 mice whose mothers were HF diet-exposed during their fetal life. beta-cell mass, replication, and neogenesis were high in HF diet-exposed mice and decreased after diet suspension. beta-cell mass and replication remained high in F1 mice and decreased in F2 mice whose mothers were exposed to a HF diet. beta-cell neogenesis was present in adult mice on a HF diet and in F1 mice that were HF diet-exposed during fetal and/or neonatal life. We conclude that a HF diet during fetal life, particularly if combined with the same insult during the suckling period, can induce the type 2 diabetes phenotype, which can be directly transmitted to the progeny even in the absence of additional dietary insults. 相似文献

The Ca2 +-dependent membrane-spanning classical cadherins bind directly to cytosolic catenins. This cadherin-catenin interaction is known to be critical for the fundamental role of cadherins in cell-cell adhesion. The small subfamily of the 7D-cadherins, however, cannot interact with catenins due to their highly truncated cytoplasmic tail. Thus far, no cytoplasmic interaction partner for the 7D-cadherins has been described. With the use of the cytoplasmic domain of the Ksp (kidney-specific)-cadherin, which belongs to the family of 7D-cadherins, as bait in affinity chromatography with human kidney lysates, the small heat-shock protein αB-crystallin was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight analysis as a cytosolic binding partner of Ksp-cadherin. This interaction was verified by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. With the use of overlapping peptides representing the entire αB-crystallin molecule, the N-terminal part of αB-crystallin, which does not possess chaperone activity, was identified as responsible for the binding to Ksp-cadherin. This interaction was found to be specific since only the cytoplasmic domain of Ksp-cadherin, but not LI (liver-intestine)-cadherin (another member of the 7D-cadherin family), interacted with αB-crystallin. In the human kidney, both αB-crystallin and Ksp-cadherin co-localize to cells of the collecting duct. They also co-localize with the actin cytoskeleton and co-precipitate with the latter. These findings suggest that the interaction of Ksp-cadherin with αB-crystallin is important for the connection of Ksp-cadherin to the cytoskeleton and thus for maintaining tissue integrity in the kidney. 相似文献

We present a simple and rapid technique for the double staining of plant peroxidase and other proteins in the same polyacrylamide
gel using the principle of iodide oxidation followed by Coomassie Blue counterstain. The colored bands of peroxidase isozymes
and proteins are easily distinguishable. An additional benefit of the method is the use of the low cost chemicals, as well
as it eliminates the need for a potentially hazardous reagents frequently used in the detection of peroxidase isozymes.

The DEAD-box proteins CYT-19 in Neurospora crassa and Mss116p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are broadly acting RNA chaperones that function in mitochondria to stimulate group I and group II intron splicing and to activate mRNA translation. Previous studies showed that the S. cerevisiae cytosolic/nuclear DEAD-box protein Ded1p could stimulate group II intron splicing in vitro. Here, we show that Ded1p complements mitochondrial translation and group I and group II intron splicing defects in mss116Δ strains, stimulates the in vitro splicing of group I and group II introns, and functions indistinguishably from CYT-19 to resolve different nonnative secondary and/or tertiary structures in the Tetrahymena thermophila large subunit rRNA-ΔP5abc group I intron. The Escherichia coli DEAD-box protein SrmB also stimulates group I and group II intron splicing in vitro, while the E. coli DEAD-box protein DbpA and the vaccinia virus DExH-box protein NPH-II gave little, if any, group I or group II intron splicing stimulation in vitro or in vivo. The four DEAD-box proteins that stimulate group I and group II intron splicing unwind RNA duplexes by local strand separation and have little or no specificity, as judged by RNA-binding assays and stimulation of their ATPase activity by diverse RNAs. In contrast, DbpA binds group I and group II intron RNAs nonspecifically, but its ATPase activity is activated specifically by a helical segment of E. coli 23S rRNA, and NPH-II unwinds RNAs by directional translocation. The ability of DEAD-box proteins to stimulate group I and group II intron splicing correlates primarily with their RNA-unwinding activity, which, for the protein preparations used here, was greatest for Mss116p, followed by Ded1p, CYT-19, and SrmB. Furthermore, this correlation holds for all group I and group II intron RNAs tested, implying a fundamentally similar mechanism for both types of introns. Our results support the hypothesis that DEAD-box proteins have an inherent ability to function as RNA chaperones by virtue of their distinctive RNA-unwinding mechanism, which enables refolding of localized RNA regions or structures without globally disrupting RNA structure. 相似文献

To elucidate the mechanisms of ultrasonication on the amyloid fibril formation, we quantitatively determined the ultrasonic power using both calorimetry and potassium iodide (KI) oxidation, and under the properly calibrated ultrasonic power, we investigated the ultasonication-induced amyloid formation process of the mouse prion protein (mPrP(23-231)). These methods revealed that the ultrasonic power in our system ranged from 0.3 to 2.7 W but entirely dependent on the positions of the ultrasonic stage. Intriguingly, the nucleation time of the amyloid fibrils was found to be shortened almost proportionally to the ultrasonic power, indicating that the probability of the occurrence of nucleus formation increases proportionally to the ultrasonic power. Moreover, mPrP(23-231) formed two types of aggregates: rigid fibrils and short fibrils with disordered aggregates, depending on the ultrasonic power. The nucleation of rigid fibrils required an ultrasonic power larger than 1.5 W. While at the strong ultrasonic power larger than 2.6 W, amyloid fibrils were formed early, but simultaneously fine fragmentation of fibrils occurred. Thus, an ultrasonic power of approximately 2.0 W would be suitable for the formation of rigid mPrP(23-231) fibrils under the conditions utilized (ultrasonication applied for 30 s every 9 min). As ultrasonication has been widely used to amplify the scrapie form of the prion protein, or other amyloids in vitro, the calorimetry and KI oxidation methods proposed here might help determining the adequate ultrasonic powers necessary to amplify them efficiently. 相似文献
