Regulation of kinase activity of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 by binding to 14-3-3

3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) plays a central role in activating the protein kinase A, G, and C subfamily. In particular, PDK1 plays an important role in regulating the Akt survival pathway by phosphorylating Akt on Thr-308. PDK1 kinase activity was thought to be constitutively active; however, recent reports suggested that its activity is regulated by binding to other proteins, such as protein kinase C-related kinase-2 (PRK2), p90 ribosomal protein S6 kinase-2 (RSK2), and heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Here we report that PDK1 binds to 14-3-3 proteins in vivo and in vitro through the sequence surrounding Ser-241, a residue that is phosphorylated by itself and is critical for its kinase activity. Mutation of PDK1 to increase its binding to 14-3-3 decreased its kinase activity in vivo. By contrast, mutation of PDK1 to decrease its interaction with 14-3-3 resulted in increased PDK1 kinase activity. Moreover, incubation of wild-type PDK1 with recombinant 14-3-3 in vitro decreased its kinase activity. These data indicate that PDK1 kinase activity is negatively regulated by binding to 14-3-3 through the PDK1 autophosphorylation site Ser-241.     

A new species of gravel-dwelling loach (Ostariophysi: Nemacheilidae) from the Nepalese Himalayan foothills

Turcinoemacheilus himalaya, new species, is described from the Koshi and Gandaki River basins of Nepal. The new species is distinguished from its hypothesised congener, Turcinoemacheilus kosswigi, from the Euphrates, Tigris and Karoun basins of the Middle East, by the presence of small scales on the posterior half of its body (v. absence of all scales), its shorter caudal peduncle (caudal peduncle length 12-15% standard length, L(S) v. 16-23), its shorter snout (snout length 28-36% head length, L(H) v. 40-49) and by features of its colour pattern, including the presence of small irregularly shaped dark grey markings over the lateral body surface. Turcinoemacheilus himalaya is known to date only from Nepal.     

Biochemical properties of isolated transverse tubular membranes

This review addresses the major biochemical and structural characteristics of isolated transverse tubule (T-tubule) membranes, including methods of isolation and morphology of purified membranes, evaluation of attendant membrane activities, including ion pumps and channels, and structural and compositional analyses of functionally relevant components. Particular emphasis is placed on the Mg²⁺-ATPase, its localization in the T-system, its unusual kinetic properties, its possible functions, and its potential regulation by diacylglycerol and other biologically-relevant lipids. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the biochemical markers characteristic of T-tubule membranes and the criteria to be applied in the assessment of isolated T-tubule membrane purity.Abbreviations CMC critical micelle concentration - Con-A concanavalin A - DHP dihydropyridine - E-C excitation-contraction - E-P phosphoenzyme - FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate - IgG immunoglobulin G - immuno-EM immunoelectron microscopic - IP₃ inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate - LPC lysophosphatidylcholine - NBD-C1 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diozole - NBD-F 7-fluoro-NBD - NEM N-ethylmaleimide - PL phospholipid - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - SL sarcolemma - SR sarcoplasmic reticulum - STX saxitoxin - TTX tetrodotoxin - T-tubule transverse tubule - WGA wheatgerm agglutinin

It is characterized by its body 1.92-2.40 mm long, lip region offset by constriction and 17-19 μm wide, odontostyle 16-19 μm long with aperture occupying less than one-third (27-30%) its length, neck 428-690 μm long, pharyngeal expansion 369-390 μm long or occupying 54-56% of total neck length, female genital system amphidelphic, uterus bipartite and 162-218 μm long or 2.3-3.5 times as long as body diameter, pars refringens vaginae well developed, V = 54-57.5, vulva longitudinal, prerectum bearing a blind sac, tail conical with rounded tip to conoid (25-36 μm, c=60-69, c'=0.5-0.9), spicules 68-72 μm long, precloacal pair of supplements far (22-27 μm) from cloacal aperture, and 13-17 shortly spaced ventromedian supplements with hiatus. The new taxon is compared in depth to its relatives in Crassolabium as well as other similar species of Aporcelaimellus and Amblydorylaimus.     

Derivation of molecular pK values from pH-dependences.

If the titration pK values of a dibasic acid are called pK +/- logp, then its molecular pK values are pK +/- log(p+1/p). If the pH values at which the concentration of its monoprotonated form is half-maximal are called pK +/- logq, then its molecular pK values are pK +/- log(q-4+1/q).     

An Efficiently Cleaved HIV-1 Clade C Env Selectively Binds to Neutralizing Antibodies

An ideal HIV-1 Env immunogen is expected to mimic the native trimeric conformation for inducing broadly neutralizing antibody responses. The native conformation is dependent on efficient cleavage of HIV-1 Env. The clade B isolate, JRFL Env is efficiently cleaved when expressed on the cell surface. Here, for the first time, we report the identification of a native clade C Env, 4-2.J41 that is naturally and efficiently cleaved on the cell surface as confirmed by its biochemical and antigenic characteristics. In addition to binding to several conformation-dependent neutralizing antibodies, 4-2.J41 Env binds efficiently to the cleavage-dependent antibody PGT151; thus validating its native cleaved conformation. In contrast, 4-2.J41 Env occludes non-neutralizing epitopes. The cytoplasmic-tail of 4-2.J41 Env plays an important role in maintaining its conformation. Furthermore, codon optimization of 4-2.J41 Env sequence significantly increases its expression while retaining its native conformation. Since clade C of HIV-1 is the prevalent subtype, identification and characterization of this efficiently cleaved Env would provide a platform for rational immunogen design.     

Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase regulates fission yeast cell integrity through a phospholipase C-mediated protein kinase C-independent pathway

Fission yeast its3-1 mutant is an allele of the essential gene its3+ that encodes a phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) that produces phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. We found that the its3-1 mutant is sensitive to micafungin, a (1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase inhibitor, suggesting a cell wall integrity defect. Consistently, its3-1 mutation caused synthetic lethality with a (1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase mutant, bgs1-i2, and its3-1 mutant cells showed aberrant localization of green fluorescent protein-Bgs1. Similar aberrant localization of green fluorescent protein-tagged Rgf1, a putative phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-binding guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rho protein, in its3-1 mutants was observed, suggesting a defective Rgf1/Rho pathway. To unravel the molecular mechanism(s), putative downstream components of PIP5K signaling were analyzed. Unexpectedly, overexpression of phospholipase C (Plc1), but not that of protein kinase C (PKC; Pck1 and Pck2), suppressed the phenotypes of the its3-1 mutant. These findings indicate that PKCs are not involved in the suppression, and further analysis revealed that PKCs are not downstream of Plc1 in fission yeast. Also, the enzymatic activity of Plc1 is essential for the suppression of the phenotypes and for the viability of the its3-1 mutant. These findings suggest that Its3 PIP5K regulates cell integrity through a Plc1-mediated PKC-independent pathway, in addition to the Rho/PKC pathway.     

Cell-mediated and glucocorticoid-mediated target cell lysis do not appear to share common pathways

Target cell lysis by cytolyic lymphocytes follows a sequence of events that culminate in osmotic destruction of the target. Although it is clear that killer cell derived components play a crucial role in target cell lysis it is not clear to what extent the target itself is involved in its destruction. Recent observations have pointed to the possibility that glucocorticoid mediated and cell mediated lysis may utilize common pathways of cell lysis. In analyzing this question we found that cell lines that have nonfunctional glucocorticoid receptors like S49-78 and S49-88 are good targets for both NK and thymus-derived killer (TK) cells. Cell lines that are glucocorticoid sensitive such as Q1(4)6 are sensitive to NK-mediated lysis as its derivative HL4-6-3 which contains glucocorticoid receptors but is glucocorticoid resistant. An intriguing exception to this is the glucocorticoid-resistant mutant S49-4RD which is relatively resistant to both NK and TK lysis compared with parent S49. The resistance of S49-4RD to cell-mediated lysis we show here is most likely due to a defect in the target which results in its failure to trigger the cytolytic machinery in the killer cell rather than in its resistance to lysis per se. In support of this we demonstrate that lysis of S49-4RD by cytolytic granules from TK cells is normal. Moreover TK cells lyse S49-4RD as efficiently as its parent in the presence of the lectin Con A. The conclusion that S49-4RD has a defect in its ability to induce killer cells to initiate the cytolytic reaction is also in agreement with the finding that TK-S49-4RD conjugates show inefficient reorientation of the Golgi apparatus in the effector.     

HPO结构与受体结合功能关系的初步研究

肝细胞生成素(HPO)是一种新型细胞因子,在肝再生过程中具有重要的调控作用,研究发现在肝源细胞表面有其特异性受体。为了研究HPO结构与其受体结合功能的关系,构建并表达了HPO及其系列缺失体,利用流式细胞术检测了HPO及其系列缺失体与受体的结合能力。结果表明,在HPO的序列中可能有多个受体结合功能区,其N端的前10位氨基酸残基和C端的第11—20位氨基酸残基对于其受体结合能力是必需的,而C端前10位氨基酸残基对HPO与受体的结合有一定的抑制作用。此外HPO结构的完整性对于其受体结合功能也是必需的。     

An Effector Peptide from Glutathione-S-Transferase-pi Strongly and Selectively Blocks Mitotic Signaling by Oncogenic ras-p21

Oncogenic ras-p21 directly activates jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and its substrate, jun as a unique step on its mitogenic signal transduction pathway. This activation is blocked by the specific JNK-jun inhibitor, glutathione-S-transferase-pi (GST-pi). Four domains of GST-pi have been implicated in this regulatory function: 34-50, 99-121, 165-182, and 194-201. The 34-50 domain is unique in that it does not affect GST-pi binding to JNK-jun but blocks jun phosphorylation by JNK. We now find that it completely blocks oncogenic (Val 12-) ras-p21-induced oocyte maturation but has no effect on insulin-induced oocyte maturation. Because the latter process requires activation of wild-type ras-p21, this peptide appears to be specific for inhibiting only the oncogenic form of ras-p21, suggesting its use in treating ras-induced tumors.
