α3β1 integrin promotes cell survival via multiple interactions between 14-3-3 isoforms and proapoptotic proteins

Laminin-5 and α3β1 integrin promote keratinocyte survival; however, the downstream signaling pathways for laminin-5/α3β1 integrin-mediated cell survival had not been fully established. We report the unexpected finding of multiple interactions between 14-3-3 isoforms and proapoptotic proteins in the survival signaling pathway. Ln5-P4 motif within human laminin-5 α3 chain promotes cell survival and anti-apoptosis by inactivating Bad and YAP. This effect is achieved through the formation of 14-3-3ζ/p-Bad and 14-3-3σ/p-YAP complexes, which is initiated by α3β1 integrin and FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling. These complexes result in cytoplasmic sequestration of Bad and YAP and their subsequent inactivation. An increase in Akt1 activity in cells induces 14-3-3ζ and σ, p-Bad, and p-YAP, promoting cell survival, whereas decreasing Akt activity suppresses the same proteins and inhibits cell survival. Suppression of 14-3-3ζ with RNA-interference inhibits cell viability and promotes apoptosis. These results reveal a new mechanism of cell survival whereby the formation of 14-3-3ζ/p-Bad and 14-3-3σ/p-YAP complexes is initiated by laminin-5 stimulation via the α3β1 integrin and FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, thereby resulting in cell survival and anti-apoptosis.     

Nature of allelic sequence polymorphism at the KIR3DL3 locus

KIR3DL3 is a framework gene of the Leukocyte Receptor Complex, present in all individuals and haplotypes analysed to date. We describe 17 novel KIR3DL3 alleles, including seven single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) positions within the coding region. Sequence variation within introns included a VNTR within intron 1. As KIR3DL3 mRNA is known to be expressed in decidual NK cells, we investigated the impact of KIR3DL3 allelic variation on pre-eclampsia. No statistical difference in allele frequency or polymorphism was observed between pre-eclampsia patient and control cohorts. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis of exonic SNPs suggested that recombination may be a mechanism of generating sequence diversity within KIR3DL3. A potential recombination hotspot was located within intron 5. A strong LD was detected between polymorphism in exon 6 of KIR3DL3 and the KIR gene −2DL3 or -2DS2 loci, which define the centromeric end of two main haplotypes (A and B) of the KIR cluster. Comparison of primate KIR sequences indicated that the Ig domains of KIR3DL3 are highly conserved between chimpanzee, gorilla and humans. Investigation of KIR3DL3 dN/dS ratios indicated a greater level of synonymous mutations consistent with purifying selection, although positive selection was detected acting on two sites within the stem region.Electronic supplementary material Supplementary material is available for this article at and is accessible for authorized users.     

小花草玉梅正常和自然变异植株的AP3-3基因研究

野生小花草玉梅(Anemone rivularis var.flore-minore)正常植株和花被片自然变异植株的外观形态差异很大,该研究以二者为材料,利用常规PCR和高效热不对称PCR(Hi-Tail PCR)技术从其正常和变异植株的基因组中各分离得到1个B类基因。序列分析证明,二者隶属于B类MADS-box基因AP3家族的旁系同源基因AP3-3分枝,分别命名为NArAP3-3(正常植株)和VArAP3-3(变异植株)。NArAP3-3基因全长3 795bp,VArAP3-3基因全长3 898bp,二者均含有1个666bp的开放阅读框(ORF),可编码221个氨基酸,具有典型的植物MADS-box基因结构,其编码肽链包含了MADS区、K区、Ⅰ区和C区。对比NArAP3-3和VArAP3-3基因的全长序列,发现VArAP3-3基因比NArAP3-3多了1段49bp的插入,且在ORF序列与NArAP3-3基因相比有4个碱基突变。对二者的全长序列、所编码的221个氨基酸及插入序列的生物信息学分析显示,二者在基因启动子、蛋白质基本性质、结构功能域、二级三级预测结构等方面均有差异,推测这些差异可能是花被片变异产生的原因之一。该研究结果为进一步探索其变异机制奠定了基础。     

Cloning and characterization of the 14-3-3 protein gene from the halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina

Previous studies have demonstrated that 14-3-3 proteins exist in all the eukaryotic organisms studied; however, studies on the 14-3-3 proteins have not been involved in the halotolerant, unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina so far. In the present study, a cDNA encoding 14-3-3 protein of D. salina was cloned and sequenced by PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) technique based on homologous sequences of the 14-3-3 proteins found in other organisms. The cloned cDNA of 1485 bp in length had a 29.2 kDa of molecular weight and contained a 774 bp of open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 258 amino acids. Like the other 14-3-3 proteins, the deduced amino acid sequences of the D. salina 14-3-3 protein also contained two putative phosphorylation sites within the N-terminal region (positions 62 and 67). Furthermore, an EF hand motif characteristic for Ca²⁺-binding sites was located within the C-terminal part of this polypeptide (positions 208–219). Analysis of bioinformatics revealed that the 14-3-3 protein of D. salina shared homology with that of other organisms. Real-time quantitative PCR demonstrated that expression of the 14-3-3 protein gene is cell cycle-dependent.     

In vitro glucose uptake activity of Aegles marmelos and Syzygium cumini by activation of Glut-4, PI3 kinase and PPARγ in L6 myotubes

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of methanolic extracts of Aegles marmelos and Syzygium cumini on a battery of targets glucose transporter (Glut-4), peroxisome proliferator activator receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase (PI3 kinase) involved in glucose transport. A. marmelos and S. cumini are anti-diabetic medicinal plants being used in Indian traditional medicine. Different solvent extracts extracted sequentially were analysed for glucose uptake activity at each step and methanol extracts were found to be significantly active at 100ng/ml dose comparable with insulin and rosiglitazone. Elevation of Glut-4, PPARgamma and PI3 kinase by A. marmelos and S. cumini in association with glucose transport supported the up-regulation of glucose uptake. The inhibitory effect of cycloheximide on A. marmelos- and S. cumini-mediated glucose uptake suggested that new protein synthesis is required for the elevated glucose transport. Current observation concludes that methanolic extracts of A. marmelos and S. cumini activate glucose transport in a PI3 kinase-dependent fashion.     

The p38 SAPK pathway is required for Ha-ras induced in vitro invasion of NIH3T3 cells

Constitutive activation of the ras oncoprotein plays a critical role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Particularly, ras-related protease expression such as the serine protease urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) has been implicated in mediating cancer cell invasion. Previous studies have shown that ras-mediated u-PA expression is regulated through the mitogen- (MAPK) and stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) signal transduction pathways extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun-activating kinase (JNK). We therefore asked the question, if ras-related cell invasion might additionally require the third MAPK/SAPK signal transduction cascade, p38. Indeed, we found that ras induces invasion based on the activation of certain p38 protein kinase isoforms, in particular, p38alpha. Moreover, ras activation through transient or stable expression of a Ha-rasEJ mutant induced the expression of u-PA. This was found to be a consequence of an increase of u-PA m-RNA, which was paralleled by only a modest activation of the u-PA promoter. In conclusion, we provide evidence for the requirement of a novel ras-p38alpha-u-PA pathway for ras-dependent cellular invasion.     

Biosynthesis and Characterization of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3- hydroxyhexanoate) from Palm Oil Products in a Wautersia eutropha Mutant

Palm kernel oil, palm olein, crude palm oil and palm acid oil were used for the synthesis of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] by a mutant strain of Wautersia eutropha (formerly Ralstonia eutropha) harboring the Aeromonas caviae polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase gene. Palm kernel oil was an excellent carbon source for the production of cell biomass and P(3HB-co-3HHx). About 87% (w/w) of the cell dry weight as P(3HB-co-3HHx) was obtained using 5 g palm kernel oil/l. Gravimetric and microscopic analyses further confirmed the high PHA content in the recombinant cells. The molar fraction of 3HHx remained constant at 5 mol % regardless of the type and concentration of palm oil products used. The small amount of 3HHx units was confirmed by ¹³C NMR analysis. The number average molecular weight (M_n) of the PHA copolymer produced from the various palm oil products ranged from 27 0000 to 46 0000 Da. The polydispersity was in the range of 2.6–3.9.     

Enantioselective synthesis of ethyl-(S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate (S-HPPE) from ethyl-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate using recombinant fatty acid synthase (FAS2) from Kluyveromyces lactis KCTC 7133 in Pichia pastoris GS115

Various yeast strains were examined for the microbial reduction of ethyl-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (OPPE) to ethyl-(S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate (S-HPPE), which is the chiral intermediate for the synthesis of a serotonin uptake inhibitor, Fluoxetine. Kluyveromyces lactis KCTC 7133 was found as the most efficient strain in terms of high yield (83% at 50 mM) and high optical purity ee > 99% of S-HPPE. Based on the protein purification, activity analysis and the genomic analysis, a fatty acid synthase (FAS) was identified as the responsible β-ketoreductase. To increase the productivity, a recombinant Pichia pastoris GS115 over-expressing FAS2 (α-subunit of FAS) of K. lactis KCTC7133 was constructed. In the optimized media condition, the recombinant P. pastoris functionally over-expressed the FAS2. Recombinant P. pastoris showed 2.3-fold higher reductase activity compared with wild type P. pastoris. With the recombinant P. pastoris, the 91% yield of S-HPPE was achieved at 50 mM OPPE maintaining the high optical purity of the product (ee > 99%).
