NMR and X-ray analysis of structural additivity in metal binding site-swapped hybrids of rubredoxin

Background  

Chimeric hybrids derived from the rubredoxins of Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf) and Clostridium pasteurianum (Cp) provide a robust system for the characterization of protein conformational stability and dynamics in a differential mode. Interchange of the seven nonconserved residues of the metal binding site between the Pf and Cp rubredoxins yields a complementary pair of hybrids, for which the sum of the thermodynamic stabilities is equal to the sum for the parental proteins. Furthermore, the increase in amide hydrogen exchange rates for the hyperthermophile-derived metal binding site hybrid is faithfully mirrored by a corresponding decrease for the complementary hybrid that is derived from the less thermostable rubredoxin, indicating a degree of additivity in the conformational fluctuations that underlie these exchange reactions.

Crystal structure determination of an acidic neurotoxin (BmK M8) from scorpion Buthm martensii Karsch at 0.25nm resolution

The crystal structure of an acidic neurotoxin, BmK M8, from Chinese scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch was determined at 0.25 nm resolution. The X-ray diffraction data of BmK M8 crystals at 0.25nm resolution were collected on a Siemens area detector. Using molecular replacement method with a basic scorpion toxin AaH II in a search model, the cross-rotation function, PC-refinement and translation function were calculated by X-PLOR program package. The correct orientation and position of BmK M8 molecule in crystal were determined in a resolution range of 1.5 - 0.35nm, The oystallographic refinement was further performed by stereo-chemical restrict least-square technique, followed by simulated annealing, slow-cooling protocols. The final crystallographic R-factor at 0.8-0.25 nm is 0.171. The standard deviations of bond length and bond angle from ideality are 0.001 7nm and 2.24° , respectively. The final model of BmK M8 structure is composed of a dense core of secondary structure elements by a stretch of α-     

BRCA1 and FancJ cooperatively promote interstrand crosslinker induced centrosome amplification through the activation of polo-like kinase 1

DNA damage response (DDR) and the centrosome cycle are 2 of the most critical cellular processes affecting the genome stability in animal cells. Yet the cross-talks between DDR and the centrosome are poorly understood. Here we showed that deficiency of the breast cancer 1, early onset gene (BRCA1) induces centrosome amplification in non-stressed cells as previously reported while attenuating DNA damage-induced centrosome amplification (DDICA) in cells experiencing prolonged genotoxic stress. Mechanistically, the function of BRCA1 in promoting DDICA is through binding and recruiting polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) to the centrosome. In a recent study, we showed that FancJ also suppresses centrosome amplification in non-stressed cells while promoting DDICA in both hydroxyurea and mitomycin C treated cells. FancJ is a key component of the BRCA1 B-complex. Here, we further demonstrated that, in coordination with BRCA1, FancJ promotes DDICA by recruiting both BRCA1 and PLK1 to the centrosome in the DNA damaged cells. Thus, we have uncovered a novel role of BRCA1 and FancJ in the regulation of DDICA. Dysregulation of DDR or centrosome cycle leads to aneuploidy, which is frequently seen in both solid and hematological cancers. BRCA1 and FancJ are known tumor suppressors and have well-recognized functions in DNA damage checkpoint and DNA repair. Together with our recent findings, we demonstrated here that BRCA1 and FancJ also play an important role in centrosome cycle especially in DDICA. DDICA is thought to be an alternative fail-safe mechanism to prevent cells experiencing severe DNA damage from becoming carcinogenic. Therefore, BRCA1 and FancJ are potential liaisons linking early DDR with the DDICA. We propose that together with their functions in DDR, the role of BRCA1 and FancJ in the activation of DDICA is also crucial for their tumor suppression functions in vivo.     

玫烟色棒束孢Pr1酶活力、Pr1酶基因表达量与其毒力的相关性

丝氨酸弹性凝乳蛋白酶Pr1是一类能高效降解昆虫体壁蛋白的重要酶,其活力与虫生真菌的毒力有很大的关系。探索玫烟色棒束孢不同菌株Pr1酶活力、Pr1蛋白酶基因表达量与毒力的相关性对该菌的应用具有重要的意义。文中采用专一性短肽底物Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA和荧光定量PCR分别测定了玫烟色棒束孢不同菌株的Pr1酶活和Pr1基因的表达量,并采用坡塔喷雾法测定了供试菌株对桃蚜的毒力。结果表明:不同供试菌株Pr1蛋白酶活力与其毒力的线性回归方程为y=3.64x+0.62,R~2=0.432,两者呈正相关;供试菌株Pr1酶活力、Pr1基因表达量与毒力的回归方程为y=0.236+10.833x_1–0.039x_2 (x_1=Pr1酶活力,x_2=Pr1基因表达量),R~2=0.568,说明线性拟合方程能很好地反映原始数据;序列相关系数D-W为2.444,在0.05水平上相关显著,表明Pr1酶活力、Pr1基因表达量对毒力有显著影响;VIF=12.705表明Pr1酶活力、Pr1基因表达量存在中度多重共线性。因此建议将Pr1蛋白酶的酶活力和Pr1基因表达量作为菌株毒力筛选时的重要指标。
