The Structure, Stability and Pheromone Binding of the Male Mouse Protein Sex Pheromone Darcin
The Structure, Stability and Pheromone Binding of the Male Mouse Protein Sex Pheromone Darcin Marie M. Phelan1, Lynn McLean2, Stuart D. Armstrong2, Jane L. Hurst3, Robert J. Beynon2, Lu-Yun Lian1* 1 NMR Centre for Structural Biology, Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom, 2 Protein Function Group, Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom, 3 Mammalian Behaviour & Evolution Group, Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Leahurst Campus, Neston, United Kingdom Abstract Mouse urine contains highly polymorphic major urinary proteins that have multiple functions in scent communication through their abilities to bind, transport and release hydrophobic volatile pheromones. The mouse genome encodes for about 20 of these proteins and are classified, based on amino acid sequence similarity and tissue expression patterns, as either central or peripheral major urinary proteins. Darcin is a male specific peripheral major urinary protein and is distinctive in its role in inherent female attraction. A comparison of the structure and biophysical properties of darcin with MUP11, which belongs to the central class, highlights similarity in the overall structure between the two proteins. The thermodynamic stability, however, differs between the two proteins, with darcin being much more stable. Furthermore, the affinity of a small pheromone mimetic is higher for darcin, although darcin is more discriminatory, being unable to bind bulkier ligands. These attributes are due to the hydrophobic ligand binding cavity of darcin being smaller, caused by the presence of larger amino acid side chains. Thus, the physical and chemical characteristics of the binding cavity, together with its extreme stability, are consistent with darcin being able to exert its function after release into the environment.

Β1 Integrins Are Required for Normal CNS Myelination and Promote AKT-Dependent Myelin Outgrowth Claudia S
RESEARCH ARTICLE 2717 Development 136, 2717-2724 (2009) doi:10.1242/dev.038679 β1 integrins are required for normal CNS myelination and promote AKT-dependent myelin outgrowth Claudia S. Barros1,*, Tom Nguyen2,*, Kathryn S. R. Spencer1, Akiko Nishiyama3, Holly Colognato2,† and Ulrich Müller1,† Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) produce myelin sheaths that insulate axons to ensure fast propagation of action potentials. β1 integrins regulate the myelination of peripheral nerves, but their function during the myelination of axonal tracts in the CNS is unclear. Here we show that genetically modified mice lacking β1 integrins in the CNS present a deficit in myelination but no defects in the development of the oligodendroglial lineage. Instead, in vitro data show that β1 integrins regulate the outgrowth of myelin sheaths. Oligodendrocytes derived from mutant mice are unable to efficiently extend myelin sheets and fail to activate AKT (also known as AKT1), a kinase that is crucial for axonal ensheathment. The inhibition of PTEN, a negative regulator of AKT, or the expression of a constitutively active form of AKT restores myelin outgrowth in cultured β1- deficient oligodendrocytes. Our data suggest that β1 integrins play an instructive role in CNS myelination by promoting myelin wrapping in a process that depends on AKT.

Global Analysis of Trna and Translation Factor Expression Reveals a Dynamic Landscape of Translational Regulation in Human Cancers
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0239-8 OPEN Global analysis of tRNA and translation factor expression reveals a dynamic landscape of translational regulation in human cancers Zhao Zhang1, Youqiong Ye1, Jing Gong1, Hang Ruan1, Chun-Jie Liu2, Yu Xiang1, Chunyan Cai3, An-Yuan Guo2, 1234567890():,; Jiqiang Ling4, Lixia Diao5, John N. Weinstein5 & Leng Han 1,6 The protein translational system, including transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and several categories of enzymes, plays a key role in regulating cell proliferation. Translation dysregulation also contributes to cancer development, though relatively little is known about the changes that occur to the translational system in cancer. Here, we present global analyses of tRNAs and three categories of enzymes involved in translational regulation in ~10,000 cancer patients across 31 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas. By analyzing the expression levels of tRNAs at the gene, codon, and amino acid levels, we identified unequal alterations in tRNA expression, likely due to the uneven distribution of tRNAs decoding different codons. We find that overexpression of tRNAs recognizing codons with a low observed-over-expected ratio may overcome the translational bottleneck in tumorigenesis. We further observed overall overexpression and amplification of tRNA modification enzymes, aminoacyl-tRNA synthe- tases, and translation factors, which may play synergistic roles with overexpression of tRNAs to activate the translational systems across multiple cancer types. 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA. 2 Department of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Hubei Bioinformatics and Molecular Imaging Key Laboratory, Key Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics of the Ministry of Education, College of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Wuhan, 430074 Hubei, People’s Republic of China.

Coding Sequences: a History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms As a Scientiªc Instrument
Coding Sequences: A History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms as a Scientiªc Instrument Hallam Stevens Harvard University Sequence comparison algorithms are sophisticated pieces of software that com- pare and match identical or similar regions of DNA, RNA, or protein se- quence. This paper examines the origins and development of these algorithms from the 1960s to the 1990s. By treating this software as a kind of scien- tiªc instrument used to examine sets of biological objects, the paper shows how algorithms have been used as different sorts of tools and appropriated for dif- ferent sorts of uses according to the disciplinary context in which they were deployed. These particular uses have made sequences themselves into different kinds of objects. Introduction Historians of molecular biology have paid signiªcant attention to the role of scientiªc instruments and their relationship to the production of bio- logical knowledge. For instance, Lily Kay has examined the history of electrophoresis, Boelie Elzen has analyzed the development of the ultra- centrifuge as an enabling technology for molecular biology, and Nicolas Rasmussen has examined how molecular biology was transformed by the introduction of the electron microscope (Kay 1998, 1993; Elzen 1986; Rasmussen 1997).1 Collectively, these historians have demonstrated how instruments and other elements of the material culture of the labora- tory have played a decisive role in determining the kind and quantity of knowledge that is produced by biologists. During the 1960s, a versatile new kind of instrument began to be deployed in biology: the electronic computer (Ceruzzi 2001; Lenoir 1999). Despite the signiªcant role that 1. One could also point to Robert Kohler’s (1994) work on the fruit ºy, Jean-Paul Gaudillière (2001) on laboratory mice, and Hannah Landecker (2007) on the technologies of tissue culture.

Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center, New York, New York ABSTRACT The Connectivity Map database contains microarray signatures of gene expression derived from approximately 6000 experiments that examined the effects of approximately 1300 single drugs on several human cancer cell lines. We used these data to prioritize pairs of drugs expected to reverse the changes in gene expression observed in the kidneys of a mouse model of HIV-associated nephropathy (Tg26 mice). We predicted that the combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor would maximally reverse the disease-associated expression of genes in the kidneys of these mice. Testing the combination of these inhibitors in Tg26 mice revealed an additive renoprotective effect, as suggested by reduction of proteinuria, improvement of renal function, and attenuation of kidney injury. Furthermore, we observed the predicted treatment-associated changes in the expression of selected genes and pathway components. In summary, these data suggest that the combination of an ACE inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor could have therapeutic potential for various kidney diseases.
