Six of these subunits (IV, pearance of a new cross-reacting subunit V polypeptide in V, VI, VII, VIIa, VIII) are encoded by the nuclear genome, transformant mitochondria (5, 6). and the remaining three (I, II, III) are encoded by mitochon- In this paper, we report that the latter gene, now called drial DNA.

Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins.

  • Structure-Function Relationship of Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase: Redox Centres, Proton Pathways and Isozymes
    Structure-function relationship of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase: redox centres, proton pathways and isozymes Raksha Jagdish Dodia Structural Molecular Biology University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 Supervisor: Prof. Peter R. Rich Internal examiner: Dr. Joanne Santini External examiner: Prof. Peter J. Nixon 1 Signed declaration I Raksha J. Dodia confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) reduces O2 to water with four electrons from cytochromes c2+ and four matrix protons. The energy released is conserved in the protonmotive force by translocation of four additional protons into the intermembrane space. Electrons are transferred via CuA, haem a, to the binuclear centre; haem a3 and CuB, where O2 is reduced. Four major aspects of its structure/function have been investigated in this study. Mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been used to probe redox-induced structural changes. By using electrochemically-poised samples of cyanide- and carbon monoxide-ligated bovine CcO these redox-linked IR changes were shown to be linked primarily with CuA and haem a metal centre transitions with fewer changes associated with transitions in haem a3 and CuB. CcO contains a cross-linked Tyr-His which is believed to form a Tyr radical in the PM intermediate. In this work, electrochemical conditions to induce Tyr-His model compound radicals have been combined with IR spectroscopy to record IR reference spectra. This has aided tentative assignment of IR bands at 1572 cm-1 or 1555 cm-1 to .

  • COX5B Regulates MAVS-Mediated Antiviral Signaling Through Interaction with ATG5 and Repressing ROS Production
    COX5B Regulates MAVS-mediated Antiviral Signaling through Interaction with ATG5 and Repressing ROS Production Yuanyuan Zhao1., Xiaofeng Sun1., Xuanli Nie1, Liwei Sun2, Tie-shan Tang1, Dahua Chen2, Qinmiao Sun1* 1 State Key Laboratory of Biomembrane and Membrane Biotechnology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chaoyang District, Beijing, P. R.2 St at e China, Key Laboratory of Reproductive Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chaoyang District, Beijing, P. R.hina C Abstract Innate antiviral immunity is the first line of the host defense system that rapidly detects invading viruses. Mitochondria function as platforms for innate antiviral signal transduction in mammals through the adaptor protein, MAVS. Excessive activation of MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling leads to dysfunction of mitochondria and cell apoptosis that likely causes the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. However, the mechanism of how MAVS is regulated at mitochondria remains unknown. Here we show that the Cytochrome c Oxidase (CcO) complex subunit COX5B physically interacts with MAVS and negatively regulates the MAVS-mediated antiviral pathway. Mechanistically, we find that while activation of MAVS leads to increased ROS production and COX5B expression, COX5B down-regulated MAVS signaling by repressing ROS production. Importantly, our study reveals that COX5B coordinates with the autophagy pathway to control MAVS aggregation, thereby balancing the antiviral signaling activity. Thus, our study provides novel insights into the link between mitochondrial electron transport system and the autophagy pathway in regulating innate antiviral immunity.

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

Boise 1, Deepak Nagrath2,3,5 & ✉ Mala Shanmugam 1 1234567890():,; The BCL-2 antagonist venetoclax is highly effective in multiple myeloma (MM) patients exhibiting the 11;14 translocation, the mechanistic basis of which is unknown. In evaluating cellular energetics and metabolism of t(11;14) and non-t(11;14) MM, we determine that venetoclax-sensitive myeloma has reduced mitochondrial respiration. Consistent with this, low electron transport chain (ETC) Complex I and Complex II activities correlate with venetoclax sensitivity. Inhibition of Complex I, using IACS-010759, an orally bioavailable Complex I inhibitor in clinical trials, as well as succinate ubiquinone reductase (SQR) activity of Complex II, using thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) or introduction of SDHC R72C mutant, independently sensitize resistant MM to venetoclax. We demonstrate that ETC inhibition increases BCL-2 dependence and the ‘primed’ state via the ATF4-BIM/NOXA axis. Further, SQR activity correlates with venetoclax sensitivity in patient samples irrespective of t(11;14) status. Use of SQR activity in a functional-biomarker informed manner may better select for MM patients responsive to venetoclax therapy. 1 Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
