Astrin-SKAP Complex Reconstitution Reveals Its Kinetochore
RESEARCH ARTICLE Astrin-SKAP complex reconstitution reveals its kinetochore interaction with microtubule-bound Ndc80 David M Kern1,2, Julie K Monda1,2†, Kuan-Chung Su1†, Elizabeth M Wilson-Kubalek3, Iain M Cheeseman1,2* 1Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, United States; 2Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, United States; 3Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, United States Abstract Chromosome segregation requires robust interactions between the macromolecular kinetochore structure and dynamic microtubule polymers. A key outstanding question is how kinetochore-microtubule attachments are modulated to ensure that bi-oriented attachments are selectively stabilized and maintained. The Astrin-SKAP complex localizes preferentially to properly bi-oriented sister kinetochores, representing the final outer kinetochore component recruited prior to anaphase onset. Here, we reconstitute the 4-subunit Astrin-SKAP complex, including a novel MYCBP subunit. Our work demonstrates that the Astrin-SKAP complex contains separable kinetochore localization and microtubule binding domains. In addition, through cross-linking analysis in human cells and biochemical reconstitution, we show that the Astrin-SKAP complex binds synergistically to microtubules with the Ndc80 complex to form an integrated interface. We propose a model in which the Astrin-SKAP complex acts together with the Ndc80 complex to stabilize correctly formed kinetochore-microtubule interactions. *For correspondence: DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.26866.001 [email protected] †These authors contributed equally to this work Introduction Competing interests: The The macromolecular kinetochore complex links chromosomes to dynamic microtubule polymers and authors declare that no harnesses the forces generated by microtubule growth and depolymerization to facilitate accurate competing interests exist. -

Abstract: Oncogenic RAS (Rat sarcoma) mutations drive more than half of human cancers, and RAS inhibition is the holy grail of oncology. Thirty years of relentless efforts and harsh disappointments have taught us about the intricacies of oncogenic RAS signalling that allow us to now get a pharma- cological grip on this elusive protein. The inhibition of effector pathways, such as the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, has largely proven disappointing. Thus far, most of these efforts were aimed at blocking the activation of ERK. Here, we discuss RAF-dependent pathways that are regulated through RAF functions independent of catalytic activity and their potential role as targets to block oncogenic RAS signalling. We focus on the now well documented roles of RAF kinase-independent functions in apoptosis, cell cycle progression and cell migration.

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway. -

Chromosomal Assignment of the Genes for Human Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-1 and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-2 LILY C
Am J Hum Genet 38:641-648, 1986 Chromosomal Assignment of the Genes for Human Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-1 and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-2 LILY C. Hsu,', AKIRA YOSHIDA,' AND T. MOHANDAS2 SUMMARY Chromosomal assignment of the genes for two major human aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes, that is, cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 (ALDH1) and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) were determined. Genomic DNA, isolated from a panel of mouse- human and Chinese hamster-human hybrid cell lines, was digested by restriction endonucleases and subjected to Southern blot hybridiza- tion using cDNA probes for ALDH1 and for ALDH2. Based on the distribution pattern of ALDH1 and ALDH2 in cell hybrids, ALDHI was assigned to the long arm of human chromosome 9 and ALDH2 to chromosome 12. INTRODUCTION Two major and at least two minor aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes exist in human and other mammalian livers. One of the major isozymes, designated as ALDH 1, or E1, is of cytosolic origin, and another major isozyme, designated as ALDH2 or E2, is of mitochondrial origin. The two isozymes are different from each other with respect to their kinetic properties, sensitivity to disulfiram inactivation, and protein structure [1-5]. Remarkable racial differences be- tween Caucasians and Orientals have been found in these isozymes. Approxi- mately 50% of Orientals have a variant form of ALDH2 associated with dimin- ished activity, while virtually all Caucasians have the wild-type active ALDH2 Received July 10, 1985; revised September 23, 1985.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Molecular Docking Investigation of the Amantadine Binding to the Enzymes Upregulated Or Downregulated in Parkinson's Disease

Levodopa in combination with amantadine has a demonstrated efficacy in motility impairment. An extensive investigation of some enzymes described to be upregulated or downregulated in PD was made – adenylate kinase (AK), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1), nucleoside-diphosphate kinase 3 (NDK3), purine nucleoside phosphorylase 1 (PNP1), and ecto-5’- nucleotidase (NT5E). Also, creatine kinase (CK) was included in the study because it is one of the main enzymes involved in the regulation of the nucleotide ratio in energy metabolism. To date, there is no proven link between amantadine treatment of PD and these enzymes. Because there are many AKs isoforms modified in PD, the AK was the first investigated. The molecular docking experiments allow the analysis of the selective binding of amantadine – unionized (with –NH2 group) and ionized form (with – + NH3 group) – to the AKs’ isoforms implicated in PD. Using available X-ray 3D structures of human AKs in closed-conformation, it was demonstrated that there are notable differences between the interactions of the two forms of amantadine for the zebrafish AK1 (5XZ2), human AK2 (2C9Y), human AK5 (2BWJ), and AK from B.stearothermophilus.
