We used X-ray irradiation and cell fusion to generate a panel of 102 hamster-human somatic cell hybrids containing fragments of human chromosome 11. Sixteen human loci in the 11q12-13 region were mapped by statistical analysis of the cosegregation of markers in these radiation hybrids. The most likely order for these loci is CiNH-OSBP- (CD5 /CD20)-PGA-FTH1-COX8-PYGM-SEA-KRN1-(MTC/P1EH/HSTFI /INT2)-GST3-PPP1A. Our localization of the human protooncogene SEA between PYGM and INT2, two markers that flank MEN-1, suggests SEA as a potential candidate for the MEN-1 locus. We map two mitogenic fibroblast growth factor genes, HSTF1 and INT2, close to bcl-1, a mapping that is consistent with previously published data. Our map places the human leukocyte antigen genes CD5 and CD20 far from the bcl-1 locus, indicating that CD5 and CD20 expression is unlikely to be altered by bcl-1 rearrangements. PPP1A, which has been postulated as a MEN-1 candidate tumor suppressor gene, and GST3, a gene transcriptionally active in many human cancers, both map distal to the bcl-1 translocation cluster and the region containing MEN-1, and therefore are unlikely to be directly involved in bcl-1 or MEN-1.

Structural information on how proteins form MCS is scarce. We designed an in vitro MCS with two membranes and a pair of tethering proteins suitable for cryo-tomography analysis. It includes VAP-A, an ER trans- membrane protein interacting with a myriad of cytosolic proteins, and oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), a lipid transfer protein that transports cholesterol from the ER to the trans Golgi network. We show that VAP-A is a highly flexible protein, allowing formation of MCS of variable intermembrane distance. The tethering part of OSBP contains a central, dimeric, and helical T-shape region. We propose that the molecular flexibility of VAP-A enables the recruitment of partners of different sizes within MCS of adjustable thickness, whereas the T geometry of the OSBP dimer facilitates the movement of the two lipid-transfer domains between membranes. 1 Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, PSL Research University, CNRS UMR168, Paris, France. 2 Sorbonne Université, Paris, France. 3 CNRS UMR 7275, Université Côte d’Azur, Institut de Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Valbonne, France. 4 BioEM Lab, C-CINA, Biozentrum, University of Basel, ✉ Basel, Switzerland.

  • Navigo: Interactive Tool for Visualization and Functional Similarity and Coherence Analysis with Gene Ontology Qing Wei1, Ishita K
    Wei et al. BMC Bioinformatics (2017) 18:177 DOI 10.1186/s12859-017-1600-5 SOFTWARE Open Access NaviGO: interactive tool for visualization and functional similarity and coherence analysis with gene ontology Qing Wei1, Ishita K. Khan1, Ziyun Ding2, Satwica Yerneni3 and Daisuke Kihara2,1* Abstract Background: The number of genomics and proteomics experiments is growing rapidly, producing an ever-increasing amount of data that are awaiting functional interpretation. A number of function prediction algorithms were developed and improved to enable fast and automatic function annotation. With the well-defined structure and manual curation, Gene Ontology (GO) is the most frequently used vocabulary for representing gene functions. To understand relationship and similarity between GO annotations of genes, it is important to have a convenient pipeline that quantifies and visualizes the GO function analyses in a systematic fashion. Results: NaviGO is a web-based tool for interactive visualization, retrieval, and computation of functional similarity and associations of GO terms and genes. Similarity of GO terms and gene functions is quantified with six different scores including protein-protein interaction and context based association scores we have developed in our previous works. Interactive navigation of the GO function space provides intuitive and effective real-time visualization of functional groupings of GO terms and genes as well as statistical analysis of enriched functions. Conclusions: We developed NaviGO, which visualizes and analyses functional similarity and associations of GO terms and genes. The NaviGO webserver is freely available at: http://kiharalab.org/web/navigo. Keywords: Gene function, Gene ontology, GO, Ontology, GO directed acyclic graph, Function similarity, Gene function prediction, GO annotation, function enrichment analysis, GO parental terms, GO association score Background their parental relationship make it non-trivial to provide Functional elucidation of genes is one of the central an intuitive summary of GO annotations of genes.

  • ER–Lysosome Contacts Enable Cholesterol Sensing by Mtorc1 and Drive Aberrant Growth Signalling in Niemann–Pick Type C
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-019-0391-5 ER–lysosome contacts enable cholesterol sensing by mTORC1 and drive aberrant growth signalling in Niemann–Pick type C Chun-Yan Lim1,2, Oliver B.

Nomura 1,3 and Roberto Zoncu 1,2* Cholesterol activates the master growth regulator, mTORC1 kinase, by promoting its recruitment to the surface of lysosomes by the Rag guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases). The mechanisms that regulate lysosomal cholesterol content to enable mTORC1 signalling are unknown. Here, we show that oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) and its anchors at the endoplasmic retic- ulum (ER), VAPA and VAPB, deliver cholesterol across ER–lysosome contacts to activate mTORC1. In cells lacking OSBP, but not other VAP-interacting cholesterol carriers, the recruitment of mTORC1 by the Rag GTPases is inhibited owing to impaired transport of cholesterol to lysosomes. By contrast, OSBP-mediated cholesterol trafficking drives constitutive mTORC1 activa- tion in a disease model caused by the loss of the lysosomal cholesterol transporter, Niemann–Pick C1 (NPC1). Chemical and genetic inactivation of OSBP suppresses aberrant mTORC1 signalling and restores autophagic function in cellular models of Niemann–Pick type C (NPC). Thus, ER–lysosome contacts are signalling hubs that enable cholesterol sensing by mTORC1, and targeting the sterol-transfer activity of these signalling hubs could be beneficial in patients with NPC. he exchange of contents and signals between organelles is key of cholesterol within the lysosome, compromising its functional- to the execution of cellular programs for growth and homeo- ity and triggering NPC—a fatal metabolic and neurodegenerative stasis, and failure of this communication can cause disease.

  • (Osh) Protein Family in S. Cerevisiae Require Specific Lipids to Regulate Polarized Exocytosis
    Members of the OSBP Homologue (Osh) Protein Family in S. cerevisiae Require Specific Lipids to Regulate Polarized Exocytosis Richard Joseph Smindak Farmingdale, New York Bachelor of Science, SUNY Geneseo, 2011 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology University of Virginia May, 2017 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ i Abstract The Oxysterol Binding Proteins (OSBPs) are an evolutionarily conserved protein family in eukaryotes implicated in many cellular functions. One function, supported by a large body of in vitro data is lipid transfer between membranes. In addition, in vivo changes in lipid distribution among cellular membranes have been shown to be OSBP dependent, further suggesting a role for OSBPs in lipid homeostasis. Despite these observations, data supporting a role for OSBPs as dedicated lipid transfer proteins in vivo is less developed. It is not known whether lipid binding and transfer is the main function of the OSBP family or whether lipid binding and transfer also regulates OSBP activity in other processes. Beyond lipid transfer, in the yeast, S. cerevisiae, OSBPs have been found necessary for support of polarized exocytosis, the exocytosis of cellular materials to the site of polarized growth. Because OSBP activity supports polarized exocytosis, I focused on two questions regarding OSBP function: i) is lipid binding by the yeast OSBP Osh4p required for polarized exocytosis and ii) what processes within polarized exocytosis does Osh4p support. In this study, I establish that lipid binding by Osh4p, is required for polarized exocytosis. I also determined that lipid binding by Osh4p is required for exocytic vesicle docking at the plasma membrane and proposed a two-step model of Osh4p function in vesicle docking.

Once synthesized, many lipids must be delivered to other compartments by non-vesicular routes, a process that is undertaken by proteins called Lipid Transfer Proteins (LTPs). OSBP and the closely-related ORP and Osh proteins constitute a major, evolutionarily conserved family of LTPs in eukaryotes.
