  • Genome-Wide Identification of Whole ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC)
    Jeong et al. BMC Genomics 2014, 15:651 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/15/651 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide identification of whole ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus Chang-Bum Jeong1, Bo-Mi Kim2, Jae-Seong Lee2* and Jae-Sung Rhee3* Abstract Backgrounds: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily is one of the largest transporter gene families and is observed in all animal taxa. Although a large set of transcriptomic data was recently assembled for several species of crustaceans, identification and annotation of the large ABC transporter gene family have been very challenging. Results: In the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus, 46 putative ABC transporters were identified using in silico analysis, and their full-length cDNA sequences were characterized. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 46 T. japonicus ABC transporters are classified into eight subfamilies (A-H) that include all the members of all ABC subfamilies, consisting of five ABCA, five ABCB, 17 ABCC, three ABCD, one ABCE, three ABCF, seven ABCG, and five ABCH subfamilies. Of them, unique isotypic expansion of two clades of ABCC1 proteins was observed. Real-time RT-PCR-based heatmap analysis revealed that most T. japonicus ABC genes showed temporal transcriptional expression during copepod development. The overall transcriptional profile demonstrated that half of all T. japonicus ABC genes were strongly associated with at least one developmental stage. Of them, transcripts TJ-ABCH_88708 and TJ-ABCE1 were highly expressed during all developmental stages. Conclusions: The whole set of T. japonicus ABC genes and their phylogenetic relationships will provide a better understanding of the comparative evolution of essential gene family resources in arthropods, including the crustacean copepods.

  • ABC Transporter Subfamily D: Distinct Differences in Behavior Between ABCD1–3 and ABCD4 in Subcellular Localization, Function, and Human Disease

Kawaguchi and M. Morita. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are one of the largest families of membrane-bound proteins and transport a wide variety of substrates across both extra- and intracellular membranes. They play a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. To date, four ABC transporters belonging to subfamily D have been identified. ABCD1–3 and ABCD4 are localized to peroxisomes and lysosomes, respectively. ABCD1 and ABCD2 are involved in the transport of long and very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) or their CoA-derivatives into peroxisomes with different substrate specificities, while ABCD3 is involved in the transport of branched chain acyl-CoA into peroxisomes. On the other hand, ABCD4 is deduced to take part in the transport of vitamin B12 from lysosomes into the cytosol. It is well known that the dysfunction of ABCD1 results in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, a severe neurodegenerative disease.

Induction of the ABCD2 gene, the closest homolog of ABCD1, has been mentioned as a possible therapeutic option for the defective ABCD1 protein in X-ALD. However, little is known about the transcriptional regulation of ABCD2 gene expression. Here, through in silico analysis, we found two putative TCF-4 binding elements between nucleotide positions 2360 and 2260 of the promoter region of the ABCD2 gene. The transcriptional activity of the ABCD2 promoter was strongly increased by ectopic expression of b-catenin and TCF-4. In addition, mutation of either or both TCF-4 binding elements by site-directed mutagenesis decreased promoter activity. This was further validated by the finding that b-catenin and the promoter of the ABCD2 gene were pulled down with a b-catenin antibody in a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay.

PURPOSE The purpose of this Numbered Letter is to establish CCS policy on the authorization of diagnostic and treatment services for X-linked ALD for individuals with a positive NBS test. II. BACKGROUND X-linked ALD is an inherited peroxisomal disorder in which accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (VCLFA) in the brain, spinal cord and adrenal glands leads to demyelination in the brain and spinal cord, and impaired adrenal corticoid function in the adrenal cortex. The condition results from the mutations of the ABCD1 gene on the X chromosome. The ABCD1 gene codes for the ALD protein, which facilitates transport of VLCFA into peroxisomes. Absence of the protein results in an inability to transport and degrade VLCFA. Over 1,000 mutations associated with ALD have been identified. The incidence is between 1 in 20,000 and 1 in 50,000 births. There are multiple presentations of ALD, including childhood cerebral ALD, adolescent cerebral ALD, ‘Addison’s disease only’ and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). Childhood cerebral ALD most commonly presents in boys between the ages of four to eight years old, with intellectual or behavioral impairments.

  • Phosphorylation-Dependent Structural Changes in the N-Terminal Extension of SUR2A NBD1
    Phosphorylation-dependent structural changes in the N-terminal extension of SUR2A NBD1 By Clarissa Rana Sooklal A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of the Master of Science Graduate Department of Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Clarissa Rana Sooklal, 2015 0 Phosphorylation-dependent structural changes in the N-terminal extension of SUR2A NBD1 Master of Science 2015 Clarissa Rana Sooklal Graduate Department of Chemistry University of Toronto Abstract ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are involved in many biological processes and play an important role in sustaining healthy functioning organs. KATP channels are composed of four copies of a pore-forming Kir6.x protein that is surrounded by four copies of regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) proteins. SUR proteins are members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. Nucleotide binding and hydrolysis at the SUR proteins results in channel opening, which is potentiated by SUR protein phosphorylation. The studies conducted during this thesis aimed to understand how phosphorylation of the N-terminal extension (N-tail) of the first nucleotide binding domain (NBD1) of SUR2A alters its structure and influences the N-tail’s interaction with the core NBD1. This biophysical study utilizes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other biophysical techniques to understand these structural and dynamic changes in N-tail with phosphorylation which will allow us to further understand ATP-binding at NBD1 and control of KATP channel conductance. ii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank to my supervisor, Professor Voula Kanelis for all her support, guidance and direction. She has been my biggest inspiration and my role model throughout my graduate studies.
