Accordingly, the majority described as one of the nucleoid associated proteins of known sRNA interacts nearby the ribosome binding shaping the bacterial chromosome, although it is site to prevent initiation of translation and thus favours better known to influence translation and turnover mRNA decay (4, 5, 6). Few studies have shed light of cellular RNAs. Here, we explore the role of on the importance of Hfq in DNA metabolism.

Abstract: The Hfq protein is a bacterial RNA chaperone, involved in many molecular interactions, including control of actions of various small RNA regulatory molecules. We found that the presence of Hfq was required for survival of plasmid-containing Escherichia coli cells against high concentrations of chloramphenicol (plasmid p27cmr), tetracycline (pSC101, pBR322) and ampicillin (pBR322), as hfq+ strains were more resistant to these antibiotics than the hfq-null mutant. In striking contrast, production of Hfq resulted in low resistance to high concentrations of kanamycin when the antibiotic- resistance marker was chromosome-borne, with deletion of hfq resulting in increasing bacterial survival. These results were observed both in solid and liquid medium, suggesting that antibiotic resistance is an intrinsic feature of these strains rather than a consequence of adaptation. Despite its major role as RNA chaperone, which also affects mRNA stability, Hfq was not found to significantly affect kan and tet mRNAs turnover. Nevertheless, kan mRNA steady-state levels were higher in Citation: Gaffke, L.; Kubiak, K.; the hfq-null mutant compared to the hfq+ strain, suggesting that Hfq can act as a repressor of kan Cyske, Z.; W˛egrzyn,G.

Proteins with RNA chaperone activity are ubiquitous proteins that play important roles in cellular mechanisms. They prevent RNA from misfolding by loosening misfolded structures without ATP consumption. RNA chaperone activity is studied in vitro and in vivo using oligonucleotide- or ribozyme-based assays. Due to their functional as well as structural diversity, a common chaperoning mechanism or universal motif has not yet been identified. A growing database of proteins with RNA chaperone activity has been established based on evaluation of chaperone activity via the described assays. Although the exact mechanism is not yet understood, it is more and more believed that disordered regions within proteins play an important role. This possible mechanism and which proteins were found to possess RNA chaperone activity are discussed here. 1. Introduction In the cellular environment, RNA molecules do not appear as “naked” nucleic acids but always are found in Among all biological macromolecules, RNAs represent one conjunction with proteins.

    Intermolecular Base Stacking Mediates RNA-RNA Interaction in a Crystal

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Intermolecular base stacking mediates RNA-RNA interaction in a crystal structure of the RNA Received: 12 April 2017 Accepted: 2 August 2017 chaperone Hfq Published: xx xx xxxx Eike C. Schulz1,2,5, Markus Seiler1,6, Cecilia Zuliani1, Franka Voigt1,7, Vladimir Rybin3, Vivian Pogenberg 2, Norbert Mücke4, Matthias Wilmanns2, Toby J. Gibson1 & Orsolya Barabas1 The RNA-chaperone Hfq catalyses the annealing of bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) with target mRNAs to regulate gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. Hfq acts on a diverse set of sRNA- mRNA pairs using a variety of diferent molecular mechanisms. Here, we present an unusual crystal structure showing two Hfq-RNA complexes interacting via their bound RNA molecules. The structure contains two Hfq6:A18 RNA assemblies positioned face-to-face, with the RNA molecules turned towards each other and connected via interdigitating base stacking interactions at the center. Biochemical data further confrm the observed interaction, and indicate that RNA-mediated contacts occur between Hfq-RNA complexes with various (ARN)X motif containing RNA sequences in vitro, including the stress response regulator OxyS and its target, flA. A systematic computational survey also shows that phylogenetically conserved (ARN)X motifs are present in a subset of sRNAs, some of which share similar modular architectures. We hypothesise that Hfq can co-opt RNA-RNA base stacking, an unanticipated structural trick, to promote the interaction of (ARN)X motif containing sRNAs with target mRNAs on a “speed-dating” fashion, thereby supporting their regulatory function. Non-coding RNAs play key roles in regulating gene expression in all domains of life.

    FARE2021WINNERS Sorted By Institute Swati Shah Postdoctoral Fellow CC Radiology/Imaging/PET and Neuroimaging Characterization of CNS involvement in Ebola-Infected Macaques using Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 18F-FDG PET and Immunohistology The Ebola (EBOV) virus outbreak in Western Africa resulted in residual neurologic abnormalities in survivors. Many case studies detected EBOV in the CSF, suggesting that the neurologic sequelae in survivors is related to viral presence. In the periphery, EBOV infects endothelial cells and triggers a “cytokine stormâ€. However, it is unclear whether a similar process occurs in the brain, with secondary neuroinflammation, neuronal loss and blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise, eventually leading to lasting neurological damage. We have used in vivo imaging and post-necropsy immunostaining to elucidate the CNS pathophysiology in Rhesus macaques infected with EBOV (Makona). Whole brain MRI with T1 relaxometry (pre- and post-contrast) and FDG-PET were performed to monitor the progression of disease in two cohorts of EBOV infected macaques from baseline to terminal endpoint (day 5-6). Post-necropsy, multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemical (MF-IHC) staining for various cellular markers in the thalamus and brainstem was performed. Serial blood and CSF samples were collected to assess disease progression. The linear mixed effect model was used for statistical analysis. Post-infection, we first detected EBOV in the serum (day 3) and CSF (day 4) with dramatic increases until euthanasia. The standard uptake values of FDG-PET relative to whole brain uptake (SUVr) in the midbrain, pons, and thalamus increased significantly over time (p<0.01) and positively correlated with blood viremia (p≤0.01).

RICHARDSON* Institute of Biology, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Clifford J. Tabin has made pioneering contributions to several fields in biology, including retroviruses, oncogenes, developmental biology and evolution. His father, a physicist who worked in the Manhattan project, kindled his interest in science. Cliff later chose to study biology and started his research career when the world of recombinant DNA was opening up. In Robert Weinberg’s lab, he constructed the Moloney leukaemia virus (MLV-tk), the first recombi- nant retrovirus that could be used as a eukaryotic vector. He also discovered the amino acid changes leading to the activation of Ras, the first human oncogene discovered. As an independent researcher, he began in the field of urodele limb regeneration, and described the expression of retinoic acid receptor and Hox genes in the blastema. Moving to the chick model, his was one of the labs that simultaneously cloned the first vertebrate hedgehog cognates and showed that sonic hedgehog functions as a morphogen in certain developmental contexts, in particular as an organizing activity during limb development. Comparative studies by Ann Burke in his lab showed that differences in boundaries of Hox gene expression across vertebrate phylogeny correlated with differences in skeletal morphology. The Tabin lab also discovered a genetic pathway responsible for mediating left-right asymmetry in vertebrates; helped uncover the pathways leading to dorsoventral limb patterning; made contributions to our understanding of skeletal morphogenesis and identified developmental mechanisms that might underpin the diversifica- tion of the beak in Darwin’s finches.

In spite of the role metabolism plays in adaptation, the genetic basis for metabolic variation remains poorly understood. Here we use independently derived populations of Astyanax mexicanus, a Mexican tetra, to interrogate the genetic basis of extreme metabolic variation between surface and cave adapted populations. In the cave environment, food is much more scarce than in nutrient-rich rivers. Cave populations of Astyanax mexicanus rely on sporadic input of food from outside the cave. As a result, cave fish populations have evolved a suite of metabolic traits such as: starvation resistance, hyperphagia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance.
