The encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a mouse-tropic member of the picornavirus family that stimulates innate immune activation, leading to the production of cytokines. In response to cytokines, β-cells express inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and produce low micromolar levels of the free radical, nitric oxide. We have previously shown that, due to its inhibitory action on mitochondrial oxidation and depletion of cellular ATP, nitric oxide selectively attenuates EMCV replication in and lysis of β-cells. In this study, we show that one mechanism by which nitric oxide inhibits EMCV replication is by attenuating the accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. As a result, viral replication complex formation is prohibited, and viral replication is effectively prevented. In agreement with previous studies, we show that these observations are selective for β-cells and due to a loss of cellular ATP.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"41 1","pages":"110798"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145254541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most bacteria, CopA-like P1B-type ATPases mediate Cu detoxification by exporting cytoplasmic Cu to the periplasm or extracellular environment. In this study, we show that Caulobacter vibrioides lacks a canonical CopA-like ATPase but encodes a single FixI/CcoI-type Cu-transporting ATPase, previously implicated in Cu delivery to the cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase (Cox) in species such as Rhodobacter capsulatus. C. vibrioides harbors two terminal cytochrome c oxidases in its cytoplasmic membrane: an aa3-type and a cbb3-type Cox. We also demonstrate that the activity of cbb3-Cox requires the FixI-type Cu transporter and the periplasmic Cu chaperone PccA. In contrast, aa3-Cox activity depends on PccA and the inner membrane-bound protein CtaG. Since the mechanism of Cu acquisition for aa3-Cox remains largely unknown, we conducted a genetic screen and identified a novel outer membrane TonB-dependent receptor (TccA) that is specifically required for aa3-Cox function. We also showed that cbb3-Cox is upregulated under microaerobic conditions, possibly such as those encountered on solid media where O2 diffusion is limited. Under normoxic conditions, the expression and the activity of cbb3-Cox decrease, and aa3-Cox becomes the predominant terminal oxidase. These findings demonstrate that C. vibrioides differentially utilizes its Cox enzymes in response to O2 availability and relies on a distinct Cu trafficking pathway for their maturation, including an outer membrane component that has not been previously described in bacterial Cu homeostasis.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"22 1","pages":"110786"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CYP11A1 is involved in the first step in the steroidogenic pathway, converting cholesterol to pregnenolone, whereas CYP11B2 completes the final step in aldosterone synthesis. Each is a drug target for a distinct disease, and detailed information about enzyme kinetics and function could inform drug development. Both enzymes require the common redox partner adrenodoxin. Adrenodoxin allosterically modulates CYP11B2 function separate from its role in electron transfer. Herein, stopped-flow investigations establish that adrenodoxin is also an allosteric modulator of CYP11A1 substrate binding. For both enzymes, a kinetic modeling approach was used to elucidate the substrate binding mechanisms in the absence and presence of adrenodoxin. This analysis determined that substrate binding to both enzymes is best described by a complex, 4-state mechanism. Substrate 11-deoxycorticosterone binds CYP11B2 primarily through a branched induced fit mechanism, and the presence of adrenodoxin shifts the mechanism to a 4-state closed model containing both induced fit and conformational selection steps. CYP11A1 primarily binds its substrate 20R,22R-dihydroxycholesterol through a 4-state closed mechanism, while increasing adrenodoxin results in enhancement of the conformational selection step. Overall, this demonstrates the complexity of both P450 substrate binding and its fine-tuning by interactions with redox partners.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"22 1","pages":"110792"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SHIP1 plays an important role in processes such as directed cell migration, endocytosis, and cortical membrane oscillations. Alterations in SHIP1 expression have been shown to perturb myeloid cell chemotaxis and differentiation. In the brain, SHIP1 regulate microglial cell behaviors, which has been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the structural and functional relationships of SHIP1 is critical for developing ways to modulate SHIP1 membrane localization and lipid phosphatase activity during immune cell signaling. Recently, we discovered that the N-terminal SH2 domain of SHIP1 suppresses lipid phosphatase activity. SHIP1 autoinhibition can be relieved through interactions with receptor-derived phosphotyrosine (pY) peptides presented on membranes or in solution. Using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) we identified intramolecular contacts between the N-terminal SH2 domain and CBL1 motif of the C2 domain that limit SHIP1 membrane localization and activity. Single molecule measurements of purified SHIP1 on supported lipid bilayers and in neutrophil-like cells support a model in which the SH2 domain blocks membrane binding of the central catalytic module. Mutations that disrupt autoinhibition enhance the membrane binding frequency and increase the catalytic efficiency of SHIP1. Although dimerization of SHIP1 enhances membrane localization and the apparent phosphatase activity, it is not required for SHIP1 autoinhibition.

Type IV pili are extended out from the cell by extension enzyme complexes, which extract subunits from the membrane and insert them into the base of the filament, but can also be retracted by reverse rotation catalyzed by a retraction enzyme. Type IV pili have diverse functions, including twitching motility and DNA-uptake, which require retraction, and host adhesion and bacterial aggregation, which do not. Acinetobacter bacteria, including International Clone I (IC-I) and International Clone II (IC-II) strains, show variable phenotypes in assays of type IV pilus-dependent functions. Here, we show this variation is the result of differentiation of type IV pilus subtypes in Acinetobacter, which we defined based on the sequence of the major subunit, PilA. These subtypes show variable efficiency in pilus retraction between pilus subtypes, and from that, a differential balance between retraction-dependent and retraction-independent functions. In both naturally-occurring pilA variants from the IC-I and IC-II groups and isogenic strains complemented with IC-I or IC-II pilA, the IC-I pilus subtype promotes greater twitching motility and DNA-uptake while the IC-II pilus subtype promotes biofilm formation while showing reduced capacity for DNA-uptake and twitching motility, similar to a retraction-deficient mutant and consistent with the hypothesis that pilus retraction of the IC-II pilus is naturally deficient. This defect in retraction was sufficient to increase the level of piliation on the cell surface when we compared the yields of T4P sheared from the cell surface from IC-I pilA and IC-II pilA complements in an isogenic background. Complementation with IC-II pilA results in greater levels of surface PilA per cell than equivalent complementation with an IC-I pilA gene. Additionally, direct comparisons of pilus stability between type IV pili isolated from IC-I pilA and IC-II pilA complements show greater thermostability for the IC-II pili, supporting the hypothesis that pilus stability can impede retraction and increase piliation.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"82 1","pages":"110787"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we identify a non-conserved region within the integrin-CT, termed the WN linker, that modulates talin1 binding kinetics and integrin adhesiveness. Single-molecule imaging in live lymphocytes revealed that talin1 bound more strongly to β2 than β7 integrin, with higher off-rates in β7 in vivo. This difference was due to the unique NND sequence in the β2 WN linker compared with KQDS in the β7 WN linker. Structural and biochemical analyses showed that NND established a tighter interaction with talin, whereas KQDS bent, narrowing the interaction area and weakening the interaction. Substituting the NND sequence in β2 with KQDS impaired inside-out signaling- and ligand binding-induced conformational activation of LFA1. Multiple sequence alignment and single-molecule binding analyses revealed that the NND sequence is highly conserved only in mammalian β2 integrins, and that the second asparagine in NND, a residue absent in non-mammalian β2 integrins and other integrins, plays a key role in talin1 binding. Parallel observations in β3 integrins reinforced the pivotal role of the WN linker in modulating integrin-talin affinity.

However, biosynthetic mechanisms of Drosophila CS remain to be elucidated. To investigate the CS biosynthesis in Drosophila, we generated mutants for two additional biosynthetic enzyme genes, CS N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (Csgalnact) and CS 4-O sulfotransferase (C4st), using CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis.

We found that this gene is dispensable for normal viability and morphogenesis. On the other hand, C4st mutants show more severe defects, including a high level of lethality and a folded wing phenotype. The C4st mutation not only eliminates CS sulfation but increases production of unsulfated chondroitin, suggesting the existence of a compensatory feedback mechanism.

Two key enzymes of cyanophycin metabolism are cyanophycin synthase (CphA) producing cyanophycin, and cyanophycinase (CphB) catalysing the first step of cyanophycin degradation. CphB is a well conserved enzyme found in the majority of cyanobacteria, and ubiquitous amongst those that are known to perform heterotrophy besides their primary photosynthetic lifestyle. Unlike in diazotrophs, where CphB is connected to the mobilization of fixed nitrogen, the importance of this enzyme remains elusive in non-diazotrophs, such as the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The Synechocystis ΔcphB deletion strain does not accumulate cyanophycin and shows no photoautotrophic growth defect. However, we show here that ΔcphB is not able to proliferate heterotrophically, although the CphA-less strain exhibits no obvious defect under heterotrophic conditions. Metabolomics profiling revealed that ΔcphB failed to upregulate the biosynthesis of arginine and displayed missregulated carbon and nucleoside metabolisms. These suggest that CphB is needed for the activation of the arginine pathway, which appeared to be crucial for balancing the nitrogen and carbon ratio during the acclimation to heterotrophy. On the other hand, the interaction of CphB with the Arg biosynthetic enzyme, acetylornithine aminotransferase, stimulated the hydrolysis of cyanophycin in an in vitro assay. These data, together with the metabolic profiles of ΔcphB, imply that the catabolism of cyanophycin and the biosynthesis of Arg are mutually co-regulated metabolic pathways.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"213 1","pages":"110791"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
