Human norovirus (HuNoV) primarily targets human small intestinal epithelial cells, within which 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide (sulfatide) ranks among the most abundant glycosphingolipids (GSLs). While sulfatide involvement in the binding and infection mechanism of several viruses has been documented, its interaction with noroviruses remains underexplored. This study investigated whether noroviruses interact with sulfatide. We found that the recombinant viral capsid protein VP1 of HuNoV (genogroups I and II) and murine norovirus (genogroup V) exhibited robust binding to sulfatide compared with other tested GSLs using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, thin-layer chromatography binding assay and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction binding assay. VP1 also bound 3-O-sulfated lactosylceramide, which shares the 3-O-sulfated galactose moiety with sulfatide. However, both VP1 and its P domain, identified as the sulfatide-binding domain, exhibited limited binding to structural analogues of sulfatide and other sulfated compounds. These findings suggest a specific recognition of the 3-O-sulfated galactose moiety. Notably, we found that sulfatide is a novel binding target for norovirus particles. Overall, our findings reveal a previously unknown norovirus-sulfatide interaction, proposing sulfatide as a potential candidate for norovirus infection receptors.","PeriodicalId":15234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141620027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various proteins are involved in the eukaryotic NER system and undergo several post-translational modifications. Damaged DNA-binding protein 2 (DDB2) is a DNA damage recognition factor in the NER pathway. We previously demonstrated that DDB2 was SUMOylated in response to UV irradiation; however, its physiological roles remain unclear. We herein analysed several mutants and showed that the N-terminal tail of DDB2 was the target for SUMOylation; however, this region did not contain a consensus SUMOylation sequence. We found a SUMO-interacting motif (SIM) in the N-terminal tail that facilitated SUMOylation. The ubiquitination of a SUMOylation-deficient DDB2 SIM mutant was decreased, and its retention of chromatin was prolonged. The SIM mutant showed impaired NER, possibly due to a decline in the timely handover of the lesion site to XP complementation group C. These results suggest that the SUMOylation of DDB2 facilitates NER through enhancements in ubiquitination.","PeriodicalId":15234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11444932/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141792533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we established an absolute quantification method for the transcription factors BACH1 and BACH2, which are expressed in B cells and regulated by direct heme binding. The method used purified recombinant proteins as controls in Western blotting and was applied to mouse naïve B cells in the spleen, as well as activated B cells and plasma cells. BACH1 was present in naïve B cells at approximately half the levels of BACH2. In activated B cells, BACH1 decreased compared to naïve B cells, while BACH2 increased. In plasma cells, BACH1 increased back to the same extent as in naïve B cells, while BACH2 was not detected. Their target genes Prdm1 and Hmox1 were highly induced in plasma cells. BACH1 was found to undergo degradation with lower concentrations of heme than BACH2. Therefore, BACH1 and BACH2 are similarly abundant in B cells but differ in heme sensitivity, potentially regulating gene expression differently depending on their heme responsiveness.","PeriodicalId":15234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142347461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After fertilization, TGase undergoes processing. We isolated hTGase from extracts of unfertilized and water-activated rainbow trout eggs. Rainbow trout hTGase (Rt-hTGase) appeared as an 80 kDa protein, and its processed form was 55 kDa. Their N-terminal amino acid sequences were nearly identical, suggesting processing in the C-terminal region. The specific activities were not significantly different, indicating that C-terminal processing does not activate the enzyme itself. We cloned the cDNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using degenerate primers followed by RACE-PCR. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA was similar to that of factor XIII subunit A (FXIIIA). Molecular phylogenetic and gene syntenic analyses clearly showed that hTGase was produced by duplication of FXIIIA during the evolution to Teleostei. The 55 kDa processed form of Rt-hTGase is predominantly composed of an enzyme domain predicted from the amino acid sequence of the cDNA. It is hypothesized that the C-terminal domain of Rt-hTGase binds to egg envelope proteins, and that processing allows the enzyme to move freely within the egg envelope, increasing substrate-enzyme interaction and thereby accelerating hardening.","PeriodicalId":15234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-term subclone co-cultures showed clonal drift, with a single subclone becoming dominant in the cell population. Interestingly, the selected subclones were not always the same, suggesting that clonal selection was not based on cell intrinsic properties. Furthermore, liver tumours developed by co-transplantation of organoid subclones into the immunodeficient mouse spleen showed a progressive drastic reduction in clonal diversity, and only one or two subclones predominated in the majority of large metastatic tumours. Importantly, selections were not limited to particular subclones but appeared to be random. A trend towards a reduction in clonal diversity was also found in liver metastases of multiple colour-labelled organoids of mouse intestinal tumours. Based on these results, we propose a novel mechanism of metastasis development, i.e. a subclone population of the disseminated tumour cells in the liver is selected by neutral selection during colonization and constitutes large metastatic tumours.","PeriodicalId":15234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141419256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the extracts were used to identify antiviral molecules against SARS-CoV-2. Using a cytopathic effect (CPE) assay in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells, an extract from the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei was found to reduce virus-induced CPE. Eventually, onnamide A was identified as an antiviral compound in the extract using column chromatography and NMR analysis. Onnamide A inhibited several SARS-CoV-2 variant-induced CPEs in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells as well as virus production in the supernatant of infected cells. Moreover, this compound blocked the entry of SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-virions.

The pH-dependent profile of the electron transfer activity with FNR was quite different between Fd1 and Fd2, which was mainly explained by the opposite pH dependency of the Km value of these Fds for FNR. Replacement of the amino acid residue at position of 65 (D65N) and 78 (H78A) between the two Fds conferred different effect on their pH dependency of the Km value. Double mutations of the two residues between Fd1 and Fd2 (Fd1D65N/H78A and Fd2N65D/A78H) led to the mutual exchange of the pH dependency of the electron transfer activity. This exchange was mainly explained by the changes in the pH-dependent profile of the Km values.

Atg8-system mutants also displayed intravacuolar vesicles resembling autophagic bodies, albeit at significantly reduced size and frequency.
