The opportunistic pathogen <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> uses OhyA to counteract the innate immune system and support colonization. Many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in the microbiome also encode OhyA. OhyA is a dimeric flavoenzyme whose carboxy terminus is identified as the membrane binding domain; however, understanding how OhyA binds to cellular membranes is not complete until the membrane-bound structure has been elucidated. All available OhyA structures depict the solution state of the protein outside its functional environment. Here, we employ liposomes to solve the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the functional unit: the OhyA•membrane complex. The protein maintains its structure upon membrane binding and slightly alters the curvature of the liposome surface. OhyA preferentially associates with 20–30 nm liposomes with multiple copies of OhyA dimers assembling on the liposome surface resulting in the formation of higher-order oligomers. Dimer assembly is cooperative and extends along a formed ridge of the liposome. We also solved an OhyA dimer of dimers structure that recapitulates the intermolecular interactions that stabilize the dimer assembly on the membrane bilayer as well as the crystal contacts in the lattice of the OhyA crystal structure.

Understanding the interstitial fluid dynamics is necessary to better understand the bone mechanobiology. Due to the submicrometric dimensions of the LCN, making it difficult to experimentally investigate fluid dynamics, numerical models appear as a relevant tool for such investigation. To develop such models, there is a need for geometrical and morphological data on the human LCN. This study aims at providing morphological data on the human LCN from measurement of 27 human femoral diaphysis bone samples using synchrotron radiation nano-computed tomography with an isotropic voxel size of 100 nm. Except from the canalicular diameter, the canalicular morphological parameters presented a high variability within one sample. Some differences in terms of both lacunar and canalicular morphology were observed between the male and female populations. But it has to be highlighted that all the canaliculi cannot be detected with a voxel size of 100 nm. Hence, in the current study, only a specific population of large canaliculi that could be characterize. Still, to the authors knowledge, this is the first time such a data set was introduced to the community.

Prior work has demonstrated the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of AF. Mitochondrial structure, interactions with other organelles such as sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and T-tubules (TT), and degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria via mitophagy are important processes to understand ultrastructural changes due to AF. However, most analysis of mitochondrial structure and interactome in AF has been limited to two-dimensional (2D) modalities such as transmission electron microscopy (EM), which does not fully visualize the morphological evolution of the mitochondria during mitophagy. Herein, we utilize focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and perform reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) EM from murine left atrial samples and measure the interactions of mitochondria with SR and TT. We developed a novel 3D quantitative analysis of FIB-SEM in a murine model of AF to quantify mitophagy stage, mitophagosome size in cardiomyocytes, and mitochondrial structural remodeling when compared with control mice. We show that in our murine model of spontaneous and continuous AF due to persistent late sodium current, left atrial cardiomyocytes have heterogenous mitochondria, with a significant number which are enlarged with increased elongation and structural complexity. Mitophagosomes in AF cardiomyocytes are located at Z-lines where they neighbor large, elongated mitochondria. Mitochondria in AF cardiomyocytes show increased organelle interaction, with 5X greater contact area with SR and are 4X as likely to interact with TT when compared to control. We show that mitophagy in AF cardiomyocytes involves 2.5X larger mitophagosomes that carry increased organelle contents. In conclusion, when oxidative stress overcomes compensatory mechanisms, mitophagy in AF faces a challenge of degrading bulky complex mitochondria, which may result in increased SR and TT contacts, perhaps allowing for mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> maintenance and antioxidant production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108110"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141620264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology of PD can be attributed to the presence and aggregation of a protein known as α-synuclein. Researchers have observed that the application of an external electrostatic field holds the potential to induce the separation of the fibrous structures into peptides. To comprehend this phenomenon, our investigation involved simulations conducted on the α-synuclein peptides through the application of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation techniques under the influence of a 0.1 V/nm electric field. The results obtained from the MD simulations revealed that in the presence of external electric field, the monomer and oligomeric forms of α-synuclein are experienced significant conformational changes which could prevent them from further aggregation. However, as the number of peptide units in the model system increases, forming trimers and tetramers, the stability against the electric field also increases. This enhanced stability in larger aggregates indicates a critical threshold in α-synuclein assembly where the electric field’s effectiveness in disrupting the aggregation diminishes. Therefore, our findings suggest that early diagnosis and intervention could be crucial in preventing PD progression. When α-synuclein predominantly exists in its monomeric or dimeric form, applying even a lower electric field could effectively disrupt the initial aggregation process. Inhibition of α-synuclein fibril formation at early stages might serve as a viable solution to combat PD by halting the formation of more stable and pathogenic α-synuclein fibrils.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108109"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The obtained images of living cells usually have low resolution and are easily influenced by noise leading to unsatisfactory imaging quality, obstructing the research and analysis based on cell images. Herein, an adaptive attention image reconstruction network based on residual encoder-decoder was proposed, through the combination of deep learning technology and atomic force microscope imaging supporting high-quality cell image acquisition. Compared with other learning-based methods, the proposed network showed higher peak signal-to-noise ratio, higher structural similarity and better image reconstruction performances. In addition, the cell images reconstructed by each method were used for cell recognition, and the cell images reconstructed by the proposed network had the highest cell recognition rate. The proposed network has brought insights into the atomic force microscope-based imaging of living cells and cell image reconstruction, which is of great significance in biological and medical research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of structural biology","volume":"216 3","pages":"Article 108107"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141437090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
