Since there may be a putative link between sex and language and because transcription factors rarely function in isolation, this study aims to investigate whether FOXP2 directly associates with oestrogen receptor α (ER1), a nuclear receptor responsible for sexual differentiation that is also associated with cancer. Isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence anisotropy were used to investigate the interaction between the DNA-binding forkhead domain (FHD) of FOXP2, the N-terminal region (NT) of FOXP2, and the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of ER1. ER1 LBD does not interact with FOXP2 NT but associates with apo-FOXP2 FHD in an enthalpically favourable manner. The affinity of this interaction is inversely correlated to the salt concentration. Additionally, FOXP2 FHD that is bound to ER1 LBD, has reduced ability to interact with its cognate DNA. This research identifies a novel interaction between ER1 LBD and FOXP2 FHD and shows that the interaction is regulated by salt. Moreover, FOXP2 FHD cannot bind to both ER1 LBD and DNA simultaneously, suggesting that this interaction could be involved in regulating the transcriptional pathway of FOXP2 should the interaction be found in vivo. This study could serve as a foundation for uncovering the basis of sexual dimorphism in speech and language development and related disorders and potentially offers an alternate for targeted cancer therapies.</div>","PeriodicalId":251,"journal":{"name":"Biochimie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139578266","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}

In addition, we found that HuD interacts exclusively with the active form of Akt1, through the linker region. Although this interaction is essential for neurite outgrowth, HuD is not a substrate for Akt1, raising questions about the dynamics between HuD-mediated translational stimulation and its association with active Akt1.Here, we demonstrate that active Akt1 interacts with the cap-binding complex via HuD. We identify key amino acids in linker region of HuD responsible for Akt1 interaction, leading to the generation of two point-mutated HuD variants: one that is incapable of binding to Akt1 and another that can interact with Akt1 regardless of its phosphorylation status. In vitro translation assays using these mutants reveal that HuD-mediated translation stimulation is independent of its binding to Akt1. In addition, it is evident that the interaction between HuD and active Akt1 is essential for HuD-induced neurite outgrowth, whereas a HuD mutant capable of binding to any form of Akt1 leads to aberrant neurite development.Collectively, our results revisit the understanding of the HuD-Akt1 interaction in translation and suggest that this interaction contributes to HuD-mediated neurite outgrowth via a unique molecular mechanism distinct from translation regulation.</div>","PeriodicalId":251,"journal":{"name":"Biochimie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139498740","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}

This study investigates α-amylases, major digestive enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing starch and similar polysaccharides into sugars, in Enchytraeus albidus. Genetic data related to α-amylases is currently lacking for the family Enchytraeidae but also for the entire Annelida. To detect and identify coding sequences of the expressed α-amylase genes in COI-monohaplotype culture (PL-A strain) of E. albidus, we used classical “gene fishing” and transcriptomic approaches. We also compared coding sequence variants of α-amylase retrieved from transcriptomic data related to freeze-tolerant strains. Our results reveal that E. albidus possesses two distinct α-amylase genes (Amy I and Amy II) that are homologs to earthworm Eisenia fetida Ef-Amy genes. Different strains of E. albidus possess distinctive alleles of α-amylases with unique SNP patterns specific to a particular strain. Unlike Amy II, Amy I seems to be a highly polymorphic and multicopy gene. The domain architecture of the putative Amy proteins was found the same as for classical animal α-amylases with ABC-domains. A characteristic feature of Amy II is the lack of GHGA motif in the flexible loop region, similarly to many insect amylases. We identified “Enchytraeus-Eisenia type” α-amylase homologs in other clitellates and polychaetes, indicating the ancestral origin of Amy I/II proteins in Annelida.

Lots of findings, when making efforts of solving this difficulty, can offer an in-depth understanding into the mechanism behind. However, the functional network on modulating ΔΨm is highly interdependent. It is difficult to comprehend the consequences of altered activity of ATP synthases on adjusting ΔΨm because parameters that have influences on ΔΨm would themselves be affected by ΔΨm. In this work, a computer model was applied to check the kinetic changes in polarization/depolarization across the thylakoid membrane (TM) regulated by the modified action of ATP synthases. The computing data revealed that under the extreme condition by numerically “switching off” the action of the ATP synthase, the complete inactivation of ATP synthase would markedly impede proton translocation at the cytb6f complex. Concurrently, the KEA3 (CLCe) porter, actively pumping protons into the stroma, further contributes to achieving a sustained low level of ΔΨm. Besides, the quantitative consequences on every particular component of ΔΨm adjusted by the modified functioning of ATP synthases were also explored.
