However, the low expression level of membrane proteins, as well as their poor stability in solution and tendency to precipitate and aggregate, are major bottlenecks in the preparation of purified membrane proteins for structural studies. Traditionally, the evaluation of membrane protein constructs for structural studies has been quite time consuming and expensive since it is necessary to express and purify the proteins on a large scale, particularly for X-ray crystallography. The emergence of fluorescence detection size exclusion chromatography (FSEC) has drastically changed this situation, as this method can be used to rapidly evaluate the expression and behavior of membrane proteins on a small scale without the need for purification. FSEC has become the most widely used method for the screening of expression conditions and sample evaluation for membrane proteins, leading to the successful determination of numerous structures. Even in the era of cryo-EM, FSEC and the new generation of FSEC derivative methods are being widely used in various manners to facilitate structural analysis. In addition, the application of FSEC is not limited to structural analysis; this method is also widely used for functional analysis of membrane proteins, including for analysis of oligomerization state, screening of antibodies and ligands, and affinity profiling. This review presents the latest advances and applications in membrane protein expression screening and sample evaluation, with a particular focus on FSEC methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":"436 22","pages":"Article 168809"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142370599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the number of ACPs that have been experimentally validated is limited as identification of ACPs is extremely expensive. Hence, accurate and cost-effective identification methods for ACPs are urgently needed. In this work, we proposed a deep learning-based model, named iACP-DFSRA, for ACPs identification. Specifically, we adopted two kinds of sequence embedding technologies, ProtBert_BFD pre-training language model and handcrafted features to encode protein sequences. Then, the LightGBM was used for feature selection, and the selected features were input into ResCNN and Attention mechanism, respectively, to extract local and global features. Finally, the concatenate features were deeply fused by using the Attention mechanism to allow key features to be paid more attention to by the model and make predictions by fully connected layer. The results of 10-fold cross-validation demonstrated that the iACP-DFSRA model delivered improved results in most metrics with <em>Sp</em> of 94.15%, <em>Sn</em> of 95.32%, <em>Acc</em> of 94.74% and <em>MCC</em> of 89.48% compared to the latest AACFlow model. Indeed, the iACP-DFSRA model is the only model with <em>Acc</em> &gt; 90% and <em>MCC</em> &gt; 80% on this independent test dataset. Furthermore, we have further demonstrated the superiority of our model on additional datasets. In addition, t-SNE and SHAP interpretation analysis demonstrated that it is crucial to use two channels for feature extraction and use the Attention mechanism for deep fusion, which helps the iACP-DFSRA to predict ACPs more effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":"436 22","pages":"Article 168810"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142370598","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}

However, none of the structures of the Dps-DNA complex was resolved to high resolution to identify the DNA binding residues. Like other bacteria, <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis also</em> expresses Dps2 (called MsDps2), which binds DNA to protect it under oxidative stress conditions. In this study, we implemented various biochemical and biophysical studies to characterize the DNA protein interactions of Dps2 protein from <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em>. We employed single-particle cryo-EM-based structural analysis of MsDps2-DNA complexes and identified that the region close to the N-terminus confers the DNA binding property. Based on cryo-EM data, we also pinpointed several arginine residues, proximal to the DNA binding region, responsible for DNA binding. We also performed mutations of these residues, which dramatically reduced the MsDps2-DNA interaction. In addition, we proposed a model that elucidates the mechanism of DNA compaction, which adapts a lattice-like structure. We performed single-molecule imaging of MsDps2-DNA interactions that corroborate well with our structural studies.

Pressure produces anisotropic changes in CcP, but compressibility plateaus after 1.5 kbar. CcP responds to pressure with volume declines at the periphery of the protein where B-factors are relatively high but maintains nearly intransient core structure, hydrogen bonding interactions and active site channels. Changes in active-site solvation and heme ligation reveal pressure sensitivity to protein–ligand interactions and a potential docking site for the substrate peroxide. Compression at the surface affects neither alternate side-chain conformers nor B-factors. Thus, packing in the core, which resembles a crystalline solid, limits motion and protects the active site, whereas looser packing at the surface preserves side-chain dynamics. These data demonstrate that conformational dynamics and packing densities are not fully correlated in proteins and that encapsulation of cofactors by the polypeptide can provide a precisely structured environment resistant to change across a wide range of physical conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":"436 22","pages":"Article 168799"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142338551","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}

Previous efforts focus largely on investigation of the 5′ UTR hairpin structures. In this study, we present a rational strategy that enhances mRNA stability and translation by engineering both the 5′ and 3′ UTR sequences. We have successfully demonstrated this strategy using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a model in <em>Escherichia coli</em> and across different expression vectors. We further validated it with luciferase and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH). To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we have quantitatively analyzed both protein, mRNA levels and half-life time. We have identified several key aspects of UTRs that significantly influence mRNA stability and protein expression in our system: (1) The optimal length of the single-stranded spacer between the stabilizer hairpin and ribosome binding site (RBS) in the 5′ UTR is 25–30 nucleotide (nt) long. An optimal 32% GC content in the spacer yielded the highest levels of GFP protein production. (2) The insertion of a homodimerdizable, G-quadruplex structure containing RNA aptamer, “Corn”, in the 3′ UTR markedly increased the protein expression. Our findings indicated that the carefully engineered 5′ UTRs and 3′ UTRs significantly boosted gene expression. Specifically, the inclusion of 5 × Corn in the 3′ UTR appeared to facilitate the local aggregation of mRNA, leading to the formation of mRNA condensates.

To gain a better understanding of the function and regulation of this protein, we determined crystal structures of SIAE from three mammalian homologs, including an acetate bound structure.

Attempts to determine a substrate-bound structure yielded only the hydrolyzed product acetate in the active site. Rigid docking of complete substrates followed by molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the active site does not form specific interactions with substrates, rather it appears to be broadly specific to accept sialoglycans with diverse modifications. Based on the acetate bound structure, a catalytic mechanism is proposed. Structural mapping of disease mutations reveals that most are located on the surface of the enzyme and would only cause minor disruptions to the protein fold, suggesting that these mutations likely affect binding to other factors.
