We predicted the gene structure of P. fucata TM (Pifuc-TM) using Splign alignment of our cDNA with genomic sequences and elucidated that Pifuc-TM consists of 10 exons. Exons 1 - 3 and 5 - 10 are used to transcribe Pifuc-TM-1 mRNA, and exons 1 - 4 and 6 - 10 are used to transcribe Pifuc-TM-2 mRNA. Both genes share the same start and stop codons located in exon 1 and exon 10, respectively. Using quantitative real-time PCR, we determined that the Pifuc-TM-1 gene was mainly expressed in adductor phasic muscle, and at a relatively weaker level in adductor catch muscle, whereas the Pifuc-TM-2 gene was expressed equally in both phasic and catch muscles. They were weakly expressed in gill and mantle. Immunoblot analysis using anti-Pifuc-TM-1 and anti-Pifuc-TM-2 antibodies revealed that adductor phasic muscle contained Pifuc-TM-1, while adductor catch muscle contained both Pifuc-TM-1 and Pifuc-TM-2. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was carried out for Pifuc-TM-1 and Pifuc-TM-2 expressed in bacteria, as well as TM purified from P. fucata phasic and catch muscle tissues (phasic-TM and catch-TM). The DSC data indicated that phasic-TM was mainly composed of Pifuc-TM-1, whereas catch-TM contained Pifuc-TM-1 and Pifuc-TM-2. These findings suggest that the distribution of Pifuc-TM-1 and Pifuc-TM-2 in adductor muscle is specific to the muscle fiber type, and reflects the properties of each.","PeriodicalId":65391,"journal":{"name":"美国分子生物学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70513314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Troponin changes its structure upon Ca2+ binding to troponin C, one of the subunits of troponin, allowing myosin to interact with actin. We recently elucidated the molecular characteristics of the Japanese pearl oyster Pinctada fucata troponin C (Pifuc-TnC), revealing the possibilities that Pifuc-TnC and vertebrate muscle TnC play dissimilar roles in muscle contraction. Pifuc-TnC has four EF-hand motifs, but, unlike vertebrate TnC, only one (site IV) was predicted to bind Ca2+. To confirm the number of Ca2+-binding sites in Pifuc-TnC and whether Ca2+ binding induces a conformational change, we purified the full-length protein and a variant, Pifuc-TnC-E142Q (that has a mutation in the predicted Ca2+-binding site of site IV), following their expression in laboratory E. coli. Isothermal titration calorimetry demonstrated Ca2+ binding to Pifuc-TnC, whereas Pifuc-TnC-E142Q was unable to bind Ca2+, confirming that site IV is the only Ca2+-binding site in Pifuc-TnC. Pifuc-TnC eluted in a later fraction from a gel filtration column in the presence of Ca2+ compared with the condition when Ca2+ was absent. In contrast, the elution profiles of Pifuc-TnC-E142Q were equivalent in both the presence and absence of Ca2+, suggesting that Ca2+ binding to Pifuc-TnC induces a conformational change that delays its elution from the column. UV-absorption spectral analysis revealed that binding of Ca2+ to Pifuc-TnC caused an increase in absorption at a wavelength of approximately 250 nm, possibly because phenylalanine residues had been exposed on the surface of the molecule as a result of a conformational change. Differential scanning calorimetric analyses of Pifuc-TnC showed aggregation in the presence of Ca2+ in accordance with an increase of temperature, but no aggregation was seen in the absence of Ca2+. In combination, these findings suggest that Ca2+ binding to site IV induces a conformational change in Pifuc-TnC.","PeriodicalId":65391,"journal":{"name":"美国分子生物学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43070752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate phylogenic inference can provide a framework for addressing a host of important evolutionary questions including a context to reconstruct molecular evolution of an organism. Despite the obvious utility of plastid markers in illuminating biological enquiry, many important questions still abound. The use of cp-DNA gene sequence data for phylogenetic inference can have an enormous impact on plant phylogenetics and systematics. The repertoire of genetic diversity of Kenya’s Gene Bank repositories can be explored based on cp-genome signatures. This is because cp-DNA-based mutational changes are an important additional tool to the previous evidence available on plant evolution yet to be explored in biodiversity studies in Kenya. Taken together, these evolutionary changes can inspire development of realistic algorithms for phylogenetic inferencing based on molecular data. Phylogenetic reconstructions are at the very core of molecular evolution. Comparative sequence analyses of plastid markers can have utility beyond the study of phylogeny. The pattern of nucleotide substitution observed over evolutionary time can reflect functional constraints imposed due to natural selection. In line with this, it is possible to detect subtle anatomical variations associated with small fitness effects that can account for genetic diversity at varietal level. The lack of sequence information in Kenyan cowpea has limited the robust advancement of molecular markers use in dissecting diversity based on the putative plastid markers [1]. The present study sought to generate and upscale novel technologies such as genomics, DNA barcoding and bio-informatics in understanding molecular diversity of cowpea accessions from the Gene Bank of Kenya and ecotypes. A total of 298 sequences of cowpea germplasm conserved as in situ and ex situ in Kenya but sourced from phylogeographically diverse settings were examined and their genetic profiles were characterized and evaluated using molecular tools. The Gene Bank materials were purposefully sampled to develop subsets representative of the diversity in the genepool’s collection. We present an extensive study on characterizing the genetic diversity of cp-DNA gene sequence data for the cowpea accessions from the Nation Gene Bank of Kenya. The comparative sequence analyses and phylogenetic clustering of seven plastid markers widely used in the DNA barcoding of land plants provide insights on the molecular evolution of this vascular plant. The detailed and in-depth genome characterization herein greatly enriches the genetic profile of this important crop, which can help in reconstructing realistic models of mutational process during plant evolutionary history.

The insulin-cleaving membrane protease (ICMP) of P. aeruginosa plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of the bacterium and is therefore characterized as an important bacterial virulence factor. In addition, ICMP also serves as a founding member of the M75 peptidase family and represents a prototype of the imelysin/imelysin-like proteins. Despite of its functional importance in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa and of a root position as the prototypic imelysin/imelysin-like member, the structural features of the protein remain uninvestigated. Since preparation of homogeneous and crystallizable protein species is the prerequisite for structural studies by crystallography, we reported the successful expression, purification, and crystallization of P. aeruginosa ICMP in this study. The protein was over-expressed in Escherichia coli as a GST-fusion protein, cleaved to remove the fusion tag, and then purified to homogeneity. Diffractable crystals were obtained using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 2.5 A resolution and belonged to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 54.47, b = 158.98, c = 162.84 A, α = β = γ = 90°. Preliminary analysis of the diffraction data revealed high-quality crystallographic statistics with a Matthews coefficient of about 2.61 A3.Da-1 and a solvent content of about 52.58%, indicating the presence of three ICMP molecules in the asymmetric unit. The current work therefore paved the way for future studies aiming to delineate the characteristics of ICMP at the atomic level.","PeriodicalId":65391,"journal":{"name":"美国分子生物学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41849643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The function of troponin I (TnI) in vertebrates has been extensively characterized, but its role in molluscan muscles has not yet been elucidated. Our previous work suggested that the troponin C subunit has a role in adductor phasic muscle but not in catch muscle. Here, we investigated the molecular characteristics of TnI from the bivalve Japanese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata to aid the elucidation of the function of molluscan muscle troponin. We determined the primary structure of the full-length TnI protein from the P. fucata adductor muscle (Pifuc-TnI) and found that it is composed of 286 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 33,737. Motif structure predictions and multiple sequence alignments revealed that Pifuc-TnI has a 138 residue extension at its N-terminus compared with rabbit TnI. This is analogous to characterized TnIs from other mollusks. However, unlike scallop TnI, Pifuc-TnI is predicted to contain two cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites, at residues 39 - 45 (RRGTEDD) and 145 - 151 (KKKSKRK). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Pifuc-TnI and molluscan TnIs were grouped into the same clade. Pifuc-TnI gene structure predictions using Splign alignment of our obtained cDNA and genome sequences indicated that Pifuc-TnI consists of fifteen exons, with the start and stop codons located in exon 2 and exon 11, respectively. Using quantitative real-time PCR, we determined that the Pifuc-TnI gene is predominantly expressed in adductor phasic muscle, weakly in adductor catch muscle, and is not expressed in the gill, mantle or foot. These findings suggest that TnI, as a component of the troponin complex, plays a regulatory role in adductor phasic muscle contraction, but not in catch contraction.","PeriodicalId":65391,"journal":{"name":"美国分子生物学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43641955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expression of p27Kip1 protein has dual roles for both cancer prevention and promotion. For example, numerous nutritional and chemopreventive anti-cancer agents specifically increase the expression of p27Kip1 protein without directly affecting the expression of any other cell cycle regulatory proteins. On the other hand, pro-cancer agents (like glucose, insulin and other growth factors frequently seen in obesity and/or diabetes) specifically decrease the expression of p27Kip1 protein without directly affecting the expression of any other cell cycle regulatory proteins. Unlike expression of any other cell cycle regulatory proteins, expression of p27Kip1 protein is very unusual. The mRNA of p27Kip1 has a very long and unusual 5’-untranslated region (from -575 to -1 in human). It appears that the 5’-untranslated region of p27Kip1 mRNA forms two alternative secondary structures. One increases the expression of p27Kip1 protein when anti-cancer agents are added and another decrease the expression of p27K1p1 when pro-cancer agents are added. For this short concept proposal, Dr. Albert Einstein’s “visualized thought experiments (German: Gedanken experiment)” were used as a fundamental tool for understanding how either anti- or pro-cancer agents bring the primary structure of the 5’-untranslated region of p27Kip1 mRNA into two alternative secondary structures, thereby either increasing or decreasing, respectively, the translation initiation of p27Kip1 protein.","PeriodicalId":65391,"journal":{"name":"美国分子生物学期刊(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45901249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
