Insertions or deletions of nucleotides not divisible by three shift the reading frames, resulting in significantly different protein sequences. These events are disruptive but can also create variability important for evolution. Previous studies suggested that the genetic code and gene sequences evolve to minimize frameshift effects, maintaining similar physicochemical properties to their reference proteins. Here, we focused on tandem repeat sequences, known as frameshift hotspots. Using cutting-edge bioinformatics tools, we compared reference and frameshifted protein sequences within tandem repeats across 50 prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteomes. We showed that, in contrast to the general tendency, frameshifts within these regions, especially with short repeats, lead to a significant increase in hydrophobicity and arginine content. Additionally, the frameshifts, particularly in short tandem repeats, rearrange transmembrane regions, potentially converting soluble proteins into membrane proteins and vice versa. Given their occurrence in rapidly evolving, essential proteins, such changes may promote rapid adaptability. Our large-scale alphafold modeling suggested that frameshift events can generate novel structures and functions, enabling the synthesis of multiple protein variants within the same coding region. Overall, frameshifts cause more drastic changes in tandem repeat sequences compared to non-repetitive sequences and therefore can be a primary cause of altered functions, cellular localization, and the development of various pathologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94226,"journal":{"name":"The FEBS journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145133136","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}

Most formins contain a diaphanous autoregulatory domain (DAD) and a diaphanous inhibitory domain (DID), which interact to keep the molecule in an inactive state. The DAD consists of a short sequence with an N-terminal region rich in hydrophobic residues and a C-terminal segment abundant in basic residues, resembling WASP homology 2 (WH2) actin-binding domains. Based on its sequence and actin-binding ability, the DAD of INF2 qualifies as a WH2 motif. In this study, we investigated the structure of the INF2 WH2/DAD by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and explored its functional role. Our analysis revealed that the WH2/DAD forms a single α-helix in both H<sub>2</sub>O and 30% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol that differs from the conformations observed in WH2-actin and DAD-DID crystal structures. Cells expressing INF2 containing only the hydrophobic region of the WH2/DAD exhibited higher F-actin levels and frequencies of nuclear abnormalities, phenocopying the effect of pathogenic INF2 DID variants. In contrast, deletion of the entire WH2/DAD, or of the hydrophobic region alone, abolishes INF2 activity. Neither these deletions nor WH2/DAD variants carrying naturally occurring missense mutations induced any detectable nuclear effects. These findings suggest that the WH2/DAD undergoes a conformational change to facilitate actin binding and that the hydrophobic region is essential for INF2-mediated actin polymerization. INF2 WH2/DAD variants with deleterious cellular effects appear to be rare in, or absent from, the human population.</p>","PeriodicalId":94226,"journal":{"name":"The FEBS journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139900","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}

Additionally, we observed a priming effect on SC-CA2 plasticity with 50 μm SKF-38393, relieving plasticity resistance. We also demonstrated that this effect follows canonical protein kinase A (PKA) signalling. Collectively, our results show that D1R activation primes the CA2 for synaptic plasticity.

Vaspin binds the cell-surface low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) with nanomolar affinity, and is rapidly internalized into adipocytes and other cells. We found intracellular vaspin partially localized in the nucleus. Since vaspin binds heparin and inorganic polyphosphates, we investigated the DNA binding of vaspin. Using DNA-affinity chromatography and differential radial capillary action of ligand assays, we found high-affinity binding to random sequences of single- and double-stranded DNA for both vaspin and KLK7. Furthermore, KLK7 inhibition was accelerated fivefold in the presence of DNA molecules at least 40 bases in length. We previously identified the heparin-binding site at a basic patch on the central beta-sheet A of vaspin. In the current work, we determined the crystal structure of polyphosphate P45-bound vaspin, which confirmed previously identified residues mutated to generate a nonheparin-binding (NHB) vaspin variant. While NHB vaspin failed to bind heparin and polyP45, it still bound DNA with high affinity and accelerated protease inhibition. Mutation of closely spaced basic residues in helix A and helix G did not significantly alter DNA binding. In conclusion, we have identified vaspin as the second human DNA-binding serpin.

However, its specific functions within the nuclear context remained poorly understood. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to identify nuclear protein partners of SETD3.

Through domain deletions and proximity ligation assays, we established that this interaction is dependent on the RSB domain of SETD3 and potentially the BD2 domain of BRD2. The absence of SETD3 led to considerable alterations in the chromatin environment and a significant reduction in BRD2 recruitment, resulting in transcriptional changes.
