DNA helicases are motor proteins that play essential roles in DNA replication, repair and recombination. In the replicative hexameric helicase, the fundamental reaction is the unwinding of duplex DNA;however, our understanding of this function remains vague due to insufficient structural information. Here, we report two crystal structures of the DnaB-family replicative helicase from Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426 (Gk DnaC) in the apo-form and bound to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The Gk DnaC-ssDNA complex structure reveals that three symmetrical basic grooves on the interior surface of the hexamer individually encircle ssDNA. The ssDNA-binding pockets in this structure are directed toward the N-terminal domain collar of the hexameric ring, thus orienting the ssDNA toward the DnaG primase to facilitate the synthesis of short RNA primers. These findings provide insight into the mechanism of ssDNA binding and provide a working model to establish a novel mechanism for DNA translocation at the replication fork. © 2008 The Author(s).

Impact of DNA-binding position variants on yeast gene expression

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific binding sites (TFBSs) in gene promoters. TFBS motifs may contain one or more variable positions. Although the prevailing assumption is that nucleotide variants at such positions are functionally equivalent, there is increasing evidence that such variants play a role in regulation of gene expression. In this article, we propose a method for studying the relationship between the expression of target genes and nucleotide variants in TFBS motifs at a genome-wide scale in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, especially the combinatorial effects of variants at two positions. Our analysis shows that nucleotide variations in more than one-third of variable positions and in 20% of dependent position pairs are highly correlated to gene expression. We define such positions as 'functional'. However, some positions are only functional as dependent pairs, but not individually. In addition, a significant proportion of the functional positions have been well conserved across all yeast-related species studied. We also find that some positions require the presence of co-occurring TFs, while others maintain their functionality in the absence of a co-occurring TF. Our analysis supports the importance of nucleotide variants at variable positions of TFBSs in gene regulation. © The Author(s) 2009. Published by Oxford University Press.

Structural insights into TDP-43 in nucleic-acid binding and domain interactions

TDP-43 is a pathogenic protein: its normal function in binding to UG-rich RNA is related to cystic fibrosis, and inclusion of its C-terminal fragments in brain cells is directly linked to frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here we report the 1.65 Å crystal structure of the C-terminal RRM2 domain of TDP-43 in complex with a single-stranded DNA. We show that TDP-43 is a dimeric protein with two RRM domains, both involved in DNA and RNA binding. The crystal structure reveals the basis of TDP-43's TG/ UG preference in nucleic acids binding. It also reveals that RRM2 domain has an atypical RRM-fold with an additional β-strand involved in making protein-protein interactions. This self association of RRM2 domains produced thermal-stable RRM2 assemblies with a melting point greater than 85°C as monitored by circular dichroism at physiological conditions. These studies thus characterize the recognition between TDP-43 and nucleic acids and the mode of RRM2 self association, and provide molecular models for understanding the role of TDP-43 in cystic fibrosis and the neurodegenerative diseases related to TDP-43 proteinopathy. © 2009 The Author(s).

Enhanced expression of β3-galactosyltransferase 5 activity is sufficient to induce in vivo synthesis of extended type 1 chains on lactosylceramides of selected human colonic carcinoma cell lines

引用

Glycobiology 2009年第4期19卷 418-427页

作者： Lin, Chi-Hung Fan, Yao-Yun Chen, Yen-Ying Wang, Shih-Hsin Chen, Chun-I Yu, Lung-Chih Khoo, Kay-Hooi Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics Program Taiwan International Graduate Program Academia Sinica Taipei 115 Taiwan Institute of Bioinformatics and Structural Biology National Tsing-Hua University Hsinchu 300 Taiwan Institute of Biological Chemistry Academia Sinica Nankang Taipei 115 Taiwan Taiwan and Institute of Biochemical Science National Taiwan University Taipei 106 Taiwan

In general, an elevated expression of β3-galactosyltrans-ferase (β3GalT) activity contributed by β3GalT5 correlates well with increased biosynthesis and expression of type 1 chain (Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ1-) derivatives such as Lewis A and sialyl Lewis A, which are mostly recognized as terminal epitopes and not further extended. Most known β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases show a higher activity toward extending type 2 chain (Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-), and an over-expression of β3GalT5 could suppress the formation of the type 2 chain poly-N- acetyllactosaminoglycans. The potential of extending instead the predominant type 1 chain termini synthesized under such circumstances was, however, not investigated, partly due to technical difficulty in unambiguous identification of extended type 1 chains. Using an advanced mass spectrometry-based glycomic mapping and glycan sequencing approach, we show here that type 1 chains carried on the lacto-series glycosphingolipids of colonic carcinoma cells can be extended when the endogenous β3GalT activity relative to competing β4GalT activity, as defined against a common GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc acceptor, is sufficiently high, as found in Colo205 and SW1116, but not in DLD-1 cells. In support of this positive correlation, the lacto-series glycosphingolipids isolated from stably transfected DLD-1 clones over-expressing β3GalT5 were shown to comprise fucosylated dimeric type 1 chains, whereas a mock transfectant and the DLD-1 parent carried only fucosylated dimeric type 2 chains on their lactosylceramides. It suggests that while the natural expression of extended type 1 chain is likely to be determined by many contributing factors including the relative amounts of competing glycosyltransferases and the UDP-Gal level, the enhanced expression of β3GalT5 is sufficient to promote in vivo extension of type 1 chains by furnishing a significantly higher amount of type 1 chain precursors relative to competing type 2 chains. © The Author 2009.

Redesign of high-affinity nonspecific nucleases with altered sequence preference

Journal of the American Chemical Society 2009年第47期131卷 17345-17353页

It is of crucial importance to elucidate the underlying principles that govern the binding affinity and selectivity between proteins and DNA. Here we use the nuclease domain of Colicin E7 (nColE7) as a model system to generate redesigned nucleases with improved DNA-binding affinities. ColE7 is a bacterial toxin, bearing a nonspecific endonuclease domain with a preference for hydrolyzing DNA phosphodiester bonds at the 3O-side after thymine and adenine;i.e., it prefers Thy and Ade at the -1 site. Using systematic computational screening, six nColE7 mutants were predicted to bind DNA with high affinity. Five of the redesigned single-point mutants were constructed and purified, and four mutants had a 3- to 5-fold higher DNA binding affinity than wild-type nColE7 as measured by fluorescence kinetic assays. Moreover, three of the designed mutants, D493N, D493Q, and D493R, digested DNA with an increased preference for guanine at +3 sites compared to the wild-type enzyme, as shown by DNA footprint assays. X-ray structure determination of the ColE7 mutant D493Q-DNA complex in conjunction with structural and free energy decomposition analyses provides a physical basis for the improved protein-DNA interactions: Replacing D493 at the protein-DNA interface with an amino acid residue that can maintain the native hydrogen bonds removes the unfavorable electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged carboxylate and DNA phosphate groups. These results show that computational screening combined with biochemical, structural, and free energy analyses provide a useful means for generating redesigned nucleases with a higher DNA-binding affinity and altered sequence preferences in DNA cleavage. © 2009 American Chemical Society.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that have important regulatory roles in multicellular organisms. However, miRNA has never been identified experimentally in protist. Direct cloning of 438 expressed miRNA tags by microRNA serial analysis of gene expression from the parasitic protist Trichomonas vaginalis identified nine candidate miRNAs. bioinformatics analysis of the corresponding genomic region revealed that these miRNA candidates contain a classical stem-loop-stem structure of pre-microRNAs. Analysis of the 20 nt long mature tva-miR-001 showed that it is an intergenic miRNA located at the scaffold DS113596. Tva-miR-001 was differentially expressed in the trophozoite, pseudocyst and amoeboid stages. Based on the experimental results of the present study, we provided solid evidence that protist possesses a miRNA regulating network comparable with multicellular organisms for the first time. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop

Much of modern machine learning and statistics research consists of extracting information from high-dimensional patterns. Often times, the large number of features that comprise this high-dimensional pattern are themselves vector valued, corresponding to sampled values in a time-series. Here, we present a classification methodology to accommodate multiple time-series using boosting. This method constructs an additive model by adaptively selecting basis functions consisting of a discriminating feature's full time-series. We present the necessary modifications to fisher linear discriminant analysis and least-squares, as base learners, to accommodate the weighted data in the proposed boosting procedure. We conclude by presenting the performance of our proposed method against a synthetic stochastic differential equation data set and a real world data set involving prediction of cancer patient susceptibility for a particular chemoradiotherapy.
