Abstract:
Abstract Binding of proteins to particular DNA sites across the genome is a primary determinant of specificity in genome maintenance and gene regulation. DNA-binding specificity is encoded at multiple levels, from the detailed biophysical interactions between proteins and DNA, to the assembly of multi-protein complexes. At each level, variation in the mechanisms used to achieve specificity has led to difficulties in constructing and applying simple models of DNA binding. We review the complexities in protein–DNA binding found at multiple levels and discuss how they confound the idea of simple

Abstract The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and automated annotation of genes and proteins. This multi-level problem can lead to errors in genome and protein databases that are often not recognized or acknowledged. As a consequence, end users working with sequences with repetitive regions are faced with ‘ready-to-use’ deposited data whose trustworthiness is difficult to determine, let alone to quantify.

Furthermore, selectivity and sensitivity may be achieved by the requirement for concerted folding and binding of previously unfolded components.

Neurons often grow highly branched dendrite morphologies, which is crucial for neural circuit assembly. It is still poorly understood how cortical actin assembly is controlled in dendrites and whether it is critical for dendrite development, maintenance and function. In the present study, we find that knock-out of C. elegans chdp-1, which encodes a cell cortex-localized protein, causes dendrite formation defects in the larval stage

Abstract:
The precursor protein translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (Tom) is a multi-subunit complex containing receptors and a general import channel, of which the core component is Tom40p. Nuclear-encoded mitochondrial precursor proteins are first recognized by surface receptors and then pass through the import channel. The Tom complex has been purified; however, the protein–protein interactions that drive its assembly and maintain its stability have been difficult to study. Here we show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tom40p expressed in bacteria and purified to homogeneity associates effic

Structural biology continues to benefit from an expanding toolkit, which is helping to gain unprecedented insight into the assembly and organization of multi-protein machineries, enzyme mechanisms and ligand/inhibitor binding. During the last ten years, cryoEM has become widely available and has provided a major boost to structure determination of membrane proteins and large multi-protein complexes. Many of the structures have now been made available at resolutions around 2 Å, where fundamental questions regarding enzyme mechanisms can be addressed. Over the years, the abbreviation cryoEM has

Abstract:
Ribosomes are complex ribonucleoprotein particles. Purified 50S ribosomes subjected to high-salt wash, removing a subset of ribosomal proteins (r-proteins), were shown as competent for in vitro assembly into functional 50S subunits. Here, we used cryo-EM to determine the structures of such LiCl core particles derived from E. coli 50S subunits. A wide range of complexes with large variations in the extent of the ordered 23S rRNA and the occupancy of r-proteins were resolved to between 2.8 Å and 9 Å resolution. Many of these particles showed high similarity to in vivo and in vitro assembly inter

The High Chlorophyll Fluorescence 136 protein (HCF136) is essential for the assembly and repair of Photosystem II (PSII) and its central reaction centre (RC)[1]. HCF136 is an abundant protein in the thylakoid lumen and has been suggested to directly interact with subunits of the RC. The multi-subunit pigment-protein PSII complex is imbedded in the thylakoid membrane of the oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, and responsible for water splitting during oxygenic photosynthesis. PSII harbours more than 20 different integral and peripheral membrane proteins and its assembly requires a high level of

Porcine Circovirus 2 (PCV2) vaccines are based on either inactivated whole virion, or recombinant ORF2 capsid protein assembled into Virus-like Particles (VLPs). No data are available about the immunizing properties of free, non-assembled capsid protein. To investigate this issue, ORF2 of a reference PCV2b strain was expressed in a Baculovirus-based expression system without assembly into VLPs. The free purified protein was formulated into an oil vaccine at three distinct Ag payloads: 10.8/3.6/1.2 micrograms/dose.

Abstract:
The general transcription factor TFIID is a core promoter selectivity factor that recognizes DNA sequence elements and nucleates the assembly of a pre-initiation complex (PIC). The mechanism by which TFIID recognizes the promoter is poorly understood. The TATA-box binding protein (TBP) is a subunit of the multi-protein TFIID complex believed to be key in this process. We reconstituted transcription from highly purified components on a ribosomal protein gene (RPS5) and discovered that TFIIDΔTBP binds and rearranges the promoter DNA topology independent of TBP.

Desmin is the major intermediate filament protein of all three muscle cell types, and connects different cell organelles and multi-protein complexes such as the cardiac desmosomes. Several pathogenic mutations in the DES gene cause different skeletal and cardiac myopathies. However, the significance of the majority of DES missense variants is currently unknown, since functional data are lacking. To determine whether desmin missense mutations within the highly conserved 1A coil domain cause a filament assembly defect, we generated a set of variants with unknown significance and systematically a

The phenotype of this mutant is normal except for the complete absence of flagella. IFT88 is homologous to mouse and human genes called Tg737.

Abstract Activation of caspase-1, which is necessary for the maturation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, occurs upon assembly of multi-protein complexes known as inflammasomes. Apoptosis associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) is an adaptor protein, which is essential for the recruitment of caspase-1 into inflammasomes. However, distribution of endogenous ASC has not been thoroughly examined. In the current study, we used laser scanning confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation to demonstrate that endogenous ASC locali
