Opis:
Cytochrome c is an important electron transfer protein in the respiratory chain, shuttling electrons from cytochrome c reductase to cytochrome c oxidase. Extensive chemical modification studies indicate significant electrostatic interactions between these proteins and show that all structural and conformational changes of cytochrome c can influence the electron transport. In the present work we examine the effect of an anticancer ruthenium complex, trans-Indazolium (bisindazole) tetrachlororuthenate(III) (HInd[RuInd2Cl4]), on the conformation of cytochrome c, the state of the heme moiety, formation of the protein dimer and on the folding state of apocytochrome c. For this purpose, gel-filtration chromatography, absorption second derivative spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP(AES)) were used. The present data have revealed that binding of the potential anticancer drug HInd[RuInd2Cl4] complex to cytochrome c induces a conformation of the protein with less organized secondary and tertiary structure.

Opis:
Searching for ways to improve the characterization of breast cancer we examined the relationship between the status of the FHIT gene transcript and amplification of c-myc and the c-erbB2 oncogene. Abnormal FHIT transcript was detected in 32 of 79 cancers examined. The presence of Fhit protein estimated by Western blots was evident only in cancers exhibiting a normal-sized FHIT transcript. This indicates that abnormal FHIT transcripts observed in our study did not encode any Fhit protein or the amount of such protein was very low. There was no association between the presence of aberrant FHIT gene transcript with age, tumor size, estrogen and progesterone receptor status, local metastases and histological grading. However, the abnormalities in FHIT gene transcripts were observed with different frequency depending on the histopathological type of the tumor. The aberrant FHIT transcript was detected in 60% of lobular cancers and only in 28% of ductal cancers. Analyzing the occurrence of c-myc and c-erbB2 amplification and the presence of aberrant FHIT gene transcripts we found that the aberrant FHIT transcript more frequently occurred in tissues with c-myc amplification. There was a significant (P <0.05) correlation between the occurrence of the aberrant FHIT gene transcript with accompanying c-myc amplification and positive lymph node status. However, in order to evaluate the predictive value of these findings in breast cancer, an extended clinical follow up will be necessary.

Opis:
c-type cytochromes are characterized by the presence of two covalent bonds linking heme to apocytochrome and by the heme attachment motif in the apoprotein. Several molecular systems for the maturation of c-type cytochromes have evolved in different organisms. The best characterized are three of them: system I, system II and system III. Heme is synthesized in bacterial cytoplasm, in plastids, and in animal and fungal mitochondria. Therefore the maturation of bacterial and plastid c-type cytochromes involves the transport of heme and apocytochrome from the n-side to the p-side of the respective biological membranes and the formation of the covalent bond at the p-side. It should be underlined that the site of the c-type apocytochrome synthesis is also distinct from the site of its functioning. The aim of this review is to present the current state of knowledge concerning the structure and function of two systems - system I and system II - in the maturation of plant mitochondrial and plastid c-type cytochromes, respectively.

C-mannosylation
Opis:
Among the posttranslational modifications of proteins, glycosylation is probably the most abundant one. Two main types of protein glycosylation have been known for several years, namely N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation. Their biochemical properties, structure and biosynthesis, have been described extensively. Their biological functions are also known for a number of proteins, although in many cases the function remains speculative despite continuous efforts. A few years ago, a new type of protein glycosylation was found, which is different from the above-mentioned ones. It was called C-glycosylation, since the sugar is linked to the protein through a carbon-carbon bond. This article reviews the biochemistry of C-glycosylation, the biosynthetic pathway and structural requirements. Possible biological functions of this modification are also discussed.

Opis:
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure worldwide. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is treated with interferon-a (IFN-α), pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFNα) alone or in combination with ribavirin; however, a significant fraction of patients either fail to respond or relapse after cessation of therapy. Efforts to identify and develop highly specific and potent HCV inhibitors have intensified recently. Each of the virally encoded replication enzymes has been a focus of studies as well as viral receptors and the host immune system. This review summarizes recent progress in the search for novel anti-HCV agents.

antifolate/folate-injured kidney
Opis:
Cross-talk between two signal transduction pathways leads to a negative regulation of androgen-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) gene expression in the mouse kidney. One pathway is triggered by testosterone via the intracellular androgen receptor, AR, and the other is induced by antifolate CB 3717 or folate via hepatocyte growth factor and its cell membrane receptor c-Met. Here we report the studies of the expression of AR and c-Myc transcription factors involved in ODC transactivation. Administration of CB 3717 or folate decreased the expression of AR. In contrast, testosterone did not modify AR mRNA content but augmented the AR protein. Furthermore, we demonstrate that administration of folate, but not testosterone, increases c-Myc transcript and protein level. We also document that activation of both examined pathways does not decrease the testosterone-induced AR protein level, but markedly increases c-Myc protein which is nearly 2-fold up-regulated compared to its level evoked solely by testosterone. We suspect that this pronounced increase of c-Myc protein might have functional consequences mirrored by down-regulated expression of AR target genes, among them ODC.

BimSs3
Opis:
Bim is defined as the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein of the Bcl-2 family, which is a critical sensor and mediator in the mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. In a previous work, we have cloned a novel transcript of Bim (GenBank accession number: AY305716) from the fetal brain cDNA, which is widely expressed in some carcinoma tissues and normal human tissues. According to the sequence analysis and the newly-defined nomenclature system of Bim isoforms (Adachi et al., 2005, Cell Death Differ 2: 192), we term it BimSs3 according to its characteristic structure. The subcellular location analysis indicated that the fused protein GFP-BimSs3 is distributed in the whole cell, mainly to the nucleus. Overexpression of BimSs3 in HEK293 cells causes apoptosis (28.16 ± 1.55%) compared to the negative control (5.44 ± 2.63%). It also causes cytochrome c release from the mitochondrial fraction to the cytosolic fraction during apoptosis. Western blotting assay indicates the molecular mass of GFP-BimSs3 is approximately 31.0 kDa (GFP: 27 kDa). Hence the open reading frame of BimSs3 may initiate at the second ATG and encodes a 36 amino-acid peptide with BH3 domain.

Opis:
Procollagen C-endopeptidase (BMP-1) and N-endopeptidase (ADAMTS-2) are key enzymes for correct and efficient conversion of fibrillar procollagens to their self assembling monomers. Thus, they have an essential role in building and controlling the quality of extracellular matrices (ECMs). Here, we tested inhibition of activity of the largest variant of BMP-1, a recombinant mammalian tolloid (mTld), in vitro by three synthetic peptides with conservative amino-acid sequences found in chordin using procollagen type I as a substrate. We also verified the specific action of best inhibitory 16 amino-acid peptide in the procollagen type I cleavage assay with the use of ADAMTS-2 (procollagen N-endopeptidase). Subsequently, we determined the critical residues and minimal sequence of six amino acids in the original 16 amino-acid peptide required to maintain the inhibitory potential. Studies on the interactions of 6 and 16 amino acid long peptides with the enzyme revealed their binding to non-catalytic, regulatory domains of mTld; the inhibitory activity was not due to the competition of peptides with the substrate for the enzyme active center, because mTld did not cleave the peptides. However, in the presence of mTld both peptides underwent cyclization by disulfide bond formation. Concluding, we have shown that procollagen C-endopeptidase may be specifically blocked via its non-catalytic domains by synthetic peptide consisting of 6 amino acids in the sequence found in highly conservative region of chordin. Thus, we hypothesize that the 6 amino-acid peptide could be a good candidate for anti-fibrotic drug development.

Opis:
A body of evidence, linking inositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) to the nucleus, is quite extensive. The main isoform in the nucleus is PI-PLCβ1, whose activity is up-regulated in response to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) or insulin stimulation. Whilst at the plasma membrane this PI-PLC is activated and regulated by Gαq/α11 and Gβg subunits, there is yet no evidence that qα/α11 is present within the nuclear compartment, neither GTP-γ-S nor AlF4 can stimulate PI-PLCβ1 activity in isolated nuclei. Here we review the evidence that upon occupancy of type 1 IGF receptor there is translocation to the nucleus of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) which phosphorylates nuclear PI-PLCβ1 and triggers its signalling, hinting at a separate pathway of regulation depending on the subcellular location of PI-PLCβ1. The difference in the regulation of the activity of PI-PLCβ1mirrors the evidence that nuclear and cytoplasmatic inositides can differ markedly in their signalling capability. Indeed, we do know that agonists which affect nuclear inositol lipid cycle at the nucleus do not stimulate the one at the plasma membrane.

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the levels of cystatin C, which protects neurodegeneration in the central nervous system with the inhibition of cysteine protease and by inducing autophagy in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm and levels of vasoconstrictive neuropeptid Y (NPY) in the brain tissue homogenates of rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Three experimental groups were used: Day 2 and Day 7 groups after SAH, and also a control group. There were seven Wistar albino rats in each group. SAH was accomplished by transclival basilar artery puncture. Rat cystatin C, rat NPY were determined with ELISA in brain tissue homogenates. Day 2 group showed significantly enhanced cystatin C values in comparision with the control group (P=0.048). NPY levels between the Day 2 and Day 7 groups and the control groups were not significantly different (P=0.315). In histopathological examination, there was less neuronal loss in the Day 2 group than in the Day 7 group. Regarding our results, it would be more valuable to measure NPY levels in specific brain areas. The increased cystatin C levels on the second day after SAH is probably a pathophysiologic mechanism to organize protease activity.

Opis:
Phage ΦC31 integrase is a potential vector for the insertion of therapeutic genes into specific sites in the human genome. To understand the mechanism involved in ΦC31 integrase-mediated recombination, it is important to understand the interaction between the integrase and cellular proteins. Using a yeast two-hybrid system with pLexA-ΦC31 integrase as bait, we screened a pB42AD human fetal brain cDNA library for potential interacting cellular proteins. From the 106 independent clones that were screened, 11 potential interacting clones were isolated, of which one encoded C-terminal fragment of Sp100. The interaction between Sp100 and ΦC31 integrase was further confirmed by yeast mating and co-immunoprecipitation assays. The hybridization between a ΦC31 integrase peptide array and an HEK293 cell extract revealed that residues 81RILN84 in the N-terminus of ΦC31 integrase are responsible for the interaction with Sp100. Knocking down endogenous Sp100 with Sp100-specific siRNA increased ΦC31 integrase-mediated recombination but did not impact reporter gene expression. Therefore, endogenous Sp100 may interact with ΦC31 integrase and inhibit the efficiency of ΦC31 integrase-mediated recombination.

Opis:
In the present study, we investigated how cytochrome c catalyzed the nitration of tyrosine at various pHs. The cytochrome c-catalyzed nitration of tyrosine occurred in proportion to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, nitrite or cytochrome c. Thecytochromec-catalyzed nitration of tyrosine was inhibited by catalase, sodium azide, cystein, and uric acid. These results show that the cytochrome c-catalyzednitrotyrosine formation was due to peroxidase activity. The rate constant between cytochrome c and hydrogen peroxide within the pH range of 3 - 8 was the largest at pH 6 (37°C). The amount of nitrotyrosine formed was the greatest at pH 5. At pH 3, onlycytochromec-independent nitration of tyrosine occurred in the presence of nitrite. At this pH, the UV as well as visible spectrum of cytochrome c was changed by nitrite, even in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, probably via the formation of a heme iron - nitric oxide complex. Due to this change, the peroxidase activity of cytochrome c was lost.

Opis:
Kinetics of the reaction of peroxynitrite with ferric cytochrome c in the absence and presence of bicarbonate was studied. It was found that the heme iron in ferric cytochrome c does not react directly with peroxynitrite. The rates of the absorbance changes in the Soret region of cytochrome c spectrum caused by peroxynitrite or peroxynitrite/bicarbonate were the same as the rate of spontaneous isomerization of peroxynitrite or as the rate of the reaction of peroxynitrite with bicarbonate, respectively. This means that intermediate products of peroxynitrite decomposition, ·OH/·NO2 or, in the presence of bicarbonate, CO3-·/·NO2, are the species responsible for the absorbance changes in the Soret band of cytochrome c. Modifications of the heme center of cytochrome c by radiolytically produced radicals, ·OH, ·NO2 or CO3-·, were also studied. The absorbance changes in the Soret band caused by radiolytically produced ·OH or CO3-· were much more significant that those observed after peroxynitrite treatment, compared under similar concentrations of radicals. ·NO2 produced radiolytically did not interact with the heme center of cytochrome c. Cytochrome c exhibited an increased peroxidase-like activity after reaction with peroxynitrite as well as with radiolytically produced ·OH, ·NO2 or CO3-· radicals. This means that modification of protein structure: oxidation of amino acids and/or tyrosine nitration, facilitates reaction of H2O2 with the heme iron of cytochrome c, followed by reaction with the second substrate.

In this review we summarize the present status of our knowledge on the enzymes involved in the extracellular metabolism of nucleotides and the receptors involved in nucleotide signalling. We focus on the mechanism of the ATP and ADP signalling pathways in glioma C6, representative of the type of nonexcitable cells. In these cells, ATP acts on the P2Y2 receptor coupled to phospholipase C, whereas ADP on two distinct P2Y receptors: P2Y1 and P2Y12. The former is linked to phospholipase C and the latter is negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. The possible cross-talk between the ATP-, ADP- and adenosine-induced pathways, leading to simultaneous regulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and cAMP mediated signalling, is discussed.

Opis:
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects humans, with a prevalence around 3% of population, causing acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We studied the effect of inhibition of glycosylation on the assembly of the HCV particle. HCV possesses two envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 that are highly modified by N-glycans. These glycan residues are crucial for viral entry and maturation of the progeny. Here, we examined the influence of inhibition of N-glycosylation on expression of E1 and E2. Since the propagation of HCV in cell culture is limited, we used a recombinant baculovirus producing viral-like particles in insect cells. Our data showed that blocking of N-glycan transfer to the nascent polypeptide chain with the antibiotic tunicamycin resulted in the loss of E1 and E2. We also found that a dose of tunicamycin that did not influence the cell viability significantly reduced the E2 level in infected cells. The results indicate that blocking of glycosylation at an early step efficiently reduces the assembly of HCV virions. Thus, we suggest that derivatives of tunicamycin that preferentially block glycosylation of viral proteins may become potential therapeutic agents against HCV.
