The mechanism responsible for the dose increase was supposed to be related to proton-boron fusion reactions ( B + p → 3α + 8.7 MeV). There has been some experimental evidence that the biological efficiency of protons is significantly higher for boron-11-containing prostate or breast cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitizing potential of sodium borocaptate (BSH) under proton irradiation at the Bragg peak of cultured glioma cells. To address this problem, cells of two glioma lines were preincubated with 80 or 160 ppm boron-11, irradiated both at the middle of 200 MeV beam Spread-Out Bragg Peak (SOBP) and at the distal end of the 89.7 MeV beam SOBP and assessed for the viability, as well as their ability to form colonies. Our results clearly show that BSH provides for only a slight, if any, enhancement of the effect of proton radiation on the glioma cells in vitro. In addition, we repeated the experiments using the Du145 prostate cancer cell line, for which an increase in the biological efficiency of proton irradiation in the presence of sodium borocaptate was demonstrated previously. The data presented add new argument against the efficiency of proton boron capture therapy when based solely on direct dose-enhancement effect by the proton capture nuclear reaction, underlining the need to investigate the indirect effects of the secondary alpha irradiation depending on the state and treatment conditions of the irradiated tissue.},\n  chemicals       = {Protons, Boron, Sodium},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2023-01-26},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1038/s41598-023-28428-z},\n  issn-linking    = {2045-2322},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Male; Humans; Protons; Boron, pharmacology; Proton Therapy; Glioma, radiotherapy, metabolism; Sodium},\n  nlm-id          = {101563288},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {1341},\n  pmc             = {PMC9873635},\n  pmid            = {36693879},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2023-03-16},\n}\n\n

It is known to bind to the 70S ribosome at the intersubunit bridge B2a and was thought to inhibit factor-dependent initiation of translation and obstruct the accommodation of tRNAs into the A site. Here, we show that thermorubin causes ribosomes to stall in vivo and in vitro at internal and termination codons, thereby allowing the ribosome to initiate protein synthesis and translate at least a few codons before stalling. Our biochemical data show that THR affects multiple steps of translation elongation with a significant impact on the binding stability of the tRNA in the A site, explaining premature cessation of translation. Our high-resolution crystal and cryo-EM structures of the 70S-THR complex show that THR can co-exist with P- and A-site tRNAs, explaining how ribosomes can elongate in the presence of the drug. Remarkable is the ability of THR to arrest ribosomes at the stop codons. Our data suggest that by causing structural re-arrangements in the decoding center, THR interferes with the accommodation of tRNAs or release factors into the ribosomal A site.},\n  chemicals       = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, Codon, Terminator, thermorubin, Anthraquinones},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2023-01-20},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1093/nar/gkac1189},\n  issn-linking    = {0305-1048},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, pharmacology; Codon, Terminator, metabolism; Gram-Negative Bacteria, drug effects; Gram-Positive Bacteria, drug effects; Ribosomes, metabolism; Protein Biosynthesis, drug effects; Anthraquinones, pharmacology},\n  nlm-id          = {0411011},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {6956352},\n  pmc             = {PMC9841432},\n  pmid            = {36546783},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2023-01-27},\n}\n\n

Adipose tissue EVs could regulate metabolic and inflammatory interactions inside adipose tissue depots as well as distal tissues. Thus, adipose tissue EVs are assumed to be implicated in obesity-associated pathologies, notably in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study we for the first time characterize EVs secreted by visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of patients with obesity and T2DM with standard methods as well as analyze their morphology with cryo-electron microscopy. Cryo-electron microscopy allowed us to visualize heterogeneous population of EVs of various size and morphology including single EVs and EVs with internal membrane structures in samples from obese patients as well from the control group. Single vesicles prevailed (up to 85% for SAT, up to 75% for VAT) and higher proportion of EVs with internal membrane structures compared to SAT was typical for VAT. Decreased size of single and double SAT EVs compared to VAT EVs, large proportion of multilayered EVs and all EVs with internal membrane structures secreted by VAT distinguished obese patients with/without T2DM from the control group. These findings could support the idea of modified biogenesis of EVs during obesity and T2DM.},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2023-02-28},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1371/journal.pone.0279652},\n  issn-linking    = {1932-6203},\n  issue           = {2},\n  keywords        = {Humans; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, pathology; Cryoelectron Microscopy; Intra-Abdominal Fat, metabolism; Adipose Tissue, metabolism; Obesity, metabolism; Subcutaneous Fat, metabolism; Extracellular Vesicles, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {101285081},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {e0279652},\n  pmc             = {PMC10045588},\n  pmid            = {36827314},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic-eCollection},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2023-03-30},\n}\n\n

The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of PEVs derived from grapefruit and tomato juices as functional ingredients, antioxidant compounds, and delivery vehicles. PEVs were isolated using differential ultracentrifugation and were found to be similar in size and morphology to mammalian exosomes. The yield of grapefruit exosome-like vesicles (GEVs) was higher than that of tomato exosome-like vesicles (TEVs), despite the latter having larger vesicle sizes. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of GEVs and TEVs was found to be low in comparison to their juice sources, indicating a limited contribution of PEVs to the juice. GEVs showed a higher efficiency in being loaded with the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) than TEVs, as well as a higher efficiency than TEV and PEV-free HSP70 in delivering HSP70 to glioma cells. Overall, our results revealed that GEVs present a higher potential as functional ingredients present in juice and that they exert the potential to deliver functional molecules to human cells. Although PEVs showed low antioxidant activity, their role in oxidative response in cells should be further addressed.},\n  country      = {Switzerland},\n  doi          = {10.3390/antiox12040943},\n  issn-linking = {2076-3921},\n  issue        = {4},\n  keywords     = {antioxidant activity; drug delivery; fruit juices; grapefruit exosomes; plant exosomes; tomato exosomes},\n  nlm-id       = {101668981},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pii          = {943},\n  pmc          = {PMC10135875},\n  pmid         = {37107317},\n  pubmodel     = {Electronic},\n  pubstate     = {epublish},\n  revised      = {2023-04-30},\n}\n\n

The use of a protein unlike PolN/PCNA sliding clamps is a unique feature of orthopoxviral replication, providing an attractive target for drug design. However, the intrinsic processivity of vvUNG has never been estimated, leaving open the question whether it is sufficient to impart processivity to the viral polymerase. Here, we use the correlated cleavage assay to characterize the translocation of vvUNG along DNA between two uracil residues. The salt dependence of the correlated cleavage, together with the similar affinity of vvUNG for damaged and undamaged DNA, support the one-dimensional diffusion mechanism of lesion search. Unlike short gaps, covalent adducts partly block vvUNG translocation. Kinetic experiments show that once a lesion is found it is excised with a probability ~0.76. Varying the distance between two uracils, we use a random walk model to estimate the mean number of steps per association with DNA at ~4200, which is consistent with vvUNG playing a role as a processivity factor. Finally, we show that inhibitors carrying a tetrahydro-2,4,6-trioxopyrimidinylidene moiety can suppress the processivity of vvUNG.},\n  doi       = {10.3390/ijms24119113},\n  keywords  = {DNA repair, uracil–DNA glycosylase, protein translocation, viral replication, processivity, correlated cleavage},\n  publisher = {MDPI AG},\n  url       = {https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/11/9113},\n}\n\n

Hydrolysis of a multiple sclerosis (MS) autoantigen, myelin basic protein (MBP), by engineered human proteasomes with different catalytic phenotypes, revealed that peptides which may be directly loaded on the HLA class I molecules are produced mainly by immunoproteasomes. We detected at least five MBP immunodominant core regions, namely, LPRHRDTGIL, SLPQKSHGR, QDENPVVHFF, KGRGLSLSRF and GYGGRASDY. All peptides, except QDENPVVHFF, which originates from the encephalitogenic MBP part, were associated with HLA I alleles considered to increase MS risk. Prediction of the affinity of HLA class I to this peptide demonstrated that MS-protective HLA-A*44 and -B*35 molecules are high-affinity binders, whereas MS-associated HLA-A*23, -A*24, -A*26 and -B*51 molecules tend to have moderate to low affinity. The HLA-A*44 molecules may bind QDENPVVHFF and its deamidated form in several registers with unprecedently high affinity, probably linking its distinct protective phenotype with thymic depletion of the repertoire of autoreactive cytotoxic T cells or induction of CD8+ regulatory T cells, specific to the encephalitogenic MBP peptide.},\n  doi       = {10.3390/ijms24032091},\n  keywords  = {proteasome, HTBH, immunoproteasome, biotin carboxyl carrier domain, myelin basic protein, HLA class I},\n  publisher = {MDPI AG},\n  url       = {https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/3/2091},\n}\n\n

Chloramphenicol amine (CAM), derived from the ribosome-targeting antibiotic CHL, and the plant isoquinoline alkaloid berberine (BER) are connected by alkyl linkers of different lengths in structures of these conjugates. Using competition binding, double reporter system, and toeprinting assays, we showed that synthesized CAM-Cn-BER compounds bound to the bacterial ribosome and inhibited protein synthesis like the parent CHL. The mechanism of action of CAM-C5-BER and CAM-C8-BER on the process of bacterial translations was similar to CHL. Experiments with bacteria demonstrated that CAM-Cn-BERs suppressed the growth of laboratory strains of CHL and macrolides-resistant bacteria. CAM-C8-BER acted against mycobacteria and more selectively inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria than the parent CHL and the berberine derivative lacking the CAM moiety (CH -C8-BER). Using a potential-sensitive fluorescent probe, we found that CAM-C8-BER significantly reduced the membrane potential in   cells. Crystal violet assays were used to demonstrate the absence of induction of biofilm formation under the action of CAM-C8-BER on   bacteria. Thus, we showed that CAM-C8-BER could act both on the ribosome and on the cell membrane of bacteria, with the alkylated berberine fragment of the compound making a significant contribution to the inhibitory effect on bacterial growth. Moreover, we showed that CAM-Cn-BERs did not inhibit eukaryotic translation in vitro and were non-toxic for eukaryotic cells.},\n  country      = {Switzerland},\n  doi          = {10.3390/antibiotics12010015},\n  issn-linking = {2079-6382},\n  issue        = {1},\n  keywords     = {C-13 derivatives of berberine; antibiotic activity; bacterial membrane potential; bacterial ribosome; berberine; biofilms; chloramphenicol},\n  nlm-id       = {101637404},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pii          = {15},\n  pmc          = {PMC9854996},\n  pmid         = {36671216},\n  pubmodel     = {Electronic},\n  pubstate     = {epublish},\n  revised      = {2023-01-23},\n}\n\n

It was long known that elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is N-terminally acetylated, whereas the enzyme responsible for this process was unclear. Here, we report that RimI acetyltransferase, known to modify ribosomal protein S18, is likewise responsible for N-acetylation of the EF-Tu. With the help of inducible tufA expression plasmid, we demonstrated that the acetylation does not alter the stability of EF-Tu. Binding of aminoacyl tRNA to the recombinant EF-Tu in vitro was found to be unaffected by the acetylation. At the same time, with the help of fast kinetics methods, we demonstrate that an acetylated variant of EF-Tu more efficiently accelerates A-site occupation by aminoacyl-tRNA, thus increasing the efficiency of in vitro translation. Finally, we show that a strain devoid of RimI has a reduced growth rate, expanded to an evolutionary timescale, and might potentially promote conservation of the acetylation mechanism of S18 and EF-Tu. This study increased our understanding of the modification of bacterial translation apparatus.},\n  chemicals       = {Peptide Elongation Factors, RNA, Transfer, Amino Acyl, Ribosomal Proteins, ribosomal protein S18, Guanosine Triphosphate, Acetyltransferases, Peptide Elongation Factor Tu},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2022-06-03},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101914},\n  issn-linking    = {0021-9258},\n  issue           = {5},\n  keywords        = {Acetylation; Acetyltransferases, genetics, metabolism; Bacteria, metabolism; Guanosine Triphosphate, metabolism; Kinetics; Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, genetics, metabolism; Peptide Elongation Factors, genetics, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, Amino Acyl, metabolism; Ribosomal Proteins; Ribosomes, metabolism; EF-Tu; bacteria; post-translational modification; ribosome},\n  nlm-id          = {2985121R},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {S0021-9258(22)00354-4},\n  pmc             = {PMC9079301},\n  pmid            = {35398352},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2022-07-16},\n}\n\n

In addition, it was previously shown that cirDNA can bind to the outer surface of exosomes. NTA analysis and real-time PCR show that exosomes from healthy females (HF) or breast cancer patients (BCP) plasma contain less than 1.4 × 10  pg of DNA. Thus, only a minor part of cirDNA is attached to the outer side of the exosome as part of the vesicle crown: the share of exosomal DNA does not exceed 0.025% HF plasma DNA and 0.004% BCP plasma DNA. Treatment of plasma exosomes with DNase I with subsequent dot immunoassay reveals that H2a, H2b, and H3 histones are not part of the exosomal membrane, but are part of the cirDNA-protein macromolecular complex associated with the surface of the exosome either through interaction with DNA-binding proteins or with histone-binding proteins. Using bioinformatics approaches after identification by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, 16 exosomal DNA-binding proteins were identified. It was shown that four proteins-AIFM1, IGHM, CHD5, and KCNIP3-are candidates for DNA binding on the outer membrane of exosomes; the crown of exosomes may include five DNA-binding proteins: H2a, H2b, H3, IGHM, and ALB. Of note, AIFM1, IGHM, and CHD5 proteins are found only in HF plasma exosomes; KCNIP3 protein is identified only in BCP plasma exosomes; and H2a, H2b, H3, and ALB are revealed in all samples of plasma exosomes. Two histone-binding proteins, CHD5 and KDM6B, have been found in exosomes from HF plasma. The data obtained indicate that cirDNA preferentially binds to the outer membrane of exosomes by association with DNA-binding proteins.},\n  country      = {Switzerland},\n  doi          = {10.3390/diagnostics12040854},\n  issn-linking = {2075-4418},\n  issue        = {4},\n  keywords     = {DNA-binding proteins; circulating DNA; crown; exosomes; histone-binding proteins},\n  nlm-id       = {101658402},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pii          = {854},\n  pmc          = {PMC9027845},\n  pmid         = {35453902},\n  pubmodel     = {Electronic},\n  pubstate     = {epublish},\n  revised      = {2022-07-16},\n}\n\n

The contribution of AFM, in particular, is often confined to size distribution. While AFM provides a unique possibility to carry out measurements in situ, nanomechanical characterization of EVs is still missing. Blood plasma EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation, analyzed by flow cytometry and NTA. Followed by cryo-EM, we applied PeakForce AFM to assess morphological and nanomechanical properties of EVs in liquid. Nanoparticles were subdivided by their size estimated for their suspended state into sub-sets of small S1-EVs (< 30 nm), S2-EVs (30-50 nm), and sub-set of large ones L-EVs (50-170 nm). Non-membranous S1-EVs were distinguished by higher Young's modulus (10.33(7.36;15.25) MPa) and were less deformed by AFM tip (3.6(2.8;4.4) nm) compared to membrane exosomes S2-EVs (6.25(4.52;8.24) MPa and 4.8(4.3;5.9) nm). L-EVs were identified as large membrane exosomes, heterogeneous by their nanomechanical properties (22.43(8.26;53.11) MPa and 3.57(2.07;7.89) nm). Nanomechanical mapping revealed a few non-deformed L-EVs, of which Young's modulus rose up to 300 MPa. Taken together with cryo-EM, these results lead us to the suggestion that two or more vesicles could be contained inside a large one being a multilayer vesicle. We identified particles similar in morphology and showed differences in nanomechanical properties that could be attributed to the features of their inner structure. Our results further elucidate the identification of EVs and concomitant nanoparticles based on their nanomechanical properties.},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2022-05-09},\n  country         = {Netherlands},\n  doi             = {10.1016/j.bbagen.2022.130139},\n  issn-linking    = {0304-4165},\n  issue           = {7},\n  keywords        = {Elastic Modulus; Exosomes; Microscopy, Atomic Force; Nanoparticles; Plasma; Atomic force microscopy; Extracellular vesicles; Multilayered vesicles; Quantitative nanomechanical mapping exosomes; The Young's modulus},\n  nlm-id          = {101731726},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {S0304-4165(22)00057-5},\n  pmid            = {35390487},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2022-06-17},\n}\n\n

Most plant serpins have not been functionally characterized, with the exception of Arabidopsis thaliana AtSerpin1, an inhibitor of pro-apoptotic proteases, which is involved in the regulation of the programmed cell death induction, and Cucurbita maxima CmPS1, a phloem protein, which presumably inhibits insect digestive proteases and binds RNA. CmPS1 interacts most efficiently with highly structured RNA; in particular, it forms a specific complex with tRNA. Here, we demonstrated that AtSerpin1 also forms a complex with tRNA. Analysis of tRNA species bound by AtSerpin1 and CmPS1 in the presence of tRNA excess revealed that both proteins have no strict selectivity for individual tRNAs, suggesting specific interaction of AtSerpin1 and CmPS1 proteins with elements of the secondary/tertiary structure universal for all tRNAs. Analysis of CmPS1 binding of the microRNA precursor pre-miR390 and its mutants demonstrated that the pre-miR390 mutant with a perfect duplex in the hairpin stem lost the ability to form a discrete complex with CmPS1, whereas another variant of pre-miR390 with the native unpaired nucleotide residues in the stem retained this ability. These data indicate that specific interactions of plant serpins with structured RNA are based on the recognition of structurally unique spatial motifs formed with the participation of unpaired nucleotide residues in the RNA duplexes.},\n  chemicals       = {Arabidopsis Proteins, MicroRNAs, Protease Inhibitors, Serpin1 protein, Arabidopsis, Serpins, phloem serpin 1, RNA, Transfer},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2022-02-03},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1134/S0006297921100059},\n  issn-linking    = {0006-2979},\n  issue           = {10},\n  keywords        = {Arabidopsis, cytology, genetics, metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins, genetics, metabolism; Cell Death, physiology; Cucurbita, cytology, genetics, metabolism; MicroRNAs, genetics, metabolism; Protease Inhibitors, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, genetics, metabolism; Serpins, genetics, metabolism; RNA binding; RNA structure; RNA-binding protein; microRNA; phloem; serpin; tRNA},\n  nlm-id          = {0376536},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {BCM86101550},\n  pmid            = {34903159},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2022-02-03},\n}\n\n

The Ami binding site locates in the vicinity of the E-site codon of mRNA. However, Ami does not clash with mRNA, rather stabilizes it, which is relatively unusual and implies a unique way of translation inhibition. In this work, we performed a kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of Ami influence on the main steps of polypeptide synthesis. We show that Ami reduces the rate of the functional canonical 70S initiation complex (IC) formation by 30-fold. Additionally, our results indicate that Ami promotes the formation of erroneous 30S ICs; however, IF3 prevents them from progressing towards translation initiation. During early elongation steps, Ami does not compromise EF-Tu-dependent A-site binding or peptide bond formation. On the other hand, Ami reduces the rate of peptidyl-tRNA movement from the A to the P site and significantly decreases the amount of the ribosomes capable of polypeptide synthesis. Our data indicate that Ami progressively decreases the activity of translating ribosomes that may appear to be the main inhibitory mechanism of Ami. Indeed, the use of EF-G mutants that confer resistance to Ami (G542V, G581A, or ins544V) leads to a complete restoration of the ribosome functionality. It is possible that the changes in translocation induced by EF-G mutants compensate for the activity loss caused by Ami.},\n  country      = {Switzerland},\n  doi          = {10.3389/fmicb.2021.618857},\n  issn-linking = {1664-302X},\n  keywords     = {amicoumacin A; antibiotic resistance; elongation factor EF-G; initiation; microscale thermophoresis; rapid kinetics; translocation},\n  nlm-id       = {101548977},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pii          = {618857},\n  pmc          = {PMC7907450},\n  pmid         = {33643246},\n  pubmodel     = {Electronic-eCollection},\n  pubstate     = {epublish},\n  revised      = {2021-03-03},\n}\n\n

Here, we describe the dynamic interplay between IF3 domains and their alternative binding sites using pre-steady state kinetics combined with molecular modelling of available structures of initiation complexes. Our results show that IF3 accommodates its domains at velocities ranging over two orders of magnitude, responding to the binding of each 30S ligand. IF1 and IF2 promote IF3 compaction and the movement of the C-terminal domain (IF3C) towards the P site. Concomitantly, the N-terminal domain (IF3N) creates a pocket ready to accept the initiator tRNA. Selection of the initiator tRNA is accompanied by a transient accommodation of IF3N towards the 30S platform. Decoding of the mRNA start codon displaces IF3C away from the P site and rate limits translation initiation. 70S initiation complex formation brings IF3 domains in close proximity to each other prior to dissociation and recycling of the factor for a new round of translation initiation. Altogether, our results describe the kinetic spectrum of IF3 movements and highlight functional transitions of the factor that ensure accurate mRNA translation initiation.},\n  chemicals       = {Bacterial Proteins, Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-1, Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-2, Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-3, RNA, Transfer, Met, fMet-tRNA(fMet)},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2021-07-28},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1093/nar/gkab522},\n  issn-linking    = {0305-1048},\n  issue           = {12},\n  keywords        = {Bacterial Proteins, chemistry, metabolism; Binding Sites; Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer; Kinetics; Models, Molecular; Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational; Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-1, metabolism; Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-2, metabolism; Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-3, chemistry, metabolism; Protein Binding; Protein Conformation; Protein Domains; RNA, Transfer, Met, metabolism; Ribosome Subunits, Small, Bacterial, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {0411011},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {6308496},\n  pmc             = {PMC8266586},\n  pmid            = {34161576},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-07-28},\n}\n\n

Using various biochemical assays, we showed that these CAM-Cn-TPP compounds bind to the bacterial ribosome, inhibit protein synthesis in vitro and in vivo in a way similar to that of the parent CHL, and significantly reduce membrane potential. Similar to CAM-C4-TPP, the mode of action of CAM-C10-TPP and CAM-C14-TPP in bacterial ribosomes differs from that of CHL. By simulating the dynamics of CAM-Cn-TPP complexes with bacterial ribosomes, we proposed a possible explanation for the specificity of the action of these analogs in the translation process. CAM-C10-TPP and CAM-C14-TPP more strongly inhibit the growth of the Gram-positive bacteria, as compared to CHL, and suppress some CHL-resistant bacterial strains. Thus, we have shown that TPP derivatives of CHL are dual-acting compounds targeting both the ribosomes and cellular membranes of bacteria. The TPP fragment of CAM-Cn-TPP compounds has an inhibitory effect on bacteria. Moreover, since the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells possess qualities similar to those of their prokaryotic ancestors, we demonstrate the possibility of targeting chemoresistant cancer cells with these compounds.},\n  country      = {Switzerland},\n  doi          = {10.3390/antibiotics10050489},\n  issn-linking = {2079-6382},\n  issue        = {5},\n  keywords     = {alkyl(triphenyl)phosphonium; antibiotic activity; antiproliferative activity; bacterial ribosome; chloramphenicol; molecular dynamics simulations},\n  nlm-id       = {101637404},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pii          = {489},\n  pmc          = {PMC8145938},\n  pmid         = {33922611},\n  pubmodel     = {Electronic},\n  pubstate     = {epublish},\n  revised      = {2021-05-27},\n}\n\n

After splitting of the stalled ribosome, a C-terminal polyalanine 'tail' is added to the unfinished polypeptide attached to the tRNA on the 50S ribosomal subunit. In Bacillus subtilis, polyalanine tailing is catalyzed by the NEMF family protein RqcH, in cooperation with RqcP. However, the mechanistic details of this process remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that RqcH is responsible for tRNAAla selection during RQC elongation, whereas RqcP lacks any tRNA specificity. The ribosomal protein uL11 is crucial for RqcH, but not RqcP, recruitment to the 50S subunit, and B. subtilis lacking uL11 are RQC-deficient. Through mutational mapping, we identify critical residues within RqcH and RqcP that are important for interaction with the P-site tRNA and/or the 50S subunit. Additionally, we have reconstituted polyalanine-tailing in vitro and can demonstrate that RqcH and RqcP are necessary and sufficient for processivity in a minimal system. Moreover, the in vitro reconstituted system recapitulates our in vivo findings by reproducing the importance of conserved residues of RqcH and RqcP for functionality.

In this work, EVs from grapefruit juice were isolated by differential centrifugation followed by characterization of their size, quantity and morphology by nanoparticle tracking analysis, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM). In Cryo-EM experiments, we visualized grapefruit EVs with the average size of 41 ± 13 nm, confirmed their round-shaped morphology and estimated the thickness of their lipid bilayer as 5.3 ± 0.8 nm. Further, using cell culture models, we have successfully demonstrated that native grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles (GF-EVs) are highly efficient carriers for the delivery of the exogenous Alexa Fluor 647 labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) into both human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and colon cancer cells. Interestingly, loading to plant EVs significantly ameliorated the uptake of exogenous proteins by human cells compared to the same proteins without EVs. Most importantly, we have confirmed the functional activity of human recombinant HSP70 in the colon cancer cell culture upon delivery by GF-EVs. Analysis of the biodistribution of GF-EVs loaded with  I-labeled BSA in mice demonstrated a significant uptake of the grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles by the majority of organs. The results of our study indicate that native plant EVs might be safe and effective carriers of exogenous proteins into human cells.},\n  chemicals       = {HSP70 Heat-Shock Proteins, Nanocapsules, Serum Albumin, Bovine},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2021-10-15},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1038/s41598-021-85833-y},\n  issn-linking    = {2045-2322},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Cells, Cultured; Citrus paradisi, chemistry; Extracellular Vesicles, chemistry, ultrastructure; HCT116 Cells; HSP70 Heat-Shock Proteins, administration & dosage; Humans; Leukocytes, Mononuclear, metabolism; Nanocapsules, chemistry, ultrastructure; Serum Albumin, Bovine, administration & dosage},\n  nlm-id          = {101563288},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {6489},\n  pmc             = {PMC7985202},\n  pmid            = {33753795},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2021-10-15},\n}\n\n

Alpha-synuclein misfolding and aggregation resulting in neurototoxicity is a hallmark of PD. The prion properties of alpha-synuclein are still under discussion. Exosomes (extrcellular vesicles 40-100 nm in size) can play a key role in the transport of pathogenic forms of alpha-synuclein. The most frequent inherited forms of the disease are PD associated with mutation in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2-PD) and glucocerebrosidase (GBA-PD) genes. The aim of our work is to evaluate the concentration and size of exosomes derived from blood plasma of patients with GBA-PD, asymptomatic GBA mutation carriers, and the effect of GBA and LRRK2 mutations on alpha-synuclein level in exosomes derived from peripheral blood plasma. Plasma extracellular vesicles were isolated via chemical precipitation and sequential ultracentrifugation and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and flow cytometry. Total alpha-synuclein level in plasma exosomes was estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients with sporadic PD, PD with dementia, patients with inherited PD (GBA-PD, LRRK2-PD), and GBA mutation carriers were included in the study. The concentration on plasma exosomes was higher in GBA-PD patients that in sporadic PD patients, asymptomatic carriers of mutations on GBA gene, and control (p = 0.004, 0.019 and 0.0001 respectively). The size of plasma exosomes was higher in GBA-PD patients compared to asymptomatic carriers of GBA mutations and control (p = 0.009 and 0.0001, respectively). No significant difference was found for exosomal alpha-synuclein levels in the studied groups. Our results allowed us to suggest that a decrease in GBA activity may affect the pool of plasma exosomes, and mutations in the LRRK2 and GBA genes do not influence the level of plasma exosomal alpha-synuclein.},\n  chemicals       = {Leucine-Rich Repeat Serine-Threonine Protein Kinase-2, Glucosylceramidase},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2021-04-21},\n  country         = {Russia (Federation)},\n  doi             = {10.31857/S0026898421010092},\n  issn-linking    = {0026-8984},\n  issue           = {2},\n  keywords        = {Exosomes, genetics; Glucosylceramidase, genetics; Humans; Leucine-Rich Repeat Serine-Threonine Protein Kinase-2, genetics; Mutation; Parkinson Disease, genetics; Plasma; GBA; LRRK2; Parkinson's disease; alpha-synuclein; exosomes},\n  nlm-id          = {0105454},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {33871446},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-04-21},\n  season          = {Mar-Apr},\n}\n\n

Accordingly, we discussed the possible routes of SARS-CoV-2 entry into the central nervous system and the mechanisms of nervous tissue damage.Based on the literature analysis, a high frequency and variability of central nervous system manifestations of COVID-19 were revealed, and an important role of vascular brain damage and neurodegeneration in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 was highlighted.\n

Unidirectional and cyclic functioning of G proteins is ensured by their ability to switch between the active and inactive states due to GTP hydrolysis accelerated by the auxiliary GTPase-activating proteins. Although trGTPases interact with the ribosomes in different conformational states, they bind to the same conserved region, which, unlike in classical GTPase-activating proteins, is represented by ribosomal RNA. The resulting catalytic sites have almost identical structure in all elongation factors suggesting a common mechanism of GTP hydrolysis. However, fine details of the activated state formation and significantly different rates of GTP hydrolysis indicate the existence of distinctive features upon GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by the different factors. Here, we present a contemporary view on the mechanism of GTPase activation and GTP hydrolysis by the elongation factors EF-Tu, EF-G, and SelB based on the analysis of structural, biochemical, and bioinformatics data.},\n  chemicals       = {Peptide Elongation Factors, Guanosine Triphosphate},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2021-07-06},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1134/S0006297920110103},\n  issn-linking    = {0006-2979},\n  issue           = {11},\n  keywords        = {Guanosine Triphosphate, genetics, metabolism; Hydrolysis; Peptide Elongation Factors, genetics, metabolism; Protein Biosynthesis; Ribosomes, genetics, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {0376536},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {BCM85111676},\n  pmid            = {33280582},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-07-06},\n}\n\n

EVs deliver complex sets of biological information to recipient cells thereby modulating their behaviors by their molecular cargo. In this way EVs are involved in the pathological development and progression of many human disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. In this study EVs purified by ultracentrifugation from CSF of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and individuals of the comparison group were characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis, flow cytometry and cryo-electron microscopy. Vesicular size and the presence of exosomal marker CD9 on the surface provided evidence that most of the EVs were exosome-like vesicles. Cryo-electron microscopy allowed us to visualize a large spectrum of extracellular vesicles of various size and morphology with lipid bilayers and vesicular internal structures.

Here, we elucidate how the initiating ribosome senses the cellular pool of guanosine nucleotides and regulates the progression towards protein synthesis. Our results show that the affinity of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and the inhibitory concentration of ppGpp for the 30S-bound initiation factor IF2 vary depending on the programmed mRNA. The TufA mRNA enhanced GTP affinity for 30S complexes, resulting in improved ppGpp tolerance and allowing efficient protein synthesis. Conversely, the InfA mRNA allowed ppGpp to compete with GTP for IF2, thus stalling 30S complexes. Structural modeling and biochemical analysis of the TufA mRNA unveiled a structured enhancer of translation initiation (SETI) composed of two consecutive hairpins proximal to the translation initiation region (TIR) that largely account for ppGpp tolerance under physiological concentrations of guanosine nucleotides. Furthermore, our results show that the mechanism enhancing ppGpp tolerance is not restricted to the TufA mRNA, as similar ppGpp tolerance was found for the SETI-containing Rnr mRNA. Finally, we show that IF2 can use pppGpp to promote the formation of 30S initiation complexes (ICs), albeit requiring higher factor concentration and resulting in slower transitions to translation elongation. Altogether, our data unveil a novel regulatory mechanism at the onset of protein synthesis that tolerates physiological concentrations of ppGpp and that bacteria can exploit to modulate their proteome as a function of the nutritional shift happening during stringent response and infection.},\n  chemicals       = {Escherichia coli Proteins, RNA, Messenger, Guanosine Tetraphosphate, Guanosine Triphosphate, Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, tufB protein, E coli},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2020-04-24},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1371/journal.pbio.3000593},\n  issn-linking    = {1544-9173},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Binding, Competitive; Escherichia coli, genetics, metabolism; Escherichia coli Proteins, metabolism; Guanosine Tetraphosphate, metabolism, pharmacology; Guanosine Triphosphate, metabolism, pharmacology; Host-Pathogen Interactions, physiology; Kinetics; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational, drug effects, physiology; Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, metabolism; Protein Biosynthesis, drug effects; RNA, Messenger, chemistry, drug effects, genetics, metabolism; Ribosomes, drug effects, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {101183755},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {e3000593},\n  pmc             = {PMC7010297},\n  pmid            = {31995552},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic-eCollection},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2020-04-24},\n}\n\n

Numerous studies have explored the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of exosomes. The key challenge is the lack of efficient and standard techniques for isolation and downstream analysis of nanovesicles. Conventional isolation methods, such as ultracentrifugation, precipitation, filtration, chromatography, and immune-affinity-based approaches, rely on specific physical properties or on surface biomarkers. However, any of the existing methods has its limitations. Various parameters, such as efficacy, specificity, labor input, cost and scalability, and standardization options, must be considered for the correct choice of appropriate approach. The isolation of exosomes from biological fluids is especially challenged by the complex nature and variability of these liquids. Here, we present a comparison of five protocols for exosome isolation from human plasma: two chemical affinity precipitation methods (lectin-based purification and SubX™ technology), immunoaffinity precipitation, and reference ultracentrifugation-based exosome isolation method in two modifications. An approach for the isolation of exosomes based on the phenomenon of binding and aggregation of these particles via clusters of outer membrane phosphate groups in the presence of SubX™ molecules has been put forward in the present study. The isolated EVs were characterized based upon size, quantity, and protein content.},\n  chemicals       = {Lectins},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2021-01-04},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1371/journal.pone.0242732},\n  issn-linking    = {1932-6203},\n  issue           = {11},\n  keywords        = {Cell-Derived Microparticles, chemistry; Exosomes, chemistry; Humans; Immunoprecipitation; Lectins, chemistry; Plasma, chemistry; Ultracentrifugation},\n  nlm-id          = {101285081},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {e0242732},\n  pmc             = {PMC7685508},\n  pmid            = {33232386},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic-eCollection},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2021-01-04},\n}\n\n

In the current work, we found that neither the presence of the side chain, nor the additional contact with the ribosome, improve the binding affinity of dirithromycin to the ribosome.

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of the dirithromycin bound to the translating   70S ribosome, which suggests that the better inhibitory properties of the drug could be rationalized by the side chain of dirithromycin pointing into the lumen of the nascent peptide exit tunnel, where it can interfere with the normal passage of the growing polypeptide chain.},\n  chemicals       = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, Protein Synthesis Inhibitors, RNA, Ribosomal, 23S, dirithromycin, Erythromycin},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2020-06-15},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1261/rna.073817.119},\n  issn-linking    = {1355-8382},\n  issue           = {6},\n  keywords        = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, chemistry, pharmacology; Cryoelectron Microscopy; Erythromycin, analogs & derivatives, chemistry, pharmacology; Escherichia coli, genetics; Models, Molecular; Protein Biosynthesis, drug effects; Protein Synthesis Inhibitors, chemistry, pharmacology; RNA, Ribosomal, 23S, chemistry; Ribosomes, chemistry; 70S ribosome; antibiotic; cryo-EM; dirithromycin; inhibitor; macrolide; nascent peptide exit tunnel},\n  medline         = {9509184},\n  nlm-id          = {9509184},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {rna.073817.119},\n  pmc             = {PMC7266154},\n  pmid            = {32144191},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-06-02},\n}\n\n

Air measurements of exosomes revealed a mechanically indented internal cavity in which highly adhesive sites were located. In contrast, the highly adhesive sites of exomeres were located at the periphery and the observed diameter of the particles was ~35 nm. In liquid, the reversible deformation of the internal cavity of exosomes was observed and a slightly deformed lipid bi-layer was identified. In contrast, exomeres were not deformed and their observed diameter was ~16 nm. The difference in diameters might be associated with a higher sorption of water film in air.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop new potent macrolides to combat the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens. One of the key steps in rational drug design is the identification of chemical groups that mediate binding of the drug to its target and their subsequent derivatization to strengthen drug-target interactions. In the case of macrolides, a few groups are known to be important for drug binding to the ribosome, such as desosamine. Search for new chemical moieties that improve the interactions of a macrolide with the 70S ribosome might be of crucial importance for the invention of new macrolides. For this purpose, here we studied a classic macrolide, dirithromycin, which has an extended (2-methoxyethoxy)-methyl side chain attached to the C-9/C-11 atoms of the macrolactone ring that can account for strong binding of dirithromycin to the 70S ribosome. By solving the crystal structure of the 70S ribosome in complex with dirithromycin, we found that its side chain interacts with the wall of the nascent peptide exit tunnel in an idiosyncratic fashion: its side chain forms a lone pair-π stacking interaction with the aromatic imidazole ring of the His69 residue in ribosomal protein uL4. To our knowledge, the ability of this side chain to form a contact in the macrolide binding pocket has not been reported previously and potentially can open new avenues for further exploration by medicinal chemists developing next-generation macrolide antibiotics active against resistant pathogens.},\n  chemicals       = {Amino Sugars, Anti-Bacterial Agents, Macrolides, Peptides, Protein Synthesis Inhibitors, Ribosomal Proteins, ribosomal protein L4, dirithromycin, desosamine, Erythromycin},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2020-04-20},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1128/AAC.02266-18},\n  issn-linking    = {0066-4804},\n  issue           = {6},\n  keywords        = {Amino Sugars, pharmacology; Anti-Bacterial Agents, pharmacology; Drug Resistance, Bacterial; Erythromycin, analogs & derivatives, pharmacology; Macrolides, pharmacology; Peptides, pharmacology; Protein Structure, Secondary; Protein Synthesis Inhibitors, pharmacology; Ribosomal Proteins, metabolism; Ribosomes, metabolism; X-ray structure; antibiotic; dirithromycin; inhibitor; macrolides; nascent peptide exit tunnel; ribosomal protein uL4},\n  nlm-id          = {0315061},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {e02266-18},\n  pmc             = {PMC6535518},\n  pmid            = {30936109},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic-Print},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2020-04-20},\n}\n\n

Transcription factors gli, required for embryonic development, may be involved in this process. We studied the activity of transcription factors gli in high-grade gliomas and their role in maintenance of stem cell state and glioma cell survival. 20 glioma cell lines and a sample of a normal adult brain tissue were used in the present study. We found the expression of gli target genes, including GLI1 and FOXM1, in all tested glioma cell lines, but not in the normal tissue. Interestingly, the expression of gli target genes in some glioma cell lines was observed together with a high level of their transcriptional repressor, Gli3R. Knockdown of GLI3 in one of these lines resulted in decrease of gli target gene expression. These data suggest that Gli3R does not prevent the gli target genes transcription, and gli3 acts in glioma cells more as an activator, than a repressor of transcription.

Extracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, are known to be involved in inter-cellular communication during cancer progression. In the study presented herein, we aimed to evaluate the role of circulating plasma exosomes in the metastatic dissemination of BC and to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon. Exosomes isolated from plasma of healthy female donors were applied in various concentrations into the medium of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines. Motility and invasive properties of BC cells were examined by random migration and Transwell invasion assays, and the effect of plasma exosomes on the metastatic dissemination of BC cells was demonstrated in an in vivo zebrafish model. To reveal the molecular mechanism of interaction between plasma exosomes and BC cells, a comparison between un-treated and enzymatically modified exosomes was performed, followed by mass spectrometry, gene ontology, and pathway analysis. Plasma exosomes stimulated the adhesive properties, two-dimensional random migration, and transwell invasion of BC cells in vitro as well as their in vivo metastatic dissemination in a dose-dependent manner. This stimulatory effect was mediated by interactions of surface exosome proteins with BC cells and consequent activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in the tumor cells. Plasma exosomes have a potency to stimulate the metastasis-promoting properties of BC cells. This pro-metastatic property of normal plasma exosomes may have impact on the course of the disease and on its prognosis.},\n  chemicals       = {Focal Adhesion Kinase 1, PTK2 protein, human},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2019-07-08},\n  country         = {Netherlands},\n  doi             = {10.1007/s10549-018-5043-0},\n  issn-linking    = {0167-6806},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Animals; Breast Neoplasms, enzymology, pathology; Cell Movement, physiology; Exosomes, metabolism, pathology; Female; Focal Adhesion Kinase 1, metabolism; Heterografts; Humans; MCF-7 Cells; Neoplasm Invasiveness, pathology; Signal Transduction, physiology; Zebrafish; Breast cancer; Exosomes; FAK signaling; Mass spectrometry; Metastasis; Surface interaction},\n  nlm-id          = {8111104},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {10.1007/s10549-018-5043-0},\n  pmid            = {30484103},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2019-07-08},\n}\n\n

The L-histidyl analog binds to the ribosome with the affinity exceeding that of CHL by 10 fold. Several of the newly synthesized analogs were able to inhibit protein synthesis and exhibited the mode of action that was distinct from the action of CHL. However, the inhibitory properties of the semi-synthetic CHL analogs did not correlate with their affinity and in general, the amino acid analogs of CHL were less active inhibitors of translation in comparison with the original antibiotic. The X-ray crystal structures of the Thermus thermophilus 70S ribosome in complex with three semi-synthetic analogs showed that CHL derivatives bind at the peptidyl transferase center, where the aminoacyl moiety of the tested compounds established idiosyncratic interactions with rRNA.

Using untagged native RelA we show that allosteric activation of RelA by pppGpp increases the efficiency of GDP conversion to achieve the maximum rate of (p)ppGpp production. Using a panel of ribosomal RNA mutants, we show that the A-site finger structural element of 23S rRNA helix 38 is crucial for RelA binding to the ribosome and consequent activation, and deletion of the element severely compromises (p)ppGpp accumulation in E. coli upon amino acid starvation. Through binding assays and enzymology, we show that E. coli RelA does not form a stable complex with, and is not activated by, deacylated tRNA off the ribosome.

Several methods of EV isolation from cell culture medium are established, however selection of method might influence on obtained results. The choice of the optimal method depends usually from the amount of medium and the aims of the research while is still challenging issue. We performed a comparative analysis of four different methods of EV isolation from cell culture medium: differential ultracentrifugation, ultracentrifugation with a 30% sucrose/D2O "cushion", precipitation with plant proteins and immune-affinity capturing. EV isolated by different approaches were compared in terms of following parameters: size, concentration, morphology of EV, contamination by non-vesicular particles, content of exosomal tetraspanins on the EV surface, content of total proteins, RNA, and several glioma-associated miRNAs. Applied methods included nano-patricle tracking analysis (NTA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), cryo-electron microscopy, flow cytometry and RT-qPCR. On the base of obtained results, we developed practical recommendations that may help researchers to make a best choice of EV isolation method.},\n  chemicals       = {Culture Media},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2019-05-03},\n  country         = {Russia (Federation)},\n  doi             = {10.18097/PBMC20186401023},\n  issn-linking    = {2310-6905},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Cell Culture Techniques; Cryoelectron Microscopy; Culture Media; Extracellular Vesicles; Ultracentrifugation; exsosomes; extracellular vesicles; immunoprecipitation; lectines; methods of isolation; ultracentrifugation},\n  nlm-id          = {101196966},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {29460831},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2019-05-03},\n}\n\n

KLB adopts a compact conformation and largely obstructs the tunnel.

In this work, we have revealed the mode of action of the PTC inhibitor madumycin II, an alanine-containing streptogramin A antibiotic, in the context of a functional 70S ribosome containing tRNA substrates. Madumycin II inhibits the ribosome prior to the first cycle of peptide bond formation. It allows binding of the tRNAs to the ribosomal A and P sites, but prevents correct positioning of their CCA-ends into the PTC thus making peptide bond formation impossible. We also revealed a previously unseen drug-induced rearrangement of nucleotides U2506 and U2585 of the 23S rRNA resulting in the formation of the U2506•G2583 wobble pair that was attributed to a catalytically inactive state of the PTC.

While the majority of the p53 mutations, especially within its DNA-binding domain, lead to the loss of the wild-type function, there are accumulating data demonstrating that the p53 mutants gain tumour promoting activities; the latter triggers a revitalised interest in functional analysis of the p53 mutants. A systematic screening for p53 mutations in surgical materials from patients with glioma revealed a 378C>G mutation that creates a stop codon at the position of amino acid residue 126. The mutation eliminates the recognition site for the restriction endonuclease Sca I that allowed us to carry out RFLP analysis of DNA extracted from the clinical samples and suggests that this mutation is more frequent than is documented in the p53 databases. Both the ECV-304 and EJ cell lines, that probably originate from the bladder carcinoma T24 cell line, were confirmed to contain the homozygous 378C>G mutation but were shown to produce the p53 protein of expected full-length size detected by Western blotting. We provide evidence that the 378C>G mutation generates an alternative 3' splice site (ss) which is more often used instead of the authentic upstream 3' ss, driving the production of mRNA encoding the protein with the single amino acid deletion (p53ΔY126). Using endogenous expression, we demonstrated that the p53ΔY126 protein is nearly as active as the wild type protein in inducing the p21/Waf1 expression and apoptosis.},\n  chemicals       = {Codon, Nonsense, DNA, Complementary, TP53 protein, human, Tumor Suppressor Protein p53},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2017-11-03},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1371/journal.pone.0185126},\n  issn-linking    = {1932-6203},\n  issue           = {9},\n  keywords        = {Alternative Splicing; Apoptosis; Blotting, Western; Cell Line, Tumor; Codon, Nonsense; DNA, Complementary, genetics; Flow Cytometry; Humans; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; Tumor Suppressor Protein p53, genetics},\n  nlm-id          = {101285081},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {e0185126},\n  pmc             = {PMC5621691},\n  pmid            = {28961258},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic-eCollection},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2018-11-13},\n}\n\n

A major bottleneck in the development of exosome-based diagnostic assays is the challenging purification of these vesicles; this requires time-consuming and instrument-based procedures. Isolation of exosomes can be a tedious, non-specific, and difficult process. Here, we provide a preparative technique for isolation of exosomes based on their ability to aggregate in the presence of lectins. The new method for lectin-based isolation of exosomes from cell culture media was developed as a sample preparation step for exosome-based protein biomarker research.},\n  chemicals       = {Lectins, Proteome},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2018-09-24},\n  country         = {Russia (Federation)},\n  issn-linking    = {0041-3771},\n  issue           = {1},\n  keywords        = {Exosomes, chemistry, metabolism; HeLa Cells; Humans; Lectins, chemistry; MCF-7 Cells; Proteome, metabolism; Proteomics, methods},\n  nlm-id          = {0417363},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {30188097},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2018-09-24},\n}\n\n

Secreted by nearly all mammalian cell types         and present in bodily fluids, exosomes confer messages between         cells, by transporting functionally relevant proteins, nucleic         acids, and lipids. The capability of tumor exosomes to house         tumorigenic information and induce cellular responses that         promote disease pathogenesis make tumor exosomes an attractive         tool in identifying cancer biomarkers and exploiting exosomes         for therapy. In this paper, we sum up our previous findings to         utilize exosomes as biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis         and therapy selection of prostate and thyroid cancer and present         our results on exosomes in colon cancer. Some of plasma exosomal         miRNAs showed their potential as diagnostic markers for colon         cancer. All together, the data suggested the potentials of         circulating exosomal miRNAs as liquid biopsy markers for cancer.         Here we also present the possibilities of delivering therapeutic         molecules by exosomes. Previously, we had demonstrated the         potential of exosome-mediated siRNA delivery.

Here we present the structures of six intermediates on the pathway of UGA recoding in Escherichia coli by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.

Subsequent codon recognition results in a local closure of the decoding site, which moves Sec-tRNA  away from the SRL and triggers a global closure of the 30S subunit shoulder domain. As a consequence, SelB docks on the SRL, activating the GTPase of SelB.

As has been revealed by a number of studies, TC tissue's micro-RNA (miRNA) profile may reflect histological features and the clinical behavior of tumor. However, alteration of the miRNA profile of plasma exosomes associated with TC development has to date not been explored. We isolated exosomes from plasma and assayed their characteristics using laser diffraction particle size analysis, atomic force microscopy, and western blotting. Next, we profiled cancer-associated miRNAs in plasma exosomes obtained from papillary TC patients, before and after surgical removal of the tumor. The diagnostic value of selected miRNAs was evaluated in a large cohort of patients displaying different statuses of thyroid nodule disease. MiRNA assessment was performed by RT-qPCR. In total, 60 patients with different types of thyroid nodal pathology were included in the study. Our results revealed that the development of papillary TC is associated with specific changes in exosomal miRNA profiles; this phenomenon can be used for differential diagnostics. MiRNA-31 was found to be over-represented in the plasma exosomes of patients with papillary TC vs. benign tumors, while miRNA-21 helped to distinguish between benign tumors and follicular TC. MiRNA-21 and MiRNA-181a-5p were found to be expressed reciprocally in the exosomes of patients with papillary and follicular TC, and their comparative assessment may help to distinguish between these types of TC with 100 % sensitivity and 77 % specificity.},\n  chemicals       = {MIRN21 microRNA, human, MIrn181 microRNA, human, MicroRNAs},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2017-02-13},\n  country         = {Netherlands},\n  doi             = {10.1007/s13277-016-5065-3},\n  issn-linking    = {1010-4283},\n  issue           = {9},\n  keywords        = {Adenocarcinoma, Follicular, genetics; Adult; Carcinoma, genetics; Carcinoma, Papillary; Diagnosis, Differential; Exosomes, chemistry; Female; Humans; Male; MicroRNAs, blood; Middle Aged; Thyroid Cancer, Papillary; Thyroid Neoplasms, genetics; Diagnostics; Exosomes; MicroRNA; Thyroid cancer},\n  nlm-id          = {8409922},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {10.1007/s13277-016-5065-3},\n  pmid            = {27164936},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2018-12-02},\n}\n\n

Their increased conformational stability is among the main reasons for the high thermal stability of proteins in thermophilic bacteria. In addition, α-helices are often involved in protein interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids, and the lipids of cell membranes. That is why the highly stable α-helical peptides used as highly active and specific inhibitors of protein-protein and other interactions have recently found more applications in medicine. Several different approaches have been developed in recent years to improve the conformational stability of α-helical peptides and thermostable proteins, which will be discussed in this review. We also discuss the methods for improving the permeability of peptides and proteins across cellular membranes and their resistance to intracellular protease activity. Special attention is given to the SEQOPT method (http://mml.spbstu.ru/services/seqopt/), which is used to design conformationally stable short α-helices.},\n  country      = {Russia (Federation)},\n  issn-linking = {2075-8251},\n  issue        = {4},\n  keywords     = {conformational stability; factors of thermal stability; membrane permeability; resistance to intracellular proteolysis; α-helix},\n  nlm-id       = {101525823},\n  owner        = {NLM},\n  pmc          = {PMC5199208},\n  pmid         = {28050268},\n  pubmodel     = {Print},\n  pubstate     = {ppublish},\n  revised      = {2020-10-01},\n  season       = {Oct-Dec},\n}\n\n

Increased levels of the dihydrouridine modification are associated with cancer. Dihydrouridine synthases (Dus) from different subfamilies selectively reduce distinct uridines, located at spatially unique positions of folded tRNA, into dihydrouridine. Because the catalytic center of all Dus enzymes is conserved, it is unclear how the same protein fold can be reprogrammed to ensure that nucleotides exposed at spatially distinct faces of tRNA can be accommodated in the same active site. We show that the Escherichia coli DusC is specific toward U16 of tRNA. Unexpectedly, crystal structures of DusC complexes with tRNA(Phe) and tRNA(Trp) show that Dus subfamilies that selectively modify U16 or U20 in tRNA adopt identical folds but bind their respective tRNA substrates in an almost reverse orientation that differs by a 160° rotation. The tRNA docking orientation appears to be guided by subfamily-specific clusters of amino acids ("binding signatures") together with differences in the shape of the positively charged tRNA-binding surfaces. tRNA orientations are further constrained by positional differences between the C-terminal "recognition" domains. The exquisite substrate specificity of Dus enzymes is therefore controlled by a relatively simple mechanism involving major reorientation of the whole tRNA molecule. Such reprogramming of the enzymatic specificity appears to be a unique evolutionary solution for altering tRNA recognition by the same protein fold.},\n  chemicals       = {Amino Acids, Escherichia coli Proteins, RNA-Binding Proteins, RNA, RNA, Transfer, Oxidoreductases, Uridine},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2015-08-05},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1073/pnas.1500161112},\n  issn-linking    = {0027-8424},\n  issue           = {19},\n  keywords        = {Amino Acids, chemistry; Catalytic Domain; Crystallography, X-Ray; Escherichia coli, enzymology; Escherichia coli Proteins, chemistry; Evolution, Molecular; Oxidoreductases, chemistry; Protein Binding; Protein Folding; RNA, chemistry; RNA, Transfer, chemistry; RNA-Binding Proteins, chemistry; Substrate Specificity; Uridine, chemistry; X-Ray Diffraction; X-ray crystallography; dihydrouridine synthase; protein–RNA interaction; substrate specificity; tRNA modification},\n  nlm-id          = {7505876},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {1500161112},\n  pmc             = {PMC4434734},\n  pmid            = {25902496},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2018-11-13},\n}\n\n

Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the 70S ribosome from Escherichia coli in complex with elongation factor Tu, aminoacyl-tRNA and the antibiotic kirromycin at 2.65-2.9 Å resolution using spherical aberration (Cs)-corrected cryo-EM. Overall, the cryo-EM reconstruction at 2.9 Å resolution is comparable to the best-resolved X-ray structure of the E. coli 70S ribosome (2.8 Å), but provides more detailed information (2.65 Å) at the functionally important ribosomal core. The cryo-EM map elucidates for the first time the structure of all 35 rRNA modifications in the bacterial ribosome, explaining their roles in fine-tuning ribosome structure and function and modulating the action of antibiotics. We also obtained atomic models for flexible parts of the ribosome such as ribosomal proteins L9 and L31. The refined cryo-EM-based model presents the currently most complete high-resolution structure of the E. coli ribosome, which demonstrates the power of cryo-EM in structure determination of large and dynamic macromolecular complexes.},\n  chemicals       = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, Ligands, Pyridones, RNA, Bacterial, RNA, Ribosomal, RNA, Transfer, Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, mocimycin},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2015-05-14},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1038/nature14275},\n  issn-linking    = {0028-0836},\n  issue           = {7548},\n  keywords        = {Anti-Bacterial Agents, chemistry, metabolism; Cryoelectron Microscopy, methods; Escherichia coli, chemistry, ultrastructure; Ligands; Models, Molecular; Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure; Pyridones, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Bacterial, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure; RNA, Ribosomal, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure; RNA, Transfer, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure; Ribosomes, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure},\n  nlm-id          = {0410462},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {nature14275},\n  pmid            = {25707802},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2018-11-13},\n}\n\n

Here, we demonstrated the activation of expression of the p21/Waf1 gene when the cells were treated to sodium butyrate (NaBu)--one of the natural inhibitors of deacetylase, and investigated whether this phenomenon depends on the presence of functionally active TP53 protein. We compared the effect of the NaBu treatment on the human cell line with different TP53 mutation profile, including: wild-type TP53, single nucleotide substitutions, and the complete absence of TP53 gene. NaBu activated the TP53 protein via hyper acetylation at lysine residue K382, without significant changes in the level of protein expression. Western blotting demonstrated that the addition of NaBu triggers a significant increase in the p21/Waf1 protein level in both the TP53 wild-type cells and in the cells with single nucleotide substitutions in the domain responsible for the binding of TP53 protein to DNA. At the same time, no the p21/Waf1 protein induction was observed in the cells with complete deletion of the TP53 gene. However, NaBu was not able to induce the p2 1/Waf1 production when the expression of TP53 was transiently knocked down by the p53 siRNA. Overall, our results suggest that the NaBu-dependent induction of p21/Waf1 does require the presence of TP53 protein but unexpectedly it can occur regardless of mutational changes in the domain responsible for the TP53 binding to DNA. One of the hypothetical explanations is that NaBu increases the level of TP53 acetylation, and the modified protein is able to establish a new network of protein-protein interactions or trigger some conformational changes affecting the TP53-dependent transcriptional machinery even when its DNA binding ability is impaired.},\n  chemicals       = {CDKN1A protein, human, Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p21, Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors, RNA, Small Interfering, TP53 protein, human, Tumor Suppressor Protein p53, Butyric Acid, Histone Deacetylases},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2015-06-11},\n  country         = {Russia (Federation)},\n  issn-linking    = {0041-3771},\n  issue           = {3},\n  keywords        = {Acetylation; Butyric Acid, pharmacology; Cell Cycle Checkpoints, drug effects; Cell Line, Tumor; Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p21, agonists, genetics, metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Neoplastic; Gene Silencing; Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors, pharmacology; Histone Deacetylases, genetics, metabolism; Humans; Mutation; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Protein Binding; Protein Structure, Tertiary; RNA, Small Interfering, genetics, metabolism; Signal Transduction; Tumor Suppressor Protein p53, antagonists & inhibitors, genetics, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {0417363},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {26021170},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2015-05-29},\n}\n\n

To identify the minimum set of signals required for bypassing, we recapitulated efficient translational bypassing in an in vitro reconstituted translation system from Escherichia coli. We find that the signals, which promote efficient and accurate bypassing, are specified by the gene 60 mRNA sequence. Systematic analysis of the mRNA suggests unexpected contributions of sequences upstream and downstream of the non-coding gap region as well as of the nascent peptide. During bypassing, ribosomes glide forward on the mRNA track in a processive way. Gliding may have a role not only for gp60 synthesis, but also during regular mRNA translation for reading frame selection during initiation or tRNA translocation during elongation.},\n  chemicals       = {RNA, Messenger, RNA, Untranslated, Viral Proteins},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2016-04-26},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1038/ncomms5459},\n  issn-linking    = {2041-1723},\n  keywords        = {Bacteriophage T4, genetics; Base Sequence; Escherichia coli, genetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Protein Biosynthesis; RNA, Messenger, chemistry, genetics; RNA, Untranslated, chemistry; Viral Proteins, genetics},\n  nlm-id          = {101528555},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {ncomms5459},\n  pmid            = {25041899},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2014-07-21},\n}\n\n

During translocation, the tRNAs transiently occupy intermediate positions on both small (30S) and large (50S) ribosomal subunits. How EF-G and GTP hydrolysis control these movements is still unclear. We used fluorescence labels that specifically monitor movements on either 30S or 50S subunits in combination with EF-G mutants and translocation-specific antibiotics to investigate timing and energetics of translocation. We show that EF-G-GTP facilitates synchronous movements of peptidyl-tRNA on the two subunits into an early post-translocation state, which resembles a chimeric state identified by structural studies. EF-G binding without GTP hydrolysis promotes only partial tRNA movement on the 50S subunit. However, rapid 30S translocation and the concomitant completion of 50S translocation require GTP hydrolysis and a functional domain 4 of EF-G. Our results reveal two distinct modes for utilizing the energy of EF-G binding and GTP hydrolysis and suggest that coupling of GTP hydrolysis to translocation is mediated through rearrangements of the 30S subunit.},\n  chemicals       = {Peptide Elongation Factor G, Guanosine Triphosphate, RNA, Transfer},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2014-07-28},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1002/embj.201387465},\n  issn-linking    = {0261-4189},\n  issue           = {9},\n  keywords        = {Escherichia coli, genetics, metabolism; Guanosine Triphosphate, metabolism; Hydrolysis; Kinetics; Movement; Organisms, Genetically Modified; Peptide Elongation Factor G, metabolism; Protein Biosynthesis; RNA Transport; RNA, Transfer, physiology; Ribosome Subunits, Large, Bacterial, metabolism; Ribosome Subunits, Small, Bacterial, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {8208664},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {embj.201387465},\n  pmc             = {PMC4193938},\n  pmid            = {24614227},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-10-21},\n}\n\n

Although in vitro experiments have implicated these tRNA modifications in modulating wobbling capacity and translation efficiency, their exact in vivo biological roles remain largely unexplored. Using a combination of quantitative proteomics and codon-specific translation reporters, we find that translation of a specific gene subset enriched for AAA, CAA, and GAA codons is impaired in the absence of URM1- and ELP-dependent tRNA modifications. Moreover, in vitro experiments using native tRNAs demonstrate that both modifications enhance binding of tK(UUU) to the ribosomal A-site. Taken together, our data suggest that tRNA thiolation and methoxycarbonylmethylation regulate translation of genes with specific codon content.},\n  chemicals       = {Codon, Proteins, RNA, Messenger, RNA, Transfer},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2013-10-17},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1073/pnas.1300781110},\n  issn-linking    = {0027-8424},\n  issue           = {30},\n  keywords        = {Binding Sites; Codon; Protein Biosynthesis; Proteins, genetics; RNA, Messenger, genetics; RNA, Transfer, chemistry, metabolism; Ribosomes, metabolism; SILAC; systems biology; translation regulation},\n  nlm-id          = {7505876},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {1300781110},\n  pmc             = {PMC3725067},\n  pmid            = {23836657},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-10-21},\n}\n\n

While the delivery of BOP-Lys-tRNA(Lys) to the ribosome is limited by its poor binding to elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), the yield of incorporation into peptide is additionally controlled at the step of BOP-Lys-tRNA release from EF-Tu into the ribosome. The unnatural amino acid appears to disrupt the interactions that balance the strength of tRNA binding to EF-Tu-GTP with the velocity of tRNA dissociation from EF-Tu-GDP on the ribosome, which ensure uniform incorporation of standard amino acids. Circumventing this potential quality control checkpoint that specifically prevents incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins may provide a new strategy to increase yields of unnatural polymers.},\n  chemicals       = {4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene, Bacterial Proteins, Boron Compounds, Fluorescent Dyes, Guanosine Triphosphate, RNA, Transfer, Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, Lysine},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2014-06-17},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1021/ja407511q},\n  issn-linking    = {0002-7863},\n  issue           = {45},\n  keywords        = {Bacterial Proteins, chemistry, metabolism; Boron Compounds, chemistry; Escherichia coli, chemistry, metabolism; Fluorescent Dyes, chemistry; Guanosine Triphosphate, metabolism; Kinetics; Lysine, analogs & derivatives; Models, Molecular; Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, metabolism; Ribosomes, metabolism; Thermus thermophilus, chemistry, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {7503056},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {24079513},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2013-11-13},\n}\n\n

As exosomes naturally carry RNA between cells, these particles might be useful in gene cancer therapy to deliver therapeutic short interfering RNA (siRNA) to the target cells. Despite the promise of RNA interference (RNAi) for use in therapy, several technical obstacles must be overcome. Exogenous siRNA is prone to degradation, has a limited ability to cross cell membranes and may induce an immune response. Naturally occurring RNA carriers, such as exosomes, might provide an untapped source of effective delivery strategies. This study demonstrates that exosomes can deliver siRNA to recipient cells in vitro. The different strategies were used to introduce siRNAs into human exosomes of various origins. The delivery of fluorescently labeled siRNA via exosomes to cells was confirmed using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Two different siRNAs against RAD51 and RAD52 were used to transfect into the exosomes for therapeutic delivery into target cells. The exosome-delivered siRNAs were effective at causing post-transcriptional gene silencing in recipient cells. Moreover, the exosome-delivered siRNA against RAD51 was functional and caused the massive reproductive cell death of recipient cancer cells. The results strongly suggest that exosomes effectively delivered the siRNA into the target cells. The therapeutic potential of exosome-mediated siRNA delivery was demonstrated in vitro by the strong knockdown of RAD51, a prospective therapeutic target for cancer cells. The results give an additional evidence of the ability to use human exosomes as vectors in cancer therapy, including RNAi-based gene therapy.},\n  chemicals       = {RAD52 protein, human, RNA, Small Interfering, Rad52 DNA Repair and Recombination Protein, RAD51 protein, human, Rad51 Recombinase},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2014-02-21},\n  country         = {England},\n  doi             = {10.1186/1478-811X-11-88},\n  issn-linking    = {1478-811X},\n  keywords        = {Ascitic Fluid, cytology; Cell Line, Tumor; Exosomes; Gene Transfer Techniques; Humans; RNA, Small Interfering, administration & dosage; Rad51 Recombinase, genetics; Rad52 DNA Repair and Recombination Protein, genetics},\n  nlm-id          = {101170464},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {1478-811X-11-88},\n  pmc             = {PMC3895799},\n  pmid            = {24245560},\n  pubmodel        = {Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {epublish},\n  revised         = {2022-03-10},\n}\n\n

In the A/T state of decoding, the tRNA undergoes a large conformational change that results in a more open, distorted tRNA structure. Here we use a real-time transient fluorescence quenching approach to monitor the timing and the extent of the tRNA distortion upon reading cognate or near-cognate codons. The tRNA is distorted upon codon recognition and remains in that conformation until the tRNA is released from EF-Tu, although the extent of distortion gradually changes upon transition from the pre- to the post-hydrolysis steps of decoding. The timing and extent of the rearrangement is similar on cognate and near-cognate codons, suggesting that the tRNA distortion alone does not provide a specific switch for the preferential activation of GTP hydrolysis on the cognate codon. Thus, although the tRNA plays an active role in signal transmission between the decoding and GTPase centers, other regulators of signaling must be involved.},\n  chemicals       = {Codon, RNA, Fungal, Guanosine Triphosphate, RNA, Transfer, Peptide Elongation Factor Tu},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2011-05-11},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1074/jbc.M110.210021},\n  issn-linking    = {0021-9258},\n  issue           = {10},\n  keywords        = {Cell-Free System, chemistry, metabolism; Codon, chemistry, metabolism; Guanosine Triphosphate, chemistry, metabolism; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Peptide Elongation Factor Tu, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Fungal, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, chemistry, metabolism; Ribosomes, chemistry, metabolism; Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chemistry, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {2985121R},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {S0021-9258(20)53960-4},\n  pmc             = {PMC3048702},\n  pmid            = {21212264},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2021-10-20},\n}\n\n

By using rapid kinetic techniques, we show here that binding of IF2.GTP to the 30S ribosomal subunit precedes and is independent of fMet-tRNA(fMet) binding. The ternary complex formed in solution by IF2.GTP and fMet-tRNA is unstable and dissociates before IF2.GTP and, subsequently, fMet-tRNA(fMet) bind to the 30S subunit. Ribosome-bound IF2 might accelerate the recruitment of fMet-tRNA(fMet) to the 30S initiation complex by providing anchoring interactions or inducing a favourable ribosome conformation.

The structures indicate how tRNA movement is coupled with global and local conformational changes of the ribosome, in particular of the head and body of the small ribosomal subunit, and show that dynamic interactions between tRNAs and ribosomal residues confine the path of the tRNAs through the ribosome.

Translocation is accompanied by the displacement of the tRNAs on the large ribosomal subunit toward the hybrid A/P and P/E states and by a rotational movement (ratchet) of the ribosomal subunits relative to one another. So far, the structure of the ratcheted state has been observed only when translation factors were bound to the ribosome. Using cryo-electron microscopy and classification, we show here that ribosomes can spontaneously adopt a ratcheted conformation with tRNAs in their hybrid states. The peptidyl-tRNA molecule in the A/P state, which is visualized here, is not distorted compared with the A/A state except for slight adjustments of its acceptor end, suggesting that the displacement of the A-site tRNA on the 50S subunit is passive and is induced by the 30S subunit rotation. Simultaneous subunit ratchet and formation of the tRNA hybrid states precede and may promote the subsequent rapid and coordinated tRNA translocation on the 30S subunit catalyzed by elongation factor G.},\n  chemicals       = {Peptide Elongation Factor G, RNA, Transfer, Amino Acyl, tRNA, peptidyl-, RNA, Transfer},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2008-12-22},\n  country         = {United States},\n  doi             = {10.1073/pnas.0809587105},\n  issn-linking    = {0027-8424},\n  issue           = {44},\n  keywords        = {Cryoelectron Microscopy; Models, Molecular; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Peptide Elongation Factor G, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, Amino Acyl, chemistry, metabolism; Ribosomes, chemistry, metabolism},\n  nlm-id          = {7505876},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pii             = {0809587105},\n  pmc             = {PMC2579354},\n  pmid            = {18971332},\n  pubmodel        = {Print-Electronic},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2018-11-13},\n}\n\n

Recoding requires a selenocysteine incorporation sequence (SECIS) downstream of the UGA codon, a specialized translation factor SelB, and the non-canonical Sec-tRNASec, which is formed from Ser-tRNASec by selenocysteine synthase, SelA, using selenophosphate as selenium donor. Here we describe a rapid-kinetics approach to study the mechanism of selenocysteine insertion into proteins on the ribosome. Labeling of SelB, Sec-tRNASec and other components of the translational machinery allows direct observation of the formation or dissociation of complexes by monitoring changes in the fluorescence of single dyes or fluorescence resonance energy transfer between two fluorophores. Furthermore, the structure of SelA was studied by electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM). We report that intact SelA from the thermophilic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica (mthSelA) can be vitrified for cryo-EM using a controlled-environment vitrification system. Two-dimensional image analysis of vitrified mthSelA images shows that SelA can adopt the wide range of orientations required for high-resolution structure determination by cryo-EM. The results indicate that mthSelA forms a homodecamer that has a ring-like structure with five bilobed wings, similar to the structure of the E. coli complex determined previously.},\n  chemicals       = {Bacterial Proteins, RNA, Transfer, Amino Acid-Specific, tRNA, selenocysteine-, Selenocysteine, Transferases, selenium transferase},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2008-01-03},\n  country         = {Germany},\n  doi             = {10.1515/BC.2007.108},\n  issn-linking    = {1431-6730},\n  issue           = {10},\n  keywords        = {Bacterial Proteins, chemistry, isolation & purification, metabolism; Cryoelectron Microscopy; Kinetics; Models, Biological; RNA, Transfer, Amino Acid-Specific, chemistry, metabolism; Selenocysteine, chemistry, metabolism; Thermoanaerobacter, enzymology, metabolism; Transferases, chemistry, metabolism, ultrastructure},\n  nlm-id          = {9700112},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {17937620},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  revised         = {2013-11-21},\n}\n\n

The presence and identity (pyrimidine, purine or modified purine) of this nucleotide has an essential influence on the energy of the stacking interaction on A- and P-sites of the ribosome. There is a significant influence of the 37-modification by itself on the P-site, whereas there is no such one on the A-site of the ribosome. Comparison of binding enthalpies of tRNA interactions on the P- or A-site of the ribosome with the binding enthalpies of the complex of two tRNAs with the complementary anticodones suggests that the ribosome by itself significantly endows in the thermodynamics of codon-anticodon complex formation. It happens by additional ribosomal interactions with the molecule of tRNA or indirectly by the stabilization of codon-anticodon conformation. In addition to the stacking, tRNA binding in the A and P sites is futher stabilized by the interactions involving some magnesium ions. The number of them involved in those interactions strongly depends on the nucleotide identity in the 37-position of tRNA anticodon loop.},\n  chemicals       = {Cations, Divalent, Codon, Nucleotides, RNA, Bacterial, RNA, Transfer, Magnesium},\n  citation-subset = {IM},\n  completed       = {2006-09-29},\n  country         = {Russia (Federation)},\n  issn-linking    = {0026-8984},\n  issue           = {4},\n  keywords        = {Acetylation; Binding Sites; Cations, Divalent, metabolism; Codon; Escherichia coli, genetics, metabolism; Magnesium, metabolism; Models, Molecular; Nucleotides, chemistry; RNA, Bacterial, chemistry, metabolism; RNA, Transfer, chemistry, metabolism; Ribosomes, metabolism; Thermodynamics},\n  nlm-id          = {0105454},\n  owner           = {NLM},\n  pmid            = {16913226},\n  pubmodel        = {Print},\n  pubstate        = {ppublish},\n  references      = {58},\n  revised         = {2020-12-09},\n  season          = {Jul-Aug},\n}\n\n

We find that accounting for water bridge formation in our model is essential to understand the conformational behavior of polypeptides in water.
