Structural basis of Dscam isoform specificity

The Dscam gene gives rise to thousands of diverse cell surface receptors thought to provide homophilic and heterophilic recognition specificity for neuronal wiring and immune responses. Mutually exclusive splicing allows for the generation of sequence variability in three immunoglobulin ecto-domains, D2, D3 and D7. We report X-ray structures of the amino-terminal four immunoglobulin domains (D1-D4) of two distinct Dscam isoforms. The structures reveal a horseshoe configuration, with variable residues of D2 and D3 constituting two independent surface epitopes on either side of the receptor. Both isoforms engage in homo-dimerization coupling variable domain D2 with D2, and D3 with D3. These interactions involve symmetric, antiparallel pairing of identical peptide segments from epitope I that are unique to each isoform. Structure-guided mutagenesis and swapping of peptide segments confirm that epitope I, but not epitope II, confers homophilic binding specificity of full-length Dscam receptors. Phylogenetic analysis shows strong selection of matching peptide sequences only for epitope I. We propose that peptide complementarity of variable residues in epitope I of Dscam is essential for homophilic binding specificity.

Genomic cloning and sequencing of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in spinach

A genomic library derived from leaves of spinach was constructed with the λGem11_BamHI Arms as the vector. The library was screened using the BADH cDNA of mountain spinach as a probe and six positive clones were obtained through three rounds of screening. One of the positive clones named D, which was hybridized with the 5′600 bp fragment of mountain spinach BADH cDNA, was selected and further analyzed. The size of the insert in clone D was about 12 kb. 8 856 nucleotides of the insert were sequenced which contained 2 459 nucleotides of 5′ noncoding region, 6 111 nucleotides of the complete sequence of the BADH gene, and 286 nucleotides of a 3′ noncoding region. The result of sequence analysis indicated that the BADH gene contained 14 introns and the junction sequences at splicing sites followed the GT_AG rule basically.

从七肽噬菌体展示库中筛选蛋白质配基

为了研究噬菌体展示技术的应用，以溶菌酶为靶分子从七肽噬菌体展示库中筛选蛋白质的高亲和力噬菌体配体，所筛选的亲和力最高的噬菌体的ELISA检测值A405nm可达0．634．通过比较亲和性噬菌体外源插入肽的DNA序列，认为基元HWWW是肽段与酶分子发生亲和的必需序列．此外，由于靶分子和高亲和性展示肽的等电点分别为11．2和6．74，因此在亲和环境中携带异种电荷，利于亲和吸附的发生，而此时低亲和性展示肽与靶分子携带同种电荷，阻碍了亲和吸附．同时，高亲和性肽段HWWPAS和与其有较高同源性的肽段HWTWWNL都有适中的疏水性，这有利于肽与靶分子表面的疏水位点相互作用从而产生亲和吸附．     

Molecular cloning of a full-length cDNA for ECBP21 from Angelica dahurica

ECBP21 is an extracellular calmodulin-binding protein which was first detected and purified from extracellular extracts of suspension-cultured cells of Angelica dahurica. The purified protein was electroblotted onto PVDF membrane and the amino acid sequences from 1 to 20 were determined. Using degenerate oligonucleotides of the sequence, a full-length cDNA coding for ECBP21 was isolated by a combination of RT-PCR and 5′-RACE cloning. The cDNA contains 947 nucleotides and codes for a precursor protein of 216 amino acids. The N-terminal 1-25 amino acid sequence is a predicted signal peptide and the other 26-216 amino acid sequence is a mature peptide. The 26-45 amino acid sequence shows identity with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified ECBP21 from Angelica dahurica. The fragment of encoding the mature protein was cloned into pET-28b(+) and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). A protein with relative molecular mass 21 ku was expressed in E. coli. Using a biotinylated-CaM gel overlay technique, the expression protein was tested for its ability to bind CaM. The results indicated that the expression protein is a Ca2+- dependent CaM-binding protein. Thus, these results further defined the cDNA clone for ECBP21. This work laid a foundation for elucidating biological functions of ECBP21 by using molecular biological means.     

Use of suppression subtractive hybridization strategy for cloning and identifying specifically expressed genes of renal cell carcinoma

Using suppression subtractive hybridization, a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cDNA subtractive library which only contains differently expressed cDNAs between human RCC and normal kidney has been constructed. 200 clones were picked out randomly to perform enzyme digest analysis, a part of them underwent sequence analysis and Northern blot to identify RCC specially expressed genes. Results showed that 190 clones contain 50—400 bp inserts respectively. Sequence analysis was performed in 10 clones. All the 10 sequences were unknown before and derived from 6 unique novel genes among which the cDNA insert RCC18 has five copies. Northern blot analysis showed that RCC18 cDNA expressed highly in RCC, but there was no signal detected in normal kidney, and the full length of RCC18 was about 2.5 kb. The constructed cDNA subtractive library of human RCC is a highly efficient one and lays the solid foundation for large-scale screening and cloning new and specific oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes of RCC. The novel specially expressed genes provided an important clue for researching the mechanism of the occurrence and development of RCC.
