Following the signal sequence from ribosomal tunnel exit to signal recognition particle

Membrane and secretory proteins can be co-translationally inserted into or translocated across the membrane. This process is dependent on signal sequence recognition on the ribosome by the signal recognition particle (SRP), which results in targeting of the ribosome-nascent-chain complex to the protein-conducting channel at the membrane. Here we present an ensemble of structures at subnanometre resolution, revealing the signal sequence both at the ribosomal tunnel exit and in the bacterial and eukaryotic ribosome-SRP complexes. Molecular details of signal sequence interaction in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic complexes were obtained by fitting high-resolution molecular models. The signal sequence is presented at the ribosomal tunnel exit in an exposed position ready for accommodation in the hydrophobic groove of the rearranged SRP54 M domain. Upon ribosome binding, the SRP54 NG domain also undergoes a conformational rearrangement, priming it for the subsequent docking reaction with the NG domain of the SRP receptor. These findings provide the structural basis for improving our understanding of the early steps of co-translational protein sorting.

The effect of o,p′-DDD on the adrenal cortex in sheep

Summary The effect of o,p-DDD (200 mg/kg/day given p.o. for 100 consecutive days) on the sheep adrenal gland was studied. The results suggest that this ruminant species is highly resistant to the adrenocorticolytic activity of o,p-DDD when compared with dogs.This work was supported by a grant of Bristol Laboratories, Syracuse, New York 13201, USA.     

Reconstruction of an enzyme by domain substitution effectively switches substrate specificity

The polar domains of the two transcarbamoylases, aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) and ornithine transcarbamoylase, (OTCase) from Escherichia coli bind the common substrate carbamoyl phosphate and share extensive amino-acid sequence homology. The equatorial domains of the two enzymes differ in their substrate specificity (ATCase binds aspartate, OTCase binds ornithine) and have decreased sequence identity. While addressing the conservation of specific protein interactions during the evolution of these enzymes, we were able to switch one of their amino-acid-specific equatorial domains to produce a viable chimaeric enzyme. This was achieved by the in vitro fusion of DNA encoding the polar domain of OTCase to DNA encoding the equatorial domain of ATCase. The resulting gene fusion successfully transformed an argI-pyrB deletion strain of E. coli to pyrimidine prototrophy, giving rise to Pyr+ transformants that expressed ATCase but not OTCase activity. The formation of this active chimaeric enzyme shows that by exchanging protein domains between two functionally divergent enzymes we have achieved a switching in substrate specificity.

The gene defective in leukocyte adhesion deficiency II encodes a putative GDP-fucose transporter

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency II (LAD II) is characterized by the lack of fucosylated glycoconjugates, including selectin ligands, causing immunodeficiency and severe mental and growth retardation. No deficiency in fucosyltransferase activities or in the activities of enzymes involved in GDP-fucose biosynthesis has been found. Instead, the transport of GDP-fucose into isolated Golgi vesicles of LAD II cells appeared to be reduced. To identify the gene mutated in LAD II, we cloned 12 cDNAs from Caenorhabditis elegans, encoding multi-spanning transmembrane proteins with homology to known nucleotide sugar transporters, and transfected them into fibroblasts from an LAD II patient. One of these clones re-established expression of fucosylated glycoconjugates with high efficiency and allowed us to identify a human homolog with 55% identity, which also directed re-expression of fucosylated glycoconjugates. Both proteins were localized to the Golgi. The corresponding endogenous protein in LAD II cells had an R147C amino acid change in the conserved fourth transmembrane region. Overexpression of this mutant protein in cells from a patient with LAD II did not rescue fucosylation, demonstrating that the point mutation affected the activity of the protein. Thus, we have identified the first putative GDP-fucose transporter, which has been highly conserved throughout evolution. A point mutation in its gene is responsible for the disease in this patient with LAD II.     

Expression of Pseudomonas phosphotriesterase activity in the fall armyworm confers resistance to insecticides

The gene encoding for the phosphotriesterase (opd) from Pseudomonas diminuta has been subcloned into a baculovirus expression system. Functional enzyme is produced when the recombinant baculovirus is used to infect either cultured Spodoptera frugiperda sf9 cells or the larval stage of the fall armyworm. The LD50 for paraoxon toxicity was found to increase 280-fold in the larvae after infection with the recombinant baculovirus and expression of the functional phosphotriesterase.
