Plasma thyroxine levels in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Summary Some young Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients (3–7 years) had total thyroxine (T₄) levels and T₄ to thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) ratios above the normal range and significantly increased free thyroxine indices (fT₄I) which, however, remained within the normal range. Older DMD patients (7–11 years) had T₄ and TBG levels and fT₄I similar to normal. In both DMD groups the thyroxine binding index (TBI) values were in the normal range.

Lipid transfer in plants

Summary Plant cells contain cytosolic proteins, called lipid transfer proteins (LTP), which are able to facilitate in vitro intermembrane transfer of phospholipids. Proteins of this kind from three plants, purified to homogeneity, have several properties in common: molecular mass around 9 kDa, high isoelectric point, lack of specificity for phospholipids, and binding ability for fatty acids. The comparison of their amino acid sequences revealed striking homologies and conserved domains which are probably involved in their function as LTPs. These proteins could play a major role in membrane biogenesis by conveying phospholipids from their site of biosynthesis to membranes unable to form these lipids. Immunochemical methods were used to establish an in vivo correlation between membrane biogenesis and the level of LTP or the amount of LTP synthesized in vitro from mRNAs. The recent isolation of a full-length cDNA allows novel approaches to studying the participation of LTPs in the biogenesis of plant cell membranes.

Simulation investigations in the binding energy and mechanical properties of HMX-based polymer-bonded explosives

The molecular simulations of the well-known high explosive [β-HMX (cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine) and its fluorine containing polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) were carried out with the combination method of quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics. The atomic cluster model, containing the [β-HMX molecule and the polymer molecule whose chain dimension was about the same as β-HMX‘s, was fully optimized by AM1 and PM3 semi-empirical molecular orbital and molecular mechanical methods using COMPASS and PCFF force field. Then the calculated binding energy is found to be linearly correlated to each other. Molecular dynamics simulations using COMPASS force field were performed for [~-HMX crystal and the PBXs involving [β-HMX and a series of fluorine containing polymers. Their elastic coefficients, moduli and Poisson‘s ratios were calculated. It is found that the mechanical properties of β-HMX can be effectively improved by blending with fluorine containing polymers in small amounts.     

Heparan sulfate-protein interactions: therapeutic potential through structure-function insights

Heparin and the related glycosaminoglycan, heparan sulfate, bind a myriad of proteins. The structural diversity of heparin and heparan sulfates is enormous, but differences in the conformational flexibility of the monosaccharide constituents add extra complexity and may influence protein binding. Silencing genes for heparin/ heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes profoundly affects mammalian development. Thus, altering the structure of heparan sulfate chains can alter protein binding and embryo development. Different heparan sulfate structures are located in particular tissue sites, and these structures are recognised by different sets of proteins. Regulation of certain heparan sulfate-protein interactions by pH or cations is described. Heparin/heparan sulfate structures are viewed as potential therapeutics for a variety of diseases. An understanding at the molecular and functional levels of the specificity and affinity of heparan sulfate-protein interactions is crucial for designing heparin-inspired drugs. How the development of synthesis techniques is facilitating structure-function analyses and drug development is discussed.Received 6 July 2004; received after revision 16 September 2004; accepted 28 September 2004     

Lipopolysaccharide-binding molecules: transporters, blockers and sensors

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, can be beneficial to the host by activating the innate immune system, or harmful, by inducing inflammation, disseminated intravascular coagulation, multiple organ failure, shock and often death. On the bacteria, and in host biological fluids and cells, LPS is never free but constantly attached to cognate-binding proteins. Understanding how LPS is transported and further recognized by sensors able to deliver a signal, or by inactivating molecules able to neutralize its biological effects, is an important goal. This review describes the large panel of peptides and proteins reported to associate with LPS, and provides information on their origin, their structure and the location of amino acid residues involved in their interaction with LPS. A better understanding of the mode of recognition of LPS by cognate proteins prompted many laboratories to design on a rational basis synthetic molecules which can be used to detect low amounts of endotoxin, or to act as efficient blockers of in vitro and in vivo responses to LPS.Received 15 January 2004; received after revision 20 February 2004; accepted 25 February 2004     

v-Fos transformation effector binds with CD2 cytoplasmic tail

The CD2 molecule, an adhesive and co-stimulating molecule, expresses virtually on all T lymphocytes, thymocytes, as well as natural killer cells, playing an important role in thymus development, T cell activation and apoptosis[1―3]. CD2 molecule consists of an ex- tracellular region with two Ig-like domains, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a positively charged proline-rich cytoplasmic tail, which is highly conserved between different species[1,4―7]. The functions of CD2 in signal t…
