New Cu (I) complexes as catalyst for "click" reaction: An experimental and computational study

In this work, two novel well-defined Cu (I) complexes of a Schiff base ligand are described. For this purpose, N, N '-bis (trans-cinnamaldehyde) ethylenediimine [C20H20N2] (L) and Cu (I) complex of the type [CuC20H20N2)PPh3Cl] (C1) and [Cu(C20H20N2)PPh3Br] ...

A mitochondria-specific mutational signature of aging: increased rate of A > G substitutions on the heavy strand

Jacques Fellay, Konstantin Popadin, Dmitrii Iliushchenko, Stepan Denisov

The mutational spectrum of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) does not resemble any of the known mutational signatures of the nuclear genome and variation in mtDNA mutational spectra between different organisms is still incomprehensible. Since mitochondria are ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum and Lysosomal Quality Control of Four Nonsense Mutants of Iduronate 2-Sulfatase Linked to Hunter's Syndrome

Maurizio Molinari, Andrea Cavalli

Hunter's syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. Motivated by the case of a child affected by this syndrome, we compared the intracellular fate of w ...

The fitness landscape of the codon space across environments

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski

Fitness landscapes map the relationship between genotypes and fitness. However, most fitness landscape studies ignore the genetic architecture imposed by the codon table and thereby neglect the potential role of synonymous mutations. To quantify the fitnes ...

Distribution of the ribosome associated endonuclease Rae1 and the potential role of conserved amino acids in codon recognition

Jérémie Piton

We recently identified a novel ribonuclease in Bacillus subtilis called Rae1 that cleaves mRNAs in a translation-dependent manner. Rae1 is a member of the NYN/PIN family of ribonucleases and is highly conserved in the Firmicutes, the Cyanobacteria and the ...

Rae1/YacP, a new endoribonuclease involved in ribosome-dependent mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis

Jérémie Piton

The PIN domain plays a central role in cellular RNA biology and is involved in processes as diverse as rRNA maturation, mRNA decay and telomerase function. Here, we solve the crystal structure of the Rae1 (YacP) protein of Bacillus subtilis, a founding mem ...

EspC forms a filamentous structure in the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and impacts ESX-1 secretion

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Jan Lars Rybniker, Ye Lou

Pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) is mediated by the ESX-1 secretion system, which exports EsxA and EsxB, the major virulence factors that are co-secreted with EspA and EspC. Functional information about ESX-1 components is scarce. Here, ...

Olfactory receptor pseudo-pseudogenes

Matteo Dal Peraro, Benoîte Bargeton

Pseudogenes are generally considered to be non-functional DNA sequences that arise through nonsense or frame-shift mutations of protein-coding genes(1). Although certain pseudogene-derived RNAs have regulatory roles(2), and some pseudogene fragments are tr ...

Role of APOBEC3F Gene Variation in HIV-1 Disease Progression and Pneumocystis Pneumonia

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Istvan Bartha

Human APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases are intrinsic resistance factors to HIV-1. However, HIV-1 encodes a viral infectivity factor (Vif) that degrades APOBEC3 proteins. In vitro APO-BEC3F (A3F) anti-HIV-1 activity is weaker than A3G but is partially resistant ...

A General Strategy for the Semisynthesis of Ratiometric Fluorescent Sensor Proteins with Increased Dynamic Range

Kai Johnsson, Lin Xue, Efthymia Prifti

We demonstrate how a combination of self-labeling protein tags and unnatural amino acid technology permits the semisynthesis of ratiometric fluorescent sensor proteins with unprecedented dynamic range in vitro and on live cells. To generate such a sensor, ...
