- Structural characterization of the regulatory domain of brain carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1.
- Samanta S, Situ AJ, Ulmer TS.Author information Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, 90033.AbstractNeurons contain a mammalian-specific isoform of the enzyme carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1C) that couples malonyl-CoA to ceramide levels thereby contributing to systemic energy homeostasis and feeding behavior. In contrast to CPT1A, which controls the rate-limiting step of long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation in all tissues, the biochemical context and regulatory mechanism of CPT1C are unknown. CPT1 enzymes are comprised of an N-terminal regulatory domain and a C-terminal catalytic domain (CD) that are separated by two transmembrane helices. In CPT1A, the regulatory domain, termed N, adopts an inhibitory and non-inhibitory state, Nα and Nβ, respectively, which differ in their association with the CD. To provide insight into the regulatory mechanism of CPT1C, we have determined the structure of its regulatory domain (residues Met1-Phe50) by NMR spectroscopy. In relation to CPT1A, the inhibitory Nα state was found to be structurally homologues whereas the non-inhibitory Nβ state was severely destabilized, suggesting a change in overall regulation. The destabilization of Nβ may contribute to the low catalytic activity of CPT1C relative to CPT1A and makes its association with the CD unlikely. In analogy to the stabilization of Nβ by the CPT1A CD, non-inhibitory interactions of N of CPT1C with another protein may exist. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 101: 398-405, 2014.

- Diminution of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride toxicity on Listeria monocytogenes growth by iron source addition to the culture medium.
- Junillon T, Flandrois JP.Author information Université de Lyon 1, F-69000 Lyon, CNRS, UMR5558, Laboratoire de Biométrie et Biologie Evolutive, F-69622 Villeurbanne, France; bioMerieux SA département Microbiologie industrielle, Chemin de l'Orme 69280 Marcy l'Etoile, France. Electronic address: junillon.thomas@hotmail.fr.AbstractTetrazolium salts (TTZ) such as 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) are readily reduced by bacterial populations of various genus. The reduced form of these redox indicators is conspicuously colored allowing a quick and easy detection of growth. The studies are mainly confined to Gram negative bacteria because of an important toxic effect of tetrazolium salts on Gram positive bacteria. Indeed, we observed an important impact of different tetrazolium salts on Listeria monocytogenes growth, curiously limited to an increase in the duration of the lag phase. In this study, we demonstrate that increasing the iron concentration in a medium containing TTC leads to a significant decrease of the lag phase. L. monocytogenes growth was kinetically measured and growth parameters were estimated using the Baranyi model. While lag phase diminution was found to be iron concentration dependent, growth rate was not affected. Addition of iron enables growth of some strains totally inhibited by a 0.4 g/l of TTC and for the other a significant reduction of the latency is observed. The nature of the mechanism resulting in a decrease of the observed lag phase remains unclear. Then, the use of iron supplementation may be proposed to overcome the inhibitory effect of TTC on L. monocytogenes.

- Requirement of miR-144 in CsA Induced Proliferation and Invasion of Human Trophoblast Cells by Targeting Titin.
- Liang Y, Lin Q, Luo F, Wu W, Yang T, Wan S.Author information National Engineering Laboratory for Rice and By-Product Deep Processing, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Hunan Province, 410004, People's Republic of China.AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous 19-25 nucleotide noncoding single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression by blocking the translation or decreasing the stability of mRNAs. In this study, with the treatment of CsA (Cyclosporin A), we showed that miR144 expression levels were decreased while titin mRNA expression levels were increased in human trophoblast (HT) cells, and identified titin as a novel direct target of miR-144. Overexpression of miR-144 suppressed titin and its downstream signaling molecule such as p-ERK1/2 and MMP2/9 expression, and attenuated cell proliferation and invasion. Forced expression of titin can partly rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-144 in the cells. Taken together, these findings will shed light to the role and mechanism of miR-144 in regulating HT cells proliferation and invasion via miR-144/titin axis, and miR-144 may serve as a potential therapeutic target in HT in the future.
