[Abstract]  A mitochondrion is a dynamic intracellular organelle that actively divides and fuses to control its size, number and shape in cells. A regulated balance between mitochondrial division and fusion is fundamental to the function, distribution and turnover of mitochondria (Roy et al., 2015). Mitochondrial division is mediated by dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a mechano-chemical GTPase that constricts mitochondrial membranes (Tamura et al., 2011). Mitochondrial membrane lipids such as phosphatidic acid and cardiolipin bind Drp1, and Drp1-phospholipid interactions provide key regulatory mechanisms for mitochondrial division (Montessuit et al., 2010; Bustillo-Zabalbeitia et al., 2014; Macdonald et al., 2014; Stepanyants et al., 2015; ... [摘要]  线粒体是一种动态的细胞内细胞器,主动分裂和融合以控制细胞的大小,数量和形状。线粒体分裂和融合之间的调节平衡是线粒体功能,分布和周转的基础(Roy等,2015)。线粒体分化是由动力蛋白相关蛋白1(Drp1)介导的,其是限制线粒体膜的机械化学GTP酶(Tamura等人,2011)。线粒体膜脂质如磷脂酸和心磷脂结合Drp1,并且Drp1磷脂相互作用提供线粒体分裂的关键调控机制(Montessuit等人,2010; Bustillo-Zabalbeitia等人2014年; Macdonald等人,2014年; Stepanyants等人,2015; Adachi等人,2016)。在这里,我们描述了使用纯化的重组Drp1和具有定义的一组磷脂的合成脂质体定量测量Drp1与脂质的相互作用的生物化学实验。该测定使得可以定义蛋白质 - 脂质相互作用的特异性以及头基和酰基链的作用。

背景 蛋白质和膜脂质的相互作用对于细胞如细胞器分裂中生物膜的重塑至关重要。在线粒体分裂中,Drp1限制线粒体膜并驱动该膜重塑过程。我们最近显示,信号磷脂,磷脂酸与Drp1相互作用,并通过限制线粒体上的组装分裂机制(Adachi等人,2016)产生启动步骤。 Drp1识别磷脂酸的头基和酰基链。为了分析Drp1-磷脂酸结合,我们建立了几种蛋白质 - ...

[Abstract]  Telomerase is a large ribonucleoprotein complex that replicates the linear chromosome ends in most eukaryotes. Large-scale preparation of the telomerase core components in vitro has long been a big challenge in this field, hindering the understanding of the catalytic mechanism of telomerase, as well as slowing down the development of telomerase inhibitors for cancer therapy. We have successfully developed a protocol for large-scale preparation of the TRBD-CR4/5 complex of the medaka telomerase in vitro, and used this method to study the high-resolution structure of the TRBD-CR4/5 complex by X-ray crystallography. This procedure may be also adapted to purify other protein-RNA complexes for structural studies. [摘要]  端粒酶是在大多数真核生物中复制线性染色体末端的大核糖核蛋白复合物。 体外大规模制备端粒酶核心组分长期以来一直是该领域的一个大挑战,阻碍了对端粒酶的催化机理的理解,以及减慢端粒酶抑制剂对癌症的发展 治疗。 我们成功地开发了用于大规模制备体外的medaka端粒酶的TRBD-CR4/5复合物的方案,并且使用该方法研究TRBD-CR4/5复合物的高分辨率结构, 5复合物通过X射线晶体学。 该程序也可以适于纯化其它蛋白质-RNA复合物用于结构研究。
