  1. In silico identification and characterization of potential druggable targets among hypothetical proteins of Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni: a comprehensive bioinformatics approach
    Siddiqui Q, Ali MSM, Leow ATC, Oslan SN, Mohd Shariff F
    J Biomol Struct Dyn, 2023 Dec;41(20):10347-10367.

    Leptospirosis is one of the neglected zoonosis, affecting human and animal populations worldwide. Reliable effective therapeutics and concerns to look for more research into the molecular analysis of its genome is therefore needed. In the genomic pool of the Leptospira interrogans many hypothetical proteins are still uncharacterized. In the current research, we performed extensive in silico analysis to prioritize the potential hypothetical proteins of L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni via stepwise reducing the available hypothetical proteins (Total 3606) of the assembly to only 15, based on non-homologous to homosapien, essential, functional, virulent, cellular localization. Out of them, only two proteins WP_000898918.1 (Hypothetical Protein 1) & WP_001014594.1 (Hypothetical Protein 2) were found druggable and involved in protein-protein interaction network. The 3 D structures of these two target proteins were predicted via ab initio homology modeling followed by structures refinement and validation, as no structures were available till date. The analysis also revealed that the functional domains, families and protein-protein interacting partners identified in both proteins are crucial for the survival of the bacteria. The binding cavities were predicted for both the proteins through blind and specific protein-ligand docking with their respective ligands and inhibitors and were found to be in accordance with the druggable sites predicted by DoGSiteScorer. The docking interactions were found within the active functional domains for both the proteins while for Hypothetical Protein 2, the same residues were involved in interactions with Cytidine-5'-triphosphate in blind and specific docking. Furthermore, the simulations of molecular dynamics and free binding energy revealed the stable substrate binding and efficient binding energies, and were in accordance to our docking results. The work predicted two unique hypothetical proteins of L. interrogans as a potential druggable targets for designing of inhibitors for them.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Liang JS, Hung KL, Lin LJ, Ong WP, Keng WT, Lu JF
    Epilepsy Behav, 2023 Aug;145:109266.
    PMID: 37385119 DOI: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109266
    Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSD) are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by defects in peroxisome biogenesis factor (PEX; peroxin) genes leading to impaired transport of peroxisomal proteins with peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS). Four patients, including a pair of homozygotic twins, diagnosed as ZSD by genetic study with different clinical presentations and outcomes as well as various novel mutations are described here. A total of 3 novel mutations, including a nonsense, a frameshift, and a splicing mutation, in PEX1 from ZSD patients were identified and unequivocally confirmed that the p.Ile989Thr mutant PEX1 exhibited temperature-sensitive characteristics and is associated with milder ZSD. The nature of the p.Ile989Thr mutant exhibited different characteristics from that of the other previously identified temperature-sensitive p.Gly843Asp PEX1 mutant. Transcriptome profiles under nonpermissive vs. permissive conditions were explored to facilitate the understanding of p.Ile989Thr mutant PEX1. Further investigation of molecular mechanisms may help to clarify potential genetic causes that could modify the clinical presentation of ZSD.

  3. Fulltext Comprehensive analysis of co-expressed genes with TDP-43: prognostic and therapeutic potential in lung adenocarcinoma
    Zhang H, Lin J, Yahaya BH
    J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2024 Jan 28;150(2):44.
    PMID: 38281298 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-023-05554-9
    BACKGROUND: Transactivating DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is intimately associated with tumorigenesis and progression by regulating mRNA splicing, transport, stability, and non-coding RNA molecules. The exact role of TDP-43 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not yet been fully elucidated, despite extensive research on its function in various cancer types. An imperative aspect of comprehending the underlying biological characteristics associated with TDP-43 involves investigating the genes that are co-expressed with this protein. This study assesses the prognostic significance of these co-expressed genes in LUAD and subsequently explores potential therapeutic strategies based on these findings.

    METHODS: Transcriptomic and clinical data pertaining to LUAD were retrieved from open-access databases to establish an association between mRNA expression profiles and the presence of TDP-43. A risk-prognosis model was developed to compare patient survival rates across various groups, and its accuracy was also assessed. Additionally, differences in tumor stemness, mutational profiles, tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics, immune checkpoints, and immune cell infiltration were analyzed in the different groups. Moreover, the study entailed predicting the potential response to immunotherapy as well as the sensitivity to commonly employed chemotherapeutic agents and targeted drugs for each distinct group.

    RESULTS: The TDP-43 Co-expressed Gene Risk Score (TCGRS) model was constructed utilizing four genes: Kinesin Family Member 20A (KIF20A), WD Repeat Domain 4 (WDR4), Proline Rich 11 (PRR11), and Glia Maturation Factor Gamma (GMFG). The value of this model in predicting LUAD patient survival is effectively illustrated by both the Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that the high TCGRS group was primarily enriched in biological pathways and functions linked to DNA replication and cell cycle; the low TCGRS group showed primary enrichment in immune-related pathways and functions. The high and low TCGRS groups showed differences in tumor stemness, mutational burden, TME, immune infiltration level, and immune checkpoints. The predictions analysis of immunotherapy indicates that the Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) score (p

  4. Fulltext Ion-Pair Interaction and Hydrogen Bonds as Main Features of Protein Thermostability in Mutated T1 Recombinant Lipase Originating from Geobacillus zalihae
    Ishak SNH, Kamarudin NHA, Ali MSM, Leow ATC, Rahman RNZRA
    Molecules, 2020 Jul 28;25(15).
    PMID: 32731607 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25153430
    A comparative structure analysis between space- and an Earth-grown T1 recombinant lipase from Geobacillus zalihae had shown changes in the formation of hydrogen bonds and ion-pair interactions. Using the space-grown T1 lipase validated structure having incorporated said interactions, the recombinant T1 lipase was re-engineered to determine the changes brought by these interactions to the structure and stability of lipase. To understand the effects of mutation on T1 recombinant lipase, five mutants were developed from the structure of space-grown T1 lipase and biochemically characterized. The results demonstrate an increase in melting temperature up to 77.4 °C and 76.0 °C in E226D and D43E, respectively. Moreover, the mutated lipases D43E and E226D had additional hydrogen bonds and ion-pair interactions in their structures due to the improvement of stability, as observed in a longer half-life and an increased melting temperature. The biophysical study revealed differences in β-Sheet percentage between less stable (T118N) and other mutants. As a conclusion, the comparative analysis of the tertiary structure and specific residues associated with ion-pair interactions and hydrogen bonds could be significant in revealing the thermostability of an enzyme with industrial importance.

  5. Characterisation and molecular dynamic simulations of J15 asparaginase from Photobacterium sp. strain J15
    Yaacob MA, Hasan WA, Ali MS, Rahman RN, Salleh AB, Basri M, et al.
    Acta Biochim. Pol., 2014;61(4):745-52.
    PMID: 25337608
    Genome mining revealed a 1011 nucleotide-long fragment encoding a type I L-asparaginase (J15 asparaginase) from the halo-tolerant Photobacterium sp. strain J15. The gene was overexpressed in pET-32b (+) vector in E. coli strain Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLysS and purified using two-step chromatographic methods: Ni(2+)-Sepharose affinity chromatography and Q-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography. The final specific activity and yield of the enzyme achieved from these steps were 20 U/mg and 49.2%, respectively. The functional dimeric form of J15-asparaginase was characterised with a molecular weight of ~70 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH were 25°C and pH 7.0, respectively. This protein was stable in the presence of 1 mM Ni(2+) and Mg(2+), but it was inhibited by Mn(2+), Fe(3+) and Zn(2+) at the same concentration. J15 asparaginase actively hydrolysed its native substrate, l-asparagine, but had low activity towards l-glutamine. The melting temperature of J15 asparaginase was ~51°C, which was determined using denatured protein analysis of CD spectra. The Km, Kcat, Kcat/Km of J15 asparaginase were 0.76 mM, 3.2 s(-1), and 4.21 s(-1) mM(-1), respectively. Conformational changes of the J15 asparaginase 3D structure at different temperatures (25°C, 45°C, and 65°C) were analysed using Molecular Dynamic simulations. From the analysis, residues Tyr₂₄ , His₂₂, Gly₂₃, Val₂₅ and Pro₂₆ may be directly involved in the 'open' and 'closed' lid-loop conformation, facilitating the conversion of substrates during enzymatic reactions. The properties of J15 asparaginase, which can work at physiological pH and has low glutaminase activity, suggest that this could be a good candidate for reducing toxic effects during cancer treatment.

  7. Fulltext Characterisation of Drosophila Ubx CPTI000601 and hth CPTI000378 protein trap lines
    Choo SW, Beh CY, Russell S, White R
    ScientificWorldJournal, 2014;2014:191535.
    PMID: 25389534 DOI: 10.1155/2014/191535
    In Drosophila, protein trap strategies provide powerful approaches for the generation of tagged proteins expressed under endogenous control. Here, we describe expression and functional analysis to evaluate new Ubx and hth protein trap lines generated by the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Both protein traps exhibit spatial and temporal expression patterns consistent with the reported endogenous pattern in the embryo. In imaginal discs, Ubx-YFP is expressed throughout the haltere and 3rd leg imaginal discs, while Hth-YFP is expressed in the proximal regions of haltere and wing discs but not in the pouch region. The Ubx (CPTI000601) line is semilethal as a homozygote. No T3/A1 to T2 transformations were observed in the embryonic cuticle or the developing midgut. The homozygous survivors, however, exhibit a weak haltere phenotype with a few wing-like marginal bristles on the haltere capitellum. Although hth (CPTI000378) is completely lethal as a homozygote, the hth (CPTI000378) /hth (C1) genotype is viable. Using a hth deletion (Df(3R)BSC479) we show that hth (CPTI000378) /Df(3R)BSC479 adults are phenotypically normal. No transformations were observed in hth (CPTI000378), hth (CPTI000378) /hth (C1), or hth (CPTI000378) /Df(3R)BSC479 embryonic cuticles. We have successfully characterised the Ubx-YFP and Hth-YFP protein trap lines demonstrating that the tagged proteins show appropriate expression patterns and produce at least partially functional proteins.

    PMID: 22260124 DOI: 10.1111/j.1750-3841.2011.02514.x
    Usage of gelatin in food products has been widely debated for several years, which is about the source of gelatin that has been used, religion, and health. As an impact, various analytical methods have been introduced and developed to differentiate gelatin whether it is made from porcine or bovine sources. The analytical methods comprise a diverse range of equipment and techniques including spectroscopy, chemical precipitation, chromatography, and immunochemical. Each technique can differentiate gelatins for certain extent with advantages and limitations. This review is focused on overview of the analytical methods available for differentiation of bovine and porcine gelatin and gelatin in food products so that new method development can be established.

    PMID: 20954562 MyJurnal
    We report on an 11 year-old boy with dyskeratosis congenita who presented with dystrophic nails, dysphagia, hyperpigmentation and oral leukoplakia. He had a brother who died 14 years earlier with similar presenting symptoms and aplastic anaemia. Genetic studies of our patient demonstrated the presence of a DKC1 mutation and confirmed our diagnosis. Further genetic screening revealed that his mother and one of his four sisters are heterozygous for the same mutation.

  11. Identification of phosphoprotein:phosphoprotein and phosphoprotein:nucleocapsid protein interaction domains of the Newcastle disease virus
    Jahanshiri F, Eshaghi M, Yusoff K
    Arch Virol, 2005 Mar;150(3):611-8.
    PMID: 15592890
    The yeast two-hybrid system has been used to identify domains of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) phosphoprotein (P) involved in self-association and interaction with the nucleocapsid protein (NP). Deletion analysis was used to map the domain(s) of the P protein involved in P:P and P:NP interactions. The C-terminal 45 amino acids (residues 247-291) were shown to play a major role in both of the interactions. Comparison of these findings with other reports suggests that paramyxoviruses are different with respect to interaction domain(s) between these two essential viral proteins involved in genome replication.

  12. Fulltext Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Three Bactrocera Fruit Flies of Subgenus Bactrocera (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Their Phylogenetic Implications
    Yong HS, Song SL, Lim PE, Eamsobhana P, Suana IW
    PLoS One, 2016;11(2):e0148201.
    PMID: 26840430 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0148201
    Bactrocera latifrons is a serious pest of solanaceous fruits and Bactrocera umbrosa is a pest of Artocarpus fruits, while Bactrocera melastomatos infests the fruit of Melastomataceae. They are members of the subgenus Bactrocera. We report here the complete mitochondrial genome of these fruit flies determined by next-generation sequencing and their phylogeny with other taxa of the subgenus Bactrocera. The whole mitogenomes of these three species possessed 37 genes namely, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA and 22 tRNA genes. The mitogenome of B. latifrons (15,977 bp) was longer than those of B. melastomatos (15,954 bp) and B. umbrosa (15,898 bp). This difference can be attributed to the size of the intergenic spacers (283 bp in B. latifrons, 261 bp in B. melastomatos, and 211 bp in B. umbrosa). Most of the PCGs in the three species have an identical start codon, except for atp8 (adenosine triphosphate synthase protein 8), which had an ATG instead of GTG in B. umbrosa, whilst the nad3 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3) and nad6 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6) genes were characterized by an ATC instead of ATT in B. melastomatos. The three species had identical stop codon for the respective PCGs. In B. latifrons and B. melastomatos, the TΨC (thymidine-pseudouridine-cytidine)-loop was absent in trnF (phenylalanine) and DHU (dihydrouracil)-loop was absent in trnS1 (serine S1). In B. umbrosa, trnN (asparagine), trnC (cysteine) and trnF lacked the TψC-loop, while trnS1 lacked the DHU-stem. Molecular phylogeny based on 13 PCGs was in general concordant with 15 mitochondrial genes (13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes), with B. latifrons and B. umbrosa forming a sister group basal to the other species of the subgenus Bactrocera which was monophyletic. The whole mitogenomes will serve as a useful dataset for studying the genetics, systematics and phylogenetic relationships of the many species of Bactrocera genus in particular, and tephritid fruit flies in general.

    Futra D, Heng LY, Ahmad A, Surif S, Ling TL
    Sensors (Basel), 2015 May 28;15(6):12668-81.
    PMID: 26029952 DOI: 10.3390/s150612668
    A fluorescence-based fiber optic toxicity biosensor based on genetically modified Escherichia coli (E. coli) with green fluorescent protein (GFP) was developed for the evaluation of the toxicity of several hazardous heavy metal ions. The toxic metals include Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cr(VI), Co(II), Ni(II), Ag(I) and Fe(III). The optimum fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the optical biosensor were 400 ± 2 nm and 485 ± 2 nm, respectively. Based on the toxicity observed under optimal conditions, the detection limits of Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cr(VI), Co(II), Ni(II), Ag(I) and Fe(III) that can be detected using the toxicity biosensor were at 0.04, 0.32, 0.46, 2.80, 100, 250, 400, 720 and 2600 μg/L, respectively. The repeatability and reproducibility of the proposed biosensor were 3.5%-4.8% RSD (relative standard deviation) and 3.6%-5.1% RSD (n = 8), respectively. The biosensor response was stable for at least five weeks, and demonstrated higher sensitivity towards metal toxicity evaluation when compared to a conventional Microtox assay.

    Srivastava AK, Igarashi A
    Acta Virol., 1986 Mar;30(2):126-30.
    PMID: 2873729
    Purified preparations of Getah virus strains have been analysed by sodium-dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to reveal their structural proteins. Two envelope proteins (E1 and E2) and core protein (C) were found with the prototype AMM2021 strain both under reducing and nonreducing conditions, while separation of E1 and E2 was observed only under nonreducing conditions for 3 strains isolated in Japan. Limited digestion by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease revealed difference in the peptide patterns of E1 between AMM2021 and Japanese isolates. Mobility of E1 and E2 was slower for the virus grown in BHK21 cells compared with the virus grown in Aedes albopictus cells, indicating host-controlled modification on the envelope glycoproteins.

    PMID: 31422552 DOI: 10.1007/s10265-019-01130-w
    Carnivorous plants capture and digest insects for nutrients, allowing them to survive in soil deprived of nitrogenous nutrients. Plants from the genus Nepenthes produce unique pitchers containing secretory glands, which secrete enzymes into the digestive fluid. We performed RNA-seq analysis on the pitcher tissues and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis on the pitcher fluids of Nepenthes × ventrata to study protein expression in this carnivory organ during early days of pitcher opening. This transcriptome provides a sequence database for pitcher fluid protein identification. A total of 32 proteins of diverse functions were successfully identified in which 19 proteins can be quantified based on label-free quantitative proteomics (SWATH-MS) analysis while 16 proteins were not reported previously. Our findings show that certain proteins in the pitcher fluid were continuously secreted or replenished after pitcher opening, even without any prey or chitin induction. We also discovered a new aspartic proteinase, Nep6, secreted into pitcher fluid. This is the first SWATH-MS analysis of protein expression in Nepenthes pitcher fluid using a species-specific reference transcriptome. Taken together, our study using a gel-free shotgun proteomics informed by transcriptomics (PIT) approach showed the dynamics of endogenous protein secretion in the digestive organ of N. × ventrata and provides insights on protein regulation during early pitcher opening prior to prey capture.

  20. In vivo interactions between neurotoxin, cardiotoxin and phospholipases A2 isolated from Malayan cobra (Naja naja sputatrix) venom
    Tan NH, Armugam A
    Toxicon, 1990;28(10):1193-8.
    PMID: 2264068
    The in vivo interactions between alpha-neurotoxin, cardiotoxin and two phospholipases A2 (sputa-phospholipase A2-1 and 3) isolated from Malayan cobra venom were assessed by examining the effects of simultaneous injection of sub-LD50 dose of one toxin on (i) i.v. LD50 S of the other toxins in mice; and (ii) mean survival times of mice injected with lethal doses of the other toxins. While LD50 measurements did not reveal any interaction between the toxins in vivo, survival time measurements suggest a synergy between the neurotoxin and sputa-phospholipase A2-1 and between sputa-phospholipase A2-1 and sputa-phospholipase A2-3. Our results also suggest that both sputa-phospholipases A2 interfere with the lethal action of the cardiotoxin, resulting in prolongation of the mean survival time of mice injected with a lethal dose of cardiotoxin. The patterns of in vivo interactions between phospholipase A2 and other venom toxins appear to depend on the nature and mode of pharmacological action of the phospholipase A2.
