For normal organ and tissue development and function, certain genes must be expressed at the appropriate place and time. For example, neural genes must be expressed in neural tissue but shut down in nonneural tissues. Lunyak et al. examined mechanisms by which neural-specific gene expression can be restricted from nonneural tissues. The zinc-finger transcription factor REST/NRSF can mediate extraneural restriction through two different mechanisms, one of which uses active repression via a histone deacetylation complex and one that involves gene silencing via DNA methylation and the recruitment of the corepressor CoREST and silencing machinery. The latter mechanism can mediate gene silencing of specific chromosomal regions, including gene clusters encompassing neuron-specific genes, some of which do not themselves contain REST/NRSF response elements.

为了正常的器官和组织发育和功能，某些基因必须在适当的地点和时间表达。例如，神经基因必须在神经组织中表达，而在非神经组织中关闭。Lunyak等人研究了非神经组织限制神经特异性基因表达的机制。锌指转录因子REST/NRSF可以通过两种不同的机制介导神经外限制，一种是通过组蛋白去乙酰化复合物进行主动抑制，另一种是通过DNA甲基化和辅抑制因子CoREST的募集和沉默机制进行基因沉默。后一种机制可以介导特定染色体区域的基因沉默，包括包含神经元特异性基因的基因簇，其中一些基因簇本身不包含REST/NRSF反应元件。V.

Bacteria lack rigid cell walls and must respond rapidly to salt-induced gradients in osmotic pressure. In Escherichia coli, the mechanosensitive channel proteins MscL and MscS open in response to pressure applied perpendicularly to the membrane, which has the effect of pulling laterally on the membrane-embedded proteins. Bass et al. (see the Perspective by Bezanilla and Perozo) provide the crystal structure of MscS and describe how the transmembrane helices might reorient themselves as a result of being pulled sideways. The authors also propose how changes in transmembrane electrical potential might trigger movement of positively charged arginines and voltage-gate the osmolyte flux. R. B. Bass, P. Strop, M.

How is specificity gained when numerous genes are regulated by a single transcription factor in response to diverse stimuli? Hoffman et al. (see the Perspective by Ting and Endy) examined how a transcription factor called nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is differentially controlled by three different isoforms of an inhibitor protein called IκB. They combined computational modeling with biochemical data that they obtained from genetically engineered cells that express only one IκB isoform. During the cell's exposure to a stimulus, a bimodal and temporal signal processing mechanism determines which IκB-NF-κB pathway and downstream target genes get activated. A. Hoffmann, A.

Interest in alternative preventive strategies against bone loss has intensified in light of the recent announcement of risks associated with hormone replacement therapy. Previous cell culture studies showed that estrogen and androgen protect bone through a mechanism distinct from the DNA-mediated mechanism underlying their effects on reproductive organs. Kousteni et al. now show that a synthetic compound (estren) that mimics these "nongenotropic" effects can increase bone mass in estrogen- or androgen-deficient mice without adverse effects on reproductive organs.

Insulin and other insulin-like growth factors signal through a pathway that involves phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the forkhead transcription factors. This pathway is a critical regulator of life-span and reproduction in many organisms. Dillin et al. have now determined that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, life-span can be regulated through this pathway only in the adult and reproduction only in the developmental phases. Thus, the long-standing notion that life-span can be lengthened only at the expense of reproductive fitness is almost certainly false. A. Dillin, D. K. Crawford, C.

A single gene can give rise to more than one gene product through the differential splicing of messenger RNA. There has been growing evidence that this processing event may be functionally linked to RNA transcription. Auboeuf et al. report that in the case of nuclear receptors for steroid hormones, receptor-ligand interactions coordinate these processes at specific gene promoters through the recruitment of receptor coregulators that can both control gene transcription and splicing. This double-duty may ensure that the appropriate gene product is generated in response to a steroid hormone signal. D. Auboeuf, A. Hönig, S. M. Berget, B. W.

Both B and T lymphocyte responses require support from specialized helper T lymphocytes, which mediate their effects via the cell-surface protein CD40. For B cells, this support involves direct interaction with helper T cells expressing CD40-ligand (CD40-L). For CD8+ T cells, such help has been assumed to depend on signals generated via CD40 on third-party antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Bourgeois et al. developed an in vivo system for priming CD8 responses in which CD40 was present on CD8+ T cells, but absent on APCs. As expected, CD4+ cells were required to supply help via CD40-L but could generate CD8+ T cell memory without the need for CD40 on APCs. The role for CD40 on CD8+ T cells, rather than on the APCs, indicates a direct form of help paralleling that used in B cell memory formation. C. Bourgeois, B. Rocha, C.

Neurons communicate with one another through specialized junctions called synapses that are so robust that they survive homogenization. Although several cell-surface receptor-ligand pairs have been proposed to participate in forming and maintaining synapses, one of the best families of candidates--the immunoglobulin-domain proteins--have only been found in invertebrates. Biederer et al. report that IGSF4 is a homophilic protein that can induce the formation of fully functional glutamatergic synapses when cotransfected into nonneural, vertebrate human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells along with glutamate receptors.

The family of receptors for epidermal growth factor (EGF) transmits signals critical for growth and differentiation of cells in a wide variety of tissues during development. Inappropriate expression of these receptors occurs in many human cancers, and Herceptin, an antibody against one of these receptors (HER2), is used in the treatment of breast cancer. Cho and Leahy present the 2.6 angstrom crystal structure of the entire extracellular portion of one member of this receptor family, HER3. One of the L-shaped halves sits atop the other and assumes a toroidal shape with a protruding spur. Previously mapped regions of the EGF binding site, on the spur and the torus, must be brought together in order to interact productively with the ligand. Interference with this large-scale conformational change might offer a promising route to therapeutics. H.-S. Cho, D. J. Leahy, Structure of the extracellular region of HER3 reveals an interdomain tether, Science 297, 1330-1333 (2002). [Abstract] [Full Text]
表皮生长因子(EGF)受体家族在多种组织发育过程中传递对细胞生长和分化至关重要的信号。这些受体的不适当表达发生在许多人类癌症中，赫赛汀是一种针对这些受体之一(HER2)的抗体，用于治疗乳腺癌。Cho和Leahy展示了该受体家族成员HER3的整个细胞外部分的2.6埃晶体结构。其中一个l形的一半位于另一个的顶部，呈环形，有一个突出的马刺。先前绘制的EGF结合位点区域，在骨刺和环面上，必须聚集在一起，以便与配体有效地相互作用。干扰这种大规模的构象变化可能为治疗提供一条有希望的途径。H.-S。Cho, D. J. Leahy, HER3的胞外区结构揭示了一个域间链，科学297,1330-1333(2002)。【摘要】【全文】
