The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the eukaryotic genome is critical for its proper function. Evidence suggests that extensive chromatin loops form the building blocks of the genomic architecture, separating genes and gene clusters into distinct functional domains. These loops are anchored in part by a special type of DNA elements called chromatin boundary elements (CBEs). CBEs were originally found to insulate neighboring genes by blocking influences of transcriptional enhancers or the spread of silent chromatin. However, recent results show that chromatin loops can also play a positive role in gene regulation by looping out intervening DNA and "delivering" remote enhancers to gene promoters. In addition, studies from human and model organisms indicate that the configuration of chromatin loops, many of which are tethered by CBEs, is dynamically regulated during cell differentiation. In particular, a recent work by Li et al has shown that the SF1 boundary, located in the Drosophila Hox cluster, regulates local genes by tethering different subsets of chromatin loops: One subset enclose a neighboring gene ftz, limiting its access by the surrounding Scr enhancers and restrict the spread of repressive histones during early embryogenesis; and the other loops subdivide the Scr regulatory region into independent domains of enhancer accessibility. The enhancer-blocking activity of these CBE elements varies greatly in strength and tissue distribution. Further, tandem pairing of SF1 and SF2 facilitate the bypass of distal enhancers in transgenic flies, providing a mechanism for endogenous enhancers to circumvent genomic interruptions resulting from chromosomal rearrangement. This study demonstrates how a network of chromatin boundaries, centrally organized by SF1, can remodel the 3D genome to facilitate gene regulation during development.
真核生物基因组的三维(3D)组织对其正常功能至关重要。有证据表明,广泛的染色质环构成了基因组结构的基石,将基因和基因簇分离到不同的功能域。这些环部分由一种称为染色质边界元件(CBEs)的特殊类型的DNA元件固定。最初发现cbe通过阻断转录增强子的影响或沉默染色质的传播来隔离邻近基因。然而,最近的研究结果表明,染色质环也可以通过环出干预DNA和“传递”远程增强子到基因启动子,在基因调控中发挥积极作用。此外,来自人类和模式生物的研究表明,染色质环的结构在细胞分化过程中受到动态调节,其中许多染色质环是由cbe拴住的。特别是,Li等人最近的一项研究表明,位于果蝇Hox群中的SF1边界通过拴住不同的染色质环亚群来调节局部基因:一个亚群包围邻近的基因ftz,限制其被周围的Scr增强子进入,并在早期胚胎发生期间限制抑制组蛋白的传播;其他环将Scr调控区域细分为增强子可及性的独立区域。这些CBE元件的增强剂阻断活性在强度和组织分布上差异很大。此外,SF1和SF2的串联配对有助于绕过转基因果蝇的远端增强子,为内源性增强子规避染色体重排导致的基因组中断提供了一种机制。这项研究展示了由SF1集中组织的染色质边界网络如何重塑3D基因组,以促进发育过程中的基因调控。

High mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) is a multifunctional protein that interacts with DNA and chromatin to influence the regulation of transcription, DNA replication and repair and recombination. We show that HMGB1 alters the structure and stability of the canonical nucleosome (N) in a nonenzymatic, adenosine triphosphate-independent manner. As a result, the canonical nucleosome is converted to two stable, physically distinct nucleosome conformers. Although estrogen receptor (ER) does not bind to its consensus estrogen response element within a nucleosome, HMGB1 restructures the nucleosome to facilitate strong ER binding. The isolated HMGB1-restructured nucleosomes (N' and N'') remain stable and exhibit a number of characteristics that are distinctly different from the canonical nucleosome. These findings complement previous studies that showed (1) HMGB1 stimulates in vivo transcriptional activation at estrogen response elements and (2) knock down of HMGB1 expression by siRNA precipitously reduced transcriptional activation. The findings indicate that a major facet of the mechanism of HMGB1 action involves a restructuring of aspects of the nucleosome that appear to relax structural constraints within the nucleosome. The findings are extended to reveal the differences between ER and the other steroid hormone receptors. A working proposal outlines mechanisms that highlight the multiple facets that HMGB1 may utilize in restructuring the nucleosome.

高迁移率基团蛋白1 (HMGB1)是一种与DNA和染色质相互作用,影响转录、DNA复制、修复和重组调控的多功能蛋白。我们发现HMGB1以非酶、三磷酸腺苷不依赖的方式改变典型核小体(N)的结构和稳定性。结果,典型核小体被转化为两个稳定的、物理上不同的核小体构象。尽管雌激素受体(ER)不与核小体内的雌激素反应元件结合,但HMGB1重组核小体以促进ER的强结合。分离的hmgb1重组核小体(N'和N')保持稳定,并表现出许多明显不同于典型核小体的特征。这些发现补充了先前的研究结果,即(1)HMGB1刺激体内雌激素反应元件的转录激活,(2)通过siRNA敲低HMGB1的表达可急剧降低转录激活。研究结果表明,HMGB1作用机制的一个主要方面涉及核小体的重组,这些重组似乎放松了核小体内部的结构限制。研究结果进一步揭示了内质网和其他类固醇激素受体之间的差异。一项工作建议概述了HMGB1在核小体重组中可能利用的多个方面的机制。

RNA-binding proteins related to stress response and differentiation in protozoa. 原生动物应激反应和分化相关的rna结合蛋白。

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key regulators of gene expression. There are several distinct families of RBPs and they are involved in the cellular response to environmental changes, cell differentiation and cell death. The RBPs can differentially combine with RNA molecules and form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, defining the function and fate of RNA molecules in the cell. RBPs display diverse domains that allow them to be categorized into distinct families. They play important roles in the cellular response to physiological stress, in cell differentiation, and, it is believed, in the cellular localization of certain mRNAs. In several protozoa, a physiological stress (nutritional, temperature or pH) triggers differentiation to a distinct developmental stage. Most of the RBPs characterized in protozoa arise from trypanosomatids. In these protozoa gene expression regulation is mostly post-transcriptional, which suggests that some RBPs might display regulatory functions distinct from those described for other eukaryotes. mRNA stability can be altered as a response to stress. Transcripts are sequestered to RNA granules that ultimately modulate their availability to the translation machinery, storage or degradation, depending on the associated proteins. These aggregates of mRNPs containing mRNAs that are not being translated colocalize in cytoplasmic foci, and their numbers and size vary according to cell conditions such as oxidative stress, nutritional status and treatment with drugs that inhibit translation.
rna结合蛋白(rbp)是基因表达的关键调控因子。rbp有几个不同的家族,它们参与细胞对环境变化、细胞分化和细胞死亡的反应。rbp可以不同地与RNA分子结合,形成核糖核蛋白(RNP)复合物,决定RNA分子在细胞中的功能和命运。rbp显示不同的域,这使得它们可以被分类到不同的科中。它们在细胞对生理应激的反应、细胞分化以及某些mrna的细胞定位中发挥重要作用。在一些原生动物中,生理压力(营养、温度或pH值)触发分化到一个不同的发育阶段。在原生动物中发现的大多数rbp来自锥虫。在这些原生动物中,基因表达调控主要是转录后的,这表明一些rbp可能表现出与其他真核生物不同的调控功能。mRNA的稳定性可以作为应激反应而改变。转录本被隔离在RNA颗粒中,最终根据相关蛋白质调节其对翻译机制、储存或降解的可用性。这些含有未被翻译的mrna的mRNPs聚集体在细胞质病灶中共定位,它们的数量和大小根据细胞状况(如氧化应激、营养状况和抑制翻译的药物治疗)而变化。

Yersinia type III effectors perturb host innate immune responses. III型耶尔森菌效应物扰乱宿主先天免疫反应。

The innate immune system is the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Innate immune cells recognize molecular patterns from the pathogen and mount a response to resolve the infection. The production of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species, phagocytosis, and induced programmed cell death are processes initiated by innate immune cells in order to combat invading pathogens. However, pathogens have evolved various virulence mechanisms to subvert these responses. One strategy utilized by Gram-negative bacterial pathogens is the deployment of a complex machine termed the type III secretion system (T3SS). The T3SS is composed of a syringe-like needle structure and the effector proteins that are injected directly into a target host cell to disrupt a cellular response. The three human pathogenic Yersinia spp. (Y. pestis, Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pseudotuberculosis) are Gram-negative bacteria that share in common a 70 kb virulence plasmid which encodes the T3SS. Translocation of the Yersinia effector proteins (YopE, YopH, YopT, YopM, YpkA/YopO, and YopP/J) into the target host cell results in disruption of the actin cytoskeleton to inhibit phagocytosis, downregulation of proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine production, and induction of cellular apoptosis of the target cell. Over the past 25 years, studies on the Yersinia effector proteins have unveiled tremendous knowledge of how the effectors enhance Yersinia virulence. Recently, the long awaited crystal structure of YpkA has been solved providing further insights into the activation of the YpkA kinase domain. Multisite autophosphorylation by YpkA to activate its kinase domain was also shown and postulated to serve as a mechanism to bypass regulation by host phosphatases. In addition, novel Yersinia effector protein targets, such as caspase-1, and signaling pathways including activation of the inflammasome were identified. In this review, we summarize the recent discoveries made on Yersinia effector proteins and their contribution to Yersinia pathogenesis.
先天免疫系统是抵御病原体入侵的第一道防线。先天免疫细胞识别来自病原体的分子模式,并产生应答以解决感染。促炎细胞因子和活性氧的产生、吞噬和诱导的程序性细胞死亡是先天免疫细胞为了对抗入侵的病原体而启动的过程。然而,病原体已经进化出各种毒力机制来破坏这些反应。革兰氏阴性细菌病原体采用的一种策略是部署称为III型分泌系统(T3SS)的复杂机器。T3SS由类似注射器的针状结构和效应蛋白组成,这些效应蛋白被直接注射到目标宿主细胞中以破坏细胞反应。三种人类致病性耶尔森氏菌(鼠疫耶尔森氏菌、小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌和假结核耶尔森氏菌)是革兰氏阴性菌,它们共有一个70kb的毒力质粒,编码T3SS。耶尔森氏菌效应蛋白(YopE、YopH、YopT、YopM、YpkA/YopO和YopP/J)易位到靶宿主细胞后,可破坏肌动蛋白细胞骨架,抑制吞噬,下调促炎细胞因子/趋化因子的产生,诱导靶细胞凋亡。在过去的25年里,对耶尔森氏菌效应蛋白的研究揭示了效应蛋白如何增强耶尔森氏菌的毒力。最近,人们期待已久的YpkA晶体结构已经得到解决,为YpkA激酶结构域的激活提供了进一步的见解。YpkA激活其激酶结构域的多位点自磷酸化也被证明是一种绕过宿主磷酸酶调节的机制。此外,还发现了新的耶尔森菌效应蛋白靶点,如caspase-1,以及包括炎症小体激活在内的信号通路。本文综述了近年来有关耶尔森氏菌效应蛋白的研究进展及其在耶尔森氏菌发病机制中的作用。

Lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is the most common extranodal B cell tumor and accounts for 8% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Gastric MALT lymphoma is the best-studied example and is a prototypical neoplasm that occurs in the setting of chronic inflammation brought on by persistent infection or autoimmune disease. Cytogenetic abnormalities are commonly acquired during the course of disease and the most common is chromosomal translocation t(11;18)(q21;q21), which creates the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein. t(11;18)-positive lymphomas can be clinically aggressive and have a higher rate of dissemination than t(11;18)-negative tumors. Many cancers, including MALT lymphomas, characteristically exhibit deregulated over-activation of cellular survival pathways, such as the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. Molecular characterization of API2-MALT1 has revealed it to be a potent activator of NF-κB, which is required for API2-MALT1-induced cellular transformation, however the mechanisms by which API2-MALT1 exerts these effects are only recently becoming apparent. The API2 moiety of the fusion binds tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor (TRAF) 2 and receptor interacting protein 1 (RIP1), two proteins essential for TNF receptor-induced NF-κB activation. By effectively mimicking ligand-bound TNF receptor, API2-MALT1 promotes TRAF2-dependent ubiquitination of RIP1, which then acts as a scaffold for nucleating and activating the canonical NF-κB machinery. Activation occurs, in part, through MALT1 moiety-dependent recruitment of TRAF6, which can directly modify NF-κB essential modulator, the principal downstream regulator of NF-κB. While the intrinsic MALT1 protease catalytic activity is dispensable for this canonical NF-κB signaling, it is critical for non-canonical NF-κB activation. In this regard, API2-MALT1 recognizes NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK), the essential upstream regulator of non-canonical NF-κB, and cleaves it to generate a stable, constitutively active fragment. Thus, API2-MALT1 harnesses multiple unique pathways to achieve deregulated NF-κB activation. Emerging data from our group and others have also detailed additional gain-of-function activities of API2-MALT1 that extend beyond NF-κB activation. Specifically, API2-MALT1 recruits and subverts multiple other signaling factors, including LIM domain and actin-binding protein 1 (LIMA1) and Smac/DIABLO. Like NIK, LIMA1 represents a unique substrate for API2-MALT1 protease activity, but unlike NIK, its cleavage sets in motion a major NF-κB-independent pathway for promoting oncogenesis. In this review, we highlight the most recent results characterizing these unique and diverse gain-of-function activities of API2-MALT1 and how they contribute to lymphomagenesis.
粘膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)是最常见的结外B细胞肿瘤,占非霍奇金淋巴瘤的8%。胃MALT淋巴瘤是研究得最好的一个例子,它是一种典型的肿瘤,发生在由持续感染或自身免疫性疾病引起的慢性炎症的背景下。细胞遗传学异常通常在疾病过程中获得,最常见的是染色体易位t(11;18)(q21;q21),它产生API2-MALT1融合癌蛋白。T(11;18)阳性淋巴瘤具有临床侵袭性,其播散率高于T(11;18)阴性肿瘤。许多癌症,包括MALT淋巴瘤,特征性地表现为细胞生存通路的过度激活,如核因子-κB (NF-κB)通路。API2-MALT1的分子特征表明,它是NF-κB的有效激活剂,而NF-κB是API2-MALT1诱导细胞转化所必需的,然而API2-MALT1发挥这些作用的机制直到最近才变得清晰。融合的API2片段结合肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)受体相关因子(TRAF) 2和受体相互作用蛋白1 (RIP1),这两种蛋白是TNF受体诱导的NF-κB活化所必需的。通过有效地模拟配体结合的TNF受体,API2-MALT1促进traf2依赖的RIP1泛素化,RIP1随后作为成核和激活典型NF-κB机制的支架。激活部分是通过MALT1基因依赖TRAF6的募集发生的,TRAF6可以直接修饰NF-κB的基本调节剂,即NF-κB的主要下游调节剂。虽然固有的MALT1蛋白酶催化活性对于这种典型的NF-κB信号传导是必不可少的,但它对于非典型NF-κB的激活至关重要。在这方面,API2-MALT1识别NF-κB诱导激酶(NIK),非典型NF-κB的重要上游调节因子,并将其切割成稳定的、组成活性片段。因此,API2-MALT1利用多种独特的途径来实现NF-κB的激活。来自我们小组和其他人的新数据还详细介绍了API2-MALT1的其他功能获得活性,这些活性超出了NF-κB的激活。具体来说,API2-MALT1招募并破坏多种其他信号因子,包括LIM结构域和肌动蛋白结合蛋白1 (LIMA1)和Smac/DIABLO。与NIK一样,LIMA1是API2-MALT1蛋白酶活性的独特底物,但与NIK不同的是,它的裂解启动了一个主要的不依赖NF-κ b的促进肿瘤发生的途径。在这篇综述中,我们重点介绍了API2-MALT1这些独特和多样化的功能获得活性的最新结果,以及它们如何促进淋巴瘤的发生。

Chemoprevention is one of the cancer prevention approaches wherein natural/synthetic agent(s) are prescribed with the aim to delay or disrupt multiple pathways and processes involved at multiple steps, i.e., initiation, promotion, and progression of cancer. Amongst environmental chemopreventive compounds, diet/beverage-derived components are under evaluation, because of their long history of exposure to humans, high tolerability, low toxicity, and reported biological activities. This compilation briefly covers and compares the available evidence on chemopreventive efficacy and probable mechanism of chemoprevention by selected dietary phytochemicals (capsaicin, curcumin, diallyl sulphide, genistein, green/black tea polyphenols, indoles, lycopene, phenethyl isocyanate, resveratrol, retinoids and tocopherols) in experimental systems and clinical trials. All the dietary phytochemicals covered in this review have demonstrated chemopreventive efficacy against spontaneous or carcinogen-induced experimental tumors and/or associated biomarkers and processes in rodents at several organ sites. The observed anti-initiating, anti-promoting and anti-progression activity of dietary phytochemicals in carcinogen-induced experimental models involve phytochemical-mediated redox changes, modulation of enzymes and signaling kinases resulting to effects on multiple genes and cell signaling pathways. Results from clinical trials using these compounds have not shown them to be chemopreventive. This may be due to our: (1) inability to reproduce the exposure conditions, i.e., levels, complexity, other host and lifestyle factors; and (2) lack of understanding about the mechanisms of action and agent-mediated toxicity in several organs and physiological processes in the host. Current research efforts in addressing the issues of exposure conditions, bioavailability, toxicity and the mode of action of dietary phytochemicals may help address the reason for observed mismatch that may ultimately lead to identification of new chemopreventive agents for protection against broad spectrum of exposures.
化学预防是一种癌症预防方法,其中天然/合成药物的目的是延迟或破坏涉及多个步骤的多种途径和过程,即癌症的开始,促进和进展。在环境化学预防化合物中,饮食/饮料来源的成分由于其长期暴露于人类、高耐受性、低毒性和已报道的生物活性而正在评估中。本汇编简要介绍并比较了实验系统和临床试验中选定的膳食植物化学物质(辣椒素、姜黄素、硫化物二烯丙基、染料木素、绿茶/红茶多酚、吲哚、番茄红素、异氰酸苯乙酯、白藜芦醇、类维生素a和生育酚)的化学预防功效和可能的化学预防机制的现有证据。本综述所涵盖的所有膳食植物化学物质都已证明对啮齿类动物几个器官部位的自发或致癌物诱导的实验性肿瘤和/或相关生物标志物和过程具有化学预防作用。在致癌物质诱导的实验模型中,观察到膳食植物化学物质的抗启动、抗促进和抗进展活性涉及植物化学物质介导的氧化还原变化、酶和信号激酶的调节,从而影响多种基因和细胞信号通路。使用这些化合物的临床试验结果并未显示它们具有化学预防作用。这可能是由于我们的:(1)无法重现暴露条件,即水平,复杂性,其他宿主和生活方式因素;(2)缺乏对药物在宿主几个器官和生理过程中的作用机制和药物介导的毒性的了解。目前在解决膳食植物化学物质的暴露条件、生物利用度、毒性和作用方式等问题上的研究工作,可能有助于解决所观察到的不匹配的原因,最终可能导致鉴定出新的化学预防剂,以防止广泛的暴露。

Bioavailability of vitamin E is influenced by several factors, most are highlighted in this review. While gender, age and genetic constitution influence vitamin E bioavailability but cannot be modified, life-style and intake of vitamin E can be. Numerous factors must be taken into account however, i.e., when vitamin E is orally administrated, the food matrix may contain competing nutrients. The complex metabolic processes comprise intestinal absorption, vascular transport, hepatic sorting by intracellular binding proteins, such as the significant α-tocopherol-transfer protein, and hepatic metabolism. The coordinated changes involved in the hepatic metabolism of vitamin E provide an effective physiological pathway to protect tissues against the excessive accumulation of, in particular, non-α-tocopherol forms. Metabolism of vitamin E begins with one cycle of CYP4F2/CYP3A4-dependent ω-hydroxylation followed by five cycles of subsequent β-oxidation, and forms the water-soluble end-product carboxyethylhydroxychroman. All known hepatic metabolites can be conjugated and are excreted, depending on the length of their side-chain, either via urine or feces. The physiological handling of vitamin E underlies kinetics which vary between the different vitamin E forms. Here, saturation of the side-chain and also substitution of the chromanol ring system are important. Most of the metabolic reactions and processes that are involved with vitamin E are also shared by other fat soluble vitamins. Influencing interactions with other nutrients such as vitamin K or pharmaceuticals are also covered by this review. All these processes modulate the formation of vitamin E metabolites and their concentrations in tissues and body fluids. Differences in metabolism might be responsible for the discrepancies that have been observed in studies performed in vivo and in vitro using vitamin E as a supplement or nutrient. To evaluate individual vitamin E status, the analytical procedures used for detecting and quantifying vitamin E and its metabolites are crucial. The latest methods in analytics are presented.
维生素E的生物利用度受多种因素的影响,本文重点介绍了这些因素。虽然性别、年龄和遗传体质会影响维生素E的生物利用度,但无法改变,但生活方式和维生素E的摄入量可以改变。然而,必须考虑许多因素,例如,当口服维生素E时,食物基质可能含有竞争性营养素。复杂的代谢过程包括肠道吸收、血管转运、细胞内结合蛋白(如α-生育酚转移蛋白)对肝脏的分选以及肝脏代谢。维生素E肝脏代谢的协调变化提供了一个有效的生理途径,以保护组织免受过度积累,特别是非α-生育酚形式。维生素E的代谢始于一个依赖于CYP4F2/ cyp3a4的ω-羟基化周期,随后是五个周期的β-氧化,并形成水溶性终产物羧乙基羟色胺。所有已知的肝脏代谢物都可以偶联并通过尿液或粪便排出体外,这取决于其侧链的长度。维生素E的生理处理是动力学的基础,在不同的维生素E形式之间变化。在这里,侧链的饱和和氯胺醇环系统的取代是重要的。大多数与维生素E有关的代谢反应和过程也与其他脂溶性维生素共享。与其他营养物质,如维生素K或药物的影响相互作用也包括在这篇综述中。所有这些过程都调节维生素E代谢物的形成及其在组织和体液中的浓度。代谢的差异可能是在体内和体外使用维生素E作为补充剂或营养物的研究中观察到的差异的原因。为了评估个体维生素E状态,用于检测和定量维生素E及其代谢物的分析方法至关重要。介绍了分析学的最新方法。

Regulation of RNA binding proteins in trypanosomatid protozoan parasites. 锥虫原虫寄生虫中RNA结合蛋白的调控。

Posttranscriptional mechanisms have a critical role in the overall outcome of gene expression. These mechanisms are especially relevant in protozoa from the genus Trypanosoma, which is composed by death threatening parasites affecting people in Sub-saharan Africa or in the Americas. In these parasites the classic view of regulation of transcription initiation to modulate the products of a given gene cannot be applied. This is due to the presence of transcription start sites that give rise to long polycistronic units that need to be processed costranscriptionally by trans-splicing and polyadenylation to give mature monocistronic mRNAs. Posttranscriptional mechanisms such as mRNA degradation and translational repression are responsible for the final synthesis of the required protein products. In this context, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in trypanosomes have a relevant role as modulators of mRNA abundance and translational repression by associating to the 3' untranslated regions in mRNA. Many different RBPs have been proposed to modulate cohorts of mRNAs in trypanosomes. However, the current understanding of their functions lacks a dynamic view on the different steps at which these RBPs are regulated. Here, we discuss different evidences to propose regulatory events for different RBPs in these parasites. These events vary from regulated developmental expression, to biogenesis of cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complexes in the nucleus, and condensation of RBPs and mRNA into large cytoplasmic granules. Finally, we discuss how newly identified posttranslational modifications of RBPs and mRNA metabolism-related proteins could have an enormous impact on the modulation of mRNA abundance. To understand these modifications is especially relevant in these parasites due to the fact that the enzymes involved could be interesting targets for drug therapy.
转录后机制在基因表达的整体结果中起着关键作用。这些机制与锥虫属原生动物特别相关,锥虫属由威胁死亡的寄生虫组成,影响撒哈拉以南非洲或美洲的人们。在这些寄生虫中,通过转录起始调节特定基因产物的经典观点不能适用。这是由于转录起始位点的存在,产生长多反反子单元,这些单元需要通过反式剪接和聚腺苷化进行反反子加工,以产生成熟的单反反子mrna。转录后机制,如mRNA降解和翻译抑制负责所需蛋白质产物的最终合成。在这种情况下,锥虫体内的rna结合蛋白(rbp)通过与mRNA中的3'非翻译区相关联,在mRNA丰度和翻译抑制方面发挥了相关的调节作用。已经提出了许多不同的rbp来调节锥虫体内的mrna群。然而,目前对其功能的理解缺乏对这些rbp被调节的不同步骤的动态视图。在此,我们讨论了不同的证据来提出不同rbp在这些寄生虫中的调控事件。这些事件从调控的发育表达,到细胞核内细胞质核糖核蛋白复合物的生物发生,以及rbp和mRNA缩合成大的细胞质颗粒。最后,我们讨论了新发现的rbp和mRNA代谢相关蛋白的翻译后修饰如何对mRNA丰度的调节产生巨大影响。了解这些修饰在这些寄生虫中尤其重要,因为所涉及的酶可能是药物治疗的有趣靶点。

An obligatory sunlight requirement for photosynthesis has exposed cyanobacteria to different quantity and quality of light. Cyanobacteria can exhibit efficient photosynthesis over broad region (450 to 650 nm) of solar spectrum with the help of brilliantly coloured pigment proteins called phycobiliproteins (PBPs). Besides light-harvesting, PBPs are found to involve in several life sustaining phenomena including photoprotection in cyanobacteria. The unique spectral features (like strong absorbance and fluorescence), proteineous nature and, some imperative properties like hepato-protective, anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging activity of PBPs enable their use in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. PBPs have been also noted to show beneficial effect in therapeutics of some disease like Alzheimer and cancer. Such large range of applications increases the demand of PBPs in commodity market. Therefore, the large-scale and coast effective production of PBPs is the real need of time. To fulfil this need, many researchers have been working to find the potential producer of PBPs for the production and purification of PBPs. Results of these efforts have caused the inventions of some novel techniques like mixotrophic and heterotrophic strategies for production and aqueous two phase separation for purification purpose. Overall, the present review summarises the recent findings and identifies gaps in the field of production, purification and applications of this biological and economically important proteins.

蓝藻必须在阳光下才能进行光合作用,这使得蓝藻必须接受不同数量和质量的光照。蓝藻可以在太阳光谱的宽广区域(450 至 650 纳米)内进行高效的光合作用,这得益于被称为藻蓝蛋白(PBPs)的艳丽色素蛋白的帮助。除光收集外,PBPs 还参与了蓝藻中包括光保护在内的多种生命维持现象。PBPs 具有独特的光谱特征(如强吸光度和荧光)、蛋白质性质以及一些必要的特性,如肝保护、抗氧化、抗炎和抗衰老活性,因此可用于食品、化妆品、制药和生物医学行业。人们还注意到,PBPs 对某些疾病(如老年痴呆症和癌症)的治疗也有好处。如此广泛的应用增加了商品市场对 PBPs 的需求。因此,大规模、有效地生产 PBPs 是当务之急。为了满足这一需求,许多研究人员一直在努力寻找潜在的 PBPs 生产者,以生产和纯化 PBPs。这些努力的结果导致了一些新技术的发明,如用于生产的混养和异养策略以及用于纯化目的的水性两相分离。总之,本综述总结了最近的研究成果,并指出了这种具有重要生物和经济价值的蛋白质在生产、纯化和应用领域存在的差距。
