We propose an improved prediction method of the tertiary structures of $alpha$-helical membrane proteins based on the replica-exchange method by taking into account helix deformations. Our method allows wide applications because transmembrane helices of native membrane proteins are often distorted. In order to test the effectiveness of the present method, we applied it to the structure predictions of glycophorin A and phospholamban. The results were in accord with experiments.

The need of new diagnostic methods satisfying, as an early detection, a low invasive procedure and a cost-efficient value, is orienting the technological research toward the use of bio-integrated devices, in particular bio-sensors. The set of know-why necessary to achieve this goal is wide, from biochemistry to electronics and is summarized in an emerging branch of electronics, called textit{proteotronics}. Proteotronics is here here applied to state a comparative analysis of the electrical responses coming from type-1 and type-2 opsins. In particular, the procedure is used as an early investigation of a recently discovered family of opsins, the proteorhodopsins activated by blue light, BPRs. The results reveal some interesting and unexpected similarities between proteins of the two families, suggesting the global electrical response are not strictly linked to the class identity.
由于需要满足早期检测、低侵入性和低成本价值的新诊断方法,生物集成设备,特别是生物传感器的使用正成为技术研究的方向。实现这一目标所需的知识范围很广,从生物化学到电子学,并在电子学的一个新兴分支——蛋白质textit{电子学中}得到了总结。蛋白电子学在这里被应用于对来自1型和2型视蛋白的电反应进行比较分析。特别是,该方法被用于对最近发现的视蛋白家族的早期研究,即蓝光激活的变形视紫红质(BPRs)。结果揭示了两个家族的蛋白质之间一些有趣和意想不到的相似之处,这表明全球电反应与阶级身份并不严格相关。

Can pseudocomplementary peptide nucleic acid nucleases (pcPNANs) be a new tool for genetic engineering 伪互补肽核酸核酸酶(pcPNANs)能否成为基因工程的新工具

Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) comprise a powerful class of tools that are redefining the boundaries of biological research. Although these technologies have begun to enable targeted genome modifications, there remains a need for new technologies that are scalable, affordable, and easy to engineer. In this paper, we propose a new tool for genetic engineering, the pseudocomplementary peptide nucleic acid nucleases (pcPNANs), which are composed of a pseudocomplementary PNA (pcPNA) specific for a DNA target sequence, a FokI nuclease cleavage domain and a nuclear localization signal. pcPNANs may induce targeted DNA double-strand breaks that activate DNA damage response pathways and enable custom alterations. Their cleavage-site is determined by simple Watson-Crick rule, and thus pcPNANs for aimed cleavage of genomes can be straightforwardly designed and synthesized without any selection procedure. Accordingly, the cleavage-site and site-specificity are freely chosen by changing the sequences and the lengths of pcPNA strands. We believe that the potentiality of pcPNAN as a new tool for genetic engineering will be confirmed in the future.
锌指核酸酶(ZFNs)和转录激活因子样效应核酸酶(TALENs)构成了一类强大的工具,正在重新定义生物学研究的边界。尽管这些技术已经开始实现有针对性的基因组修饰,但仍然需要可扩展、负担得起且易于设计的新技术。本文提出了一种新的基因工程工具——伪互补肽核酸核酸酶(pcPNANs),它由DNA靶序列特异性的伪互补PNA (pcPNA)、FokI核酸酶切割结构域和核定位信号组成。pcPNANs可以诱导靶向DNA双链断裂,激活DNA损伤反应途径并实现自定义改变。它们的切割位点由简单的沃森-克里克规则确定,因此可以直接设计和合成用于基因组定向切割的pcPNANs,而不需要任何选择程序。因此,通过改变pcPNA链的序列和长度,可以自由选择裂解位点和位点特异性。我们相信pcPNAN作为基因工程新工具的潜力将在未来得到证实。

Effect of ionic ordering in conductivity experiments of DNA aqueous solutions 离子排序对DNA水溶液电导率实验的影响

The effects of ionic ordering in DNA water solutions are studied by conductivity experiments. The conductivity measurements are performed for the solutions of DNA with KCl salt in the temperature range from 28 to 70 C. Salt concentration vary from 0 to 2 M. The conductivity of solutions without DNA but with the same concentration of KCl salt are also performed. The results show that in case of salt free solution of DNA the melting process of the double helix is observed, while in case of DNA solution with added salt the macromolecule denaturation is not featured. For salt concentrations lower than some critical one (0.4 M) the conductivity of DNA solution is higher than the conductivity of KCl water solution without DNA. Starting from the critical concentration the conductivity of KCl solution is higher than the conductivity of DNA solution with added salt. For description of the experimental data phenomenological model is elaborated basing on electrolyte theory. In framework of the developed model a mechanism of counterion ordering is introduced. According to this mechanism under the low salt concentrations electrical conductivity of the system is caused by counterions of DNA ion-hydrate shell. Increasing the amount of salt to the critical concentration counterions condense on DNA polyanion. Further increase of salt concentration leads to the formation of DNA-salt complexes that decreases the conductivity of the system.
通过电导率实验,研究了DNA水溶液中离子有序度的影响。对含KCl盐的DNA溶液在28 ~ 70℃温度范围内的电导率进行了测量,盐浓度在0 ~ 2m范围内变化,对不含DNA但具有相同KCl盐浓度的溶液的电导率也进行了测量。结果表明,在无盐DNA溶液中观察到双螺旋结构的熔融过程,而在加盐DNA溶液中则没有大分子变性的特征。当盐浓度低于某个临界值(0.4 M)时,DNA溶液的电导率高于不含DNA的KCl水溶液的电导率。从临界浓度开始,KCl溶液的电导率高于添加盐的DNA溶液的电导率。为了描述实验数据,基于电解质理论建立了现象学模型。在建立的模型框架中,引入了反序机制。根据这一机制,在低盐浓度下,体系的电导率是由DNA离子水合物外壳的反离子引起的。增加盐的量,使其达到临界浓度,反离子在DNA聚阴离子上凝聚。盐浓度的进一步增加会导致dna -盐复合物的形成,从而降低系统的导电性。

Simplified flexibility analysis of proteins 简化蛋白质柔韧性分析
Pub Date : 2013-12-19 DOI: 10.1201/b17979-12

A simple way to get insights about the possible functional motions of a protein is to perform a normal mode analysis (NMA). Indeed, it has been shown that low-frequency modes thus obtained are often closely related to domain motions involved in protein function. Moreover, because protein low-frequency modes are known to be robust, NMA can be performed using coarse-grained models. As a consequence, it can be done for large ensembles of conformations as well as for large systems, like the ribosome, whole virus capsids, etc. Unexpectedly, on the high-frequency side, modes obtained with cutoff-based coarse-grained models also seem able to provide useful insights on protein dynamical properties.
了解蛋白质可能的功能运动的一种简单方法是进行正常模式分析(NMA)。事实上,研究表明,由此获得的低频模式往往与蛋白质功能中涉及的结构域运动密切相关。此外,由于已知蛋白质低频模式具有鲁棒性,因此可以使用粗粒度模型进行NMA。因此,它既可以用于大型构象集合,也可以用于大型系统,如核糖体、整个病毒衣壳等。出乎意料的是,在高频方面,使用基于截止的粗粒度模型获得的模式似乎也能够提供有关蛋白质动力学特性的有用见解。

The rapid worldwide spread of severe viral infections, often involving novel modifications of viruses, poses major challenges to our health care systems. This means that tools that can efficiently and specifically diagnose viruses are much needed. To be relevant for a broad application in local health care centers, such tools should be relatively cheap and easy to use. Here we discuss the biophysical potential for the macroscopic detection of viruses based on the induction of a mechanical stress in a bundle of pre-stretched DNA molecules upon binding of viruses to the DNA. We show that the affinity of the DNA to the charged virus surface induces a local melting of the double-helix into two single-stranded DNA. This process effects a mechanical stress along the DNA chains leading to an overall contraction of the DNA. Our results suggest that when such DNA bundles are incorporated in a supporting matrix such as a responsive hydrogel, the presence of viruses may indeed lead to a significant, macroscopic mechanical deformation of the matrix. We discuss the biophysical basis for this effect and characterize the physical properties of the associated DNA melting transition. In particular, we reveal several scaling relations between the relevant physical parameters of the system. We promote this DNA-based assay for efficient and specific virus screening.
严重病毒感染在世界范围内的迅速传播,往往涉及病毒的新修饰,对我们的卫生保健系统提出了重大挑战。这意味着非常需要能够有效和专门诊断病毒的工具。为了在当地卫生保健中心广泛应用,这些工具应该相对便宜且易于使用。在这里,我们讨论了基于在病毒与DNA结合时在一束预拉伸DNA分子中诱导机械应力的宏观检测病毒的生物物理潜力。我们发现,DNA与带电病毒表面的亲和力诱导了双螺旋结构的局部熔化,形成了两条单链DNA。这个过程对DNA链产生机械应力,导致DNA整体收缩。我们的研究结果表明,当这样的DNA束被纳入一个支持基质,如反应性水凝胶时,病毒的存在确实可能导致基质发生重大的宏观机械变形。我们讨论了这种效应的生物物理基础,并描述了相关DNA熔化转变的物理性质。特别地,我们揭示了系统相关物理参数之间的几个标度关系。我们推广这种基于dna的检测方法,用于高效和特异性的病毒筛选。

In the present study, the origin of the anti-quorum sensing (QS) activities of several members of a recently synthesized and in vitro tested class of lactone and thiolactone based inhibitors were computationally investigated. Docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and binding free energy calculations were carried out to reveal the exact binding and inhibitory profiles of these compounds. The higher in vitro activity of the lactone series relative to their thiolactone isosteres was verified based on estimating the binding energies, the docking scores and monitoring the stability of the complexes produced in the MD simulations. The strong electrostatic contribution to the binding energies may be responsible for the higher inhibitory activity of the lactone with respect to the thiolactone series. The results of this study help to understand the anti-QS properties of lactone-based inhibitors and provide important information that may assist in the synthesis of novel QS inhibitors.

The conformational vibrations of Z-DNA with counterions are studied in framework of phenomenological model developed. The structure of left-handed double helix with counterions neutralizing the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA is considered as the ion-phosphate lattice. The frequencies and Raman intensities for the modes of Z-DNA with Na+ and Mg2+ ions are calculated, and the low-frequency Raman spectra are built. At the spectra range about the frequency 150 cm-1 new mode of ion-phosphate vibrations is found, which characterizes the vibrations of Mg2+ counterions. The results of our calculations show that the intensities of Z-DNA modes are sensitive to the concentration of magnesium counterions. The obtained results describe well the experimental Raman spectra of Z-DNA.

Stereochemistry of polypeptide conformation in coarse grained analysis 粗粒分析中多肽构象的立体化学
Pub Date : 2013-02-08 DOI: 10.1142/9789814449144_0011

The conformations available to polypeptides are determined by the interatomic forces acting on the peptide units, whereby backbone torsion angles are restricted as described by the Ramachandran plot. Although typical proteins are composed predominantly from {alpha}-helices and {beta}-sheets, they nevertheless adopt diverse tertiary structure, each folded as dictated by its unique amino-acid sequence. Despite such uniqueness, however, the functioning of many proteins involves changes between quite different conformations. The study of large-scale conformational changes, particularly in large systems, is facilitated by a coarse-grained representation such as provided by virtually bonded C{alpha} atoms. We have developed a virtual atom molecular mechanics (VAMM) force field to describe conformational dynamics in proteins and a VAMM-based algorithm for computing conformational transition pathways. Here we describe the stereochemical analysis of proteins in this coarse-grained representation, comparing the relevant plots in coarse-grained conformational space to the corresponding Ramachandran plots, having contoured each at levels determined statistically from residues in a large database. The distributions shown for an all-{alpha} protein, two all-{beta} proteins and one {alpha}+{beta} protein serve to relate the coarse-grained distributions to the familiar Ramachandran plot.
多肽的构象是由作用在肽单元上的原子间作用力决定的,因此主链扭转角受到拉马钱德兰图所描述的限制。虽然典型的蛋白质主要由{alpha} -螺旋和{beta} -薄片组成,但它们仍然采用不同的三级结构,每种结构都按照其独特的氨基酸序列折叠。然而,尽管有这样的独特性,许多蛋白质的功能涉及到不同构象之间的变化。大规模构象变化的研究,特别是在大型系统中,可以通过虚拟键合C {alpha}原子提供的粗粒度表示来促进。我们开发了一个虚拟原子分子力学力场来描述蛋白质的构象动力学,并开发了一个基于虚拟原子分子力学力场的计算构象转变途径的算法。在这里,我们描述了这种粗粒度表示中蛋白质的立体化学分析,将粗粒度构象空间中的相关图与相应的Ramachandran图进行比较,并在大型数据库中的残基统计确定的水平上对每个图进行轮廓。一个全{alpha}蛋白、两个全{beta}蛋白和一个{alpha} + {beta}蛋白的分布将粗粒度分布与熟悉的Ramachandran图联系起来。

Although typical proteins are composed predominantly from {alpha}-helices and {beta}-sheets, they nevertheless adopt diverse tertiary structure, each folded as dictated by its unique amino-acid sequence. Despite such uniqueness, however, the functioning of many proteins involves changes between quite different conformations. The study of large-scale conformational changes, particularly in large systems, is facilitated by a coarse-grained representation such as provided by virtually bonded C{alpha} atoms. We have developed a virtual atom molecular mechanics (VAMM) force field to describe conformational dynamics in proteins and a VAMM-based algorithm for computing conformational transition pathways. Here we describe the stereochemical analysis of proteins in this coarse-grained representation, comparing the relevant plots in coarse-grained conformational space to the corresponding Ramachandran plots, having contoured each at levels determined statistically from residues in a large database. The distributions shown for an all-{alpha} protein, two all-{beta} proteins and one {alpha}+{beta} protein serve to relate the coarse-grained distributions to the familiar Ramachandran plot.","PeriodicalId":8447,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Biomolecules","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80021268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
