Abstract
S100B is frequently elevated in malignant melanoma. A regulatory mechanism was uncovered here in which elevated S100B lowers mRNA and secreted protein levels of interleukin-6 (IL6) and inhibits an autocrine loop whereby IL6 activates STAT3 signaling. Our results showed that S100B affects IL6 expression transcriptionally. S100B was shown to form a calcium-dependent protein complex with the p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), which in turn sequesters RSK into the cytoplasm. Consistently, S100B inhibition was found to restore phosphorylation of a nuclear located RSK substrate, CREB, which is a potent transcription factor for IL6 expression. Thus, elevated S100B reduces IL6-STAT3 signaling via RSK signaling pathway in malignant melanoma. Indeed, the elevated S100B levels in malignant melanoma cell lines correspond to low levels of IL6 and p-STAT3.

Abstract
S100A14 is one of the new members of the multi-functional S100 protein family. Expression of S100A14 is highly heterogeneous among normal human tissues, suggesting that the regulation of S100A14 expression and its function may be tissue- and context-specific. Compared to the normal counterparts, S100A14 mRNA and protein levels have been found to be deregulated in several cancer types, indicating a functional link between S100A14 and malignancies. Accordingly, S100A14 is functionally linked with a number of key signaling molecules such as p53, p21, MMP1, MMP9, MMP13, RAGE, NF-kB, JunB, actin and HER2. Of interest, S100A14 seems to have seemingly opposite functions in malignancies arising from the gastrointestional tract (tissues rich in epithelial components) compared to cancers in the other parts of the body (tissues rich in mesenchymal components). The underlying mechanism for these observations are currently unclear and may be related to the relative abundance and differences in the type of interaction partners (effector protein) in different cancer types and tissues. In addition, several studies indicate that the expression pattern of S100A14 has a potential to be clinically useful as prognostic biomarker in several cancer types. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive summary on the expression pattern and functional roles/related molecular pathways in different cancer types. Additionally, the prognostic potential of S100A14 in the management of human malignancies will be discussed.

Abstract
S100A1 is a member of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins and regulates several cellular processes, including those involved in Ca2+ signaling and cardiac and skeletal muscle function. In Alzheimer's disease, brain S100A1 is overexpressed and gives rise to disease pathologies, making it a potential therapeutic target. The 2.25 Å resolution crystal structure of Ca2+-S100A1 is solved here and is compared with the structures of other S100 proteins, most notably S100B, which is a highly homologous S100-family member that is implicated in the progression of malignant melanoma. The observed structural differences in S100A1 versus S100B provide insights regarding target protein-binding specificity and for targeting these two S100 proteins in human diseases using structure-based drug-design approaches.

Abstract
The vast diversity of S100 proteins has demonstrated a multitude of biological correlations with cell growth, cell differentiation and cell survival in numerous physiological and pathological conditions in all cells of the body. This review summarises some of the reported regulatory functions of S100 proteins (namely S100A1, S100A2, S100A4, S100A6, S100A7, S100A8/S100A9, S100A10, S100A11, S100A12, S100B and S100P) on cellular migration and invasion, established in both culture and animal model systems and the possible mechanisms that have been proposed to be responsible. These mechanisms involve intracellular events and components of the cytoskeletal organisation (actin/myosin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules) as well as extracellular signalling at different cell surface receptors (RAGE and integrins). Finally, we shall attempt to demonstrate how aberrant expression of the S100 proteins may lead to pathological events and human disorders and furthermore provide a rationale to possibly explain why the expression of some of the S100 proteins (mainly S100A4 and S100P) has led to conflicting results on motility, depending on the cells used.

Abstract
The S100 protein family consists of 24 members functionally distributed into three main subgroups: those that only exert intracellular regulatory effects, those with intracellular and extracellular functions and those which mainly exert extracellular regulatory effects. S100 proteins are only expressed in vertebrates and show cell-specific expression patterns. In some instances, a particular S100 protein can be induced in pathological circumstances in a cell type that does not express it in normal physiological conditions. Within cells, S100 proteins are involved in aspects of regulation of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, Ca2+ homeostasis, energy metabolism, inflammation and migration/invasion through interactions with a variety of target proteins including enzymes, cytoskeletal subunits, receptors, transcription factors and nucleic acids. Some S100 proteins are secreted or released and regulate cell functions in an autocrine and paracrine manner via activation of surface receptors (e.g. the receptor for advanced glycation end-products and toll-like receptor 4), G-protein-coupled receptors, scavenger receptors, or heparan sulfate proteoglycans and N-glycans. Extracellular S100A4 and S100B also interact with epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor, respectively, thereby enhancing the activity of the corresponding receptors. Thus, extracellular S100 proteins exert regulatory activities on monocytes/macrophages/microglia, neutrophils, lymphocytes, mast cells, articular chondrocytes, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells, neurons, astrocytes, Schwann cells, epithelial cells, myoblasts and cardiomyocytes, thereby participating in innate and adaptive immune responses, cell migration and chemotaxis, tissue development and repair, and leukocyte and tumor cell invasion.

Abstract
The S100 protein family consists of small, dimeric proteins that exert their biological functions in response to changing calcium concentrations. S100B is the best-studied member and has been shown to interact with more than 20 binding partners in a calcium-dependent manner. The TRTK12 peptide, derived from the consensus binding sequence for S100B, has previously been found to interact with S100A1 and has been proposed to be a general binding partner of the S100 family. To test this hypothesis and gain a better understanding of the specificity of binding for the S100 proteins, 16 members of the human S100 family were screened against this peptide and its alanine variants. Novel interactions were found with only two family members, S100P and S100A2, indicating that TRTK12 selectively interacts with a small subset of the S100 proteins. Substantial promiscuity was observed in the binding site of S100B thereby accommodating variations in the peptide sequence, while S100A1, S100A2, and S100P exhibited larger differences in the binding constants for the TRTK12 alanine variants. This suggests that single-point substitutions can be used to selectively modulate the affinity of TRTK12 peptides for individual S100 proteins. This study has important implications for the rational drug design of inhibitors for the S100 proteins, which are involved in a variety of cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND S100A1 protein is a proposed target of molecule-guided therapy for heart failure. RESULTS S-Nitrosylation of S100A1 is present in cells, increases Ca(2+) binding, and tunes the overall protein conformation. CONCLUSION Thiol-aromatic molecular switch is responsible for NO-related modification of S100A1 properties. SIGNIFICANCE Post-translational S-nitrosylation may provide functional diversity and specificity to S100A1 and other S100 protein family members. S100A1 is a member of the Ca(2+)-binding S100 protein family. It is expressed in brain and heart tissue, where it plays a crucial role as a modulator of Ca(2+) homeostasis, energy metabolism, neurotransmitter release, and contractile performance. Biological effects of S100A1 have been attributed to its direct interaction with a variety of target proteins. The (patho)physiological relevance of S100A1 makes it an important molecular target for future therapeutic intervention. S-Nitrosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins, which plays a role in cellular signal transduction under physiological and pathological conditions. In this study, we confirmed that S100A1 protein is endogenously modified by Cys(85) S-nitrosylation in PC12 cells, which are a well established model system for studying S100A1 function. We used isothermal calorimetry to show that S-nitrosylation facilitates the formation of Ca(2+)-loaded S100A1 at physiological ionic strength conditions. To establish the unique influence of the S-nitroso group, our study describes high resolution three-dimensional structures of human apo-S100A1 protein with the Cys(85) thiol group in reduced and S-nitrosylated states. Solution structures of the proteins are based on NMR data obtained at physiological ionic strength. Comparative analysis shows that S-nitrosylation fine tunes the overall architecture of S100A1 protein. Although the typical S100 protein intersubunit four-helix bundle is conserved upon S-nitrosylation, the conformation of S100A1 protein is reorganized at the sites most important for target recognition (i.e. the C-terminal helix and the linker connecting two EF-hand domains). In summary, this study discloses cysteine S-nitrosylation as a new factor responsible for increasing functional diversity of S100A1 and helps explain the role of S100A1 as a Ca(2+) signal transmitter sensitive to NO/redox equilibrium within cells.

Abstract
S100B is a member of the S100 subfamily of EF-hand proteins that has been implicated in malignant melanoma and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Calcium-induced conformational changes expose a hydrophobic binding cleft, facilitating interactions with a wide variety of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and extracellular target proteins. Previously, peptides derived from CapZ, p53, NDR, HDM2, and HDM4 have been shown to interact with S100B in a calcium-dependent manner. However, the thermodynamic and kinetic basis of these interactions remains largely unknown. To gain further insight, we screened these peptides against the S100B protein using isothermal titration calorimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance. All peptides were found to have binding affinities in the low micromolar to nanomolar range. Binding-induced changes in the line shapes of S100B backbone (1)H and (15)N resonances were monitored to obtain the dissociation constants and the kinetic binding parameters. The large microscopic K(on) rate constants observed in this study (≥1 × 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)) suggest that S100B utilizes a "fly casting mechanism" in the recognition of these peptide targets.

Abstract
The S100 proteins are 10-12 kDa EF-hand proteins that act as central regulators in a multitude of cellular processes including cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and motility. Consequently, many S100 proteins are implicated and display marked changes in their expression levels in many types of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The structure and function of S100 proteins are modulated by metal ions via Ca(2+) binding through EF-hand motifs and binding of Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) at additional sites, usually at the homodimer interfaces. Ca(2+) binding modulates S100 conformational opening and thus promotes and affects the interaction with p53, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and Toll-like receptor 4, among many others. Structural plasticity also occurs at the quaternary level, where several S100 proteins self-assemble into multiple oligomeric states, many being functionally relevant. Recently, we have found that the S100A8/A9 proteins are involved in amyloidogenic processes in corpora amylacea of prostate cancer patients, and undergo metal-mediated amyloid oligomerization and fibrillation in vitro. Here we review the unique chemical and structural properties of S100 proteins that underlie the conformational changes resulting in their oligomerization upon metal ion binding and ultimately in functional control. The possibility that S100 proteins have intrinsic amyloid-forming capacity is also addressed, as well as the hypothesis that amyloid self-assemblies may, under particular physiological conditions, affect the S100 functions within the cellular milieu.

Abstract
The relevance of p53 as a tumour suppressor is evident from the fact that more than 50% of the human cancers hold mutations in the gene coding for p53, and of the remaining cancers a considerable number have alterations in the p53 pathway. From its discovery 30 years ago, the importance of p53 as an essential transcription factor for tumour suppression has become clear. More recently, new and seemingly diverse roles of p53 have been discovered. It soon became clear that protein-protein interactions play an important role in the regulation of the p53 function at different levels. Here we review the contribution by Prof. Fersht and his group towards understanding the basis and functional relevance of p53 protein-protein interactions, and the important role that protein science, biophysics and structural biology have played in the science produced in the Centre for Protein Engineering over the years.

Abstract
S100B is a calcium signaling protein that is a member of the S100 protein family. An important feature of S100B and most other S100 proteins (S100s) is that they often bind Ca2+ ions relatively weakly in the absence of a protein target; upon binding their target proteins, Ca2+-binding then increases by as much as from 200- to 400-fold. This manuscript reviews the structural basis and physiological significance of increased Ca2+-binding affinity in the presence of protein targets. New information regarding redundancy among family members and the structural domains that mediate the interaction of S100B, and other S100s, with their targets is also presented. It is the diversity among individual S100s, the protein targets that they interact with, and the Ca2+ dependency of these protein-protein interactions that allow S100s to transduce changes in [Ca2+]intracellular levels into spatially and temporally unique biological responses.

Abstract
As is typical for S100-target protein interactions, a Ca 2+-dependent conformational change in S100A1 is required to bind to a 12-residue peptide (TRTK12) derived from the actin-capping protein CapZ. In addition, the Ca 2+-binding affinity of S100A1 is found to be tightened (greater than threefold) when TRTK12 is bound. To examine the biophysical basis for these observations, we determined the solution NMR structure of TRTK12 in a complex with Ca 2+-loaded S100A1. When bound to S100A1, TRTK12 forms an amphipathic helix (residues N6 to S12) with several favorable hydrophobic interactions observed between W7, I10, and L11 of the peptide and a well-defined hydrophobic binding pocket in S100A1 that is only present in the Ca 2+-bound state. Next, the structure of S100A1-TRTK12 was compared to that of another S100A1-target complex (i.e., S100A1-RyRP12), which illustrated how the binding pocket in Ca 2+-S100A1 can accommodate peptide targets with varying amino acid sequences. Similarities and differences were observed when the structures of S100A1-TRTK12 and S100B-TRTK12 were compared, providing insights regarding how more than one S100 protein can interact with the same peptide target. Such comparisons, including those with other S100-target and S100-drug complexes, provide the basis for designing novel small-molecule inhibitors that could be specific for blocking one or more S100-target protein interactions.

Abstract
S100A1 is a member of the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins. As with most S100 proteins, S100A1 undergoes a large conformational change upon binding calcium as necessary to interact with numerous protein targets. Targets of S100A1 include proteins involved in calcium signaling (ryanidine receptors 1 & 2, Serca2a, phopholamban), neurotransmitter release (synapsins I & II), cytoskeletal and filament associated proteins (CapZ, microtubules, intermediate filaments, tau, mocrofilaments, desmin, tubulin, F-actin, titin, and the glial fibrillary acidic protein GFAP), transcription factors and their regulators (e.g. myoD, p53), enzymes (e.g. aldolase, phosphoglucomutase, malate dehydrogenase, glycogen phosphorylase, photoreceptor guanyl cyclases, adenylate cyclases, glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, twitchin kinase, Ndr kinase, and F1 ATP synthase), and other Ca2+-activated proteins (annexins V & VI, S100B, S100A4, S100P, and other S100 proteins). There is also a growing interest in developing inhibitors of S100A1 since they may be beneficial for treating a variety of human diseases including neurological diseases, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and several types of cancer. The absence of significant phenotypes in S100A1 knockout mice provides some early indication that an S100A1 antagonist could have minimal side effects in normal tissues. However, development of S100A1-mediated therapies is complicated by S100A1's unusual ability to function as both an intracellular signaling molecule and as a secreted protein. Additionally, many S100A1 protein targets have only recently been identified, and so fully characterizing both these S100A1-target complexes and their resulting functions is a necessary prerequisite.

Abstract
S100B is one of the best-characterized members of the calcium-signaling S100 protein family. Most S100 proteins are dimeric, with each monomer containing two EF-hand calcium-binding sites (EF1, EF2). S100B and other S100 proteins respond to calcium increases in the cell by coordinating calcium and undergoing a conformational change that allows them to interact with a variety of cellular targets. Although several three dimensional structures of S100 proteins are available in the calcium-free (apo-) state it has been observed that these structures appear to adopt a wide range of conformations in the EF2 site with respect to the positioning of helix III, the helix that undergoes the most dramatic calcium-induced conformational change. In this work, we have determined the structure of human apo-S100B at 10 degrees C to examine whether temperature might be responsible for these structural differences. Further, we have used this data, and other available apo-S100 structures, to show that despite the range of interhelical angles adopted in the apo-S100 structures, normal Gaussian distributions about the mean angles found in the structure of human apo-S100B are observed. This finding, only obvious from the analysis of all available apo-S100 proteins, provides direct structural evidence that helix III is a loosely packed helix. This is likely a necessary functional property of the S100 proteins that facilitates the calcium-induced conformational change of helix III. In contrast, the calcium-bound structures of the S100 proteins show significantly smaller variability in the interhelical angles. This shows that calcium binding to the S100 proteins causes not only a conformational change but results in a tighter distribution of helices within the EF2 calcium binding site required for target protein interactions.

Abstract
The Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) is a multi-ligand receptor of the immunoglobulin family. RAGE interacts with structurally different ligands probably through the oligomerization of the receptor on the cell surface. However, the exact mechanism is unknown. Among RAGE ligands are members of the S100 protein family. S100 proteins are small calcium binding proteins with high structural homology. Several members of the family have been shown to interact with RAGE in vitro or in cell-based assays. Interestingly, many RAGE ligands appear to interact with distinct domains of the extracellular portion of RAGE and to trigger various cellular effects. In this review, we summarize the modes of S100 protein-RAGE interaction with regard to their cellular functions.

Abstract
p53 binds to some members of the S100 family (S100B, S100A4, S100A2, and S100A1). We previously showed that both S100B and S100A4 bind to the p53 tetramerization domain, and consequently control its oligomerization state, but only S100B binds to the C-terminal negative regulatory domain (NRD). Here, we investigate other binding partners for p53 within the S100 family (S100A6 and S100A11), and show that binding to the p53 tetramerization domain seems to be a general feature of the S100 family, while binding to the NRD is a characteristic of a subset of the family.

Abstract
S100A4 (metastasin) is a member of the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins that is directly involved in tumorigenesis. Until recently, the only structural information available was the solution NMR structure of the inactive calcium-free form of the protein. Here we report the crystal structure of human S100A4 in the active calcium-bound state at 2.03 A resolution that was solved by molecular replacement in the space group P6(5) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit from perfectly merohedrally twinned crystals. The Ca(2+)-bound S100A4 structure reveals a large conformational change in the three-dimensional structure of the dimeric S100A4 protein upon calcium binding. This calcium-dependent conformational change opens up a hydrophobic binding pocket that is capable of binding to target proteins such as annexin A2, the tumor-suppressor protein p53 and myosin IIA. The structure of the active form of S100A4 provides insight into its interactions with its binding partners and a better understanding of its role in metastasis.

Abstract
S100B protein is one of the factors involved in the down-regulation of tumor suppressor protein p53, a transcription activator that signals for cycle arrest and apoptosis. As the inactivation of normal p53 functions is found in over half of human cancers, restoration of normal p53 functions through the destruction or prevention of S100B--p53 complexes represents a possible approach for the development of anti-cancer drugs. The aim of this work was to propose the S100B binding interface through an examination of the literature and use of molecular modeling (MM) techniques with AutoDock program and the AMBER force field. We propose two residues in the S100B binding pocket (Val56, Phe76) and two residues on the protein surface (Val52, Ala83) are essential for ligand binding. The data presented here indicate that interactions with these four residues are necessary for a reduction in the incidence of the S100B--p53 complex. Additionally, we have tried to explain a mechanism for the action of pentamidine, the best-known S100B ligand, and have proposed two S100B--pentamidine structures. The results presented here may be useful for the efficient design of new S100B ligands.

Abstract
The S100 proteins comprise at least 25 members, forming the largest group of EF-hand signalling proteins in humans. Although the proteins are expressed in many tissues, each S100 protein has generally been shown to have a preference for expression in one particular tissue or cell type. Three-dimensional structures of several S100 family members have shown that the proteins assume a dimeric structure consisting of two EF-hand motifs per monomer. Calcium binding to these S100 proteins, with the exception of S100A10, results in an approx. 40 degrees alteration in the position of helix III, exposing a broad hydrophobic surface that enables the S100 proteins to interact with a variety of target proteins. More than 90 potential target proteins have been documented for the S100 proteins, including the cytoskeletal proteins tubulin, glial fibrillary acidic protein and F-actin, which have been identified mostly from in vitro experiments. In the last 5 years, efforts have concentrated on quantifying the protein interactions of the S100 proteins, identifying in vivo protein partners and understanding the molecular specificity for target protein interactions. Furthermore, the S100 proteins are the only EF-hand proteins that are known to form both homo- and hetero-dimers, and efforts are underway to determine the stabilities of these complexes and structural rationales for their formation and potential differences in their biological roles. This review highlights both the calcium-dependent and -independent interactions of the S100 proteins, with a focus on the structures of the complexes, differences and similarities in the strengths of the interactions, and preferences for homo- compared with hetero-dimeric S100 protein assembly.

Abstract
S100A1 is an EF-hand-containing Ca(2+)-binding protein that undergoes a conformational change upon binding calcium as is necessary to interact with protein targets and initiate a biological response. To better understand how calcium influences the structure and function of S100A1, the three-dimensional structure of calcium-bound S100A1 was determined by multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and compared to the previously determined structure of apo. In total, 3354 nuclear Overhauser effect-derived distance constraints, 240 dihedral constraints, 160 hydrogen bond constraints, and 362 residual dipolar coupling restraints derived from a series of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and four-dimensional NMR experiments were used in its structure determination (>21 constraints per residue). As with other dimeric S100 proteins, S100A1 is a symmetric homodimer with helices 1, 1', 4, and 4' associating into an X-type four-helix bundle at the dimer interface. Within each subunit there are four alpha-helices and a short antiparallel beta-sheet typical of two helix-loop-helix EF-hand calcium-binding domains. The addition of calcium did not change the interhelical angle of helices 1 and 2 in the pseudo EF-hand significantly; however, there was a large reorientation of helix 3 in the typical EF-hand. The large conformational change exposes a hydrophobic cleft, defined by residues in the hinge region, the C terminus, and regions of helix 3, which are important for the interaction between S100A1 and a peptide (TRTK-12) derived from the actin-capping protein CapZ.

Abstract
1. Stellation of astrocytes in culture involves a complex rearrangement of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, which reflects in part the plasticity of these cells observed during development or after injury. 2. An astrocytic calcium-binding protein, S100B, has been implicated in the regulation of plasticity due to its ability to interact with cytoskeletal proteins. 3. We used digitonin-permeabilized astrocytes to introduce TRTK-12, a peptide that binds to the C-terminal of S100B and blocks its interaction with cytoskeletal proteins. 4. TRTK-12 was able to block cAMP-induced astrocyte stellation and this effect was dependent on the concentration of the peptide. These results support the idea that S100B has a modulatory role on astrocyte morphology.

Abstract
NDR, a nuclear serine/threonine kinase, belongs to the subfamily of Dbf2 kinases that is critical to the morphology and proliferation of cells. The activity of NDR kinase is modulated in a Ca(2+)/S100B-dependent manner by phosphorylation of Ser281 in the catalytic domain and Thr444 in the C-terminal regulatory domain. S100B, which is a member of the S100 subfamily of EF-hand proteins, binds to a basic/hydrophobic sequence at the junction of the N-terminal regulatory and catalytic domains (NDR(62-87)). Unlike calmodulin-dependent kinases, regulation of NDR by S100B is not associated with direct autoinhibition of the active site, but rather involves a conformational change in the catalytic domain triggered by Ca(2+)/S100B binding to the junction region. To gain further insight into the mechanism of activation of the kinase, studies have been carried out on Ca(2+)/S100B in complex with the intact N-terminal regulatory domain, NDR(1-87). Multidimensional heteronuclear NMR analysis showed that the binding mode and stoichiometry of a peptide fragment of NDR (NDR(62-87)) is the same as for the intact N-terminal regulatory domain. The solution structure of Ca(2+)/S100B and NDR(62-87) has been determined. One target molecule is found to associate with each subunit of the S100B dimer. The peptide adopts three turns of helix in the bound state, and the complex is stabilized by both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. These structural studies, in combination with available biochemical data, have been used to develop a model for calcium-induced activation of NDR kinase by S100B.

Abstract
Memory consolidation in mammalian brain is accompanied by widespread reorganization of synaptic contacts and dendritic structure. Understanding of the protein-protein interactions that underlie these structural changes has been hampered by the difficulty of studying protein-protein interactions produced in vivo by signaling, learning, and other physiological responses using current methodologies. Using a novel technique that separates interacting proteins from noninteracting proteins on the basis of their protein-target affinity, we identified 16 proteins for which protein-target binding is altered in vivo by spatial learning, including stathmin, complexin I, 14-3-3, and several structural proteins including F-actin capping protein, tubulin, GFAP, and actin. Interactions between complexin and its targets (p25alpha and Drac1-like protein) and the interaction between CapZ and tubulin were calcium-dependent. The preponderance of structural proteins and proteins involved in synapse formation and reorganization of growth cones among proteins undergoing memory-specific changes in protein-protein interactions suggests that synaptic structural reorganization is a predominant feature of the consolidation phase of memory.

Abstract
S100A11 is a homodimeric EF-hand calcium binding protein that undergoes a calcium-induced conformational change and interacts with the phospholipid binding protein annexin I to coordinate membrane association. In this work, the solution structure of apo-S100A11 has been determined by NMR spectroscopy to uncover the details of its calcium-induced structural change. Apo-S100A11 forms a tight globular structure having a near antiparallel orientation of helices III and IV in calcium binding site II. Further, helices I and IV, and I and I', form a more closed arrangement than observed in other apo-S100 proteins. This helix arrangement in apo-S100A11 partially buries residues in helices I (P3, E11, A15), III (V55, R58, M59), and IV (A86, C87, S90) and the linker (A45, F46), which are required for interaction with annexin I in the calcium-bound state. In apo-S100A11, this results in a "masked" binding surface that prevents annexin I binding but is uncovered upon calcium binding.

Abstract
S100 proteins have no known enzymatic activity and exert their intracellular effects via interaction with and regulation of the activity of other proteins, termed target proteins, in both a Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent manner. Structural studies have identified the linker region between the two EF-hand Ca(2+) binding domains and the C-terminus as Ca(2+)-dependent target protein binding sites in several S100 family members. In fact, C-terminal aromatic residues are obligatory for interaction of S100A1 with several of its Ca(2+)-dependent target proteins. Pharmacological studies suggest the presence of additional Ca(2+)-dependent binding motifs on some family members. A minimum of seven family members interact with and regulate the activity of aldolase A in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. In the case of S100A1, Ca(2+)-independent target protein interactions utilize a binding motif distinct from the C-terminal Ca(2+)-dependent target protein binding site. Several studies suggest that ionic interactions participate in the interaction of S100 family members with Ca(2+)-independent target proteins. While some target proteins are activated by multiple family members, other target proteins exhibit family member-specific activation, i.e., they are activated by a single family member. As predicted, family member specific interactions appear to be mediated by regions that exhibit the most divergence in amino acid sequence among family members, the linker or "hinge" region and the C terminus. Further specificity in S100-target protein interactions may arise from the different biochemical/biophysical properties of the individual family members, including affinity for metal ions (Ca(2+), Zn(2+), and Cu(2+)), oligomerization properties, heterodimerization, post-translational modifications, and lipid-binding. Delineation of the structural motifs that mediate S100-target protein interactions and determination of the in vivo relevance of these interactions are needed to fully understand the role of S100 proteins in normal and diseased cells.

Abstract
S100A11 is a member of a multigenic family of Ca(2+)-modulated proteins of the EF-hand type. We studied the subcellular localization of S100A11 in developing and adult avian skeletal muscle cells by confocal laser scanning microscopy and immunogold cytochemistry to get information about possible functional roles of this protein. Analyses of alpha-actinin, S100A1 and S100B were done in parallel for comparison. Low levels of S100A11 were found in skeletal muscle cells at embryonic day (E) 8. At E12, S100A11 was found in myotubes in the form of fine dots located between Z-discs, and on the sarcolemma and its invaginations. At E15, S100A11 was found on the sarcolemma and internal membranes, likely longitudinal tubules, where the protein was co-localized in part with S100A1 and S100B. At E18 and afterwards, co-localization of the three S100 proteins on internal membranes was almost complete. No evidence for association of S100A11 with the contractile elements of the sarcomeres was obtained. Our data suggests that, like S100A1 and S100B, S100A11 might have a role in the regulation of membrane activities, probably in relation to Ca(2+) fluxes in skeletal muscle cells.

Abstract
Annexins and S100 proteins constitute two multigenic families of Ca2+-modulated proteins that have been implicated in the regulation of both intracellular and extracellular activities. Some annexins can interact with certain S100 protein dimers thereby forming heterotetramers in which an S100 dimer crosslinks two copies of the partner annexin. It is suggested that S100 protein binding to an annexin might serve the function of regulating annexin function and annexin binding to an S100 protein might regulate S100 function. In the present study, annexin V, annexin VI (or ANXA5 and ANXA6, respectively, according to a novel nomenclature), S100A1 and S100B were analyzed for their subcellular localization in developing and adult avian skeletal muscles by confocal laser scanning microscopy, immunogold cytochemistry, and western blotting, and for their ability to form annexin-S100 heterocomplex in vivo by immunoprecipitation. These four proteins displayed distinct expression patterns, ANXA5 being the first to be expressed in myotubes (i.e. at embryonic day 8), followed by ANXA6 (at embryonic day 12) and S100A1 and S100B (between embryonic day 12 and embryonic day 15). The two annexins and the two S100 proteins were found associated to different extents with the sarcolemma, membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and putative transverse tubules where they appeared to be co-localized from embryonic day 18 onwards. No one of these proteins was found associated with the contractile apparatus of the sarcomeres. Immunoprecipitation studies indicated that ANXA6/S100A1 and ANXA6/S100B complexes formed in vivo. Whereas, ANXA5 was not recovered in S100A1 or S100B immunoprecipitates. From our data we suggest that: (i) ANXA5 and ANXA6, and S100A1 and S100B can be used as markers of skeletal muscle development; (ii) ANXA6 and S100A1 and S100B appear strategically located close to or on skeletal muscle membrane organelles that are critically involved in the regulation of Ca2+ fluxes, thus supporting previous in vitro observations implicating S100A1 and ANXA6 in the stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release; and (iii) ANXA6/S100A1 and ANXA6/S100B complexes can form in vivo thereby regulating each other activities and/or acting in concert to regulate membrane-associated activities.

Abstract
S100 proteins are a multigenic family of low-molecular-weight Ca(2+)-binding proteins comprising 19 members. These proteins undergo a conformational change by Ca(2+)-binding and consequently interact with their target proteins. Recently, we reported that two antiallergic drugs, Amlexanox and Cromolyn, bind to S100A12 and S100A13 of the S100 protein family. In the present study, we used a newly developed antiallergic drug, Olopatadine, as a ligand for affinity chromatography and examined binding specificity of the drug to S100 protein family. Olopatadine binds specifically to S100 proteins, such as S100A1, S100B, S100L, S100A12, and S100A13, in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner but not to calmodulin. Mutagenesis study showed that amino acid residues 76-85 in S100A1 are necessary for its binding to Olopatadine. In contrast, residues 89-94 were identified as an Amlexanox-binding site in S100A1. Moreover, Olopatadine did not competitively inhibit S100A1-binding site of Amlexanox. Furthermore, we showed that Olopatadine inhibited the binding of S100A1 target protein's binding site peptides to S100A1. These results indicate that C-terminal region of S100A1 is important for antiallergic drug binding, although the drug binding sites are different according to each antiallergic drug. Differences in the binding sites of S100A1 to antiallergic drugs suggest that the regulatory functions of S100 proteins may exist in several regions. Therefore, these drugs may serve as useful tools for evaluating the physiological significance of S100 protein family.

Abstract
S100A1, a member of the S100 protein family, is an EF-hand containing Ca(2+)-binding protein (93 residues per subunit) with noncovalent interactions at its dimer interface. Each subunit of S100A1 has four alpha-helices and a small antiparallel beta-sheet consistent with two helix-loop-helix calcium-binding domains [Baldiserri et al. (1999) J. Biomol. NMR 14, 87-88]. In this study, the three-dimensional structure of reduced apo-S100A1 was determined by NMR spectroscopy using a total of 2220 NOE distance constraints, 258 dihedral angle constraints, and 168 backbone hydrogen bond constraints derived from a series of 2D, 3D, and 4D NMR experiments. The final structure was found to be globular and compact with the four helices in each subunit aligning to form a unicornate-type four-helix bundle. Intermolecular NOE correlations were observed between residues in helices 1 and 4 from one subunit to residues in helices 1' and 4' of the other subunit, respectively, consistent with the antiparallel alignment of the two subunits to form a symmetric X-type four-helix bundle as found for other members of the S100 protein family. Because of the similarity of the S100A1 dimer interface to that found for S100B, it was possible to calculate a model of the S100A1/B heterodimer. This model is consistent with a number of NMR chemical shift changes observed when S100A1 is titrated into a sample of (15)N-labeled S100B. Helix 3 (and 3') of S100A1 was found to have an interhelical angle of -150 degrees with helix 4 (and 4') in the apo state. This crossing angle is quite different (>50 degrees ) from that typically found in other EF-hand containing proteins such as apocalmodulin and apotroponin C but more similar to apo-S100B, which has an interhelical angle of -166 degrees. As with S100B, it is likely that the second EF-hand of apo-S100A1 reorients dramatically upon the addition of Ca(2+), which can explain the Ca(2+) dependence that S100A1 has for binding several of its biological targets.

Abstract
Passive tension in striated muscles derives primarily from the extension of the giant protein titin. However, several studies have suggested that, in cardiac muscle, interactions between titin and actin might also contribute to passive tension. We expressed recombinant fragments representing the subdomains of the extensible region of cardiac N2B titin (tandem-Ig segments, the N2B splice element, and the PEVK domain), and assayed them for binding to F-actin. The PEVK fragment bound F-actin, but no binding was detected for the other fragments. Comparison with a skeletal muscle PEVK fragment revealed that only the cardiac PEVK binds actin at physiological ionic strengths. The significance of PEVK-actin interaction was investigated using in vitro motility and single-myocyte mechanics. As F-actin slid relative to titin in the motility assay, a dynamic interaction between the PEVK domain and F-actin retarded filament sliding. Myocyte results suggest that a similar interaction makes a significant contribution to the passive tension. We also investigated the effect of calcium on PEVK-actin interaction. Although calcium alone had no effect, S100A1, a soluble calcium-binding protein found at high concentrations in the myocardium, inhibited PEVK-actin interaction in a calcium-dependent manner. Gel overlay analysis revealed that S100A1 bound the PEVK region in vitro in a calcium-dependent manner, and S100A1 binding was observed at several sites along titin's extensible region in situ, including the PEVK domain. In vitro motility results indicate that S100A1-PEVK interaction reduces the force that arises as F-actin slides relative to the PEVK domain, and we speculate that S100A1 may provide a mechanism to free the thin filament from titin and reduce titin-based tension before active contraction.

Abstract
To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying cutaneous wound repair, we performed a large scale screen to identify novel injury-regulated genes. Here we show a strong up-regulation of the RNA and protein levels of the two Ca(2+)-binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9 in the hyperthickened epidermis of acute murine and human wounds and of human ulcers. Furthermore, both genes were expressed by inflammatory cells in the wound. The increased expression of S100A8 and S100A9 in wound keratinocytes is most likely related to the activated state of the keratinocytes and not secondary to the inflammation of the skin, since we also found up-regulation of S100A8 and S100A9 in the epidermis of activin-overexpressing mice, which develop a hyperproliferative and abnormally differentiated epidermis in the absence of inflammation. Furthermore, S100A8 and S100A9 expression was found to be associated with partially differentiated keratinocytes in vitro. Using confocal microscopy, both proteins were shown to be at least partially associated with the keratin cytoskeleton. In addition, cultured keratinocytes efficiently secreted the S100A8/A9 dimer. These results together with previously published data suggest that S100A8 and S100A9 are novel players in wound repair, where they might be involved in the reorganization of the keratin cytoskeleton in the wounded epidermis, in the chemoattraction of inflammatory cells, and/or in the defense against microorganisms.

Abstract
S100 is a multigenic family of non-ubiquitous Ca(2+)-modulated proteins of the EF-hand type expressed in vertebrates exclusively and implicated in intracellular and extracellular regulatory activities. Within cells, most of S100 members exist in the form of antiparallelly packed homodimers (in some cases heterodimers), capable of functionally crossbridging two homologous or heterologous target proteins in a Ca(2+)-dependent (and, in some instances, Ca(2+)-independent) manner. S100 oligomers can also form, under the non-reducing conditions found in the extracellular space and/or within cells upon changes in the cell redox status. Within cells, S100 proteins have been implicated in the regulation of protein phosphorylation, some enzyme activities, the dynamics of cytoskeleton components, transcription factors, Ca(2+) homeostasis, and cell proliferation and differentiation. Certain S100 members are released into the extracellular space by an unknown mechanism. Extracellular S100 proteins stimulate neuronal survival and/or differentiation and astrocyte proliferation, cause neuronal death via apoptosis, and stimulate (in some cases) or inhibit (in other cases) the activity of inflammatory cells. A cell surface receptor, RAGE, has been identified on inflammatory cells and neurons for S100A12 and S100B, which transduces S100A12 and S100B effects. It is not known whether RAGE is a universal S100 receptor, S100 members interact with other cell surface receptors, or S100 protein interaction with other extracellular factors specifies the biological effects of a given S100 protein on a target cell. The variety of intracellular target proteins of S100 proteins and, in some cases, of a single S100 protein, and the cell specificity of expression of certain S100 members suggest that these proteins might have a role in the fine regulation of effector proteins and/or specific steps of signaling pathways/cellular functions. Future analyses should discriminate between functionally relevant S100 interactions with target proteins and in vitro observations devoid of physiological importance.

Abstract
Backbone dynamics of homodimeric apo-S100B were studied by (15)N nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation at 9.4 and 14.1 T. Longitudinal relaxation (T(1)), transverse relaxation (T(2)), and the (15)N-[(1)H] NOE were measured for 80 of 91 backbone amide groups. Internal motional parameters were determined from the relaxation data using the model-free formalism while accounting for diffusion anisotropy. Rotational diffusion of the symmetric homodimer has moderate but statistically significant prolate axial anisotropy (D( parallel)/D( perpendicular) = 1.15 +/- 0.02), a global correlation time of tau(m) = 7.80 +/- 0.03 ns, and a unique axis in the plane normal to the molecular symmetry axis. Of 29 residues at the dimer interface (helices 1 and 4), only one has measurable internal motion (Q71), and the order parameters of the remaining 28 were the highest in the protein (S(2) = 0.80 to 0.91). Order parameters in the typical EF hand calcium-binding loop (S(2) = 0.73 to 0.87) were slightly lower than in the pseudo-EF hand (S(2) = 0.75 to 0.89), and effective internal correlation times, tau(e), distinct from global tumbling, were detected in the calcium-binding loops. Helix 3, which undergoes a large, calcium-induced conformational change necessary for target-protein binding, does not show evidence of interchanging between the apo and Ca(2+)-bound orientations in the absence of calcium but has rapid motion in several residues throughout the helix (S(2) = 0.78 to 0.88; 10 < or = tau(e) < or = 30 ps). The lowest order parameters were found in the C-terminal tail (S(2) = 0.62 to 0.83). Large values for chemical exchange also occur in this loop and in regions nearby in space to the highly mobile C-terminal loop, consistent with exchange broadening effects observed.

Abstract
S100A1 and S100B are members of a multigenic family of Ca(2+)-binding proteins of the EF-hand type highly abundant in astrocyte and striated muscle cells that have been implicated in the Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of several intracellular activities including the assembly and disassembly of microtubules and type III intermediate filaments. In the present work we tested S100A1 and S100B for their ability to cause microtubule and/or intermediate filament disassembly in situ using triton-cytoskeletons obtained from U251 glioma cells and rat L6 myoblasts. Our results indicate that: (i) both proteins cause a Ca(2+)-dependent disassembly of cytoplasmic microtubules in a dose-dependent manner; (ii) the S100A1- and S100B-inhibitory peptide, TRTK-12, blocks the S100A1 and S100B effects on microtubules; (iii) S100A1Delta88-93, an S100A1 mutant lacking the C-terminal extension, does not affect microtubule stability; and (iv) no obvious S100A1- or S100B-dependent intermediate filament disassembly could be observed under the experimental conditions used in the present study, but S100A1- and S100B-dependent microtubule disassembly results in a tendency of vimentin intermediate filaments to aggregate into bundles and/or to condense. Together, these results suggest that S100A1 and S100B probably cause microtubule disassembly by interacting with the microtubule wall, and that the two proteins do not affect intermediate filament stability via interaction with preformed intermediate filaments, in agreement with previous biochemical investigation. Our present data lend support to the possibility that S100A1 and S100B might have a role in the in vivo regulation of the state of assembly of microtubules in a Ca(2+)-regulated manner and, potentially, on microtubule-based activities in astrocytes and myoblasts. Also, these data suggest that the both S100 proteins use their C-terminal extension for interacting with microtubules.

Abstract
Amphoterin is a protein enhancing process extension and migration in embryonic neurons and in tumor cells through binding to receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), a multiligand transmembrane receptor. S100 proteins, especially S100B, are abundantly expressed in the nervous system and are suggested to function as cytokines with both neurotrophic and neurotoxic effects. However, the cell surface receptor for the cytokine function of S100B has not been identified. Here we show that two S100 family proteins, S100B and S100A1, activate RAGE in concert with amphoterin inducing neurite outgrowth and activation of transcription factor NF-kappaB. Furthermore, activation of RAGE by amphoterin and S100B promotes cell survival through increased expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. However, whereas nanomolar concentrations of S100B induce trophic effects in RAGE-expressing cells, micromolar concentrations of S100B induce apoptosis in an oxidant-dependent manner. Both trophic and toxic effects are specific for cells expressing full-length RAGE since cells expressing a cytoplasmic domain deletion mutant of RAGE are unresponsive to these stimuli. These findings suggest that activation of RAGE by multiple ligands is able to promote trophic effects whereas hyperactivation of RAGE signaling pathways promotes apoptosis. We suggest that RAGE is a signal-transducing receptor for both trophic and toxic effects of S100B.

Abstract
Members of the annexin protein family interact with members of the S100 protein family thereby forming heterotetramers in which an S100 homodimer crossbridges two copies of the pertinent annexin. Previous work has shown that S100A1 and S100B bind annexin VI in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and that annexin VI, but not annexin V, blocks the inhibitory effect of S100A1 and S100B on intermediate filament assembly. We show here that both halves of annexin VI (i.e., the N-terminal half or annexin VI-a and the C-terminal half or annexin VI-b) bind individual S100s on unique sites and that annexin VI-b, but not annexin VI-a, blocks the ability of S100A1 and S100B to inhibit intermediate filament assembly. We also show that the C-terminal extension of S100A1 (and, by analogy, S100B), that was previously demonstrated to be critical for S100A1 and S100B binding to several target proteins including intermediate filament subunits, is not part of the S100 surface implicated in the recognition of annexin VI, annexin VI-a, or annexin VI-b. Evaluation of functional properties with a liposome stability and a calcium influx assay reveals the ability of both S100 proteins to permeabilize the membrane bilayer in a similar fashion like annexins. When tested in combinations with different annexin proteins both S100 proteins mostly lead to a decrease in the calcium influx activity although not all annexin/S100 combinations behave in the same manner. Latter observation supports the hypothesis that the S100-annexin interactions differ mechanistically depending on the particular protein partners.

Abstract
The Ca2+-modulated, dimeric proteins of the EF-hand (helix-loop-helix) type, S100A1 and S100B, that have been shown to inhibit microtubule (MT) protein assembly and to promote MT disassembly, interact with the type III intermediate filament (IF) subunits, desmin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), with a stoichiometry of 2 mol of IF subunit/mol of S100A1 or S100B dimer and an affinity of 0.5-1.0 microM in the presence of a few micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Binding of S100A1 and S100B results in inhibition of desmin and GFAP assemblies into IFs and stimulation of the disassembly of preformed desmin and GFAP IFs. S100A1 and S100B interact with a stretch of residues in the N-terminal (head) domain of desmin and GFAP, thereby blocking the head-to-tail process of IF elongation. The C-terminal extension of S100A1 (and, likely, S100B) represents a critical part of the site that recognizes desmin and GFAP. S100B is localized to IFs within cells, suggesting that it might have a role in remodeling IFs upon elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration by avoiding excess IF assembly and/or promoting IF disassembly in vivo. S100A1, that is not localized to IFs, might also play a role in the regulation of IF dynamics by binding to and sequestering unassembled IF subunits. Together, these observations suggest that S100A1 and S100B may be regarded as Ca2+-dependent regulators of the state of assembly of two important elements of the cytoskeleton, IFs and MTs, and, potentially, of MT- and IF-based activities.

S100B(beta beta) is a dimeric Ca2+-binding protein that interacts with p53, inhibits its phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC) and promotes disassembly of the p53 tetramer. Likewise, a 22 residue peptide derived from the C-terminal regulatory domain of p53 has been shown to interact with S100B(beta beta) in a Ca2+-dependent manner and inhibits its phosphorylation by PKC. Hence, structural studies of Ca2+-loaded S100B(beta beta) bound to the p53 peptide were initiated to characterize this interaction. Analysis of nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) correlations, amide proton exchange rates, 3J(NH-H alpha) coupling constants, and chemical shift index data show that, like apo- and Ca2+-bound S100B(beta beta), S100B remains a dimer in the p53 peptide complex, and each subunit has four helices (helix 1, Glu2-Arg20; helix 2, Lys29-Asn38; helix 3, Gln50-Asp61; helix 4, Phe70-Phe87), four loops (loop 1, Glu21-His25; loop 2, Glu39-Glu49; loop 3, Glu62-Gly66; loop 4, Phe88-Glu91), and two beta-strands (beta-strand 1, Lys26-Lys28; beta-strand 2, Glu67-Asp69), which forms a short antiparallel beta-sheet. However, in the presence of the p53 peptide helix 4 is longer by five residues than in apo- or Ca2+-bound S100B(beta beta). Furthermore, the amide proton exchange rates in helix 3 (K55, V56, E58, T59, L60, D61) are significantly slower than those of Ca2+-bound S100B(beta beta). Together, these observations plus intermolecular NOE correlations between the p53 peptide and S100B(beta beta) support the notion that the p53 peptide binds in a region of S100B(beta beta), which includes residues in helix 2, helix 3, loop 2, and the C-terminal loop, and that binding of the p53 peptide interacts with and induces the extension of helix 4.

Abstract
A multigenic family of Ca2+-binding proteins of the EF-hand type known as S100 comprises 19 members that are differentially expressed in a large number of cell types. Members of this protein family have been implicated in the Ca2+-dependent (and, in some cases, Zn2+- or Cu2+-dependent) regulation of a variety of intracellular activities such as protein phosphorylation, enzyme activities, cell proliferation (including neoplastic transformation) and differentiation, the dynamics of cytoskeleton constituents, the structural organization of membranes, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, inflammation, and in protection from oxidative cell damage. Some S100 members are released or secreted into the extracellular space and exert trophic or toxic effects depending on their concentration, act as chemoattractants for leukocytes, modulate cell proliferation, or regulate macrophage activation. Structural data suggest that many S100 members exist within cells as dimers in which the two monomers are related by a two-fold axis of rotation and that Ca2+ binding induces in individual monomers the exposure of a binding surface with which S100 dimers are believed to interact with their target proteins. Thus, any S100 dimer is suggested to expose two binding surfaces on opposite sides, which renders homodimeric S100 proteins ideal for crossbridging two homologous or heterologous target proteins. Although in some cases different S100 proteins share their target proteins, in most cases a high degree of target specificity has been described, suggesting that individual S100 members might be implicated in the regulation of specific activities. On the other hand, the relatively large number of target proteins identified for a single S100 protein might depend on the specific role played by the individual regions that in an S100 molecule contribute to the formation of the binding surface. The pleiotropic roles played by S100 members, the identification of S100 target proteins, the analysis of functional correlates of S100-target protein interactions, and the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of some S100 members have greatly increased the interest in S100 proteins and our knowledge of S100 protein biology in the last few years. S100 proteins probably are an example of calcium-modulated, regulatory proteins that intervene in the fine tuning of a relatively large number of specific intracellular and (in the case of some members) extracellular activities. Systems, including knock-out animal models, should be now used with the aim of defining the correspondence between the in vitro regulatory role(s) attributed to individual members of this protein family and the in vivo function(s) of each S100 protein.
