Comparative analysis of type 2 diabetes-associated SNP alleles identifies allele-specific DNA-binding proteins for the KCNQ1 locus. Int J Mol Med 2015; 36:222-30.

Abstract
Although recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful, it remains a big challenge to functionally annotate disease‑associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as the majority of these SNPs are located in non‑coding regions of the genome. In this study, we described a novel strategy for identifying the proteins that bind to the SNP‑containing locus in an allele‑specific manner and successfully applied this method to SNPs in the type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility gene, potassium voltage‑gated channel, KQT‑like subfamily Q, member 1 (KCNQ1). DNA fragments encompassing SNPs, and risk or non‑risk alleles were immobilized onto the novel nanobeads and DNA‑binding proteins were purified from the nuclear extracts of pancreatic β cells using these DNA‑immobilized nanobeads. Comparative analysis of the allele-specific DNA-binding proteins indicated that the affinities of several proteins for the examined SNPs differed between the alleles. Nuclear transcription factor Y (NF‑Y) specifically bound the non‑risk allele of the SNP rs2074196 region and stimulated the transcriptional activity of an artificial promoter containing SNP rs2074196 in an allele‑specific manner. These results suggest that SNP rs2074196 modulates the affinity of the locus for NF‑Y and possibly induces subsequent changes in gene expression. The findings of this study indicate that our comparative method using novel nanobeads is effective for the identification of allele‑specific DNA‑binding proteins, which may provide important clues for the functional impact of disease‑associated non‑coding SNPs.

Abstract
Elucidating the mechanism of action of bioactive compounds, such as commonly used pharmaceutical drugs and biologically active natural products, in the cells and the living body is important in drug discovery research. To this end, isolation and identification of target protein(s) for the bioactive compound are essential in understanding its function fully. And, development of reliable tools and methodologies capable of addressing efficiently identification and characterization of the target proteins based on the bioactive compounds accelerates drug discovery research. Affinity-based isolation and identification of target molecules for the bioactive compounds is a classic, but still powerful approach. This paper introduces recent progress on affinity chromatography system, focusing on development of practical affinity matrices and useful affinity-based methodologies on target identification. Beneficial affinity chromatography systems with using practical tools and useful methodologies facilitate chemical biology and drug discovery research.

Abstract
L-Arginine exhibits a wide range of biological activities through a complex and highly regulated set of pathways that remain incompletely understood at both the whole-body and the cellular levels. The aim of this study is to develop and validate effective purification system for L-arginine interacting factors (AIFs). We have recently developed novel magnetic nanobeads (FG beads) composed of magnetite particles/glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-styrene copolymer/covered GMA. These nanobeads have shown higher performance compared with commercially available magnetic beads in terms of purification efficiency. In this study, we have newly developed L-arginine methyl ester (L-AME)-immobilized beads by conjugating L-AME to the surface of these nanobeads. Firstly, we showed that inducible nitric oxide synthase, which binds and uses L-arginine as a substrate, specifically bound to L-AME-immobilized beads. Secondly, we newly identified phosphofructokinase, RuvB-like 1 and RuvB-like 2 as AIFs from crude extracts of HeLa cells using this affinity chromatographic system. The data presented here demonstrate that L-AME-immobilized beads are effective tool for purification of AIFs directly from crude cell extracts. We expect that the present method can be used to purify AIFs from various types of cells.

Abstract
We investigated the application of resins used in solid-phase synthesis for affinity purification. A synthetic ligand for FK506-binding protein 12 (SLF) was immobilized on various resins, and the binding assays between the SLF-immobilized resins and FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) were performed. Of the resins tested in this study, PEGA resin was the most effective for isolating FKBP12. This matrix enabled the isolation of FKBP12 from a cell lysate, and the identification of SLF-binding peptides from a phage cDNA library. We confirmed the interaction between SLF and these peptides using a cuvette type quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) apparatus. Our study suggests that PEGA resin has great potential as a tool not only for the purification and identification of small-molecule binding proteins but also for the selection of peptides that recognize target molecules.

Abstract
This unit describes adaptations of two molecular techniques that can be used to study the regulation of HIV expression. The first two protocols describe the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) assay, in which the CAT reporter gene is attached to an HIV-1 promoter and CAT activity is measured as an indication of the promoter's activity. The basic protocol is rapid, simple, and suited to analyzing multiple samples. An alternate protocol describes an assay for CAT function that involves separating the reaction products by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The second basic protocol describes an electrophoretic mobility shift assay for detecting proteins present in cell extracts that can bind to the HIV-1 LTR (long terminal repeat). Such studies are central to current HIV research because it is important to know what agents induce and inhibit (or "down-regulate") HIV transcription.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is the anticancer and antirheumatoid drug that is believed to block nucleotide synthesis and cell cycle by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase activity. We have developed novel affinity matrices, termed SG beads, that are easy to manipulate and are compatible with surface functionalization. Using the matrices, here we present evidence that deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), an enzyme that acts in the salvage pathway of nucleotide biosynthesis, is another target of MTX. MTX modulates dCK activity differentially depending on substrate concentrations. 1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C), a chemotherapy agent often used in combination with MTX, is a nucleoside analog whose incorporation into chromosome requires prior phosphorylation by dCK. We show that, remarkably, MTX enhances incorporation and cytotoxicity of ara-C through regulation of dCK activity in Burkitt's lymphoma cells. Thus, this study provides new insight into the mechanisms underlying MTX actions and demonstrates the usefulness of the SG beads.

Abstract
Three types of latex nanoparticles carrying naltrindole (NTI) derivatives were synthesized as probes for the affinity isolation of their binding proteins including the delta-opioid receptor. The effect of the attachment of NTI to different positions on the linker was investigated. Only latex nanoparticles in which the NTI derivative was linked through the phenol group were useful for isolating the recombinant delta-opioid receptor solubilized from CHO cell membrane. These latex nanoparticles could be a useful tool for investigations of the pharmacological activity of NTI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), is comprised of the catalytic subunit cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) and the regulatory subunit cyclin T. The kinase activity and transcriptional activation potential of P-TEFb is sensitive to various compounds, including H-8, 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB), and flavopiridol. RESULTS We investigated the molecular mechanism of the H-8 inhibition of CDK9 using matrices to which H-9, an amino derivative of H-8, was immobilized. CDK9 bound specifically to H-9, and this interaction was competitively inhibited by ATP and DRB, but not by flavopiridol. Mutational analyses demonstrated that the central region of CDK9, which encompasses the T-loop region, was important for its binding to H-9. CONCLUSIONS H-9-immobilized latex beads are useful for trapping CDK9 and a subset of kinases from crude cell extracts. The flavopiridol-binding region of CDK9 is most likely different from its H-9-binding region. These biochemical data support previously reported observations which were based on crystallographic data.

Abstract
Over the last decade, much progress has been made in the field of biological mass spectrometry, with numerous advances in technology, resolution, and affinity capture. The field of genomics has also been transformed by the sequencing and characterization of entire genomes. Some of the next challenges lie in understanding the relationship between the genome and the proteome, the protein complement of the genome, and in characterizing the regulatory processes involved in progressing from gene to functional protein. In this new age of proteomics, development of mass spectrometry methods to characterize transcription factors promises to add greatly to our understanding of regulatory networks that govern expression. However, at this time, regulatory networks of transcription factors are mostly uncharted territory. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in characterization of transcription factors by mass spectrometry including affinity capture, identification of complexes of DNA-binding proteins, structural characterization, determination of protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions, assessment of modification sites and metal binding, studies of functional activity, and the latest chip technologies that use SELDI-MS that allow the rapid capture and identification of transcription factors.

Abstract
The weak immunogenicity of subunit vaccines has necessitated research into the development of novel adjuvants and methods to enhance the adjuvancy associated with vaccine delivery systems. The purpose of the present study was to modulate the release of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) from a physicochemically modified matrix of ovalbumin microspheres (OVA-MSs). A two-component MS vaccine delivery system was fabricated, which utilized OVA as the antigen and delivery matrix, and MDP as the adjuvant. The MSs were prepared from OVA using a water/oil emulsion method, followed by suspension cross-linking using glutaraldehyde. The MS matrix was modified with respect to the degree of cross-linking by varying the concentration of glutaraldehyde and matrix density, a function of disulfide-bond formation. The modifications in the MS matrix were characterized using SDS-PAGE, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thin layer wicking (TLW). The in vitro release of MDP and OVA from the various preparations of OVA-MSs exhibited triphasic and biphasic profiles, respectively. The degree of cross-linking and the matrix density were found to be significant physicochemical parameters that affected the release profiles of MDP and OVA through two mechanisms: controlled surface erosion and bulk degradation of the MSs.

Abstract
We have developed a method using novel latex beads for rapid identification of drug receptors using affinity purification. Composed of a glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) and styrene copolymer core with a GMA polymer surface, the beads minimize nonspecific protein binding and maximize purification efficiency. We demonstrated their performance by efficiently purifying FK506-binding protein using FK506-conjugated beads, and found that the amount of material needed was significantly reduced compared with previous methods. Using the latex beads, we identified a redox-related factor, Ref-1, as a target protein of an anti-NF-kappaB drug, E3330, demonstrating the existence of a new class of receptors of anti-NF-kappaB drugs. Our results suggest that the latex beads could provide a tool for the identification and analysis of drug receptors and should therefore be useful in drug development.
