Preventive Effect of Pharmaceutical Phytochemicals Targeting the Src Family of Protein Tyrosine Kinases and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor on Environmental Stress-Induced Skin Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065953.

Abstract
The skin protects our body; however, it is directly exposed to the environment and is stimulated by various external factors. Among the various environmental factors that can threaten skin health, the effects of ultraviolet (UV) and particulate matter (PM) are considered the most notable. Repetitive exposure to ultraviolet and particulate matter can cause chronic skin diseases such as skin inflammation, photoaging, and skin cancer. The abnormal activation of the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases (SFKs) and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in response to UV and/or PM exposure are involved in the development and aggravation of skin diseases. Phytochemicals, chemical compounds of natural plants, exert preventive effects on skin diseases through the regulation of various signaling pathways. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the efficacy of phytochemicals as potential nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical materials for the treatment of skin diseases, primarily by targeting SFK and AhR, and to explore the underlying mechanisms of action. Future studies are essential to validate the clinical potential for the prevention and treatment of skin diseases.

Abstract
RAS activation is a multiple-step process in which linkage of the extracellular stimuli to the RAS activator SOS1 is the main step in RAS activation. GRB2 adaptor protein is the main modulator in SOS1 recruitment to the plasma membrane and its activation. This interaction is well studied but the exact mechanism of GRB2-SOS1 complex formation and SOS1 activation has yet remained obscure. Here, a new allosteric mechanism for the GRB2 regulation is described as a prerequisite for the modulation of SOS1 activation. This regulatory mechanism comprises a series of intramolecular interactions which are potentiated by GRB2 interaction with upstream ligands.Abbreviations: GRB2, growth factor receptor-bound protein 2; SOS1, son of sevenless 1; RAS, Rat Sarcoma; GEF, guanine nucleotide exchange factor; GAP, GTPase-activating protein; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor; SH3, SRC Homology 3; SH2, SRC Homology 2; PRD, proline-rich domain; PRM, proline-rich motif; PRP, proline-rich peptide; RTK, receptor tyrosine kinases.

The intramolecular allostery of GRB2 governing its interaction with SOS1 is modulated by phosphotyrosine ligands. Biochem J 2021; 478:2793-2809.

Abstract
Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is a trivalent adaptor protein and a key element in signal transduction. It interacts via its flanking nSH3 and cSH3 domains with the proline-rich domain (PRD) of the RAS activator SOS1 and via its central SH2 domain with phosphorylated tyrosine residues of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs; e.g. HER2). The elucidation of structural organization and mechanistic insights into GRB2 interactions, however, remain challenging due to their inherent flexibility. This study represents an important advance in our mechanistic understanding of how GRB2 links RTKs to SOS1. Accordingly, it can be proposed that (1) HER2 pYP-bound SH2 potentiates GRB2 SH3 domain interactions with SOS1 (an allosteric mechanism); (2) the SH2 domain blocks cSH3, enabling nSH3 to bind SOS1 first before cSH3 follows (an avidity-based mechanism); and (3) the allosteric behavior of cSH3 to other domains appears to be unidirectional, although there is an allosteric effect between the SH2 and SH3 domains.

Abstract
Here, we introduce a novel ‘evolution of protein domains’ (EvoProDom) model for describing the evolution of proteins based on the ‘mix and merge’ of protein domains. We assembled and integrated genomic and proteomic data comprising protein domain content and orthologous proteins from 109 organisms. In EvoProDom, we characterized evolutionary events, particularly, translocations, as reciprocal exchanges of protein domains between orthologous proteins in different organisms. We showed that protein domains that translocate with highly frequency are generated by transcripts enriched in trans‐splicing events, that is, the generation of novel transcripts from the fusion of two distinct genes. In EvoProDom, we describe a general method to collate orthologous protein annotation from KEGG, and protein domain content from protein sequences using tools such as KoFamKOAL and Pfam. To summarize, EvoProDom presents a novel model for protein evolution based on the ‘mix and merge’ of protein domains rather than DNA‐based evolution models. This confers the advantage of considering chromosomal alterations as drivers of protein evolutionary events.

Abstract
Ras-GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) is a multi-functional protein that is best known for its role in the assembly and dynamics of stress granules. Recent studies have highlighted that G3BP1 also has other functions related to RNA metabolism. In the context of disease, G3BP1 has been therapeutically targeted in cancers because its over-expression is correlated with proliferation of cancerous cells and metastasis. However, evidence suggests that G3BP1 is essential for neuronal development and possibly neuronal maintenance. In this review, we will examine the many functions that are carried out by G3BP1 in the context of neurons and speculate how these functions are critical to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, we will highlight the similarities and differences between G3BP1 and the closely related protein G3BP2, which is frequently overlooked. Although G3BP1 and G3BP2 have both been deemed important for stress granule assembly, their roles may differ in other cellular pathways, some of which are specific to the CNS, and presents an opportunity for further exploration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Oxidative stress contributes to development of diabetic nephropathy. We implicated SH3YL1 in oxidative stress-induced inflammation and examined whether SH3YL1 could be used as a new biomarker of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we investigated the relationship between plasma level of SH3YL1 and diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, we examined the physiological role of SH3YL1 in db/db mice and cultured podocytes. Plasma SH3YL1 concentration was significantly higher in patients with diabetes than in controls, even in normoalbuminuric patients, and was markedly increased in the macroalbuminuria group. Plasma SH3YL1 level was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, HOMA-IR, postprandial blood glucose, plasma level of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP 4), and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and was inversely correlated with BMI. Regression analysis showed that plasma level of RBP 4, UAE, and BMI were the only independent determinants of plasma SH3YL1 concentration. In db/db mice, plasma and renal SH3YL1 levels were significantly increased in mice with diabetes compared with control mice. In cultured podocytes, high glucose and angiotensin II stimuli markedly increased SH3YL1 synthesis. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that plasma level of SH3YL1 offers a promising new biomarker for diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors in the central nervous system, which arises due to the failure or crosstalk in the signaling networks. GPR17, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor is anticipated to be associated with the biology of the GBM disease progression. In the present study, we have identified the differential expressions of around 170 genes along with GPR17 through the RNA-Seq analysis of 169 GBM samples. Coordinated expression patterns of all other gene products with this receptor were analysed using gene ontology and protein-protein interaction data. Several crucial signaling components and genes that play a significant role in tumor progression have been identified among which GPR17 was found to be significantly interacting with about 30 different pathways. High-throughput molecular docking of GPR17 by homology-based model against differentially expressed proteins, showed effective recognition and binding of PX, SH3, and Ig-like domains besides Gi protein. Pathways of PI3, Src, Ptdn, Ras, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, phospholipases, nexins and other proteins possessing these structural domains are identified as critical signaling components of the complex GBM signaling network. Our findings also provide a mechanistic insight of GPR17-T0510-3657 interaction, which potentially regulates the interaction of PX domain and helical mPTS recognition domain-containing proteins. Overall, our results demonstrate that GPR17 mediated signaling networks could be used as a therapeutic target for GBM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Fyn is a non-receptor or cytoplasmatic tyrosine kinase (TK) belonging to the Src family kinases (SFKs) involved in multiple transduction pathways in the central nervous system (CNS) including synaptic transmission, myelination, axon guidance, and oligodendrocyte formation. Almost one hundred years after the original description of Fyn, this protein continues to attract extreme interest because of its multiplicity of actions in the molecular signaling pathways underlying neurodevelopmental as well as neuropathologic events. This review highlights and summarizes the most relevant recent findings pertinent to the role that Fyn exerts in the brain, emphasizing aspects related to neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity. Fyn is a common factor in healthy and diseased brains that targets different proteins and shapes different transduction signals according to the neurological conditions. We will primarily focus on Fyn-mediated signaling pathways involved in neuronal differentiation and plasticity that have been subjected to considerable attention lately, opening the fascinating scenario to target Fyn TK for the development of potential therapeutic interventions for the treatment of CNS injuries and certain neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
This study provides mechanistic insight into how IL-17 receptor adopts EGFR to activate ERK5 axis in Lrig1+ stem cells for their proliferation and migration during wounding healing and tumorigenesis. Lrig1 marks a distinct population of stem cells restricted to the upper pilosebaceous unit in normal epidermis. Here we report that IL-17A–mediated activation of EGFR plays a critical role in the expansion and migration of Lrig1+ stem cells and their progenies in response to wounding, thereby promoting wound healing and skin tumorigenesis. Lrig1-specific deletion of the IL-17R adaptor Act1 or EGFR in mice impairs wound healing and reduces tumor formation. Mechanistically, IL-17R recruits EGFR for IL-17A–mediated signaling in Lrig1+ stem cells. While TRAF4, enriched in Lrig1+ stem cells, tethers IL-17RA and EGFR, Act1 recruits c-Src for IL-17A–induced EGFR transactivation and downstream activation of ERK5, which promotes the expansion and migration of Lrig1+ stem cells. This study demonstrates that IL-17A activates the IL-17R–EGFR axis in Lrig1+ stem cells linking wound healing to tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Protein networks in all organisms comprise homologous interacting pairs. In these networks, some proteins are specific, interacting with one or a few binding partners, whereas others are multispecific and bind a range of targets. We describe an algorithm that starts from an interacting pair and designs dozens of new pairs with diverse backbone conformations at the binding site as well as new binding orientations and sequences. Applied to a high-affinity bacterial pair, the algorithm results in 18 new ones, with cognate affinities from pico- to micromolar. Three pairs exhibit 3-5 orders of magnitude switch in specificity relative to the wild type, whereas others are multispecific, collectively forming a protein-interaction network. Crystallographic analysis confirms design accuracy, including in new backbones and polar interactions. Preorganized polar interaction networks are responsible for high specificity, thus defining design principles that can be applied to program synthetic cellular interaction networks of desired affinity and specificity. The molecular basis of ultrahigh specificity in protein-protein interactions remains obscure. The authors present a computational method to design atomically accurate new pairs exhibiting >100,000-fold specificity switches, generating a large and complex interaction network.

Abstract
SH3 and cysteine-rich domain-containing protein 3 (STAC3) is an essential component of the skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) machinery, though its role and function are not yet completely understood. Here, we report 18 patients carrying a homozygous p.(Trp284Ser) STAC3 variant in addition to a patient compound heterozygous for the p.(Trp284Ser) and a novel splice site change (c.997-1G > T). Clinical severity ranged from prenatal onset with severe features at birth, to a milder and slowly progressive congenital myopathy phenotype. A malignant hyperthermia (MH)-like reaction had occurred in several patients. The functional analysis demonstrated impaired ECC. In particular, KCl-induced membrane depolarization resulted in significantly reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release. Co-immunoprecipitation of STAC3 with CaV 1.1 in patients and control muscle samples showed that the protein interaction between STAC3 and CaV 1.1 was not significantly affected by the STAC3 variants. This study demonstrates that STAC3 gene analysis should be included in the diagnostic work up of patients of any ethnicity presenting with congenital myopathy, in particular if a history of MH-like episodes is reported. While the precise pathomechanism remains to be elucidated, our functional characterization of STAC3 variants revealed that defective ECC is not a result of CaV 1.1 sarcolemma mislocalization or impaired STAC3-CaV 1.1 interaction.

Abstract
We propose protein localization dependent signal activation (PLDSA) as a model to describe pre-existing protein partitioning between the cytosol, and membrane surface, as a means to modulate signal activation, specificity, and robustness. We apply PLDSA to explain possible molecular links between type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) by describing Ca+2 -mediated interactions between the Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase and p52Shc adaptor protein. We suggest that these interactions may serve as a contributing factor to disease development and progression. In particular, we propose that signaling response is regulated, in part, by Ca+2 -mediated partitioning of lipid-bound and soluble forms of Src and p52shc. Thus, protein-protein interactions that drive signaling in response to extracellular ligand binding are also mediated by partitioning of signaling proteins between membrane-bound and soluble populations. We propose that PLDSA effects may explain, in part, the evolutionary basis of promiscuous protein interaction domains and their importance in cellular function.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that the solute carrier family 11 member 1 (SLC11A1) is heavily glycosylated and phosphorylated in macrophages. However, the mechanisms of SLC11A1 phosphorylation, and the effects of phosphorylation on SLC11A1 activity remain largely unknown. Here, the tyrosine phosphorylation of SLC11A1 is observed in SLC11A1-expressing U937 cells when differentiated into macrophages by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). The phosphorylation of SLC11A1 is almost completely blocked by treatment with PP2, a selective inhibitor of Src family kinases. Furthermore, we found that SLC11A1 is a direct substrate for active c-Src kinase and siRNA-mediated knockdown of cellular Src (c-Src) expression results in a significant decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation. We found that PMA induces the interaction of SLC11A1 with c-Src kinase. We demonstrated that SLC11A1 is phosphorylated by Src family kinases at tyrosine 15 and this type of phosphorylation is required for SLC11A1-mediated modulation of NF-κB activation and nitric oxide (NO) production induced by LPS. Our results demonstrate important roles for c-Src tyrosine kinase in phosphorylation and activation of SLC11A1 in macrophages.

Abstract
As the unique chimeric member of the β-galactoside-binding protein family, galectin-3 is a multivalent and multifunctional oncogenic protein involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including cell growth, cell differentiation, cell adhesion, RNA splicing, cell apoptosis, and malignant transformation. Post-translational modifications can effectively increase a protein's functional diversity, either by degradation or adding chemical modifications, thus regulating activity, localization, and ligand interaction. In order to clearly understand the functional mechanisms of galectin-3 involved in normal cell biology and pathogenesis, here, we have summarized the previously reported post-translational modifications of galectin-3, including cleavage and phosphorylation. Cleavage of galectin-3 by MMPs, PSA, and proteases from parasites generated intact carbohydrate-recognition domain and N-terminal peptides of varying lengths that retained lectin binding activity but lost multivalence. Serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of galectin-3 by c-Abl, CKI, and GSK-3β could regulate its localization and associated signal transduction. Accordingly, cleavage and phosphorylation play an important role in regulating galectin-3 function via altering its multivalence, localization, and ligand interaction.

Abstract
A safe and broadly effective direct acting anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agent that can withstand the viral mutation is needed. In this study, human single chain antibody variable fragments (HuscFvs) to conserved non-structural protein-5A (NS5A) of HCV were produced by phage display technology. Recombinant NS5A was used as bait for fishing-out the protein bound-phages from the HuscFv-phage display library. NS5A-bound HuscFvs produced by five phage transfected-E. coli clones were linked molecularly to nonaarginine (R9) for making them cell penetrable (become transbodies). The human monoclonal transbodies inhibited HCV replication in the HCVcc infected human hepatic cells and also rescued the cellular antiviral immune response from the viral suppression. Computerized simulation verified by immunoassays indicated that the transbodies used several residues in their multiple complementarity determining regions (CDRs) to form contact interface with many residues of the NS5A domain-I which is important for HCV replication complex formation and RNA binding as well as for interacting with several host proteins for viral immune evasion and regulation of cellular physiology. The human monoclonal transbodies have high potential for testing further as a new ramification of direct acting anti-HCV agent, either alone or in combination with their cognates that target other HCV proteins.

Abstract
Ephexin4, a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor for RhoG, promotes engulfment of apoptotic cells and cancer cell migration in a RhoG-dependent manner, which is synergistically augmented by Elmo1, an Ephexin4-interacting protein. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report a mechanism by which Elmo1 cooperates with Ephexin4 to activate RhoG. We found that Ephexin4 activity was increased by elimination of its SH3 domain which intermolecularly interacts with the N20 region of Ephexin4. This interaction prevented RhoG from binding to Ephexin4 and thus inhibited RhoG activation. Moreover, we also found that Elmo1 associated with the SH3 domain as well as the N20 region and competed with the SH3 domain for binding to the N20 region, interrupting the interaction of the SH3 domain with the N20 region and thereby promoting RhoG binding to Ephexin4. In addition, the activity of Ephexin4 lacking the SH3 domain was comparable to that of Ephexin4 with Elmo1. Taken together, the data suggest that Elmo1 relieves the steric hindrance of Ephexin4 generated by the intermolecular interaction of the SH3 domain and makes Ephexin4 more accessible to RhoG.

Abstract
The interaction between the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nef protein (HIV-1 Nef) and the Src Homology Region 3 (SH3) domain of Hck was studied using scintillation proximity assay (SPA). SPA is a quick and sensitive method that does not require a separation step, thus allowing assays to be performed in a homogeneous environment. In contrast to most conventional techniques, SPA may also be used to detect low affinity protein-protein interactions. In this study, the assay was configured using biotinylated Hck SH3 domain expressed both as a GST fusion protein and synthesized chemically in its' native form. Biotinylated Hck protein was immobilized to streptavidin-coated fluoromicrosphere SPA beads and the binding of [3H]Nef was detected by scintillation counting. Analysis of binding yielded an average equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 183 ± 30 nM for the interaction in line with reported values by other methods. The data presented demonstrates that using SPA, protein-protein interactions of relatively low affinity can be detected with a high degree of sensitivity and screening studies of inhibitors of these associations could be facilitated by the high sample throughput achievable with SPA.

Abstract
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is a member of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases and plays an important role in diverse cellular events downstream of the integrin-family of receptors, including cell migration, proliferation and survival. Here, we have identified a novel role for Src kinase in priming Pyk2 phosphorylation and subsequent activation upon cell attachment on the integrin-ligand fibronectin. By using complementary methods, we show that Src activity is indispensable for the initial Pyk2 phosphorylation on the Y402 site observed in response to cell attachment. In contrast, the initial fibronectin-induced autophosphorylation of FAK in the homologous Y397 site occurs in a Src-independent manner. We demonstrate that the SH2-domain of Src is required for Src binding to Pyk2 and for Pyk2 phosphorylation at sites Y402 and Y579. Moreover, Y402 phosphorylation is a prerequisite for the subsequent Y579 phosphorylation. While this initial phosphorylation of Pyk2 by Src is independent of Pyk2 kinase activity, subsequent autophosphorylation of Pyk2 in trans is required for full Pyk2 phosphorylation and activation. Collectively, our studies reveal a novel function of Src in priming Pyk2 (but not FAK) phosphorylation and subsequent activation downstream of integrins, and shed light on the signaling events that regulate the function of Pyk2.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine kinase Tec, a kind of non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is primarily found to be expressed in T cells, B cells, hematopoietic cells, and liver cells as a cytoplasmic protein. Tec has been proved to be a critical modulator of T cell receptor signaling pathway. In the present study, a homolog of Tec was identified in the lamprey, Lampetra japonica. The full-length Tec cDNA of L. japonica (Lja-Tec) contains a 1923 bp open reading frame that encodes a 641-amino acid protein. The multi-alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of Lja-Tec with typical vertebrate Tecs showed that it possesses all conserved domains of the Tec family proteins, indicating that an ortholog of Tec exists in the extant jawless vertebrate. In the phylogenetic tree that was reconstructed with 24 homologs of jawless and jawed vertebrates, the Tecs from lampreys and hagfish were clustered as a single clade. The genetic distance between the outgroup and agnathan Tecs' group is closer than that between outgroup and gnathostome Tecs' group, indicating that its origin was far earlier than any of the jawed vertebrates. The mRNA levels of Lja-Tec in lymphocyte-like cells and gills were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results showed that it was significantly upregulated under stimulation with mixed pathogens. This result was further confirmed by western blot analysis. All these results indicated that Lja-Tec plays an important role in immune response. Our data will provide a reference for the further study of lamprey Tec and its immunological function in jawless vertebrates.

Abstract
Mixed lineage kinases (MLKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family and are reported to activate MAP kinase pathways. There have been at least 9 members of the MLK family identified to date, although the physiological functions of all the family members are yet unknown. However, MLKs in general have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. Recent reports suggest that some of the MLK members could play a role in cancer via modulating cell migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis. This review article will first describe the biology of MLK members and then discuss the current progress that relates to their functions in cancer.

Abstract
The fungus Septoria tritici causes the disease septoria tritici blotch in wheat, one of the most economically devastating foliar diseases in this crop. To investigate signaling events and defense responses in the wheat-S. tritici interaction, we performed a time-course study of S. tritici infection in resistant and susceptible wheat using quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics, with special emphasis on the initial biotrophic phase of interactions. Our study revealed an accumulation of defense and stress-related proteins, suppression of photosynthesis, and changes in sugar metabolism during compatible and incompatible interactions. However, differential regulation of the phosphorylation status of signaling proteins, transcription and translation regulators, and membrane-associated proteins was observed between two interactions. The proteomic data were correlated with a more rapid or stronger accumulation of signal molecules, including calcium, H2O2, NO, and sugars, in the resistant than in the susceptible cultivar in response to the infection. Additionally, 31 proteins and 5 phosphoproteins from the pathogen were identified, including metabolic proteins and signaling proteins such as GTP-binding proteins, 14-3-3 proteins, and calcium-binding proteins. Quantitative PCR analysis showed the expression of fungal signaling genes and genes encoding a superoxide dismutase and cell-wall degrading enzymes. These results indicate roles of signaling, antioxidative stress mechanisms, and nutrient acquisition in facilitating the initial symptomless growth. Taken in its entirety, our dataset suggests interplay between the plant and S. tritici through complex signaling networks and downstream molecular events. Resistance is likely related to several rapidly and intensively triggered signal transduction cascades resulting in a multiple-level activation of transcription and translation processes of defense responses. Our sensitive approaches and model provide a comprehensive (phospho)proteomics resource for studying signaling from the point of view of both host and pathogen during a plant-pathogen interaction.

Gene expression in human fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis changes as arthroconidia differentiate into spherules and mature. BMC Microbiol 2013; 13:121. [PMID: 23714098 PMCID: PMC3693894 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2180-13-121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2013] [Accepted: 05/20/2013] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus that causes disease in mammals, including human beings. It grows as a mycelium containing arthroconidia in the soil and in the host arthroconidia differentiates into a unique structure called a spherule. We used a custom open reading frame oligonucleotide microarray to compare the transcriptome of C. immitis mycelia with early (day 2) and late stage (day 8) spherules grown in vitro. All hybridizations were done in quadruplicate and stringent criteria were used to identify significantly differentially expressed genes. RESULTS 22% of C. immitis genes were differentially expressed in either day 2 or day 8 spherules compared to mycelia, and about 12% of genes were differentially expressed comparing the two spherule time points. Oxireductases, including an extracellular superoxide dismutase, were upregulated in spherules and they may be important for defense against oxidative stress. Many signal transduction molecules, including pleckstrin domain proteins, protein kinases and transcription factors were downregulated in day 2 spherules. Several genes involved in sulfur metabolism were downregulated in day 8 spherules compared to day 2 spherules. Transcription of amylase and α (1,3) glucan synthase was upregulated in spherules; these genes have been found to be important for differentiation to yeast in Histoplasma. There were two homologs of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (4-HPPD); transcription of one was up- and the other downregulated. We tested the effect of a 4-HPPD inhibitor, nitisinone, on mycelial and spherule growth and found that it inhibited mycelial but not spherule growth. CONCLUSIONS Transcription of many genes was differentially expressed in the process of arthroconidia to spherule conversion and spherule maturation, as would be expected given the magnitude of the morphologic change. The transcription profile of early stage (day 2) spherules was different than late stage (day 8) endosporulating spherules. In addition, very few genes that are important for spore to yeast conversion in other dimorphic fungi are differentially expressed in C. immitis mycelia and spherules suggesting that dimorphic fungi may have evolved different mechanisms to differentiate from mycelia to tissue invasive forms.

Abstract
: Hyper-IgE syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency marked by abnormalities in the coordination of cell-cell signaling with the potential to affect TH17 cell, B cell, and neutrophil responses. Clinical manifestations include recurrent skin and lung infections, serum IgE elevation, connective tissue repair and development alterations, and the propensity for vascular abnormalities and tumor development. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling, dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) signaling, and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) signaling alterations have been implicated in 3 forms of hyper-IgE syndrome.

Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy is the mainstay for treating advanced prostate cancer. A better understanding in the complexity of the androgen receptor (AR) signalling pathway has highlighted that this form of treatment is not sufficient. Since Huggins and Hodges made their crucial observations on the benefits of castration for prostate cancer, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the importance of the cross-talk between the hormone signalling pathway and the kinase signalling network. We now know that preventing androgen production or ligand binding to the AR does not necessarily mark the end of the road for prostate tumour growth. Emerging evidence suggests that there exists a complex set of compensatory mechanisms which allows growth factors to push the transformed cells into a 'survival adaptation mode' within the tumour microenvironment. An increase in autocrine and paracrine cascades of growth factor are the most commonly reported events to correlate with progression of androgen-dependent disease to a disseminated androgen independent state. The mechanism of how growth factors can sustain AR activation when cells are deprived of androgens is unknown. This is due to the lack of information about the critical factors linking the intracellular signalling molecules associated with the downstream AR signalling events triggered by growth factors. The aim of this mini review is to highlight a potentially new insight into how intracellular adaptor molecules activated by growth factors may influence and act as a molecular switch to allow the continuation of AR activity in the presence of therapeutic anti-androgens following chemical or surgical castration.

Abstract
As a member of a newly discovered protein family, the suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS-3) has been shown to regulate the responses of many immune cytokines in a negative auto-regulatory manner. The full-length cDNA of common carp SOCS-3 was 1603 bp and contained a 630 bp open reading frame (ORF) coding for a protein of 209 amino acids. Carp SOCS-3 molecule was well conserved especially in the SRC homology 2 (SH2) and the SOCS box. The kinase inhibitory region (KIR) and ESS domains, upstream of the SH2 domain, were conserved in carp SOCS-3, except for a specific insertion (PHRYK) in the KIR domain at the N-terminal region. Three conserved cysteine (Cys-102, 124 and 193) residues, and one additional cysteine (Cys-168) residue, were also found in carp SOCS-3. The 2015 bp genomic DNA of carp SOCS-3 contained two exons and one intron. Phylogenetic analysis showed that carp SOCS-3 sequence grouped with other known fish SOCS-3 sequences with zebrafish SOCS-3 as the closest neighbour. RT-PCR analysis showed that carp SOCS-3 was initially expressed at 4 h pf (post-fertilization) and gradually increased up to 4 w pf during embryogenesis. By RT-qPCR analysis, carp SOCS-3 gene was predominantly detected in gill, head kidney, thymus and skin, followed by spleen and peripheral blood, lower expression level was detected in kidney, intestine, liver and muscle; the SOCS-3 transcript was significantly increased in thymus, head kidney, spleen and intestine of GH (growth hormone)-transgenic carp; after SVCV (spring viraemia of carp virus) infection, the carp SOCS-3 transcript was significantly up-regulated in gill, intestine, thymus, spleen, head kidney and kidney tissues in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that teleost SOCS-3 may play an active role in the modulation of viral-induced innate immune response and in preventing the overaction of some cytokines with viral stimulation.

Abstract
Artemin, one of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, enhances the generation and survival of early sympathetic neurons and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons. Src-family kinases (SFK) are involved in the growth and differentiation of cells, which are composed of unique Src homology 2 (SH2), Src homology 3 (SH3) and kinase domains. Various extra-cellular molecules containing growth factors and G-protein coupled receptors stimulate SFK. In this report, artemin is shown to have a significant effect on the neurite growth of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Also, artemin triggers Src-family kinase activation and the phosphorylation of extra-cellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Artemin also regulated actin polymerization. There are several indications that another SH3-containing protein, Hck, and an SH3-containing adaptor protein, Nck1, play an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton by cellular signalling. These findings suggest that the exploration of binding partners for the SH3 domain could provide an insight into regulation between the microtubule and actin networks. The binding partners for the SH3 domains of Nck, Src and Hck that we identified were Smc chromosome segregation ATPases, FOG Zn-finger protein and the FYVE zinc-binding domain, respectively.

Abstract
The SH3-SH2-kinase domain arrangement in nonreceptor tyrosine kinases has been conserved throughout evolution. For Src family kinases, the relative positions of the domains are important for enzyme regulation; they permit the assembly of Src kinases into autoinhibited conformations. The SH3 and SH2 domains of Src family kinases have an additional role in determining the substrate specificity of the kinase. We addressed the question of whether the domain arrangement of Src family kinases has a role in substrate specificity by producing mutants with alternative arrangements. Our results suggest that changes in the positions of domains can lead to specific changes in the phosphorylation of Sam68 and Cas by Src. Phosphorylation of Cas by several mutants triggers downstream signaling leading to cell migration. The placement of the SH2 domain with respect to the catalytic domain of Src appears to be especially important for proper substrate recognition, while the placement of the SH3 domain is more flexible. The results suggest that the involvement of the SH3 and SH2 domains in substrate recognition is one reason for the strict conservation of the SH3-SH2-kinase architecture.

Abstract
SH3 domain binding protein 5 like (xSH3BP5L) gene encodes a protein that is a new found member of SH3 domain binding protein family which has been implicated at multiple levels of biological functions. Here, we have characterized Xenopus SH3 domain binding protein 5 like (xSH3BP5L) gene in the development of Xenopus laevis. Transcripts of xSH3BP5L were detected at all stages of development and in numerous adult tissues. Whole-mount in situ hybridization demonstrated that xSH3BP5L is expressed at the animal pole from stage-2 onward. Interestingly, translational inhibition of xSH3BP5L using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MOs) and overexpression of xSH3BP5L in Xenopus embryos resulted in failed or delayed blastopore closure. Taken together, these data suggested that xSH3BP5L is required for normal embryogenesis of blastopore closure in X. laevis.

Abstract
The suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS-1), as the name implies, is a member of proteins that regulate cytokine signaling pathways by inhibiting the events of key tyrosine phosphorylation on cytokine receptors and signaling molecules such as Janus kinase family members. Although mammalian SOCS-1 homologues were characterized in several species, no similar research work has been reported in fish yet. In this paper, we initially cloned the SOCS-1 genes from Tetraodon nigroviridis and Danio rerio, and identified other two SOCS-1 genes from Fugu rubripes and Gasterosteus aculeatus. The results showed that the fish SOCS-1-encoding genes consist of two exons and a single intron, a typical characteristic of SOCS family in gene organization. Moreover, two alternatively spliced transcripts that encoded 220 and 196 amino acids were obtained in T. nigroviridis, proving the distinct existence of alternative splicing in fish SOCS-1 different from higher vertebrates. By reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time quantitative PCR, gene expression studies indicated that both two alternatively spliced transcripts of Tetraodon SOCS-1 were expressed extensively in major tissues as we examined and their corresponding expression levels could be strikingly raised at 3 h postinjection with lipopolysaccharide, which strongly suggested that SOCS-1 proteins in fish might be involved in inflammatory responses. This is the first report of cloning and characterization of SOCS-1 complementary deoxyribonucleic acids and genes in fish.

Abstract
Lentiviruses, human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs), and simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) are distinguished from oncoretroviruses by their ability to infect nondividing cells such as macrophages. Retroviruses must gain access to the host cell nucleus for replication and propagation. HIV and SIV preintegration complexes (PIC) enter nuclei after traversing the central aqueous channel of the limiting nuclear pore complex without membrane breakdown. Among the nucleophilic proteins, namely, matrix, integrase, Vpx, and Vpr, present in HIV type 2/SIV PIC, Vpx is implicated in nuclear targeting and is also available for incorporation into budding virions at the plasma membrane. The mechanisms of these two opposite functions are not known. We demonstrate that Vpx is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein and contains two novel noncanonical nuclear import signals and a leptomycin B-sensitive nuclear export signal. In addition, Vpx interacts with the cellular tyrosine kinase Fyn through its C-terminal proline-rich motif. Furthermore, our data indicate that Fyn kinase phosphorylates Vpx and regulates its export from nucleus. Replacement of conserved tryptophan residues within domain 41 to 63 and tyrosine residues at positions 66, 69, and 71 in Vpx impairs its nuclear export, virion incorporation, and SIV replication in macrophages. Nuclear export is essential to ensure the availability of Vpx in the cytoplasm for incorporation into virions, leading to efficient viral replication within nondividing cells.

Abstract
The immune cell adaptor adhesion and degranulation promoting adaptor protein (ADAP) and its binding to T-cell adaptor Src kinase-associated protein of 55 kDa (SKAP-55) play a key role in the modulation of T-cell adhesion. While primary binding occurs via SKAP-55 SH3 domain binding to a proline-rich region in ADAP, a second interaction occurs between the ADAP C-terminal SH3 domain (ADAP-SH3c) and a non-canonical RKXXY294XXY297 motif in SKAP-55. Increasing numbers of non-canonical SH3 domain binding motifs have been identified in a number of biological systems. The presence of tyrosine residues in the SKAP-55 RKXXY294XXY297 motif suggested that phosphorylation might influence this unusual SH3 domain interaction. Here, we show that the Src kinase p59fyn can induce the in vivo phosphorylation of the motif, and this event blocks ADAP-SH3c domain binding to the peptide motif. The importance of tyrosine phosphorylation was confirmed by plasmon resonance interaction analysis showing that phosphorylation of Tyr294 residue plays a central role in mediating dissociation, whereas phosphorylation of the second Tyr297 had no effect. Although loss of this secondary interaction did not result in the disruption of the complex, the Y294F mutation blocked T-cell receptor-induced up-regulation of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1-mediated adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and interleukin-2 promoter activity. Our findings identify a RKXXY294 motif in SKAP-55 that mediates unique ADAP SH3c domain binding and is needed for LFA-1-mediated adhesion and cytokine production.

Abstract
This review considers the proteins of the WASP (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein) family and their role in the regulation of actin-based motility. It contains detailed classification of the WASP family proteins and data on their subcellular localization. Impairments of expression of the WASP family proteins cause certain cell pathologies. The review also deals with domain organization of these proteins and proteins interacting with various domains of the WASP proteins. Special attention is given to analysis of the role of the WASP family proteins in initiating directed actin assembly in the leading edge of the migrating cell and on the surface of some bacteria. Putative pathways of regulation of WASP proteins by various protein ligands and their links with cell signaling systems are considered.

Abstract
Determination of the binding motif and identification of interaction partners of the modular domains such as SH2 domains can enhance our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of protein-protein interactions. We propose here a new computational method to achieve this goal by integrating the orthogonal information obtained from binding free energy estimation and peptide sequence analysis. We performed a proof-of-concept study on the SH2 domains of SAP and Grb2 proteins. The method involves the following steps: (1) estimating the binding free energy of a set of randomly selected peptides along with a sample of known binders; (2) clustering all these peptides using sequence and energy characteristics; (3) extracting a sequence motif, which is represented by a hidden Markov model (HMM), from the cluster of peptides containing the sample of known binders; and (4) scanning the human proteome to identify binding sites of the domain. The binding motifs of the SAP and Grb2 SH2 domains derived by the method agree well with those determined through experimental studies. Using the derived binding motifs, we have predicted new possible interaction partners for the Grb2 and SAP SH2 domains as well as possible interaction sites for interaction partners already known. We also suggested novel roles for the proteins by reviewing their top interaction candidates.

Abstract
The 24.5 kDa ribosomal protein L10 (RP-L10), which was encoded by QM gene, was known to interact with the SH3 domain of Yes kinase. Herein, we demonstrate that RP-L10 interacts with the SH3 domain of Src and activates the binding of the Nck1 adaptor protein with skeletal proteins such as the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) and WASP interacting protein (WIP) in neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY-5y. The RP-L10 was associated with the SH3 domains of Src and Yes. It is shown that two different regions of RP-L10 are associated with the Src-SH3. The effect of ectopic RP-L10 expression on neuronal cell scaffolding was explored in cells transiently transfected with QM. SH-SY-5y human neuroblastoma cells transfected with QM were considerably more susceptible to neurite outgrowth induced by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). However, RP-L10 did not directly interact with actin assembly. Taken together, these results suggest that the RP-L10 may positively regulate the GDNF/Ret-mediated signaling of neurite outgrowth in the neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY-5y.

Abstract
Src homology 3 (SH3) domains mediate intracellular protein-protein interactions through the recognition of proline-rich sequence motifs on cellular proteins. Such protein-protein interactions can activate the protein kinase cascade that mediates MAPK signaling pathway. The human hole gene, hhole, is a 319-amino acid six-transmembrane protein with proline-rich C-terminal motifs and N-terminal ERK binding domains (D-domains). The hhole protein is highly conserved in evolution across different species from elegent, mouse to human. Northern blot analysis indicates that hhole is expressed in heart, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas at adult stages and in most of the examined embryonic tissues, especially at a higher level in heart. Using a GFP-labeled hhole protein, we demonstrate that hhole is localized in plasma membrane or proximal region of the membrane. Overexpression of hhole in COS-7 cells strongly inhibited the transcriptional activities of AP-1 and SRE while deletion of the C-terminal proline-rich motifs or the N-terminal ERK binding D-domain motifs reduced the repressive activity of the gene. These results suggest that the hhole protein may interact with SH3-domain proteins or ERKs to mediate signaling pathways/networks that lead to the suppression of AP-1 and SRE.

Abstract
Actin polymerization has been shown to occur in tracheal smooth muscle tissues and cells in response to contractile stimulation, and there is evidence that the polymerization of actin is required for contraction. In tracheal smooth muscle, agonist-induced actin polymerization is mediated by activation of neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASp) and the Arp (actin-related protein) 2/3 complex, and activation of the small GTPase Cdc42 regulates the activation of N-WASp. In the present study, the role of the adapter protein CrkII in the regulation of N-WASp and Cdc42 activation, actin polymerization, and tension development in smooth muscle tissues was evaluated. Stimulation of tracheal smooth muscle tissues with acetylcholine increased the association of CrkII with N-WASp. Plasmids encoding wild type CrkII or a CrkII mutant lacking the SH3 effector-binding ability, CrkII SH3N, were introduced into tracheal smooth muscle tissues, and the tissues were incubated for 2 days to allow for protein expression. Expression of the CrkII SH3N mutant in smooth muscle tissues inhibited the association of CrkII with N-WASp and the activation of Cdc42. The CrkII SH3N mutant also inhibited the increase in the association of N-WASp with Arp2, a major component of the Arp2/3 complex, in response to contractile stimulation, indicating inhibition of N-WASp activation. Expression of the CrkII SH3N mutant also inhibited tension generation and actin polymerization in response to contractile stimulation; however, it did not inhibit myosin light chain phosphorylation. These results suggest that CrkII plays a critical role in the regulation of N-WASp activation, perhaps by regulating the activation of Cdc42, and that it thereby regulates actin polymerization and active tension generation in tracheal smooth muscle. These studies suggest a novel signaling pathway for the regulation of N-WASp activation and active contraction in smooth muscle tissues.

Abstract
To identify the role of caveolin-1 in integrin mechanotransduction, we exposed bovine aortic endothelial cells to 10 dyn/cm2 of laminar shear stress. Caveolin-1 was acutely and transiently phosphorylated with shear, occurring downstream of β1-integrin activation as the β1-integrin blocking antibody JB1A was inhibitory. In manipulating Src family kinase (SFK) activity with knockdown of Csk or type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) treatment, we observed coordinate increase and decrease in shear-induced caveolin-1 phosphorylation, respectively. Hence, shear-stimulated caveolin-1 phosphorylation is regulated by SFKs. Shear-induced recruitment and phosphorylation of caveolin-1 occurred at β1-integrin sites in a β1-integrin- and SFK-dependent manner. Csk, described to interact with pY14-caveolin-1 and integrins, bound to an increased pool of phosphorylated caveolin-1 after shear corresponding with elevated Csk at β1-integrin sites. Like caveolin-1, treatment with JB1A and PP1 attenuated shear-induced Csk association with β1-integrins. Csk function was assayed with transfection of a caveolin-1 phosphorylation domain peptide. The peptide attenuated shear-induced association of Csk at β1-integrin sites, as well as colocalization of Csk with paxillin and phosphorylated caveolin-1. Because integrin and Csk activity regulate cytoskeletal reorganization, we evaluated the role of this mechanism in shear-induced myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation. Knockdown of Csk expression was sufficient to reduce MLC diphosphorylation due to shear. Disruption of Csk-integrin association by peptide treatment was also inhibitory of the MLC diphosphorylation response. Together these data indicate that integrin activation with shear stress results in SFK-regulated caveolin-1 phosphorylation that, in turn, mediates Csk association at integrin sites, where it plays a role in downstream, shear-stimulated MLC diphosphorylation.

Abstract
An analysis of the backbone dynamics of the C-terminal Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of p67(phox), p67(phox)SH3(C), in complex with a 32-residue high-affinity (K(d) = 24 nM) peptide, Pf, from the C-terminal region of p47(phox) is presented. This paper represents the first detailed analysis of the backbone dynamics and the ligand-induced changes therein of a high-affinity, high-specificity interaction involving an SH3 domain. The dynamic features are compared with those in the high-affinity, highly specific interaction between the SH3 domain of C-terminal Src kinase (Csk-SH3) and a proline-rich peptide from proline-enriched phosphatase (PEP). Both systems share common dynamic features especially in the canonical PxxP motif recognition surface where slow micro- to millisecond time scale dynamics persist on complex formation especially in several residues that are implicated in ligand recognition and in stabilizing the SH3 fold. These residues are highly conserved in SH3 domains. Ile505, which lies outside the PxxP recognition motif on p67(phox)SH3(C) and is key in conferring high specificity to the p67(phox)SH3(C)/Pf interaction, becomes more disordered upon complex formation. This behavior is similar to that seen in the residues that constitute the specificity surface in Csk-SH3.

Abstract
Cell migration plays key roles in physiological and pathological phenomena, such as development and oncogenesis. The adaptor proteins Grb2, CrkII, and Nck1 are composed of only a single Src homology 2 domain and some Src homology 3 domains, giving specificity to each signal transduction pathway. However, little is known about the relationships between their adaptor proteins and cell migration, which are regulated by the G protein-coupled receptor. Here we showed that Nck1, but not Grb2 or CrkII, mediated the inhibition of cell migration induced by the endothelin-1 and endothelin A receptor. The small interference RNA and dominant negative mutants of Nck1 diminished the endothelin-1-induced inhibition of cell migration. Although overexpression of wild-type Nck1 was detected in the cytosol and did not affect cell migration, expression of the myristoylation signal sequence-conjugated Nck1 was detected in the membrane and induced activation of Cdc42 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase, inhibiting cell migration. Taken together, these results suggest that the endothelin A receptor transduces the signal of inhibition of cell migration through Cdc42-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation by using Nck1.

Abstract
The insulin receptor is a ligand-activated tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates its major substrate protein, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), at multiple sites. Tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS1 then serves as a docking/effector protein for at least four Src homology 2 (SH2)-domain proteins involved in signal transduction. This initial step in signalling distinguishes the insulin receptor from other receptor tyrosine kinases, which directly bind several SH2-domain proteins, and establishes IRS1 as a founding member of a group of proteins whose function is to link activated tyrosine kinases to SH2-domain proteins.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions mediated by the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain have been implicated in the regulation of receptor functions for subcellular localization of proteins and the reorganization of cytoskeleton. The experiments described in this article begin to identify the interaction of the SH3 domain of Src tyrosine kinase with the guanylyl cyclase C receptor after activation with Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST). Only one of two post-translationally modified forms of guanylyl cyclase C from T84 colonic carcinoma cells bind to GST-SH3 fusion protein of Src and Hck tyrosine kinases. Interestingly, the GST-Src-SH3 fusion protein showed 2-fold more affinity to native guanylyl cyclase C in solution than the GST-Hck-SH3 fusion protein. The affinity of the GST-Src-SH3 fusion protein to guanylyl cyclase C increased on desensitization of receptor in vivo. An in vitro cyclase assay in the presence of GST-Src-SH3 fusion protein indicated inhibition of the catalytic activity of guanylyl cyclase C. The catalytic domain recombinant protein (GST-GCD) of guanylyl cyclase C could pull-down a 60-kDa protein that reacted with Src tyrosine antibody and also showed autophosphorylation. These data suggest that SH3 domain-mediated protein-protein interaction with the catalytic domain of guanylyl cyclase C inhibited the cyclase activity and that such an interaction, possibly mediated by Src tyrosine kinase or additional proteins, might be pivotal for the desensitization phenomenon of the guanylyl cyclase C receptor.

Abstract
Conceptual models of the atom preceded the mathematical model of the hydrogen atom in physics in the second decade of the 20th century. The computer modeling of the living cell in the 21st century may follow a similar course of development. A conceptual model of the cell called the Bhopalator was formulated in the mid-1980s, along with its twin theories known as the conformon theory of molecular machines and the cell language theory of biopolymer interactions [Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 227 (1974) 211; BioSystems 44 (1997) 17; Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 870 (1999a) 411; BioSystems 54 (2000) 107; Semiotica 138 (1-4) (2002a) 15; Fundamenta Informaticae 49 (2002b) 147]. The conformon theory accounts for the reversible actions of individual biopolymers coupled to irreversible chemical reactions, while the cell language theory provides a theoretical framework for understanding the complex networks of dynamic interactions among biopolymers in the cell. These two theories are reviewed and further elaborated for the benefit of both computational biologists and computer scientists who are interested in modeling the living cell and its functions. One of the critical components of the mechanisms of cell communication and cell computing has been postulated to be space- and time-organized teleonomic (i.e. goal-directed) shape changes of biopolymers that are driven by exergonic (free energy-releasing) chemical reactions. The generalized Franck-Condon principle is suggested to be essential in resolving the apparent paradox arising when one attempts to couple endergonic (free energy-requiring) biopolymer shape changes to the exergonic chemical reactions that are catalyzed by biopolymer shape changes themselves. Conformons, defined as sequence-specific mechanical strains of biopolymers first invoked three decades ago to account for energy coupling in mitochondria, have been identified as shape changers, the agents that cause shape changes in biopolymers. Given a set of space- and time-organized teleonomic shape changes of biopolymers driven by conformons, all of the functions of the cell can be accounted for in molecular terms-at least in principle. To convert a conceptual model of the cell into a computer model, it is necessary to represent the conceptual model in an algebraic language. To this end, we have begun to apply the process algebra of Milner [Communicating and Mobile Systems: The pi-calculus, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1999] to develop what is here called the "shape algebra," capable of describing complex and mobile patterns of interactions among biomolecules leading to cell functions.

Abstract
The Kluyveromyces lactis FUS1 gene was cloned, physically characterized and its role in the mating response pathway was determined. The gene encodes a putative membrane protein, whose structure shows a single membrane-spanning segment, a short extracellular amino-terminus and a long carboxy-terminus, located in the cytoplasmic side. The predicted primary structure of the protein shows a number of serine and threonine residues in the amino-terminus, which in analogy to Fus1p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae might be O-glycosylated. A fus1-GFP hybrid protein was tentatively located in the plasma membrane of dividing cells and upon activation of the pheromone response pathway, the protein seems to be relocated at the tip of elongated cells. KlFus1p is required for optimal conjugation of sexual partners and its expression is significantly enhanced by overexpression of both a constitutively active form of KlGpa1p, the G protein alpha subunit that triggers the mating response in this strain, and the KlSte12p transcription factor. Inactivation of the KlSte12 protein strongly reduces mating and affects KlFUS1 gene expression. The KlFUS1 gene has been deposited in the GenBank under accession number AF519444.

Abstract
The long cyclic AMP (cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase isoform, PDE4A5 (PDE4A subfamily isoform variant 5), when transiently expressed in COS-7 cells, was shown in subcellular fractionation studies to be associated with both membrane and cytosol fractions, with immunofluorescence analyses identifying PDE4A5 as associated both with ruffles at the cell margin and also at a distinct perinuclear localisation. Deletion of the first nine amino acids of PDE4A5 (1) ablated its ability to interact with the SH3 domain of the tyrosyl kinase, LYN; (2) reduced, but did not ablate, membrane association; and (3) disrupted the focus of PDE4A5 localisation within ruffles at the cell margin. This deleted region contained a Class I SH3 binding motif of similar sequence to those identified by screening a phage display library with the LYN-SH3 domain. Truncation to remove the PDE4A5 isoform-specific N-terminal region caused a further reduction in membrane association and ablated localisation at the cell margin. Progressive truncation to delete the PDE4A long isoform common region and then the long isoform-specific UCR1 did not cause any further change in membrane association or intracellular distribution. However, deletion up to the super-short form splice junction generated an entirely soluble 'core' PDE4A species. We propose that multiple sites in the N-terminal noncatalytic portion of PDE4A5 have the potential to associate with intracellular structures and thus define its intracellular localisation. At least two such sites lie within the PDE4A5 isoform-specific N-terminal region and these appear to be primarily responsible for targeting PDE4A5 to, and organising it within, the cell margin; one is an SH3 binding motif able to interact with LYN kinase and the other lies within the C-terminal portion of the PDE4A5 unique region. A third membrane association region is located within the N-terminal portion of UCR2 and appears to be primarily responsible for targeting to the perinuclear region. Progressive N-terminal truncation, to delete defined regions of PDE4A5, identified activity changes occurring upon deletion of the SH3 binding site region and then upon deletion of the membrane association site region located within UCR2. This suggests that certain of these anchor sites may not only determine intracellular targeting but may also transduce regulatory effects on PDE4A5 activity.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play critical regulatory roles in mediating signal transduction. Previous studies have identified an unconventional, small-molecule, Src signal transduction inhibitor, UCS15A. UCS15A differed from conventional Src-inhibitors in that it did not alter the levels or the tyrosine kinase activity of Src. Our studies suggested that UCS15A exerted its Src-inhibitory effects by a novel mechanism that involved the disruption of protein-protein interactions mediated by Src. In the present study we have examined the ability of UCS15A to disrupt the interaction of Src-SH3 with Sam68, both in vivo and in vitro. This ability of UCS15A was not restricted to Src-SH3 mediated protein-protein interactions, since the drug was capable of disrupting the in vivo interactions of Sam68 with other SH3 domain containing proteins such as Grb2 and PLCgamma. In addition, UCS15A was capable of disrupting other typical SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions such as Grb2-Sos1, cortactin-ZO1, as well as atypical SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions such as Grb2-Gab1. However, UCS15A was unable to disrupt the non-SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions of beta-catenin, with E-cadherin and alpha-catenin. In addition, UCS15A had no effect on the SH2-mediated interaction between Grb2 and activated Epidermal Growth Factor receptor. Thus, the ability of UCS15A, to disrupt protein-protein interactions appeared to be restricted to SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions. In this regard, UCS15A represents the first example of a non-peptide, small molecule agent capable of disrupting SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions. In vitro analyses suggested that UCS15A did not bind to the SH3 domain itself but rather may interact directly with the target proline-rich domains.

Abstract
The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) regulates the proliferation, differentiation and survival of neutrophilic progenitor cells. In these studies, we introduced mutant G-CSFRs with cytoplasmic domains truncated approximately every 30 amino acids from the C-terminus into interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent myeloid LGM-1 cells. The G-CSFR membrane proximal region containing the Box 2 homology sequence was determined to be critical for proliferative signaling, as well as for activation of Janus kinase (JAK2) and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) following G-CSF stimulation. In the presence of increasing concentrations of JAK2 or p44/42 MAPK inhibitors, LGM-1 cells expressing the full-length G-CSFR exhibited a decreased capacity to proliferate in response to G-CSF. These results demonstrate that JAK2 and p44/42 MAPK activation is involved in proliferative signaling through the G-CSFR membrane proximal region containing the Box 2 homology sequence.
