Abstract
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the second most abundant protein in the central nervous system and is responsible for structural maintenance of the myelin sheath covering axons. Previously, we showed that MBP has a more proactive role in the oligodendrocyte homeostasis, interacting with membrane-associated proteins, including integral membrane protein 2B (ITM2B or Bri2) that is associated with familial dementias. Here, we report that the molecular dynamics of the in silico-generated MBP-Bri2 complex revealed that MBP covers a significant portion of the Bri2 ectodomain, assumingly trapping the furin cleavage site, while the surface of the BRICHOS domain, which is responsible for the multimerization and activation of the Bri2 high-molecular-weight oligomer chaperone function, remains unmasked. These observations were supported by the co-expression of MBP with Bri2, its mature form, and disease-associated mutants, which showed that in mammalian cells, MBP indeed modulates the post-translational processing of Bri2 by restriction of the furin-catalyzed release of its C-terminal peptide. Moreover, we showed that the co-expression of MBP and Bri2 also leads to an altered cellular localization of Bri2, restricting its membrane trafficking independently of the MBP-mediated suppression of the Bri2 C-terminal peptide release. Further investigations should elucidate if these observations have physiological meaning in terms of Bri2 as a MBP chaperone activated by the MBP-dependent postponement of Bri2 membrane trafficking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichobakin (TBK), a member of type I ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), was first successfully cloned from Trichosanthes sp Bac Kan 8-98 in Vietnam. Previous study has shown that TBK acts as a potential protein synthesis inhibitor; however, the inhibition efficiency and specificity of TBK on cancer cells remain to be fully elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS In this work, we employed TBK and TBK conjugated with a part of the amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), which contains the Ω-loop that primarily interacts with urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, and can be a powerful carrier in the drug delivery to cancer cells. Four different human tumor cell lines and BALB/c mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC) were used to evaluate the role of TBK and ATF-TBK in the inhibition of tumor growth. Here we showed that the obtained ligand fused RIP (ATF-TBK) reduced the growth of four human cancer cell lines in vitro in the uPA receptor level-dependent manner, including the breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB 231 cells and MCF7 cells, the prostate carcinoma LNCaP cells and the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the conjugate showed anti-tumor activity and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. The ATF-TBK also did not cause the death of mice with doses up to 48 mg/kg, and they were not significantly distinct on parameters of hematology and serum biochemistry between the control and experiment groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, ATF-TBK reduced the growth of four different human tumor cell lines and inhibited lung tumor growth in a mouse model with little side effects. Hence, the ATF-TBK may be a target to consider as an anti-cancer agent for clinical trials.

Abstract
Integral membrane proteins are important components of a cell. Their structural and functional studies require production of milligram amounts of proteins, which nowadays is not a routine process. Cell-free protein synthesis is a prospective approach to resolve this task. However, there are few known membrane mimetics that can be used to synthesize active membrane proteins in high amounts. Here, we present the application of commercially available "Facade" detergents for the production of active rhodopsin. We show that the yield of active protein in lipid bicelles containing Facade-EM, Facade-TEM, and Facade-EPC is several times higher than in the case of conventional bicelles with CHAPS and DHPC and is comparable to the yield in the presence of lipid-protein nanodiscs. Moreover, the effects of the lipid-to-detergent ratio, concentration of detergent in the feeding mixture, and lipid composition of the bicelles on the total, soluble, and active protein yields are discussed. We show that Facade-based bicelles represent a prospective membrane mimetic, available for the production of membrane proteins in a cell-free system.

Abstract
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides in the brain. The processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) into Aβ is dependent on the location of APP in the membrane, membrane lipid composition and, possibly, presence of lipid rafts. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the interaction between transmembrane fragment APP672-726 (corresponding to Aβ1-55) and its amyloidogenic mutant L723P with membranes combining liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered lipid phases. Our results demonstrated that most of the APP672-726 is located either in the liquid-disordered phase or at the boundary between ordered and disordered phases, and hardly ever in rafts. We did not notice any major changes in the domain structure induced by APP672-726. In membranes without cholesterol APP672-726, and especially its amyloidogenic mutant L723P formed annular structures and clusters rising above the membrane. Presence of cholesterol led to the appearance of concave membrane regions up to 2 nm in depth that were deeper for wild type APP672-726. Thus, membrane cholesterol regulates changes in membrane structure and permeability induced by APP that might be connected with further formation of membrane pores.

Abstract
The crystal structure of bacterial oligopeptidase B from Serratia proteamaculans (SpOpB) in complex with a chloromethyl ketone inhibitor was determined at 2.2 Å resolution. SpOpB was crystallized in a closed (catalytically active) conformation. A single inhibitor molecule bound simultaneously to the catalytic residues S532 and H652 mimicked a tetrahedral intermediate of the catalytic reaction. A comparative analysis of the obtained structure and the structure of OpB from Trypanosoma brucei (TbOpB) in a closed conformation showed that in both enzymes, the stabilization of the D-loop (carrying the catalytic D) in a position favorable for the formation of a tetrahedral complex occurs due to interaction with the neighboring loop from the β-propeller. However, the modes of interdomain interactions were significantly different for bacterial and protozoan OpBs. Instead of a salt bridge (as in TbOpB), in SpOpB, a pair of polar residues following the catalytic D617 and a pair of neighboring arginine residues from the β-propeller domain formed complementary oppositely charged surfaces. Bioinformatics analysis and structural modeling show that all bacterial OpBs can be divided into two large groups according to these two modes of D-loop stabilization in closed conformations.

Abstract
Many human diseases including cancer, degenerative and autoimmune disorders, diabetes and others are multifactorial. Pharmaceutical agents acting on a single target do not provide their efficient curation. Multitargeted drugs exhibiting pleiotropic pharmacological effects have certain advantages due to the normalization of the complex pathological processes of different etiology. Extracts of medicinal plants (EMP) containing multiple phytocomponents are widely used in traditional medicines for multifactorial disorders' treatment. Experimental studies of pharmacological potential for multicomponent compositions are quite expensive and time-consuming. In silico evaluation of EMP the pharmacological potential may provide the basis for selecting the most promising directions of testing and for identifying potential additive/synergistic effects. Multiphytoadaptogen (MPhA) containing 70 major phytocomponents of different chemical classes from 40 medicinal plant extracts has been studied in vitro, in vivo and in clinical researches. Antiproliferative and anti-tumor activities have been shown against some tumors as well as evidence-based therapeutic effects against age-related pathologies. In addition, the neuroprotective, antioxidant, antimutagenic, radioprotective, and immunomodulatory effects of MPhA were confirmed. Analysis of the PASS profiles of the biological activity of MPhA phytocomponents showed that most of the predicted anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects were consistent with the results of laboratory and clinical studies. Antimutagenic, immunomodulatory, radioprotective, neuroprotective and anti-Parkinsonian effects were also predicted for most of the phytocomponents. Effects associated with positive effects on the male and female reproductive systems have been identified too. Thus, PASS and PharmaExpert can be used to evaluate the pharmacological potential of complex pharmaceutical compositions containing natural products.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative pathology with no effective treatment known. Toxic amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) oligomers play a crucial role in AD pathogenesis. All-d-Enantiomeric peptide D3 and its derivatives were developed to disassemble and destroy cytotoxic Aβ aggregates. One of the D3-like compounds is approaching phase II clinical trials; however, high-resolution details of its disease-preventing or pharmacological actions are not completely clear. We demonstrate that peptide D3 stabilizing Aβ monomer dynamically interacts with the extracellular juxtamembrane region of a membrane-bound fragment of an amyloid precursor protein containing the Aβ sequence. MD simulations based on NMR measurement results suggest that D3 targets the amyloidogenic region, not compromising its α-helicity and preventing intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus creating prerequisites for inhibition of early steps of Aβ conversion into β-conformation and its toxic oligomerization. An enhanced understanding of the D3 action molecular mechanism facilitates development of effective AD treatment and prevention strategies.

Abstract
Dysregulation of post-translational modifications (PTMs) like phosphorylation is often involved in disease. NMR may elucidate exact loci and time courses of PTMs at atomic resolution and near-physiological conditions but requires signal assignment to individual atoms. Conventional NMR methods for this base on tedious global signal assignment that may often fail, as for large intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). We present a sensitive, robust alternative to rapidly obtain only the local assignment near affected signals, based on FOcused SpectroscopY (FOSY) experiments using selective polarisation transfer (SPT). We prove its efficiency by identifying two phosphorylation sites of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) in human Tau40, an IDP of 441 residues, where the extreme spectral dispersion in FOSY revealed unprimed phosphorylation also of Ser409. FOSY may broadly benefit NMR studies of PTMs and other hotspots in IDPs, including sites involved in molecular interactions.

Abstract
Based on the prediction of biological activity spectra for several secondary metabolites of medicinal plants using the PASS computer program and validation in vitro of the predictions results the priority direction of the pharmaceutical composition Phytoladaptogene (PLA) development was determined. PLA is a complex of structurally diverse small organic compounds including biologically active substances of phytoadaptogenes (ginsenosides from Panax ginseng, rhodionin from Rhodiola rosea and others) compiled considering previously developed pharmaceutical compositions. Two variants of the pharmaceutical composition were studied: - the major and minor variants included 22 and 13 compounds, respectively. The probability of activity exceeds the probability of inactivity for 1400 out of 1945 pharmacological effects and mechanisms predicted by PASS for the major variant of PLA. The wide range of predicted activities is mainly due to the low structural similarity of constituent compounds. An in silico prediction indicates the possibilities of antitumor properties against bladder, stomach, colon, ovarian and cervical cancers both for minor and major PLA compositions. It was found that the highest probability values of activity were predicted for three mechanisms: apoptosis agonist, caspase-3 stimulant, and transcription factor NF-κB inhibitor. According to the PharmaExpert program they are associated with the antitumor effect against bladder cancer. Experimental validation was using the human bladder cancer cell line RT-112. The results of the MTT test have shown that the cytotoxicity of the major PLA variant is higher than that of the minor PLA variant. In vitro experiments performed using two methods (double staining with annexin V and propidium iodide and detection of active caspase-3 in cells) confirmed that the death of bladder cancer cells occurred via the apoptotic mechanism. The data obtained correspond to the results of the prediction and indicate advantages of the major PLA composition. Thus, PLA can become the basis for the development of a drug with the antitumor activity against bladder cancer. The antitumor activity predicted by PASS for other cancers may be the subject of further studies.

Abstract
Emfourin (M4in) from Serratia proteamaculans is a new proteinaceous inhibitor of protealysin-like proteases (PLPs), a subgroup of the well-known and widely represented metallopeptidase M4 family. Although the biological role of PLPs is debatable, data published indicate their involvement in pathogenesis, including bacterial invasion into eukaryotic cells, suppression of immune defense of some animals, and destruction of plant cell walls. Gene colocalization into a bicistronic operon observed for some PLPs and their inhibitors (as in the case of M4in) implies a mutually consistent functioning of both entities. The originality of the amino acid sequence of M4in suggests it belongs to a previously unknown protein family and this encourages structural studies. In this work, we report a near-complete assignment of 1H, 13C, and 15N resonances of recombinant M4in and its structural-dynamic properties derived from the chemical shifts. According the NMR data analysis, the M4in molecule comprises 3-5 helical elements and 4-6 β-strands, at least two of which are apparently antiparallel, ascribing this obviously globular protein to the α + β structural class. Besides, two disordered regions also exist in the central loops between the regular secondary structural elements. The obtained data provide the basis for determining the high-resolution structure as well as functioning mechanism of M4in that can be used for development of new antibacterial therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The insulin receptor (IR), insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R), and insulin receptor-related receptor (IRR) form a mini family of predimerized receptor-like tyrosine kinases. IR and IGF-1R bind to their peptide agonists triggering metabolic and cell growth responses. In contrast, IRR, despite sharing with them a strong sequence homology, has no peptide-like agonist but can be activated by mildly alkaline media. The spatial structure and activation mechanisms of IRR have not been established yet. The present work represents the first account of a structural analysis of a predimerized receptor-like tyrosine kinase by high-resolution atomic force microscopy in their basal and activated forms. Our data suggest that in neutral media, inactive IRR has two conformations, where one is symmetrical and highly similar to the inactive Λ/U-shape of IR and IGF-1R ectodomains, whereas the second is drop-like and asymmetrical resembling the IRR ectodomain in solution. We did not observe complexes of IRR intracellular catalytic domains of the inactive receptor forms. At pH 9.0, we detected two presumably active IRR conformations, Γ-shaped and T-shaped. Both of conformations demonstrated formation of the complex of their intracellular catalytic domains responsible for autophosphorylation. The existence of two active IRR forms correlates well with the previously described positive cooperativity of the IRR activation. In conclusion, our data provide structural insights into the molecular mechanisms of alkali-induced IRR activation under mild native conditions that could be valuable for interpretation of results of IR and IGF-IR structural studies.

Abstract
Sialidases, or neuraminidases, are involved in several human disorders such as neurodegenerative, infectious and cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. Accumulative data have shown that inhibition of neuraminidases, such as NEU1 sialidase, may be a promising pharmacological target, and selective inhibitors of NEU1 are therefore needed to better understand the biological functions of this sialidase. In the present study, we designed interfering peptides (IntPep) that target a transmembrane dimerization interface previously identified in human NEU1 that controls its membrane dimerization and sialidase activity. Two complementary strategies were used to deliver the IntPep into cells, either flanked to a TAT sequence or non-tagged for solubilization in detergent micelles. Combined with molecular dynamics simulations and heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in membrane-mimicking environments, our results show that these IntPep are able to interact with the dimerization interface of human NEU1, to disrupt membrane NEU1 dimerization and to strongly decrease its sialidase activity at the plasma membrane. In conclusion, we report here new selective inhibitors of human NEU1 of strong interest to elucidate the biological functions of this sialidase.

Abstract
Despite the biological significance of insulin signaling, the molecular mechanisms of activation of the insulin receptor (IR) and other proteins from its family remain elusive. Current hypothesis on signal transduction suggests ligand-triggered structural changes in the extracellular domain followed by transmembrane (TM) domains closure and dimerization leading to trans-autophosphorylation and kinase activity in intracellular segments of the receptor. Using NMR spectroscopy, we detected dimerization of isolated TM segments of IR in different membrane-mimicking environments and observed multiple signals of NH groups of protein backbone possibly corresponding to several dimer conformations. Taking available experimental data as constraints, several atomistic models of dimeric TM domains of IR and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1R) receptors were elaborated. Molecular dynamics simulations of IR ectodomain revealed noticeable collective movements potentially responsible for closure of the C-termini of FnIII-3 domains and spatial approaching of TM helices upon insulin-induced receptor activation. In addition, we demonstrated that the intracellular part of the receptor does not impose restrictions on the positioning of TM helices in the membrane. Finally, we used two independent structure prediction methods to generate a series of dimer conformations followed by their cluster analysis and dimerization free energy estimation to select the best dimer models. Biological relevance of the later was further tested via comparison of the hydrophobic organization of TM helices for both wild-type receptors and their mutants. Based on these data, the ability of several segments from other proteins to functionally replace IR and/or IGF-1R TM domains was explained.

Abstract
Trichobakin (TBK) is a type-I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP-I), acting as an extremely potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in the cell-free translation system of rabbit reticulocyte lysate (IC50: 3.5 pM). In this respect, TBK surpasses the well-studied highly homologous RIP-I trichosanthin (IC50: 20-27 pM), therefore creation of recombinant toxins based on it is of great interest. TBK needs to penetrate into cytosol through the cell membrane and specifically bind to α-sarcin/ricin loop of 28S ribosome RNA to perform the function of specific RNA depurination. At the moment, there is no detailed structural-dynamic information in solution about diverse states RIP-I can adopt at different stages on the way to protein synthesis inhibition. In this work, we report a near-complete assignment of 1H, 13C, and 15N TBK (27.3 kDa) resonances and analysis of the secondary structure based on the experimental chemical shifts data. This work will serve as a basis for further investigations of the structure, dynamics and interactions of the TBK with its molecular partners using NMR techniques.

Abstract
Insulin receptor-related receptor (IRR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the insulin receptor family and functions as an extracellular alkali sensor that controls metabolic alkalosis in the regulation of the acid-base balance. In the present work, we sought to analyze structural features of IRR by comparing them with those of the insulin receptor, which is its closest homolog but does not respond to pH changes. Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), we investigated the overall conformation of the recombinant soluble IRR ectodomain (ectoIRR) at neutral and alkaline pH. In contrast to the well-known inverted U-shaped (or λ-shaped) conformation of the insulin receptor, the structural models reconstructed at different pH values revealed that the ectoIRR organization has a "droplike" shape with a shorter distance between the fibronectin domains of the disulfide-linked dimer subunits within ectoIRR. We detected no large-scale pH-dependent conformational changes of ectoIRR in both SAXS and AFM experiments, an observation that agreed well with previous biochemical and functional analyses of IRR. Our findings indicate that ectoIRR's sensing of alkaline conditions involves additional molecular mechanisms, for example engagement of receptor juxtamembrane regions or the surrounding lipid environment.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is an age-related pathology associated with accumulation of amyloid-β peptides, products of enzymatic cleavage of amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) by secretases. Several familial mutations causing early onset of the disease have been identified in the APP transmembrane (TM) domain. The mutations influence production of amyloid-β, but the molecular mechanisms of this effect are unclear. The "Australian" (L723P) mutation located in the C-termini of APP TM domain is associated with autosomal-dominant, early onset Alzheimer's disease. Herein, we describe the impact of familial L723P mutation on the structural-dynamic behavior of APP TM domain studied by high-resolution NMR in membrane-mimicking micelles and augmented by molecular dynamics simulations in explicit lipid bilayer. We found L723P mutation to cause local unfolding of the C-terminal turn of the APP TM domain helix and increase its accessibility to water required for cleavage of the protein backbone by γ-secretase in the ε-site, thus switching between alternative ("pathogenic" and "non-pathogenic") cleavage cascades. These findings suggest a straightforward mechanism of the pathogenesis associated with this mutation, and are of generic import for understanding the molecular-level events associated with APP sequential proteolysis resulting in accumulation of the pathogenic forms of amyloid-β. Moreover, age-related onset of Alzheimer's disease can be explained by a similar mechanism, where the effect of mutation is emulated by the impact of local environmental factors, such as oxidative stress and/or membrane lipid composition. Knowledge of the mechanisms regulating generation of amyloidogenic peptides of different lengths is essential for development of novel treatment strategies of the Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Side chains possess a broader conformational space (compared to the backbone) and are directly affected by intra- and intermolecular interactions, hence their dynamics and the corresponding NMR relaxation data are more sensitive and informative. Nevertheless, transverse relaxation in [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]) spin systems is predominantly non-measurable in uniformly [Formula: see text]-labeled proteins due to cross-correlation effects. In the present publication, we propose a number of pulse sequences for accurate and precise measurement of the dipole-dipole transverse cross-correlated relaxation rate [Formula: see text], which, similarly to [Formula: see text] measurements, provides information about the amplitudes of intramolecular dynamics. The suggested approach has allowed us to circumvent a number of obstacles that were limiting earlier applications of [Formula: see text]: (1) impossibility of transmission of the central component of the triplet of [Formula: see text] group to [Formula: see text]-acquisition via INEPT has been solved by transmission of the averaged signal of "inner" and "outer" components of the triplet; (2) direct recording of the entire triplets resulting in substantial overlap of side chain signals has been replaced by recording of individual singlets with the use of [Formula: see text]-modulated approach and constant-time evolution; (3) low sensitivity has been enhanced via proton acquisition which required special attention to a zero-quantum coherence evolution. The proposed method expands the set of "dynamics sensors" covering protein side chains and substantially improves the quality and the level of detail of experimental data describing dynamic processes in proteins and protein complexes.

Abstract
Single-point mutations in the transmembrane (TM) region of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) can lead to abnormal ligand-independent activation. We use a combination of computational modeling, NMR spectroscopy and cell experiments to analyze in detail the mechanism of how TM domains contribute to the activation of wild-type (WT) PDGFRA and its oncogenic V536E mutant. Using a computational framework, we scan all positions in PDGFRA TM helix for identification of potential functional mutations for the WT and the mutant and reveal the relationship between the receptor activity and TM dimerization via different interfaces. This strategy also allows us design a novel activating mutation in the WT (I537D) and a compensatory mutation in the V536E background eliminating its constitutive activity (S541G). We show both computationally and experimentally that single-point mutations in the TM region reshape the TM dimer ensemble and delineate the structural and dynamic determinants of spontaneous activation of PDGFRA via its TM domain. Our atomistic picture of the coupling between TM dimerization and PDGFRA activation corroborates the data obtained for other RTKs and provides a foundation for developing novel modulators of the pathological activity of PDGFRA.

Abstract
The histone-like (HU) protein is one of the major nucleoid-associated proteins of the bacterial nucleoid, which shares high sequence and structural similarity with IHF but differs from the latter in DNA-specificity. Here, we perform an analysis of structural-dynamic properties of HU protein from Spiroplasma melliferum and compare its behavior in solution to that of another mycoplasmal HU from Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The high-resolution heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy was coupled with molecular-dynamics study and comparative analysis of thermal denaturation of both mycoplasmal HU proteins. We suggest that stacking interactions in two aromatic clusters in the HUSpm dimeric interface determine not only high thermal stability of the protein, but also its structural plasticity experimentally observed as slow conformational exchange. One of these two centers of stacking interactions is highly conserved among the known HU and IHF proteins. Second aromatic core described recently in IHFs and IHF-like proteins is considered as a discriminating feature of IHFs. We performed an electromobility shift assay to confirm high affinities of HUSpm to both normal and distorted dsDNA, which are the characteristics of HU protein. MD simulations of HUSpm with alanine mutations of the residues forming the non-conserved aromatic cluster demonstrate its role in dimer stabilization, as both partial and complete distortion of the cluster enhances local flexibility of HUSpm.

Abstract
In the case of soluble proteins, chemical shift mapping is used to identify the intermolecular interfaces when the NOE-based calculations of spatial structure of the molecular assembly are impossible or impracticable. However, the reliability of the membrane protein interface mapping based on chemical shifts or other relevant parameters was never assessed. In the present work, we investigate the predictive power of various NMR parameters that can be used for mapping of helix-helix interfaces in dimeric TM domains. These parameters are studied on a dataset containing three structures of helical dimers obtained for two different proteins in various membrane mimetics. We conclude that the amide chemical shifts have very little predictive value, while the methyl chemical shifts could be used to predict interfaces, though with great care. We suggest an approach based on conversion of the carbon NMR relaxation parameters of methyl groups into parameters of motion, and one of such values, the characteristic time of methyl rotation, appears to be a reliable sensor of interhelix contacts in transmembrane domains. The carbon NMR relaxation parameters of methyl groups can be measured accurately and with high sensitivity and resolution, making the proposed parameter a useful tool for investigation of protein-protein interfaces even in large membrane proteins. An approach to build the models of transmembrane dimers based on perturbations of methyl parameters and TMDOCK software is suggested.

Abstract
We studied the influence of nontoxic phytoadaptogen complex on the lifespan and somatic status (body weight, coat state, and motor activity) of CBA mice predisposed to spontaneous hepatomas. Administration of the complex phytoadaptogen during the first month of postnatal ontogeny increased mean animal lifespan by 17.1% (p<0.001) and median of survival by 25.6% (p<0.001) and promoted maintenance of satisfactory physical status of CBA mice during spontaneous hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Neuraminidase 1 (NEU1) is a lysosomal sialidase catalyzing the removal of terminal sialic acids from sialyloconjugates. A plasma membrane-bound NEU1 modulating a plethora of receptors by desialylation, has been consistently documented from the last ten years. Despite a growing interest of the scientific community to NEU1, its membrane organization is not understood and current structural and biochemical data cannot account for such membrane localization. By combining molecular biology and biochemical analyses with structural biophysics and computational approaches, we identified here two regions in human NEU1 - segments 139-159 (TM1) and 316-333 (TM2) - as potential transmembrane (TM) domains. In membrane mimicking environments, the corresponding peptides form stable α-helices and TM2 is suited for self-association. This was confirmed with full-size NEU1 by co-immunoprecipitations from membrane preparations and split-ubiquitin yeast two hybrids. The TM2 region was shown to be critical for dimerization since introduction of point mutations within TM2 leads to disruption of NEU1 dimerization and decrease of sialidase activity in membrane. In conclusion, these results bring new insights in the molecular organization of membrane-bound NEU1 and demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of two potential TM domains that may anchor NEU1 in the membrane, control its dimerization and sialidase activity.

Abstract
The histone-like (HU) protein is one of the major nucleoid-associated proteins involved in DNA supercoiling and compaction into bacterial nucleoid as well as in all DNA-dependent transactions. This small positively charged dimeric protein binds DNA in a non-sequence specific manner promoting DNA super-structures. The majority of HU proteins are highly conserved among bacteria; however, HU protein from Mycoplasma gallisepticum (HUMgal) has multiple amino acid substitutions in the most conserved regions, which are believed to contribute to its specificity to DNA targets unusual for canonical HU proteins. In this work, we studied the structural dynamic properties of the HUMgal dimer by NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations. The obtained all-atom model displays compliance with the NMR data and confirms the heterogeneous backbone flexibility of HUMgal. We found that HUMgal, being folded into a dimeric conformation typical for HU proteins, has a labile α-helical body with protruded β-stranded arms forming DNA-binding domain that are highly flexible in the absence of DNA. The amino acid substitutions in conserved regions of the protein are likely to affect the conformational lability of the HUMgal dimer that can be responsible for complex functional behavior of HUMgal in vivo, e.g. facilitating its spatial adaptation to non-canonical DNA-targets.

Abstract
Interaction between transmembrane helices often determines biological activity of membrane proteins. Bitopic proteins, a broad subclass of membrane proteins, form dimers containing two membrane-spanning helices. Some aspects of their structure-function relationship cannot be fully understood without considering the protein-lipid interaction, which can determine the protein conformational ensemble. Experimental and computer modeling data concerning transmembrane parts of bitopic proteins are reviewed in the present paper. They highlight the importance of lipid-protein interactions and resolve certain paradoxes in the behavior of such proteins. Besides, some properties of membrane organization provided a clue to understanding of allosteric interactions between distant parts of proteins. Interactions of these kinds appear to underlie a signaling mechanism, which could be widely employed in the functioning of many membrane proteins. Treatment of membrane proteins as parts of integrated fine-tuned proteolipid system promises new insights into biological function mechanisms and approaches to drug design. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Lipid order/lipid defects and lipid-control of protein activity edited by Dirk Schneider.

Abstract
The goal of the study was to elaborate the pharmacokinetics methods of the amide derivative of peptide HLDF-6 (TGENHR-NH2) and its range of nootropic and neuroprotective activity is wide. The hexapeptide 41TGENHR46 is a fragment of the HDLF differentiation factor. It forms the basis for the development of preventive and therapeutic preparations for treating cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative conditions. Pharmacokinetic and molecular mechanisms of the action of the HLDF-6 peptide were studied using tritium- and deuterium-labeled derivatives of this peptide, produced with the use of the high-temperature solid-state catalytic isotope exchange reaction (HSCIE). This reaction was employed to produce the tritium-labeled peptide [3H]TGENHR-NH2 with a molar radioactivity of 230 Ci/mmol and the deuterium-labeled peptide [2H]TGENHR-NH2 with an average deuterium incorporation equal to 10.5 atoms. It was shown by the NMR spectroscopy that the isotope label distribution over the labeled peptide's molecule was uniform, which allowed qualitative analysis ofboth the peptide itself and its fragments in the organism's tissues to be conducted. The newly developed pharmacokinetics method makes it possible to avoid almost completely losses of the peptides under study due to biodegradation during the analysis of tissues. These labeled peptides were used in mice, rats and rabbits to study the pharmacokinetics of the peptide and to calculate the values of its principal pharmacokinetic parameters. Characteristics of its pharmacokinetic profile in the blood were obtained, the hypothesis of pharmacokinetics linearity tested, its metabolism analyzed and its bioavailability value, 34%, calculated. It has been shown that the studied TGENHR-NH2 peptide shows high resistance to hydrolysis in the blood plasma, with dipeptidyl aminopeptidases making the largest contribution to its hydrolysis.

Abstract
Structural investigations need ready supply of the isotope labeled proteins with inserted mutations n the quantities sufficient for the heteronuclear NMR. Though cell-free expression system has been widely used in the past years, high startup cost and complex compound composition prevent many researches from the developing this technique, especially for membrane protein production. Here we demonstrate the utility of a robust, cost-optimized cell-free expression technique for production of the physiologically important transmembrane fragment of amyloid precursor protein, APP686-726, containing Alzheimer's disease mutations in the juxtamembrane (E693G, Arctic form) and the transmembrane parts (V717G, London form, or L723P, Australian form). The protein cost was optimized by varying the FM/RM ratio as well as the amino acid concentration. We obtained the wild-type and mutant transmembrane fragments in the pellet mode of continuous exchange cell-free system consuming only commercial algal mixture of the (13)C,(15)N-labeled amino acids. Scaling up analytical tests, we achieved milligram quantity yields of isotope labeled wild-type and mutant APP686-726 for structural studies by high resolution NMR spectroscopy in membrane mimicking environment. The described approach has from 5 to 23-fold cost advantage over the bacterial expression methods described earlier and 1.5 times exceeds our previous result obtained with the longer APP671-726WT fragment.

Abstract
The human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) of HER/ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family mediates a broad spectrum of cellular responses transducing biochemical signals via lateral dimerization in plasma membrane, while inactive receptors can exist in both monomeric and dimeric forms. Recently, the dimeric conformation of the helical single-span transmembrane domains of HER/ErbB employing the relatively polar N-terminal motifs in a fashion permitting proper kinase activation was experimentally determined. Here we describe the EGFR transmembrane domain dimerization via an alternative weakly polar C-terminal motif A(661)xxxG(665) presumably corresponding to the inactive receptor state. During association, the EGFR transmembrane helices undergo a structural adjustment with adaptation of inter-molecular polar and hydrophobic interactions depending upon the surrounding membrane properties that directly affect the transmembrane helix packing. This might imply that signal transduction through membrane and allosteric regulation are inclusively mediated by coupled protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions, elucidating paradoxically loose linkage between ligand binding and kinase activation.

Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinases of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER or ErbB) family transduce biochemical signals across plasma membrane, playing a significant role in vital cellular processes and in various cancers. Inactive HER/ErbB receptors exist in equilibrium between the monomeric and unspecified pre-dimerized states. After ligand binding, the receptors are involved in strong lateral dimerization with proper assembly of their extracellular ligand-binding, single-span transmembrane, and cytoplasmic kinase domains. The dimeric conformation of the HER2 transmembrane domain that is believed to support the cytoplasmic kinase domain configuration corresponding to the receptor active state was previously described in lipid bicelles. Here we used high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in another membrane-mimicking micellar environment and identified an alternative HER2 transmembrane domain dimerization coupled with self-association of membrane-embedded cytoplasmic juxtamembrane region. Such a dimerization mode appears to be capable of effectively inhibiting the receptor kinase activity. This finding refines the molecular mechanism regarding the signal propagation steps from the extracellular to cytoplasmic domains of HER/ErbB receptors.

Abstract
Mature transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) is a homodimeric protein with a single disulfide bridge between Cys77 on the respective monomers. The synthetic DNA sequence encoding the mature human TGF-β1/C77S (further termed TGF-β1m) was cloned into plasmid pET-32a downstream to the gene of fusion partner thioredoxin (Trx) immediately after the DNA sequence encoding enteropeptidase recognition site. High-level expression (~1.5 g l(-1)) of Trx/TGF-β1m fusion was achieved in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain mainly in insoluble form. The fusion was solubilized and refolded in glutathione redox system in the presence of zwitterionic detergent CHAPS. After refolding, Trx/TGF-β1m fusion was cleaved by enteropeptidase, and the carrier protein of TGF-β1m was separated from thioredoxin on Ni-NTA agarose. Separation of monomeric molecules from the noncovalently bounded oligomers was done using cation-exchange chromatography. The structure of purified TGF-β1m was confirmed by circular dichroism analysis. The developed technology allowed purifying biologically active tag-free monomeric TGF-β1m from bacteria with a yield of about 2.8 mg from 100 ml cell culture. The low-cost and easy purification steps allow considering that our proposed preparation of recombinant monomeric TGF-β1 could be employed for in vitro and in vivo experiments as well as for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Motor neuron disease (MND), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and the brain. Several angiogenic and neurogenic growth factors, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiogenin (ANG), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and others, have been shown to promote survival of the spinal motor neurons during ischemia. We constructed recombinant vectors using human adenovirus 5 (Ad5) carrying the VEGF, ANG or IGF genes under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter. As a model for MND, we employed a transgenic mice strain, B6SJL-Tg (SOD1*G93A)d11 Gur/J that develops a progressive degeneration of the spinal motor neurons caused by the expression of a mutated Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene SOD1. Delivery of the therapeutic genes to the spinal motor neurons was done using the effect of the retrograde axonal transport after multiple injections of the Ad5-VEGF, Ad5-ANG and Ad5-IGF vectors and their combinations into the limbs and back muscles of the SOD1(G93A) mice. Viral transgene expression in the spinal cord motor neurons was confirmed by immunocytochemistry and RT-RCR. We assessed the neurological status, motor activity and lifespan of experimental and control animal groups. We discovered that SOD1(G93A) mice injected with the Ad5-VEGF + Ad5-ANG combination showed a 2-3 week delay in manifestation of the disease, higher motor activity at the advanced stages of the disease, and at least a 10% increase in the lifespan compared to the control and other experimental groups. These results support the safety and therapeutic efficacy of the tested recombinant treatment. We propose that the developed experimental MND treatment based on viral delivery of VEGF + ANG can be used as a basis for gene therapy drug development and testing in the preclinical and clinical trials of the MND.

Abstract
The EphA2 receptor tyrosine kinase plays a central role in the regulation of cell adhesion and guidance in many human tissues. The activation of EphA2 occurs after proper dimerization/oligomerization in the plasma membrane, which occurs with the participation of extracellular and cytoplasmic domains. Our study revealed that the isolated transmembrane domain (TMD) of EphA2 embedded into the lipid bicelle dimerized via the heptad repeat motif L(535)X3G(539)X2A(542)X3V(546)X2L(549) rather than through the alternative glycine zipper motif A(536)X3G(540)X3G(544) (typical for TMD dimerization in many proteins). To evaluate the significance of TMD interactions for full-length EphA2, we substituted key residues in the heptad repeat motif (HR variant: G539I, A542I, G553I) or in the glycine zipper motif (GZ variant: G540I, G544I) and expressed YFP-tagged EphA2 (WT, HR, and GZ variants) in HEK293T cells. Confocal microscopy revealed a similar distribution of all EphA2-YFP variants in cells. The expression of EphA2-YFP variants and their kinase activity (phosphorylation of Tyr(588) and/or Tyr(594)) and ephrin-A3 binding were analyzed with flow cytometry on a single cell basis. Activation of any EphA2 variant is found to occur even without ephrin stimulation when the EphA2 content in cells is sufficiently high. Ephrin-A3 binding is not affected in mutant variants. Mutations in the TMD have a significant effect on EphA2 activity. Both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent activities are enhanced for the HR variant and reduced for the GZ variant compared with the WT. These findings allow us to suggest TMD dimerization switching between the heptad repeat and glycine zipper motifs, corresponding to inactive and active receptor states, respectively, as a mechanism underlying EphA2 signal transduction.

Abstract
Multiphytoadaptogene (MPA) consists of plant extracts components including adaptogenes. Genotoxicity analysis revealed the antimutagenic activity of MPA. MPA decreased the direct mutations frequency in ADE4-ADE8 loci induced by UV radiation and nitrous acid by 3.7 and 33 times, respectively. The lethal effect of UV radiation was inhibited when the preparation was used. MPA had no effect on replicative mutagenesis. At the same time it depressed mutagenesis caused by repair errors. The data obtained suggest the antimutagenic activity of multiphytoadaptogene is associated with postreplicative repair activation.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) transduces biochemical signals via lateral dimerization in the plasma membrane, and plays an important role in human development and disease. Eight different pathogenic mutations, implicated in cancers and growth disorders, have been identified in the FGFR3 transmembrane segment. Here, we describe the dimerization of the FGFR3 transmembrane domain in membrane-mimicking DPC/SDS (9/1) micelles. In the solved NMR structure, the two transmembrane helices pack into a symmetric left-handed dimer, with intermolecular stacking interactions occurring in the dimer central region. Some pathogenic mutations fall within the helix-helix interface, whereas others are located within a putative alternative interface. This implies that although the observed dimer structure is important for FGFR3 signaling, the mechanism of FGFR3-mediated transduction across the membrane is complex. We propose an FGFR3 signaling mechanism that is based on the solved structure, available structures of isolated soluble FGFR domains, and published biochemical and biophysical data.

Abstract
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease that converts the plasminogen zymogen into the enzymatically active plasmin. uPA is synthesized and secreted as the single-chain molecule (scuPA) composed of an N-terminal domain (GFD) and kringle (KD) and C-terminal proteolytic (PD) domains. Earlier, the structure of ATF (which consists of GFD and KD) was solved by NMR (A. P. Hansen et al. (1994) Biochemistry, 33, 4847-4864) and by X-ray crystallography alone and in a complex with the soluble form of the urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87) lacking GPI (C. Barinka et al. (2006) J. Mol. Biol., 363, 482-495). According to these data, GFD contains two β-sheet regions oriented perpendicularly to each other. The area in the GFD responsible for binding to uPAR is localized in the flexible Ω-loop, which consists of seven amino acid residues connecting two strings of antiparallel β-sheet. It was shown by site-directed mutagenesis that shortening of the Ω-loop length by one amino acid residue leads to the inability of GFD to bind to uPAR (V. Magdolen et al. (1996) Eur. J. Biochem., 237, 743-751). Here we show that, in contrast to the above-mentioned studies, we found no sign of the β-sheet regions in GFD in our uPA preparations either free or in a complex with uPAR. The GFD seems to be a rather flexible and unstructured domain, demonstrating in spite of its apparent flexibility highly specific interaction with uPAR both in vitro and in cell culture experiments. Circular dichroism, tryptophan fluorescence during thermal denaturation of the protein, and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy of ¹⁵N/¹³C-labeled ATF both free and in complex with urokinase receptor were used to judge the secondary structure of GFD of uPA.

Abstract
The purpose of the work was to elucidate the radioprotective efficacy of multyphytoadaptogene (MPA) in dogs in various conditions of gamma radiation and MPA application. Dogs were given 15% MPA solution with drinking water in 3,6 ml/kg dose per day 2 weeks before the radiating (preventive application), 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the radiating (preventive and therapeutic application) as well as 2 weeks after the radiating only (therapeutic application). Animals of control groups received radiation. Dogs were exposed to 3,5 Cy acute radiation and 8,0 Gy prolonged radiation. There were no survived dogs in control groups. At the same time MPA increased dogs survival in preventive, preventive and therapeutic as well as therapeutic applications after 3,5 Gy acute radiation and after 8,0 Gy prolonged radiation. MPA improved the somatic state, interfere with leukocytes amount in blood. The data obtained suggest the radioprotective efficacy of MPA.

Abstract
The aim of the work was to elucidate the radioprotective activity of multyphytoadaptogene (MPA) in mice in various conditions of gamma radiation and MPA application. Males of CBA x C57BL/6 F1 mice were given 15% MPA solution with drinking water 2 weeks before the radiating (preventive application), 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the radiating (preventive and therapeutic application) and also 2 weeks after the radiating only (therapeutic application). Animals of control groups received radiation or were given 5% ethanol solution in drinking water in the same application schemes. MPA increased the mice survival in preventive, preventive and therapeutic as well as therapeutic applications after 7.5 Gy radiation (66.7: 66.4 and 40.2% correspondingly). After 11.0 Gy radiation MPA increased the mice survival in preventive as well as preventive and therapeutic applications (75.0 and 76.9% correspondingly). MPA administration improved the somatic state, weight of animals, quality of life. MPA has no side effects. The data suggest the radioprotective activity of MPA.

Abstract
Mutations in transmembrane (TM) domains of receptor tyrosine kinases are shown to cause a number of inherited diseases and cancer development. Here, we use a combined molecular modeling approach to understand molecular mechanism of effect of G380R and A391E mutations on dimerization of TM domains of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). According to results of Monte Carlo conformational search in the implicit membrane and further molecular dynamics simulations, TM dimer of this receptor is able to form a number of various conformations, which differ significantly by the free energy of association in a full-atom model bilayer. The aforementioned mutations affect dimerization efficiency of TM segments and lead to repopulation of conformational ensemble for the dimer. Particularly, both mutations do not change the dimerization free energy of the predominant (putative "non-active") symmetric conformation of TM dimer, while affect dimerization efficiency of its asymmetric ("intermediate") and alternative symmetric (putative "active") models. Results of our simulations provide novel atomistic prospective of the role of G380 and A391E mutations in dimerization of TM domains of FGFR3 and their consecutive contributions to the activation pathway of the receptor.

Abstract
Some pathogenic mutations associated with Alzheimer's disease are thought to affect structural-dynamic properties and the lateral dimerization of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in neuron membrane. Dimeric structure of APP transmembrane fragment Gln(686)-Lys(726) was determined in membrane-mimicking dodecylphosphocholine micelles using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. The APP membrane-spanning α-helix Lys(699)-Lys(724) self-associates in a left-handed parallel dimer through extended heptad repeat motif I(702)X(3)M(706)X(2)G(709)X(3)A(713)X(2)I(716)X(3)I(720)X(2)I(723), whereas the juxtamembrane region Gln(686)-Val(695) constitutes the nascent helix, also sensing the dimerization. The dimerization mechanism of APP transmembrane domain has been described at atomic resolution for the first time and is important for understanding molecular events of APP sequential proteolytical cleavage resulting in amyloid-β peptide.
