Abstract
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is an important precursor phase for the formation of aragonite crystals in the shells of Pinctada fucata. To identify the ACC-binding protein in the inner aragonite layer of the shell, extracts from the shell were used in the ACC-binding experiments. Semiquantitative analyses using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that paramyosin was strongly associated with ACC in the shell. We discovered that paramyosin, a major component of the adductor muscle, was included in the myostracum, which is the microstructure of the shell attached to the adductor muscle. Purified paramyosin accumulates calcium carbonate and induces the prism structure of aragonite crystals, which is related to the morphology of prism aragonite crystals in the myostracum. Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements revealed that the Glu-rich region was bound to ACC. Activity of the Glu-rich region was stronger than that of the Asp-rich region. These results suggest that paramyosin in the adductor muscle is involved in the formation of aragonite prisms in the myostracum.

Abstract
The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway plays a crucial role in silencing transposons in the germline. piRNA-guided target cleavage by PIWI proteins triggers the biogenesis of new piRNAs from the cleaved RNA fragments. This process, known as the ping-pong cycle, is mediated by the two PIWI proteins, Siwi and BmAgo3, in silkworms. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of the ping-pong cycle remains largely unclear. Here, we show that Spindle-E (Spn-E), a putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase, is essential for BmAgo3-dependent production of Siwi-bound piRNAs in the ping-pong cycle and that this function of Spn-E requires its ATPase activity. Moreover, Spn-E acts to suppress homotypic Siwi-Siwi ping-pong, but this function of Spn-E is independent of its ATPase activity. These results highlight the dual role of Spn-E in facilitating proper heterotypic ping-pong in silkworms.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate is present in many biominerals, including in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and shells of mollusks. High Mg-containing calcium carbonate was synthesized by high temperatures, high pressures or high molecular organic matter. For example, biogenic high Mg-containing calcite is synthesized under strictly controlled Mg concentration at ambient temperature and pressure. The spines of sea urchins consist of calcite, which contain a high percentage of magnesium. In this study, we investigated the factors that increase the magnesium content in calcite from the spines of the sea urchin, Heliocidaris crassispina. X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses showed that sea urchin spines contain about 4.8% Mg. The organic matrix extracted from the H. crassispina spines induced the crystallization of amorphous phase and synthesis of magnesium-containing calcite, while amorphous was synthesized without SUE (sea urchin extract). In addition, aragonite was synthesized by SUE treated with protease-K. HC tropomyosin was specifically incorporated into Mg precipitates. Recombinant HC-tropomyosin induced calcite contained 0.1-2.5% Mg synthesis. Western blotting of sea urchin spine extracts confirmed that HC tropomyosin was present in the purple sea urchin spines at a protein weight ratio of 1.5%. These results show that HC tropomyosin is one factor that increases the magnesium concentration in the calcite of H. crassispina spines.

Abstract
Mammalian genomes encode large number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that play key roles in various biological processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and stem cell pluripotency. Recent studies have addressed that some lncRNAs are dysregulated in human cancers and may play crucial roles in tumor development and progression. Here, we show that the lncRNA ZNNT1 is required for the proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells with wild-type p53. ZNNT1 knockdown leads to decreased ubiquitination and stabilization of p53 protein. Moreover, we demonstrate that ZNNT1 needs to interact with SART3 to destabilize p53 and to promote the proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells. We further show that SART3 is associated with the ubiquitin-specific peptidase USP15 and that ZNNT1 may induce p53 destabilization by inhibiting this interaction. These results suggest that ZNNT1 interferes with the SART3-USP15 complex-mediated stabilization of p53 protein and thereby plays important roles in the proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells. Our findings suggest that ZNNT1 may be a promising molecular target for the therapy of colon cancer.

Abstract
Collimonas sp. (D-25), found in the soil of Akita Prefecture, is a gram-negative bacterium with the ability to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). During the synthesis of AuNPs, one specific protein (DP-1) was found to have disappeared in the sonicated solution of the bacterium. Recombinant DP-1 (rDP-1) from Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was used to study the effect of DP-1 on the synthesis of AuNPs. AuNPs synthesized with rDP-1 result in small, stabilized nanoparticles. AuNPs synthesized by DP-1 retained the stability of both the dispersion and nano-size particles under high salt concentrations. Isothermal titration calorimetry was employed to investigate the bonding ratio of rDP-1 to AuNPs. Several thousand rDP-1 proteins are attached to the surface of an AuNP to form a protein corona containing multiple layers. These results suggest that DP-1 obtained from D-25 has a size and stability control function during AuNP synthesis.

Abstract
The molluscan shell is a good model for understanding the mechanisms underlying biomineralization. It is composed of calcium carbonate crystals and many types of organic molecules, such as the matrix proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids. The pen shell Atrina pectinata (Pterioida, Pinnidae) has two shell microstructures: an outer prismatic layer and an inner nacreous layer. Similar microstructures are well known in pearl oysters (Pteriidae), such as Pinctada fucata, and many kinds of shell matrix proteins (SMPs) have been identified from their shells. However, the members of SMPs that consist of the nacreous and prismatic layers of Pinnidae bivalves remain unclear. In this study, we identified 114 SMPs in the nacreous and prismatic layers of A. pectinata, of which only seven were found in both microstructures. 54 of them were found to bind calcium carbonate. Comparative analysis of nine molluscan shell proteomes showed that 69 of 114 SMPs of A. pectinata were found to have sequential similarity with at least one or more SMPs of other molluscan species. For instance, nacrein, tyrosinase, Pif/BMSP-like, chitinase (CN), chitin-binding proteins, CD109, and Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitors are widely shared among bivalves and gastropods. Our results provide new insights for understanding the complex evolution of SMPs related to nacreous and prismatic layer formation in the pteriomorph bivalves.

Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites that propagate within the host genome and introduce mutations. Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the major TE class, which occupies nearly 20% of the mouse genome. L1 is highly active in mammalian preimplantation embryos, posing a major threat to genome integrity, but the mechanism of stage-specific protection against L1 retrotransposition is unknown. Here, we show that TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), mutations in which constitute a major risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, inhibits L1 retrotransposition in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and preimplantation embryos. Knockdown of TDP-43 resulted in massive genomic L1 expansion and impaired cell growth in preimplantation embryos and ESCs. Functional analysis demonstrated that TDP-43 interacts with L1 open reading frame 1 protein (L1 ORF1p) to mediate genomic protection, and loss of this interaction led to derepression of L1 retrotransposition. Our results identify TDP-43 as a guardian of the embryonic genome.

Abstract
p300 is a human acetyltransferase that associates with chromatin and mediates vital cellular processes. We now report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of the p300 catalytic core in complex with the nucleosome core particle (NCP). In the most resolved structure, the HAT domain and bromodomain of p300 contact nucleosomal DNA at superhelical locations 2 and 3, and the catalytic site of the HAT domain are positioned near the N-terminal tail of histone H4. Mutations of the p300-DNA interfacial residues of p300 substantially decrease binding to NCP. Three additional classes of p300-NCP complexes show different modes of the p300-NCP complex formation. Our data provide structural details critical to our understanding of the mechanism by which p300 acetylates multiple sites on the nucleosome.

Abstract
Several types of shell matrix proteins (SMPs) have been identified in molluskan shells. Their diversity is the consequence of various molecular processes, including domain shuffling and gene duplication. However, the evolutionary origin of most SMPs remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary process EGF-like and zona pellucida (ZP) domains containing SMPs. Two types of the proteins (EGF-like protein (EGFL) and EGF-like and ZP domains containing protein (EGFZP)) were found in the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata. In contrast, only EGFZP was identified in the gastropods. Phylogenetic analysis and genomic arrangement studies showed that EGFL and EGFZP formed a clade in bivalves, and their encoding genes were localized in tandem repeats on the same scaffold. In P. fucata, EGFL genes were expressed in the outer part of mantle epithelial cells are related to the calcitic shell formation. However, in both P. fucata and the limpet Nipponacmea fuscoviridis, EGFZP genes were expressed in the inner part of the mantle epithelial cells are related to aragonitic shell formation. Furthermore, our analysis showed that in P. fucata, the ZP domain interacts with eight SMPs that have various functions in the nacreous shell mineralization. The data suggest that the ZP domain can interact with other SMPs, and EGFL evolution in pterimorph bivalves represents an example of neo-functionalization that involves the acquisition of a novel protein through gene duplication.

Abstract
Bombyx Papi acts as a scaffold for Siwi-piRISC biogenesis on the mitochondrial surface. Papi binds first to Siwi via the Tudor domain and subsequently to piRNA precursors loaded onto Siwi via the K-homology (KH) domains. This second action depends on phosphorylation of Papi. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we show that Siwi targets Par-1 kinase to Papi to phosphorylate Ser547 in the auxiliary domain. This modification enhances the ability of Papi to bind Siwi-bound piRNA precursors via the KH domains. The Papi S547A mutant bound to Siwi, but evaded phosphorylation by Par-1, abrogating Siwi-piRISC biogenesis. A Papi mutant that lacked the Tudor and auxiliary domains escaped coordinated regulation by Siwi and Par-1 and bound RNAs autonomously. Another Papi mutant that lacked the auxiliary domain bound Siwi but did not bind piRNA precursors. A sophisticated mechanism by which Siwi cooperates with Par-1 kinase to promote Siwi-piRISC biogenesis was uncovered. Siwi-piRISC protects the germline genome from DNA damage caused by selfish movement of transposons by suppressing their expression. Here, the authors show how molecularly Papi, which plays an important role in the production of Siwi-piRISC, cooperates with Par-1 kinase to ensure the accumulation of Siwi-piRISC in germ cells.

Abstract
Histone H3mm18 is a non-allelic H3 variant expressed in skeletal muscle and brain
in mice. However, its function has remained enigmatic. We found that H3mm18 is
incorporated into chromatin in cells with low efficiency, as compared to H3.3.
We determined the structures of the nucleosome core particle (NCP) containing
H3mm18 by cryo-electron microscopy, which revealed that the entry/exit DNA
regions are drastically disordered in the H3mm18 NCP. Consistently, the H3mm18
NCP is substantially unstable in vitro. The forced expression
of H3mm18 in mouse myoblast C2C12 cells markedly suppressed muscle
differentiation. A transcriptome analysis revealed that the forced expression of
H3mm18 affected the expression of multiple genes, and suppressed a group of
genes involved in muscle development. These results suggest a novel gene
expression regulation system in which the chromatin landscape is altered by the
formation of unusual nucleosomes with a histone variant, H3mm18, and provide
important insight into understanding transcription regulation by chromatin.

Abstract
The piRNA amplification pathway in Bombyx is operated by Ago3 and Siwi in their piRISC form. The DEAD‐box protein, Vasa, facilitates Ago3‐piRISC production by liberating cleaved RNAs from Siwi‐piRISC in an ATP hydrolysis‐dependent manner. However, the Vasa‐like factor facilitating Siwi‐piRISC production along this pathway remains unknown. Here, we identify DEAD‐box polypeptide 43 (DDX43) as the Vasa‐like protein functioning in Siwi‐piRISC production. DDX43 belongs to the helicase superfamily II along with Vasa, and it contains a similar helicase core. DDX43 also contains a K‐homology (KH) domain, a prevalent RNA‐binding domain, within its N‐terminal region. Biochemical analyses show that the helicase core is responsible for Ago3‐piRISC interaction and ATP hydrolysis, while the KH domain enhances the ATPase activity of the helicase core. This enhancement is independent of the RNA‐binding activity of the KH domain. For maximal DDX43 RNA‐binding activity, both the KH domain and helicase core are required. This study not only provides new insight into the piRNA amplification mechanism but also reveals unique collaborations between the two domains supporting DDX43 function within the pathway.

Abstract
Drosophila Piwi associates with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and represses transposons transcriptionally through heterochromatinization; however, this process is poorly understood. Here, we identify Brahma (Brm), the core adenosine triphosphatase of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, as a new Piwi interactor, and show Brm involvement in activating transcription of Piwi-targeted transposons before silencing. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that Piwi, once bound to target RNAs, reduced the occupancies of SWI/SNF and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on target loci, abrogating transcription. Artificial piRNA-driven targeting of Piwi to RNA transcripts enhanced repression of Brm-dependent reporters compared with Brm-independent reporters. This was dependent on Piwi cofactors, Gtsf1/Asterix (Gtsf1), Panoramix/Silencio (Panx), and Maelstrom (Mael), but not Eggless/dSetdb (Egg)-mediated H3K9me3 deposition. The λN-box B-mediated tethering of Mael to reporters repressed Brm-dependent genes in the absence of Piwi, Panx, and Gtsf1. We propose that Piwi, via Mael, can rapidly suppress transcription of Brm-dependent genes to facilitate heterochromatin formation.

Abstract
The molluscan shell is a biomineral that comprises calcium carbonate and organic matrices controlling the crystal growth of calcium carbonate. The main components of organic matrices are insoluble chitin and proteins. Various kinds of proteins have been identified by solubilizing them with reagents, such as acid or detergent. However, insoluble proteins remained due to the formation of a solid complex with chitin. Herein, we identified these proteins from the nacreous layer, prismatic layer, and hinge ligament of Pinctada fucata using mercaptoethanol and trypsin. Most identified proteins contained a methionine-rich region in common. We focused on one of these proteins, NU-5, to examine the function in shell formation. Gene expression analysis of NU-5 showed that NU-5 was highly expressed in the mantle, and a knockdown of NU-5 prevented the formation of aragonite tablets in the nacre, which suggested that NU-5 was required for nacre formation. Dynamic light scattering and circular dichroism revealed that recombinant NU-5 had aggregation activity and changed its secondary structure in the presence of calcium ions. These findings suggest that insoluble proteins containing methionine-rich regions may be important for scaffold formation, which is an initial stage of biomineral formation.

Abstract
The shells of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas contain calcite crystals with three types of microstructures: prismatic, chalky, and foliated layers. Many shell matrix proteins were annotated from the shells of C. gigas; however, it is unclear which SMPs play important roles in their shell mineralization. The matrix proteins have never been reported from the chalky layer. In this study, we identified a chalky layer-derived EGF-like domain-containing protein (CgELC) from the chalky layer of C. gigas shells. The gene sequence of the CgELC was encoded under CGI_ 10,017,544 of the C. gigas genome database. Only peptide fragments in the N-terminal region of CGI_ 10,017,544 were detected by LC-MS/MS analyses, suggesting that CGI_ 10,017,544 was digested at the predicted protease digestion dibasic site by post-translational modification to become a mature CgELC protein. We produced three types of CgELC recombinant proteins, namely, the full length CgELC, as well as the N-terminal and C-terminal parts of CgELC (CgELC-N or -C, respectively), for in vitro crystallization experiments. In the presence of these recombinant proteins, the aggregation of polycrystalline calcite was observed. Some fibrous organic components seemed to be incorporated into the calcite crystals in the presence of the r-CgELC protein. We also noted different features in the crystallization between CgELC-N and CgELC-C; some crystals were inhibited crystal plane formation and contained many columnar prisms inside the crystals (CgELC-N) and formed numerous holes on their surfaces (CgELC-C). These results suggest that CgELC is involved in crystal aggregation and incorporated into calcite crystals.

Abstract
The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) senses invasion of pathogenic DNA and stimulates inflammatory signaling, autophagy, and apoptosis. Organization of host DNA into nucleosomes was proposed to limit cGAS autoinduction, but the underlying mechanism was unknown. Here, we report the structural basis for this inhibition. In the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the human cGAS-nucleosome core particle (NCP) complex, two cGAS monomers bridge two NCPs by binding the acidic patch of the histone H2A-H2B dimer and nucleosomal DNA. In this configuration, all three known cGAS DNA binding sites, required for cGAS activation, are repurposed or become inaccessible, and cGAS dimerization, another prerequisite for activation, is inhibited. Mutating key residues linking cGAS and the acidic patch alleviates nucleosomal inhibition. This study establishes a structural framework for why cGAS is silenced on chromatinized self-DNA.

Abstract
Aflatoxin contamination of crops is a serious problem worldwide. Utilization of aflatoxin production inhibitors is attractive, as the elucidation of their modes of action contributes to clarifying the mechanism of aflatoxin production. Here, we identified mitochondrial protease ClpP as the target of dioctatin, an inhibitor of aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus. Dioctatin conferred uncontrolled caseinolytic capacity on ClpP of A. flavus and Escherichia coli. Dioctatin-bound ClpP selectively degraded mitochondrial energy-related proteins in vitro, including a subunit of respiratory chain complex V, which was also reduced by dioctatin in a ClpP-dependent manner in vivo. Dioctatin enhanced glycolysis and alcohol fermentation while reducing tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites. These disturbances were accompanied by reduced histone acetylation and reduced expression of aflatoxin biosynthetic genes. Our results suggest that dioctatin inhibits aflatoxin production by inducing ClpP-mediated degradation of mitochondrial energy-related components, and that mitochondrial energy metabolism functions as a key determinant of aflatoxin production.

Abstract
Lysine N-pyrrolation converts lysine residues to N ϵ-pyrrole-l-lysine (pyrK) in a covalent modification reaction that significantly affects the chemical properties of proteins, causing them to mimic DNA. pyrK in proteins has been detected in vivo, indicating that pyrrolation occurs as an endogenous reaction. However, the source of pyrK remains unknown. In this study, on the basis of our observation in vitro that pyrK is present in oxidized low-density lipoprotein and in modified proteins with oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids, we used LC-electrospray ionization-MS/MS coupled with a stable isotope dilution method to perform activity-guided separation of active molecules in oxidized lipids and identified glycolaldehyde (GA) as a pyrK source. The results from mechanistic experiments to study GA-mediated lysine N-pyrrolation suggested that the reactions might include GA oxidation, generating the dialdehyde glyoxal, followed by condensation reactions of lysine amino groups with GA and glyoxal. We also studied the functional significance of GA-mediated lysine N-pyrrolation in proteins and found that GA-modified proteins are recognized by apolipoprotein E, a binding target of pyrrolated proteins. Moreover, GA-modified proteins triggered an immune response to pyrrolated proteins, and monoclonal antibodies generated from mice immunized with GA-modified proteins specifically recognized pyrrolated proteins. These findings reveal that GA is an endogenous source of DNA-mimicking pyrrolated proteins and may provide mechanistic insights relevant for innate and autoimmune responses associated with glucose metabolism and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The bivalve hinge ligament holds the two shells together. The ligament functions as a spring to open the shells after they were closed by the adductor muscle. The ligament is a mineralized tissue that bears no resemblance to any other known tissue. About half the ligament is composed of a protein-rich matrix, and half of long and extremely thin segmented aragonite crystals. Here we study the hinge ligament of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. FIB SEM shows that the 3D organization is remarkably ordered. The full sequence of the major protein component contains a continuous segment of 30 repeats of MMMLPD. There is no known homologous protein. Knockdown of this protein prevents crystal formation, demonstrating that the integrity of the matrix is necessary for crystals to form. X-ray diffraction shows that the aragonite crystals are more aligned in the compressed ligament, indicating that the crystals may be actively contributing to the elastic properties. The fusion interphase that joins the ligament to the shell nacre is composed of a prismatic mineralized tissue with a thin organic-rich layer at its center. Nanoindentation of the dry interphase shows that the elastic modulus of the nacre adjacent to the interphase gradually decreases until it approximates that of the interphase. The interphase modulus slightly increases until it matches the ligament. All these observations demonstrate that the ligament shell complex is a remarkable biological tissue that has evolved unique properties that enable bivalves to open their shell effectively innumerable times during the lifetime of the animal. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The hinge ligament shell complex is a unique functioning structural tissue whose elastic properties enable the shell to open without expending energy. Methionine-rich proteins are not known elsewhere raising fundamental questions about secondary and tertiary structures contributing to its elastic properties. The segmented and extremely thin aragonite crystals embedded in this matrix may also have unexpected elastic materials properties as they flex during compression. The structure of the interphase comprises a fascinating biological joint that connects two very different materials. The interphase materials, including the nacre, are graded with respect to elastic modulus so as to approximately match the connecting components. The interphase incorporates a thin organic rich layer that presumably functions as a gasket. This study raises many fundamental questions relevant to the diverse fields of protein chemistry, biomineralization and biological materials.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in many disease conditions, including cancer. Accumulating evidence indicates that some lncRNAs may play critical roles in cancer progression and metastasis. Here, we identify a set of lncRNAs that are upregulated in metastatic subpopulations isolated from colon cancer HCT116 cells in vivo and show that one of these lncRNAs, which we name CALIC, is required for the metastatic activity of colon cancer cells. We show that CALIC associates with the RNA-binding protein hnRNP-L and imparts specificity to hnRNP-L-mediated gene expression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the CALIC/hnRNP-L complex upregulates the tyrosine kinase receptor AXL and that knockdown of CALIC or AXL using shRNA in colon cancer cells attenuates their ability to form metastases in mice. These results suggest that the CALIC/hnRNP-L complex enhances the metastatic potential of colon cancer cells.

Abstract
The nuclear pore complex embedded within the nuclear envelope is the essential architecture for trafficking macromolecules, such as proteins and RNAs, between the cytoplasm and nucleus. The nuclear pore complex assembly occurs on chromatin in the post-mitotic phase of the cell cycle. ELYS (MEL-28/AHCTF1) binds to the nucleosome, which is the basic chromatin unit, and promotes assembly of the complex around the chromosomes in cells. Here we show that the Arg-Arg-Lys (RRK) stretch of the C-terminal ELYS region plays an essential role in the nucleosome binding. The cryo-EM structure and the crosslinking mass spectrometry reveal that the ELYS C-terminal region directly binds to the acidic patch of the nucleosome. These results provide mechanistic insight into the ELYS-nucleosome interaction, which promotes the post-mitotic nuclear pore complex formation around chromosomes in cells.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancers and has a poor prognosis. Genomewide analyses have revealed that a set of core signaling pathways, the p53, RB, and RTK pathways, are commonly deregulated in glioblastomas. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumorigenicity of glioblastoma are not fully understood. Here, we show that the lysine deacetylase SIRT2 is required for the proliferation and tumorigenicity of glioblastoma cells, including glioblastoma stem cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SIRT2 regulates p73 transcriptional activity by deacetylation of its C-terminal lysine residues. Our results suggest that SIRT2-mediated inactivation of p73 is critical for the proliferation and tumorigenicity of glioblastoma cells and that SIRT2 may be a promising molecular target for the therapy of glioblastoma.

Abstract
Mutations of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and the E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase parkin can cause familial parkinsonism. These two proteins are essential for ubiquitylation of damaged mitochondria and subsequent degradation. PINK1 phosphorylates Ser65 of Ub and the Ub-like (UBL) domain of parkin to allosterically relieve the autoinhibition of parkin. To understand the structural mechanism of the Ub/UBL-specific phosphorylation by PINK1, we determined the crystal structure of Tribolium castaneum PINK1 kinase domain (TcPINK1) in complex with a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue at 2.5 Å resolution. TcPINK1 consists of the N- and C-terminal lobes with the PINK1-specific extension. The ATP analogue is bound in the cleft between the N- and C-terminal lobes. The adenine ring of the ATP analogue is bound to a hydrophobic pocket, whereas the triphosphate group of the ATP analogue and two coordinated Mg ions interact with the catalytic hydrophilic residues. Comparison with protein kinases A and C (PKA and PKC, respectively) unveils a putative Ub/UBL-binding groove, which is wider than the peptide-binding groove of PKA or PKC to accommodate the globular head of Ub or UBL. Further crosslinking analyses suggested a PINK1-interacting surface of Ub. Structure-guided mutational analyses support the findings from the present structural analysis of PINK1.

Abstract
Cep169 is a microtubule plus-end tracking and centrosomal protein that interacts with CDK5RAP2. Cep169 is known to regulate microtubule dynamics and stability; however, its other cellular functions remain largely elusive. In this study, we identified novel Cep169-interacting proteins from HeLa cell extracts. Proteomic analysis via LC-MS/MS helped to identify approximately 400 novel Cep169-interacting proteins, including centrosomal proteins, cilium proteins, microtubule-associating proteins, and several E3 ubiquitin ligases. In addition, we identified in vivo posttranslational modification sites of Cep169, namely, 27 phosphorylation sites, five methylation sites, and four ubiquitination sites. Of these, 14 phosphorylated residues corresponding to the consensus Cdk phosphorylation sites may be required for Cdk1-mediated dissociation of Cep169 from the centrosome during mitosis and Cdk regulation during the G1/S phase. Furthermore, siRNA-induced Cep169 depletion was found to inhibit the growth of RPE1 cells. Our findings suggest that Cep169 regulates cell growth by interacting with multiple proteins.

Abstract
Cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro) inhibits aflatoxin production in aflatoxigenic fungi without affecting fungal growth. The mode of action of cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro) in inhibiting aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus was investigated. A glutathione S-transferase (GST) of the fungus, designated AfGST, was identified as a binding protein of cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro) in an experiment performed using cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro)-immobilized Sepharose beads. Cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro) specifically bound to recombinant AfGST and inhibited its GST activity. Ethacrynic acid, a known GST inhibitor, inhibited the GST activity of recombinant AfGST and aflatoxin production of the fungus. Ethacrynic acid reduced the expression level of AflR, a key regulatory protein for aflatoxin production, similar to cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro). These results suggest that cyclo(l-Ala-l-Pro) inhibits aflatoxin production by affecting GST function in A. flavus, and that AfGST inhibitors are possible candidates as selective aflatoxin production inhibitors.

Abstract
Biomineralization, in which organisms create biogenic hard tissues, with hardness or flexibility enhanced by organic-inorganic interaction is an interesting and attractive focus for application of biomimetic functional materials. Calcites in the prismatic layer of Pinctada fucata are tougher than abiotic calcites due to small crystal defects. However, the molecular mechanism of the defect formation remains unclear. Here, chitin and two chitinolytic enzymes, chitinase and chitobiase, were identified as organic matrices related to for the formation of small crystal defects in the prismatic layer. Experiments with a chitinase inhibitor in vivo showed chitinase is necessary to form the prismatic layer. Analysis of calcite crystals, which were synthesized in a chitin hydrogel treated with chitinolytic enzymes, by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that crystal defects became larger as chitin was more degraded. These results suggest that interactions between chitin and calcium carbonate increase as chitin is thinner.

Abstract
CdSe quantum dots are often used in industry as fluorescent materials. In this study, CdSe quantum dots were synthesized using Fusarium oxysporum. The cadmium and selenium concentration, pH, and temperature for the culture of F. oxysporum (Fusarium oxysporum) were optimized for the synthesis, and the CdSe quantum dots obtained from the mycelial cells of F. oxysporum were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Ultra-thin sections of F. oxysporum showed that the CdSe quantum dots were precipitated in the intracellular space, indicating that cadmium and selenium ions were incorporated into the cell and that the quantum dots were synthesized with intracellular metabolites. To reveal differences in F. oxysporum metabolism, cell extracts of F. oxysporum, before and after CdSe synthesis, were compared using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results suggested that the amount of superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased after CdSe synthesis. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that cytoplasmic superoxide increased significantly after CdSe synthesis. The accumulation of superoxide may increase the expression of various metabolites that play a role in reducing Se4+ to Se2− and inhibit the aggregation of CdSe to make nanoparticles.

Abstract
Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a major driving force in colon cancer. Wnt/β-catenin signaling induces the expression of the transcription factor c-Myc, leading to cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. c-Myc regulates multiple biological processes through its ability to directly modulate gene expression. Here, we identify a direct target of c-Myc, termed MYU, and show that MYU is upregulated in most colon cancers and required for the tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MYU associates with the RNA binding protein hnRNP-K to stabilize CDK6 expression and thereby promotes the G1-S transition of the cell cycle. These results suggest that the MYU/hnRNP-K/CDK6 pathway functions downstream of Wnt/c-Myc signaling and plays a critical role in the proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells.

Abstract
In meiosis, telomeres attach to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and drive the chromosome movement required for homolog pairing and recombination. Here, we address the question of how telomeres are structurally adapted for the meiotic task. We identify a multi-subunit meiotic telomere-complex, TERB1/2-MAJIN, which takes over telomeric DNA from the shelterin complex in mouse germ cells. TERB1/2-MAJIN initially assembles on the INM sequestered by its putative transmembrane subunit MAJIN. In early meiosis, telomere attachment is achieved by the formation of a chimeric complex of TERB1/2-MAJIN and shelterin. The chimeric complex matures during prophase into DNA-bound TERB1/2-MAJIN by releasing shelterin, forming a direct link between telomeric DNA and the INM. These hierarchical processes, termed "telomere cap exchange," are regulated by CDK-dependent phosphorylation and the DNA-binding activity of MAJIN. Further, we uncover a positive feedback between telomere attachment and chromosome movement, revealing a comprehensive regulatory network underlying meiosis-specific telomere function in mammals.

Abstract
Sister chromatid cohesion is mediated by cohesin and is essential for accurate chromosome segregation. The cohesin subunits SMC1, SMC3, and Rad21 form a tripartite ring within which sister chromatids are thought to be entrapped. This event requires the acetylation of SMC3 and the association of sororin with cohesin by the acetyltransferases Esco1 and Esco2 in humans, but the functional mechanisms of these acetyltransferases remain elusive. Here, we showed that Esco1 requires Pds5, a cohesin regulatory subunit bound to Rad21, to form cohesion via SMC3 acetylation and the stabilization of the chromatin association of sororin, whereas Esco2 function was not affected by Pds5 depletion. Consistent with the functional link between Esco1 and Pds5, Pds5 interacted exclusively with Esco1, and this interaction was dependent on a unique and conserved Esco1 domain. Crucially, this interaction was essential for SMC3 acetylation and sister chromatid cohesion. Esco1 localized to cohesin localization sites on chromosomes throughout interphase in a manner that required the Esco1-Pds5 interaction, and it could acetylate SMC3 before and after DNA replication. These results indicate that Esco1 acetylates SMC3 via a mechanism different from that of Esco2. We propose that, by interacting with a unique domain of Esco1, Pds5 recruits Esco1 to chromatin-bound cohesin complexes to form cohesion. Furthermore, Esco1 acetylates SMC3 independently of DNA replication.

Abstract
Atg9 is a transmembrane protein that is essential for autophagy. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has recently been revealed that Atg9 exists on cytoplasmic small vesicles termed Atg9 vesicles. To identify the components of Atg9 vesicles, we purified the Atg9 vesicles and subjected them to mass spectrometry. We found that their protein composition was distinct from other organellar membranes and that Atg9 and Atg27 in particular are major components of Atg9 vesicles. In addition to these two components, Trs85, a specific subunit of the transport protein particle III (TRAPPIII) complex, and the Rab GTPase Ypt1 were also identified. Trs85 directly interacts with Atg9, and the Trs85-containing TRAPPIII complex facilitates the association of Ypt1 onto Atg9 vesicles. We also showed that Trs85 and Ypt1 are localized to the preautophagosomal structure in an Atg9-dependent manner. Our data suggest that Atg9 vesicles recruit the TRAPPIII complex and Ypt1 to the preautophagosomal structure. The vesicle-tethering machinery consequently acts in the process of autophagosome formation.
