    Abstract Riboswitches are widely distributed, conserved RNAs which regulate metabolite levels in bacterial cells through direct, noncovalent binding of their cognate metabolite. Various riboswitch families are highly enriched in gut bacteria, suggestive of a symbiotic relationship between the host and bacteria. Previous studies of the distribution of riboswitches have examined bacterial taxa broadly. Thus, the distribution of riboswitches associated with bacteria inhabiting the intestines of healthy individuals is not well understood. To address these questions, we survey the gut microbiome for riboswitches by including an international database of prokaryotic genomes from the gut samples. Using Infernal, a program that uses RNA-specific sequence and structural features, we survey this data set using existing riboswitch models. We identify 22 classes of riboswitches with vitamin cofactors making up the majority of riboswitch-associated pathways. Our finding is reproducible in other representative databases from the oral as well as the marine microbiomes, underscoring the importance of thiamine pyrophosphate, cobalamin, and flavin mononucleotide in gene regulation. Interestingly, riboswitches do not vary significantly across microbiome representatives from around the world despite major taxonomic differences; this suggests an underlying conservation. Further studies elucidating the role of bacterial riboswitches in the host metabolome are needed to illuminate the consequences of our finding.

    Abstract The life and work of crystallography pioneer Isabella L. Karle is recounted (1921-2017), as researched from the literature and personal stories of colleagues and family. Her story includes her family background, education at the University of Michigan, research on the Manhattan Project, and 63 productive years at the Naval Research Laboratory. Her life-long partnership and scientific collaboration with husband Jerome Karle, 1985 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry with Herbert Hauptman, is a big part of her story; however, Isabella has also established herself as a crystallographer

    Abstract The structure and dynamics of the eukaryotic genome are intimately linked to gene regulation and transcriptional activity. Many chromosome conformation capture experiments like Hi-C have been developed to detect genome-wide contact frequencies and quantify loop/compartment structures for different cellular contexts and time-dependent processes. However, a full understanding of these events requires explicit descriptions of representative chromatin and chromosome configurations. With the exponentially growing amount of data from Hi-C experiments, many methods for deriving 3D structures from contact frequency data have been developed. Yet, most reconstruction methods use polymer models with low resolution to predict overall genome structure. Here we present a Brownian Dynamics (BD) approach termed Hi-BDiSCO for producing 3D genome structures from Hi-C and Micro-C data using our mesoscale-resolution chromatin model based on the Discrete Surface Charge Optimization (DiSCO) model. Our approach integrates reconstruction with chromatin simulations at nucleosome resolution with appropriate biophysical parameters. Following a description of our protocol, we present applications to the NXN, HOXC, HOXA and Fbn2 mouse genes ranging in size from 50 to 100 kb. Such nucleosome-resolution genome structures pave the way for pursuing many biomedical applications related to the epigenomic regulation of chromatin and control of human disease.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting element (FSE) has been intensely studied and explored as a therapeutic target for coronavirus diseases including COVID-19. Besides the intriguing virology, this small RNA is known to adopt many length-dependent conformations, as verified by multiple experimental and computational approaches. However, the role these alternative conformations play in the frameshifting mechanism and how to quantify this structural abundance has been an ongoing challenge. Here, we show by DMS and dual-luciferase functional assays that previously predicted FSE mutants (using the RAG graph theory approach) suppress structural transitions and abolish frameshifting. Furthermore, correlated mutation analysis of DMS data by three programs (DREEM, DRACO, and DANCE-MaP) reveals important differences in their estimation of specific RNA conformations, suggesting caution in the interpretation of such complex conformational landscapes. Overall, the abolished frameshifting in three different mutants confirms that all alternative conformations play a role in the pathways of ribosomal transition.
