    Abstract The translocation of orchids (Orchidaceae) cannot be successful if one is unaware of their effective pollinators and plant–pollinator interactions. Cypripedium guttatum is a generalized food-deceptive orchid, which is highly threatened in the Republic of Korea, thus, requiring immediate translocation actions. Although effective pollinators of the orchid are well known in China, little is known about the pollinators in the Republic of Korea and the ecological context in which the orchid can be successfully pollinated. To briefly assess the pollination of C. guttatum prior to translocation, we conducted a one-month survey of general pollination and the community-wide plant–pollinator network properties. Over 21 h of observation, we found that an effective pollinator of the orchid was the sweat bee Lasioglossum virideglaucum. The network was significantly specialized and modular, but not significantly nested. L. virideglaucum (pollinator) and Arabis gemmifera (plant) were determined to be keystone species, based on network metrics. A total of six network modules were identified and the flower colors of the plant species belonging to the C. guttatum module were purple, white, and yellow. After comparing the daily network patterns, we found that pollination of the orchid was accomplished when various flowering plant species bloom, and the nestedness value was high. This study revealed that high plant and pollinator richness could increase the chance that the deceptive orchid would be pollinated. Our study suggests that the network properties of this food-deceptive orchid community could provide useful insight into understanding the ecologically suitable habitat for the translocation of the highly threatened orchid species C. guttatum.

    Abstract Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) family proteins are molecular chaperones that modulate the functions of various substrate proteins (clients) implicated in pro-tumorigenic pathways. In this study, the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mitoquinone (MitoQ) was identified as a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial Hsp90, known as a tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP1). Structural analyses revealed an asymmetric bipartite interaction between MitoQ and the previously unrecognized drug binding sites located in the middle domain of TRAP1, believed to be a client binding region. MitoQ effectively competed with TRAP1 clients, and MitoQ treatment facilitated the identification of 103 TRAP1-interacting mitochondrial proteins in cancer cells. MitoQ and its redox-crippled SB-U014/SB-U015 exhibited more potent anticancer activity

    Abstract Abstract Kohlschutter-Tönz syndrome (KTS) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder of childhood onset characterized by global developmental delay, spasticity, epilepsy, and amelogenesis imperfecta. Rogdi, an essential protein, is highly conserved across metazoans, and mutations in Rogdi are linked to KTS. However, how certain mutations in Rogdi abolish its physiological functions and cause KTS is not known. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of human Rogdi protein at atomic resolution. Rogdi forms a novel elongated curved structure comprising the α domain, a leucine-zipper-like four-helix bundle, and a characteristic β-sheet domain. Within the α domain, the N-terminal H1 helix (residues 19–45) pairs with the C-terminal H6 helix (residues 252–287) in an antiparallel manner, indicating that the integrity of the four-helix bundle requires both N- and C-terminal residues. The crystal structure, in conjunction with biochemical data, indicates that the α domain might undergo a conformational change and provide a structural platform for protein–protein interactions. Disruption of the four-helix bundle by mutation results in significant destabilization of the structure. This study provides structural insights into how certain mutations in Rogdi affect its structure and cause KTS, which has important implications for the development of pharmaceutical agents against this debilitating neurological disease.

MitoQ and its redox-crippled SB-U014/SB-U015 exhibited more potent anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo than previously reported mitochondria-targeted TRAP1 inhibitors. The findings indicate that targeting the client binding site of Hsp90 family proteins offers a novel strategy for the development of potent anticancer drugs.

    Abstract Terminally misfolded or unassembled proteins are selectively recognized and cleared by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Suppressor/enhancer of lin-12-like (SEL1L), a component of the dislocation machinery containing the E3 ubiquitin ligase Hrd1, plays an important role in selecting and transporting ERAD substrates for degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of recombinant mouse SEL1L (residues 348-533) are reported. The crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at pH 8.5 and 277 K using 30% 2-propanol as a precipitant. Optimized crystals diffracted to 3.3 Å resolution at a synchrotron-radiation source. Preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the crystals belonged to space group P21 and contained four molecules per asymmetric unit, with a solvent content of 44%.

    Abstract Abstract Mutations in human PAX6 gene are associated with various congenital eye malformations including aniridia, foveal hypoplasia, and congenital nystagmus. These various phenotypes may depend on the mutation spectrums that can affect DNA-binding affinity, although this hypothesis is debatable. We screened PAX6 mutations in two unrelated patients with congenital nystagmus, and measured DNA-binding affinity through isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). To elucidate phenotypic differences according to DNA-binding affinity, we also compared DNA-binding affinity among the previously reported PAX6 missense mutations within the linker region between two subdomains of the paired domain (PD). We identified two novel mutations of PAX6 gene: c.214 G > T (p.Gly72Cys) and c.249_250delinsCGC (p.Val84Alafs*8). Both were located within the linker region between the two subdomains of the PD. ITC measurement revealed that the mutation p.Val84Alafs*8 had no DNA-binding affinity, while the p.Gly72Cys mutation showed a decreased binding affinity (Kd = 0.58 μM) by approximately 1.4 times compared to the wild type-PAX6 (Kd = 0.41 μM). We also found that there was no close relationship between DNA-binding affinity and phenotypic differences. Our results suggest that the DNA-binding affinity alone might be insufficient to determine PAX6-related phenotypes, and that other modifier genes or environmental factors might affect phenotypes of the PAX6 gene.
