    Abstract The InterPro family IPR007621 TPM_phosphatase is a widely conserved family of protein domains found in prokaryotes, plants and invertebrates. Despite similar predicted protein folding, members of this family are involved in different cellular processes. In recent years, the structural and biochemical characterization of evolutionarily divergent TPM domains has shown their ability to hydrolyze phosphate groups of different substrates. However, there are still inaccurate functional annotations and uncertain relationships between the structure and function of this domain family. We here report the

    Abstract The MerR family is a group of transcriptional activators with conserved N-terminal helix-turn-helix DNA binding domains and variable C-terminal effector binding regions. In most MerR proteins the effector binding domain (EBD) contains a cysteine center suited for metal binding and mediates the response to environmental stimuli, such as oxidative stress, heavy metals or antibiotics. We here present a novel transcriptional regulator classified in the MerR superfamily that lacks an EBD domain and has neither conserved metal binding sites nor cysteine residues.

    Abstract Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in physiological integrity, which impairs functionality and increases susceptibility to mortality. Dietary restriction, mimicking nutrient scarcity without causing malnutrition, is an intervention known to decelerate the aging process. While various hypotheses have been proposed to elucidate how dietary restriction influences aging, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This project aimed to investigate the role of the primary regulator of the general amino acid control (GAAC) pathway, the transcription factor Gcn4, in the aging process of S. cerevisiae cells. Under conditions of amino acid deprivation, which activate Gcn4, the deletion of GCN4 led to a diverse array of physiological changes in the cells. Notably, the absence of Gcn4 resulted in heightened mitochondrial activity, likely contributing to the observed increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Furthermore, these mutant gcn4Δ cells exhibited reduced ethanol production despite maintaining similar glucose consumption rates, suggesting a pivotal role for Gcn4 in regulating the Crabtree effect. Additionally, there was a marked reduction in trehalose, the storage carbohydrate, within the mutant cells compared to the wild-type strain. The intracellular content of free amino acids also exhibited disparities between the wild-type and GCN4-deficient strains. Taken together, our findings indicate that the absence of GCN4 disrupts cellular homeostasis, triggering significant alterations in interconnected intracellular metabolic pathways. These disruptions have far-reaching metabolic consequences that ultimately culminate in a shortened lifespan.

    Abstract Production of soluble recombinant proteins is crucial to the development of industry and basic research. However, the aggregation due to the incorrect folding of the nascent polypeptides is still a mayor bottleneck. Understanding the factors governing protein solubility is important to grasp the underlying mechanisms and improve the design of recombinant proteins. Here we show a quantitative study of the expression and solubility of a set of proteins from Bizionia argentinensis. Through the analysis of different features known to modulate protein production, we defined two parameters based on the %MinMax algorithm to compare codon usage clusters between the host and the target genes. We demonstrate that the absolute difference between all %MinMax frequencies of the host and the target gene is significantly negatively correlated with protein expression levels. But most importantly, a strong positive correlation between solubility and the degree of conservation of codons usage clusters is observed for two independent datasets. Moreover, we evince that this correlation is higher in codon usage clusters involved in less compact protein secondary structure regions. Our results provide important tools for protein design and support the notion that codon usage may dictate translation rate and modulate co-translational folding.

    Abstract Frataxin is a kinetic activator of the mitochondrial supercomplex for iron-sulfur cluster assembly. Low frataxin expression or a decrease in its functionality results in Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA). With the aim of creating new molecular tools to study this metabolic pathway, and ultimately, to explore new therapeutic strategies, we have investigated the possibility of obtaining small proteins exhibiting a high affinity for frataxin. In this study, we applied the ribosome display approach, using human frataxin as the target. We focused on Affi_224, one of the proteins that we were able to select after five rounds of selection. We have studied the interaction between both proteins and discussed some applications of this specific molecular tutor, concerning the modulation of the supercomplex activity. Affi_224 and frataxin showed a K

    Abstract Viral factories of liquid-like nature serve as sites for transcription and replication in most viruses. The respiratory syncytial virus factories include replication proteins, brought together by the phosphoprotein (P) RNA polymerase cofactor, present across non-segmented negative stranded RNA viruses. Homotypic liquid–liquid phase separation of RSV-P is governed by an α-helical molten globule domain, and strongly self-downmodulated by adjacent sequences. Condensation of P with the nucleoprotein N is stoichiometrically tuned, defining aggregate-droplet and droplet-dissolution boundaries. Time course analysis show small N-P nuclei gradually coalescing into large granules in transfected cells. This behavior is recapitulated in infection, with small puncta evolving to large viral factories, strongly suggesting that P-N nucleation-condensation sequentially drives viral factories. Thus, the tendency of P to undergo phase separation is moderate and latent in the full-length protein but unleashed in the presence of N or when neighboring disordered sequences are deleted. This, together with its capacity to rescue nucleoprotein-RNA aggregates suggests a role as a “solvent-protein”.
