Abstract

Glutamate neurotoxicity in the cultured neurons from rat spinal cord was evaluated on the basis of endogenous ATP content in the cells. A short exposure of the neurons to glutamate induced an immediate and rapid decrease in ATP content. Then, after removal of glutamate, no recovery of ATP content was observed for 24 h, eventually resulting in neuronal death. These findings suggest that the glutamate-induced neuronal death in vitro is apparently similar to but essentially different from so-called 'delayed' neuronal death in vivo after a brief ischemia in hippocampal CA1 neurons in which a transient recovery of ATP level occurs after its dramatic reduction.

The human mitochondrial genome contains a second light strand promoter.

The human mitochondrial genome must be replicated and expressed in a timely manner to maintain energy metabolism and supply cells with adequate levels of adenosine triphosphate. Central to this process is the idea that replication primers and gene products both arise via transcription from a single light strand promoter (LSP) such that primer formation can influence gene expression, with no consensus as to how this is regulated. Here, we report the discovery of a second light strand promoter (LSP2) in humans, with features characteristic of a bona fide mitochondrial promoter. We propose that the position of LSP2 on the mitochondrial genome allows replication and gene expression to be orchestrated from two distinct sites, which expands our long-held understanding of mitochondrial gene expression in humans.

GCN2 kinase activation by ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors.

Small-molecule kinase inhibitors represent a major group of cancer therapeutics, but tumor responses are often incomplete. To identify pathways that modulate kinase inhibitor response, we conducted a genome-wide knockout (KO) screen in glioblastoma cells treated with the pan-ErbB inhibitor neratinib. Loss of general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase rendered cells resistant to neratinib, whereas depletion of the GADD34 phosphatase increased neratinib sensitivity. Loss of GCN2 conferred neratinib resistance by preventing binding and activation of GCN2 by neratinib. Several other Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved inhibitors, such erlotinib and sunitinib, also bound and activated GCN2. Our results highlight the utility of genome-wide functional screens to uncover novel mechanisms of drug action and document the role of the integrated stress response (ISR) in modulating the response to inhibitors of oncogenic kinases.

Expression-independent consumption of substrates in cell-free expression system from Escherichia coli.

In a cell-free expression system derived from Escherichia coli, expression is abruptly ceased after 30 min of incubation while at this time not all the substrates have been utilized in expression. Expression-independent consumption of phosphoenolpyruvate and cysteine was found in this system, which was responsible for the above sudden cessation of expression. The above consumption was at least partially due to the dephosphorylation of nucleoside triphosphates and the conversion of cysteine into gamma-glutamylcysteine, respectively. Based on these, we developed a new system employing new S30 extract of lower phosphatase activity, higher cysteine concentration, and an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis pathway. This system showed 70% enhance in productivity (179-302 microg chloramphenicolacetyltransferase protein per ml reaction mixture per hour) over the model system.
