Vacuole Acidification Is Required For Trans-Snare Pairing, Lma1 Release, And Homotypic Fusion, Christian Ungermann, William Wickner, Zuoyu Xu
Vacuole Acidification Is Required For Trans-Snare Pairing, Lma1 Release, And Homotypic Fusion, Christian Ungermann, William Wickner, Zuoyu Xu
Dartmouth Scholarship
Vacuole fusion occurs in three stages: priming, in which Sec18p mediates Sec17p release, LMA1 (low Mr activity 1) relocation, and cis-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex disassembly; docking, mediated by Ypt7p and trans-SNARE association; and fusion of docked vacuoles. Ca2+ and calmodulin regulate late stages of the reaction. We now show that the vacuole proton gradient, generated by the vacuolar proton ATPase, is needed for trans-SNARE complex formation during docking and hence for the subsequent LMA1 release. Though neither the vacuolar Pmc1p Ca2+-ATPase nor the Vcx1p Ca2+/H+ exchanger …

Levuglandin (LG) E2, a cytotoxic seco prostanoic acid co-generated with prostaglandins by nonenzymatic rearrangements of the cyclooxygenase-derived endoperoxide, prostaglandin H2, avidly binds to proteins. That LGE2-protein adducts can also be generated nonenzymatically is demonstrated by their production during free radical-induced oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Like oxidized LDL, LGE2-LDL, but not native LDL, undergoes receptor-mediated uptake and impaired processing by macrophage cells. Since radical-induced lipid oxidation produces isomers of prostaglandins, isoprostanes (isoPs), via endoperoxide intermediates, we postulated previously that a similar family of LG isomers, isoLGs, is cogenerated with isoPs. Now …
Core-Binding Factor Influences The Disease Specificity Of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus, Amy F. Lewis, Terryl Stacy, William R. Green, Lekidelu Taddesse-Heath, Janet W. Hartley, Nancy A. Speck
Core-Binding Factor Influences The Disease Specificity Of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus, Amy F. Lewis, Terryl Stacy, William R. Green, Lekidelu Taddesse-Heath, Janet W. Hartley, Nancy A. Speck
Dartmouth Scholarship
The core site in the Moloney murine leukemia virus (Moloney MLV) enhancer was previously shown to be an important determinant of the T-cell disease specificity of the virus. Mutation of the core site resulted in a significant shift in disease specificity of the Moloney virus from T-cell leukemia to erythroleukemia. We and others have since determined that a protein that binds the core site, one of the core-binding factors (CBF) is highly expressed in thymus and is essential for hematopoiesis. Here we test the hypothesis that CBF plays a critical role in mediating pathogenesis of Moloney MLV in vivo. We …
Three V-Snares And Two T-Snares, Present In A Pentameric Cis-Snare Complex On Isolated Vacuoles, Are Essential For Homotypic Fusion, Christian Ungermann, Gabriele F. Von Mollard, Ole N. Jensen, Nathan Margolis, Tom H. Stevens, William Wickner
Three V-Snares And Two T-Snares, Present In A Pentameric Cis-Snare Complex On Isolated Vacuoles, Are Essential For Homotypic Fusion, Christian Ungermann, Gabriele F. Von Mollard, Ole N. Jensen, Nathan Margolis, Tom H. Stevens, William Wickner
Dartmouth Scholarship
Vacuole SNAREs, including the t-SNAREs Vam3p and Vam7p and the v-SNARE Nyv1p, are found in a multisubunit "cis" complex on isolated organelles. We now identify the v-SNAREs Vti1p and Ykt6p by mass spectrometry as additional components of the immunoisolated vacuolar SNARE complex. Immunodepletion of detergent extracts with anti-Vti1p removes all the Ykt6p that is in a complex with Vam3p, immunodepletion with anti-Ykt6p removes all the Vti1p that is complexed with Vam3p, and immunodepletion with anti-Nyv1p removes all the Ykt6p in complex with other SNAREs, demonstrating that they are all together in the same cis multi-SNARE complex. After priming, which disassembles …

Technique For Specifying The Fatty Acid At The Sn2 Position Of Acylglycerol Lipids, Robert C. Dickson, Robert L. Lester, M. Marek Nagiec
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Patents
A method for specifying a fatty acid at the sn2 position of acylglycerol lipids including (a) transfecting a vector including the SLC1 gene or a variant thereof into embryonic biological material, and (b) allowing the SLC1 gene to specify the type of fatty acid at the sn2 position of acylglycerol lipids. Also provided for is an isolated SLC1 gene and a probe for its detection.
