Restarting Stalled Replication Forks02:37

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart, a...
Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.

Rab Cascades01:25

Rab Cascades

Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs) are crucial for forming receptors with CLR and CTR. Specific RAMP1 regions influence CLR and CGRP binding, with CTR association being highly sensitive to RAMP1 structural changes.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs) modulate the function of G protein-coupled receptors.
  • RAMP1 forms heterodimers with calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and calcitonin receptor (CTR) to create distinct signaling complexes.
  • Understanding RAMP-receptor interactions is key to deciphering signaling pathways and developing targeted therapeutics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structural determinants of RAMP1 involved in CLR and CTR complex formation.
  • To elucidate the role of specific extracellular RAMP1 regions in recognizing CLR and binding peptide ligands like CGRP.
  • To compare the structural sensitivity of CLR and CTR associations with RAMP1.

Main Methods:

  • Construction and analysis of RAMP1-RAMP3 chimeras to map functional domains.
  • Assessment of CLR trafficking as an indicator of CLR-RAMP1 association.
  • Evaluation of peptide ligand (alphaCGRP, betaCGRP, adrenomedullin) potency using chimera-expressing systems.
  • Structural modeling to predict the impact of chimera exchanges on protein-ligand interactions.

Main Results:

  • Exchanges in RAMP1 extracellular helices 1 and 2 (residues 62-69) significantly impaired CLR trafficking, suggesting altered CLR recognition.
  • Alterations in RAMP1 residues 86-89 affected alphaCGRP and adrenomedullin potency but not betaCGRP, indicating ligand-specific roles.
  • Changes in RAMP1 residues 90-94 reduced CLR expression and CGRP potency, pointing to a dual role in CLR and CGRP interaction.
  • CTR association with RAMP1 was more sensitive to structural modifications than CLR association, with only a few chimeras maintaining agonist potency.

Conclusions:

  • Specific extracellular regions of RAMP1 are critical for CLR association and peptide binding.
  • RAMP1 residues 86-89 and 90-94 play distinct roles in mediating interactions with CLR and CGRP.
  • The RAMP1-CTR complex appears more structurally constrained and sensitive to RAMP1 modifications than the RAMP1-CLR complex.
  • These findings provide insights into the structural basis of RAMP-mediated receptor assembly and function.
