まとめ
アルコール関連肝炎 (AH) の患者は,ヒト血清アルブミン (HSA) の形態が変化し,先天的なHSAが低下し,健康な個人に比べて酸化形態が増加しています. これらのHSAの修正は,研究されたAH患者の短期生存を予測しませんでした.

背景:
- ヒト血清アルブミン (HSA) の翻訳後の修正 (PTM) は,肝臓疾患において観察されています.
- アルコール関連肝炎 (AH) は,重大な罹病率と死亡率を伴う重度の肝疾患です.
研究 の 目的:
- 入院したAH患者におけるHSAの微分異質性を特徴付けるため.
- AHにおけるHSAイソフォームの臨床的関連性を調査し,生存率との関連性を含む.
主な方法:
- 49人のAH患者と20人の健康な対照群を対象とした前向きなコホート研究.
- 入院時と14日目における質量スペクトロメトリーを用いたHSAアイソフォームの分析.
- 30,90,365日の生存率の評価について.
主要な成果:
- AH患者は,コントロールと比較して,HSAプロファイルがはっきりと示され,本来のHSAが減少し,酸化形態が上昇しました.
- ネイティブのHSA濃度は,総HSA濃度 (R = -0.47,p < 0.001) と負の相関を示した.
- 相対的ネイティブHSAはわずかに増加したが,推定濃度は入院から14日 (p = 0.005) まで大幅に上昇した.しかし,HSA形態は90日生存と有意に相関していない.
結論:
- AHの患者は,HSAの有意なPTMを示しています.
- HSAのイソフォームプロファイルは,早期入院中に変化しますが,AHの短期死亡率の信頼できる予測者ではありません.

Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER
7.8K
A sizable fraction of proteins destined for ER are first synthesized in the cell cytosol and then transported across the ER membrane–a process called post-translational translocation. Similar to cotranslationally translocated proteins, these proteins also use the Sec translocon complex to enter the ER lumen.
Targeting proteins to the ER
Hsp40 and Hsp70 chaperone molecules bind the translated proteins in the cytosol to prevent their folding. The chaperone binding helps to keep the signal...

Lesson: Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Initiation of Translation
39.2K
Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Termination of Translation
27.9K
The large ribosomal subunit has several important structures essential to translation. These include the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) - which is the site where the peptide bond is formed - and a large, internal, water-filled tube through which the nascent polypeptide moves. This latter structure is called the Peptide Exit Tunnel, and it begins at the PTC and spans the body of the large ribosomal subunit. During translation, as the nascent polypeptide chain is synthesized, it passes through...

Improving Translational Accuracy
15.0K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...
