Mitochondrial functional and structural impairment and generation of oxidative stress have been implicated in aging, various diseases and chemotherapies. This study analyzed azidothymidine (AZT)-caused failures in mitochondrial functions, in redox regulation and activation of the HIV-1 gene expression. We monitored intracellular concentrations of ATP and glutathione (GSH) as the indicators of energy production and redox conditions, respectively, during the time-course experiments with U937 and MOLT4 human lymphoid cells in the presence of AZT (0.05 mgÆmL)1) or H2O2 (0.01 mM) for 15–25 days.

DNA transactions in eukaryotes require that proteins gain access to target sequences packaged in chromatin. Further, interactions between distinct nucleoprotein complexes are often required to generate higher-order structures. Here, we employed two prokaryotic site-specific recombination systems to investigate how chromatin packaging affects the assembly of nucleoprotein structures of different complexities at more than 30 genomic loci. The dynamic nature of chromatin permitted protein–DNA and DNA–DNA interactions for sites of at least 34 bp in length.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 inhibited human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell invasion through recon-stituted basement membranein vitro. Inhibition of invasion was dependent upon plasminogen and MMP-3 activation, was impaired by the peptide MMP-3 inhibitor Ac-Arg-Cys-Gly-Val-Pro-Asp-NH2 and was associated with: rapid MMP-3-mediated plasminogen degradation to microplas-minogen and angiostatin-like fragments;

Protein synthesis requires both amino acids, as precursors, and a substantial amount of metabolic energy. It is well established that starvation or lack of nutrients impairs pro-tein synthesis in mammalian cells and tissues. Branched chain amino acids are particularly effective in promoting protein synthesis. Recent work has revealed important new information about the mechanisms involved in these effects. Anumber of components of the translational machinery are regulated through signalling events that require the mam-malian target of rapamycin, mTOR. ...

The nonphotosynthetic mutant ofArabidopsis hcf152is impaired in the processing of the chloroplast polycistronic transcript, psbB-psbT-psbH-petB-petD, resulting in non-production of the essential photosynthetic cytochromeb6 f complex. The nucleus-encodedHCF152gene was identified to encode a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein com-posed primarily of 12 PPR motifs, similar to other proteins of this family that were identified in mutants defected in chloroplast gene expression.

Synaptophysin, one of the major proteins on synaptic vesi-cles, is ubiquitously expressed throughout the brain. Syn-aptophysin and synapsin I, another synaptic vesicle protein, are also expressed by retinoic acid-induced neuronally dif-ferentiated P19 teratocarcinoma cells. Here, we show that inhibition of histone deacetylase activity in P19 cells is suf-ficient to activate transcription of the synaptophysin and synapsin I genes, indicating that neuronal differentiation and impairment of histone deacetylases results in a similar gene expression pattern....

Activation of a temperature-sensitive formof p53 inmurine erythroleukaemia cells results in a rapid impairment of protein synthesis that precedes inhibitionof cell proliferation and loss of cell viability by several hours. The inhibition of translation is associated with specific cleavages of polypep-tide chain initiation factors eIF4GI and eIF4B, a pheno-menon previously observed in cells induced to undergo apoptosis in response to other stimuli.

The induction of the heat shock response as well as its termination is auto-regulated by heat shock protein activities. In this study we have investi-gated whether Hsp90 functional protein levels influence the characteristics and duration of the heat shock response. Treatment of cells with several benzoquinone ansamycin inhibitors of Hsp90 (geldanamycin, herbimycin A) activated a heat shock response in the absence of heat shock, as reported previously.
