Characterisation of strain-specific sequences from an abortifacient strain of ovine Chlamydia psittaci using subtraction hybridisation

BACKGROUND: The antigens of the human Rh system are of great clinical significance in transfusion medicine and pregnancy. Of the Rh system antigens, D is clinically the most important, being one of the most immunogenic structures arising from human cells. The human D antigen represents a collection of epitopes expressed on a red cell membrane protein that is predicted to have 12 membrane-spanning segments giving rise to six exofacial domains. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: By site-directed mutagenesis using the method of inverse polymerase chain reaction, cE and D cDNA mutant constructs were generated with changes to the RHD-specific residues 350, 353, and 354 in the predicted sixth exofacial loop. Each mutant cDNA was subcloned into the pBabe puromycin retroviral vector, and supernatants were used to transduce K562 cells. Puromycin-resistant K562 clones were screened by flow cytometric analysis using a panel of monoclonal antibodies with specificities to ep (epitope) D1 through epD9. RESULTS: De novo expression of epD3 and epD9 was generated in the K562 cell lines expressing the mutated cE polypeptide (cE-Asp350His, Gly353Trp, Ala354Asn). Expression of c and E was unaffected. Conversely, the cells expressing the mutated D polypeptide demonstrated loss of expression of epD1, epD2, epD3, epD4, and epD9. CONCLUSION: The data provide strong evidence for the critical involvement of three amino acids, Asp350, Gly353, and Ala354, in the expression of epD3 and epD9 on the predicted sixth external domain of the D protein. This domain also appears to be essential for the expression of epD1, epD2, and epD4, as a loss of expression of these epitopes was observed in K562 cells transduced with the Dmut construct (encoding His350, Trp353, and Asn354). The K562/Dmut cell line has an identical molecular and serologic profile as the red cell D(IVb) phenotype, which confirms that retroviral gene transfer of Rh cDNA into K562 cells provides us with a powerful means by which to further map epitopes of D.     

Triple helix formation: binding avidity of acridine-conjugated AG motif third strands containing natural, modified and surrogate bases opposed to pyrimidine interruptions in a polypurine target

A critical issue for the general application of triple-helix-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) as modulators of gene expression is the dramatically reduced binding of short TFOs to targets that contain one or two pyrimidines within an otherwise homopurine sequence. Such targets are often found in gene regulatory regions, which represent desirable sites for triple helix formation. Using intercalator-conjugated AG motif TFOs, we compared the efficacy and base selectivity of 13 different bases or base surrogates in opposition to pyrimidines and purines substituted into selected positions within a paradigm 15-base polypurine target sequence. We found that substitutions closer to the intercalator end of the TFO (positions 4-6) had a more deleterious effect on the dissociation constant (K d) than those farther away (position 11). Opposite T residues at position 11, 3-nitropyrrole or cytosine in the TFO provided adequate binding avidity for useful triplex formation (K ds of 55 and 110 nM, respectively). However, 3-nitropyrrole was more base selective than cytosine, binding to T >/=4 times better than to A, G or C. None of the TFOs tested showed avid binding when C residues were in position 11, although the 3-nitropyrrole-containing TFO bound with a K d of 200 nM, significantly better than the other designs. Molecular modeling showed that the 3-nitropyrrole.T:A triad is isomorphous with the A.A:T triad, and suggests novel parameters for evaluating new base triad designs.     

Cutting edge: protective effects of notch-1 on TCR-induced apoptosis

The Notch receptor protein was originally identified in Drosophila and is known to mediate cell to cell communication and influence cell fate decisions. Members of this family have been isolated from invertebrates as well as vertebrates. We isolated mouse Notch-1 in a yeast two-hybrid screen with Nur77, which is a protein that has been shown previously to be required for apoptosis in T cell lines. The data presented below indicate that Notch-1 expression provides significant protection to T cell lines from TCR-mediated apoptosis. These data demonstrate a new antiapoptotic role for Notch-1, providing evidence that, in addition to regulating cell fate decisions, Notch-1 can play a critical role in controlling levels of cell death in T cells.     

Amino-terminal sequencing of sheep CD1 antigens and identification of a sheep CD1D gene

The anti-CD1 monoclonal antibodies IAH-CC14 and SBU-T6 were used to immunopurify CD1 antigens from sheep thymocytes. The amino-terminal sequence of IAH-CC14 yielded 13 amino acids, and 29 amino acids were obtained from the SBU-T6 antigen. The sequence of the IAH-CC14 antigen was 100% identical to the predicted sequence of the sheep CD1B clone, SCD1B-42. The 29 amino acid sequence of the SBU-T6 antigen did not match identically with the derived amino acid sequence of any of the previously reported sheep CD1 genes but had closest similarity to the derived sequence of human CD1E. Degenerate polymerase chain reaction primers based on this sequence identified a group 2 sheep CD1 gene. The predicted amino acid sequence of this gene shows that it is not identical to the SBU-T6 peptide, indicating that a different, CD1D-like gene was cloned.     

Reactive oxygen species activate human peripheral blood dendritic cells

This study investigates the effects of hydrogen peroxide, a potent oxygen free radical donor, on the phenotype and function of dendritic cells differentiated from peripheral blood precursors. We report that hydrogen peroxide induces an up-regulation of several dendritic cell surface markers involved in interaction with T cells, including MHC Class II molecules (DQ and DR) and the co-stimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86. Moreover we have observed that H2O2-treated dendritic cells are more efficient in promoting T cell proliferation than normal dendritic cells and that this enhancement can be blocked using the free radical scavenger agent N-acetylcysteine. Oxygen free radicals are a common by-product of inflammation, and our results suggest they may play an important role in activation of sentinel dendritic cells, linking tissue damage to the initiation of an adaptive immune response.
