Background Tendon heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common condition occurring secondary to tendon injury or surgical trauma that significantly affects the patient’s quality of life. The treatment of tendon HO remains challenging due to a lack of clarity regarding the pathological mechanism. Mohawk (MKX) is a key factor in preventing tendon HO; however, its upstream regulatory mechanism remains to be understood. This study aimed to identify potential compounds that target and regulate MKX and explore their functional mechanisms. Methods Bioinformatics analysis of MKX-related compounds and proteins was performed based on data from the STITCH and OncoBinder databases. Subsequently, the SymMap database was used to study MKX-related traditional Chinese medicine drugs and symptoms. Next, the OncoBinder genomic and proteomic discovery model was applied to identify potential regulators of MKX. The analytical tool Expert Protein Analysis System for proteomics was used to predict the three-dimensional structure of MKX, and the AutoDockTools software was used to identify pockets of activity at potential sites for molecular docking. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of different doses of 17-beta-estradiol on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Results By predicting the three-dimensional structure of MKX and simulating molecular docking, Pro-Tyr and 17-beta-Estradiol were found to target and bind to MKX. Analysis of the STITCH and OncoBinder databases showed that MKX had a significant regulatory correlation with suppressor interacting 3 A/histone deacetylase 1 (SIN3A/HDAC1). The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the functions of MKX and its associated proteins were mainly enriched in osteogenic-related pathways. Assessment of the proliferation of BM-MSCs revealed that 17-beta-estradiol possibly upregulated the mRNA expression of the HDAC1-SIN3A/BMP pathway-related RUNX2, thereby promoting the proliferation of BM-MSCs. Conclusions The compounds Pro-Tyr and 17-beta-Estradiol may bind to MKX and thus affect the interaction of MKX with SIN3A/HDAC1.

Purpose. Curcumin is a potential drug for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Its mechanism of action has not been elucidated. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of action of curcumin in the treatment of CRC via bioinformatics methods such as network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods. The targets of curcumin and CRC were obtained from the public databases. The component-targets network of curcumin in the treatment of CRC was constructed by Cytoscape v3.7.2. Through protein-protein interaction (PPI), the Gene Ontology (GO), and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), important targets and signaling pathways related to CRC treatment were identified. Finally, the results were verified by molecular docking, and the correlation between the key targets and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) was analyzed. Results. A total of 30 potential targets of curcumin for CRC treatment were collected. The GO function enrichment analysis showed 140 items, and the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed 61 signaling pathways related to the regulation of protein kinase activity, negative regulation of apoptosis process, cancer signaling pathway, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The molecular docking results showed that curcumin could be combined with AKT1, EGFR, and STAT3 more stably, and AKT1 has the strongest binding to curcumin. Bioinformatics analysis discovered that the expression of core targets AKT1, EGFR, and STAT3 in CRC was related to TICs. Conclusion. This study explored the targets and pathways of curcumin in the treatment of CRC. The core targets are AKT1, EGFR, and STAT3. The study indicated that curcumin has preventive and treatment effects on CRC through multitarget and multipathway, which laid the foundation for follow-up research.

Laccases belonging to multicopper oxidase family oxidize a broad range of reducing substrates, especially industrial effluents-derived polyphenols, which causing major effect on human health as well as environment. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of interaction between laccase and its substrate, it is a good idea to analyze three-dimensional structure of laccase. Based on crystal structure ofEscherichia colilaccase CueO, the three-dimensional structure ofAeromonas hydrophilaLaccase (Ah-lac) was constructed by homology modeling and further evaluated using PROSA energy and ERRAT. The substrate binding site in Ah-lac was predicted and the binding mode of 2,5-Xylidine as a putative ligand to Ah-lac was presented using molecular docking. The residues of Met378 and His382 in the binding pocket are responsible for the interactions with 2,5-Xylidine via two hydrogen bonds. The two residues could be important for substrate recognition.

Nudaurelia capensis β virus (NβV) is an RNA virus of the South African Pine Emperor moth, Nudaurelia cytherea capensis (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). The NβV capsid is a T = 4 icosahedron that contains 60T = 240 subunits of the coat protein (Mr = 61,000). A three-dimensional reconstruction of the NβV capsid was previously computed from visions embedded in negative stain suspended over holes in a carbon film. We have re-examined the three-dimensional structure of NβV, using cryo-microscopy to examine the native, unstained structure of the virion and to provide a initial phasing model for high-resolution x-ray crystallographic studiesNβV was purified and prepared for cryo-microscopy as described. Micrographs were recorded ∼1 - 2 μm underfocus at a magnification of 49,000X with a total electron dose of about 1800 e-/nm2.

In an effort to understand the complex relationship between structure and biological function within the nucleus, we have embarked on a program to examine the three-dimensional structure and organization of Drosophila melanogaster embryonic chromosomes. Our overall goal is to determine how DNA and proteins are organized into complex and highly dynamic structures (chromosomes) and how these chromosomes are arranged in three dimensional space within the cell nucleus. Futher, we hope to be able to correlate structual data with such fundamental biological properties as stage in the mitotic cell cycle, developmental state and transcription at specific gene loci.Towards this end, we have been developing methodologies for the three-dimensional analysis of non-crystalline biological specimens using optical and electron microscopy. We feel that the combination of these two complementary techniques allows an unprecedented look at the structural organization of cellular components ranging in size from 100A to 100 microns.

Dimensional Reconstruction

The head to tail connector of bacteriophages plays a fundamental role in the assembly of viral heads and DNA packaging. In spite of the absence of sequence homology, the structure of connectors from different viruses (T4, Ø29, T3, P22, etc) share common morphological features, that are most clearly revealed in their three-dimensional structure. We have studied the three-dimensional reconstruction of the connector protein from phage T3 (gp 8) from tilted view of two dimensional crystals obtained from this protein after cloning and purification.DNA sequences including gene 8 from phage T3 were cloned, into Bam Hl-Eco Rl sites down stream of lambda promotor PL, in the expression vector pNT45 under the control of cI857. E R204 (pNT89) cells were incubated at 42°C for 2h, harvested and resuspended in 20 mM Tris HC1 (pH 7.4), 7mM 2 mercaptoethanol, ImM EDTA. The cells were lysed by freezing and thawing in the presence of lysozyme (lmg/ml) and ligthly sonicated. The low speed supernatant was precipitated by ammonium sulfate (60% saturated) and dissolved in the original buffer to be subjected to gel nitration through Sepharose 6B, followed by phosphocellulose colum (Pll) and DEAE cellulose colum (DE52). Purified gp8 appeared at 0.3M NaCl and formed crystals when its concentration increased above 1.5 mg/ml.
