Experimental verification of a sequence-based prediction: F(1)F(0)-type ATPase of Vibrio cholerae transports protons, not Na(+) ions.

The membrane energetics of the intestinal pathogen Vibrio cholerae involves both H(+) and Na(+) as coupling ions. The sequence of the c subunit of V. cholerae F(0)F(1) ATPase suggested that this enzyme is H(+) specific, in contrast to the results of previous studies on the Na(+)-dependent ATP synthesis in closely related Vibrio spp. Measurements of the pH gradient and membrane potential in membrane vesicles isolated from wild-type and DeltaatpE mutant V. cholerae show that the F(1)F(0) ATPase of V. cholerae is an H(+), not Na(+), pump, confirming the bioinformatics assignments that were based on the Na(+)-binding model of S. Rahlfs and V. Muller (FEBS Lett. 404:269-271, 1999). Application of this model to the AtpE sequences from other bacteria and archaea indicates that Na(+)-specific F(1)F(0) ATPases are present in a number of important bacterial pathogens.

Gene transcription of fgl2 in endothelial cells is controlled by Ets-1 and Oct-1 and requires the presence of both Sp1 and Sp3.

The immune coagulant fgl2/fibroleukin has been previously shown to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of murine and human fulminant hepatitis and fetal loss syndrome. Constitutive expression of fgl2 transcripts at low levels are seen in cytotoxic T cells, endothelial, intestinal and trophoblast cells, while specific factors (such as virus and cytokines) are required to induce high levels of fgl2 expression in other cell types including monocytes/macrophages. To address the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate constitutive expression of fgl2, murine genomic clones were characterized and the transcription start site was defined by 5'-RACE and primer extension. A comprehensive assessment of basal fgl2 promoter activity in murine vascular endothelial cells defined a minimal 119 bp region responsible for constitutive fgl2 transcription. A complex positive regulatory domain (PRD) spanning a 39-bp sequence from -87 to -49 (relative to the transcription start site) was identified. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay studies in vascular endothelial cells revealed that the nucleoprotein complexes that form on this positive regulatory domain (PRD) contain Sp1/Sp3 family members, Oct-1, and Ets-1. Heterologous expression studies in Drosophila Schneider cells confirmed that the constitutive expression of this gene is controlled by Ets-1 and requires the presence both of the Sp1 and Sp3 transcription factors. The presence of this complex multicomponent PRD in the fgl2 proximal promoter is consistent with the observation that, in vivo, fgl2 expression is tightly regulated. Moreover, viral induced fgl2 expression also requires the presence of this PRD. These results clearly demonstrate that multiple cis DNA elements in a clustered region work cooperatively to regulate constitutive fgl2 expression and interact with inducible elements to regulate viral-induced fgl2 expression in endothelial cells.

Interactions between M proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes and glycosaminoglycans promote bacterial adhesion to host cells.

Several microbial pathogens have been reported to interact with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix. Here we demonstrate that M protein, a major surface-expressed virulence factor of the human bacterial pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes, mediates binding to various forms of GAGs. Hence, S. pyogenes strains expressing a large number of different types of M proteins bound to dermatan sulfate (DS), highly sulfated fractions of heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin, whereas strains deficient in M protein surface expression failed to interact with these GAGs. Soluble M protein bound DS directly and could also inhibit the interaction between DS and S. pyogenes. Experiments with M protein fragments and with streptococci expressing deletion constructs of M protein, showed that determinants located in the NH2-terminal part as well as in the C-repeat region of the streptococcal proteins are required for full binding to GAGs. Treatment with ABC-chondroitinase and HS lyase that specifically remove DS and HS chains from cell surfaces, resulted in significantly reduced adhesion of S. pyogenes bacteria to human epithelial cells and skin fibroblasts. Together with the finding that exogenous DS and HS could inhibit streptococcal adhesion, these data suggest that GAGs function as receptors in M protein-mediated adhesion of S. pyogenes.

AIMS: Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) appears to be important in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Correlation of IMCL content of soleus muscle with insulin sensitivity has been reported in the Caucasian population. In the present study, IMCL content was estimated in the soleus muscle of both non-obese healthy males and Type 2 diabetic males, and correlated with the anthropometric parameters, blood glucose, plasma lipids, and insulin resistance in Asian Indians from North India. METHODS: Twenty males (Type 2 diabetes mellitus 10; healthy controls 10) with body mass index (BMI) <or= 25 kg/m2 were recruited in the study. In both healthy and diabetic groups, five subjects had percentage body fat (%BF) <or= 25, and other five subjects had percentage BF > 25. The following were assessed in all subjects: body composition, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, insulin levels, insulin resistance by homeostasis model assessment, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) study of the soleus muscle. RESULTS: IMCL content was approximately two times higher in Type 2 diabetic males compared with healthy males (P < 0.05). Amongst healthy males, IMCL content was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in subjects with percentage BF > 25 compared with subjects with percentage BF or= 25. Similarly, IMCL content was high in subjects with waist-hip ratio (WHR) > 0.95 compared with subjects with WHR <or= 0.95. In healthy males but not in diabetic males, positive significant correlation of IMCL content of soleus muscle was observed with waist circumference (r = 0.73, P < 0.05) and WHR (r = 0.71, P < 0.05). However, IMCL content did not correlate significantly to insulin resistance in both the groups. CONCLUSIONS: 1H MRS study of soleus muscle in a small sample of non-obese Asian Indians showed higher IMCL content in Type 2 diabetics compared with healthy subjects. Non-obese healthy male subjects having high percentage BF and WHR also had high IMCL content, and it significantly correlated to waist circumference and WHR. However, lack of relationship of IMCL content with insulin resistance in Asian Indians needs further study.

Metallic taste: an unusual reaction to botulinum toxin A.

Murray C, Solish N.

BACKGROUND: Botulinum neurotoxin formulations are safe and effective agents for the treatment of facial rhytides. OBJECTIVES: A patient is described who complained of metallic taste after each treatment with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A). RESULTS: The sensation of metallic taste diminished after successive treatments with BTX-A, despite adequate dosing for cosmetic purposes. CONCLUSION: Metallic taste is associated with the use of numerous medications; however, the pathogenesis remains unclear. Alteration in zinc metabolism, which may occur with BTX-A administration, has been suggested as a possible mechanism. Although this is the first known report of dysgeusia after BTX-A, physicians and patients may be reassured that the taste alteration was self-limited and was not significantly problematic for the patient in our case.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
