C*-algebras of tilings with infinite rotational symmetry
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
A tiling with infinite rotational symmetry, such as the Conway-Radin Pinwheel Tiling, gives rise to a topological dynamical system to which an \'etale equivalence relation is associated. A groupoid C*-algebra for a tiling is produced and a separating dense set is exhibited in the C*-algebra which encodes the structure of the topological dynamical system. In the case of a substitution tiling, natural subsets of this separating dense set are used to define an AT-subalgebra of the C*-algebra. Finally our results are applied to the Pinwheel Tiling.

Supramolecular Protein Engineering
2010
Journal of Biological Chemistry
Bottom-up control of supramolecular protein assembly can provide a therapeutic nanobiotechnology. We demonstrate that insulin's pharmacological properties can be enhanced by design of "zinc staples" between hexamers. Paired (i, i+4) His substitutions were introduced at an α-helical surface. The crystal structure contains both classical axial zinc ions and novel zinc ions at hexamerhexamer interfaces. Although soluble at pH 4, the combined electrostatic effects of the substitutions and bridging

... inc ions cause isoelectric precipitation at neutral pH. Following subcutaneous injection in a diabetic rat, the analog effected glycemic control with time course similar to that of long-acting formulation Lantus ® . Relative to Lantus, however, the analog discriminates at least 30-fold more stringently between the insulin receptor and mitogenic IGF receptor. Because aberrant mitogenic signaling may be associated with elevated cancer risk, such enhanced specificity may improve safety. Zinc stapling provides a general strategy to modify the pharmacokinetic and biological properties of a subcutaneous protein depot. http://www.jbc.org/cgi/
Aromatic Anchor at an Invariant Hormone-Receptor Interface
2014
Journal of Biological Chemistry
Invariant insulin residue Phe B24 (a site of diabetes-associated mutation) contacts the insulin receptor. Results: Hormonal function requires hydrophobicity rather than aromaticity at this site. Conclusion: The B24 side chain provides a nonpolar anchor at the receptor interface. Significance: Nonstandard aliphatic modification of residue B24 may enhance therapeutic properties of insulin analogs. Crystallographic studies of insulin bound to fragments of the insulin receptor have recently defined

... the topography of the primary hormone-receptor interface. Here, we have investigated the role of Phe B24 , an invariant aromatic anchor at this interface and site of a human mutation causing diabetes mellitus. An extensive set of B24 substitutions has been constructed and tested for effects on receptor binding. Although aromaticity has long been considered a key requirement at this position, Met B24 was found to confer essentially native affinity and bioactivity. Molecular modeling suggests that this linear side chain can serve as an alternative hydrophobic anchor at the hormone-receptor interface. These findings motivated further substitution of Phe B24 by cyclohexanylalanine (Cha), which contains a nonplanar aliphatic ring. Contrary to expectations, [Cha B24 ]insulin likewise exhibited high activity. Furthermore, its resistance to fibrillation and the rapid rate of hexamer disassembly, properties of potential therapeutic advantage, were enhanced. The crystal structure of the Cha B24 analog, determined as an R 6 zincstabilized hexamer at a resolution of 1.5 Å , closely resembles that of wild-type insulin. The nonplanar aliphatic ring exhibits two chair conformations with partial occupancies, each recapitulating the role of Phe B24 at the dimer interface. Together, these studies have defined structural requirements of an anchor residue within the B24-binding pocket of the insulin receptor; similar molecular principles are likely to pertain to insulin-related growth factors. Our results highlight in particular the utility of nonaromatic side chains as probes of the B24 pocket and suggest that the nonstandard Cha side chain may have therapeutic utility. Insulin is a small globular protein critical to the hormonal regulation of vertebrate metabolism (Fig. 1A) (1). Containing two peptide chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), the hormone binds to a receptor tyrosine kinase, designated the insulin receptor (IR) 6 (2). The IR is a disulfide-linked homodimer with subunits (␣) 2 ; the extracellular ␣ subunit binds insulin, whereas the transmembrane  subunit contains an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain (1). The crystal structure of the dimeric ectodomain (␣ ⌬ ) 2 (where  ⌬ designates the extracellular portion of the  subunit) has revealed a ⌳-shaped conformation (Fig. 1B) , whose legs sit upon the plasma membrane (coral disk at bottom) (3). A single insulin molecule binds with high affinity to a tandem site spanning both ␣ subunits (4). This site consists of the N-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain (L1) of one ␣ subunit and the C-terminal segment of the other (␣CT). The structure of insulin bound in a ternary complex . 6 The abbreviations used are: IR, insulin receptor; ␣CT, C-terminal segment of the IR ␣ subunit; IR, domain-minimized model of the insulin receptor; Cha, cyclohexanylalanine; CR, cysteine-rich domain of IR; DM, diabetes mellitus; IGF, insulin-like growth factor; IGF-1R, type 1 IGF receptor; L1, first leucine-rich repeat domains of IR; L1- 2 , central -sheet of the L1 domain; Orn, ornithine; r.m.s.d., root-mean-square deviation; TOCSY, total correlation 1 H NMR spectroscopy; PDB, Protein Data Bank; AOC, area over the curve; MD, molecular dynamics; Amino acids are designated by standard one-and three-letter codes.

Self-similarity and limit spaces of substitution tiling semigroups

We show that Kellendonk's tiling semigroup of an FLC substitution tiling is self-similar, in the sense of Bartholdi, Grigorchuk and Nekrashevych. We extend the notion of the limit space of a self-similar group to the setting of self-similar semigroups, and show that it is homeomorphic to the Anderson--Putnam complex for such substitution tilings, with natural self-map induced by the substitution. Thus, the inverse limit of the limit space, given by the limit solenoid of the self-similar

Subunit dissociation and metal binding by Escherichia coli apo-manganese superoxide dismutase
2011
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Metal binding by apo-manganese superoxide dismutase (apo-MnSOD) is essential for functional maturation of the enzyme. Previous studies have demonstrated that metal binding by apo-MnSOD is conformationally gated, requiring protein reorganization for the metal to bind. We have now solved the X-ray crystal structure of apo-MnSOD at 1.9 Å resolution. The organization of active site residues is independent of the presence of the metal cofactor, demonstrating that protein itself templates the unusual

... metal coordination geometry. Electrophoretic analysis of mixtures of apoand (Mn 2 )-MnSOD, dye-conjugated protein, or C-terminal Strep-tag II fusion protein reveals a dynamic subunit exchange process associated with cooperative metal binding by the two subunits of the dimeric protein. In contrast, (S126C) (SS) apo-MnSOD, which contains an inter-subunit covalent disulfide crosslink, exhibits anticooperative metal binding. The protein concentration dependence of metal uptake kinetics implies that protein dissociation is involved in metal binding by the wild type apo-protein, although other processes may also contribute to gating metal uptake. Protein concentration dependent small-zone size exclusion chromatography is consistent with apo-MnSOD dimer dissociation at low protein concentration (K D = 1×10 −6 M). Studies on metal uptake by apo-MnSOD in Escherichia coli cells show that the protein exhibits similar behavior in vivo and in vitro.
