mTORC1, the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1, is a key regulator of cellular physiology. The lipid metabolite phosphatidic acid (PA) binds to and activates mTORC1 in response to nutrients and growth factors. After reviewing structural findings, we propose a model for PA activation of mTORC1. PA binds a highly conserved sequence on ?4 helix of the FKBP12-rapamycin binding domain of mTOR. It is proposed that PA binding to two adjacent positively charged amino acids breaks and shortens the C-terminal region of ?4-helix. This leads to profound consequences for substrate binding and catalytic activity of mTORC1.
The studies on the dendritic crystallization of biological solutions are significant for medical applications. This manuscript reports our systematic study on the solution dendritic crystallization as a function of temperature, pH value, and the concentrations of its major components. And the factors that cause the variation in the crystal patterns, the distribution of the main components in the crystals, and the sequence of their deposition or crystallization. By summarizing the general crystallization behaviour and formation mechanisms of biological solutions, we proposed the methods of crystal pattern analysis for the solution characteristics tests or growing the crystals with desired patterns for different purposes. By the methods, one can conduct a quantitative test on a solution by analysing its evaporated crystallization patterns. Therefore, the chemical compound measurements that usually need to use analytical instruments can be transferred to simple pattern recognition and analysis and make it become an objective test. With a smartphone-based portable imaging device, the crystal pattern analysis method can be a powerful means for daily use of medical and biochemical point-of-care testing (POCT). On this basis, we developed a simple smartphone-based salivary crystallization imaging system with functions of AI-aided rapid automatic pattern recognition and analysis to help pregnant women monitor their fetal status daily at home and predict their delivery date by analysing their saliva crystallization. The method combines the information of the fractal dimension with some specific forms of crystals in the salivary crystallization and estimates the delivery date in both quantitative and qualitative manners. The accuracy of the prediction was satisfactory, with 100% delivery in the predicted week, 93.3% within the three days, and 86.7% on the day as the prediction.
We present a new concept for crystallization of integral membrane proteins. Our working hypothesis relies on the assumption that by conjugating-micelles containing the target membrane protein, one would bring the latter into proximity and stabilize nucleation centers that would support crystal growth. Micellar conjugation is achieved with amphiphilic [metal:chelator] complexes generated at the micelle\water boundary. The binding affinity between the metal and the hydrophobic chelator used, defines the (i) strength of binding between: protein detergent complexes (PDCs) as well as (ii) the rate at which PDCs dissociate & reassociate until the most ordered PDCs assembly, is reached. Thus far, 3D crystals of two membrane proteins belonging to the retinal family were obtained via this approach, but these were either too small or too thin to allow structure determination. Therefore, His-tagged micelles are being developed as a potential alternative.
