- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and sarcopenia (SARC) often coexist, leading to impaired mobility through reduced muscle strength and altered bone metabolism. This study aimed to identify core diagnostic genes linking AS and SARC. This research analyzed 2 AS and 1 SARC dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Moreover, module genes and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were evaluated via linear models for microarray data (Limma) and the weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis, various machine learning (ML) algorithms, and protein-protein interaction networks were employed for elucidating key candidate genes for the diagnosis of AS patients with SARC. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve plots were utilized to determine the diagnostic significance of key genes. The merged AS dataset identified 1768 and 438 DEGs and module genes, respectively, in SARC. The intersection of module genes in SARC and DEGs in AS revealed 287 genes, which were predominantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation. The protein-protein interaction network indicated 30 node genes. Furthermore, ML analysis identified 10 candidate hub genes for diagnostic value evaluation. In total, 6 candidate genes indicated high diagnostic significance key genes with the area under the curve > 0.7. The current study determined 6 hub genes (ENSA, FAM43A, MDH2, NUBP1, SAMM50, and TM2D1) for diagnosing AS patients with SARC, therefore providing a theoretical reference for potential diagnostic targets in these patients. - Source: PubMed
Ka YishaerLiu YingxinLi LanqiJiang HuiLv WenboWang LeiHe Xiaojin - Human cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxin-3 (GLRX3) plays a central role in the maturation of cytosolic [4Fe-4S] proteins by acting as a [2Fe2S] cluster donor to early components of the cytosolic iron-sulfur assembly (CIA) machinery, including the P-loop NTPase nucleotide-binding protein 1 (NUBP1). While previous studies have established that dimeric, cluster-bridged GLRX3 transfers its [2Fe-2S] clusters to NUBP1 promoting the formation of the [4Fe4S] cluster, the determinants within GLRX3 that enable this transfer remain unclear. Here, we analyze the specific contribution of each GLRX3 domain-glutaredoxin A (GrxA), glutaredoxin B (GrxB), and thioredoxin-like (Trx)-to the transfer of [2Fe-2S] clusters to NUBP1. We show in vitro that a cooperative mechanism between the two cluster-binding domains, GrxA and GrxB, is essential for the formation of a functional dimeric GLRX3 complex capable of efficient cluster transfer and for the assembly of the [4Fe4S] cluster on NUBP1. In contrast, the Trx domain appears dispensable for this activity in these experimental conditions. These findings may provide new insights into the features underlying GLRX3 function in cytosolic [4Fe-4S] cluster biogenesis and highlight the domain-specific contributions to its role as a [2Fe2S] cluster chaperone. - Source: PubMed

Cuccaro RosannaMasini MartinaMalanho Silva JoséCamponeschi FrancescaBanci Lucia - In recent years, the dwindling population of these endangered geese has hindered our understanding of their phenotypic variations and the genes associated with important traits. To investigate the population structure and genetic diversity of this breed, the whole-genome data of 90 individuals from a conservation farm were obtained using the Illumina 6000 paired-end platform. The research results indicate that each locally endangered goose variety has formed a monophyletic population. The Baizi (BZ), Lingxian White (LX), and Xupu (XP) geese exhibiting higher genetic diversity than the other goose breeds. Tree-Mix analysis revealed the presence of five gene flows events between goose populations, with Yangjiang (YJ) geese consistently exhibiting significant genetic distance from the other breeds. Under strong pressures from the natural environment and artificial selection, whole-genome selective scanning revealed 394 overlapping genes. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the putative candidate genes (PCGs) revealed significant enrichment of 20 terms (P < 0.05). Similarly, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment of PCGs in 23 terms (P < 0.05). Examination of overlapping genes identified through at least two selection methods revealed a set of genes associated with key traits, including growth and development (CCND1, DES, CCNO, SMC5, and NUBP1), immunity (ABCA2, ABCC8, UHRF2, and ABCA1), and body aging (KAT6B). Our findings provide insights into the genetic basis of endangered geese at the whole-genome level, laying the foundation for future molecular research on genetic variation and phenotypic changes. In summary, our results provide invaluable resources for delineating the uniqueness of endangered goose breeds. - Source: PubMed

Qi ShangzongWu TengWu HaoLiang YuZhao WenmingZhang YangXu QiChen Guohong - [4Fe-4S] cluster assembly in human cytosol requires both a [2Fe-2S] cluster chaperone being able to donate two [2Fe-2S] clusters and an electron donor providing two electrons to reductively couple the two [2Fe-2S] clusters into a [4Fe-4S] cluster. The mechanism through which the cytosolic [4Fe-4S] cluster assembly works is still not defined. Here, we show that a hetero-tetrameric complex formed by two molecules of cluster-reduced [2Fe-2S] -anamorsin and one molecule of dimeric cluster-oxidized [2Fe-2S] -GLRX3 orchestrates the assembly of a [4Fe-4S] cluster on the N-terminal cluster binding site of the cytosolic protein NUBP1. We demonstrate that the hetero-tetrameric complex is able to synergically provide two [2Fe-2S] clusters from GLRX3 and two electrons from anamorsin for the assembly of the [4Fe-4S] cluster on the N-terminal cluster binding site of NUBP1. We also showed that only one of the two [2Fe-2S] clusters bound to anamorsin, that is, that bound to the CX CX CXC motif, provides the electrons required to form the [4Fe-4S] cluster. Our study contributes to the molecular understanding of the mechanism of [4Fe-4S] protein biogenesis in the cytosol. - Source: PubMed
Bargagna BeatriceMatteucci SaraCiofi-Baffoni SimoneCamponeschi FrancescaBanci Lucia - The cytosolic iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly (CIA) pathway delivers Fe-S clusters to nuclear and cytosolic Fe-S proteins involved in essential cellular functions. Although the delivery process is regulated by the availability of iron and oxygen, it remains unclear how CIA components orchestrate the cluster transfer under varying cellular environments. Here, we utilized a targeted proteomics assay for monitoring CIA factors and substrates to characterize the CIA machinery. We find that nucleotide-binding protein 1 (NUBP1/NBP35), cytosolic iron-sulfur assembly component 3 (CIAO3/NARFL), and CIA substrates associate with nucleotide-binding protein 2 (NUBP2/CFD1), a component of the CIA scaffold complex. NUBP2 also weakly associates with the CIA targeting complex (MMS19, CIAO1, and CIAO2B) indicating the possible existence of a higher order complex. Interactions between CIAO3 and the CIA scaffold complex are strengthened upon iron supplementation or low oxygen tension, while iron chelation and reactive oxygen species weaken CIAO3 interactions with CIA components. We further demonstrate that CIAO3 mutants defective in Fe-S cluster binding fail to integrate into the higher order complexes. However, these mutants exhibit stronger associations with CIA substrates under conditions in which the association with the CIA targeting complex is reduced suggesting that CIAO3 and CIA substrates may associate in complexes independently of the CIA targeting complex. Together, our data suggest that CIA components potentially form a metabolon whose assembly is regulated by environmental cues and requires Fe-S cluster incorporation in CIAO3. These findings provide additional evidence that the CIA pathway adapts to changes in cellular environment through complex reorganization. - Source: PubMed
