Dynamic effects of cofactors and DNA on the oligomeric state of human mitochondrial DNA helicase

We examined the effects of cofactors and DNA on the stability, oligomeric state and conformation of the human mitochondrial DNA helicase. We demonstrate that low salt conditions result in protein aggregation that may cause dissociation of oligomeric structure. The low salt sensitivity of the mitochondrial DNA helicase is mitigated by the presence of magnesium, nucleotide, and increased temperature. Electron microscopic and glutaraldehyde cross-linking analyses provide the first evidence of a heptameric oligomer and its interconversion from a hexameric form. Limited proteolysis by trypsin shows that binding of nucleoside triphosphate produces a conformational change that is distinct from the conformation observed in the presence of nucleoside diphosphate. We find that single-stranded DNA binding occurs in the absence of cofactors and renders the mitochondrial DNA helicase more susceptible to proteolytic digestion. Our studies indicate that the human mitochondrial DNA helicase shares basic properties with the SF4 replicative helicases, but also identify common features with helicases outside the superfamily, including dynamic conformations similar to other AAA⁺ ATPases.

Curso de nivelación para los alumnos de nuevo ingreso en la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

En la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de Madrid, se ha desarrollado un curso que cabe denominar de Nivelación. Incluyó un conjunto de actividades destinadas a lograr que los alumnos accedieran con éxito al mundo Universitario. Era un curso dirigido a los alumnos que una vez concluido el bachillerato y superadas las Pruebas de Acceso a Estudios Universitarios habían sido admitidos para cursar el primer curso de los estudios conducentes al título universi-tario oficial de Arquitecto Técnico. El curso ha sido impartido por profesores de la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid adscritos, respectivamente, a los Departamentos "EXPRE-SIÓN GRAFICA APLICADA A LA EDIFICACIÓN", "MATEMÁTICAS APLICADAS A LA ARQUITECTURA TÉCNICA" y "TECNOLOGÍA DE LA EDIFICACIÓN". Cada uno de los tres Departamentos concretó inicialmente las asignaturas y los temarios a des-arrollar sí bien a lo largo del proceso las enseñanzas se produjeron algunas modificaciones para una mejor adaptación del curso a las necesidades reales de los alumnos. En la ponencia se analizarán los avances y descubrimientos de los profesores en sus respectivos campos y se presentarán las conclusiones obtenidas así como las posibles modificaciones para futuras ediciones de cursos similares.

Blood and urinary abnormalities induced during and after 24-hour continuous running: A case report

In this reported clinical case, a healthy and well-trained male subject [aged 37 years, maximal oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max) 64 mL·kg·min] ran for 23 hours and 35 minutes covering 160 km (6.7 km/h average running speed). The analysis of hematological and biochemical parameters 3 days before the event, just after termination of exercise, and after 24 and 48 hours of recovery revealed important changes on muscle and liver function, and hemolysis. The analysis of urine sediments showed an increment of red and white blood cells filtrations, compatible with transient nephritis. After 48 hours, most of these alterations were recovered. Physicians and health professionals who monitor such athletic events should be aware that these athletes could exhibit transient symptoms compatible with severe pathologies and diseases, although the genesis of these blood and urinary abnormalities are attributable to transient physiological adaptations rather to pathological status.

Toward a comprehensive care of HIV patients: Finding a strategy to detect depression in a Spanish HIV cohort

Depression is a common but frequently undiagnosed feature in individuals with HIV infection. To find a strategy to detect depression in a non-specialized clinical setting, the overall performance of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the depression identification questions proposed by the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) guidelines were assessed in a descriptive cross-sectional study of 113 patients with HIV infection. The clinician asked the two screening questions that were proposed under the EACS guidelines and requested patients to complete the HADS. A psychiatrist or psychologist administered semi-structured clinical interviews to yield psychiatric diagnoses of depression (gold standard). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for the HADS-Depression (HADS-D) subscale indicated that the best sensitivity and specificity were obtained between the cut-off points of 5 and 8, and the ROC curve for the HADS-Total (HADS-T) indicated that the best cut-off points were between 12 and 14. There were no statistically significant differences in the correlations of the EACS (considering positive responses to one [A] or both questions [B]), the HADS-D ≥ 8 or the HADS-T ≥ 12 with the gold standard. The study concludes that both approaches (the two EACS questions and the HADS-D subscale) are appropriate depression-screening methods in HIV population. We believe that using the EACS-B and the HADS-D subscale in a two-step approach allows for rapid, assumable and accurate clinical diagnosis in non-psychiatric hospital settings.

Xanthine oxidase pathway and muscle damage: Insights from McArdle disease

The intent of this review is to summarize current body of knowledge on the potential implication of the xanthine oxidase pathway (XO) on skeletal muscle damage. The possible involvement of the XO pathway in muscle damage is exemplified by the role of XO inhibitors (e.g., allopurinol) in attenuating muscle damage. Reliance on this pathway (as well as on the purine nucleotide cycle) could be exacerbated in conditions of low muscle glycogen availability. Thus, we also summarize current hypotheses on the etiology of both baseline and exertional muscle damage in McArdle disease, a condition caused by inherited deficiency of myophosphorylase. Because myophosphorylase catalyzes the first step of muscle glycogen breakdown, patients are unable to obtain energy from their muscle glycogen stores. Finally, we provide preliminary data from our laboratory on the potential implication of the XO pathway in the muscle damage that is commonly experienced by these patients.

Active paraplegics are protected against exercise-induced oxidative damage through the induction of antioxidant enzymes

Exercise improves functional capacity in spinal cord injury (SCI). However, exhaustive exercise, especially when sporadic, is linked to the production of reactive oxygen species that may have a detrimental effect on SCI. We aimed to study the effect of a single bout of exhaustive exercise on systemic oxidative stress parameters and on the expression of antioxidant enzymes in individuals with paraplegia. The study was conducted in the Physical Therapy department and the Physical Education and Sports department of the University of Valencia. Sixteen paraplegic subjects were submitted to a graded exercise test (GET) until volitional exhaustion. They were divided into active or non-active groups. Blood samples were drawn immediately, 1 and 2 h after the GET. We determined plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonylation as markers of oxidative damage. Antioxidant gene expression (catalase and glutathione peroxidase-GPx) was determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We found a significant increase in plasma MDA and protein carbonyls immediately after the GET (P<0.05). This increment correlated significantly with the lactate levels. Active paraplegics showed lower levels of exercise-induced oxidative damage (P<0.05) and higher exercise-induced catalase (P<0.01) and GPx (P<0.05) gene expression after the GET. These results suggest that exercise training may be useful in SCI patients to develop systemic antioxidant defenses that may protect them against exercise-induced oxidative damage.
