15-deoxyspergualin hinders physical interaction between basic residues of transit peptide in PfENR and Hsp70-1

The apicoplast of Plasmodium harbors several metabolic pathways. The enzymes required to perform these reactions are all nuclearly encoded and apicoplast targeted (NEAT) proteins. Plasmodium falciparum Enoyl-ACP Reductase (PfENR) is one such NEAT protein. The NEAT proteins have a transit peptide which is required for crossing the membranes of apicoplast. We studied the importance of basic residues like Arginine and Lysine within the transit peptide. Previous studies have suggested that all basic residues are essential for apicoplast trafficking. In this study, we demonstrate that only some of these residues are essential (K44, R48, K51, and R52), whereas others are dispensable (R40, K42, and K49). On mutating these specific residues, PfENR is not imported into the apicoplast and is mislocalized to the cytoplasm. We also demonstrate that these residues are also crucial for interaction with Hsp70-1, implying that interactions of Lysine 44, Arginine 48, Lysine 51, and Arginine 52 of the transit peptide with PfHsp70-1 are required for apicoplast trafficking. 15-Deoxyspergualin, which has earlier been proposed to interact with EEVD motif of PfHsp70-1 hinders the physical interaction between these cationic residues of PfENR and Hsp70-1. Hence, we propose that in the transport competent state of NEAT proteins some specific positively charged amino acids in the transit peptide interact with PfHsp70-1, and this interaction is essential for apicoplast targeting.

Efectos de la crisis económica europea en el panorama migratorio colombiano. Estudio de caso: migración laboral española en Colombia (2008-2013)

Actualmente, Colombia se encuentra inserta en dinámicas migratorias internacionales, no sólo como país expulsor de estos flujos, sino como destino y país de tránsito; la transformación que ha tenido el panorama migratorio colombiano es reciente y obedece a múltiples factores de carácter interno y externo. El fortalecimiento de la economía colombiana y la coyuntura de la crisis económica española han creado un ambiente propicio para la llegada de una migración laboral altamente calificada proveniente de España. Esta situación no sólo ha configurado al país por primera vez como un destino migratorio, sino ha puesto en evidencia la necesidad de una política migratoria eficaz y capaz de enfrentar los desafíos que impone la nueva realidad migratoria.

Short peptide alpha helices induced by multiple metal clips

Alpha helices are key structural components of proteins and important recognition motifs in biology. New techniques for stabilizing short peptide helices could be valuable for studying protein folding, modeling proteins, creating artificial proteins, and may aid the design of inhibitors or mimics of protein function. We previously reported* that 5-15 residue peptides, corresponding to the Zn-binding domain of thermolysin, react with [Pd(en)(ONO,),]in DMF-d’ and 90% H,O 10% DzO to form a 22-membered [Pd(en)(H*ELTH*)]2+ macrocycle that is helical in solution and acts as a template in nucleating helicity in both Cand N- terminal directions within the longer sequences in DMF. ~f~~&g7$$& d&qx~m ~. y AC&q& In water, however, there was less a-helicity observed, testifying to #..q,& &$--Lb &l-- &.$;,J~p?:~~q&~+~~ ’ w w the difficulty of fixing intramolecular amide NH...OC H-bonds in 6,“;;” ( k.$ U”C.a , p d$. competition with the H-bond donor solvent water. To expand the utility of [Pd(en)(H*XXXH*)]*+ as a helix- @r4”8 & oJ#:& &G& @-qd ,‘d@-gyp promoting module in solution, we now report the result that Ac- ‘$4: %$yyy + H*ELTH*H*VTDH*-NH,(l), AC-H*ELTH*AVTDYH*ELTH*- NH, (2) and AC-H*AAAH*H*ELTH*H*VTDH*-NH* (3) react with multiple equivalents of [Pd(en)(ONO,),] to produce exclusively 4-6 respectively in both DMF-d7 and water (90% Hz0 10% D,O). Mass spectrometry, 15N- and 2D ‘H- NMR spectroscopy, and CD spectra were used to characterise the structures 4-6, and their three dimensional structures were calculated from NOE restraints using simulated annealing protocols. Results demonstrate (a) selective coordination of metal ions at (i, i+4) histidine positions in water and DMF, (b) incorporation of 2 and 3 a turn-mimicking modules [Pd(en)(HELTH)]2+ in lo-15 residue peptides, and (c) facile conversion of unstructured peptides into 3- and 4- turn helices of macrocycles, with well defined a-helicity throughout and more structure in DMF than in water.

Congestión vehicular en Medellín: una posible solución desde la Economía

Según la teoría económica el mecanismo de precios es una herramienta adecuada para solucionar el problema de congestión vehicular. El objetivo de este artículo es diagnosticar el grado de congestión vehicular de la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia) y proponer alternativas que den solución a dicho problema desde la óptica de la teoría económica. A diferencia de otros estudios, esta investigación analizó la relación entre el gasto de las familias en transporte y la elección de transporte (público o privado) a través la metodología de elasticidades. Se encontró evidencia a favor de la hipótesis de los precios como mecanismos para desincentivar el uso del automóvil privado, pues a medida que aumenta el nivel de gasto en transporte (asociado a un supuesto peaje urbano), la probabilidad de usar transporte privado disminuye, mientras que la probabilidad de utilizar transporte público aumenta.
