Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cefazolin is one of curative treatments for infections due to methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Both growth and critical illness may impact the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. We aimed to build a population PK model for cefazolin in critically ill children in order to optimize individual dosing regimens. METHODS We included all children (age < 18 years, body weight (BW) > 2.5 kg) receiving cefazolin for MSSA infection. Cefazolin total plasma concentrations were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. A data modelling process was performed with the software MONOLIX. Monte Carlo simulations were used in order to attain the PK target of 100% fT > 4 ×MIC. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients with a median (range) age of 7 (0.1-17) years and a BW of 21 (2.8-79) kg were included. The PK was ascribed to a one-compartment model, where typical clearance and volume of distribution estimations were 1.4 L/h and 3.3 L respectively. BW, according to the allometric rules, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on clearance were the two influential covariates. Continuous infusion with a dosing of 100 mg/kg/day to increase to 150 mg/kg/day for children with a BW < 10 kg or eGFR >200 mL/min/1.73m2 were the best schemes to reach the PK target of 100% fT> 4 ×MIC. CONCLUSIONS In critically ill children infected with MSSA, continuous infusion seems to be the most appropriate scheme to reach the PK target of 100 % fT > 4 ×MIC in children with normal and augmented renal function.

Abstract
A new experimental platform based on laser-plasma interaction is proposed to explore the fundamental processes of wave coupling at the origin of interplanetary radio emissions. It is applied to the study of electromagnetic (EM) emission at twice the plasma frequency (2ω_{p}) observed during solar bursts and thought to result from the coalescence of two Langmuir waves (LWs). In the interplanetary medium, the first LW is excited by electron beams, while the second is generated by electrostatic decay of Langmuir waves. In the present experiment, instead of an electron beam, an energetic laser propagating through a plasma excites the primary LW, with characteristics close to those at near-Earth orbit. The EM radiation at 2ω_{p} is observed at different angles. Its intensity, spectral evolution, and polarization confirm the LW-coalescence scenario.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pediatricians are well aware of the immediate risks of bacterial meningitis in children. However, the long-term outcome of the disease has not been extensively studied. We aimed: (i) to evaluate the duration and quality of the long-term follow-up of children diagnosed with bacterial meningitis in a general pediatric department, (ii) to estimate the incidence of sequelae at the various stages of follow-up, and (iii) to compare our data with that of other studies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study and included 34 children (3 months-15 years) who had been hospitalized for bacterial meningitis in the pediatric department of a University Hospital between January 1st, 2001 and December 31st, 2013. RESULTS Overall, 32% of patients presented with sequelae and 15% with seizures. Only one patient presented with hearing loss, but 23.5% of patients did not have any hearing test performed. Seven patients had a neuropsychological assessment performed and no severe neuropsychological sequela was observed in this group. The average follow-up duration increased during the study period (from 23 to 49months). The long-term follow-up modalities observed in other studies were highly variable. Assessing the incidence and severity of sequelae was therefore difficult. CONCLUSION A standardized follow-up should be implemented by way of a national surveillance network of children presenting with bacterial meningitis.

The report titled "40 propositions pour adapter la protection de l'enfance et l'adoption aux réalités d'aujourd'hui" ("Forty proposals to adapt protection of children to the realities of today") was presented in February 2014 by the "Protection de l'enfance et adoption" working group to the Minister for Family Affairs within the framework of the preparation of the French family law. The medical field is an important link in the chain of child protection. Of the 40 proposals, particular attention was paid to the identification of children at risk and to improving the protection of newborns (shaken baby syndrome, unexpected infant death) and to adoption issues.

Abstract
Receptor agonism remains poorly understood at the molecular and mechanistic level. In this study, we identified a fully human anti-Fas antibody that could efficiently trigger apoptosis and therefore function as a potent agonist. Protein engineering and crystallography were used to mechanistically understand the agonistic activity of the antibody. The crystal structure of the complex was determined at 1.9 Å resolution and provided insights into epitope recognition and comparisons with the natural ligand FasL (Fas ligand). When we affinity-matured the agonist antibody, we observed that, surprisingly, the higher-affinity antibodies demonstrated a significant reduction, rather than an increase, in agonist activity at the Fas receptor. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a model to explain this non-intuitive impact of affinity on agonist antibody signalling and explore the implications for the discovery of therapeutic agonists in general.

Abstract
BackgroundWHO (2001) suggested that the population should get easier and faster access to services improvements in the management of mental disorders in primary health care. In this context, the Government of Quebec (Canada) published in 2005 a Mental Health Action Plan, based on an organization into a hierarchy and some hospitals began to reorganize their mental health services into patient focused care programs.Aims of the studyThe presentation will focus on the effects on outpatients (N = 290) who were receiving mental health services from two hospitals in Montreal.MethodsAs part of a broader study on mental health services and patient outcomes, mental health services’ patients from a psychiatric hospital and a general university hospital in Montreal, were recruited to complete the Basis24, Euroqol, SF12 and other scales. A standard recruitment protocol was followed. All incoming patients at the outpatient clinics/programs during a typical week were considered eligible. This procedure was done before the reorganization of services, in 2006 (T1), and after the reorganization of services (T2; 2 years later), in 2008. We used T-test to assess the difference of a six-month evolution between the two-time measures.ResultsRespectively, 1057 (T1) and 557 (T2) participated to the project. Generally patients showed no significative differences between the two times in their symptoms, functioning and QOL. Only some marginal aspects changes in one site or another.ConclusionPatients were not very disturbed by changes and the new program were not fully implemented two years after T1.

Abstract
We show that observed spatial- and frequency-domain signatures of intense solar-wind Langmuir waves can be described as eigenmodes trapped in a parabolic density well. Measured solar-wind electric field spectra and waveforms are compared with 1D linear solutions and, in many cases, can be represented by 1-3 low-order eigenstates. To our knowledge, this report is the first observational confirmation of Langmuir eigenmodes in space. These results suggest that linear eigenmodes may be the starting point of the nonlinear evolution, critical for producing solar type II and type III radio bursts.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a key event in tumor progression and metastasis. This complex process, which constitutes a potent target for cancer therapy, is inhibited by very low concentrations of microtubule-targeting drugs (MTD). However, the intimate mechanisms of the antiangiogenic activity of MTDs remain unclear. Recently, we have shown that low antiangiogenic and noncytotoxic concentrations of paclitaxel induced an unexpected increase in microtubule dynamics in endothelial cells. In this study, we showed that vinflunine, the newest Vinca alkaloid, increased microtubule dynamic instability in human endothelial cells after 4-hour incubation at low concentrations (29% and 54% at 0.1 and 2 nmol/L). The growth and shortening rates were increased, and the percentage of time spent in pause and the mean duration of pauses were decreased, as previously observed with paclitaxel. As opposed to paclitaxel, the transition frequencies were not significantly disturbed by vinflunine. Moreover, low concentrations of vinflunine did not affect mitotic index and anaphase/metaphase ratio. Interestingly, these low vinflunine concentrations that increased microtubule dynamics exhibited an antiangiogenic effect through the inhibition of both morphogenesis and random motility. Capillary tube formation on Matrigel was decreased up to 44%. The cell speed and the random motility coefficient were decreased (13% and 19% and 13% and 33% at 0.1 and 2 nmol/L, respectively) and the persistent time was statistically increased. Altogether, our results confirm that the increase in microtubule dynamics is involved in MTD antiangiogenic activity and highlight the crucial role of interphase microtubule dynamics in angiogenesis.

Abstract
Microtubule-targeted drugs such as paclitaxel exhibit potent antiangiogenic activity at very low concentrations, but the mechanism underlying such an effect remains unknown. To understand the involvement of microtubules in angiogenesis, we analyzed the dynamic instability behavior of microtubules in living endothelial cells [human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC)] following 4 hours of paclitaxel treatment. Unexpectedly, antiangiogenic concentrations of paclitaxel (0.1-5 nmol/L) strongly increased microtubule overall dynamicity in both HMEC-1 (86-193%) and HUVEC (54-83%). This increase was associated with increased microtubule growth and shortening rates and extents and decreased mean duration of pauses. The enhancement of microtubule dynamics by paclitaxel seemed to be specific to antiangiogenic concentrations and to endothelial cells. Indeed, cytotoxic concentration (100 nmol/L) of paclitaxel suppressed microtubule dynamics by 40% and 54% in HMEC-1 and HUVECs, respectively, as observed for all tested concentrations in A549 tumor cells. After 4 hours of drug incubation, antiangiogenic concentrations of paclitaxel that inhibited endothelial cell proliferation without apoptosis (1-5 nmol/L) induced a slight decrease in anaphase/metaphase ratio, which was more pronounced and associated with increased mitotic index after 24 hours of incubation. Interestingly, the in vitro antiangiogenic effect also occurred at 0.1 nmol/L paclitaxel, a concentration that did not alter mitotic progression and endothelial cell proliferation but was sufficient to increase interphase microtubule dynamics. Altogether, our results show that paclitaxel mediates antiangiogenesis by an increase in microtubule dynamics in living endothelial cells and suggest that the impairment of interphase microtubule functions is responsible for the inhibition of angiogenesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Angiogenesis is a critical event in tumor growth and metastasis, which can be inhibited by conventional anticancer drugs such as the microtubule-damaging agent paclitaxel (Taxol). In this study, we investigate the mechanism of action of paclitaxel on human endothelial cells. We characterize two distinct effects of paclitaxel on human umbilical vein endothelial cell and human microvascular endothelial cell-1 proliferation according to drug concentration: a cytostatic effect at low concentrations and a cytotoxic effect at concentrations 10 nmol/L. The cytotoxic effect involves signaling pathways similar to those described in tumor cells (i.e., microtubule network disturbance, G2-M arrest, increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and mitochondria permeabilization) that result in apoptosis. In sharp contrast, the cytostatic effect involves an inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation without apoptosis induction and without any structural modification of the microtubule network. This cytostatic effect is due to a slowing of the cell cycle rather than to an arrest in a specific phase of the cell cycle. In addition, paclitaxel, at cytostatic concentrations, early initiates an apoptotic signaling pathway associated with increases in the mitochondrial reducing potential, mitochondrial membrane potential, p53 expression, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. However, this apoptotic pathway is stopped upstream of mitochondria permeabilization and it does not lead to endothelial cell death. Finally, we found that paclitaxel inhibits endothelial cell morphogenesis on Matrigel at all tested concentrations. In conclusion, we describe the mechanism of action of low concentrations of paclitaxel related to the antiangiogenic properties of this drug.

Abstract
A431 cells escape EGF-induced apoptosis by forming cell aggregates. We show that these clusters migrate and merge with neighboring ones, resulting in larger structures composed of a multilayer central (3D) population surrounded by a cell monolayer (2D). We found that after 48 hr of 10 nM EGF treatment, 3D structure formation correlates with alpha2beta1 integrin upregulation. Blockade of alpha2 integrin impairs 3D structure formation. We studied the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this process. We show that A431 cells express the NADPH oxidase catalytic subunits Nox1. EGF-induced dose-dependent ROS production was inhibited by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor, diphenylene iodonium (DPI), in these cells while rotenone was ineffective. Inhibition of ROS level in A431 cells with DPI or ebselen (glutathione peroxydase mimic) as well as P38 MAP kinase inhibition by SB203580 decreases alpha2 integrin subunit expression and induces a shift to 3D versus 2D populations. Cell cycle analysis of 2D cells shows that DPI, ebselen and SB203580 decrease the number of cells in S/G2 phase without affecting the cell number in mitosis phase. On the contrary, for 3D cells, these treatments increased the proportion of cells in mitosis without modification of the cell number in S/G2 phase. For both populations, apoptosis was increased by DPI and ebselen. Resistance of cell aggregates by paclitaxel to cell death is usually described. We show that DPI abolishes paclitaxel resistance of 3D cell aggregates. We observed a greater than additive effect between paclitaxel and DPI resulting in an increased proportion of cells in S/G2 phase for 3D populations. These results suggested that the ROS-P38 MAP kinase-alpha2beta1 integrin pathway was implicated in the A431 survival process by modulating the balance between 2D/3D cells.

Abstract
Discodermolide is a new microtubule-targeted antimitotic drug in Phase I clinical trials that, like paclitaxel, stabilizes microtubule dynamics and enhances microtubule polymer mass in vitro and in cells. Despite their apparently similar binding sites on microtubules, discodermolide acts synergistically with paclitaxel to inhibit proliferation of A549 human lung cancer cells (L. Martello et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 6: 1978-1987, 2000). To understand their synergy, we examined the effects of the two drugs singly and in combination in A549 cells and found that, surprisingly, their antiproliferative synergy is related to their ability to synergistically inhibit microtubule dynamic instability and mitosis. The combination of discodermolide and paclitaxel at their antiproliferative IC(50)s (7 nm for discodermolide and 2 nm for paclitaxel) altered all of the parameters of dynamic instability synergistically except the time-based rescue frequency. For example, together the drugs inhibited overall microtubule dynamicity by 71%, but each drug individually inhibited dynamicity by only 24%, giving a combination index (CI) of 0.23. Discodermolide and paclitaxel also synergistically blocked cell cycle progression at G(2)-M (41, 9.6, and 16% for both drugs together, for discodermolide alone, and for paclitaxel alone, respectively; CI = 0.59), and they synergistically enhanced apoptosis (CI = 0.85). Microtubules are unique receptors for drugs. The results suggest that ligands that bind to large numbers of binding sites on an individual microtubule can interact in a poorly understood manner to synergistically suppress microtubule dynamic instability and inhibit both mitosis and cell proliferation, with important consequences for combination clinical therapy with microtubule-targeted drugs.

Abstract
Paclitaxel and docetaxel are potent anti-microtubule and antimitotic agents that induce apoptosis in bone marrow-derived cells and epithelial cells. This study examined apoptosis induced by anti-microtubule agents in the neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cell line with a special focus on tau protein which is one of the main Microtubule-Associated- Proteins (MAPs) in neuronal cells. In time, treatment with 1 microM paclitaxel successively induced formation of bundles, then pseudo-asters concomitantly with mitotic block and phosphorylation of bcl-2 (48 h), then phosphorylation of tau and externalization of phosphatidylserine at the early phase of apoptosis (72 h) and finally DNA fragmentation (96 h). Similar results were obtained with 0.5 microM vinorelbine. Paclitaxel induced a lower increase in tau phosphorylation in differentiated SK-N-SH/RA+ cells which are less sensitive to apoptosis. Moreover, doxorubicin whose mechanism of action is independent of microtubules also induced immunostaining of tau at 72 h treatment. In conclusion, our results on neuroblastoma cells show that overexpression of hyperphosphorylated tau is involved in the apoptotic process induced by anti-microtubule agents and may be extended to others cytostatic drugs. Thus, tau protein may play a role in the cellular events observed in neuroblastoma cells undergoing apoptosis.

Abstract
Discodermolide is a new microtubule-targeted drug in Phase I clinical trials that inhibits tumor growth and induces G(2)-M cell cycle arrest. It is effective against paclitaxel-resistant cell lines and acts synergistically in combination with paclitaxel. Suppression of microtubule dynamics by microtubule-targeted drugs has been hypothesized to be responsible for their ability to inhibit mitotic progression and cell proliferation. To determine whether discodermolide blocks mitosis by an effect on microtubule dynamics, we analyzed the effects of discodermolide on microtubule dynamics in living A549 human lung cancer cells during interphase at concentrations that block mitosis and inhibit cell proliferation. We found that discodermolide (7-166 nM) significantly suppressed microtubule dynamic instability. At the IC(50) for proliferation (7 nM discodermolide, 72 h), overall dynamicity was reduced by 23%. The principal parameters of dynamic instability suppressed by discodermolide were the microtubule shortening rate and length shortened. In addition, discodermolide markedly increased the frequency of rescued catastrophes. At the discodermolide concentration that resulted in 50% of maximal mitotic block (83 nM, 20 h), most microtubules were completely non-dynamic, no anaphases occurred, and all spindles were abnormal. The dynamicity of the remaining dynamic microtubules was reduced by 62%. The results indicate that a principal mechanism of inhibition of cell proliferation and mitotic block by discodermolide is suppression of microtubule dynamics. Importantly, the results indicate significant additional stabilizing effects of discodermolide on microtubule dynamics as compared with those of paclitaxel that may in turn reflect differences in their binding sites and their effects on tubulin conformation.

Abstract
HasA(SM) secreted by the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens belongs to the hemophore family. Its role is to take up heme from host heme carriers and to shuttle it to specific receptors. Heme is linked to the HasA(SM) protein by an unusual axial ligand pair: His32 and Tyr75. The nucleophilic nature of the tyrosine is enhanced by the hydrogen bonding of the tyrosinate to a neighboring histidine in the binding site: His83. We used isothermal titration microcalorimetry to examine the thermodynamics of heme binding to HasA(SM) and showed that binding is strongly exothermic and enthalpy driven: DeltaH = -105.4 kJ x mol(-1) and TDeltaS = -44.3 kJ x mol(-1). We used displacement experiments to determine the affinity constant of HasA(SM) for heme (K(a) = 5.3 x 10(10) M(-1)). This is the first time that this has been reported for a hemophore. We also analyzed the thermodynamics of the interaction between heme and a panel of single, double, and triple mutants of the two axial ligands His32 and Tyr75 and of His83 to assess the implication of each of these three residues in heme binding. We demonstrated that, in contrast to His32, His83 is essential for the binding of heme to HasA(SM), even though it is not directly coordinated to iron, and that the Tyr75/His83 pair plays a key role in the interaction.

Abstract
The effect of neurosteroids is mediated through their membrane or nuclear receptors. However, no dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-specific receptors have been evidenced so far in the brain. In this paper, we showed by isothermal titration calorimetry that the DHEA specifically binds to the dendritic brain microtubule-associated protein MAP2C with an association constant of 2.7 x 10(7) m-1 and at a molar ratio of 1:1. By partial tryptic digestions and mass spectrometry analysis, we found that the binding involved the N-terminal region of MAP2C. Interestingly, MAP2C displays homologies with 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, an enzyme required for estrogen synthesis. Based on these sequence homologies and on the x-ray structure of the DHEA-binding pocket of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, we modeled the complex of DHEA with MAP2C. The binding of DHEA to MAP2C involved specific hydrogen bonds that orient the steroid into the pocket. This work suggests that DHEA can directly influence brain plasticity via MAP2C binding. It opens interesting ways for understanding the role of DHEA in the brain.

Abstract
Pretreatment of HT29-D4 epithelial adenocarcinoma colic cells with des-IGF-1 upregulated TNF alpha-mediated activation of IL-8 expression at different levels (protein, mRNA, and hnRNA). RNA transcription but not RNA stabilization was found to be involved. In this cell line, cooperation of NF-kappa B with other factors appeared essential for IL-8 expression. Indeed, TNF alpha-induced NF-kappa B translocation was not sufficient to support enhancement of the transcription and des-IGF-1 did not promote but partly inhibited both the TNF alpha-induced NF-kappa B activation and I kappa B alpha degradation through a PI-3K-dependent pathway. A CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) site located on the IL-8 gene enhancer cooperated with a NF-kappa B binding site and led to the upregulation of IL-8 expression. Binding of C/EBP alpha to this sequence disappeared in IGF-1 treated cells. This event may be important for the cross-talk between IGF-1- and TNF alpha-mediated pathways leading to the control of inflammatory processes and the decision concerning apoptosis or cell survival.

Abstract
In this work, we report that type IV collagen, mainly via alpha2beta1-integrin ligation, was able to induce cyclin expression and G1/S transition in a colic adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2) cultured without soluble growth factors or fetal bovine serum. This process involved Erk 1/2 activation and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase. Data presented here show that NADPH oxidase-dependent production of ROS increased following alpha2beta1-integrin ligation with type IV collagen or with a specific monoclonal antibody (Gi9 mAb). NADPH oxidase activation and, therefore, the production of ROS were shown to be involved in the increase of alpha2beta1-integrin plasma membrane expression, p38 MAPK phosphorylation, cyclin expression, and G1/S transition. We thus identified in this work a new integrin-signaling pathway in colon tumor cells involved in cell cycle regulation by the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
We previously reported that paclitaxel acted directly on mitochondria isolated from human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. Here, we demonstrate that the direct mitochondrial effect of paclitaxel observed in vitro is relevant in intact SK-N-SH cells. After a 2 h incubation with 1 microM paclitaxel, the mitochondria were less condensed. Paclitaxel (1 microM, 1-4 h) also induced a 20% increase in respiration rate and a caspase-independent production of reactive oxygen species by mitochondria. The paclitaxel-induced release of cytochrome c was detected only after 24 h of incubation, was caspase-independent and permeability transition pore-dependent. Thus, paclitaxel targets mitochondria upstream of caspase activation, early during the apoptotic process in intact human neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
Calmodulin is the most ubiquitous calcium binding protein. The protein is very sensitive to oxidation and this modification has pronounced effects on calmodulin function. In this work, we decided to fully oxidise calmodulin in order to study the consequences on cation binding, domain stability, and alpha helicity. Oxidation of methionines unfolds completely the apostate of the protein, which upon calcium binding recovers the major part of its secondary and tertiary structure. However, the unstructuring of the apostate results in a protein that binds calcium to any site in an independent manner, does not bind magnesium and does not possess auxiliary sites anymore.

Abstract
We have previously reported that anti-tubulin agents induce the release of cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria. In this study, we show that tubulin is present in mitochondria isolated from different human cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines. The absence of polymerized microtubules and cytosolic proteins was checked to ensure that this tubulin is an inherent component of the mitochondria. In addition, a salt wash did not release the tubulin from the mitochondria. By using electron microscopy, we then showed that tubulin is localized in the mitochondrial membranes. As compared with cellular tubulin, mitochondrial tubulin is enriched in acetylated and tyrosinated alpha-tubulin and is also enriched in the class III beta-tubulin isotype but contains very little of the class IV beta-tubulin isotype. The mitochondrial tubulin is likely to be organized in alpha/beta dimers and represents 2.2 +/- 0.5% of total cellular tubulin. Lastly, we showed by immunoprecipitation experiments that the mitochondrial tubulin is specifically associated with the voltage-dependent anion channel, the main component of the permeability transition pore. Thus, tubulin is an inherent component of mitochondrial membranes, and it could play a role in apoptosis via interaction with the permeability transition pore.

Abstract
Tau phosphorylation plays a crucial role in microtubule stabilization and in Alzheimer's disease. To characterize the molecular mechanisms of tau binding on microtubules, we synthesized the peptide R1 (QTAPVPMPDLKNVKSKIGSTENLKHQPGGGKVQI), reproducing the first tau microtubule binding motif. We thermodynamically characterized the molecular mechanism of tubulin assembly with R1 in vitro, and measured, for the first time, the binding parameters of R1 on both growing and taxol-stabilized microtubules. In addition, we obtained similar binding parameters with R1 phosphorylated on Ser262. These data suggest that the consequences of Ser262 phosphorylation on tau binding to microtubules and on tubulin assembly are due to large intramolecular rearrangements of the tau protein.

Abstract
DNA gyrase is a major bacterial protein that is involved in replication and transcription and catalyzes the negative supercoiling of bacterial circular DNA. DNA gyrase is a known target for antibacterial agents since its blocking induces bacterial death. Quinolones, coumarins, and cyclothialidines have been designed to inhibit gyrase. Significant improvements can still be envisioned for a better coumarin-gyrase interaction. In this work, we obtained the crystal costructures of the natural coumarin clorobiocin and a synthetic analogue with the 24 kDa gyrase fragment. We used isothermal titration microcalorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry to obtain the thermodynamic parameters representative of the molecular interactions occurring during the binding process between coumarins and the 24 kDa gyrase fragment. We provide the first experimental evidence that clorobiocin binds gyrase with a stronger affinity than novobiocin. We also demonstrate the crucial role of both the hydroxybenzoate isopentenyl moiety and the 5'-alkyl group on the noviose of the coumarins in the binding affinity for gyrase.

Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) at low concentrations (1-10 microM) is effective in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and lymphoma and is in clinical trials for treatment of solid tumors. Paclitaxel, an antimicrotubule agent, is highly efficacious in the treatment of adult tumors and is in clinical evaluation in childhood tumors. This study is the first to investigate the combination of arsenic and paclitaxel in the range of clinically achievable concentrations. We found that the simultaneous combination was antagonistic on proliferation of the neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cell line by using the combination index (CI) method. Moreover, a 40+/-5% decrease in paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in cells co-treated with As(2)O(3) confirmed the antagonism. The mechanism of antagonism was studied at the cellular level with 200 nM paclitaxel, twice the IC(50) value, and with 1 microM As(2)O(3) which administered singly did not affect cell survival or the microtubule network. As(2)O(3) antagonized the effects of paclitaxel on tubulin and microtubules. Paclitaxel-induced mitotic block was decreased by 20+/-2% and bundles induced by 200 nM paclitaxel were less condensed in the presence of 1 microM As(2)O(3). As(2)O(3) (10-200 microM) induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of tubulin polymerization in vitro which was maintained in presence of paclitaxel. Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric measurements indicated an interaction of As(2)O(3) with tubulin SH groups, without modification of the stoichiometry of paclitaxel binding to tubulin. Moreover, 4 microM As(2)O(3) inhibited the release of cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria by 78+/-10%. Our results show that As(2)O(3) and paclitaxel act antagonistically on mitochondria and microtubules and illustrate the need for careful evaluation of drug combinations.

Abstract
The presence of a nucleotide binding site on hsp90 was very controversial until x-ray structure of the hsp90 N-terminal domain, showing a nonconventional nucleotide binding site, appeared. A recent study suggested that the hsp90 C-terminal domain also binds ATP (Marcu, M. G., Chadli, A., Bouhouche, I., Catelli, M. G., and Neckers, L. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 37181-37186). In this paper, the interactions of ATP with native hsp90 and its recombinant N-terminal (positions 1-221) and C-terminal (positions 446-728) domains were studied by isothermal titration calorimetry, scanning differential calorimetry, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Results clearly demonstrate that hsp90 possesses a second ATP-binding site located on the C-terminal part of the protein. The association constant between this domain of hsp90 and ATP-Mg and a comparison with the binding constant on the full-length protein are reported for the first time. Secondary structure prediction revealed motifs compatible with a Rossmann fold in the C-terminal part of hsp90. It is proposed that this potential Rossmann fold may constitute the C-terminal ATP-binding site. This work also suggests allosteric interaction between N- and C-terminal domains of hsp90.

Abstract
Oxidation of methionine residues to methionine sulfoxide can lead to inactivation of proteins. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (MsrA) has been known for a long time, and its repairing function well characterized. Here we identify a new methionine sulfoxide reductase, which we referred to as MsrB, the gene of which is present in genomes of eubacteria, archaebacteria, and eucaryotes. The msrA and msrB genes exhibit no sequence similarity and, in some genomes, are fused. The Escherichia coli MsrB protein (currently predicted to be encoded by an open reading frame of unknown function named yeaA) was used for genetic, enzymatic, and mass spectrometric investigations. Our in vivo study revealed that msrB is required for cadmium resistance of E. coli, a carcinogenic compound that induces oxidative stress. Our in vitro studies, showed that (i) MsrB and MsrA enzymes reduce free methionine sulfoxide with turn-over rates of 0.6 min(-1) and 20 min(-1), respectively, (ii) MsrA and MsrB act on oxidized calmodulin, each by repairing four to six of the eight methionine sulfoxide residues initially present, and (iii) simultaneous action of both MsrA and MsrB allowed full reduction of oxidized calmodulin. A possibility is that these two ubiquitous methionine sulfoxide reductases exhibit different substrate specificity.

Abstract
Caulerpenyne, the major secondary metabolite synthesized by the green marine alga Caulerpa taxifolia, is cytotoxic against several cell lines. To identify possible targets of this toxin, we investigated the effect of caulerpenyne on the neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cell line. Caulerpenyne induced an inhibition of SK-N-SH cell proliferation with an IC50 of 10 +/- 2 microM after 2 hr of incubation. We observed no blockage in G2/M phase and an increase in cell death. On immunofluorescence microscopy, caulerpenyne affected the microtubule network in SK-N-SH cell line; we observed a loss of neurites and a compaction of the microtubule network at the cell periphery. In vitro, after 35 min of incubation, caulerpenyne inhibited the polymerization of pig brain purified tubulin or microtubule proteins, with an IC50 of 21 +/- 2 microM and 51 +/- 6 microM respectively. Analysis by electron microscopy indicated that caulerpenyne induced aggregation of tubulin, which may be responsible for inhibition of microtubule polymerization and bundling of residual microtubules.

Abstract
Both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the extracellular matrix components have been implicated in the pathobiology of adenocarcinomas by somewhat poorly understood mechanisms. We have addressed this problem using an in vitro model comprising the colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29-D4, wherein the role of EGF and type IV collagen on cell adhesion was examined. We demonstrated that the effect of EGF on HT29-D4 cell adhesion was regulated by type IV collagen in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The incorporation of a panel of monoclonal antibodies to integrins alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1 and alpha3beta1 in adhesion medium revealed that EGF-mediated increase in the cell adhesion was mediated essentially by alpha2beta1, and the use of flow cytometry led us to conclude that this EGF effect was mediated by an increase in alpha2beta1 activation and not by an increase in cell surface expression of integrin. An indirect immunofluorescence technique was employed to demonstrate that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and alpha2beta1 integrin were present in focal complexes in large EGF-induced lamellipodia whereas actin cytoskeleton was organised in small tips that colocalised with FAK. This pattern was observed at early time points (15 min) with a strong FAK tyrosine phosphorylation and with an increase in mitogen-activated protein kinase activity (5-15 min) as measured by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. We conclude that at early time points of cell adhesion and spreading, EGF exerted an inside-out regulation of alpha2beta1 integrin in HT29-D4 cells. This regulation seemed to be mediated by EGF-dependent FAK phosphorylation entailing an increase in integrin activation and their recruitment in numerous focal complexes. Furthermore after activation, FAK induced aggregation of actin-associated proteins (paxillin, vinculin and other tyrosine phosphorylated proteins) in focal complexes, leading to organisation of actin cytoskeleton that is involved in lamellipodia formation. Finally, activated alpha2beta1 integrins intervened in all these processes clustered in small focal complexes but not in focal adhesions.

Abstract
Microtubule dynamics are crucial for mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome movement. Suppression of dynamics by Taxol appears responsible for the drug's potent ability to inhibit mitosis and cell proliferation. Although Taxol is an important chemotherapeutic agent, development of resistance limits its efficacy. To examine the role of microtubule dynamics in Taxol resistance, we measured the dynamic instability of individual rhodamine-labeled microtubules in Taxol-sensitive and -resistant living human cancer cells. Taxol-resistant A549-T12 and -T24 cell lines were selected from a human lung carcinoma cell line, A549. They are, respectively, 9- and 17-fold resistant to Taxol and require low concentrations of Taxol for proliferation. We found that microtubule dynamic instability was significantly increased in the Taxol-resistant cells. For example, with A549-T12 cells in the absence of added Taxol, microtubule dynamicity increased 57% as compared with A549 cells. The length and rate of shortening excursions increased 75 and 59%, respectively. These parameters were further increased in A549-T24 cells, with overall dynamicity increasing by 167% compared with parental cells. Thus, the decreased Taxol-sensitivity of these cells can be explained by their increased microtubule dynamics. When grown without Taxol, A549-T12 cells were blocked at the metaphase/anaphase transition and displayed abnormal mitotic spindles with uncongressed chromosomes. In the presence of 2-12 nM Taxol, the cells grew normally, suggesting that mitotic block resulted from excessive microtubule dynamics. These results indicate that microtubule dynamics play an important role in Taxol resistance, and that both excessively rapid dynamics and suppressed dynamics impair mitotic spindle function and inhibit proliferation.

Abstract
The protease inhibitor neuroserpin regulates the development of the nervous system and its plasticity in the adult. Neuroserpins carrying the Ser53Pro or Ser56Arg mutation form polymers in neuronal cells. We describe here the structure of wild-type neuroserpin in a cleaved form. The structure provides a basis to understand the role of the mutations in the polymerization process. We propose that these mutations could delay the insertion of the reactive center loop into the central beta-sheet A, an essential step in the inhibition and possibly in the polymerization of neuroserpin.

Abstract
We showed previously that microtubule disassembly by vinblastine induces the proto-oncogene c-myc in epithelial mammary HBL100 cells. In this study, we demonstrate that vinblastine treatment in these cells, in contrast to what was observed with the colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29-D4, activated the transcription factor NFkappaB, which has been involved in c-myc regulation. The microtubule disassembly also induced IkappaB degradation. Using transient transfection analysis, we show that the trans-activation of c-myc by vinblastine was decreased when NFkappaB binding sites on c-myc promoter were mutated. Additionally, we demonstrate that microtubule dissolution trans-activated a thymidine kinase-CAT construct containing an NFkappaB binding site at -1180 to -1080 bp relative to the P1 promoter. Thus, vinblastine up-regulates the enhancer activity of the NFkappaB binding site. These results suggest that microtubule disassembly induced by vinblastine can trans-activate the c-myc oncogene through NFkappaB. Taking into consideration the paradoxical roles of both c-myc and NFkappaB in proliferation or apoptosis, this data reveals the complex action mechanism of this microtubule interfering agent.

Abstract
HSP90 is one of the most abundant proteins in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. HSP90 forms transient or stable complexes with several key proteins involved in signal transduction including protooncogenic protein kinases and nuclear receptors, it interacts with cellular structural elements such as actin-microfilament, tubulin-microtubule and intermediate filaments, and also exhibits conventional chaperone functions. This protein exists in two isoforms alpha-HSP90 and beta-HSP90, and it forms dimers which are crucial species for its biological activity. PAGE, ESI-MS and MALDI-MS were used to study HSP90 purified from pig brain. The two protein isoforms were clearly distinguished by ESI-MS, the alpha isoform being approximately six times more abundant than the beta isoform. ESI-MS in combination with lambda phosphatase treatment provided direct evidence of the existence of four phosphorylated forms of native pig brain alpha-HSP90, with the diphosphorylated form being the most abundant. For the beta isoform, the di-phosphorylated was also the most abundant. MALDI mass spectra of HSP90 samples after chemical cross-linking showed a high percentage of alpha-alpha homodimers. In addition, evidence for the existence of higher HSP90 oligomers was obtained.

Abstract
Phosphorylated tau protein is the major component of paired helical filaments in Alzheimer disease (AD). We have previously shown that abnormal tau phosphorylation was induced in neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells by the anticancer drug, paclitaxel, during apoptosis [Guise et al., 1999: Apoptosis 4:47-58]. In the present study, we first demonstrated a shift from fetal tau to hyperphosphorylated tau after incubation with paclitaxel, that showed some similarities with the hyperphosphorylated tau in AD, by using several tau antibodies, N-Term, Tau-1 and AT-8. Tau phosphorylation occurred independently of caspase-3 activation. We next showed that a sustained activation of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) induced both tau phosphorylation and apoptosis during paclitaxel treatment (1 microM). The inhibition of ERK activation by using the pharmacological MEK1/2 inhibitor, PD98059 (50 microM), or an antisense strategy, reduced tau phosphorylation and neuronal apoptosis (P < 0.001), indicating a link between ERK activation, tau phosphorylation and apoptosis. Doxorubicin (0.2 microM), an anticancer drug whose mechanism of action is independent of microtubules, also induced ERK activation, tau phosphorylation and apoptosis. Moreover, doxorubicin induced some morphological features of neurodegeneration such as loss of neurites and disorganization of the cytoskeleton in apoptotic neuroblastoma cells. Altogether, our results suggest that tau phosphorylation plays a significant role in apoptosis enhancing disruption of microtubules that in turn leads to formation of apoptotic bodies, suggesting that neurodegeneration and apoptosis are related.

Abstract
The final sigma 54 factor has been previously described to be involved in Listeria monocytogenes sensitivity to mesentericin Y105, a subclass IIa bacteriocin. Here, we identified the rpoN gene, encoding final sigma 54, of Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 and showed that its interruption leads to E. faecalis resistance to different subclass IIa bacteriocins. Moreover, this rpoN mutant remained sensitive to nisin, a class I bacteriocin, suggesting that final sigma 54 is especially involved in sensitivity to subclass IIa bacteriocins.

Abstract
Antimicrotubule agent-induced apoptosis was examined in the proliferating human colon cancer cell line HT29-D4. G2/M arrest and subsequent apoptosis were dose-dependent, both observed with 100 nM paclitaxel or docetaxel and 10 nM vinorelbine. Bcl-x(L) phosphorylation was observed simultaneously with mitotic block, then caspase-3 cleavage and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase degradation were detected 48 hr later. By using both enzymatic assay and immunoblot detection of cleaved fragments, we showed that caspase-8, a central component of the CD95-induced apoptotic pathway, was significantly activated during paclitaxel exposure, contemporary to apoptosis occurrence. Caspase-8 activation and apoptosis were independent of CD95 ligation and evidenced only for concentrations inducing Bcl-x(L) phosphorylation and a decrease in mitochondria permeability. Similar results were obtained with docetaxel and vinca alkaloids. Thus, antimitotic drugs may induce apoptosis via caspase-8 activation independently of CD95/CD95-L. Caspase-8 may be a common mediator of anticancer drug-induced apoptosis that could represent a promising target for future therapies.

Abstract
Paclitaxel is an antimicrotubule agent that induces mitotic block and apoptosis. We show for the first time that paclitaxel acts directly or mitochondria isolated from human cancer cells. In isolated yeast mito chondria, paclitaxel (15 microM) induced an 18% increase in the respiration rate, with no concomitant release of cytochrome c. In isolated neuroblas toma mitochondria, paclitaxel (10-100 microM) induced a 27-72% release o cytochrome c. Release was prevented by cyclosporin A, suggesting the involvement of the permeability transition pore. Doxorubicin did no induce cytochrome c release, whereas vinorelbine, another antimicrotu bule agent, did. Thus, antimicrotubule agents can directly affect mito chondria to induce apoptosis.

Abstract
We investigated in a colon adenocarcinoma cell line, the exclusive role of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the absence of soluble factors regarding the integrin clustering processes, and their implication in cell adhesion, spreading and organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Caco-2 cells were shown to express at the plasma membrane 11 integrins, some of which (e.g. alpha3beta1, alpha5beta1, alpha6beta1/beta4, alpha8beta1 and alpha(v)beta1/beta5/beta6) were identified for the first time in this cell line. Cell adhesion and spreading processes were governed essentially by lamellipodium, the regulation of which was shown to be induced by two types of integrin clustering processes mediated by ECM proteins alone. During these phenomena, alpha2beta1, alpha(v)beta6 and alpha6beta1 integrins, the Caco-2 cell specific receptors of type IV collagen, fibronectin and laminin, respectively, were clustered in small focal complexes (point contacts), whereas alpha(v)beta5, the vitronectin receptor in this cell line, was aggregated in focal adhesions. The two levels of integrin clustering induced only F-actin cortical web formation organized in thin radial and/or circular filaments. We conclude thus that ECM components per se through their action on integrin clustering are involved in cell adhesion, cortical actin cytoskeleton organization and cell spreading.

Abstract
The crystal structures of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) from Thermus thermophilus, a prokaryotic class IIb enzyme, complexed with tRNA(Asp) from either T. thermophilus or Escherichia coli reveal a potential intermediate of the recognition process. The tRNA is positioned on the enzyme such that it cannot be aminoacylated but adopts an overall conformation similar to that observed in active complexes. While the anticodon loop binds to the N-terminal domain of the enzyme in a manner similar to that of the related active complexes, its aminoacyl acceptor arm remains at the entrance of the active site, stabilized in its intermediate conformational state by non-specific interactions with the insertion and catalytic domains. The thermophilic nature of the enzyme, which manifests itself in a very low kinetic efficiency at 17 degrees C, the temperature at which the crystals were grown, is in agreement with the relative stability of this non-productive conformational state. Based on these data, a pathway for tRNA binding and recognition is proposed.
