Abstract
The intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery plays a crucial role in the bidirectional trafficking of components necessary for ciliary signaling, such as the Hedgehog, Wnt/PCR, and cAMP/PKA systems. Defects in some components of the IFT machinery cause dysfunction, leading to a wide range of human diseases and developmental disorders termed ciliopathies, such as nephronophthisis. The IFT machinery comprises three sub-complexes: BBsome, IFT-A, and IFT-B. The IFT protein 54 (IFT54) is an important component of the IFT-B sub-complex. In anterograde movement, IFT54 binds to active kinesin-II, walking along the cilia microtubule axoneme and carrying the dynein-2 complex in an inactive state, which works for retrograde movement. Several mutations in IFT54 are known to cause Senior-Loken syndrome, a ciliopathy. IFT54 possesses a divergent Calponin Homology (CH) domain termed as NN-CH domain at its N-terminus. However, several aspects of the function of the NN-CH domain of IFT54 are still obscure. Here, we report the 1H, 15N, and 13C resonance assignments of the NN-CH domain of human IFT54 and its solution structure. The NN-CH domain of human IFT54 adopts essentially the α1-α2-α3-α4-α5 topology as that of mouse IFT54, whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic study. The structural information and assignments obtained in this study shed light on the molecular function of the NN-CH domain in IFT54.

Abstract
In response to environmental changes, cells flexibly and rapidly alter gene expression through translational controls. In plants, the translation of NIP5;1, a boric acid diffusion facilitator, is downregulated in response to an excess amount of boric acid in the environment through upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that consist of only AUG and stop codons. However, the molecular details of how this minimum uORF controls translation of the downstream main ORF in a boric acid-dependent manner have remained unclear. Here, by combining ribosome profiling, translation complex profile sequencing, structural analysis with cryo-electron microscopy and biochemical assays, we show that the 80S ribosome assembled at AUG-stop migrates into the subsequent RNA segment, followed by downstream translation initiation, and that boric acid impedes this process by the stable confinement of eukaryotic release factor 1 on the 80S ribosome on AUG-stop. Our results provide molecular insight into translation regulation by a minimum and environment-responsive uORF.

Abstract
The control of cell movement through manipulation of cytoskeletal structure has therapeutic prospects notably in the development of novel anti-metastatic drugs. In this study, we determine the structure of Ras-binding domain (RBD) of ELMO1, a protein involved in cytoskeletal regulation, both alone and in complex with the activator RhoG and verify its targetability through computational nanobody design. Using our dock-and-design approach optimized with native-like initial pose selection, we obtain Nb01, a detectable binder from scratch in the first-round design. An affinity maturation step guided by structure-activity relationship at the interface generates 23 Nb01 sequence variants and 17 of them show enhanced binding to ELMO1-RBD and are modeled to form major spatial overlaps with RhoG. The best binder, Nb29, inhibited ELMO1-RBD/RhoG interaction. Molecular dynamics simulation of the flexibility of CDR2 and CDR3 of Nb29 reveal the design of stabilizing mutations at the CDR-framework junctions potentially confers the affinity enhancement.

Abstract
Ribosome biogenesis is a complicated, multistage process coordinated by ribosome assembly factors. Ribosome binding factor A (RbfA) is a bacterial one, which possesses a single structural type-II KH domain. By this domain, RbfA binds to a 16S rRNA precursor in small ribosomal subunits to promote its 5'-end processing. The human RbfA homolog, mtRbfA, binds to 12S rRNAs in the mitoribosomal small subunits and promotes its critical maturation process, the dimethylation of two highly conserved consecutive adenines, which differs from that of RbfA. However, the structural basis of the mtRbfA-mediated maturation process is poorly understood. Herein, we report the 1H, 15N, and 13C resonance assignments of the KH domain of mtRbfA and its solution structure. The mtRbfA domain adopts essentially the same α1-β1-β2-α2(kinked)-β3 topology as the type-II KH domain. Comparison with the RbfA counterpart showed structural differences in specific regions that function as a putative RNA-binding site. Particularly, the α2 helix of mtRbfA forms a single helix with a moderate kink at the Ser-Ala-Ala sequence, whereas the corresponding α2 helix of RbfA is interrupted by a distinct kink at the Ala-x-Gly sequence, characteristic of bacterial RbfA proteins, to adopt an α2-kink-α3 conformation. Additionally, the region linking α1 and β1 differs considerably in the sequence and structure between RbfA and mtRbfA. These findings suggest some variations of the RNA-binding mode between them and provide a structural basis for mtRbfA function in mitoribosome biogenesis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We examined the effects of the coordinator-based intervention on quality of life (QOL) in the aftermath of a fragility fracture, as well as factors predictive of post-fracture QOL. The coordinator-based interventions mitigated the decrease in QOL. Secondary fracture after primary fracture, however, was a significant predictor of lower QOL. PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the effects of the coordinator-based intervention on QOL in the aftermath of a fragility fracture, as well as factors predictive of post-fracture QOL, in an Asian population. METHODS Patients with new fractures in the intervention group received the coordinator-based intervention by a designated nurse certified as a coordinator, within 3 months of injury. QOL was evaluated using the Japanese version of the EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) scale before the fracture (through patient recollections) and at 0.5, 1, and 2 years after the primary fracture. RESULTS Data for 141 patients were analyzed: 70 in the liaison intervention (LI) group and 71 in the non-LI group. Significant intervention effects on QOL were observed at 6 months after the fracture; the QOL score was 0.079 points higher in the LI group than in the non-LI group (p=0.019). Further, the LI group reported significantly less pain/discomfort at 2 years after the fracture, compared to the non-LI group (p=0.037). In addition, secondary fractures were found to significantly prevent improvement and maintenance of QOL during the recovery period (p=0.015). CONCLUSION Short-term intervention effects were observable 6 months after the primary fracture, with the LI group mitigated the decrease in QOL. Few patients in the LI group reported pain/discomfort 2 years after the fracture, but there is uncertainty regarding its clinical significance. Secondary fracture after initial injury was a significant predictor of lower QOL after a fracture.

Abstract
Matrin-3 is a multifunctional protein that binds to both DNA and RNA. Its DNA-binding activity is linked to the formation of the nuclear matrix and transcriptional regulation, while its RNA-binding activity is linked to mRNA metabolism including splicing, transport, stabilization, and degradation. Correspondingly, Matrin-3 has two zinc finger domains for DNA binding and two consecutive RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains for RNA binding. Matrin-3 has been reported to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) when its disordered region contains pathogenic mutations. Simultaneously, it has been shown that the RNA-binding activity of Matrin-3 mediated by its RRM domains, affects the formation of insoluble cytoplasmic granules, which are related to the pathogenic mechanism of ALS/FTD. Thus, the effect of the RRM domains on the phase separation of condensed protein/RNA mixtures has to be clarified for a comprehensive understanding of ALS/FTD. Here, we report the 1H, 15N, and 13C resonance assignments of the two RNA binding domains and their solution structures. The resonance assignments and the solution structures obtained in this work will contribute to the elucidation of the molecular basis of Matrin-3 in the pathogenic mechanism of ALS and/or FTD.

Abstract
A local structure analysis method based on convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) has been used for refining isotropic atomic displacement parameters and five low-order structure factors with sin θ/λ ≤ 0.28 Å-1 of potassium tantalate (KTaO3). Comparison between structure factors determined from CBED patterns taken at the zone-axis (ZA) and Bragg-excited conditions is made in order to discuss their precision and sensitivities. Bragg-excited CBED patterns showed higher precision in the refinement of structure factors than ZA patterns. Consistency between higher precision and sensitivity of the Bragg-excited CBED patterns has been found only for structure factors of the outer zeroth-order Laue-zone reflections with larger reciprocal-lattice vectors. Correlation coefficients among the refined structure factors in the refinement of Bragg-excited patterns are smaller than those of the ZA ones. Such smaller correlation coefficients lead to higher precision in the refinement of structure factors.

Abstract
In humans, YTH (YT521-B homology) domain containing protein 2 (YTHDC2) plays a crucial role in the phase-shift from mitosis to meiosis. YTH domains bind to methylated adenosine nucleotides such as m6A. In a phylogenic tree, the YTH domain of YTHDC2 (YTH2) and that of the YTH containing protein YTHDC1 (YTH1) belong to the same sub-group. However, the binding affinity of m6A differs between these proteins. Here, we report 1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignment of YTH2 and its solution structure to examine the difference of the structural architecture and the dynamic properties of YTH1 and YTH2. YTH2 adopts a β1-α1-β2-α2-β3-β4-β5-α3-β6-α4 topology, which was also observed in YTH1. However, the β4-β5 loops of YTH1 and YTH2 are distinct in length and amino acid composition. Our data revealed that, unlike in YTH1, the structure of m6A-binding pocket of YTH2 formed by the β4-β5 loop is stabilized by electrostatic interaction. This assignment and the structural information for YTH2 will provide the insight on the further functional research of YTHDC2.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We examined the effectiveness of coordinators' interventions to prevent secondary fractures in patients with fragility fractures. These coordinator-based interventions improved bone density assessment implementation and treatment rates, and enhanced treatment persistence rates in the early stages following fractures. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the efficiency of coordinator-based osteoporosis intervention in fragility fracture patients during a 2-year period. METHODS A prospective intervention randomized control study was conducted at seven medical facilities from January 2015 to March 2017. Postmenopausal women and men over 50 years old with fragility fractures were randomly divided into the coordinator intervention (LI; 70 patients) and without intervention (non-LI; 71 patients) groups. The osteoporosis treatment rate, osteoporosis treatment persistence rate, fall rate, fracture incidence rate, and bone density measurement rate 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after registration were compared between the two groups. Non-parametric tests were used to analyze data at each inspection period. RESULTS The osteoporosis treatment initiation rate was significantly higher in the LI group than in the non-LI group (85.7% vs. 71.8%; p = 0.04). The LI group had significantly higher bone density assessment implementation rates than the non-LI group at the time of registration (90.0% vs. 69.0%; p = 0.00) and 6 months after registration (50.0% vs. 29.6%; p = 0.01), but not 1 or 2 years after registration. In addition, no significant differences in fall or fracture incidence rates were found between the two groups. CONCLUSION The coordinator-based interventions for fragility fractures improved bone density assessment implementation and treatment rates and enhanced treatment persistence rates in the early stages following bone fractures. The findings suggest that liaison intervention may help both fracture and osteoporosis physicians for the evaluation of osteoporosis and initiation and continuation of osteoporosis medication.

Abstract
Ferroaxial materials that exhibit spontaneous ordering of a rotational structural distortion with an axial vector symmetry have gained growing interest, motivated by recent extensive studies on ferroic materials. As in conventional ferroics (e.g., ferroelectrics and ferromagnetics), domain states will be present in the ferroaxial materials. However, the observation of ferroaxial domains is non-trivial due to the nature of the order parameter, which is invariant under both time-reversal and space-inversion operations. Here we propose that NiTiO3 is an order-disorder type ferroaxial material, and spatially resolve its ferroaxial domains by using linear electrogyration effect: optical rotation in proportion to an applied electric field. To detect small signals of electrogyration (order of 10−5 deg V−1), we adopt a recently developed difference image-sensing technique. Furthermore, the ferroaxial domains are confirmed on nano-scale spatial resolution with a combined use of scanning transmission electron microscopy and convergent-beam electron diffraction. Our success of the domain visualization will promote the study of ferroaxial materials as a new ferroic state of matter. The presence of ferroaxial domain states is recently experimentally demonstrated by a nonlinear optical technique, which lacks high spatial resolution to visualize ferroaxial domains. Here, the authors visualize spatial distributions of ferroaxial domains in NiTiO3 showing an order-disorder type ferroaxial transition.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS) has proposed “severe familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)” as a FH phenotype with the highest cardiovascular risk. Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents a major atherosclerotic change in FH patients. Given their higher LDL-C level and atherogenic clinical features, more extensive formation of atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease including not only CAD but stroke/peripheral artery disease (PAD) may more frequently occur in severe FH.
Methods
481 clinically-diagnosed heterozygous FH subjects were analyzed. Severe FH was defined as untreated LDL-C>10.3 mmol/l, LDL-C>8.0 mmol/l+ 1 high-risk feature, LDL-C>4.9 mmol/l + 2 high-risk features or presence of clinical ASCVD according to IAS proposed statement. Cardiac (cardiac death and ACS) and non-cardiac (stroke and peripheral artery disease) events were compared in severe and non-severe FH subjects.
Results
Severe FH was identified in 50.1% of study subjects. They exhibit increased levels of LDL-C and Lipoprotein (a) with a higher frequency of LDLR mutation. Furthermore, a proportion of %LDL-C reduction>50% was greater in severe FH under more lipid-lowering therapy (Table). However, during the observational period (median=6.3 years), severe FH was associated with a 5.9-fold (95% CI, 2.05–25.2; p=0.004) and 5.8-fold (95% CI, 2.02–24.7; p=0.004) greater likelihood of experiencing cardiac-death/ACS and stroke/PAD, respectively (picture). Multivariate analysis demonstrated severe FH as an independent predictor of both cardiac-death/ACS (hazard ratio=3.39, 95% CI=1.12–14.7, p=0.02) and stroke/PAD (hazard ratio=3.38, 95% CI=1.16–14.3, p=0.02) events.
Clinical characteristics of severe FH Non-severe FH Severe FH P-value Baseline LDL-C (mmol/l) 5.3±1.5 6.6±2.0 <0.0001 Lp(a) (mg/dl) 15 [8–28] 21 [10–49] <0.0001 LDLR mutation (%) 49.6% 58.9% 0.00398 On-treatment LDL-C (mmol) 133 [106–165] 135 [103–169] 0.9856 %LDL-C reduction>50% 21.3% 49.8% <0.0001 High-intensity statin (%) 13.3% 42.3% <0.0001 PCSK9 inhibitor (%) 6.3% 21.2% <0.0001
Clinical outcome
Conclusions
Severe FH subjects exhibit substantial atherosclerotic risks for coronary, carotid and peripheral arteries despite lipid lowering therapy. Our finding underscore the screening of systemic arteries and the adoption of further stringent lipid management in severe FH patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The proportion of the octogenarian population is expanding especially in Eastern society. Due to the clustering of risk factors, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents a major cardiovascular complication in octogenarian subjects. This suggests the need to further optimize their therapeutic management to prevent future cardiac events after AMI. However, analysis of clinical characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in octogenarian subjects with AMI who received the current established medical therapies is limited.
Purpose
To investigate clinical features and prognosis in octogenarian AMI subjects treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We analyzed 1547 AMI subjects underwent PCI between 2007 and 2017. Baseline characteristics and the occurrence of composite major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, non-fatal MI, revascularization, heart failure and stroke) were compared in octogenarian and non-octogenarian subjects.
Results
22.0% (340/1547) of study subjects was octogenarian. They were more likely to have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a lower level of LDL-C on admission (Table). Moreover, a higher prevalence of severer Killip class and LVEF <30% were observed in octogenarians (Table). However, they were not optimally treated with the established medical therapies at discharge (Table). During the observational period (median=3.1 years), the composite of cardiovascular events more frequently occurred in octogenarian subjects. Of note, they exhibited a 2.15-fold and 3.01-fold increased risk for heart failure and stroke events, respectively (Figure).
Table 1 Non-Octogenarian (n=1207) Octogenarian (n=340) P-value CKD* (%) 33.8 63.2 <0.0001 LVEF <30% (%) 5.7 10.3 0.02 Killip class 1.33±0.03 1.55±0.05 <0.0001 LDL-C (mmol/L) 3.20±0.03 2.80±0.05 <0.0001 Statin (%) 86.3 78.2 0.0006 Beta-blocker (%) 74.0 65.8 0.005 ACE-I/ARB (%) 87.3 76.6 <0.0001 DAPT (%) 86.0 88.6 0.42 *CKD is defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2.
Figure 1
Conclusions
Octogenarian subjects with AMI were high-risk group associated with heart failure and stroke events. Their distinct clinical backgrounds may affect the adoption of optimal medical therapies, potentially resulting in worse cardiovascular outcomes. Further intensified management should be applied to octogenarian subjects with AMI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) is an epidemic in healthcare worldwide including Asia. It appears that HF will become more serious with aging of the population. The patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) were older, more often female, and frequently have comorbidities including hypertension. However, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) on admission is associated with poor outcomes in patients with HF. It remains unclear whether this association is similar in very elderly patients with HFpEF.
Purpose
To investigate clinical features and prognosis in octogenarian HFpEF subjects.
Methods
We analyzed 87 consecutive subjects aged 80 years or older who were hospitalized for acute decompensated HF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% between 2015 and 2017. Clinical characteristics and a composite event of cardiac death and HF hospitalization were compared in two groups according to SBP cut-off of 140 mmHg on admission.
Results
The prevalence of lower SBP subjects (mean BP = 118 mmHg) and higher SBP (mean BP = 166 mmHg) subjects were 41.4% and 58.6%, respectively. Lower SBP subjects were more comorbid with atrial fibrillation (72.2 vs. 45.1%, p=0.01). In the lower SBP group, diuretics, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors/ARBs were more commonly used than higher SBP group (Table). During the observational period (median = 1.0 year), lower SBP on admission was associated with a 2.65-fold [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29–5.55, p=0.009] greater likelihood of experiencing the composite events of cardiac death and rehospitalization for HF (Figure). This observation was still consistent even after adjusting clinical demographics and comorbidity [hazard ratio = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.30–6.87, p=0.01].
Table 1 Lower SBP group (n=36) Higher SBP group (n=51) P-value Atrial fibrillation (%) 72.2 0.01 0.01 Loop diuretic (%) 97.1 83.7 0.08 MRA (%) 47.1 24.5 0.04 Beta-blocker (%) 52.9 44.9 0.51 ACE inhibitor/ARB (%) 59.2 29.4 0.01
Figure 1
Conclusions
In octogenarian patients with acute decompensated HF and preserved LVEF, SBP on admission less than 140 mmHg is significantly associated with poor outcomes. Future studies need to prospectively evaluate optimal SBP treatment goals in very elderly patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
The Dedicator Of CytoKinesis (DOCK) family of atypical guanine nucleotide exchange factors activates the Rho family GTPases Rac and/or Cdc42 through DOCK homology region 2 (DHR-2). Previous structural analyses of the DHR-2 domains of DOCK2 and DOCK9 have shown that they preferentially bind Rac1 and Cdc42, respectively; however, the molecular mechanism by which DHR-2 distinguishes between these GTPases is unclear. Here we report the crystal structure of the Cdc42-bound form of the DOCK7 DHR-2 domain showing dual specificity for Rac1 and Cdc42. The structure revealed increased substrate tolerance of DOCK7 at the interfaces with switch 1 and residue 56 of Cdc42. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations showed a closed-to-open conformational change in the DOCK7 DHR-2 domain between the Cdc42- and Rac1-bound states by lobe B displacement. Our results suggest that lobe B acts as a sensor for identifying different switch 1 conformations and explain how DOCK7 recognizes both Rac1 and Cdc42.

Abstract
Musashi1 (Msi1) is an RNA-binding protein that is involved in cell fate determination. Here, we report the 1H, 15N, and 13C resonance assignments of Msi1 second RNA-binding domain in free form and in complex with RNA. The assignments can be utilized for NMR structure and dynamics analyses of the Msi1:RNA complex, and moreover, for chemical shift perturbation analyses to evaluate the binding of potential small molecule inhibitors against Msi1:RNA interaction.

Abstract
The spliceosomal protein SF3b49, a component of the splicing factor 3b (SF3b) protein complex in the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, contains two RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains. In yeast, the first RRM domain (RRM1) of Hsh49 protein (yeast orthologue of human SF3b49) reportedly interacts with another component, Cus1 protein (orthologue of human SF3b145). Here, we solved the solution structure of the RRM1 of human SF3b49 and examined its mode of interaction with a fragment of human SF3b145 using NMR methods. Chemical shift mapping showed that the SF3b145 fragment spanning residues 598–631 interacts with SF3b49 RRM1, which adopts a canonical RRM fold with a topology of β1‐α1‐β2‐β3‐α2‐β4. Furthermore, a docking model based on NOESY measurements suggests that residues 607–616 of the SF3b145 fragment adopt a helical structure that binds to RRM1 predominantly via α1, consequently exhibiting a helix–helix interaction in almost antiparallel. This mode of interaction was confirmed by a mutational analysis using GST pull‐down assays. Comparison with structures of all RRM domains when complexed with a peptide found that this helix–helix interaction is unique to SF3b49 RRM1. Additionally, all amino acid residues involved in the interaction are well conserved among eukaryotes, suggesting evolutionary conservation of this interaction mode between SF3b49 RRM1 and SF3b145.

Abstract
Twenty-seven consecutive patients were examined by T2-(1 800/70 ms) and postcontrast T1-weighted (600/15) spin echo (SE) or dynamic (200/15) SE MR imaging to determine the usefulness of parasagittal MR imaging in assessing cervical invasion of endometrial carcinoma. The images were obtained in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the uterus (parasagittal). The cervical epithelium, being hyperintense on the late phase dynamic and postcontrast T1-weighted SE images, had disappeared partially or totally in all 4 patients with cervical invasion. The enhanced cervical epithelium was completely seen in one patient with the tumor protruding into the cervical canal in a polyp-like form without cervical epithelial invasion. The same was also seen in the 22 patients with the tumor remaining in the corpus cavity. The enhanced parasagittal MR images facilitated the evaluation of the extent of the endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of sequential T2-weighted spin-echo type multishot echo-planar (T2-EP) imaging with gadopentetate dimeglumine for the detection of hypovascular metastatic liver tumors. Material and Methods: Fifteen consecutive patients with 56 proven hypovascular metastatic liver tumors were included in the study. Three observers blindly and independently read the whole-liver images obtained with T2-weighted spin-echo, T2-weighted single-shot fast spin-echo, T1-weighted fast multiplanar spoiled GRASS and T2-EP images obtained before and 25, 60, 90 and 120 s after injection of 0.2 mmol/kg b.w. of gadopentetate dimeglumine. The diagnostic accuracy was estimated by calculating the area under the observer-specific binomial receiver operating characteristics curves (Az). Results: T2-EP images obtained 60 s after contrast injection showed significantly higher contrast-to-noise (C/N) ratios than the other imaging techniques. A combination of all phases of the T2-EP images produced the highest sensitivity and specificity. In terms of the Az value, the diagnostic accuracy for tumor detection achieved with a combination of all phases of the T2-EP images was significantly higher than that with T1-SPGR and T2-SSFSE images ( p < 0.01). The Az values of the T2-EP images (Az = 0.975) were higher than those of T2-CSE images (Az = 0.948), but the difference was not significant. Conclusion: Our preliminary study revealed that sequential imaging with enhanced T2-EP images was useful for the detection of hypovascular metastatic liver tumors because of its superior C/N ratio and sensitivity.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with iodized oil for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), dynamic turbo-fast low angle shot (turbo-FLASH) (TR/TE/flip angle/TI, 8.5/4.6/10/200) MR imaging with gadopentetate dimeglumine was performed in 10 patients with HCC after TACE with iodized oil and before partial hepatectomy. Immediately after 0.05 mmol/kg b.w. of gadopentetate dimeglumine was administered intravenously, 10 images were obtained in the first 20 s (early phase). Then, one image every 30 s from 1 to 3 min (late phase), and images at 5 min and 7 min (delayed phase) were obtained serially. In the early phase, HCC showed no enhancement in 5 patients, partial hyperintense enhancement in 4, and total hyperintense enhancement in one. Viable regions of the tumor, evaluated at histopathology, showed hyperintense enhancement relative to the surrounding liver parenchyma in the early phase, while necrotic regions showed no enhancement. Both viable and necrotic regions showed lower signal intensities than the surrounding liver parenchyma in both late and delayed phases. By using dynamic turbo-FLASH MR imaging, we were able to accurately evaluate the effect of TACE with iodized oil for HCC in 8 of the 10 patients. In 2 patients, in whom small viable cells were seen in the HCC, viable regions could not be detected with our technique. It is concluded that turbo-FLASH dynamic MR imaging was useful for evaluating the effect of TACE for HCC.

Abstract
To study the mechanism of autonomic regulation in the larynx, intralaryngeal local ganglia of the cat were investigated using immunohistochemical techniques. Small intralaryngeal ganglia were found in the peripheral portions of internal branches of the superior laryngeal nerve. Ninety-one percent of the ganglionic neurons were immunoreactive (IR) to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and 10% of the VIP-IR cells were also immunoreactive to enkephalin (ENK) and/or substance P (SP). The immunoreactivity of neuronal cell bodies remained unchanged even after denervation of the bilateral superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves. A dense distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-IR nerve fibers was found around almost all neuronal cells in the intralaryngeal. ganglia. A few VIP-IR, ENK-IR, and SP-IR nerve fibers were also observed. Only the CGRP-IR fibers disappeared after the denervation experiments. in the laryngeal glands and mucosal arterioles, VIP-IR nerve terminals were found that were also immunoreactive to ENK and/or SP. However, these Immunoreactive nerve endings in the glands and arterioles remained after the denervation experiments. The results of our study indicate that laryngeal exocrine secretion and blood flow are regulated by postganglionic autonomic parasympathetic fibers from intralaryngeal ganglia that contain VIP alone or VIP with ENK and/or SP, and that these ganglionic neurons may be innervated by CGRP-IR extrinsic nerve fibers.

Abstract
The recent development of salivary proteomics has led to the identification of potential biomarkers for diagnosing patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Here we sought to identify differentially produced salivary metabolites from pSS patients and healthy controls (HCs) that might be used to characterize this disease. We obtained salivary samples from 12 female pSS patients (mean age 44.2 ± 13.01) and 21 age-matched female HCs. The metabolite profiles of saliva were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total metabolite levels in each of the samples were calculated and compared across the study participants. A total of 88 metabolites were detected across the study samples, 41 of which were observed at reduced levels in the samples from pSS patients. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a loss in salivary metabolite diversity in the pSS patient samples compared to the HC samples. The reduced presence of glycine, tyrosine, uric acid and fucose, which may reflect salivary gland destruction due to chronic sialoadenitis, contributed to the loss of diversity. Comparative PCA of the pSS patients revealed the presence of two subpopulations based on their metabolite profiles, and these two subpopulations showed a significant difference in the prevalence of major salivary glanditis (P = 0.014). In this study, we found that the salivary metabolite profile of pSS patients was less diverse than that of HCs and that the metabolite profiles in pSS patients were affected by the presence of major salivary glanditis.

Abstract
ZFAT is a transcriptional regulator, containing eighteen C2H2-type zinc-fingers and one AT-hook, involved in autoimmune thyroid disease, apoptosis, and immune-related cell survival. We determined the solution structures of the thirteen individual ZFAT zinc-fingers (ZF) and the tandemly arrayed zinc-fingers in the regions from ZF2 to ZF5, by NMR spectroscopy. ZFAT has eight uncommon bulged-out helix-containing zinc-fingers, and six of their structures (ZF4, ZF5, ZF6, ZF10, ZF11, and ZF13) were determined. The distribution patterns of the putative DNA-binding surface residues are different among the ZFAT zinc-fingers, suggesting the distinct DNA sequence preferences of the N-terminal and C-terminal zinc-fingers. Since ZFAT has three to five consecutive tandem zinc-fingers, which may cooperatively function as a unit, we also determined two tandemly arrayed zinc-finger structures, between ZF2 to ZF4 and ZF3 to ZF5. Our NMR spectroscopic analysis detected the interaction between ZF4 and ZF5, which are connected by an uncommon linker sequence, KKIK. The ZF4–ZF5 linker restrained the relative structural space between the two zinc-fingers in solution, unlike the other linker regions with determined structures, suggesting the involvement of the ZF4–ZF5 interfinger linker in the regulation of ZFAT function.

Abstract
We developed fluorescent turn-on probes containing a fluorescent nucleoside, 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)deoxyuridine (dU(BF)) or 5-(3-methylbenzofuran-2-yl)deoxyuridine (dU(MBF)), for the detection of single-stranded DNA or RNA by utilizing DNA triplex formation. Fluorescence measurements revealed that the probe containing dU(MBF) achieved superior fluorescence enhancement than that containing dU(BF). NMR and fluorescence analyses indicated that the fluorescence intensity increased upon triplex formation partly as a consequence of a conformational change at the bond between the 3-methylbenzofuran and uracil rings. In addition, it is suggested that the microenvironment around the 3-methylbenzofuran ring contributed to the fluorescence enhancement. Further, we developed a method for detecting RNA by rolling circular amplification in combination with triplex-induced fluorescence enhancement of the oligonucleotide probe containing dU(MBF).

Abstract
The family of cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding proteins CPEB1, CPEB2, CPEB3, and CPEB4 binds to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of mRNA, and plays significant roles in mRNA metabolism and translation regulation. They have a common domain organization, involving two consecutive RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains followed by a zinc finger domain in the C-terminal region. We solved the solution structure of the first RRM domain (RRM1) of human CPEB3, which revealed that CPEB3 RRM1 exhibits structural features distinct from those of the canonical RRM domain. Our structural data provide important information about the RNA binding ability of CPEB3 RRM1.

Abstract
Molecular stability of chicken egg yolk immunoglobulin G (IgY) and that of rabbit IgG were compared by measuring antibody activities and conformational changes. Stability of rabbit IgG to acid denaturation was much higher than that of IgY. Conformation of the IgY molecule was readily changed in acidic conditions, resulting in a rapid loss of antibody activity. Much less stable natures of IgY to heat-treatment and guanidine-HCl denaturation than rabbit IgG were also observed. Differences in the structure between the two immunoglobulins that might participate in their different stability were inferred from their amino acid sequence data. Importance of the intramolecular disulfide linkage in the rabbit light chain and some other structural differences were suggested.

Abstract
RNA helicase A (RHA) is a multifunctional protein that regulates gene expression. RHA has two double-stranded RNA-binding domains (dsRBDs) that serve as modules for highly structured RNA binding and protein-protein interactions. Using the dsRBDs, RHA binds to cellular and viral mRNAs, exports them from the nucleus, and regulates splicing as well as translational initiation. The RHA dsRBDs also reportedly mediate interactions with small RNAs and other dsRBD-containing proteins, and altogether form a processing complex involved in RNA silencing pathways. In addition, the RHA dsRBDs bridge RNA polymerase II with several transcription factors. Here we report the (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N chemical shift assignments of the dsRBDs of RHA. The resonance assignments obtained in this work will contribute to the elucidation of the interactions between RHA and transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene regulators.

Structural information about WWE domains has been obtained for the ubiquitination-related proteins, such as Deltex and RNF146, but not yet for the poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs). Here we determined the solution structures of the WWE domains from PARP11 and PARP14, and compared them with that of the RNF146 WWE domain. NMR perturbation experiments revealed the specific differences in their ADP-ribose recognition modes that correlated with their individual biological activities. The present structural information sheds light on the ADP-ribose recognition modes by the PARP WWE domains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurrent inflammatory skin disease characterized by dominant T-helper (Th) 2 cytokine response. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has been used for preventing tuberculosis, and is regarded as a strong Th1 cytokine inducer. Antigen (Ag) 85B is a secretory protein present in Mycobacterium species that induces Th1 cytokine production. OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of combined vaccination of heat-killed BCG (hkBCG) and Mycobacterium kansasii Ag85B in an AD mouse model. METHODS For the AD model, keratin 14 promoter-derived caspase-1 overexpressing mice (KCASP1Tg) were used. The mice received a combination therapy of hkBCG at age 3 weeks and Ag85B twice weekly for 11 weeks from the 4th week; Ag85B monotherapy from the 4th week; hkBCG monotherapy at the 3rd week; or control saline. Areas of skin lesions, cytokine mRNA expression and serum interleukin (IL)-18 and immunoglobulin (Ig) E levels were analysed. Inducible Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (iTreg), IL-10-producing T cells (Tr1), and interferon (IFN)-γ/IL-4/IL-17-producing T cells were evaluated in the spleen. RESULTS Saline-treated mice and hkBCG monotherapy mice spontaneously developed severe dermatitis. However, combined therapy with hkBCG and Ag85B significantly suppressed the development of skin lesions and mast cell infiltrations. Elevations of the serum IgE and IL-18 levels were significantly suppressed with combined therapy. Mice treated with hkBCG and Ag85B had a normal number of iTreg in the spleen, and decreased number of both IL-4- and IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells. The effect of Ag85B monotherapy was limited. CONCLUSIONS Combined vaccination with hkBCG and Ag85B decreases AD skin lesions by inducing regulatory T cells, suggesting that this vaccination is a potent and novel therapeutic strategy for AD.

Abstract
RNA helicase A (RHA) is a highly conserved protein with multifaceted functions in the gene expression of cellular and viral mRNAs. RHA recognizes highly structured nucleotides and catalytically rearranges the various interactions between RNA, DNA, and protein molecules to provide a platform for the ribonucleoprotein complex. We present the first solution structures of the double-stranded RNA-binding domains (dsRBDs), dsRBD1 and dsRBD2, from mouse RHA. We discuss the binding mode of the dsRBDs of RHA, in comparison with the known dsRBD structures in their complexes. Our structural data provide important information for the elucidation of the molecular reassembly mediated by RHA.

Abstract
Mammalian Musashi1 (Msi1) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the translation of target mRNAs, and participates in the maintenance of cell ‘stemness’ and tumorigenesis. Msi1 reportedly binds to the 3′-untranslated region of mRNA of Numb, which encodes Notch inhibitor, and impedes initiation of its translation by competing with eIF4G for PABP binding, resulting in triggering of Notch signaling. Here, the mechanism by which Msi1 recognizes the target RNA sequence using its Ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-type RNA-binding domains (RBDs), RBD1 and RBD2 has been revealed on identification of the minimal binding RNA for each RBD and determination of the three-dimensional structure of the RBD1:RNA complex. Unique interactions were found for the recognition of the target sequence by Msi1 RBD1: adenine is sandwiched by two phenylalanines and guanine is stacked on the tryptophan in the loop between β1 and α1. The minimal recognition sequences that we have defined for Msi1 RBD1 and RBD2 have actually been found in many Msi1 target mRNAs reported to date. The present study provides molecular clues for understanding the biology involving Musashi family proteins.
