Abstract
A simple NMR method to analyze the data obtained by NMR titration experiment of amyloid formation inhibitors against uniformly 15N-labeled amyloid-β 1-42 peptide (Aβ(1-42)) was described. By using solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement, the simplest method for monitoring the effects of Aβ fibrilization inhibitors is the NMR chemical shift perturbation (CSP) experiment using 15N-labeled Aβ(1-42). However, the flexible and dynamic nature of Aβ(1-42) monomer may hamper the interpretation of CSP data. Here we introduced principal component analysis (PCA) for visualizing and analyzing NMR data of Aβ(1-42) in the presence of amyloid inhibitors including high concentration osmolytes. We measured 1H-15N 2D spectra of Aβ(1-42) at various temperatures as well as of Aβ(1-42) with several inhibitors, and subjected all the data to PCA (PCA-HSQC). The PCA diagram succeeded in differentiating the various amyloid inhibitors, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), rosmarinic acid (RA) and curcumin (CUR) from high concentration osmolytes. We hypothesized that the CSPs reflected the conformational equilibrium of intrinsically disordered Aβ(1-42) induced by weak inhibitor binding rather than the specific molecular interactions.

Abstract
The microtubule interacting and trafficking (MIT) domain is a small protein module that is conserved in proteins of diverged function, such as Vps4, spastin and sorting nexin 15 (SNX15). The molecular function of the MIT domain is protein-protein interaction, in which the domain recognizes peptides containing MIT-interacting motifs. Recently, we identified an evolutionarily related domain, 'variant' MIT domain at the N-terminal region of the microtubule severing enzyme katanin p60. We found that the domain was responsible for binding to microtubules and Ca(2+). Here, we have examined whether the authentic MIT domains also bind Ca(2+). We found that the loop between the first and second α-helices of the MIT domain binds a Ca(2+) ion. Furthermore, the MIT domains derived from Vps4b and SNX15a showed phosphoinositide-binding activities in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. We propose that the MIT domain is a novel membrane-associating domain involved in endosomal trafficking.

Abstract
Stomatin, a 288-residue protein, is a component of the membrane skeleton of red blood cells (RBCs), which helps to physically support the membrane and maintains its function. In RBCs, stomatin binds to the glucose transporter GLUT-1 and may regulate its function. Stomatin has a stomatin/prohibitin/flotillin/HflK (SPFH) domain at the center of its polypeptide chain. There are 12 SPFH domain-containing proteins, most of which are localized at the cellular or subcellular membranes. Although the molecular function of the SPFH domain has not yet been established, the domain may be involved in protein oligomerization. The SPFH domain of the archaeal stomatin homolog has been shown to form unique oligomers. Here we report the (15)N, (13)C, and (1)H chemical shift assignments of the SPFH domain of human stomatin [hSTOM(SPFH)]. These may help in determining the structure of hSTOM(SPFH) in solution as well as in clarifying its involvement in protein oligomerization.

Abstract
Katanin p60 (p60-katanin) is a microtubule (MT)-severing enzyme and its activity is regulated by the p80 subunit (adaptor-p80). p60-katanin consists of an N-terminal domain, followed by a single ATPase associated with various cellular activities (AAA) domain. We have previously shown that the N-terminal domain serves as the binding site for MT, the substrate of p60-katanin. In this study, we show that the same domain shares another interface with the C-terminal domain of adaptor-p80. We further show that Ca(2+) ions inhibit the MT-severing activity of p60-katanin, whereas the MT-binding activity is preserved in the presence of Ca(2+). In detail, the basal ATPase activity of p60-katanin is stimulated twofold by both MTs and the C-terminal domain of adaptor-p80, whereas Ca(2+) reduces elevated ATPase activity to the basal level. We identify the Ca(2+) -binding site at the end of helix 2 of the N-terminal domain, which is different from the MT-binding interface. On the basis of these observations, we propose a speculative model in which spatial rearrangement of the N-terminal domain relative to the C-terminal AAA domain may be important for productive ATP hydrolysis towards MT-severing. Our model can explain how Ca(2+) regulates both severing and ATP hydrolysis activity, because the Ca(2+) -binding site on the N-terminal domain moves close to the AAA domain during MT severing.

Abstract
The N-terminal regions of AAA-ATPases (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) often contain a domain that defines the distinct functions of the enzymes, such as substrate specificity and subcellular localization. As described herein, we have determined the solution structure of an N-terminal unique domain isolated from nuclear valosin-containing protein (VCP)-like protein 2 (NVL2(UD)). NVL2(UD) contains three α helices with an organization resembling that of a winged helix motif, whereas a pair of β-strands is missing. The structure is unique and distinct from those of other known type II AAA-ATPases, such as VCP. Consequently, we identified nucleolin from a HeLa cell extract as a binding partner of this domain. Nucleolin contains a long (∼300 amino acids) intrinsically unstructured region, followed by the four tandem RNA recognition motifs and the C-terminal glycine/arginine-rich domain. Binding analyses revealed that NVL2(UD) potentially binds to any of the combinations of two successive RNA binding domains in the presence of RNA. Furthermore, NVL2(UD) has a characteristic loop, in which the key basic residues RRKR are exposed to the solvent at the edge of the molecule. The mutation study showed that these residues are necessary and sufficient for nucleolin-RNA complex binding as well as nucleolar localization. Based on the observations presented above, we propose that NVL2 serves as an unfoldase for the nucleolin-RNA complex. As inferred from its RNA dependence and its ATPase activity, NVL2 might facilitate the dissociation and recycling of nucleolin, thereby promoting efficient ribosome biogenesis.

Abstract
Katanin p60 (kp60), a microtubule-severing enzyme, plays a key role in cytoskeletal reorganization during various cellular events in an ATP-dependent manner. We show that a single domain isolated from the N terminus of mouse katanin p60 (kp60-NTD) binds to tubulin. The solution structure of kp60-NTD was determined by NMR. Although their sequence similarities were as low as 20%, the structure of kp60-NTD revealed a striking similarity to those of the microtubule interacting and trafficking (MIT) domains, which adopt anti-parallel three-stranded helix bundle. In particular, the arrangement of helices 2 and 3 is well conserved between kp60-NTD and the MIT domain from Vps4, which is a homologous protein that promotes disassembly of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport III membrane skeleton complex. Mutation studies revealed that the positively charged surface formed by helices 2 and 3 binds tubulin. This binding mode resembles the interaction between the MIT domain of Vps4 and Vps2/CHMP1a, a component of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport III. Our results show that both the molecular architecture and the binding modes are conserved between two AAA-ATPases, kp60 and Vps4. A common mechanism is evolutionarily conserved between two distinct cellular events, one that drives microtubule severing and the other involving membrane skeletal reorganization.

Abstract
Structural determination of individual protein domains isolated from multidomain proteins is a common approach in the post-genomic era. Novel and thus uncharacterized domains liberated from intact proteins often self-associate due to incorrectly defined domain boundaries. Self-association results in missing signals, poor signal dispersion and a low signal-to-noise ratio in (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectra. We have found that a putative, non-canonical coiled coil region close to a domain boundary can cause transient hydrophobic self-association and monomer-dimer equilibrium in solution. Here we propose a rational method to predict putative coiled coil regions adjacent to the globular core domain using the program COILS. Except for the amino acid sequence, no preexisting knowledge concerning the domain is required. A small number of mutant proteins with a minimized coiled coil region have been rationally designed and tested. The engineered domains exhibit decreased self-association as assessed by (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectra with improved peak dispersion and sharper cross peaks. Two successful examples of isolating novel N-terminal domains from AAA-ATPases are demonstrated. Our method is useful for the experimental determination of domain boundaries suited for structural genomics studies.

Abstract
Cellular protein delivery is an emerging technique, by which exogenous recombinant proteins are delivered into mammalian cells across the membrane. We have developed an E. coli expression vector suited for protein cellular delivery experiments. The plasmid is designed to generate a C-terminal fusion with the 12 amino acid HIV-Tat peptide as a protein transduction domain (PTD), whereas the protein N-terminus is fused to an 17-residue peptide lanthanide-binding tag (LBT). LBT is used for both purification by affinity chromatography and fluorescent detection with Tb(3+) as a coordinating metal. We have employed the TA-cloning site between the two tags, LBT and PTD, according to the PRESAT-vector methodology [N. Goda, T. Tenno, H. Takasu, H. Hiroaki, M. Shirakawa, The PRESAT-vector: asymmetric T-vector for high-throughput screening of soluble protein domains for structural proteomics, Protein Sci. 13 (2004) 652-658], which facilitates unidirectional cloning of any PCR-amplified DNA fragments corresponding to the protein of interest. A simple three-step protocol consisting of affinity purification of LBT/PTD dual-tagged proteins has also been developed, in which the proteins are purified by heparin-, then immobilized Ni(2+)-, and then heparin-affinity chromatography, in this order. The purified protein is ready for protein delivery experiment, and the delivered protein is visible by fluorescent microscopy. Our LBT/PTD dual-tagged PRESAT-vector provides a powerful research tool for exploring cellular functions of proteins in the post-genomic era.

Abstract
A 14-year retrospective study was performed on 47 odontomas from the files of the 1st Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Nihon University School of Dentistry. Fifty-seven percent of the patients were male and 42.6% were female. The age distribution was 8 to 48 years with a mean age of 22 +/- 9.0 years. There were no particular symptoms associated with the odontomas, and 63.8% of our patients had no symptoms. However, 12 patients complained of swelling and 9 of pain. The tumor was found in the maxilla in 42.6% and in the mandible in 57.4%. According to the WHO histological type classification, 53.2% of the tumors were classified as compound odontoma and 46.8% as complex odontoma. The size of the tumor ranged from 5 mm to 42 mm in diameter. The average complex odontoma was much bigger than the average compound odontoma. Ghost cells were found 11 cases in our series. In addition, odontogenic epithelium was found in 16 cases. Twenty seven patients had impacted teeth in association with odontoma and 24 of the 27 teeth were removed at the time of surgical enucleation of the tumor, while 3 cases were treated by orthodontically assisted eruption. There was no recurrence in any of the studied cases.

Abstract
The relationship between the quantitative EEG variables and plasma levels after the administration of diazepam (DZ) or N-desmethyldiazepam (synthesized NDDZ) was evaluated by simultaneously measuring the power spectra for EEG with two biological markers and plasma concentrations. After a single DZ administration, the EEG change corresponding to sedation appeared rapidly and showed a short duration. A close relationship was found between these effects and changes in the DZ plasma concentrations. DZ and synthesized NDDZ had the same pharmacodynamic characteristics, but the main metabolic product of DZ (metabolite NDDZ) showed a different pharmacokinetic profile. A multiple administration of DZ or synthesized NDDZ caused some reduction in sedation at the steady-state. These results led to the conclusions that a single administration of DZ causes sedation of a short duration, and the main metabolic product of DZ (metabolite NDDZ) does not seem to contribute to sedation. In addition, the reduction in the pharmacological effect after continuous treatment with DZ depends not on autoinduction or interference, but on acute tolerance or adaptation.

Abstract
A study of the relationship between pharmacokinetic profiles and temporal changes in quantitative EEG following imipramine administrations showed that a single dose of imipramine administered by different routes decreased the alpha-power spectra of healthy subjects. The EEG changes were time-related and their latent period and duration depended not on the plasma levels, but on the pharmacokinetic parameters. These effects were produced by imipramine without the influence of its desmethylated product, desipramine. Also, both single and multiple doses after oral or intramuscular imipramine administrations to depressive patients led to two types of EEG responses, with Type 1 patients exhibiting fast improvement of their symptoms. Therefore, chronologically-recorded quantitative EEG should be useful in judging the clinical prognosis of depressive patients after the imipramine treatment. At a steady state, however, neither the EEG recording nor the evaluation of the plasma level is adequate for the judgment.
