Abstract
The gene for a previously unexplored two-domain laccase was identified in the genome of actinobacterium Streptomyces carpinensis VKM Ac-1300. The two-domain laccase, named ScaSL, was produced in a heterologous expression system (Escherichia coli strain M15 [pREP4]). The enzyme was purified to homogeneity using affinity chromatography. ScaSL laccase, like most two-domain laccases, exhibited activity in the homotrimer form. However, unlike the most two-domain laccases, it was also active in multimeric forms. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 80°C and was thermally stable. Half-inactivation time of ScaSL at 80°C was 40 min. The laccase was able to oxidize a non-phenolic organic compound ABTS at a maximum rate at pH 4.7, and to oxidized a phenolic compound 2,6-dimethoxyphenol at a maximum rate at pH 7.5. The laccase stability was observed in the pH range 9-11. At pH 7.5, laccase was slightly inhibited by sodium azide, sodium fluoride, and sodium chloride; at pH 4.5, the laccase was completely inhibited by 100 mM sodium azide. The determined Km and kcat of the enzyme for ABTS were 0.1 mM and 20 s-1, respectively. The Km and kcat for 2,6-dimethoxyphenol were 0.84 mM and 0.36 s-1, respectively. ScaSL catalyzed polymerization of humic acids and lignin. Redox potential of the laccase was 0.472 ± 0.007 V. Thus, the ScaSL laccase is the first characterized two-domain laccase with a middle redox potential. Crystal structure of ScaSL was determined with 2.35 Å resolution. Comparative analysis of the structures of ScaSL and other two-domain laccases suggested that the middle potential of ScaSL may be associated with conformational differences in the position of the side groups of amino acids at position 230 (in ScaSL numbering), which belong to the second coordination sphere of the copper atom of the T1 center.

Abstract
ExuR and UxuR are paralogous proteins belonging to the GntR family of transcriptional regulators. Both are known to control hexuronic acid metabolism in a variety of Gammaproteobacteria but the relative impact of each of them is still unclear. Here, we apply 2D difference electrophoresis followed by mass-spectrometry to characterise the changes in the Escherichia coli proteome in response to a uxuR or exuR deletion. Our data clearly show that the effects are different: deletion of uxuR resulted in strongly enhanced expression of D-mannonate dehydratase UxuA and flagellar protein FliC, and in a reduced amount of outer membrane porin OmpF, while the absence of ExuR did not significantly alter the spectrum of detected proteins. Consequently, the physiological roles of proteins predicted as homologs seem to be far from identical. Effects of uxuR deletion were largely dependent on the cultivation conditions: during growth with glucose, UxuA and FliC were dramatically altered, while during growth with glucuronate, activation of both was not so prominent. During the growth with glucose, maximal activation was detected for FliC. This was further confirmed by expression analysis and physiological tests, thus suggesting the involvement of UxuR in the regulation of bacterial motility and biofilm formation.

Abstract
The structure and the RNA-binding properties of the Lsm protein from Halobacterium salinarum have been determined. A distinctive feature of this protein is the presence of a short L4 loop connecting the β3 and β4 strands. Since bacterial Lsm proteins (also called Hfq proteins) have a short L4 loop and form hexamers, whereas archaeal Lsm proteins (SmAP) have a long L4 loop and form heptamers, it has been suggested that the length of the L4 loop may affect the quaternary structure of Lsm proteins. Moreover, the L4 loop covers the region of SmAP corresponding to one of the RNA-binding sites in Hfq, and thus can affect the RNA-binding properties of the protein. Our results show that the SmAP from H. salinarum forms heptamers and possesses the same RNA-binding properties as homologous proteins with the long L4 loop. Therefore, the length of the L4 does not govern the number of monomers in the protein particles and does not affect the RNA-binding properties of Lsm proteins.

Abstract
Ribosomal protein L1 is a conserved two-domain protein that is involved in formation of the L1 stalk of the large ribosomal subunit. When there are no free binding sites available on the ribosomal 23S RNA, the protein binds to the specific site on the mRNA of its own operon (L11 operon in bacteria and L1 operon in archaea) preventing translation. Here we show that the regulatory properties of the r-protein L1 and its domain I are conserved in the thermophilic bacteria Thermus and Thermotoga and in the halophilic archaeon Haloarcula marismortui. At the same time the revealed features of the operon regulation in thermophilic bacteria suggest presence of two regulatory regions.

Abstract
Protein synthesis on ribosomes is considered the main process in cell life. Regulation of ribosomal protein gene expression plays an important role in the balanced synthesis of proteins and RNA in ribosomal biogenesis. This review is focused on some features of autoregulation of ribosomal protein synthesis in prokaryotes. Inhibition of the synthesis of ribosomal proteins encoded by 12 operons by mechanisms of competition , "entrapment", and retroregulation are discussed. Examples of regulation of protein synthesis by individual ribosomal proteins and their complexes are presented.

Abstract
Cytokines of the IL-17 family play a key role in the host organism defense against bacterial and fungal infections. At the same time, upregulated synthesis of IL-17 cytokines is associated with immunoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and others. The members of this family are important therapeutic targets in the treatment of various human chronic inflammatory disorders. Elucidation of signaling pathways involving IL-17 family proteins and analysis of the structure of cytokine complexes with specific antibodies, inhibitors, and receptors are essential for the development of new drugs for the therapy of immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
Laccase belongs to the family of copper-containing oxidases. A study was made of the mechanism that sustains the incorporation of copper ions into the T2/T3 centers of recombinant two-domain laccase Streptomyces griseoflavus Ac-993. The occupancy of the T3 center by copper ions was found to increase with an increasing copper content in the culture medium and after dialysis of the protein preparation against a copper sulfate-containing buffer. The T2 center was filled only when overproducer strain cells were grown at a higher copper concentration in the medium. Two-domain laccases were assumed to possess a channel that serves to deliver copper ions to the T3 center during the formation of the three-dimensional laccase conformation and dialysis of the protein preparation. A narrower channel leads to the T2 center in two-domain laccases compared with three-domain ones, rendering the center less accessible for copper atoms. The incorporation of copper ions into the T2 center of two-domain laccases is likely to occur in the course of their biosynthesis or the formation of a functional trimer.

Abstract
The Gram-negative bacterium Lysobacter sp. XL1 secretes into the extracellular space five bacteriolytic enzymes that lyse the cell walls of competing microorganisms. Of special interest are homologous lytic proteases L1 and L5. This work found protein L5 to possess Gly-Gly endopeptidase and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-Ala amidase activities with respect to staphylococcal peptidoglycan. Protein L5 was found to be capable of aggregating into amyloid-like fibril structures. The crystal structure of protein L5 was determined at a 1.60-Å resolution. Protein L5 was shown to have a rather high structural identity with bacteriolytic protease L1 of Lysobacter sp. XL1 and α-lytic protease of Lysobacter enzymogenes at a rather low identity of their amino acid sequences. Still, the structure of protein L5 was revealed to have regions that differed from their equivalents in the homologs. The revealed structural distinctions in L5 are suggested to be of importance in exhibiting its unique properties.

Abstract
The L1 protuberance of the ribosome includes two domain ribosomal protein L1 and three helices of 23S rRNA (H76, H77, and H78) with interconnecting loops A and B. Helix 78 consists of two parts, i.e., H78a and H78b. A comparison of the available structural data of L1-RNA complexes with the obtained kinetic data made it possible to determine the influence of the nonconserved regions of Thermus thermophilus L1-protuberance on the mutual affinity of the L1 protein and 23S rRNA. It has been shown that the N-terminal helix of the protein and 78b helix of 23S rRNA are essential for the formation of an additional intermolecular contact, which is separated in the protein from the main site of L1-rRNA interaction by a flexible connection. This results in a rise in the TthL1-rRNA affinity. At the same time, the elongation of the 76 helix has no effect on rRNA-protein binding.

Abstract
The conserved two-domain ribosomal protein (r-protein) L1 is a structural part of the L1 stalk of the large ribosomal subunit and regulates the translation of the operon that comprises its own gene. The regulatory properties of the bacterial r-protein L1 have only been studied in detail for Escherichia coli; however, there were no such studies for other bacteria, in particular, Thermus thermophilus and Thermotoga maritima, which are more evolutionarily ancient. It is known that domain I of the r-protein L1 might have regulatory properties of the whole protein. The aim of this study was to identify regulatory sites on the mRNA of T. thermophilus and T. maritima that interact with r-proteins L1, as well as with their domains I from the same organisms. An analysis of the mRNA of the L11 operon T. thermophilus showed the presence of one potential binding site of the L1 r-protein, two such regions were found also in the mRNA sequence of the L11 operon of T. maritima. The dissociation constants for the L1 proteins from T. thermophilus and T. maritima and their domains I with mRNA fragments from the same organisms that contain the supposed L1-binding sites were determined by surface plasmon resonance. It has been shown that the ribosomal proteins L1 as their domains I bind specific fragments of mRNA from the same organisms that may suggest regulatory activity of the L1 protein in the T. thermophilus and T. maritima and conservatism of the principles of L1-RNA interactions.

Abstract
Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) is one of the most common copper-containing oxidases found in many organisms and catalyses oxidation of primarily phenolic compounds by oxygen. A recently found bacterial laccase whose molecule is formed by two domains - the so called two-domain laccase (2DLac) or small laccase - has unusual resistance to inhibitors and an alkaline optimum of activity. The causes of these properties, as well as the biological function of two-domain laccases, are poorly understood. We performed an enzymatic and structural characterization of 2DLac from Streptomyces viridochromogenes (SvSL). It was cloned and overproduced in Escherichia coli. Phenolic compounds were oxidized in the presence of the enzyme under alkaline but not acidic conditions. Conversely, nonphenolic compounds were oxidized at acidic but not alkaline pH. SvSL catalysed oxidation of nonphenolic compounds more efficiently than that of phenols. Moreover, this two-domain laccase displayed a cytochrome c oxidase activity and exhibited no ferroxidase activity. The enzyme was resistant to specific inhibitors of copper-containing oxidases, such as NaN3 and NaF. We succeeded in generating X-ray quality crystals and solved their structure to a resolution of 2.4 Å. SvSL is a homotrimer in its native state. Comparison of its structure with that of a three-domain laccase revealed differences in the second coordination sphere of the T2/T3 centre and solvent channels. The role of these differences in the resistance of the enzyme to inhibitors and the activity at alkaline pH is under discussion.

Abstract
Ribosomal protein L4 is a regulator of protein synthesis in the Escherichia coli S10 operon, which contains genes of 11 ribosomal proteins. In this work, we have investigated regulatory functions of ribosomal protein L4 of the thermophilic archaea Methanococcus jannaschii. The S10-like operon from M. jannaschii encodes not 11, but only five ribosomal proteins (L3, L4, L23, L2, S19), and the first protein is L3 instead of S10. We have shown that MjaL4 and its mutant form lacking an elongated loop specifically inhibit expression of the first gene of the S10-like operon from the same organism in a coupled transcription-translation system in vitro. By deletion analysis, an L4-binding regulatory site has been found on MjaL3 mRNA, and a fragment of mRNA with length of 40 nucleotides has been prepared that is necessary and sufficient for the specific interaction with the MjaL4 protein.

Abstract
Nine mutant forms of ribosomal proteins L1 from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus and the archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii were obtained. Their crystal structures were determined and analyzed. Earlier determined structure of S179C TthL1 was also thoroughly analyzed. Five from ten mutant proteins reveal essential changes of spatial structure caused by surface point mutation. It proves that for correct studies of biological processes by site-directed mutagenesis it is necessary to determine or at least to model spatial structures of mutant proteins. Detailed comparison of mutant L1 structures with that of corresponding wild type proteins reveals that side chain of a mutated amino acid residue tries to locate like the side chain of the original residue in the wild type protein. This observation helps to model the mutant structures.

Abstract
Crystal structures of unbound protein L1 and of its complexes with ribosomal an messenger RNAs are analyzed. It is shown that the values of the apparent association rate constant for L1-RNA depend on conformation of unbound protein L1. It is suggested that L1 binds to rRNA with higher affinity than to mRNA because of additional interactions between domain II of L1 and the loop rRNA region, which is absent in mRNA.

Abstract
The core ribosomal protein S8 binds to the central domain of 16S rRNA independently of other ribosomal proteins and is required for assembling the 30S subunit. It has been shown with E. coli ribosomes that a short rRNA fragment restricted by nucleotides 588-602 and 636-651 is sufficient for strong and specific protein S8 binding. In this work, we studied the complexes formed by ribosomal protein S8 from Thermus thermophilus and Methanococcus jannaschii with short rRNA fragments isolated from the same organisms. The dissociation constants of the complexes of protein S8 with rRNA fragments were determined. Based on the results of binding experiments, rRNA fragments of different length were designed and synthesized in preparative amounts in vitro using T7 RNA-polymerase. Stable S8-RNA complexes were crystallized. Crystals were obtained both for homologous bacterial and archaeal complexes and for hybrid complexes of archaeal protein with bacterial rRNA. Crystals of the complex of protein S8 from M. jannaschii with the 37-nucleotide rRNA fragment from the same organism suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained.

Abstract
Hybrid complexes of the ribosomal proteins, TL4 and TL5, from Thermus thermophilus with 5 S ribosomal RNA from Escherichia coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus have been prepared. There was no competition between the two proteins for the binding sites. Stoichiometry of 5 S RNA binding for both proteins was 1:1 (protein/RNA). The TL4 protein competed with the E. coli ribosomal L5 protein, and the TL5 protein competed with the E. coli ribosomal proteins, L18 and L25, for binding with 5 S RNA.
