A Possible overestimation of the effect of acetylation on lysin residues in KQ mutant analysis

Lysine acetylation is one of the most common protein post transcriptional modifications. The acetylation effects of lysine residues on Ku protein were examined herein applying several computer simulation techniques. Acetylation of the lysine residues did not reduce the affinity between Ku and its substrate, DNA, in spite of the fact that the substitution of lysine with glutamine (KQ mutant) reduced the affinity of Ku for DNA, or the substitution of lysine with arginine (KR mutant) did not reduce it, as previously reported in experimental studies. These results suggest that the effects of in vivo acetylation may be overestimated when the KQ mutant is employed in mimicry of the acetylated protein.

TiCrV hydrogen storage alloy studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy

We have studied the degradation process of TiCrV hydrogen storage alloy alloy using positron annihilation spectroscopy. As the hydrogen storage capacity decreased with the number of pressure swing cycles, positron lifetime increased. The increase in positron lifetime is due to the volume expansion caused by hydride formation. After degassing at 500 $$^{circ}$$C, the hydrogen storage capacity recovered to the initial level. However, the positron lifetime was still longer than the initial level suggesting the survival of dislocations. The degradation of hydrogen storage capacity is probably caused by both hydride formation and the generation of dislocations.

Positron lifetime study on degradation of TiCrV hydrogen storage alloy

Using positron lifetime spectroscopy, we examined the evolution of defects in the Ti$$_{24}$$Cr$$_{36}$$V$$_{40}$$ alloy prepared by the arc-melting method during hydriding cycles. After one hydriding cycle dislocations were responsible for positron trapping. The dislocation-related lifetime showed no significant change with increasing the hydriding cycle suggesting that the dislocation density is well above the dynamic range of positron trapping rate. After 20 hydriding cycles, prolonged lifetime components (0.4-0.5 ns and 1.9-2 ns) were obtained. These lifetimes were nearly constant during the further hydriding cycles while their intensities increased. Vacancy defects were generated and slowly developed to microvoids during the hydriding cycles. After 200 hydriding cycles the rechargeable hydrogen capacity decreased to 90% relative to the initial amount. It is thus inferred that the reduction of rechargeable hydrogen capacity is partly caused by the formation of microvoids and dislocations.

Application of real time PCR for the quantitative detection of radiation-induced genomic DNA strand breaks

Yamauchi, Emiko*; Watanabe, Ritsuko; Oikawa, Miyoko*; Fujimoto, Hirofumi*; Yamada, Akinori*; Saito, Kimiaki; Murakami, Masahiro*; Hashido, Kazuo*; Tsuchida, Kozo*; Takada, Naoko*; et al.

Journal of Insect Biotechnology and Sericology, 77(1), p.17 - 24, 2008/02

The frequency of single strand breaks (SSBs) occurring on both strands of the pBR322 plasmid DNA region flanked by a pair of primers used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications was determined after irradiation with $$^{137}$$Cs $$gamma$$-rays. We refined that real time PCR is suitable for the detection and quantitative analysis of SSBs caused by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation. The utility of this approach was also supported by the comparison of the practical experimental data with the Monte Carlo simulation. The potential application of this PCR method for the detection of genomic DNA damage was also confirmed.

Molecular dynamics simulation of clustered DNA damage sites containing 8-oxoguanine and abasic site

Clustered DNA damage sites induced by ionizing radiation have been suggested to have serious consequences to organisms. In this study, approaches based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation have been applied to examine conformational changes and energetic properties of DNA molecules containing clustered damage sites consisting of 2 lesioned sites, 8-oxoG and AP site. After 1 nanosecond of MD simulation, one of the 6 DNA molecules containing a clustered damage site develop specific characteristic features: sharp bending at the lesioned site and weakening or complete loss of electrostatic interaction energy between 8-oxoG and bases locating on the complementary strand. From these results it is suggested that these changes would make it difficult for the repair enzyme to bind to the lesions within the clustered damage site and thereby result in a reduction of its repair capacity.
