Glycation-mediated inter-protein cross-linking is promoted by chaperone-client complexes of {alpha}-crystallin: Implications for lens aging and presbyopia [Glycobiology and Extracellular Matrices]

Lens proteins become increasingly cross-linked through nondisulfide linkages during aging and cataract formation. One mechanism that has been implicated in this cross-linking is glycation through formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Here, we found an age-associated increase in stiffness in human lenses that was directly correlated with levels of protein–cross-linking AGEs. α-Crystallin in the lens binds to other proteins and prevents their denaturation and aggregation through its chaperone-like activity. Using a FRET-based assay, we examined the stability of the αA-crystallin–γD-crystallin complex for up to 12 days and observed that this complex is stable in PBS and upon incubation with human lens–epithelial cell lysate or lens homogenate. Addition of 2 mm ATP to the lysate or homogenate did not decrease the stability of the complex. We also generated complexes of human αA-crystallin or αB-crystallin with alcohol dehydrogenase or citrate synthase by applying thermal stress. Upon glycation under physiological conditions, the chaperone–client complexes underwent greater extents of cross-linking than did uncomplexed protein mixtures. LC-MS/MS analyses revealed that the levels of cross-linking AGEs were significantly higher in the glycated chaperone–client complexes than in glycated but uncomplexed protein mixtures. Mouse lenses subjected to thermal stress followed by glycation lost resilience more extensively than lenses subjected to thermal stress or glycation alone, and this loss was accompanied by higher protein cross-linking and higher cross-linking AGE levels. These results uncover a protein cross-linking mechanism in the lens and suggest that AGE-mediated cross-linking of α-crystallin–client complexes could contribute to lens aging and presbyopia.

[ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered ] Open Question :  Am I a lesbian?

I'll try to keep this short: So I have always dated guys. Yet when I am not dating guys, my best friend and I; who's a girl, hook up. We've been doing this for about 5 years, we met at the age of 15, and 5 yrs later I had my first lesbian experience with her, and then 5 years it became a fairly regular thing. 5 years is obviously a long time. But when I'm not dating a guy, I always go back to her. And she's the only woman I have ever been with. That's why I am confused about this. I do not know if I'm straight or a lesbian?

AT#211 - Travel to Johannesburg, South Africa

The Amateur Traveler talks to Ilana Fayerman from Project Explorer about Johannesburg, South Africa. Project Explorer creates educational videos for kids and Ilana is one of the video hosts. She traveled to Johannesburg to meet its people, experience its culture and eat something very weird (see picture). She will take us on a virtual tour of neighborhoods like Newtown where she will introduce us to the New Market Theatre. She will take us into the township of Soweto. Out of the poverty of Soweto has come some of the hope of South Africa. It boasts the only street in the world (Vilakazi Street) to have produced two winners of the Nobel Peace prize. Ilana will also tell us which game animal is the tastiest and what happens when you put too much Chakalaka on your pap. We will dance in gum boots, take a safari to KwaZulu-Natal, learn when you can join a drum circle, lunch with art and visit the cradle of Human Kind.

Mutations in ArgS arginine-tRNA synthetase confer additional antibiotic-tolerance protection to ESBL-producing Burkholderia thailandensis [Mechanisms of Resistance]

Highly conserved PenI-type class A β-lactamase in pathogenic members of Burkholderia can evolve to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), which exhibits hydrolytic activity towards third-generation cephalosporins, while losing its activity towards the original penicillin substrates. We describe three single-amino-acid-substitution mutations in the ArgS arginine-tRNA synthetase that confer extra antibiotic tolerance protection to ESBL-producing Burkholderia thailandensis. This pathway can be exploited to evade antibiotic tolerance induction in developing therapeutic measures against Burkholderia species, targeting their essential aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Pharmacodynamics of Cefepime Combined with the Novel Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) Inhibitor Enmetazobactam for Murine Pneumonia caused by ESBL-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae [Pharmacology]

Klebsiella pneumoniae that produce extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are a persistent public health threat. There are relatively few therapeutic options and there is undue reliance on carbapenems. Alternative therapeutic options are urgently required. A combination of cefepime and the novel beta lactamase inhibitor enmetazobactam is being developed for treatment of serious infections caused by ESBL-producing organisms. The pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) of cefepime-enmetazobactam against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae was studied in a neutropenic murine pneumonia model. Dose ranging studies were performed. Dose fractionation studies were performed to define the relevant PD index for the inhibitor. The partitioning of cefepime and enmetazobactam into the lung was determined by comparing area under the concentration time curve (AUC) in plasma and epithelial lining fluid. The magnitude of drug exposure for cefepime-enmetazobactam required for logarithmic killing in the lung was defined using 3 ESBL-producing strains. Cefepime 100 mg/kg q8h i.v. had minimal antimicrobial effect. When this background regimen of cefepime was combined with enmetazobactam half-maximal effect was induced with enmetazobactam 4.71 mg/kg q8h i.v. The dose fractionation study suggest both fT>threshold and fAUC:MIC are potentially relevant PD indices. The AUCELF:AUCplasma for cefepime and enmetazobactam was 73.4% and 61.5%, respectively. A ≥2-log kill in the lung was achieved with a plasma and ELF cefepime fT>MIC of ≥20% and enmetazobactam fT>2 mg/L of ≥20% of the dosing interval. These data and analyses provide the underpinning evidence for the combined use of cefepime and enmetazobactam for nosocomial pneumonia.

It's about time film began representing the lesbian gaze

In Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire, we finally steer away from seeing intimacy through the male gaze

The portrayal of lesbians in mainstream cinema tends to involve prosthetic vaginas and gratuitous sex scenes; so Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire comes as a breath of fresh air. It is the story of the burgeoning relationship between two young women – emancipated artist Marianne (Noémie Merlant), who is commissioned to paint a portrait of sexually repressed Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), leading to a heated romance.

On paper, it looks like the classic lesbian cinematic narrative – there is a buildup of tension, they finally kiss, and then their possibility of a future together seems doomed. However, what makes Portrait of a Lady on Fire different is its heightened self-awareness. The film is constructed with lesbian representation in mind through careful interrogation of the lesbian gaze. There is a lot of looking. Marianne looks at Héloïse because she has to secretly paint her, and Héloïse looks at Marianne out of curiosity. Eventually, there is a shift in the way they start looking at each other – out of desire.
