  • A decade of progress in understanding the structural basis of protein synthesis

    • The key reaction of protein synthesis, peptidyl transfer, is catalysed in all living organisms by the ribosome - an advanced and highly efficient molecular machine. During the last decade extensive X-ray crystallographic and NMR studies of the three-dimensional structure of ribosomal proteins, ribosomal RNA components and their complexes with ribosomal proteins, and of several translation factors in different functional states have taken us to a new level of understanding of the mechanism of function of the protein synthesis machinery. Among the new remarkable features revealed by structural studies, is the mimicry of the tRNA molecule by elongation factor G, ribosomal recycling factor and the eukaryotic release factor 1. Several other translation factors, for which three-dimensional structures are not yet known, are also expected to show some form of tRNA mimicry. The efforts of several crystallographic and biochemical groups have resulted in the determination by X-ray crystallography of the structures of the 30S and 50S subunits at moderate resolution, and of the structure of the 70S subunit both by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (EM). In addition, low resolution cryo-EM models of the ribosome with different translation factors and tRNA have been obtained. The new ribosomal models allowed for the first time a clear identification of the functional centres of the ribosome and of the binding sites for tRNA and ribosomal proteins with known three-dimensional structure. The new structural data have opened a way for the design of new experiments aimed at deeper understanding at an atomic level of the dynamics of the system.

  • The role of Fusobacterium necrophorum in pharyngotonsillitis – A review
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Anaerobe. - : Elsevier BV. - 1075-9964. ; 42, s. 89-97
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Fusobacterium necrophorum is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium that is the causative agent of the invasive disease Lemierre's syndrome. In addition, it is also associated with peritonsillar abscess formation and otitis media in small children. Recent research has shown that F. necrophorum may be involved in pharyngotonsillitis especially in adolescent and young adults and that it may be the second most common bacterial cause of pharyngotonsillitis after Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococci). Peritonsillar abscesses and Lemierre's syndrome due to F. necrophorum are also found in this age group, suggesting that they may be complications of F. necrophorum pharyngotonsillitis. In this review we present the present knowledge about the role of F. necrophorum in pharyngotonsillitis with special emphasis on the age distribution. We argue that F. necrophorum is an important pathogen involved in pharyngotonsillitis in the age group of 13–40 years of age and we urge clinical microbiology labs to set up the appropriate techniques to be able to detect F. necrophorum from throat swabs.

  • Is tRNA binding or tRNA mimicry mandatory for translation factors?
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Current Protein and Peptide Science. - 1875-5550. ; 3:1, s. 133-141
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • tRNA is the adaptor in the translation process. The ribosome has three sites for tRNA, the: A-, P-, and E-sites. The tRNAs bridge between the ribosomal subunits with the decoding site and the mRNA on the small or 30S subunit and the peptidyl transfer site on the large or 50S subunit. The possibility that, translation release factors could mimic tRNA has been discussed for a long time, since their function is very similar to that of tRNA. They identify stop codons of the mRNA presented in the decoding site and hydrolyse the nascent peptide from the peptidyl tRNA in the peptidyl transfer site. The structures of eubacterial release factors are not yet known, and the first example of tRNA mimicry was discovered when elongation factor G (EF-G) was found to have a closely similar shape to a complex of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) with aminoacyl-tRNA. An even closer imitation of the tRNA shape is seen in ribosome recycling factor (RRF). The number of proteins mimicking tRNA is rapidly increasing. This primarily concerns translation factors. It is now evident that in some sense they are either tRNA mimics, GTPases or possibly both.

  • New Technologies for DNA analysis-A review of the READNA Project.
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: New Biotechnology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1876-4347 .- 1871-6784.
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The REvolutionary Approaches and Devices for Nucleic Acid analysis (READNA) project received funding from the European Commission for 4 1/2 years. The objectives of the project revolved around technological developments in nucleic acid analysis. The project partners have discovered, created and developed a huge body of insights into nucleic acid analysis, ranging from improvements and implementation of current technologies to the most promising sequencing technologies that constitute a 3(rd) and 4(th) generation of sequencing methods with nanopores and in situ sequencing, respectively.
