Scientists Genetically Engineer Tomatoes with Enhanced Folate Content

Research could provide vital daily nutritional requirement
Scientists have discovered how to enhance tomatoes with folate, an essential nutrient.

Leafy greens and beans aren't the only foods that pack a punch of folate, the vitamin essential for a healthy start to pregnancy.
Researchers now have used genetic engineering--manipulating an organism's genes--to make tomatoes with a full day's worth of the nutrient in a single serving. The scientists published their results in this week's online edition of the journal PNAS, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This could potentially be beneficial worldwide," said Andrew Hanson, a plant biochemist at the University of Florida at Gainesville who developed the tomato along with colleague Jesse Gregory. "Now that we've shown it works in tomatoes, we can work on applying it to cereals and crops for less developed countries where folate deficiencies are a very serious problem."
Folate is one of the most vital nutrients for the human body's growth and development, which is why folate-rich diets are typically suggested for women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant. Without it, cell division would not be possible because the nutrient plays an essential role in both the production of nucleotides--the building blocks of DNA--and many other essential metabolic processes.
Deficiencies of the nutrient have been linked to birth defects, slow growth rates and other developmental problems in children, as well as numerous health issues in adults, such as anemia.
"Folate deficiency is a major nutritional deficiency, especially in the developing world," said Parag Chitnis, program director in the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, which funded the research. "This research provides the proof-of-concept for the natural addition of folate to diet through enhancement of the folate content of fruits and vegetables."
The vitamin is commonly found in leafy green vegetables like spinach, but few people eat enough produce to get the suggested amount of folate. So, in 1998, the Food and Drug Administration made it mandatory that many grain productssuch as rice, flour and cornmeal be enriched with a synthetic form of folate known as folic acid.
Folate deficiencies remain a problem in many underdeveloped countries, however, where adding folic acid is impractical or simply too expensive.
"There are even folate deficiency issues in Europe, where addition of folic acid to foods has not been very widely practiced," Gregory said. "Theoretically, you could bypass this whole problem by ensuring that the folate is already present in the food."
Will doctors be recommending a healthy dose of salsa for would-be pregnant women anytime soon? Probably not, the researchers say.
"It can take years to get a genetically-engineered food plant approved by the FDA," Hanson said. "But before that is even a question, there are many more studies to be done--including a better look at how the overall product is affected by this alteration."
And there is another hurdle the researchers must clear. Boosting the production of folate in tomatoes involved increasing the level of another chemical in the plant, pteridine. Little is known about this chemical, which is found in virtually all fruits and vegetables.

Taste stimuli are in discrete regions in the brain

Dear All
Sweet Here, Salty There: Evidence for a Taste Map in the Mammalian Brain
A paper published this week in Science presents a new picture of how taste isencoded in the mouse gustatory cortex, the region of the brain devoted toprocessing taste stimuli.
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/333/6047/1213[http://app.aaas-science.org/e/er.aspx?s=1906&lid=6794&elq=350bec4c3e3d4bb49af91949db47e384]
Following the finding a decade ago that the localisation of sensors (gustatory receptors) reside in particular parts of the tongue for different types of taste, this paper reports use of optical imaging techniques to detect similar presence of loci in the brain to interpret them.

"Non-covalent Interactions"

An untitled artistic photo by Shahar Keinan, postdoctoral research associate, chemistry department, Duke University.
Non-covalent interactions hold the key to understanding many biological and technological problems. Very recently, researchers in the Yang Research Group at Duke introduced a new approach that's based solely on the electron density and its derivatives. The approach enables visualization of the intricate balance of interactions that stabilize a ligand in its active site.

This figure shows the results of the Yang group's new method for the V5X ligand in the active site of HDAC8 protein. Blue indicates strong, attractive interactions; green stands for van der Waals; and red indicates strong, non-bonded overlap. The top-left oval insert (A) shows the van der Waals surface between the ligand and the phenyl ring of Phe139. The top-right oval insert (B) shows the hydrogen bond between the ligand and His140. And the lower-right oval insert (C) shows the stabilization of the Zn2+ ion interaction with the protein and ligand. As a whole, the group's new method clearly highlights how a ligand "fits" the geometry of the active site and the many small contributions that add up to determine the interaction energy between the ligand and protein.

DNA Caught Rock 'N Rollin': On Rare Occasions DNA Dances Itself Into a Different Shape

ScienceDaily (Jan. 29, 2011) — DNA, that marvelous, twisty molecule of life, has an alter ego, research at the University of Michigan and the University of California, Irvine reveals.

On rare occasions, its building blocks "rock and roll," deforming the familiar double helix into a different shape.

"We show that the simple DNA double helix exists in an alternative form -- for one percent of the time -- and that this alternative form is functional," said Hashim M. Al-Hashimi, who is the Robert L. Kuczkowski Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Biophysics at U-M. "Together, these data suggest that there are multiple layers of information stored in the genetic code." The findings were published online Jan. 26 in the journal Nature.

It's been known for some time that the DNA molecule can bend and flex, something like a rope ladder, but throughout these gyrations its building blocks -- called bases -- remain paired up just the way they were originally described by James Watson and Francis Crick, who proposed the spiral-staircase structure in 1953. By adapting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, Al-Hashimi's group was able to observe transient, alternative forms in which some steps on the stairway come apart and reassemble into stable structures other than the typical Watson-Crick base pairs.

The question was, what were these alternative stable structures?

"Using NMR, we were able to access the chemical shifts of this alternative form," said graduate student Evgenia Nikolova. "These chemical shifts are like fingerprints that tell us something about the structure." Through careful analysis, Nikolova realized the "fingerprints" were typical of an orientation in which certain bases are flipped 180 degrees.

"It's like taking half of the stairway step and flipping it upside down so that the other face now points up," said Al-Hashimi. "If you do this, you can still put the two halves of the step back together, but now what you have is no longer a Watson-Crick base pair; it's something called a Hoogsteen base pair."

"Using computational modeling, we further validated that individual bases can roll over inside the double helix to achieve these Hoogsteen base pairs," said Ioan Andricioaei, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of California, Irvine.

Hoogsteen base pairs have previously been observed in double-stranded DNA, but only when the molecule is bound to proteins or drugs or when the DNA is damaged. The new study shows that even under normal circumstances, with no outside influence, certain sections of DNA tend to briefly morph into the alternative structure, called an "excited state."

Previous studies of DNA structure have relied mainly on techniques such as X-ray and conventional NMR, which can't detect such fleeting or rare structural changes.

"These methods do not capture alternative DNA structural forms that may exist for only a millisecond or in very little abundance, such as one percent of the time," said Al-Hashimi. "We took new solution NMR methods that previously have been used to study rare deformations in proteins and adapted them so that they could be used to study rare states in nucleic acids. Now that we have the right tools to look at these so-called excited states, we may find other short-lived states in DNA and RNA."

Because critical interactions between DNA and proteins are thought to be directed by both the sequence of bases and the flexing of the molecule, these excited states represent a whole new level of information contained in the genetic code, Al-Hashimi said.

In addition to Al-Hashimi, Nikolova and Andricioaei, the paper's authors are undergraduate student Abigail Wise and assistant professor of biological chemistry Patrick O'Brien of U-M and postdoctoral researcher Eunae Kim of the University of California, Irvine.

The researchers received funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the University of Michigan.

Science of Shopping: Cameras & Software That Track Our Shopping Behavior

Anything possible by software:

Next time you go to a store, take a minute to look at all the things that are trying to grab your attention. With so many products available and so many stores and websites, how do you decide what to buy and where to shop? Whether it's convenience, good service or finding the best deals, store owners want to know what attracts you to their stores, and what it takes to keep you coming back. Turns out, there's a science to all this.

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), computer scientists Rajeev Sharma, Satish Mummareddy and their colleagues have developed software that breaks down shopping behavior much like websites do. Sharma's company, VideoMining, uses overhead cameras to put together a top down view of how people shop and what they buy.

"Basically, what VideoMining does is use software along with cameras mounted on the ceiling of stores to track shoppers as they move around the store and create data that helps us understand how shoppers are shopping," explains Sharma. The software creates maps of a store's traffic patterns by digitally analyzing the video. Using the traffic data, VideoMining creates charts and graphs showing well travelled areas in a store and dead spots-–places people ignore. The software also can tabulate how long shoppers take before that "moment of truth" when they select an item to purchase. Cameras are positioned directly above and picture resolution is intentionally set low so all shoppers remain anonymous.

"You cannot identify individual shoppers," says Sharma. "The computer is actually watching the video and generating numbers that represent [each] shopper's behavior. It's all about capturing human behavior so you can really understand it over a long period of time."

The idea is to show retailers and manufacturers the best areas in the store to place products, and how to create a comfortable place for people to shop. "By providing the data to retailers and manufacturers," says Sharma, "they can customize and design the stores and the shelves and the products to match the shoppers' interest."

Sharma identifies trends. For example, people prefer wider aisles when they shop. Women take a lot longer to shop than men, and, except in a few cases, brand loyalty is not always strong. "What we're finding in some categories, people are going to the store and making up their mind right there. You can see people coming in, going between brands and picking up the product based upon price; based upon other attributes."

The software was initially created to monitor the elderly and disabled in their homes. Now it's keeping an eye on shoppers, giving businesses a scientific leg up in the rat race of figuring out how to best serve their customers and keep them coming back.

NCBI Database Shut Down Averted

Dear all,

Thanks to interim funding, the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s Sequence Read Archive and Trace Archive databases will continue for now.

With interim funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) will continue to accept submissions and maintain the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and Trace Archive repositories.
Earlier this year, the NCBI announced that these repositories for high-throughput sequence data would be discontinued due to budgetary constraints. However, because several large-scale NIH projects depend on SRA and Trace Archive, the NIH has provided funding for these resources until 1 October 2011.
“A small number of large projects dominate the cost for SRA, and the NIH institutes that handle those projects are arranging to either provide direct funding to NCBI for the SRA costs associated with the projects, or they are making alternative arrangements for the data,” NCBI user support representative Monica Romiti told BioTechniques in an e-mail.
In addition, NCBI now plans to continue archiving a subset of next-generation sequencing data after the interim funding expires, including:

• RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and epigenomic data submitted to Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).
• Genomic and transcriptomic assemblies submitted to GenBank.
• 16S Ribosomal RNA data associated with metagenomics submitted to GenBank.

Meanwhile, the third NCBI database that was scheduled to be discontinued has not found similar support. The NCBI has already phased out the Peptidome Repository for mass spectrometry-based proteomics data sets and no longer accepts further submissions.
In contrast, the NCBI’s international collaborators, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory–European Bioinformatics Institute and the DNA Data Bank of Japan, have restated their plans to continue archiving raw sequencing data for the foreseeable future.
