    Abstract: Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) regulates a wide spectrum of human physiology through the 5-HT receptor family. We report the crystal structures of the human 5-HT 1B G protein–coupled receptor bound to the agonist antimigraine medications ergotamine and dihydroergotamine. The structures reveal similar binding modes for these ligands, which occupy the orthosteric pocket and an extended binding pocket close to the extracellular loops. The orthosteric pocket is formed by residues conserved in the 5-HT receptor family, clarifying the family-wide agonist activity of 5-HT. Compared with the structure of the 5-HT 2B receptor, the 5-HT 1B receptor displays a 3 angstrom outward shift at the extracellular end of helix V, resulting in a more open extended pocket that explains subtype selectivity. Together with docking and mutagenesis studies, these structures provide a comprehensive structural basis for understanding receptor-ligand interactions and designing subtype-selective serotonergic drugs.

    Large-scale ruminant genome sequencing provides insights into their evolution and distinct traits

    Abstract: The ruminants are one of the most successful mammalian lineages, exhibiting morphological and habitat diversity and containing several key livestock species. To better understand their evolution, we generated and analyzed de novo assembled genomes of 44 ruminant species, representing all six Ruminantia families. We used these genomes to create a time-calibrated phylogeny to resolve topological controversies, overcoming the challenges of incomplete lineage sorting. Population dynamic analyses show that population declines commenced between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, which is concomitant with expansion in human populations. We also reveal genes and regulatory elements that possibly contribute to the evolution of the digestive system, cranial appendages, immune system, metabolism, body size, cursorial locomotion, and dentition of the ruminants.

    Abstract: Emerging evidence reveals that ribosomes are not monolithic but dynamic machines with heterogeneous protein compositions that can reshape ribosomal translational abilities and cellular adaptation to environmental changes. Duplications of ribosomal protein (RP) genes are ubiquitous among organisms and are believed to affect cell function through paralog-specific regulation (e.g., by generating heterogeneous ribosomes) and/or gene dose amplification. However, direct evaluations of their impacts on cell function remain elusive due to the highly heterogeneous cellular RP pool. Here, we engineered a yeast with homogeneous 40S RP paralog compositions, designated homo-40S, by deleting the entire set of alternative duplicated genes encoding yeast 40S RP paralogs. Homo-40S displayed mild growth defects along with high sensitivity to the translation inhibitor paromomycin and a significantly increased stop codon readthrough. Moreover, doubling of the remaining RP paralogous genes in homo-40S rescued these phenotypes markedly, although not fully, compared to the wild-type phenotype, indicating that the dose of 40S RP genes together with the heterogeneity of the contents was vital for maintaining normal translational functionalities and growth robustness. Additional experiments revealed that homo-40S improved paromomycin tolerance via acquisition of bypass mutations or evolved to be diploid to generate fast-growing derivatives, highlighting the mutational robustness of engineered yeast to accommodate environmental and genetic changes. In summary, our work demonstrated that duplicated RP paralogs impart robustness and phenotypic plasticity through both gene dose amplification and paralog-specific regulation, paving the way for the direct study of ribosome biology through monotypic ribosomes with a homogeneous composition of specific RP paralogs.

    Deep functional analysis of synII, a 770-kilobase synthetic yeast chromosome

    Abstract: Here, we report the successful design, construction, and characterization of a 770-kilobase synthetic yeast chromosome II (synII). Our study incorporates characterization at multiple levels—including phenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, chromosome segregation, and replication analysis—to provide a thorough and comprehensive analysis of a synthetic chromosome. Our Trans-Omics analyses reveal a modest but potentially relevant pervasive up-regulation of translational machinery observed in synII, mainly caused by the deletion of 13 transfer RNAs. By both complementation assays and SCRaMbLE (synthetic chromosome rearrangement and modification by loxP -mediated evolution), we targeted and debugged the origin of a growth defect at 37°C in glycerol medium, which is related to misregulation of the high-osmolarity glycerol response. Despite the subtle differences, the synII strain shows highly consistent biological processes comparable to the native strain.
