Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a critically important technique in biomedical research with a unique ability to detect naturally occurring or engineered unpaired electrons in complex biological environments. I focus on the development of three technical and method developments that significantly improve X-band EPR sensitivity for three classes of samples: small to medium-sized (0.1–3 nl) protein single crystals, volume-limited frozen samples (85 nl), and microfluidic (500 nl) with microfluidic sample handling. The combination of these prototypes will be easy to use and widely available to the scientific community, enabling a wide range of new applications in biomedical EPR spectroscopy.

G-protein-coupled receptors are a large and diverse class of cell surface receptors responsible for regulating nearly every physiological process in the human body and are therefore important targets for drug development. In this project, we aim to elucidate the molecular basis for modulation of β2-adrenergic receptor signaling by two post-translational modifications (PTMs), glycosylation and palmitoylation, using a complementary combination of continuous-wave and pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance techniques and functional assays. By detailing the effects of these PTMs on the conformational landscape, the results from these studies will provide insight into the understudied yet critical role of these PTMs as regulators of receptor signaling, thereby increasing researchers' ability to rationally design drugs to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

New and effective preventive agents for lung cancer are urgently needed. Selectively inhibiting cancer cell mitochondrial bioenergetics is a novel preventive strategy for lung cancer that has a great potential. By modifying lonidamine (LON), we created the mitochondria-targeted agent, Mito-LON, as a new, safe and potent preventive agent that robustly inhibits bioenergetics and induces autophagic cell death of cancer cells. We will systematically and thoroughly evaluate the chemopreventive potential of Mito-LON using both in vitro and in vivo models of lung cancer and determine its primary mechanism(s) of action.

Endotoxin, or lipopolysaccharide, from important disease-causing bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa induces severe septic shock in humans and can quickly lead to inflammatory disease and/or death. Endotoxin is required for the survival of these bacteria, thus the proteins and interactions involved in its transport within the bacterium are exciting potential new targets for novel antibiotics. The aim of this project is to use structural biology and microbiology assays to obtain a detailed understanding of how the endotoxin-transport proteins move endotoxin within the cell as a foundation for the future development of inventive antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a variety of bacterial genera deliver effectors directly into host cells via a specialized injection system. Effectors encode toxic enzymatic activities that cause cell death or dysfunction leading to pathology, tissue destruction and poor outcomes for infected individuals. The long-term goals of this research are to identify how a host encoded cofactor, ubiquitin, interacts with the P. aeruginosa effector, ExoU. Mapping this interface will provide information needed to design inhibitors that may be active against a variety of bacteria, most of which are highly resistant to antibiotics.

Chemoprevention of precancerous growths in the lung from progressing to cancer and inhibiting NSCLC's metastasis using novel, potent chemopreventive agents are important strategies to reduce NSCLC mortality. Honokiol (HNK), an active ingredient of the extract of Magnolia bark long popular in traditional Asian medicines, has cancer chemopreventive properties. Here we design a new mitochondria-targeted compound (called Mito- HNK) based on HNK’s structure to facilitate its delivery to mitochondria. We will evaluate the chemopreventive potential of Mito-HNK using both in vitro and in vivo models of lung adenocarcinoma and determine its mechanism of action. At the conclusion of these studies, we will have determined the efficacy of Mito-HNK for inhibiting lung adenocarcinoma progression and metastasis and its suitability for human clinical trials.

The research in this study, which used novel state-of-the-art enhancements to a biophysical spectroscopic technique to enable the study of protein structure and functional dynamics, will lead to a better understanding of the physiology of disease processes such as cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases; cystic fibrosis; diabetes; obesity; behavioral, neurological, and psychiatric disorders; Alzheimer's disease; and cancer. This research will also contribute to the development of novel antibiotics and cancer therapeutic agents, and to the design of safer and more effective drugs targeting a broad spectrum of diseases. Additional avenues of research are expected to be uncovered once the success of the initially proposed projects is evident, fostering further opportunities for new interdisciplinary science.

Cataracts are a major cause of blindness throughout the world. At present, surgery is the only effective treatment. The reason for the onset of cataracts is unknown, but a great deal of evidence suggests that the presence of high cholesterol and cholesterol bilayer domains in the eye lens helps to maintain transparency and prevent cataract formation. The goal of this study was to understand how fiber-cell plasma membranes in the lens, in particular their lipid bilayer portion, change during aging and cataract formation so that alternative strategies for preventing, slowing the progression, and curing cataracts can be devised and evaluated.

Alcohol consumption has been implicated in a multitude of human diseases including alcoholic liver disease (ALD), liver cancer, myocardial fibrosis/infarction, pancreatitis, and disorders of the immune, endocrine and reproductive systems and estimated to cost annually over 1.5 billion dollars in the U.S. in terms of lost productivity and cost of health management. This study will advance our understanding of ALD and critical molecular targets affected. A combination of subcellular targeting of antioxidants and enzyme inhibitors and use of humanized mouse models should provide novel insights into the mechanism of the disease and also lead to development of clinically important drugs for treating or reversing the alcohol liver damage.

There is a paucity of effective treatments for cerebral palsy and this proposal tested a promising strategy aimed at a preventive cure for this disease. The studies tested the ways at which a vitamin-like co-factor is involved in brain injury. Using surrogate markers of magnetic resonance imaging, this study examined what happens to brain cells in the early critical phase of injury, which seems to determine the eventual course of events leading to movement disorders of cerebral palsy.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, and is particularly problematic for patients who are immunosuppressed or require mechanical ventilation. P. aeruginosa persists chronically in cystic fibrosis patients, resulting in irreversible lung damage and mortality. The infectivity of P. aeruginosa is significantly enhanced by the Type III secreted toxin, ExoU. Our biochemical and biophysical studies of ExoU were designed to understand its molecular mechanism of activation, facilitating the development of novel inhibitors to reduce tissue damage or sepsis due to P. aeruginosa infection.

Molecular dynamics occur in all biological molecules across a wide range of motional frequencies, some of which are central to biological function. The nitroxide-radical spin-label method, based on EPR, is suitable for the study of molecular dynamics, including dynamics with characteristic motional periods of a millisecond to a microsecond that are biologically relevant. The study applied a new EPR spectrometer with many innovative features and that operates at the high microwave frequency of 94 GHz to characterize cholesterol-mediated lipid interactions in membranes as a function of cholesterol content and temperature.

Multidrug resistance is a serious problem in medicine, not only in the often futile treatment of infectious diseases, but also in the treatment of cancer patients. In addition, because of the close similarity of MsbA with other ABC transporters implicated in various common genetic disorders such as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, any new functional information gained by studying the easily purified MsbA is beneficial to our understanding of structure-function relationships in this very important class of integral membrane proteins. The similarity of MsbA to so many proteins in its general class, and its prevalence in pathogenic bacteria, creates an opportunity for the detailed study of this transporter that will add to our fundamental knowledge of an entire class of potential novel drug targets.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Effective treatment to intervene the progression of neurodegenerative processes in PD remains unavailable. Using a cell culture and a mouse model of PD, we developed a "mitochondria-targeted" antioxidant-based neuroprotective strategy for treating PD. These studies, which brought together chemical and neuropharmacological expertise from two institutions (Medical College of Wisconsin and Iowa State University), helped us develop efficacious mitochondria-targeted antioxidants for treatment of PD as well as understand the possible neuroprotective mechanisms of these novel class of agents.

This application was for an upgrade to Q-band for our current Bruker X-band E580 pulse spectrometer capable of running DEER (double electron-electron resonance), DQC (double quantum coherence), and ENDOR (electron nuclear double resonance) experiments at cryogenic temperatures. The primary use of both the current and upgraded instrument are to quantitate distance measurements between paramagnetic probes on or within biomedically relevant proteins. The major advantages of upgrading to Q-band (35 GHz) DEER from X-band (9 GHz) DEER are a >10-fold increase in sensitivity and overall higher quality distance data. The improvement in resolution, accuracy, identification, signal intensity and the collection of longer distances are of considerable benefit to an array of biological projects.

The prevalence of multi-drug resistant infections is one of the most serious problems in health care, both in the United States and worldwide, leading to increased treatment costs and a growing incidence of treatment failure. There is a critical need for the development of new antibiotics, and in particular for new classes of compounds that target non-traditional sites other than cell-wall synthesis and the bacterial ribosome. Antimicrobial peptides, which display remarkable efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics, offer a novel approach to the treatment of drug-resistant infections. Developing a more complete understanding of the interactions of antimicrobial peptides with their target cells will enhance our ability to design and develop more effective peptide and peptidomimetic antibiotics.

The goal of this study was to disentangle the cellular effects of nitric oxide from the direct effects of S-nitrosothiols to more fully understand how these species affect cellular function. Importantly, these studies will point to a role of S-nitrosothiols formation not simply as "carriers" of nitric oxide bioactivity but as a distinct bifurcation in nitric oxide signaling pathways.

EPR 2007 was a joint conference of the 12th In Vivo EPR Spectroscopy and Imaging meeting and the 9th International EPR Spin Trapping/Spin Labeling meeting. It was held April 29 through May 3, 2007, in Chicago, Illinois, at the the Hilton Suites Chicago/Magnificent Mile. The meeting was sponsored by the Department of Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology at the University of Chicago. The conference was an international workshop that brought together a community of scientists who apply the technique of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to problems intimately related to human physiology and pathophysiology. The primary focus of the meeting was on the use of magnetic resonance technology to investigate the fundamental mechanisms related to technology and structural biology, oxidate cell signaling, and biomedicine. Sessions provided a balance between studies of biological systems and advances in methodology. This helped strengthen the program and promote the effectiveness of science in the United States and around the world. In addition to other invited institutions, all of the NIH-funded EPR centers participated: National EPR Center (Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI), EPR Center for the Study of Viable Systems (Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH), and Center for EPR Imaging in In Vivo Physiology (University of Chicago, Chicago, IL). The EPR Group at the National Cancer Institute also participated in the conference. The meeting also aimed to attract a significant number of participants from other countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America.

The broad long-term objectives of this project are to understand the direct and indirect mechanisms by which human copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (hSOD1) mutants associated with familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease cause selective toxicity to motor neurons. The goal of this study was to merge the oxidation and aggregation hypotheses in ALS SOD1-dependent toxicity using isolated hSOD1 proteins, and explore ceramide-induced oxidant signaling in G93A-transfected cells, and G93A mutant mice. Understanding the molecular basis of ALS SOD1 mutant toxicity will help improve overall strategies for developing effective drug therapy for ALS. The use of state-of-the-art analytical techniques coupled with syntheses of mitochondria-targeted spin probes and fluorescent probes should yield new insights on the molecular mechanism for increased toxicity of ALS SOD1 mutants in motor neuron cells.

Mitochondria are components of cells that perform many functions critical for life and are known for being the "power plant" of the cells. The mitochondria have their own life cycle with a mechanism to destroy damaged mitochondria that involves a splitting event that separates a healthy daughter mitochondrion from an unhealthy one that is subsequently removed by the cell. This study will illuminate mechanistic details of these processes and represents an important step towards the discovery of new therapeutic strategies for both rare and common human diseases, including cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, aging, and neonatal lethality syndrome.

Ligand-gated ion channels are proteins that reside in the membranes of all nerve cells. These proteins form channels through the membrane to allow neurons to signal one another at synapses, and thus regulate information flow throughout the brain. Defects in these channels lead to wide variety of neurological diseases and psychiatric conditions and they are the targets of a large number of clinically used drugs. We cannot hope to predict the actions of a drug, design safer and more effective drugs, develop better therapeutic strategies or predict the outcome of a disease-causing mutation without knowledge of how these channels work at a molecular level. The goal of this project was to advance our understanding of how these important channels work.

The potential of arrestin mutants with dramatically reduced ability to activate JNKs, that were constructed based on this info, to protect cells against insults and prolong their survival was tested, and the ability of the mutants that activate JNKs more efficiently than wild type arrestins to facilitate cell death also was tested. Molecular tools that specifically increase or block pro-apoptotic signaling have therapeutic potential in disorders associated with excessive cell proliferation (e.g., cancer) or death (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases).

The goal of this study was to elucidate the conformations of receptor-bound and microtubule-bound arrestins to understand how arrestin conformation affects its interactions with signaling proteins and the consequences of their binding. This information will set the stage for designing arrestin-based molecular tools for targeted manipulation of cellular signaling that can be used for experimental and therapeutic purposes.

The loss of cardiac muscle cells is a significant problem in human cardiac transplants that may contribute to poor heart function. Our studies aimed to identify a potential molecular problem intrinsic to cardiac cells that predisposes to cell death and injury. A better understanding of this molecular process may lead to better strategies to prevent injury cardiac cells in these patients.
