Disease relevance of Torsion

  • Salusins are translated from an alternatively spliced mRNA of TOR2A, a gene encoding a protein of the torsion dystonia family [1].
  • The solution structure of the 48-kDa IIA(Man)-HPr complex of the mannose branch of the Escherichia coli phosphotransferase system has been solved by NMR using conjoined rigid body/torsion angle-simulated annealing on the basis of intermolecular nuclear Overhauser enhancement data and residual dipolar couplings [2].
  • Early-onset torsion dystonia is an autosomal dominant hyperkinetic movement disorder that has recently been linked to a 3-base pair deletion in the DYT1 gene [3].
  • Twenty-three children and 52 adults with torsion dystonia of various etiologies and distribution patterns of the involuntary movements were treated in an open-label study with anticholinergic medication [4].
  • Spastic dysphonia, Meige disease, and torsion dystonia [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Torsion

 

High impact information on Torsion

  • SWI2/SNF2 ATPases remodel chromatin or other DNA:protein complexes by a poorly understood mechanism that involves ATP-dependent DNA translocation and generation of superhelical torsion [9].
  • We find that the ability to distort DNA is shared by the yeast SWI/SNF complex, Xenopus Mi-2 complex, recombinant ISWI, and recombinant BRG1, suggesting that the generation of superhelical torsion represents a primary biomechanical activity shared by all Snf2p-related ATPase motors [10].
  • The early-onset torsion dystonia gene (DYT1) encodes an ATP-binding protein [11].
  • High-pressure and high-temperature torsion experiments on olivine aggregates in dislocation creep show about 15 to 20% strain weakening before steady-state behavior, characterized by subgrain-rotation recrystallization and a strong lattice preferred orientation [12].
  • Time-correlated single-photon counting of intercalated ethidium bromide was used to measure the torsion constants of positively supercoiled, relaxed, and negatively supercoiled pBR322 DNA, which range in superhelix density from +0.042 to -0.123 [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Torsion

  • Comparison of the backbone and deoxyribose ring torsion angles with those found by previous (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) studies of this adduct in solution demonstrates that the solid state geometry is substantially the same as that in solution [14].
  • The glycosidic torsion angle of the [PhIP]dG residue is syn, and the displaced guanine base is directed toward the 3' end of the modified strand [15].
  • We have differentiated between syn and anti glycosidic torsion angles in nucleic acid duplexes by measuring the transient nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) between the sugar H-1' protons and the purine H-8 and pyrimidine H-6 base protons [16].
  • The transient NOE measurements demonstrate a syn glycosidic torsion angle at guanosine and an anti glycosidic torsion angle at cytidine in poly(dG-dC) in 4 M NaCl and in poly(dG-m5dC) in 1.5 M NaCl solution [16].
  • PCK possesses a novel nucleotide-binding fold, particularly in the adenine-binding region, where the formation of a cis backbone torsion angle in a loop glycine residue promotes intimate contacts between the adenine-binding loop and adenine, while stabilizing a syn conformation of the base [17].
 

Biological context of Torsion

  • Human gene for torsion dystonia located on chromosome 9q32-q34 [18].
  • The NMR chemical shift parameters at the antibiotic-free base pair regions in the P/D = 50 complex suggest changes in the glycosidic torsion angles of the deoxyadenosine and thymidine residues and less pronounced changes in the base pair overlap geometries [19].
  • By rotating the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta torsion angles of the phosphate linkage of residue 17, the nucleobase at the cleavage site was slightly rotated out of the active site toward the solution [20].
  • During dobutamine infusion, torsion at end systole was greater and reversal during isovolumic relaxation was much more rapid and greater in extent (p less than 0.01) [21].
  • The clinical phenotype of X-linked recessive torsion dystonia was documented in 42 affected individuals from 21 families [22].
 

Anatomical context of Torsion

 

Gene context of Torsion

  • Measured cross-peak volumes for CRABP-II bound retinoic acid were well predicted by a single, static conformational having a 6-s torsion angle of -60 degrees skewed from a cis conformation [27].
  • The TOR1A (DYT1) gene family and its role in early onset torsion dystonia [28].
  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings show that a proportion of patients with apparent primary torsion dystonia and a good response to anticholinergic drugs have GCH1 mutations and therefore have a variant of dopa responsive dystonia [29].
  • However, it is noteworthy that the gene for torsion dystonia has also been localized by genetic studies to 9q34.3, the same regional map location as NMDAR1 [30].
  • Phenotypic characterization of DYT13 primary torsion dystonia [31].
