NGPS is an atypical progeroid syndrome characterized by normal development in the first years of life, later followed by the emergence of generalized lipoatrophy, severe osteoporosis, and marked osteolysis. The atrophic facial subcutaneous fat pad and the marked osteolysis of the maxilla and mandible result in a typical pseudosenile facial appearance with micrognatia, prominent subcutaneous venous patterning, a convex nasal ridge, and proptosis. Cognitive development is completely normal. Patients do not have cardiovascular dysfunction, atherosclerosis, or metabolic anomalies. Function BAF_HUMAN Plays fundamental roles in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, gene expression and gonad development. May potently compress chromatin structure and be involved in membrane recruitment and chromatin decondensation during nuclear assembly. Contains 2 non-specific dsDNA-binding sites which may promote DNA cross-bridging. Exploited by retroviruses for inhibiting self-destructing autointegration of retroviral DNA, thereby promoting integration of viral DNA into the host chromosome. EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD. Publication Abstract from PubMed The multiple-solvent crystal structure (MSCS) approach uses high concentrations of organic solvents to characterize the interactions and effects of solvents on proteins. Here, the method has been further developed and an MSCS data-handling pipeline is presented that uses the Detection of Related Solvent Positions (DRoP) program to improve data quality. DRoP is used to selectively model conserved water molecules, so that an advanced stage of structural refinement is reached quickly. This allows the placement of organic molecules more accurately and convergence on high-quality maps and structures. This pipeline was applied to the chromatin-associated protein barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), resulting in structural models with better than average statistics. DRoP and Phenix Structure Comparison were used to characterize the data sets and to identify a binding site that overlaps with the interaction site of BAF with emerin. The conserved water-mediated networks identified by DRoP suggested a mechanism by which water molecules are used to drive the binding of DNA. Normalized and differential B-factor analysis is shown to be a valuable tool to characterize the effects of specific solvents on defined regions of BAF. Specific solvents are identified that cause stabilization of functionally important regions of the protein. This work presents tools and a standardized approach for the analysis and comprehension of MSCS data sets.
