  • Prolonging Healthy Aging: Longevity Vitamins and Proteins PERSPECTIVE Bruce N
    PERSPECTIVE Prolonging healthy aging: Longevity vitamins and proteins PERSPECTIVE Bruce N. Amesa,1 Edited by Cynthia Kenyon, Calico Labs, San Francisco, CA, and approved September 13, 2018 (received for review May 30, 2018) It is proposed that proteins/enzymes be classified into two classes according to their essentiality for immediate survival/reproduction and their function in long-term health: that is, survival proteins versus longevity proteins. As proposed by the triage theory, a modest deficiency of one of the nutrients/cofactors triggers a built-in rationing mechanism that favors the proteins needed for immediate survival and reproduction (survival proteins) while sacrificing those needed to protect against future damage (longevity proteins). Impairment of the function of longevity proteins results in an insidious acceleration of the risk of diseases associated with aging. I also propose that nutrients required for the function of longevity proteins constitute a class of vitamins that are here named “longevity vitamins.” I suggest that many such nutrients play a dual role for both survival and longevity. The evidence for classifying taurine as a conditional vitamin, and the following 10 compounds as putative longevity vitamins, is reviewed: the fungal antioxidant ergo- thioneine; the bacterial metabolites pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and queuine; and the plant antioxidant carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, α-andβ-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, and the marine carotenoid astaxanthin. Because nutrient deficiencies are highly prevalent in the United States (and elsewhere), appro- priate supplementation and/or an improved diet could reduce much of the consequent risk of chronic disease and premature aging. vitamins | essential minerals | aging | nutrition I propose that an optimal level of many of the known adverse health effects.

First and foremost, I have to acknowledge my best friend from the program, Adam Lee. If it was not for the trip to the ACS meeting in Chicago, Adam and I likely would have never got to know each other. Luckily, fate arranged such an occurrence. If not for Adam’s friendship and the support of some others, I likely would have left the program in my second year. I also have to thank Jason Witek, an undergraduate who worked in the Showalter lab. We actually met during the Organic Mechanisms course, as he was in an academic program of his own design. The time we worked together in the lab was a productive one, and interestingly an amusing time as well.

Abstract Growing evidence suggests that human gut bacteria, comprising the microbiome that communicates with the brain through the so-called ‘gut-brain-axis’, are linked to neurodegener- ative disorders. Imbalances in the microbiome of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s dis- ease (AD) patients have been detected in several studies. Queuine is a hypermodified nucleobase enriched in the brain and exclusively produced by bacteria and salvaged by humans through their gut epithelium. Queuine replaces guanine at the wobble position of tRNAs with GUN anticodons and promotes efficient cytoplasmic and mitochondrial mRNA translation.

  • Prokaryotic Transcription Regulation by the Nascent RNA Elements
    pISSN 2288-6982 l eISSN 2288-7105 Biodesign https://doi.org/10.34184/kssb.2020.8.2.33 MINI REVIEW P 33-40 Prokaryotic transcription regulation by the nascent RNA elements Seungha Hwang†, Jimin Lee† and Jin Young Kang* Department of Chemistry, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34141, Republic of Korea *Correspondence: [email protected] †These authors contributed equally to this work. Transcription regulation by cis-acting elements such as DNA and RNA has not been investigated much compared to that of trans-acting elements like transcription factors because most cis-elements are much larger and more flexible than protein factors. Consequently, it was challenging to recapitulate the function of cis-elements in a reduced system for in vitro assays. However, the recent cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) made it possible to study the effect of nascent RNA elements to the transcription in combination with biochemical experiments as cryo-EM does not require crystallization and tolerates heterogeneity to an extent. In this review, we briefly described the current model on prokaryotic transcriptional pausing based on the crystal and cryo-EM structures of RNA polymerases in different contexts, including an RNA hairpin pause. We then introduced two other nascent RNA elements that modulate transcription – preQ1 riboswitch and HK022 put RNA. Understanding the function of the RNA elements to transcription will deepen our understanding of the fundamental mechanism transcription and provide the structural basis for drug discovery as well as bioresearch tool development. INTRODUCTION synthesis is initiated (Tomsic et al., 2001). As the nascent RNA Transcription is an essential cellular process that transfers the is elongated, the 3’-end of the transcript makes clashes with a genetic information engraved in DNA to RNA transcripts to make loop (named “σ finger”) from the σ factor.

    P1.1 The protein-only RNase P PRORP1 interacts with the nuclease MNU2 in Arabidopsis mitochondria G. Bonnard, M. Arrivé, A. Bouchoucha, A. Gobert, C. Schelcher, F. Waltz, P. Giegé Institut de biologie moléculaire des plantes, CNRS, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France The essential endonuclease activity that removes 5’ leader sequences from transfer RNA precursors is called RNase P. While ribonucleoprotein RNase P enzymes containing a ribozyme are found in all domains of life, another type of RNase P called “PRORP”, for “PROtein-only RNase P”, only composed of protein occurs in a wide variety of eukaryotes, in organelles and the nucleus. Although PRORP proteins function as single subunit enzymes in vitro, we find that PRORP1 occurs in protein complexes and is present in polysome fractions in Arabidopsis mitochondria. The analysis of immuno- precipitated protein complexes identifies proteins involved in mitochondrial gene expression processes. In particular, direct interaction is established between PRORP1 and MNU2 another mitochondrial nuclease involved in RNA 5’ processing. A specific domain of MNU2 and a conserved signature of PRORP1 are found to be directly accountable for this protein interaction. Altogether, results reveal the existence of an RNA 5’ maturation complex in Arabidopsis mitochondria and suggest that PRORP proteins might cooperate with other gene expression regulators for RNA maturation in vivo. 111 P1.2 CytoRP, a cytosolic RNase P to target TLS-RNA phytoviruses 1 1 2 1 A.
