BER AND FOLATE DEFICIENCY 2 Abstract Folate is the naturally occurring form of water-soluble B vitamin that is found in foods such as leafy vegetables, fruits, legumes, etc. Dietary supplementation of folate has shown to be protective against neural tube defects and other congenital disorders, and of recent, its role in carcinogenesis has been of special interest. Though mechanistically unclear, a positive correlation has been observed between folate deficiency in the diet and decrease function of DNA base excision repair pathways.

  • Oxidative Stress in Sperm Affects the Epigenetic Reprogramming in Early
    Wyck et al. Epigenetics & Chromatin (2018) 11:60 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13072-018-0224-y Epigenetics & Chromatin RESEARCH Open Access Oxidative stress in sperm afects the epigenetic reprogramming in early embryonic development Sarah Wyck1,2,3, Carolina Herrera1, Cristina E. Requena4,5, Lilli Bittner1, Petra Hajkova4,5, Heinrich Bollwein1* and Rafaella Santoro2* Abstract Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress is well known to play a major role in male infer- tility. Sperm are sensitive to ROS damaging efects because as male germ cells form mature sperm they progressively lose the ability to repair DNA damage. However, how oxidative DNA lesions in sperm afect early embryonic develop- ment remains elusive. Results: Using cattle as model, we show that fertilization using sperm exposed to oxidative stress caused a major developmental arrest at the time of embryonic genome activation. The levels of DNA damage response did not directly correlate with the degree of developmental defects. The early cellular response for DNA damage, γH2AX, is already present at high levels in zygotes that progress normally in development and did not signifcantly increase at the paternal genome containing oxidative DNA lesions. Moreover, XRCC1, a factor implicated in the last step of base excision repair (BER) pathway, was recruited to the damaged paternal genome, indicating that the maternal BER machinery can repair these DNA lesions induced in sperm. Remarkably, the paternal genome with oxidative DNA lesions showed an impairment of zygotic active DNA demethylation, a process that previous studies linked to BER. Quantitative immunofuorescence analysis and ultrasensitive LC–MS-based measurements revealed that oxidative DNA lesions in sperm impair active DNA demethylation at paternal pronuclei, without afecting 5-hydroxymethyl- cytosine (5hmC), a 5-methylcytosine modifcation that has been implicated in paternal active DNA demethylation in mouse zygotes.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

Divya and P. Naga Padma* Bhavan s Vivekananda College of Science, Humanities and Commerce, Secunderabad 94, India *Corresponding author A B S T R A C T Cold active polygalacturonases and amylases play significant role in extraction and clarification of fruit juices at industrial level. An optimized production medium with low cost substrates would be very useful for commercial production of these enzymes. The present study was done to screen low cost pectin and starch K e y w o r d s substrates for cold active enzymes production. The different pectin and starch sources screened were fruit and vegetables peels like citrus, pineapple, apple, Amylase, banana, mango, guava, carrot, beetroot, bottle gourd, ridge gourd and potato. For Cold-active efficient screening of the best sources a statistical design like Plackett-Burman was enzyme, used as in this design n variables can be studied in just n-1 experiments only. A Geotrichum sps, twelve experimental design Plackett-Burman was used as the best sources can be Poly shortlisted in consideration with their interactive effects. The pectinolytic and galacturonase, amylolytic yeast isolate was identified as Geotrichum sps and was used for the Plackett- present study. Cold-active pectinase and amylase enzyme activity was assayed by Burman, dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method.

  • Functional Assignments in the Enolase Superfamily: Investigations of Two Divergent Groups of D-Galacturonate Dehydratases and Galactarate Dehydratase-Iii
    FUNCTIONAL ASSIGNMENTS IN THE ENOLASE SUPERFAMILY: INVESTIGATIONS OF TWO DIVERGENT GROUPS OF D-GALACTURONATE DEHYDRATASES AND GALACTARATE DEHYDRATASE-III BY FIONA PATRICIA GRONINGER-POE i DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John A. Gerlt, Chair Professor John E. Cronan, Jr. Associate Professor Rutilo Fratti Associate Professor Raven H. Huang ABSTRACT More than a decade after the genomic age, full genome sequencing is cost-effective and fast, allowing for the deposit of an ever increasing number of DNA sequences. New fields have arisen from this availability of genomic information, and the way we think about biochemistry and enzymology has been transformed. Unfortunately, there is no robust method for accurately determining the functions of enzymes encoded by these sequences that matches the speed in which genomes are deposited into public databases. Functional assignment of enzymes remains of utmost importance in understanding microbial metabolism and has applications in agriculture by examining bacterial plant pathogen metabolism and additionally in human health by providing metabolic context to the human gut microbiome. To aid in the functional identification of proteins, enzymes can be grouped into superfamilies which share common structural motifs as well as mechanistic features. To this end, the enolase superfamily is an excellent model system for functional assignment because more than half of the members still lack functional identification. Structurally, these enzymes contain substrate specificity residues in the N-terminal capping domain and catalytic residues in the C-terminal barrel domain.
