University Microfilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

  • An Interactomics Overview of the Human and Bovine Milk Proteome Over Lactation Lina Zhang1, Aalt D
    Zhang et al. Proteome Science (2017) 15:1 DOI 10.1186/s12953-016-0110-0 RESEARCH Open Access An interactomics overview of the human and bovine milk proteome over lactation Lina Zhang1, Aalt D. J. van Dijk2,3,4 and Kasper Hettinga1* Abstract Background: Milk is the most important food for growth and development of the neonate, because of its nutrient composition and presence of many bioactive proteins. Differences between human and bovine milk in low abundant proteins have not been extensively studied. To better understand the differences between human and bovine milk, the qualitative and quantitative differences in the milk proteome as well as their changes over lactation were compared using both label-free and labelled proteomics techniques. These datasets were analysed and compared, to better understand the role of milk proteins in development of the newborn. Methods: Human and bovine milk samples were prepared by using filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) combined with dimethyl labelling and analysed by nano LC LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometry. Results: The human and bovine milk proteome show similarities with regard to the distribution over biological functions, especially the dominant presence of enzymes, transport and immune-related proteins. At a quantitative level, the human and bovine milk proteome differed not only between species but also over lactation within species. Dominant enzymes that differed between species were those assisting in nutrient digestion, with bile salt- activated lipase being abundant in human milk and pancreatic ribonuclease being abundant in bovine milk. As lactation advances, immune-related proteins decreased slower in human milk compared to bovine milk.

Here we present a liquid chromatography (LC)–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) method for reliable measurement of 141 metabolites, including components of central carbon, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolism. The selected LC approach, hydrophilic interaction chromatography with an amino column, effectively separates highly water soluble metabolites that fail to retain using standard reversed-phase chromatography. MS/MS detection is achieved by scanning through numerous selected reaction monitoring events on a triple quadrupole instrument. When applied to extracts of Escherichia coli grown in [12C]- versus [13C]glucose, the method reveals appropriate 12C- and 13C-peaks for 79 different metabolites. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Cerebral oxidative stress (OS), under control of the glutathione-based defense system, contributes to the HE pathogenesis. Glutathione synthesis is regulated by cysteine synthesized from homocysteine via the transsulfuration pathway present in the brain. The transsulfuration-transmethylation interdependence is controlled by a methyl group donor, S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) conversion to S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), whose removal by subsequent hydrolysis to homocysteine counteract AdoHcy accumulation-induced OS and excitotoxicity. Methods: Rats received three consecutive intraperitoneal injections of thioacetamide (TAA) at 24 h intervals. We measured AdoMet and AdoHcy concentrations by HPLC-FD, glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio (Quantification kit). Results: AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio was reduced in the brain but not in the liver. The total glutathione level and GSH/GSSG ratio, decreased in TAA rats, were restored by AdoMet treatment. Conclusion: Data indicate that disturbance of redox homeostasis caused by AdoHcy in the TAA rat brain may represent a deleterious mechanism of brain damage in HE.

The reaction of α2M with proteases results in an ‘activated’ conformation, where the proteases become covalently-linked within the interior of a cage-like structure formed by α2M. This study investigates, the effect of activation on the ability of α2M to inhibit amyloid formation by Aβ1–42 and I59T human lysozyme and shows that protease-activated α2M can act via two distinct mechanisms: (i) by trapping proteases that remain able to degrade polypeptide chains and (ii) by a chaperone action that prevents misfolded clients from continuing along the amyloid forming pathway.

  • Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes
    antioxidants Review Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes Gethin J. McBean School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science, Conway Institute, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland; [email protected]; Tel.: +353-1-716-6770 Received: 13 July 2017; Accepted: 1 August 2017; Published: 3 August 2017 Abstract: This review discusses the current understanding of cysteine and glutathione redox balance in astrocytes. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of oxidative stress and astrocyte activation on pathways that provide cysteine as a precursor for glutathione. The effect of the disruption of thiol-containing amino acid metabolism on the antioxidant capacity of astrocytes is also discussed. − Keywords: cysteine; cystine; cysteamine; cystathionine; glutathione; xc cystine-glutamate exchanger; transsulfuration 1. Introduction Thiol groups, whether contained within small molecules, peptides, or proteins, are highly reactive and prone to spontaneous oxidation. Free cysteine readily oxidises to its corresponding disulfide, cystine, that together form the cysteine/cystine redox couple. Similarly, the tripeptide glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) exists in both reduced (GSH) and oxidised (glutathione disulfide; GSSG) forms, depending on the oxidation state of the sulfur atom on the cysteine residue. In the case of proteins, the free sulfhydryl group on cysteines can adopt a number of oxidation states, ranging from disulfides (–S–S–) and sulfenic acids (–SOOH), which are reversible, to the more oxidised sulfinic (–SOO2H) and sulfonic acids (–SOO3H), which are not. These latter species may arise as a result of chronic and/or severe oxidative stress, and generally indicate a loss of function of irreversibly oxidised proteins. Methionine residues oxidise to the corresponding sulfoxide, which can be rescued enzymatically by methionine sulfoxide reductase [1].

  • The Biosynthesis of Cystathionine in Patients with Homocystinuria
    Pediat. Res. 2: 149-160 (1968) Cystathionase homoserine cystathionine pyridoxine cystine serine homocystinuria The Biosynthesis of Cystathionine in Patients with Homocystinuria P.W.K.WONG[30], V.SCHWARZ and G.M.KOMROWER Department of Medical Biochemistry, University of Manchester, and the Mental Retardation Unit, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Manchester, England Extract The synthesis in rat and normal human liver homogenates of cystathionine from homoserine +cysteine was studied. When cystathionine was used as substrate, cyst(e)ine was formed and incubation of liver homogenate with homoserine-(-cysteine resulted in the formation of cystathionine. Incubation of homogenate prepared from homocystinuric hVer with L-homoserine+DL-cysteine- 3-14G or DL-cysteine-35S resulted in the formation of labelled cystathionine. The identity of cystathio- nine was established in three chromatographic separations. Oral loading with homoserine and cysteine or cystine in two patients with homocystinuria resulted in urinary excretion of cystathionine in amounts similar to that reported in normal human subjects without amino acid loading. Speculation The observation that human and monkey brains contain much larger quantities of cystathionine than those of other species [26] suggests a special relation of this amino acid to the normal development and function of the primate brain. Cystathionine is either absent from or markedly deficient in the brain of untreated homocystinuric patients [2, 9]. Since we have shown that synthesis of cystathionine from homoserine and cysteine does take place in the patient's liver in vitro, supplementation of the diet with homoserine and cysteine may prove effective in raising intracellular cystathionine concentration to- ward the normal, and may possibly improve the prognosis in this disease.

  • Title: Homocystinuria Caused by Cystathionine Β-Synthase Deficiency Genereview — Terms Used to Describe Sulfur Amino Acids Au
    Title: Homocystinuria Caused by Cystathionine β-Synthase Deficiency GeneReview — Terms Used to Describe Sulfur Amino Acids Authors: Sacharow SJ, Picker JD, Levy HL Updated: May 2017 Terms Used to Describe Sulfur Amino Acids Note: The terms used to describe the sulfur amino acids are confusing because homocysteine, the thiol within the methionine metabolic pathway (Homocystinuria Caused by Cystathionine Beta-Synthase Deficiency; see Figure 1) with its free sulfur, readily combines with other thiols (such as another homocysteine or cysteine) to form a disulfide; it is primarily the disulfides that are measured in the standard amino acid analysis. For clarity, Mudd et al [2000] have proposed the following terminology to describe the sulfur amino acid metabolites that are important in homocystinuria and related disorders: Homocysteine (HcyH). A thiol compound: Homocystine (Hcy-Hcy). A symmetric disulfide: Homocysteine-cysteine mixed disulfide (Hcy-Cys). An asymmetric disulfide: Total homocysteine (tHcy). All of the Hcy that is present, including that which is bound to protein, most of which is liberated from disulfide bonding by a specific analysis that requires prior reduction. Total free homocysteine (tfHcy). A measurement sometimes used in following individuals with homocystinuria, calculated by assigning two Hcy's to the amount of free homocystine (Hcy-Hcy), one Hcy to the amount of homocysteine-cysteine mixed disulfide (Hcy-Cys), and adding the amounts. Total free Hcy is distinguished from tHcy, which includes the Hcy that was formerly protein bound.
