Measurement of Metabolite Variations and Analysis of Related Gene Expression in Chinese Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis) Plants
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Measurement of metabolite variations and analysis of related gene expression in Chinese liquorice Received: 15 March 2017 Accepted: 28 March 2018 (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) plants under Published: xx xx xxxx UV-B irradiation Xiao Zhang1,2, Xiaoli Ding3,4, Yaxi Ji1,2, Shouchuang Wang5, Yingying Chen1,2, Jie Luo5, Yingbai Shen1,2 & Li Peng3,4 Plants respond to UV-B irradiation (280–315 nm wavelength) via elaborate metabolic regulatory mechanisms that help them adapt to this stress. To investigate the metabolic response of the medicinal herb Chinese liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) to UV-B irradiation, we performed liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based metabolomic analysis, combined with analysis of diferentially expressed genes in the leaves of plants exposed to UV-B irradiation at various time points. Fifty-four metabolites, primarily amino acids and favonoids, exhibited changes in levels after the UV-B treatment. The amino acid metabolism was altered by UV-B irradiation: the Asp family pathway was activated and closely correlated to Glu. Some amino acids appeared to be converted into antioxidants such as γ-aminobutyric acid and glutathione. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that various favonoids with characteristic groups were induced by UV-B. In particular, the levels of some ortho- dihydroxylated B-ring favonoids, which might function as scavengers of reactive oxygen species, increased in response to UV-B treatment. In general, unigenes encoding key enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and favonoid biosynthesis were upregulated by UV-B irradiation. These fndings lay the foundation for further analysis of the mechanism underlying the response of G. -

Part One Amino Acids as Building Blocks Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins in Organic Chemistry. Vol.3 – Building Blocks, Catalysis and Coupling Chemistry. Edited by Andrew B. Hughes Copyright Ó 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim ISBN: 978-3-527-32102-5 j3 1 Amino Acid Biosynthesis Emily J. Parker and Andrew J. Pratt 1.1 Introduction The ribosomal synthesis of proteins utilizes a family of 20 a-amino acids that are universally coded by the translation machinery; in addition, two further a-amino acids, selenocysteine and pyrrolysine, are now believed to be incorporated into proteins via ribosomal synthesis in some organisms. More than 300 other amino acid residues have been identified in proteins, but most are of restricted distribution and produced via post-translational modification of the ubiquitous protein amino acids [1]. The ribosomally encoded a-amino acids described here ultimately derive from a-keto acids by a process corresponding to reductive amination. The most important biosynthetic distinction relates to whether appropriate carbon skeletons are pre-existing in basic metabolism or whether they have to be synthesized de novo and this division underpins the structure of this chapter. There are a small number of a-keto acids ubiquitously found in core metabolism, notably pyruvate (and a related 3-phosphoglycerate derivative from glycolysis), together with two components of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), oxaloacetate and a-ketoglutarate (a-KG). These building blocks ultimately provide the carbon skeletons for unbranched a-amino acids of three, four, and five carbons, respectively. a-Amino acids with shorter (glycine) or longer (lysine and pyrrolysine) straight chains are made by alternative pathways depending on the available raw materials. -

Metabolomic Analysis Reveals That the Drosophila Gene Lysine Influences Diverse Aspects of Metabolism

ABSTRACT The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a powerful model for investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate animal metabolism. A major limitation of these studies, however, is that many metabolic assays are tedious, dedicated to analyzing a single molecule, and rely on indirect measurements. As a result, Drosophila geneticists commonly use candidate gene approaches, which, while important, bias studies towards known metabolic regulators. In an effort to expand the scope of Drosophila metabolic studies, we used the classic mutant lysine (lys) to demonstrate how a modern metabolomics approach can be used to conduct forward genetic studies. Using an inexpensive and well-established gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based method, we genetically mapped and molecularly characterized lys by using free lysine levels as a phenotypic readout. Our efforts revealed that lys encodes the Drosophila homolog of Lysine Ketoglutarate Reductase/Saccharopine Dehydrogenase (LKRSDH), which is required for the enzymatic degradation of lysine. Furthermore, this approach also allowed us to simultaneously survey a large swath of intermediate metabolism, thus demonstrating that Drosophila lysine catabolism is complex and capable of influencing seemingly unrelated metabolic pathways. -

Abstract: Amino acids serve as key building blocks and as an energy source for cell repair, survival, regeneration and growth. Each amino acid has an amino group, a carboxylic acid, and a unique carbon structure. Human utilize 21 different amino acids; most of these can be synthesized endogenously, but 9 are “essential” in that they must be ingested in the diet. In addition to their role as building blocks of protein, amino acids are key energy source (ketogenic, glucogenic or both), are building blocks of Kreb’s (aka TCA) cycle intermediates and other metabolites, and recycled as needed. A metabolic defect in the metabolism of tyrosine (homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency) historically defined Archibald Garrod as key architect in linking biochemistry, genetics and medicine and creation of the term ‘Inborn Error of Metabolism’ (IEM). The key concept of a single gene defect leading to a single enzyme dysfunction, leading to “intoxication” with a precursor in the metabolic pathway was vital to linking genetics and metabolic disorders and developing screening and treatment approaches as described in other chapters in this issue. -
