SELENOF) with Retinol Dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11 Tian et al. Nutrition & Metabolism (2018) 15:7 DOI 10.1186/s12986-017-0235-x RESEARCH Open Access The interaction of selenoprotein F (SELENOF) with retinol dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11) implied a role of SELENOF in vitamin A metabolism Jing Tian1* , Jiapan Liu1, Jieqiong Li2, Jingxin Zheng3, Lifang Chen4, Yujuan Wang1, Qiong Liu1 and Jiazuan Ni1 Abstract Background: Selenoprotein F (SELENOF, was named as 15-kDa selenoprotein) has been reported to play important roles in oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and carcinogenesis. However, the biological function of SELENOF is still unclear. Methods: A yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen the interactive protein of SELENOF in a human fetal brain cDNA library. The interaction between SELENOF and interactive protein was validated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and pull-down assays. The production of retinol was detected by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Results: Retinol dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11) was found to interact with SELENOF. RDH11 is an enzyme for the reduction of all-trans-retinaldehyde to all-trans-retinol (vitamin A). The production of retinol was decreased by SELENOF overexpression, resulting in more retinaldehyde. Conclusions: SELENOF interacts with RDH11 and blocks its enzyme activity to reduce all-trans-retinaldehyde.

  • Characterization of a Microsomal Retinol Dehydrogenase Gene from Amphioxus: Retinoid Metabolism Before Vertebrates
    Chemico-Biological Interactions 130–132 (2001) 359–370 www.elsevier.com/locate/chembiont Characterization of a microsomal retinol dehydrogenase gene from amphioxus: retinoid metabolism before vertebrates Diana Dalfo´, Cristian Can˜estro, Ricard Albalat, Roser Gonza`lez-Duarte * Departament de Gene`tica, Facultat de Biologia, Uni6ersitat de Barcelona, A6. Diagonal, 645, E-08028, Barcelona, Spain Abstract Amphioxus, a member of the subphylum Cephalochordata, is thought to be the closest living relative to vertebrates. Although these animals have a vertebrate-like response to retinoic acid, the pathway of retinoid metabolism remains unknown. Two different enzyme systems — the short chain dehydrogenase/reductases and the cytosolic medium-chain alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) — have been postulated in vertebrates. Nevertheless, recent data show that the vertebrate-ADH1 and ADH4 retinol-active forms originated after the divergence of cephalochordates and vertebrates. Moreover, no data has been gathered in support of medium-chain retinol active forms in amphioxus. Then, if the cytosolic ADH system is absent and these animals use retinol, the microsomal retinol dehydrogenases could be involved in retinol oxidation. We have identified the genomic region and cDNA of an amphioxus Rdh gene as a preliminary step for functional characterization. Besides, phyloge- netic analysis supports the ancestral position of amphioxus Rdh in relation to the vertebrate forms. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

By 1995, four distinct enzymes with 17 -HSD activity had been identified: 17 -HSD -types 1 and 3, which in vivo are NADPH -dependent reductases; 17 -HSD - types 2 and 4, which in vivo are NAD +-dependent oxidases. Since then six additional enzymes with 17 -HSD activity have been isolated from mammal s. With the exception of 17 -HSD –type 5, which belongs to the aldoketo -reductase (AKR) family, these 17 -HSDs belong to the short chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. Several 17 -HSDs appear to be examples of convergent evolution. That is, 17 -HSD activity arose several times from different ancestors. Some 17 -HSDs share a common ancestor with retinoid oxido -reductases and have retinol dehydrogenase activity. 17 -HSD -types 2, 6 and 9 appear to have diverged from ancestral retinoid dehydrogenas es early in the evolution of deuterostomes during the Cambrian, about 540 million years ago.

Project Goals: The goal of this project is to identify and characterize the specific enzyme(s) that catalyze anaerobic ethylene synthesis. This is part of a larger project to develop an industrially compatible microbial process to synthesize ethylene in high yields. The specific goals are: 1. Identify the genes and gene products responsible for anaerobic ethylene synthesis. 2. Probe the substrate specificity and metagenomic functional diversity of methylthio-alkane reductases to identify optimal bioproduct generating systems. 3. Characterize the enzymes and the reactions that directly generate anaerobic ethylene. Abstract Text: Our previous work identified a novel anaerobic microbial pathway (DHAP- Ethylene Shunt) [1] that recycled 5’-methylthioadenosine (MTA) back to methionine with stoichiometric amounts of ethylene produced as a surprising side-product. MTA is a metabolic byproduct of methionine utilization in a multitude of cellular processes. The initial steps of the DHAP-ethylene sequentially converts MTA to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and ethylene precursor (2-methylthio)ethanol (Fig.

  • RDH5 Gene Retinol Dehydrogenase 5
    RDH5 gene retinol dehydrogenase 5 Normal Function The RDH5 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase 5, which is necessary for normal vision, especially in low-light conditions (night vision). This enzyme is found in a thin layer of cells at the back of the eye called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This cell layer supports and nourishes the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue in the inner lining of the back of the eye (the fundus). 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase 5 is involved in a multi-step process called the visual cycle, by which light entering the eye is converted into electrical signals that are interpreted as vision. An integral operation of the visual cycle is the recycling of a molecule called 11- cis retinal, which is a form of vitamin A that is needed for the conversion of light to electrical signals. The retinol dehydrogenase 5 enzyme converts a molecule called 11- cis retinol to 11-cis retinal. In light-sensing cells in the retina known as photoreceptors, 11-cis retinal combines with a protein called an opsin to form a photosensitive pigment. When light hits this pigment, 11-cis retinal is altered, forming another molecule called all- trans retinal. This conversion triggers a series of chemical reactions that create electrical signals. 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase 5 then helps convert all-trans retinal back to 11-cis retinal so the visual cycle can begin again. The eyes contain two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. Rods are needed for vision in low light, while cones are needed for vision in bright light, including color vision.

  • Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase: a Common Human Polymorphism and Its Biochemical Implications
    THE CHEMICAL RECORD Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase: THE CHEMICAL A Common Human Polymorphism and RECORD Its Biochemical Implications ROWENA G. MATTHEWS1,2 1Biophysics Research Division, The University of Michigan, 930 N. University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1055 2Department of Biological Chemistry, The University of Michigan, 930 N. University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1055 Received 6 June 2001; accepted 7 September 2001 ABSTRACT: Methlenetetrahydrofolate (CH2-H4folate) is required for the conversion of homocys- teine to methionine and of dUMP to dTMP in support of DNA synthesis, and also serves as a major source of one carbon unit for purine biosynthesis. This review presents biochemical studies of a human polymorphism in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, which catalyzes the reaction shown below. The mutation decreases the flux of CH2-H4folate into CH3-H4folate, and is associated with both beneficial and deleterious effects that can be traced to the molecular effect of the substitution of alanine 222 by valine. © 2002 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Alternate sources of the biological organisms is the de novo biosynthesis of methyl methylene group include formate, which is converted to 10- groups. Du Vigneaud and Bennett are credited with the initial formyltetrahydrofolate, and thence to methenyl- and finally observations that rats could synthesize methionine from ho- methylenetetrahydrofolate by the action of formyltetra- mocysteine in the absence of a source of preformed methyl hydrofolate synthetase, methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydro- groups, and this synthesis was later shown to require the pres- lase, and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase.2 ence of folate and cobalamin in the diet.
