With summary in dutch ISBN 978-90-8504-920-3 The road not taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost.

Oxidative stress is one of the harsh conditions that fermentative microbes have managed to endure during their use in industrial fermentation processes. A widely- used lactic acid bacterium in food fermentations is Lactobacillus plantarum. Hence, un- derstanding oxidative stress response in this micro-organism can be used for engineering robustness towards oxidative stress. There are two systems known to be involved in oxi- dative stress response and redox homeostasis in bacteria: the thioredoxin and glutare- doxin systems. In this study, we constructed a set of L. plantarum WCFS1 strains with alterations in these systems. Using the constructed strains under different oxidative stress conditions (hydrogen peroxide, diamide (thiol-stress), aerobic growth, and respiratory growth), global transcriptome analysis was performed. Subsequently, the functional role of the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin system was analyzed and validated using a number of different techniques including comparative genomics, enzyme assays, and q-PCR. The main results obtained in this study include the role of the thioredoxin system in oxidative stress response in L. plantarum as well as in adaptation to aerobic cultivation; character- ization and overlap of the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin system in this bacterium; insight into transcriptome regulation of oxidative stress response, and unravelling of stress-re- sponse networks present in L. plantarum WCFS1. The comparative genomics and global transcriptome analysis of the oxidative stress response of L. plantarum WCFS1 presented in this thesis can be used for optimization of the performance of lactic acid bacteria in industrial fermentations. 9 1 Introduction and Outline of this Thesis 11 11 12 1 Introduction and Outline of this Thesis Lactobacillus plantarum is a versatile lactic acid bacterium encountered in a variety of niches including industrial food fermentations. The diversity of ecological niches where this bacterium survives and prospers alludes to its flexibility. In an industrial fermentation process the flexibility of L. plantarum is reflected in its capacity to counteract adverse conditions during process including acid, osmotic, temperature, and oxidative stress. Therefore, a major challenge for improving and controlling industrial fermentations is to understand the adaptation mechanisms present in this organism towards stress. A stress may lead to activation of genes required to cope with the altered condition, while repress- ing other genes that do not fulfill an important function in the novel condition. The total set of RNAs, transcriptome, under a stress condition contains information about the biological state of the cell and the genes that play a role under this specific stress condition. Hence, transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool in obtaining new information on gene-regulatory circuits and the effect of stress on the cell. This introduction will provide an overview of the characteristics and applications of L. plantarum WCFS1, the model organism used in this thesis. In addition, oxidative stress in bacteria will be discussed with special focus on the bacteria’s response upon this stress and the antioxidants glutathione and thioredoxin. Furthermore in this introduction the defi- nition and application of global transcriptional analysis will be presented to the reader. 1313 Lactobacillus plantarum zymes that catalyze the synthesis of important Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are low C+G Gram- fermentation-end-products from pyruvate in- positive, non-sporulating, fermentative organ- cluding flavor and conservation metabolites isms that grow in anaerobic or micro-aerobic (lactate, acetate, acetoine, ethanol, formate, 2, habitats.

  • New Automatically Built Profiles for a Better Understanding of the Peroxidase Superfamily Evolution
    University of Geneva Practical training report submitted for the Master Degree in Proteomics and Bioinformatics New automatically built profiles for a better understanding of the peroxidase superfamily evolution presented by Dominique Koua Supervisors: Dr Christophe DUNAND Dr Nicolas HULO Laboratory of Plant Physiology, Dr Christian J.A. SIGRIST University of Geneva Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics PROSITE group. Geneva, April, 18th 2008 Abstract Motivation: Peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.x), which are encoded by small or large multigenic families, are involved in several important physiological and developmental processes. These proteins are extremely widespread and present in almost all living organisms. An important number of haem and non-haem peroxidase sequences are annotated and classified in the peroxidase database PeroxiBase (http://peroxibase.isb-sib.ch). PeroxiBase contains about 5800 peroxidase sequences classified as haem peroxidases and non-haem peroxidases and distributed between thirteen superfamilies and fifty subfamilies, (Passardi et al., 2007). However, only a few classification tools are available for the characterisation of peroxidase sequences: InterPro motifs, PRINTS and specifically designed PROSITE profiles. However, these PROSITE profiles are very global and do not allow the differenciation between very close subfamily sequences nor do they allow the prediction of specific cellular localisations. Due to the rapid growth in the number of available sequences, there is a need for continual updates and corrections of peroxidase protein sequences as well as for new tools that facilitate acquisition and classification of existing and new sequences. Currently, the PROSITE generalised profile building manner and their usage do not allow the differentiation of sequences from subfamilies showing a high degree of similarity.

  • Hydrogen Sulfide and Redox Signaling
    Hydrogen Sulfide and Redox Signaling Péter Nagy Department of Molecular Immunology and Toxicology National Institute of Oncology, Budapest, Hungary MUSC Redox Course Charleston, USA, May 2015 H2S and life Sulfur is essential for all forms of life on Earth. In the very early days the atmosphere is believed to have contained large amounts of hydrogen sulfide and only trace amounts of oxygen. Therefore, sulfide may have served as a major life supporter before the emergence of O2. However, sulfide was also pled guilty in causing life destructions and distinctions on the earth most notable during the Permian period. Volcanic eruptions in Siberia caused a major drop in atmospheric and ocean dissolved oxygen levels. It was estimated that by the end of the Permian period 95% of marine species and 70 % of terrestrial ones had vanished. H2S and life Early studies of sulfide biology were focused on its toxic effects. Many death: • Rotorua, New Zealand • Industry: oil wells or refineries, animal processing plants, pump mills, cress-pools, septic tanks… • Sewer gas already mentioned in 1862 Victor Hugo Jean Valjean Sulfide toxicity is mostly associated with cell respiratory dysfunction via impaired oxidative phosphorylation.

(ii) ABSTRACT The decomposition of steroid and other organic hydroperoxides by microsomes from rat liver and bovine adrenal cortex has been examined using TMPD as an electron donor. A comparison of the hydroperoxide specificity of microsomal peroxidase revealed the 17a-hydroperoxide derivatives of progesterone and pregnenolone to be very effective sub- strates.
