CONCLUSION AND PERSPECTIVES REFERENCE Annex: CURRICULUM VITAE 5 “Avant-propos” I was awarded a PhD studentship by the China Scholarship Council (CSC). I joined the “Laboratoire de bioénergétique et biotechnologie des bactéries et microalgues (LB3M)” at CEA Cadarache the 1st of March 2015. I finished my contract at the end of Febrary 2018. My research interests are to understand lipid biosynthesis and turnover processes in microalgae and investigate the possible occurrence of metabolic links between lipids and other subcellular metabolisms. To this end, I took advantage of the recent isolation of a few mutants defected in oil turnover in the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in our laboratory (Cagnon et al., 2013). In the past three years, I have been involved in molecular genetic, biochemical and physiological characterization of three mutants, and contributed to one other work in the laboratory (detailed below). 1. A mutant defected in a gene encoding a putative E1α subunit of the branched chain -keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH). [Liang et al submitted to Plant Physiology] This is my major work. The mutant bkdE1α, deficient in the E1α subunit of the BCKDH complex, is found to accumulate less oil during nitrogen (N) starvation, and also is compromised in oil breakdown upon N resupply. We showed via quantification of the amount of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) that BCKDH is indeed involved in BCAA degradation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Through biochemical, genetic and physiological characterization of this mutant, we put on evidence that BCAA degradation contributes to TAG metabolism via the provision of carbon precursors and ATP, thus highlighting the complex interplay between distinct subcellular metabolisms for oil storage in green microalgae. 6 2. A mutant defected in an acyl-CoA oxidase (ACX) catalyzing the first step in the -oxidation of fatty acid in peroxisomes. [Kong, Liang et al Plant J 2017 90:358] This work helped to bring peroxisome to a center stage on lipid homeostasis in a primitive alga, i.e. the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We showed for the first time that H2O2 generating reaction occurs in algal peroxisomes and that Chlamydomonas carries out β-oxidation of fatty acids mainly in this subcellular organelle. Specifically, I: - Cloned the 11 kb genomic DNA encoding the ACX2 protein for genetic complementation of the acx2 mutant. - Did lipid extractions and fatty acid composition analysis. - Carried out quantitative RT-PCR analysis of the expression level of the gene under various cultivation conditions. - Tested the effect of perturbation in fatty acid turnover on senescence and in prolonged darkness. 3. Contributed to characterize the peroxisomal malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) mutant. [Kong, Burlacot, Liang et al Plant Cell 2018 30:1824] This paper showed for the first time, the occurrence of a redox communication between peroxisome and chloroplast, and we showed further that this communication is not only important for carbon reserve accumulation but also is critical for cells to avoid photo- oxidative damage during changing environmental conditions such as nutrient deficiency or high light (HL). Specifically, I: - did RT-PCR. - performed MDH activity assays. - tested growth parameters under various cultivation conditions. - carried out lipid and starch analysis during a day/night cycle. 7 In addition: Microscopy characterization of subcellular localization of lipid droplets in cells starved for N in comparison to cells exposed to HL. [Goold, Cuine, Legeret, Liang et al Plant Physiology 2016 171:2406] This work reported the synthesis of TAGs upon HL exposure, and HL can induce an overall higher lipid productivity than the most commonly used N starvation. Furthermore, by studying and comparing the lipidome and proteome of lipid droplets (LDs) isolated from HL-exposed cells versus N-starved cells, we infer a possibility that distinct sub-populations of LDs or different biogenesis origins of LDs could accumulate in HL-exposed cells compared to N-starved cells. This is further supported by microscopy observations. 8 RESUME Etude des sources de carbone et d’énergie pour la synthèse des lipides de stockage chez la microalgue verte modèle Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Les triacylglycérols d'algues (TAG) représentent une source prometteuse de biocarburants. Les principales étapes de la synthèse des acides gras et du métabolisme du TAG des algues ont été déduites de celles des plantes terrestres, mais on en sait peu sur les sources de carbones et d’énergie intervenant dans la synthèse de lipides de réserve. Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons étudié la synthèse des acides gras chez l’algue modèle Chlamydomonas reinhardtii en utilisant une combinaison d'approches génétiques, biochimiques et microscopiques. Plus précisément, j'ai d'abord examiné la localisation subcellulaire de gouttelettes de lipides dans des cellules d'algues exposées à une forte lumière, conditions où une plus grande quantité de pouvoir réducteur est produite.

  • A New Insight Into Role of Phosphoketolase Pathway in Synechocystis Sp
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A new insight into role of phosphoketolase pathway in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Anushree Bachhar & Jiri Jablonsky* Phosphoketolase (PKET) pathway is predominant in cyanobacteria (around 98%) but current opinion is that it is virtually inactive under autotrophic ambient CO2 condition (AC-auto). This creates an evolutionary paradox due to the existence of PKET pathway in obligatory photoautotrophs. We aim to answer the paradox with the aid of bioinformatic analysis along with metabolic, transcriptomic, fuxomic and mutant data integrated into a multi-level kinetic model. We discussed the problems linked to neglected isozyme, pket2 (sll0529) and inconsistencies towards the explanation of residual fux via PKET pathway in the case of silenced pket1 (slr0453) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Our in silico analysis showed: (1) 17% fux reduction via RuBisCO for Δpket1 under AC-auto, (2) 11.2–14.3% growth decrease for Δpket2 in turbulent AC-auto, and (3) fux via PKET pathway reaching up to 252% of the fux via phosphoglycerate mutase under AC-auto. All results imply that PKET pathway plays a crucial role under AC-auto by mitigating the decarboxylation occurring in OPP pathway and conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA linked to EMP glycolysis under the carbon scarce environment. Finally, our model predicted that PKETs have low afnity to S7P as a substrate. Metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria provides many options for producing valuable compounds, e.g., acetone from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 79421 and butanol from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 68032. However, certain metabolites or overproduction of intermediates can be lethal. Tere is also a possibility that required mutation(s) might be unstable or the target bacterium may even be able to maintain the fux distribution for optimal growth balance due to redundancies in the metabolic network, such as alternative pathways.

  • Chapter 3 the Title and Subtitle of This Chapter Convey a Dual Meaning
    3.1. Introduction Chapter 3 The title and subtitle of this chapter convey a dual meaning. At first reading, the subtitle Photosynthetic Reaction might seem to indicate that the topic of the structure, function and organization of Centers: photosynthetic reaction centers is So little time, so much to do exceedingly complex and that there is simply insufficient time or space in this brief article to cover the details. While this is John H. Golbeck certainly the case, the subtitle is Department of Biochemistry additionally meant to convey the idea that there is precious little time after the and absorption of a photon to accomplish the Molecular Biology task of preserving the energy in the form of The Pennsylvania State University stable charge separation. University Park, PA 16802 USA The difficulty is there exists a fundamental physical limitation in the amount of time available so that a photochemically induced excited state can be utilized before the energy is invariably wasted. Indeed, the entire design philosophy of biological reaction centers is centered on overcoming this physical, rather than chemical or biological, limitation. In this chapter, I will outline the problem of conserving the free energy of light-induced charge separation by focusing on the following topics: 3.2. Definition of the problem: the need to stabilize a charge-separated state. 3.3. The bacterial reaction center: how the cofactors and proteins cope with this problem in a model system. 3.4. Review of Marcus theory: what governs the rate of electron transfer in proteins? 3.5. Photosystem II: a variation on a theme of the bacterial reaction center.

  • Lecture Inhibition of Photosynthesis Inhibition at Photosystem I
    1 Lecture Inhibition of Photosynthesis Inhibition at Photosystem I 1. General Information The popular misconception is that susceptible plants treated with these herbicides “starve to death” because they can no longer photosynthesize. In actuality, the plants die long before the food reserves are depleted. The photosynthetic inhibitors can be divided into two distinct groups, the inhibitors of Photosystem I and inhibitors of Photosystem II. Both of these groups work in the energy production step of photosynthesis, or the light reactions. Light is required as well as photosynthesis for these herbicides to kill susceptible plants. Herbicides that inhibit Photosystem I are considered to be contact herbicides and are often referred to as membrane disruptors. The end result is that cell membranes are rapidly destroyed resulting in leakage of cell contents into the intercellular spaces. These herbicides act as “electron interceptors” or “electron thieves” within Photosystem I of the light reaction of photosynthesis. They divert electrons from the normal electron transport sequence necessary in Photosystem I. This in turn inhibits photosynthesis. The membrane disruption occurs as a result of secondary responses. Herbicides that inhibit Photosystem I are represented by only one family, the bipyridyliums. See chemical structure shown under herbicide families. These molecules are cationic (positively charged) and are therefore highly water soluble. Their cationic properties also make them highly adsorbed to soil colloids resulting in no soil activity. 2. Mode of Action See Figure 7.1 (The electron transport chain in photosynthesis and the sites of action of herbicides that interfere with electron transfer in this chain (Q = electron acceptor; PQ = plastoquinone).

  • Fructose As an Endogenous Toxin
    HEPATOCYTE MOLECULAR CYTOTOXIC MECHANISM STUDY OF FRUCTOSE AND ITS METABOLITES INVOLVED IN NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS AND HYPEROXALURIA By Yan (Cynthia) Feng A thesis submitted in the conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Yan (Cynthia) Feng 2010 ABSTRACT HEPATOCYTE MOLECULAR CYTOTOXIC MECHANISM STUDY OF FRUCTOSE AND ITS METABOLITES INVOLVED IN NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS AND HYPEROXALURIA Yan (Cynthia) Feng Master of Science, 2010 Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences University of Toronto High chronic fructose consumption is linked to a nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) type of hepatotoxicity. Oxalate is the major endpoint of fructose metabolism, which accumulates in the kidney causing renal stone disease. Both diseases are life-threatening if not treated. Our objective was to study the molecular cytotoxicity mechanisms of fructose and some of its metabolites in the liver. Fructose metabolites were incubated with primary rat hepatocytes, but cytotoxicity only occurred if the hepatocytes were exposed to non-toxic amounts of hydrogen peroxide such as those released by activated immune cells. Glyoxal was most likely the endogenous toxin responsible for fructose induced toxicity formed via autoxidation of the fructose metabolite glycolaldehyde catalyzed by superoxide radicals, or oxidation by Fenton’s hydroxyl radicals. As for hyperoxaluria, glyoxylate was more cytotoxic than oxalate presumably because of the formation of condensation product oxalomalate causing mitochondrial toxicity and oxidative stress. Oxalate toxicity likely involved pro-oxidant iron complex formation. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to dedicate this thesis to my family. To my parents, thank you for the sacrifices you have made for me, thank you for always being there, loving me and supporting me throughout my life.

  • Itraq-Based Proteome Profiling Revealed the Role of Phytochrome A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN iTRAQ‑based proteome profling revealed the role of Phytochrome A in regulating primary metabolism in tomato seedling Sherinmol Thomas1, Rakesh Kumar2,3, Kapil Sharma2, Abhilash Barpanda1, Yellamaraju Sreelakshmi2, Rameshwar Sharma2 & Sanjeeva Srivastava1* In plants, during growth and development, photoreceptors monitor fuctuations in their environment and adjust their metabolism as a strategy of surveillance. Phytochromes (Phys) play an essential role in plant growth and development, from germination to fruit development. FR‑light (FR) insensitive mutant (fri) carries a recessive mutation in Phytochrome A and is characterized by the failure to de‑etiolate in continuous FR. Here we used iTRAQ‑based quantitative proteomics along with metabolomics to unravel the role of Phytochrome A in regulating central metabolism in tomato seedlings grown under FR. Our results indicate that Phytochrome A has a predominant role in FR‑mediated establishment of the mature seedling proteome. Further, we observed temporal regulation in the expression of several of the late response proteins associated with central metabolism. The proteomics investigations identifed a decreased abundance of enzymes involved in photosynthesis and carbon fxation in the mutant. Profound accumulation of storage proteins in the mutant ascertained the possible conversion of sugars into storage material instead of being used or the retention of an earlier profle associated with the mature embryo. The enhanced accumulation of organic sugars in the seedlings indicates the absence of photomorphogenesis in the mutant. Plant development is intimately bound to the external light environment. Light drives photosynthetic carbon fxa- tion and activates a set of signal-transducing photoreceptors that regulate plant growth and development.

  • Predictive Direct Flux Control—A New Control Method of Voltage Source Inverters in Distributed Generation Applications
    energies Article Predictive Direct Flux Control—A New Control Method of Voltage Source Inverters in Distributed Generation Applications Jiefeng Hu Department of Electrical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China; [email protected]; Tel.: +852-2766-6140 Academic Editor: Frede Blaabjerg Received: 16 February 2017; Accepted: 21 March 2017; Published: 23 March 2017 Abstract: Voltage source inverters (VSIs) have been widely utilized in electric drives and distributed generations (DGs), where electromagnetic torque, currents and voltages are usually the control objectives. The inverter flux, defined as the integral of the inverter voltage, however, is seldom studied. Although a conventional flux control approach has been developed, it presents major drawbacks of large flux ripples, leading to distorted inverter output currents and large power ripples. This paper proposes a new control strategy of VSIs by controlling the inverter flux. To improve the system’s steady-state and transient performance, a predictive control scheme is adopted. The flux amplitude and flux angle can be well regulated by choosing the optimum inverter control action according to formulated selection criteria. Hence, the inverter flux can be controlled to have a specified magnitude and a specified position relative to the grid flux with less ripples. This results in a satisfactory line current performance with a fast transient response. The proposed predictive direct flux control (PDFC) method is tested in a 3 MW high-power grid-connected VSI system in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness. Keywords: voltage source inverter (VSI); predictive control; inverter flux 1. Introduction Pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) have been widely used in power electronics, and their control has been extensively studied in the last decades.
