  • Remodeling Adipose Tissue Through in Silico Modulation of Fat Storage For
    Chénard et al. BMC Systems Biology (2017) 11:60 DOI 10.1186/s12918-017-0438-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Remodeling adipose tissue through in silico modulation of fat storage for the prevention of type 2 diabetes Thierry Chénard2, Frédéric Guénard3, Marie-Claude Vohl3,4, André Carpentier5, André Tchernof4,6 and Rafael J. Najmanovich1* Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading non-infectious diseases worldwide and closely relates to excess adipose tissue accumulation as seen in obesity. Specifically, hypertrophic expansion of adipose tissues is related to increased cardiometabolic risk leading to type 2 diabetes. Studying mechanisms underlying adipocyte hypertrophy could lead to the identification of potential targets for the treatment of these conditions. Results: We present iTC1390adip, a highly curated metabolic network of the human adipocyte presenting various improvements over the previously published iAdipocytes1809. iTC1390adip contains 1390 genes, 4519 reactions and 3664 metabolites. We validated the network obtaining 92.6% accuracy by comparing experimental gene essentiality in various cell lines to our predictions of biomass production. Using flux balance analysis under various test conditions, we predict the effect of gene deletion on both lipid droplet and biomass production, resulting in the identification of 27 genes that could reduce adipocyte hypertrophy. We also used expression data from visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues to compare the effect of single gene deletions between adipocytes from each

TERNES Date of Degree: MAY, 2015 Title of Study: METABOLIC EVOLUTION IN GALDIERIA SULPHURARIA Major Field: PLANT SCIENCE Abstract: The thermoacidophilic, unicellular, red alga Galdieria sulphuraria possesses characteristics, including salt and heavy metal tolerance, unsurpassed by any other alga. Like most plastid bearing eukaryotes, G. sulphuraria can grow photoautotrophically. Additionally, it can also grow solely as a heterotroph, which results in the cessation of photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis. The ability to grow heterotrophically is likely correlated with G. sulphuraria ’s broad capacity for carbon metabolism, which rivals that of fungi. Annotation of the metabolic pathways encoded by the genome of G. sulphuraria revealed several pathways that are uncharacteristic for plants and algae, even red algae. Phylogenetic analyses of the enzymes underlying the metabolic pathways suggest multiple instances of horizontal gene transfer, in addition to endosymbiotic gene transfer and conservation through ancestry. Although some metabolic pathways as a whole appear to be retained through ancestry, genes encoding individual enzymes within a pathway were substituted by genes that were acquired horizontally from other domains of life. Thus, metabolic pathways in G. sulphuraria appear to be composed of a ‘metabolic patchwork’, underscored by a mosaic of genes resulting from multiple evolutionary processes.

Abstract: Humulus lupulus L. is an essential source of aroma compounds, hop bitter acids, and xanthohumol derivatives mainly exploited as flavourings in beer brewing and with demonstrated potential for the treatment of certain diseases. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthesis of these compounds, the primary enzymes involved in the three major pathways of hops’ phytochemical composition are herein critically summarized. Hops’ phytochemical components impart bitterness, aroma, and antioxidant activity to beers. The biosynthesis pathways have been extensively studied and enzymes play essential roles in the processes. Here, we introduced the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of hop bitter acids, monoterpenes and xanthohumol deriva- tives, including the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT), branched-chain keto-acid dehydroge- nase (BCKDH), carboxyl CoA ligase (CCL), valerophenone synthase (VPS), prenyltransferase (PT), 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR), Geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS), monoterpene synthase enzymes (MTS), cinnamate Citation: Hong, K.; Wang, L.; 4-hydroxylase (C4H), chalcone synthase (CHS_H1), chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins (CHIL), Johnpaul, A.; Lv, C.; Ma, C.

  • Analysis of the Chromosomal Clustering of Fusarium-Responsive
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Analysis of the chromosomal clustering of Fusarium‑responsive wheat genes uncovers new players in the defence against head blight disease Alexandre Perochon1,2, Harriet R. Benbow1,2, Katarzyna Ślęczka‑Brady1, Keshav B. Malla1 & Fiona M. Doohan1* There is increasing evidence that some functionally related, co‑expressed genes cluster within eukaryotic genomes. We present a novel pipeline that delineates such eukaryotic gene clusters. Using this tool for bread wheat, we uncovered 44 clusters of genes that are responsive to the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum. As expected, these Fusarium‑responsive gene clusters (FRGCs) included metabolic gene clusters, many of which are associated with disease resistance, but hitherto not described for wheat. However, the majority of the FRGCs are non‑metabolic, many of which contain clusters of paralogues, including those implicated in plant disease responses, such as glutathione transferases, MAP kinases, and germin‑like proteins. 20 of the FRGCs encode nonhomologous, non‑metabolic genes (including defence‑related genes). One of these clusters includes the characterised Fusarium resistance orphan gene, TaFROG. Eight of the FRGCs map within 6 FHB resistance loci. One small QTL on chromosome 7D (4.7 Mb) encodes eight Fusarium‑ responsive genes, fve of which are within a FRGC. This study provides a new tool to identify genomic regions enriched in genes responsive to specifc traits of interest and applied herein it highlighted gene families, genetic loci and biological pathways of importance in the response of wheat to disease. Prokaryote genomes encode co-transcribed genes with related functions that cluster together within operons. Clusters of functionally related genes also exist in eukaryote genomes, including fungi, nematodes, mammals and plants1.

  • Adaptive Laboratory Evolution Enhances Methanol Tolerance and Conversion in Engineered Corynebacterium Glutamicum
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-0954-9 OPEN Adaptive laboratory evolution enhances methanol tolerance and conversion in engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum Yu Wang 1, Liwen Fan1,2, Philibert Tuyishime1, Jiao Liu1, Kun Zhang1,3, Ning Gao1,3, Zhihui Zhang1,3, ✉ ✉ 1234567890():,; Xiaomeng Ni1, Jinhui Feng1, Qianqian Yuan1, Hongwu Ma1, Ping Zheng1,2,3 , Jibin Sun1,3 & Yanhe Ma1 Synthetic methylotrophy has recently been intensively studied to achieve methanol-based biomanufacturing of fuels and chemicals. However, attempts to engineer platform micro- organisms to utilize methanol mainly focus on enzyme and pathway engineering. Herein, we enhanced methanol bioconversion of synthetic methylotrophs by improving cellular tolerance to methanol. A previously engineered methanol-dependent Corynebacterium glutamicum is subjected to adaptive laboratory evolution with elevated methanol content. Unexpectedly, the evolved strain not only tolerates higher concentrations of methanol but also shows improved growth and methanol utilization. Transcriptome analysis suggests increased methanol con- centrations rebalance methylotrophic metabolism by down-regulating glycolysis and up- regulating amino acid biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, ribosome biosynthesis, and parts of TCA cycle. Mutations in the O-acetyl-L-homoserine sulfhydrylase Cgl0653 catalyzing formation of L-methionine analog from methanol and methanol-induced membrane-bound transporter Cgl0833 are proven crucial for methanol tolerance.

  • Sequence Variation in the Dihydrofolate Reductase-Thymidylate Synthase (DHFR-TS) and Trypanothione Reductase (TR) Genes of Trypanosoma Cruzi
    Molecular & Biochemical Parasitology 121 (2002) 33Á/47 www.parasitology-online.com Sequence variation in the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) and trypanothione reductase (TR) genes of Trypanosoma cruzi Carlos A. Machado *, Francisco J. Ayala Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-2525, USA Received 15 November 2001; received in revised form 25 January 2002 Abstract Dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) and trypanothione reductase (TR) are important enzymes for the metabolism of protozoan parasites from the family Trypanosomatidae (e.g. Trypanosoma spp., Leishmania spp.) that are targets of current drug-design studies. Very limited information exists on the levels of genetic polymorphism of these enzymes in natural populations of any trypanosomatid parasite. We present results of a survey of nucleotide variation in the genes coding for those enzymes in a large sample of strains from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas’ disease. We discuss the results from an evolutionary perspective. A sample of 31 strains show 39 silent and five amino acid polymorphisms in DHFR-TS, and 35 silent and 11 amino acid polymorphisms in TR. No amino acid replacements occur in regions that are important for the enzymatic activity of these proteins, but some polymorphisms occur in sites previously assumed to be invariant. The sequences from both genes cluster in four major groups, a result that is not fully consistent with the current classification of T. cruzi in two major groups of strains. Most polymorphisms correspond to fixed differences among the four sequence groups. Two tests of neutrality show that there is no evidence of adaptivedivergence or of selectiveevents having shaped the distribution of polymorphisms and fixed differences in these genes in T.
