Remarkably, this approach can be efficiently physiological conditions, the leucine-rich repeat applied to identify neuronal E3 ligase substrates serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (LRRK2) (28, 29).

Nitrogen is involved in the biosynthesis Nitrogen of protein, amino acids, nucleotides, and other metabolites, including volatile compounds. However, recent Amino acids studies have called several mechanisms that regulate its role in biosynthesis into question. An initial focus on S. Ammonium cerevisiae has highlighted that the concept of “preferred” versus “non-preferred” nitrogen sources is extremely Alcoholic fermentation variable and strain-dependent. Then, the direct involvement of amino acids consumed in the formation of Yeasts proteins and volatile compounds has recently been reevaluated. Indeed, studies have highlighted the key role of Wine Volatile compounds lipids in nitrogen regulation in S. cerevisiae and their involvement in the mechanism of cell death. New wine- making strategies using non-Saccharomyces yeast strains in co- or sequential fermentation improve nitrogen management. Indeed, recent studies show that non-Saccharomyces yeasts have significant and specific needs for nitrogen. Moreover, sluggish fermentation can occur when they are associated with S. cerevisiae, necessitating nitrogen addition. In this context, we will present the consequences of nitrogen addition, discussing the sources, time of addition, transcriptome changes, and effect on volatile compound composition.

  • Genome-Wide Investigation of Cellular Functions for Trna Nucleus
    Genome-wide Investigation of Cellular Functions for tRNA Nucleus- Cytoplasm Trafficking in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hui-Yi Chu Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Anita K. Hopper, Advisor Stephen Osmani Kurt Fredrick Jane Jackman Copyright by Hui-Yi Chu 2012 Abstract In eukaryotic cells tRNAs are transcribed in the nucleus and exported to the cytoplasm for their essential role in protein synthesis. This export event was thought to be unidirectional. Surprisingly, several lines of evidence showed that mature cytoplasmic tRNAs shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm and their distribution is nutrient-dependent. This newly discovered tRNA retrograde process is conserved from yeast to vertebrates. Although how exactly the tRNA nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking is regulated is still under investigation, previous studies identified several transporters involved in tRNA subcellular dynamics. At least three members of the β-importin family function in tRNA nuclear-cytoplasmic intracellular movement: (1) Los1 functions in both the tRNA primary export and re-export processes; (2) Mtr10, directly or indirectly, is responsible for the constitutive retrograde import of cytoplasmic tRNA to the nucleus; (3) Msn5 functions solely in the re-export process. In this thesis I focus on the physiological role(s) of the tRNA nuclear retrograde pathway. One possibility is that nuclear accumulation of cytoplasmic tRNA serves to modulate translation of particular transcripts. To test this hypothesis, I compared expression profiles from non-translating mRNAs and polyribosome-bound translating mRNAs collected from msn5Δ and mtr10Δ mutants and wild-type cells, in fed or acute amino acid starvation conditions.

    fermentation Review Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts and Organic Wines Fermentation: Implications on Human Health Alice Vilela CQ-VR, Chemistry Research Centre, School of Life Sciences and Environment, Dep. of Biology and Environment, University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal; [email protected] Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 21 May 2020; Published: 25 May 2020 Abstract: A relevant trend in winemaking is to reduce the use of chemical compounds in both the vineyard and winery. In organic productions, synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms must be avoided, aiming to achieve the production of a “safer wine”. Safety represents a big threat all over the world, being one of the most important goals to be achieved in both Western society and developing countries. An occurrence in wine safety results in the recovery of a broad variety of harmful compounds for human health such as amines, carbamate, and mycotoxins. The perceived increase in sensory complexity and superiority of successful uninoculated wine fermentations, as well as a thrust from consumers looking for a more “natural” or “organic” wine, produced with fewer additives, and perceived health attributes has led to more investigations into the use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in winemaking, namely in organic wines. However, the use of copper and sulfur-based molecules as an alternative to chemical pesticides, in organic vineyards, seems to affect the composition of grape microbiota; high copper residues can be present in grape must and wine. This review aims to provide an overview of organic wine safety, when using indigenous and/or non-Saccharomyces yeasts to perform fermentation, with a special focus on some metabolites of microbial origin, namely, ochratoxin A (OTA) and other mycotoxins, biogenic amines (BAs), and ethyl carbamate (EC).

CASTRIC a and BRUCE LEVENBERG b, • a Department of BiologicalSciences, Duquesne University,Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219 and b Department of Biological Chemistry, The Universityof Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich. 48104 (U.S.A.) (Received December 16th, 1975) Summary Evidence is presented that the enzymes catalyzing the three reactions involved in urea cleavage in Candida utilis, biotin carboxylation, urea carboxylation, and allophanate hydrolysis occur as a complex of enzymes. The allophanate- hydrolyzing activity could not be separated from the urea-cleaving activity using common methods of protein purification. Further, urea cleavage and allophanate hydrolysis activities are induced coordinately in cells grown on various nitrogen sources. The reactions involved in urea cleavage can be distinguished from one another on the basis of their sensitivities to (a) heat, (b) pH, and (c) chemical inhibitors. Evidence is presented for the product of the first reaction in urea cleavage, biotin carboxylation. Production of carboxylated enzyme is ATP dependent and avidin sensitive. Carboxylated enzyme is not observed in the presence of 1 mM urea. Introduction Urea cleavage in Candida utilis [1] as well as certain other fungi [1--3] and some green algae [1,4] is mediated by urea amidolyase (EC 6.3.4-). The exami- nation of urea cleavage by urea amidolyase [5,6] has allowed the proposal of the following sequence of reactions for this process: Mg2+K + 1.

  • Supporting Information
    Supporting Information: Figure S1abcd. Supplementary phylogenetic trees. Values at nodes represent support from ML bootstrap pseudoreplicates. (a) Multi-gene ML phylogeny of Tremblaya within Betaproteobacteria inferred from 49 concatenated protein sequences. (b) Zoomed-in Tremblaya ML phylogeny inferred from the 16S-23S rRNA alignment. (c) Multi-gene mealybug ML phylogeny inferred from the 419 concatenated CEGMA protein sequences. (d) ML phylogeny of gammaproteobacterial symbionts inferred from the 16S-23S rRNA alignment. Clade labels A-G were adopted from Thao et al. 2002. Figure S2ab. Schematic diagrams of insect scaffolds containing HGTs involved in amino acid and B-vitamin metabolism. Insect exons (predicted by GeneMark ES) are color-coded as green rectangles and when in close proximity to HGTs, annotated by their putative functions. Genes of bacterial origin are highlighted in yellow. (a) Genome localization of bioABD, ribAD, lysA, dapF, and tms HGTs confirming that they are present on insect scaffolds. Only the longest scaffold for each HGT is shown as the scaffolds from different mealybug species share gene order. (b) Alignments of M. hirsutus, P. marginatus and F. virgata scaffolds showing cysK acquisition after divergence of Maconellicoccus clade and cysK duplication in F. virgata (also present in P. citri and P. longispinus), and riboflavin transporter duplication in P. marginatus. Figure S3a-u. Phylogenetic trees for individual HGTs. Values at nodes represent support from ML bootstrap pseudoreplicates. Extremely short inner branches were extended by dashed lines for better legibility. Table S1ab. Supplementary tables with Tremblaya gene information. (a) Gene order, functional categories from Clusters of Orthologous groups (COG), Enzyme Commission numbers (E.C.), protein products, and gene abbreviations for all Tremblaya genomes.
