  • Indications for a Central Role of Hexokinase Activity in Natural Variation of Heat Acclimation in Arabidopsis Thaliana
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 14 June 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202006.0169.v1 Article Indications for a central role of hexokinase activity in natural variation of heat acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana Vasil Atanasov §, Lisa Fürtauer § and Thomas Nägele * LMU Munich, Plant Evolutionary Cell Biology, Großhaderner Str. 2-4, 82152 Planegg, Germany § Authors contributed equally * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Diurnal and seasonal changes of abiotic environmental factors shape plant performance and distribution. Changes of growth temperature and light intensity may vary significantly on a diurnal, but also on a weekly or seasonal scale. Hence, acclimation to a changing temperature and light regime is essential for plant survival and propagation. In the present study, we analyzed photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and metabolic regulation of the central carbohydrate metabolism in two natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana originating from Russia and south Italy during exposure to heat and a combination of heat and high light. Our findings indicate that it is hardly possible to predict photosynthetic capacities to fix CO2 under combined stress from single stress experiments. Further, capacities of hexose phosphorylation were found to be significantly lower in the Italian than in the Russian accession which could explain an inverted sucrose-to-hexose ratio. Together with the finding of significantly stronger accumulation of anthocyanins under heat/high light these observations indicate a central role of hexokinase activity in stabilization of photosynthetic capacities within a changing environment. Keywords: photosynthesis; carbohydrate metabolism; hexokinase; heat acclimation; environmental changes; natural variation; high light; combined stress. 1. Introduction Changes of growth temperature and light intensity broadly affect plant molecular, physiological and developmental processes.

  • Non-Homologous Isofunctional Enzymes: a Systematic Analysis Of
    Omelchenko et al. Biology Direct 2010, 5:31 http://www.biology-direct.com/content/5/1/31 RESEARCH Open Access Non-homologousResearch isofunctional enzymes: A systematic analysis of alternative solutions in enzyme evolution Marina V Omelchenko, Michael Y Galperin*, Yuri I Wolf and Eugene V Koonin Abstract Background: Evolutionarily unrelated proteins that catalyze the same biochemical reactions are often referred to as analogous - as opposed to homologous - enzymes. The existence of numerous alternative, non-homologous enzyme isoforms presents an interesting evolutionary problem; it also complicates genome-based reconstruction of the metabolic pathways in a variety of organisms. In 1998, a systematic search for analogous enzymes resulted in the identification of 105 Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers that included two or more proteins without detectable sequence similarity to each other, including 34 EC nodes where proteins were known (or predicted) to have distinct structural folds, indicating independent evolutionary origins. In the past 12 years, many putative non-homologous isofunctional enzymes were identified in newly sequenced genomes. In addition, efforts in structural genomics resulted in a vastly improved structural coverage of proteomes, providing for definitive assessment of (non)homologous relationships between proteins. Results: We report the results of a comprehensive search for non-homologous isofunctional enzymes (NISE) that yielded 185 EC nodes with two or more experimentally characterized - or predicted - structurally unrelated proteins. Of these NISE sets, only 74 were from the original 1998 list. Structural assignments of the NISE show over-representation of proteins with the TIM barrel fold and the nucleotide-binding Rossmann fold. From the functional perspective, the set of NISE is enriched in hydrolases, particularly carbohydrate hydrolases, and in enzymes involved in defense against oxidative stress.

Mediator MED23 is involved in adipogenesis and smooth muscle cell differentiation, suggesting its role in energy homeostasis. Here, through the generation and analysis of a liver-specific Med23-knockout mouse, we found that liver Med23 deletion improved glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as insulin responsiveness, and prevented diet-induced obesity. Remarkably, acute hepatic Med23 knockdown in db/db mice significantly improved the lipid profile and glucose tolerance. Mechanistically, MED23 participates in gluconeogenesis and cholesterol synthesis through modulating the transcriptional activity of FOXO1, a key metabolic transcription factor. Indeed, hepatic Med23 deletion impaired the Mediator and RNAPII recruitment and attenuated the expression of FOXO1 target genes. Moreover, this functional interaction between FOXO1 and MED23 is evolutionarily conserved, as the in vivo activities of dFOXO in larval fat body and in adult wing can be partially blocked by Med23 knockdown in Drosophila.

The case is exceptional in that there was no evidence of gypsy blood in the family concerned. The investigation of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia led to the discovery of galactosuria. As noted by others, the paucity of presenting features makes early diagnosis difficult, and detection by biochemical screening seems desirable. Cataract formation, of early onset, appears to be the only severe persisting complication and may be due to the biosynthesis and accumulation of galactitol in the lens.

  • Labeled in Thecourse of Glycolysis, Since Phosphoglycerate Kinase
    THE STATE OF MAGNESIUM IN CELLS AS ESTIMATED FROM THE ADENYLATE KINASE EQUILIBRIUM* BY TRWIN A. RoSE THE INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH, PHILADELPHIA Communicated by Thomas F. Anderson, August 30, 1968 Magnesium functions in many enzymatic reactions as a cofactor and in com- plex with nucleotides acting as substrates. Numerous examples of a possible regulatory role of Mg can be cited from studies with isolated enzymes,'- and it is known that Mg affects the structural integrity of macromolecules such as trans- fer RNA" and functional elements such as ribosomes.'0 The major problem in translating this information on isolated preparations to the functioning cell is the difficulty in determining the distribution of Mg and the nucleotides among the free and complexed forms that function in the region of the cell for which this information is desired. Nanningall based an attempt to calculate the free Mg2+ and Ca2+ ion concentrations of frog muscle on the total content of these metals and of the principal known ligands (adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), creatine-P, and myosin) and the dissociation constants of the complexes. However, this method suffers from the necessity of evaluating the contribution of all ligands as well as from the assumption that all the known ligands are contributing their full complexing capacity. During studies concerned with the control of glycolysis in red cells and the control of the phosphoglycerate kinase step in particular, it became important to determine the fractions of the cell's ATP and adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) that were present as Mg complexes. Just as the problem of determining the distribution of protonated and dissociated forms of an acid can be solved from a knowledge of pH and pKa of the acid, so it would be possible to determine the liganded and free forms of all rapidly established Mg complexes from a knowledge of Mg2+ ion concentration and the appropriate dissociation constants.

Sucrose can be utilized as a major source of energy. Sucrose includes sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, maple sugar pineapple, ripe fruits and honey Corn syrup is recognized as high fructose corn syrup which gives the impression that it is very rich in fructose content but the difference between the fructose content in sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is only 5-10%. HFCS is rich in fructose because the sucrose extracted from the corn syrup is treated with the enzyme that converts some glucose in fructose which makes it more sweet.

    Investigation Of The Behavior Of The Gal4 Inhibitor Gal80 Of The GAL Genetic Switch 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 Sudip Goswami, M.S. Graduate Program in Molecular Genetics The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee Dr. James Hopper, Advisor Dr. Stephen Osmani Dr. Hay-Oak Park Dr. Jian-Qiu Wu ii Copyright by Sudip Goswami 2014 iii ABSTRACT The DNA-binding transcriptional activator Gal4 and its regulators Gal80 and Gal3 constitute a galactose-responsive switch for the GAL genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Gal4 binds to upstream activation sequences or UASGAL sites on GAL gene promoters as a dimer both in the absence and presence of galactose. In the absence of galactose, a Gal80 dimer binds to and masKs the Gal4 activation domain, inhibiting its activity. In the presence of galactose, Gal3 interacts with Gal80 and relieves Gal80’s inhibition of Gal4 activity allowing rapid induction of expression of GAL genes. In the first part of this work (Chapter 2) in-vitro chemical crosslinking coupled with SDS PAGE and native PAGE analysis were employed to show that the presence of Gal3 that can interact with Gal80 impairs Gal80 self association. In addition, live cell spinning disK confocal imaging showed that dissipation of newly discovered Gal80-2mYFP/2GFP clusters in galactose is dependent on Gal3’s ability to interact with Gal80. In the second part (Chapter 3), extensive analysis of Gal80 clusters was carried out which showed that these clusters associate strongly with the GAL1-10-7 locus and this association is dependent on the presence of the UASGAL sites at this locus.
