A metabonomic strategy employing 1H-NMR spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis was used to examine weaned rat biological responses to PP supplementation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (post-natal day 21, PD 21) received probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM (L-NCFM) and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 (B-LBi07), 1 : 1, 1.0 Â 1011 cfu kgÀ1) and prebiotics (Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP), Poria cocos polysaccharides (PCPs) and Lentinan, À1 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. 1 : 1 : 1, 24 g kg ) via intragastric administration for 28 consecutive days. Urine and feces were collected for analysis. Significant topographical metabolic variations were present in urine and feces. Urinary metabolites upregulated by PP treatment included alanine, N-acetylglycine, glutamine, dimethylamine, phosphorylcholine, ethylene glycol, mannitol, phenylacetylglycine and glycoate, which were related to alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and choline metabolism. Feces-derived metabolites, including caproate, valerate, butyrate, propionate, lactate, acetate, succinate, methanol, threonine and methionine, were significantly increased, which were related to short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism Received 2nd November 2017 and TCA cycle metabolism.

Kriel1*, Tiaan Heunis1,2, Samantha L. Sampson1, Nico C. Gey van Pittius1, Monique J. Williams1,3† and Robin M. Warren1† Abstract Background: Transcriptional responses required to maintain cellular homeostasis or to adapt to environmental stress, is in part mediated by several nucleic-acid associated proteins. In this study, we sought to establish an affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) approach that would enable the collective identification of nucleic acid- associated proteins in mycobacteria. We hypothesized that targeting the RNA polymerase complex through affinity purification would allow for the identification of RNA- and DNA-associated proteins that not only maintain the bacterial chromosome but also enable transcription and translation. Results: AP-MS analysis of the RNA polymerase β-subunit cross-linked to nucleic acids identified 275 putative nucleic acid-associated proteins in the model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis under standard culturing conditions. The AP-MS approach successfully identified proteins that are known to make up the RNA polymerase complex, as well as several other known RNA polymerase complex-associated proteins such as a DNA polymerase, sigma factors, transcriptional regulators, and helicases. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of the identified proteins revealed that this approach selected for proteins with GO terms associated with nucleic acids and cellular metabolism. Importantly, we identified several proteins of unknown function not previously known to be associated with nucleic acids.

  • NUCLEOTIDE METABOLISM Mark Rush
    NUCLEOTIDE METABOLISM Mark Rush Nucleotides serve various metabolic functions. For example, they are: • Substrates (building blocks) for nucleic acid biosynthesis and repair, • The main storage form of “high energy phosphate”, • Components of many “so-called” co-enzymes (NAD, NADP, FAD, CoA), • Components of many activated metabolic intermediates (such as UDPG, SAM), • Major allosteric effectors (such as AMP, ADP, ATP, GTP), • Major second messengers (such as 3',5' cAMP), and • Precursors for the biosynthesis of a variety of important compounds (such as biopterin and histidine). Nucleotide biochemistry can be treated both as an aspect of nitrogen metabolism, along with such compounds as amino acids and porphyrins, and as an aspect of nucleic acid metabolism. When the focus is on the biosynthesis and degradation of nucleotides, in other words on their turnover, the treatment is similar to that of other nitrogenous compounds. When the focus is on the role of nucleotides in overall nucleic acid metabolism, the treatment is included in molecular biology. Both aspects will be considered here with the major emphasis directed toward relating defects in nucleotide turnover to either metabolic diseases or chemotherapy. I. Nomenclature (pages 11 and 12).

  • Omics-Based Analyses Revealed Metabolic Responses of Clostridium Acetobutylicum to Lignocellulose-Derived Inhibitors Furfural, F
    Liu et al. Biotechnol Biofuels (2019) 12:101 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-019-1440-9 Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Omics-based analyses revealed metabolic responses of Clostridium acetobutylicum to lignocellulose-derived inhibitors furfural, formic acid and phenol stress for butanol fermentation Huanhuan Liu1,2, Jing Zhang1,2, Jian Yuan3, Xiaolong Jiang3, Lingyan Jiang3, Guang Zhao4, Di Huang3* and Bin Liu3* Abstract Background: Clostridium acetobutylicum is a model fermentative anaerobe for consolidated bioprocessing of ligno- cellulose hydrolysates into acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE). However, the main inhibitors (acids, furans and phenols) ubiquitous in lignocellulose hydrolysates strictly limit the conversion efciency. Thus, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms of lignocellulose hydrolysate inhibitors to identify key industrial bottlenecks that undermine efcient biofuel production. The recently developed omics strategy for intracellular metabolites and protein quantif- cation now allow for the in-depth mapping of strain metabolism and thereby enable the resolution of the underlying mechanisms. Results: The toxicity of the main inhibitors in lignocellulose hydrolysates against C. acetobutylicum and ABE produc- tion was systematically investigated, and the changes in intracellular metabolism were analyzed by metabolomics and proteomics. The toxicity of the main lignocellulose hydrolysate inhibitors at the same dose was ranked as fol- lows: formic acid > phenol > furfural. Metabolomic analysis based on weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed that the three inhibitors triggered the stringent response of C. acetobutylicum. Proteomic analysis based on peptide mass spectrometry (MS) supported the above results and provided more comprehensive conclu- sions. Under the stress of three inhibitors, the metabolites and key enzymes/proteins involved in glycolysis, reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, acetone–butanol synthesis and redox metabolism were lower than those in the control group.

However, the culture system reportedly does not recapitulate the in vivo cancer microenvi- Citation: Ikari, R.; Mukaisho, K.-i.; ronment.
