Differential Control of Dntp Biosynthesis and Genome Integrity
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Diferential control of dNTP biosynthesis and genome integrity maintenance by the dUTPase Received: 6 November 2015 Accepted: 12 June 2017 superfamily enzymes Published online: 20 July 2017 Rita Hirmondo1, Anna Lopata1, Eva Viola Suranyi1,2, Beata G. Vertessy1,2 & Judit Toth1 dUTPase superfamily enzymes generate dUMP, the obligate precursor for de novo dTTP biosynthesis, from either dUTP (monofunctional dUTPase, Dut) or dCTP (bifunctional dCTP deaminase/dUTPase, Dcd:dut). In addition, the elimination of dUTP by these enzymes prevents harmful uracil incorporation into DNA. These two benefcial outcomes have been thought to be related. Here we determined the relationship between dTTP biosynthesis (dTTP/dCTP balance) and the prevention of DNA uracilation in a mycobacterial model that encodes both the Dut and Dcd:dut enzymes, and has no other ways to produce dUMP. We show that, in dut mutant mycobacteria, the dTTP/dCTP balance remained unchanged, but the uracil content of DNA increased in parallel with the in vitro activity-loss of Dut accompanied with a considerable increase in the mutation rate. Conversely, dcd:dut inactivation resulted in perturbed dTTP/dCTP balance and two-fold increased mutation rate, but did not increase the uracil content of DNA. Thus, unexpectedly, the regulation of dNTP balance and the prevention of DNA uracilation are decoupled and separately brought about by the Dcd:dut and Dut enzymes, respectively. Available evidence suggests that the discovered functional separation is conserved in humans and other organisms. Proper control of the intracellular concentration of deoxyribonucleoside-5-triphosphates (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA, is critically important for efcient and high-fdelity DNA replication and genomic stability1, 2.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Comparative Analysis of High-Throughput Assays of Family-1 Plant Glycosyltransferases Kate McGraphery and Wilfried Schwab * Biotechnology of Natural Products, Technische Universität München, 85354 Freising, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-8161-712-912; Fax: +49-8161-712-950 Received: 27 January 2020; Accepted: 21 March 2020; Published: 23 March 2020 Abstract: The ability of glycosyltransferases (GTs) to reduce volatility, increase solubility, and thus alter the bioavailability of small molecules through glycosylation has attracted immense attention in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries. The lack of GTs known and the scarcity of high-throughput (HTP) available methods, hinders the extrapolation of further novel applications. In this study, the applicability of new GT-assays suitable for HTP screening was tested and compared with regard to harmlessness, robustness, cost-eﬀectiveness and reproducibility. The UDP-Glo GT-assay, Phosphate GT Activity assay, pH-sensitive GT-assay, and UDP2-TR-FRET assay were applied and tailored to plant UDP GTs (UGTs). Vitis vinifera (UGT72B27) GT was subjected to glycosylation reaction with various phenolics. Substrate screening and kinetic parameters were evaluated. The pH-sensitive assay and the UDP2-TR-FRET assay were incomparable and unsuitable for HTP plant GT-1 family UGT screening. Furthermore, the UDP-Glo GT-assay and the Phosphate GT Activity assay yielded closely similar and reproducible KM, vmax, and kcat values. Therefore, with the easy experimental set-up and rapid readout, the two assays are suitable for HTP screening and quantitative kinetic analysis of plant UGTs. This research sheds light on new and emerging HTP assays, which will allow for analysis of novel family-1 plant GTs and will uncover further applications.

Received: 14 May 2019; Accepted: 27 May 2019; Published: 6 June 2019 Abstract: Protein inhibitors of key DNA repair enzymes play an important role in deciphering physiological pathways responsible for genome integrity, and may also be exploited in biomedical research. The staphylococcal repressor StlSaPIbov1 protein was described to be an efficient inhibitor of dUTPase homologues showing a certain degree of species-specificity. In order to provide insight into the inhibition mechanism, in the present study we investigated the interaction of StlSaPIbov1 and Escherichia coli dUTPase. Although we observed a strong interaction of these proteins, unexpectedly the E. coli dUTPase was not inhibited. Seeking a structural explanation for this phenomenon, we identified a key amino acid position where specific mutations sensitized E.

PURINE SALVAGE in HELICOBACTER PYLORI by ERICA FRANCESCA MILLER (Under the Direction of Robert J. Maier) ABSTRACT Purines Are Es
PURINE SALVAGE IN HELICOBACTER PYLORI by ERICA FRANCESCA MILLER (Under the Direction of Robert J. Maier) ABSTRACT Purines are essential for all living cells. This fact is reflected in the high degree of pathway conservation for purine metabolism across all domains of life. The availability of purines within a mammalian host is thought to be a limiting factor for infection, as demonstrated by the importance of purine synthesis and salvage genes among many bacterial pathogens. Helicobacter pylori, a primary causative agent of peptic ulcers and gastric cancers, colonizes a niche that is otherwise uninhabited by bacteria: the surface of the human gastric epithelium. Despite many studies over the past 30 years that have addressed virulence mechanisms such as acid resistance, little knowledge exists regarding this organism’s purine metabolism. To fill this gap in knowledge, we asked whether H. pylori can carry out de novo purine biosynthesis, and whether its purine salvage network is complete. Based on genomic data from the fully sequenced H. pylori genomes, we combined mutant analysis with physiological studies to determine that H. pylori, by necessity, must acquire purines from its human host. Furthermore, we found the purine salvage network to be complete, allowing this organism to use any single purine nucleobase or nucleoside for growth. In the process of elucidating these pathways, we discovered a nucleoside transporter in H. pylori that, in contrast to the biochemically- characterized homolog NupC, aids in uptake of purine rather than pyrimidine nucleosides into the cell. Lastly, we investigated an apparent pathway gap in the genome annotation—that of adenine degradation—and in doing so uncovered a new family of adenosine deaminase that lacks sequence homology with all other adenosine deaminases studied to date.

Colorimetric Protein Assays
protein assays tech note 1069 Colorimetric Protein Assays Introduction Bio-Rad offers four colorimetric assays for protein quantitation: the Quick Start™ Bradford protein assay, the Bio-Rad protein assay for general use, the DC™ protein Quick Start Bradford Bio-Rad RC DC Protein Assay Protein Assay assay for samples solubilized in detergent, and the RC DC™ protein assay for samples in the presence of both reducing agents and detergents. The need for all types of assays is clear. The Quick Start Bradford protein assay comes with prediluted standards and 1x dye reagent for maximum convenience and ease of use. Both the Quick Start Bradford DC Protein Assay RC DC Protein Assay and Bio-Rad protein assays can be used to assay samples in common buffers, but are sensitive to many detergents Sedmak and Grossberg 1977). Bradford (1976) first present in concentrations greater than 0.1%; the DC protein demonstrated the usefulness of this principle in protein assay can be used to assay protein in the presence of 1% assays.

Inositol Intended Use Inositol Disc Is Used to Differentiate Bacteria on Their Ability to Ferment Carbohydrates
Inositol Intended Use Inositol Disc is used to differentiate bacteria on their ability to ferment carbohydrates. Summary In 1949, Soto developed miniaturized fermentation tests using carbohydrate impregnated paper discs. Sanders et al. subsequently developed a screening method for identification of Enterobacteriaceae using reagent impregnated discs. The ability of an organism to ferment specific carbohydrate incorporated in a basal medium, resulting in production of acid and gas, has been used to characterize bacteria and help in differentiation. Principle Carbohydrate impregnated on the discs when added to culture medium diffuses through the medium. When the microorganism ferments the carbohydrate, acid or acid and gas is produced which lowers the pH of the medium. Indicator in the medium changes the colour; e.g., phenol red changes from red to orange to yellow. Specimen sample Discs are not intended for testing mixed flora. The organism to be tested should first be isolated as single colonies. Directions Solid Media Sterile plates containing the agar medium of choice are surface seeded with test organism(s) and required carbohydrate discs are placed and pressed gently on the surface of the plate at sufficient distance from (2 cm) from each other. Incubation is carried out at 35°C-37°C and plates are examined after 18-48 hours. Media recommended: Phenol Red Agar Base (201160080500 / 201160080500) Purple Agar Base (201160350500 / 201160350500) Liquid Media Carbohydrate discs are transferred aseptically to tubes containing 5mL of appropriate broth. Inoculum is then introduced in the medium. Incubation is carried out at 35°C-37°C and tubes are examined after 18-48 hours.
