  • Annotation of Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis Pathways
    A metabolic insight into the Asian citrus psyllid: Annotation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways Blessy Tamayo, Kyle Kercher, Tom D’Elia, Helen Wiersma-Koch, Surya Saha, Teresa Shippy, Susan J. Brown, and Prashant Hosmani Introduction Glycolysis, as in other animals, is the major metabolic pathway that insects use to extract energy from carbohydrates [1]. This process consists of ten reactions that convert one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate within the cytosol, generating a net gain of two molecules of ATP. Simple carbohydrates are acquired through the insect diet and processed through glycolysis and the central carbohydrate metabolic steps. Comparative genomic analysis of Apis mellifera, Drosophila melanogaster, and Anopheles gambiae has revealed the presence of genes for metabolic pathways that support dietary habits dependent on sugar-rich substrates ([2]; [3]; [4]; [5]). In addition to processing sugars for energy, glycolysis also serves as a central pathway that serves as both a source of important precursors and destination for key intermediates from many metabolic pathways. Gluconeogenesis is the process through which glucose is synthesized from non- carbohydrate substrates, and is closely associated with glycolysis. Eleven enzymatic reactions occur during gluconeogenesis. Eight of the enzymes involved in the steps also catalyze the reverse reactions in glycolysis and the three remaining enzymes are specific to gluconeogenesis. 1 Gluconeogenesis generated carbohydrates are required as substrate for anaerobic glycolysis, synthesis of chitin, glycoproteins, polyols and glycoside detoxication products [1]. Gluconeogenesis is essential in insects to maintain sugar homeostasis and serves as the initial process towards the generation of glucose disaccharide trehalose, which is the main circulating sugar in the insect hemolymph ([6]; [7]).

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.

  • Phosphoglycerate Mutase Deficiency
    Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency Description Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency is a disorder that primarily affects muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles). Beginning in childhood or adolescence, affected individuals experience muscle aches or cramping following strenuous physical activity. Some people with this condition also have recurrent episodes of myoglobinuria. Myoglobinuria occurs when muscle tissue breaks down abnormally and releases a protein called myoglobin, which is processed by the kidneys and released in the urine. If untreated, myoglobinuria can lead to kidney failure. In some cases of phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency, microscopic tube-shaped structures called tubular aggregates are seen in muscle fibers. It is unclear how tubular aggregates are associated with the signs and symptoms of the disorder. Frequency Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency is a rare condition; about 15 affected people have been reported in the medical literature. Most affected individuals have been African American. Causes Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency is caused by mutations in the PGAM2 gene. This gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called phosphoglycerate mutase, which is involved in a critical energy-producing process in cells known as glycolysis. During glycolysis, the simple sugar glucose is broken down to produce energy. The version of phosphoglycerate mutase produced from the PGAM2 gene is found primarily in skeletal muscle cells. Mutations in the PGAM2 gene greatly reduce the activity of phosphoglycerate mutase, which disrupts energy production in these cells. This defect underlies the muscle cramping and myoglobinuria that occur after strenuous exercise in affected individuals. Learn more about the gene associated with Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency • PGAM2 Reprinted from MedlinePlus Genetics (https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/) 1 I nheritance This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the PGAM2 gene in each cell have mutations.

I'm Dr. Bogdan Fedeles. Let's metabolize FEDELES: some problems. Today we're discussing problem 2 of problem set 6. Here we're going to explore in more detail the mechanism of phosphoglycerate mutase, which is the eighth enzyme in glycolysis. It's the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate. Generally speaking, mutases are enzymes that catalyze the shift of a functional group between two similar positions of a molecule. In the case of phosphoglycerate mutase, this enzyme catalyzes the transfer of the phosphate group from the 3 position of glycerate to the 2 position of glycerate. In 5.07, you will encounter several mutases. Similar to phosphoglycerate mutase, there is a bisphosphoglycerate mutase, which converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Now, this reaction is very important when it happens in the red blood cells. Another mutase you will encounter is in the glycogen breakdown pathway. It's called phosphoglucomutase and converts glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate. Now finally, the most intriguing of them all is the methylmalonyl-coa mutase, which is a fascinating enzyme that converts methylmalonyl-coA to succinyl-coA. In this reaction, it rearranges this carbon skeleton of the molecule, and it requires adenosylcobalamin, which is a co-factor derived from vitamin B12.

Oral bacteria have been shown to cause an array of systemic diseases and are particularly concerning to type II diabetics (T2D) with numerous predispositions that exacerbate bacterial infection. In this dissertation, we investigated the serum of healthy subjects and T2D subjects to determine whether we see greater translocation of oral bacteria into the bloodstream of T2D indiviDuals. We didn’t observe any significant enrichment of oral taxa, however we detected the presence of an emerging pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii that is also associated with impaired inflammation in T2D. While some are associated with disease, many oral taxa are important in the pre- vention of disease. In this dissertation we investigated the interactions between two abundant health-associated commensal microbes, Haemophilus parainfluenzae and Streptococcus mitis. We demonstrated that H. parainfluenzae typically exists adjacent to Mitis group streptococci in vivo in healthy subjects.

  • Multiple Enzyme Purifications from Muscle Extracts by Using Affinity-Elution- Chromatographic Procedures
    Biochem. J. (1977) 161, 265-277 265 Printed in Great Britain Multiple Enzyme Purifications from Muscle Extracts by using Affinity-Elution- Chromatographic Procedures By ROBERT K. SCOPES Department ofBiochemistry, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Vic. 3083, Australia (Received 20 July 1976) 1. Starting with (NH4)2SO4 fractions of muscle extracts, procedures for purifying four to six separate enzymes from each fraction by using affinity-elution-chromatographic techniques are described. 2. Schemes for purifying 12 separate enzymes from rabbit muscle, and eight from chicken muscle extracts, are included. In nearly all cases the overall procedure involves three steps: the initial (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, the ion- exchange chromatography with affinity elution of the enzyme, and gel filtration. The specific activities of the enzymes so purified are comparable with the highest values in the literature. 3. The five schemes described include illustrations of affinity elution of the separate enzymes at different pH values, at different ionic strengths and in combination with conventional gradient elution. They also include stepwise adsorption on columns at different pH values. 4. Separation of two electrophoretically differing forms of phospho- glycerate kinase was achieved by gradient affinity elution from CM-cellulose. The lower-pI form was eluted by a lower concentration of substrate than the higher-pI form.

  • Crystal Structure of Human B-Type Phosphoglycerate Mutase Bound with Citrate Q
    BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 331 (2005) 1207–1215 www.elsevier.com/locate/ybbrc Crystal structure of human B-type phosphoglycerate mutase bound with citrate q Yanli Wang a,b, Zhiyi Wei a,b, Lin Liu a,b, Zhongjun Cheng a,b, Yajing Lin a, Fengyuan Ji a, Weimin Gong a,b,* a National Laboratory of Biomacromolecules, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, PR China b School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026, PR China Received 10 March 2005 Available online 19 April 2005 Abstract The B-type cofactor-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase (dPGM-B) catalyzes the interconversion of 2-phosphoglycerate and 3-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways using 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate as the cofactor. The crystal structures of human dPGM-B bound with citrate were determined in two crystal forms. These structures reveal a dimerization mode conserved in both of dPGM and BPGM (bisphosphoglycerate mutase), based on which a dPGM/BPGM heterodimer structure is proposed. Structural comparison supports that the conformational changes of residues 13–21 and 98–117 determine PGM/BPGM activity dif- ferences. The citrate-binding mode suggests a substrate-binding model, consistent with the structure of Escherichia coli dPGM/van- adate complex. A chloride ion was found in the center of the dimer, providing explanation for the contribution of chloride ion to dPGM activities. Based on the structural information, the possible reasons for the deficient human dPGM mutations found in some patients are also discussed. Ó 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
