These bioactive compounds are of great commercial interest due to their varied properties, such as anti- oxidative, anti-tumor and/or antibacterial. However, industrial production of flavonoids based on purification from plants or on their organic synthesis can be problematic. On the other hand, the so called bio-industrial production of a variety of compounds in microorganisms is gaining great popularity. The objective of this study is to produce naringenin and some of its derivatives in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for industrial production of flavonoids. By combining a balanced heterologous expression of (phenylpropanoid) naringenin biosynthetic pathway genes and the optimisation of yeast metabolism we developed a strain producing 430 mg/L of naringenin from glucose. In this set up naringenin was produced from phenylalanine by action of a phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) in a strain overproducing phenylalanine and tyrosine. As tyrosine can also be a precursor for naringenin production via tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL), we evaluated in vivo the activity of several TAL enzymes in S. cerevisiae. Most of the ammonia lyases have affinity to both phenylalanine and tyrosine, with a strong preference for phenylalanine. Some TALs have been described before but these either have very low overall activity on tyrosine or are also capable of using phenylalanine as substrate. Here we identified a novel TAL, an enzyme from Aeromonas salmonicida with relatively high activity towards tyrosine and no activity towards phenylalanine. Production of flavonoids and stilbenoids in S. cerevisiae is challenging, partially due to carbon loss towards phloretic acid by the action of an unknown endogenous reductase. Through the screening of 26 putative double bond reductase knockout strains we identified Tsc13 as the enzyme responsible for the reduction of p-coumaroyl-CoA to phloretic acid. Since Tsc13 is an essential enzyme, a combination of homology modelling and site-saturation mutagenesis was used to identify residues that would impair its activity towards p-coumaroyl-CoA without compromising cell growth. Several mutations leading to lower phloretic acid production were found and discussed. As an alternative approach we complemented the deletion of the TSC13 gene with homologues from various plants. Genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, Gossypium hirsutum and Malus domestica were able to sustain cell progression while not resulting in p- coumaroyl-CoA reduction to phloretic acid. These findings should be of great value for the industrial production of p-coumaric acid-derived molecules in S. cerevisiae. As naringenin is a precursor for other commercially relevant flavonoids we developed a platform for the production of a library of flavonoid derivatives and screened them for antibacterial properties. Seven different yeast strains producing flavonoids (naringenin, kaempferol, dihydrokaempferol, apigenin and afzelechin), a stilbenoid (resveratrol) and a dihydrochalcone (phloretin) were used as a base for the introduction of a library of decorating enzymes known to be active towards some of these compounds. Cariogenic bacteria were selected as a model for the screening of the combinatorial library for antibacterial potential. Although no compounds with significant antibacterial properties were identified, the method for the construction of flavonoid libraries that is presented here could serve as a base for future screenings. ii DANSK RESUME Flavonoider er sekundære plantemetabolitter derivatiseret fra enten phenylalanin eller tyrosin. Disse bioaktive stoffer har en stor kommerciel interesse grundet deres forskellige egenskaber som fx anti-oxidative, anti-tumor og/eller antibakterielle egenskaber. Industriel produktion af flavonoider, baseret på oprensning fra planter eller organisk synthese, kan dog være problematisk. På den anden side er den såkaldte bioindustrielle produktion af en vifte stoffer vha. mikroorganismer ved at bliver mere og mere populært. Målet med dette studie er at producere naringenin samt nogle af dens derivater i Saccharomyces cerevisiae som model for industriel produktion af flavonoider. Ved at kombinere et balanceret heterologt udtryk af de gener, der er involveret i de biosyntetiske reaktioner ved fremstilling af (phenylpropanoid) naringenin samt en optimering af gærmetabolismen har vi udviklet en stamme, der producerer 430 mg/L naringenin fra glukose. Under disse omstændigheder blev naringenin produceret fra phenylalanin ved hjælp af phenylalanin ammonia lyase (PAL) i en stamme, der overproducerer phenylalanin og tyrosin. Da tyrosin også kan være en forløber for naringenin-produktion via tyrosin ammonia lyase (TAL), har vi undersøgt in vivo aktiviteten af flere TAL enzymer i S. cerevisiae. De fleste ammonia lyaser har affinitet for både phenylalanin og tyrosin, med præference for phenylalanin. Nogle enzymer er tidligere beskrevet som værende TAL enzymer, men de har enten en meget lav aktivitet på tyrosin, eller også er de i stand til at bruge phenylalanin som substrat. Vi har her identificeret et nyt TAL, et enzym fra Aeromonas salmonicida med relativ høj aktivitet mod tyrosin og ingen aktivitet mod phenylalanin. Produktion af flavonoider og stilbenoider i S. cerevisiae er udfordrende, delvist pga. kulstoftab til phloretic syre som resultat af aktiviteten af en ukendt endogen reduktase. Gennem undersøgelser af 26 formodede c-c dobbeltbindingsreduktase knockout stammer, har vi identificeret Tsc13 som det enzym, der er ansvarlig for reduktionen af p-coumaroyl-CoA til phloretic syre. Da Tsc13 er et essentielt enzym blev en kombination af homologi-modellering og site-mættet mutagenese brugt til at identificere aminosyrerester som kan hæmme aktiviteten på p-coumaroyl-CoA uden at kompromittere cellevæksten. Vi har fundet og diskuteret flere mutationer som resulterede i lavere phloretic syre produktion. Som et alternativ har vi komplementeret deletionen af TSC13 genet med homologer fra forskellige planter. Gener fra Arabidopsis thaliana, Gossypium hirsutum og Malus domestica var i stand til at opretholde cellevæksten uden at resultere i p-coumaroyl-CoA reduktion til phloretic syre. Disse resultater kan være af stor værdi for industriel produktion af p-coumaric-syre-fremstillede molekyler i S. cerevisiae. Eftersom naringenin er en forløber for andre kommercielt

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date i ABSTRACT The biosynthesis of hispidin, 6-(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)- 4-hydroxy-2-pyrone, was examined in cultures of Polyporus hispidus Fr. Cultural studies were undertaken to determine the most suitable medium for investigating the biosynthesis of this pigment. These studies showed that light was nec• essary for hispidin formation and that the development of basidiocarps with viable spores could be achieved on agar media. On the liquid medium employed for biochemical studies, the maximum rate of hispidin production was observed to lag the maximum rate of growth by about five days. Trimethylhispidin, 4-methylhispidin and yangonin were synthesized for comparative purposes and for dilution in tracer experiments.

  • Effects of Enzymatic and Thermal Processing on Flavones, the Effects of Flavones on Inflammatory Mediators in Vitro, and the Absorption of Flavones in Vivo
    Effects of enzymatic and thermal processing on flavones, the effects of flavones on inflammatory mediators in vitro, and the absorption of flavones in vivo DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Louis Hostetler Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Steven Schwartz, Advisor Andrea Doseff Erich Grotewold Sheryl Barringer Copyrighted by Gregory Louis Hostetler 2011 Abstract Flavones are abundant in parsley and celery and possess unique anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in animal models. However, their bioavailability and bioactivity depend in part on the conjugation of sugars and other functional groups to the flavone core. Two studies were conducted to determine the effects of processing on stability and profiles of flavones in celery and parsley, and a third explored the effects of deglycosylation on the anti-inflammatory activity of flavones in vitro and their absorption in vivo. In the first processing study, celery leaves were combined with β-glucosidase-rich food ingredients (almond, flax seed, or chickpea flour) to determine test for enzymatic hydrolysis of flavone apiosylglucosides. Although all of the enzyme-rich ingredients could convert apigenin glucoside to aglycone, none had an effect on apigenin apiosylglucoside. Thermal stability of flavones from celery was also tested by isolating them and heating at 100 °C for up to 5 hours in pH 3, 5, or 7 buffer. Apigenin glucoside was most stable of the flavones tested, with minimal degradation regardless of pH or heating time.

  • Biochemical Investigations in the Rare Disease Alkaptonuria: Studies on the Metabolome and the Nature of Ochronotic Pigment
    Biochemical Investigations in the Rare Disease Alkaptonuria: Studies on the Metabolome and the Nature of Ochronotic Pigment Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Brendan Paul Norman September 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is hard to describe the journey this PhD has taken me on without reverting to well-worn clichés. There has been plenty of challenges along the way, but ultimately I can look back on the past four years with a great sense of pride, both in the work presented here and the skills I have developed. Equally important though are the relationships I have established. I have lots of people to thank for playing a part in this thesis. First, I would like to thank my supervisors, Jim Gallagher, Lakshminarayan Ranganath and Norman Roberts for giving me this fantastic opportunity. Your dedication to research into alkaptonuria (AKU) is inspiring and our discussions together have always been thoughtful and often offered fresh perspective on my work. It has been a pleasure to work under your supervision and your ongoing support and encouragement continues to drive me on. It has truly been a pleasure to be part of the AKU research group. Andrew Davison deserves a special mention - much of the highs and lows of our PhD projects have been experienced together. Learning LC-QTOF-MS was exciting (and continues to be) but equally daunting at the start of our projects (admittedly more so for me as a Psychology graduate turned mass spectrometrist!). I am very proud of what we have achieved together, largely starting from scratch on the instrument, and we are continuing to learn all the time.

(HD) and Hedyotis corymbosa (L.) Lam. (HC), two closely related species of the same genus, are both used for health benefits and disease prevention in China. HC is also indiscriminately sold as HD in the wholesale chain and food markets. This confusion has led to a growing concern about their identification and quality evaluation. In order to further understand the molecular diversification between them, we focus on the screening of chemical components and the analysis of non-targeted metabolites. In this study, UPLC-QTOF-MSE, UNIFI platform and multivariate statistical analyses were used to profile them. Firstly, a total of 113 compounds, including 80 shared chemical constituents of the two plants, were identified from HC and HD by using the UNIFI platform.

Email: [email protected] ​ Kava (Piper methysticum) is an ethnomedicinal shrub native to the Polynesian islands with ​ ​ well-established anxiolytic and analgesic properties. Its main psychoactive principles, kavalactones, form a unique class of polyketides that interact with the human central nervous system through mechanisms distinct from those of conventional psychiatric drugs. However, an unknown biosynthetic machinery and difficulty in chemical synthesis hinder the therapeutic use of kavalactones. In addition, kava contains several chalconoids with reported anti-cancer properties, known as flavokavains. Here, we report de novo ​ elucidation of key components of the kavalactone and flavokavain biosynthetic network, encompassing eight specialized metabolic enzymes. We present the structural basis for the evolutionary development of a pair of paralogous styropyrone synthases that establish the kavalactone scaffold as well as the catalytic mechanism of a regio- and stereo-specific kavalactone reductase that produces a subset of chiral kavalactones.
