Amino Acid Detoxification Dr. Satyendra K Sinha Asst. Prof. Zoology Ram Jaipal College, Jpu, Chapra Zoology M.Sc. Semester 2 Paper V AMINO ACID DETOXIFICATION Amino acid detoxification or protein Detoxification is the process by which proteins containing methylated arginine are broken down and removed from the body. Arginine (Arg) is a non-essential amino acid and one of the most commonly occurring natural amino acids. The Australian physician Trevor Tingate coined the term protein detoxification in 2010. Arginine (Arg) A Non/Semi-essential amino acid Methylated arginine is a modified version of arginine (Post Translational Modification). Methylation of protein arginine plays an important role in the regulation of many cell processes including gene transcription, cell signal transduction, DNA repair and RNA processing. Protein turnover releases the free methylated arginine derivatives- 1. Asymmetric Dimethyl arginine (ADMA) 2. Methyl arginine (L-NMMA) 3. Symmetrical dimethyl arginine (SDMA) Asymmetrically methylated forms of arginine are toxic released during protein turnover. The protein detoxification pathway Eliminates free methylated-arginine derivatives from the cell. Symmetrically methylated forms are not toxic and are excreted unchanged by the kidney. Asymmetrically methylated forms however are toxic and broken down by the enzyme dimethyl arginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH). Impairment of DDAH function slows breakdown and increases the level of toxic asymmetrically methylated arginine forms. Long term exposure to these toxic amino acids is associated with endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, insulin resistance, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, dementia and ageing Protein detoxification pathway aim to: • Reduce intracellular levels of free asymmetrically methylated arginine derivatives, • Slow the ageing process • Delay the development of disorders associated with ageing. PRMTs (Protein Arginine Methyl transferase) Protein arginine methyltransferase's (PRMTs) are activated by shear stress &LDL cholesterol. Two types of PMRTs have been characterized. Type 1 PRMTs Are found mainly in endothelial and smooth muscle cells and produce methylated proteins containing ADMA and L-NMMA. Type 2 PRMTs Produce proteins that contain SDMA and L-NMMA DDAH (Dimethyl Arginine Dimethylaminohydrolase) DDAH activity is inhibited by NO Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and L-arginine. Two isoforms of DDAH have been identified. 1.DDAH-1 is found in tissues expressing neuronal NOS (nNOS) and in the liver, kidney and lung. Expression is increased by IL-1β and Inhibited by oxLDL and TNF. Plasma levels of ADMA reflect DDAH-1 activity. DDAH-2 is found in tissues expressing endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS). Expression is increased by NADPHox, all trans retinoic acid, pioglitazone and estradiol Inhibited by hypoxia, hyper glycaemia and LPS. Schematic outlining the synthesis and metabolism of ADMA and SDMA. Protein arginine methylation is performed by a family of enzymes termed protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), which methylate protein-incorporated L-arginine residues to generate protein- incorporated NG monomethyl-L-arginine. Type I PRMTs generate asymmetric dimethyl arginine ADMA and Type II PRMTs convert NMMA to symmetric dimethyl arginine SDMA. Protein-incorporated L-arginine residues can also be converted to citrulline by peptidylarginine deaminases (PADs), thereby blocking methylation on the arginine residue. Upon proteolytic cleavage of arginine-methylated proteins, free ADMA and SDMA are released into the cytoplasm. ADMA and SDMA can be moved out of the cells via cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) and transported to other organs or excreted in urine. ADMA can be converted to L-citrulline and dimethylamine by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-1 (DDAH-1) and -2 (DDAH-2). Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2), a mitochondrial aminotransferase expressed primarily in the kidney, can metabolize ADMA as well as SDMA. ADMA can be transaminated by the enzyme AGXT2 to α-keto-δ-(NG,NG-dimethylguanidino) valeric acid (DMGV) Role of Amino Acid detoxification in Diseases- Asymmetrically methylated arginine forms (AMAF) inhibit nitric oxide synthase and the formation of nitric oxide (NO), also known as 'endothelium-derived relaxing factor', or 'EDRF'. Nitric oxide is critical to blood vessel function and inhibition leads to an increase in arterial stiffness due to vasoconstriction. Indeed, by protecting the vessel against vasoconstriction nitric oxide has been referred to as the fountain of youth. It also protects blood vessels by inhibiting platelet activation, smooth muscle proliferation and endothelial cell activation. Reduced arterial stiffness protects the heart. Asymmetrically methylated arginine forms by contrast inhibit NOS, reduce nitric oxide and increase central arterial pressure. Long-standing arterial stiffness inevitably leads to heart failure, kidney failure and dementia; the three leading causes of death in later years. Protein detoxification removes free methylarginines that would otherwise inhibit the generation of nitric oxide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .

They experience very high seasonal productivity due to long warm days and plentiful rainfall remain, but are largely uncultivated due to late spring or early autumn frosts. Wild grasses survive these frost events and this has prompted intensive investigation into how to improve the cold tolerance of domesticated small grained cereals.

PACE 2015 Peptide-Based Probes to Monitor Cysteine-Mediated Protein Activities by Nicholas J. Pace Thesis Advisor: Eranthie Weerapana Abstract Cysteine residues are known to perform an array of functional roles in proteins, including nucleophilic and redox catalysis, regulation, metal binding, and structural stabilization, on proteins across diverse functional classes. These functional cysteine residues often display hyperreactivity, and electrophilic chemical probes can be utilized to modify reactive cysteines and modulate their protein functions. A particular focus was placed on three peptide-based cysteine-reactive chemical probes (NJP2, NJP14. and NJP15) and their particular biological applications. NJP2 was discovered to be an apoptotic cell-selective inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase omega 1 and shows additional utility as an imaging agent of apoptosis. NJP14 aided in the development of a chemical-proteomic platform to detect Zn2+-cysteine complexes. This platform identified both known and unknown Zn2+-cysteine complexes across diverse protein classes and should serve as a valuable complement to existing methods to characterize functional Zn2+-cysteine complexes.

Abstract Previous transcriptomic experiments have revealed that various Escherichia coli K-12 genes encoding proteins of unknown function are highly expressed during anaerobic growth in the presence of nitrate, or especially nitrite. Products of some of these genes, especially YeaR-YoaG, YgbA, YibIH and the hybrid cluster protein, Hcp, have been implicated in the response to nitrosative stress. The aims of this study were to investigate sources of nitrosative stress, and the possible roles of some of these proteins in protection against nitric oxide. The YtfE protein has been implicated in the repair of iron centres, especially in iron- sulphur proteins. The previously unexplained anaerobic growth defect of the ytfE strain LMS 4209 was shown to be due to a secondary 126-gene deletion rather than to the deletion of ytfE.

  • Exploring in Silico Protein Toxicity Prediction Methods to Support the Food and Feed Risk Assessment
    EXTERNAL SCIENTIFIC REPORT APPROVED: 28 May 2020 doi:10.2903/sp.efsa.2020.EN-1875 Literature search – Exploring in silico protein toxicity prediction methods to support the food and feed risk assessment L. Palazzolo1, E. Gianazza1, I. Eberini1 1Dipartimento di Scienze Farmacologiche e Biomolecolari, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Balzaretti 9, 20133 Milano (IT) Abstract This report is the outcome of an EFSA procurement (NP/EFSA/GMO/2018/01) reviewing relevant scientific information on in silico prediction methods for protein toxicity, that could support the food and feed risk assessment. Several proteins are associated with adverse (toxic) effects in humans and animals, by a variety of mechanisms. These are produced by plants, animals and bacteria to prevail in hostile environments. In the present report, we present an integrated pipeline to perform a comprehensive literature and database search applied to proteins with toxic effects. “Toxin activity” and “toxin-antitoxin system” strings were used as inputs for this pipeline. UniProtKB was considered as the reference database, and only the UniProtKB curator-reviewed proteins were considered in the pipeline. Experimentally- determined structures and homology-based in silico 3D models were retrieved from protein structures repositories; family-, domain-, motif- and other molecular signature-related information was also obtained from specific databases which are part of the InterPro consortium. Protein aggregation associated with adverse effects was also investigated using different
