Results and discussion Vitamin B1, thiamin, plays an important role in the metabolic pathway in the human body. The biological active form is Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP). The water soluble vitamin acts as a coenzyme for the enzymatic degradation of glucose in the citric acid cycle. A non-varied diet or 3-1. Method results malnutrition can quickly lead to a deficiency which can result in inter alia depression, muscle Both compounds showed excellent linearity (r2> 0.999) in a clinically relevant concentration range weakness and tachycardia. (TPP: 11.8 – 1176 nmol/L; PLP 20.2 – 2023 nmol/L). The LOD and LOQ were 2.7 nmol/L and 8.2 Vitamin B6 has multiple forms. The biological active form in the human cell is Pyridoxal-5’- phosphate (PLP). The water soluble vitamin acts as a coenzyme in the formation of aminoacids, nmol/L for TPP, respectively and 0.6 nmol/L and 1.8 nmol/L for PLP. amines and peptides. In case of a deficiency the other B vitamins will also be deficient. A PLP Compound Concentration SD %RSD deficiency can occur due to chemotherapy, alcoholism, pregnancy and kidney failure.

Roles of Vitamin Metabolizing Genes in Multidrug-Resistant Plasmids of Superbugs Asit Kumar Chakraborty, Genetic Engineering Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology & Biochemistry, Oriental Institute of Science & Technology, Vidyasagar University, Midnapore 721102, West Bengal, India. Abstract Superbug crisis has rocked this world with million deaths due to failure of potent antibiotics. Thousands mdr genes with hundreds of mutant isomers are generated. Small integrons and R-plasmids have combined with F'-plasmids creating a space for >10-20 of mdr genes that inactivate antibiotics in different mechanisms. Mdr genes are created to save bacteria from antibiotics because gut microbiota synthesize >20 vitamins and complex bio-molecules needed for >30000 biochemical reactions of human metabolosome. In other words, mdr gene creation is protected from both sides, intestinal luminal cells and gut bacteria in a tight symbiotic signalling system. We have proposed, to avert the crisis all vitamin metabolizing genes will be acquired in MDR- plasmids if we continue oral antibiotics therapy. Therefore, we have checked the plasmid databases and have detected thiamine, riboflavin, folate, cobalamine and biotin metabolizing enzymes in MDR plasmids. Thus vit genes may mobilise recently into MDR-plasmids and are likely essential for gut microbiota protection. Analysis found that cob and thi genes are abundant and likely very essential than other vit genes.

The thiolation of biomolecules is a complex process that involves the activation of sulfur. The L-cysteine desulfurase IscS is the main sulfur mobilizing protein in Escherichia coli that provides the sulfur from L-cysteine to several important biomolecules in the cell such as iron sulfur (FeS) clusters, molybdopterin (MPT), thiamine, and thionucleosides of tRNA. Various proteins mediate the transfer of sulfur from IscS to various biomolecules using different interaction partners. A direct connection between the sulfur- containing molecules FeS clusters, thiolated tRNA, and the molybdenum cofactor (Moco) has been identified. The first step of Moco biosynthesis involves the conversion of 5 GTP to cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), a reaction catalyzed by a FeS cluster containing protein. Formed cPMP is further converted to MPT by insertion of two sulfur atoms. The sulfur for this reaction is provided by the L-cysteine desulfurase IscS in addition to the involvement of the TusA protein.

  • 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Citric Acid Cycle Reactions
    Overview of the citric acid cycle, AKA the krebs cycle AKA tricarboxylic acid AKA TCA cycle Suggested problems from the end of chapter 19: 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Glycogen is broken down into glucose. The reactions of glycolysis result in pyruvate, which is then fed into the citric acid cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The products of the citric acid cycles are 2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP or GTP. After pyruvate is generated, it is transported into the mitochondrion, an organelle that contains the citric acid cycle enzymes and the oxidative phosphorylation enzymes. In E. coli, where there are neither mitochondria nor other organelles, these enzymes also seem to be concentrated in certain regions in the cell. Citric acid cycle reactions Overall, there are 8 reactions that result in oxidation of the metabolic fuel. This results in reduction of NAD+ and FAD. NADH and FADH2 will transfer their electrons to oxygen during oxidative phosphorylation. •In 1936 Carl Martius and Franz Knoop showed that citrate can be formed non-enzymaticly from Oxaloacetate and pyruvate. •In 1937 Hans Krebs used this information for biochemical experiments that resulted in his suggestion that citrate is processed in an ongoing circle, into which pyruvate is “fed.” •In 1951 it was shown that it was acetyl Coenzyme-A that condenses with oxaloacetate to form citrate. 1 The pre-citric acid reaction- pyruvate dehydrogenase Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a multi-subunit complex, containing three enzymes that associate non-covalently and catalyze 5 reaction. The enzymes are: (E1) pyruvate dehydrogenase (E2) dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E3) dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase What are the advantages for arranging enzymes in complexes? E.

Due to its role in metabolism, EcPDH E1 was previously characterised with respect to its biochemical properties, but it was never applied for synthetic purposes. Here, we show that EcPDH E1 is a promising biocatalyst for the production of chiral α-hydroxyketones. WT EcPDH E1 shows a 180–250-fold higher catalytic efficiency towards 2-oxobutyrate or pyruvate, respectively, in comparison to engineered transketolase variants from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (TKGST). Its broad active site cleft allows for the efficient conversion of both (R)- and (S)-configured α-hydroxyaldehydes, next to linear and branched aliphatic aldehydes as acceptor substrates under kinetically controlled conditions. The alternate, thermodynamically controlled self-reaction of aliphatic aldehydes was shown to be limited to low levels of conversion, which we propose to be due to their large hydration constants. Additionally, the thermodynamically controlled approach was demonstrated to suffer from a loss of stereoselectivity, which makes it unfeasible for aliphatic substrates. Keywords: Thiamine diphosphate; transketolase; C-C bond formation; kinetic control; acyloins 1.

  • Linking Vitamin B1 with Cancer Cell Metabolism Jason a Zastre*, Rebecca L Sweet, Bradley S Hanberry and Star Ye
    Zastre et al. Cancer & Metabolism 2013, 1:16 http://www.cancerandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/16 Cancer & Metabolism REVIEW Open Access Linking vitamin B1 with cancer cell metabolism Jason A Zastre*, Rebecca L Sweet, Bradley S Hanberry and Star Ye Abstract The resurgence of interest in cancer metabolism has linked alterations in the regulation and exploitation of metabolic pathways with an anabolic phenotype that increases biomass production for the replication of new daughter cells. To support the increase in the metabolic rate of cancer cells, a coordinated increase in the supply of nutrients, such as glucose and micronutrients functioning as enzyme cofactors is required. The majority of co- enzymes are water-soluble vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, riboflavin and thiamine (Vitamin B1). Continuous dietary intake of these micronutrients is essential for maintaining normal health. How cancer cells adaptively regulate cellular homeostasis of cofactors and how they can regulate expression and function of metabolic enzymes in cancer is underappreciated. Exploitation of cofactor-dependent metabolic pathways with the advent of anti-folates highlights the potential vulnerabilities and importance of vitamins in cancer biology. Vitamin supplementation products are easily accessible and patients often perceive them as safe and beneficial without full knowledge of their effects. Thus, understanding the significance of enzyme cofactors in cancer cell metabolism will provide for important dietary strategies and new molecular targets to reduce disease progression. Recent studies have demonstrated the significance of thiamine-dependent enzymes in cancer cell metabolism. Therefore, this review discusses the current knowledge in the alterations in thiamine availability, homeostasis, and exploitation of thiamine-dependent pathways by cancer cells.

This depletes the Pi and ATP in the liver. 4. Fructose 1-phosphate stimulates glucokinase in liver and pancreatic β cells by removing the inhibitory protein. This causes increased uptake of glucose by these tissues and also increased insulin secretion by β cells. The result is hypoglycemia. 5. The disease is also associated with liver disease (jaundice) and renal tubular damage (Fanconi syndrome). 6. Decreased Pi levels leads to increased breakdown of adenine nucleotides (AMP, ADP), causing hyperuricemia (gout). 7.
