The material contained in the thesis has not been presented, nor is currently being presented, either wholly or as a part, for any other degree or other qualification. The research work was carried out in the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, University of Liverpool, United Kingdom. ……………………………………….. Taghreed Abdulaziz Hafiz (2013) Dedication First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this work to my lovely parents, my husband and to my son Adel and my daughter Danah I Acknowledgements I am profoundly indebted to the grace of Allah for giving me the ability, insights, ideas and strength to make this thesis possible. Thank you Allah for your blessing on my family and me. I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Dr Giancarlo Biagini for his support, encouragement, stimulating suggestions and constructive criticism throughout the time of research and writing of this thesis. I also wish to thank my co-supervisor Professor Steve Ward for his helpful suggestions and comments on my work. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Dr Ashley Warman for all of the guidance and support in helping me with various aspects of my work; your advice was immeasurable and I am extremely thankful. Additionally, special thanks go to Dr Nicholas Fisher for all of his advice and help on my work. The Steve Ward group, especially Mrs Alison Ardrey, Dr Gavin Laing, Dr Darren Moss, Dr Gemma Nixon, Dr Alison Shone, Angela Travis and Mary Creegan, are all acknowledged for their support, help and ability to make the working environment very comfortable and conducive to research. I am equally grateful to my colleagues, Dr Roslaini Abd Majid, Dr Teresa Ratio and Dr Thomas Antoine for their support and help. You have all been wonderful and it was great getting to know you and working with you. My deepest gratitude to my lovely mother Rajaa Obaid and to my father Abdulaziz Hafiz; you are simply the best parents in the whole world. Without your prayers to Allah, resolute encouragement, patience and help with taking care of my kids and myself, this thesis would not have been possible. A special big thank you goes to my lovely sisters, Kholoud, Nehad, Hanan, Tahani and Deema, and to my beloved brother Mohammed for all of your prayers and support. Thank you for making my adored daughter Danah laugh and helping her to enjoy her time with you and for committing to sending me pictures of her every day. I love you all very much. My sincerest love and apology go to my son Adel (2 years and 5 months) and to my baby daughter Danah (1 year) for being busy and away from you. I am sorry. Thank you for your patience with me. I adore you. Thank you Danah for being my pretty princess; every night away from you was a big challenge and burden to bear. Finally, I wish to express my heart-felt thankfulness to my dear husband Murad Mubaraki for his love, support and help throughout my lab work and during my pregnancies of Adel and Danah. Thank you for teaching me the techniques used in my metabolomics work. Thank you for lifting the burden off my shoulders throughout my PhD and thank you for being so supportive during the hardest nights, when I had to leave Danah back in Saudi Arabia. I love you.

  • Bacterial Oxidases of the Cytochrome Bd Family: Redox Enzymes of Unique Structure, Function, and Utility As Drug Targets
    Published in "Antioxidants & Redox Signaling doi: 10.1089/ars.2020.8039, 2020" which should be cited to refer to this work. Bacterial Oxidases of the Cytochrome bd Family: Redox Enzymes of Unique Structure, Function, and Utility As Drug Targets Vitaliy B. Borisov,1 Sergey A. Siletsky,1 Alessandro Paiardini,2 David Hoogewijs,3 Elena Forte,2 Alessandro Giuffre`,4 and Robert K. Poole5 Abstract Significance: Cytochrome bd is a ubiquinol:oxygen oxidoreductase of many prokaryotic respiratory chains with a unique structure and functional characteristics. Its primary role is to couple the reduction of molecular oxygen, even at submicromolar concentrations, to water with the generation of a proton motive force used for adenosine triphosphate production. Cytochrome bd is found in many bacterial pathogens and, surprisingly, in bacteria for- mally denoted as anaerobes. It endows bacteria with resistance to various stressors and is a potential drug target. Recent Advances: We summarize recent advances in the biochemistry, structure, and physiological functions of cytochrome bd in the light of exciting new three-dimensional structures of the oxidase. The newly discovered roles of cytochrome bd in contributing to bacterial protection against hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, perox- ynitrite, and hydrogen sulfide are assessed. Critical Issues: Fundamental questions remain regarding the precise delineation of electron flow within this multihaem oxidase and how the extraordinarily high affinity for oxygen is accomplished, while endowing bacteria with resistance to other small ligands. Future Directions: It is clear that cytochrome bd is unique in its ability to confer resistance to toxic small molecules, a property that is significant for understanding the propensity of pathogens to possess this oxidase.

We have resorted to deep sequencing of the transcripts in glycerol-grown 6 P. putida KT2440 cells to gain an insight into the biochemical and regulatory components involved in 7 the shift between customary C sources (e.g., glucose or succinate) to the polyol. Transcriptomic results 8 were contrasted with key enzymatic activities under the same culture conditions. Cognate expression 9 profiles revealed that genes encoding enzymes of the Entner-Doudoroff route and other catabolic 10 pathways, e.g., the gluconate and 2-ketogluconate loops, were significantly down-regulated on glycerol.

Since these signaling molecules have been shown to be involved in the regulation of phenotypes such as motility and virulence that are crucial for EHEC infections, we hypothesized that these molecules also govern the initial recognition of the large intestine environment and attachment to the host cell surface. Here, we report that, compared to indole, epinephrine and norepinephrine exert divergent effects on EHEC chemotaxis, motility, biofilm formation, gene expression, and colonization of HeLa cells. Using a novel two-fluorophore chemotaxis assay, it was found that EHEC is attracted to epineph- rine and norepinephrine while it is repelled by indole. In addition, epinephrine and norepinephrine also increased EHEC motility and biofilm formation while indole attenuated these phenotypes.

  • Distribution of Cytochromes in Bacteria: Relationship to General Physiology DAVID J
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL of SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY Vol. 23, No. 4 October 1973, p. 459-467 Prin ted in U.S.A. Copyright 0 1973 International Association of Microbiological Societies Distribution of Cytochromes in Bacteria: Relationship to General Physiology DAVID J. MEYER' and COLIN W. JONES Department of Biochemistry, The University of Leicester, England A review of cytochrome occurrence in bacteria is presented which gives the taxonomic distribution of cytochromes and which relates this to general physiological characteristics. Data obtained from published research and recent experimental studies on a total of 169 species of bacteria suggested the existence of four major groupings: (i) the aerobic and facultatively anaerobic, heterotrophic gram positives (cytochrome pattern aa3.0. b.c); (ii) the aerobic and facultatively anaerobic, heterotrophic gram negatives (cytochrome pattern either al.d.o.b.c, a1.o.b.c or aa3.o.b.c); (iii) anaerobic and microaerophilic hetero- trophs (cytochrome pattern b sometimes with al /d/o), and (iv) the ch'emo- and photo-autotrophs (cytochrome pattern c plus czl /aa3/o/b). The absence or minor presence of cytochrome c in facultatively anaerobic and anaerobic heterotrophs was confirmed and was also observed in plant and animal pathogens. Cytochrome d was confined in occurrence mainly to a small taxonomic group of organisms characterized by a high degree of adaptability to unstable habitats. This group was considered for further subdivision dependent upon the conditions causing the production of cytochrome d. As part of an investigation into the occur- ilated on organisms in the three major bacterial orders: rence of more than one spectral type of (i) the taxonomic status of the species according to cytochrome oxidase in many bacteria, a survey Bergey 's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (13) of published data was carried out.
