  • A New Insight Into Role of Phosphoketolase Pathway in Synechocystis Sp
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A new insight into role of phosphoketolase pathway in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Anushree Bachhar & Jiri Jablonsky* Phosphoketolase (PKET) pathway is predominant in cyanobacteria (around 98%) but current opinion is that it is virtually inactive under autotrophic ambient CO2 condition (AC-auto). This creates an evolutionary paradox due to the existence of PKET pathway in obligatory photoautotrophs. We aim to answer the paradox with the aid of bioinformatic analysis along with metabolic, transcriptomic, fuxomic and mutant data integrated into a multi-level kinetic model. We discussed the problems linked to neglected isozyme, pket2 (sll0529) and inconsistencies towards the explanation of residual fux via PKET pathway in the case of silenced pket1 (slr0453) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Our in silico analysis showed: (1) 17% fux reduction via RuBisCO for Δpket1 under AC-auto, (2) 11.2–14.3% growth decrease for Δpket2 in turbulent AC-auto, and (3) fux via PKET pathway reaching up to 252% of the fux via phosphoglycerate mutase under AC-auto. All results imply that PKET pathway plays a crucial role under AC-auto by mitigating the decarboxylation occurring in OPP pathway and conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA linked to EMP glycolysis under the carbon scarce environment. Finally, our model predicted that PKETs have low afnity to S7P as a substrate. Metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria provides many options for producing valuable compounds, e.g., acetone from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 79421 and butanol from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 68032. However, certain metabolites or overproduction of intermediates can be lethal. Tere is also a possibility that required mutation(s) might be unstable or the target bacterium may even be able to maintain the fux distribution for optimal growth balance due to redundancies in the metabolic network, such as alternative pathways.

We use the model to study the 9 response of yeast to a glucose pulse. We then combine the model with an existing glycolysis 10 model to study the effect of oxidative stress on carbohydrate metabolism.

  • The Pentose Phosphate Pathway and Its Involvement in Cisplatin Resistance

The main problem related to its clinical use is the onset of drug resistance. In the last decades, among the studied molecular mechanisms of cisplatin resistance, metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a possible one. This review focuses on the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) playing a pivotal role in maintaining the high cell proliferation rate and representing an advantage for cancer cells. In particular, the oxidative branch of PPP plays a role in oxidative stress and seems to be involved in cisplatin resistance. In light of these considerations, it has been demonstrated that overexpression and higher enzymatic activity of different enzymes of both oxidative and non-oxidative branches (such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and transketolase) increase cisplatin resistance, and their silencing or combined treatment with cisplatin could restore cisplatin sensitivity.

  • RESPIRATION Pentose Phosphate Pathway Or Hexose Monophosphate Pathway
    RESPIRATION Pentose Phosphate Pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Pathway Pentose phosphate pathway or hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP pathway) is the other common pathway to break down glucose to pyruvate and operates in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This pathway produces NADPH, which carries chemical energy in the form of reducing power and is used almost universally as the reductant in anabolic (energy utilization) pathways (e.g., fatty acid biosynthesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, nucleotide biosynthesis) and detoxification pathways (e.g., reduction of oxidized glutathione, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases). Also, the pentose phosphate pathway generates pentose sugar ribose and its derivatives, which are necessary for the biosynthesis of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as well as ATP, NADH, FAD, and coenzyme A. In this way, though the pentose phosphate pathway may be a source of energy in many microorganisms, it is more often of greater importance in various biosynthetic pathways. Pentose phosphate pathway consists of two phases: the oxidative phase and the non-oxidative phase. Oxidative Phase: The oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway initiates with the conversion of glucose 6- phosphate to 6-Phosphogluconate. NADP+ is the electron acceptor yielding NADPH during this reaction. 6-Phosphogluconate, a six-carbon sugar, is then oxidativelydecarboxylated to yield ribulose 5-phosphate, a five-carbon sugar. NADP+ is again the electron acceptor yielding NADPH. In the final step of oxidative phase, there is isomerisation of ribulose 5-phosphatc to ribose 5- phosphate by phosphopentose isomerase and the conversion of ribulose 5-phosphate into its epimerxylulose 5-phosphate by phosphopentose epimerase for the transketolase reaction in non- oxidative phase.

  • Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Novel, Structurally Diverse Compounds
    Chemoenzymatic synthesis of novel, structurally diverse compounds A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of London Lydia G Coward Department of Biochemical Engineering University College London 1 I, Lydia Grace Coward confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 For my fantastic family. 3 Abstract The use of Diels Alder cycloaddition chemistries to access a diverse range of useful cyclic structures is well established throughout literature. However, the value of the product may be enhanced further still by linking this reaction with subsequent (biocatalytic) steps to create novel, structurally demanding, optically pure compounds. This project investigates the linking of Diels Alder (DA) chemistry to the enzyme, transketolase (TK) as a model integration pathway of a chemical syntheses and a biological transformation. The two-step process aims to provide a framework to synthesise small structurally diverse compounds with high enantiomeric excess. The demand for optically pure compounds is becoming a necessity due to the adverse affects frequently introduced by racemic compounds and the cost implications of the material possessing often only 50% active compound. Recombinant wild type Eschericha coli transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) (WT-TK) was overexpressed in E. coli for the biocatalytic step of this two step synthesis. A substrate walking approach whereby a range of sequentially linked cyclic aldehydes, were applied to wild type transketolase and potential activity detected. Transketolase mutants, previously constructed based on information derived from the structural position within the active site of the dimeric enzyme were subsequently screened for activity with the cycloadduct of the Diels Alder reaction as aldehyde acceptor substrate for TK.

  • Pentose Phosphate Pathway
    CH 4. HMP Pentose Phosphate Pathway Pentose Phosphate Pathway Other names: Phosphogluconate Pathway Hexose Monophosphate Shunt The linear part of the pathway carries out oxidation and decarboxylation of the 6-C sugar glucose-6-P, producing the 5-C sugar ribulose-5-P. 1 2 CH 4. HMP Glucose metabolism via the oxidative pentose phosphate pathways and relationship with glycolysis. Principal cellular functions of the pathways are indicated, and roles of NADPH included. G6PDH, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase; PGDH, 6- 3 phosphogluconate dehydrogenase; RPE, ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase; RPI, ribose 5-phosphate isomerase; TKL, transketolase. CH 4. HMP Hexose Monophosphate Pathway CH 4. HMP 4 Hexose Monophosphate Pathway It consists of two irreversible oxidative reactions, followed by a series of reversible sugar-phosphate interconversions No ATP is directly consumed or produced in the cycle. Carbon 1 of glucose 6-phosphate is released as CO2, and two NADPH are produced for each glucose 6-phosphate entering the oxidative part of the pathway. 5 CH 4. HMP The rate and direction of the reactions at any given time are determined by the supply of and demand for intermediates in the cycle. The HMP occurs in the cytosol of the cell. The pathway provides a major portion of the cell's NADPH, which functions as a biochemical reductant. The HMP also produces ribose-phosphate, required for biosynthesis of nucleotides, 6 CH 4. HMP for each molecule of glucose 6-phosphate oxidized. 1. Dehydrogenation of glucose 6-phosphate 2. Hydrolysis of 6- phosphogluconolactone and formation of ribulose 5- phosphate. The oxidative portion of the HMP leads to the formation of -two molecules of NADPH -CO2, and -ribulose 5-phosphate, 7 CH 4.
