  • Phospholipid:Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase: an Enzyme That Catalyzes the Acyl-Coa-Independent Formation of Triacylglycerol in Yeast and Plants
    Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase: An enzyme that catalyzes the acyl-CoA-independent formation of triacylglycerol in yeast and plants Anders Dahlqvist*†‡, Ulf Ståhl†§, Marit Lenman*, Antoni Banas*, Michael Lee*, Line Sandager¶, Hans Ronne§, and Sten Stymne¶ *Scandinavian Biotechnology Research (ScanBi) AB, Herman Ehles Va¨g 2 S-26831 Svaloˆv, Sweden; ¶Department of Plant Breeding Research, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Herman Ehles va¨g 2–4, S-268 31 Svalo¨v, Sweden; and §Department of Plant Biology, Uppsala Genetic Center, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 7080, S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden Edited by Christopher R.

Furthermore, a similar enzyme is shown to be acyltransferase. We have found that some plants and yeast also present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the gene have an acyl-CoA-independent mechanism for TAG synthesis, encoding this enzyme, YNR008w, is identified. which uses phospholipids as acyl donors and DAG as acceptor. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme that we call phospholipid:dia- Materials and Methods cylglycerol acyltransferase, or PDAT. PDAT was characterized in Yeast Strains and Plasmids.

  • The World of Cyclic Dinucleotides in Bacterial Behavior
    molecules Review The World of Cyclic Dinucleotides in Bacterial Behavior Aline Dias da Purificação, Nathalia Marins de Azevedo, Gabriel Guarany de Araujo , Robson Francisco de Souza and Cristiane Rodrigues Guzzo * Department of Microbiology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo, São Paulo 01000-000, Brazil * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +55-11-3091-7298 Received: 27 December 2019; Accepted: 17 March 2020; Published: 25 May 2020 Abstract: The regulation of multiple bacterial phenotypes was found to depend on different cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) that constitute intracellular signaling second messenger systems. Most notably, c-di-GMP, along with proteins related to its synthesis, sensing, and degradation, was identified as playing a central role in the switching from biofilm to planktonic modes of growth. Recently, this research topic has been under expansion, with the discoveries of new CDNs, novel classes of CDN receptors, and the numerous functions regulated by these molecules. In this review, we comprehensively describe the three main bacterial enzymes involved in the synthesis of c-di-GMP, c-di-AMP, and cGAMP focusing on description of their three-dimensional structures and their structural similarities with other protein families, as well as the essential residues for catalysis. The diversity of CDN receptors is described in detail along with the residues important for the interaction with the ligand. Interestingly, genomic data strongly suggest that there is a tendency for bacterial cells to use both c-di-AMP and c-di-GMP signaling networks simultaneously, raising the question of whether there is crosstalk between different signaling systems. In summary, the large amount of sequence and structural data available allows a broad view of the complexity and the importance of these CDNs in the regulation of different bacterial behaviors.

  • Peroxisomal Fatty Acid Beta-Oxidation in Relation to the Accumulation Of
    Peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation in relation to the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Zellweger syndrome and other peroxisomal disorders. R J Wanders, … , A W Schram, J M Tager J Clin Invest. 1987;80(6):1778-1783. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113271. Research Article The peroxisomal oxidation of the long chain fatty acid palmitate (C16:0) and the very long chain fatty acids lignocerate (C24:0) and cerotate (C26:0) was studied in freshly prepared homogenates of cultured skin fibroblasts from control individuals and patients with peroxisomal disorders. The peroxisomal oxidation of the fatty acids is almost completely dependent on the addition of ATP, coenzyme A (CoA), Mg2+ and NAD+. However, the dependency of the oxidation of palmitate on the concentration of the cofactors differs markedly from that of the oxidation of lignocerate and cerotate. The peroxisomal oxidation of all three fatty acid substrates is markedly deficient in fibroblasts from patients with the Zellweger syndrome, the neonatal form of adrenoleukodystrophy and the infantile form of Refsum disease, in accordance with the deficiency of peroxisomes in these patients. In fibroblasts from patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy the peroxisomal oxidation of lignocerate and cerotate is impaired, but not that of palmitate. Competition experiments indicate that in fibroblasts, as in rat liver, distinct enzyme systems are responsible for the oxidation of palmitate on the one hand and lignocerate and cerotate on the other hand. Fractionation studies indicate that in rat liver activation of cerotate and lignocerate to cerotoyl-CoA and lignoceroyl-CoA, respectively, occurs in two subcellular fractions, the endoplasmic reticulum and the peroxisomes but not in the mitochondria.

  • Adaptive Responses by Transcriptional Regulators to Small Molecules in Prokaryotes
    Adaptive Responses by Transcriptional Regulators to small molecules in Prokaryotes Structural studies of two bacterial one-component signal transduction systems DntR and HpNikR Cyril Dian Stockholm University Doctoral thesis © Cyril Dian, Stockholm 2007 ISBN 978-91-7155-500-7 Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics The Arrhenius Laboratories for Natural Sciences Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden All previously published papers are reprinted With permission from the publishers Intellecta Docusys, Stockholm 2007 Abstract Prokaryotes are continually exposed to environmental changes in their physiological conditions. In order to survive such unstable conditions, or to compete with others species for the same environmental niche, prokaryotes must monitor signals about both their extracellular environment and intracellular physiological status and provide rapid and appropriate responses to variations in their surroundings. This adaptive response to environmental signals is triggered mainly by transcriptional regulators via two components, the one- and two-component signal transduction systems. These scan intra- and extracellular small-molecule mixtures and modulate gene expression to provide the appropriate physiological response to the prevailing conditions. Most prokaryotic one component regulators are simple transcription factors comprising of a small-molecule binding domain (SMBD) and a DNA binding domain (DBD). Although the effects of transcription factors on the transcription machinery are well understood, the exact location

  • Structure of Human Aspartyl Aminopeptidase Complexed With
    Chaikuad et al. BMC Structural Biology 2012, 12:14 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6807/12/14 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Structure of human aspartyl aminopeptidase complexed with substrate analogue: insight into catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity and M18 peptidase family Apirat Chaikuad1, Ewa S Pilka1, Antonio De Riso2, Frank von Delft1, Kathryn L Kavanagh1, Catherine Vénien-Bryan2, Udo Oppermann1,3 and Wyatt W Yue1* Abstract Backround: Aspartyl aminopeptidase (DNPEP), with specificity towards an acidic amino acid at the N-terminus, is the only mammalian member among the poorly understood M18 peptidases. DNPEP has implicated roles in protein and peptide metabolism, as well as the renin-angiotensin system in blood pressure regulation. Despite previous enzyme and substrate characterization, structural details of DNPEP regarding ligand recognition and catalytic mechanism remain to be delineated. Results: The crystal structure of human DNPEP complexed with zinc and a substrate analogue aspartate-β- hydroxamate reveals a dodecameric machinery built by domain-swapped dimers, in agreement with electron microscopy data. A structural comparison with bacterial homologues identifies unifying catalytic features among the poorly understood M18 enzymes. The bound ligands in the active site also reveal the coordination mode of the binuclear zinc centre and a substrate specificity pocket for acidic amino acids. Conclusions: The DNPEP structure provides a molecular framework to understand its catalysis that is mediated by active site loop swapping, a mechanism likely adopted in other M18 and M42 metallopeptidases that form dodecameric complexes as a self-compartmentalization strategy. Small differences in the substrate binding pocket such as shape and positive charges, the latter conferred by a basic lysine residue, further provide the key to distinguishing substrate preference.

  • Regulation of Stringent Factor by Branched-Chain Amino Acids
    Regulation of stringent factor by branched-chain amino acids Mingxu Fanga and Carl E. Bauera,1 aMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry Department, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 Edited by Caroline S. Harwood, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, and approved May 9, 2018 (received for review February 21, 2018) When faced with amino acid starvation, prokaryotic cells induce a Under normal growth conditions, the synthetase activity of Rel is stringent response that modulates their physiology. The stringent thought to be self-inhibited; however, during times of amino acid response is manifested by production of signaling molecules starvation, Rel interacts with stalled ribosomes, which activates guanosine 5′-diphosphate,3′-diphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine synthetase activity to produce (p)ppGpp. The regulation of hy- 5′-triphosphate,3′-diphosphate (pppGpp) that are also called drolase activity is less understood but may involve one or more alarmones. In many species, alarmone levels are regulated by a downstream domains called the TGS and ACT domains. The TGS multidomain bifunctional alarmone synthetase/hydrolase called domain of SpoT has been shown to interact with an acyl carrier Rel. In this enzyme, there is an ACT domain at the carboxyl region protein, so it is presumed to sense the status of fatty acid metab- that has an unknown function; however, similar ACT domains are olism in E. coli (4).

  • Two-Step Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Cyclic Di-AMP in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
    Two-Step Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Cyclic di-AMP in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Kasi Manikandan1, Varatharajan Sabareesh2¤, Nirpendra Singh3, Kashyap Saigal1, Undine Mechold4, Krishna Murari Sinha1* 1 Institute of Molecular Medicine, New Delhi, India, 2 Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi and IGIB Extension Centre (Naraina), New Delhi, India, 3 Central Instrument Facility, University of Delhi South Campus, New Delhi, India, 4 Institut Pasteur, CNRS UMR 3528, Unite´ de Biochimie des Interactions macromole´culaires, Paris, France Abstract Cyclic di-AMP is a recently discovered signaling molecule which regulates various aspects of bacterial physiology and virulence. Here we report the characterization of c-di-AMP synthesizing and hydrolyzing proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Recombinant Rv3586 (MtbDisA) can synthesize c-di-AMP from ATP through the diadenylate cyclase activity. Detailed biochemical characterization of the protein revealed that the diadenylate cyclase (DAC) activity is allosterically regulated by ATP. We have identified the intermediates of the DAC reaction and propose a two-step synthesis of c-di-AMP from ATP/ADP. MtbDisA also possesses ATPase activity which is suppressed in the presence of the DAC activity. Investigations by liquid chromatography -electrospray ionization mass spectrometry have detected multimeric forms of c- di-AMP which have implications for the regulation of c-di-AMP cellular concentration and various pathways regulated by the dinucleotide. We have identified Rv2837c (MtbPDE) to have c-di-AMP specific phosphodiesterase activity. It hydrolyzes c-di- AMP to 59-AMP in two steps. First, it linearizes c-di-AMP into pApA which is further hydrolyzed to 59-AMP.

  • Characterization of Nudix Hydrolases: a Utilitarian
    CHARACTERIZATION OF NUDIX HYDROLASES: A UTILITARIAN SUPERFAMILY OF ENZYMES By Andres Hernandez de la Peña A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August, 2015 Abstract The present work details the structural and enzymatic characterization of Nudix hydrolases from three different organisms – Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Tetrahymena thermophila. Each of these Nudix enzymes presents unique questions about their physiological function within their organism which are answered with a combination of structural biology, genetic manipulation, enzyme kinetics, and a wide range of protein assays. We demonstrate that RenU, from M. tuberculosis, is part of Redox Homeostasis Control System (RHOCS), which senses and regulates NADH concentrations. This control systems involves two other proteins, the serine/threonine protein kinase G (pknG) and the L13 ribosomal subunits, without which the bacterium fails to evade lysosomal delivery and falls prey to the oxidative arsenal of the macrophage host. Bd-NDPSase, a Nudix enzyme encoded by the B. bacteriovorus gene BD3179, localizes to the periplasmic space of the bacterium and hydrolyses at least four nucleoside diphosphate sugars in vitro. Through atomic-resolution models from X-ray diffraction, we identified a motif that differentiates this hydrolase from the similar, but more substrate specific, ADP- ribose hydrolase from E. coli. Lastly, we show that Nud1p from T. thermophila is a member of the Ezl1p complex, the histone methyltransferase Polycomb Group homologue of this protozoan. With the use of in vitro enzymatic assays we show, in addition, that Nu1dp hydrolyses CoA preferentially over acetyl-CoA and other nucleoside derivatives.

  • Ribonuclease and Deoxyribonuclease Activities in Experimental and Human Tumors by the Histochemical Substrate Film Method*
    Ribonuclease and Deoxyribonuclease Activities in Experimental and Human Tumors by the Histochemical Substrate Film Method* R. DAOUSTJANDHARUKOAMANOÕ (Laboratoires de Recherche, Institut du Cancer de Montréal,Hôpital Notre-Dame et Universitéde Montréal,Montréal,Canada) SUMMARY The ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities of 65 experimental and human tu mors (32 different types) have been examined by histochemical substrate film methods. A same general pattern was obtained for the distribution of both nucleases in the various types of experimental and human tumors. The connective tissue stroma and the necrotic regions of the tumor masses showed various levels of nuclease activity, whereas the neoplastic cells showed no demonstrable activity. It appears that deficien cies in ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities represent general properties of cancer cells. The possible significance of the losses of nuclease activities in carcinogenesis is dis cussed.
