In mammalian cells, mitochondrial sirtuins have been implicated in regulation of metabolic homeostasis via several different mitochondrial pathways (6–14, 16). To assess the importance of dSirt4 in maintaining normal metabolism during fasting and starvation, we performed a starvation sensitivity assay in dSirt4 knockout or dSirt4-overexpressing flies. We found that flies lacking dSirt4 were sensitive to starvation, and died much sooner than the genetically matched wild-type cohort (Fig. 3A and Fig. S5A). Conversely, we found that flies overexpressing dSirt4 were re- sistant to starvation, and able to survive longer than genetically Fig. 1. dSirt4 is localized to mitochondria.

In the previous reports (1, 2, 3), the author came to a conclusion that aconitase would be a single enzyme, and one enzyme and one activated complex theory was proposed. In the present communication, some additional proofs of the theory using labeled substrates will be reported. EXPERIMENTAL The Enzyme Preparation and the Methods of Analysis The preparation of the rabbit liver enzyme was the same as reported previously (1) except it was centrifuged at 120,000 x g for 30 minutes and the supernatant was kept. General properties of the enzyme preparation were not changed by this treat ment. The preparation and the analysis of non-labeled substrates were previously reported. The Preparation of DL-Isocitric Acid-2-C14 Usually DL-isocitric acid was prepared by hydrolysis of trichloromethylparaconic acid. It was, however, rather difficult to prepare the carbon-2 labeled compound by this method. Therefore, the compound was prepared by an entirely new process. Ethyl Formate-C14•\Formic acid was prepared by the usual method from labeled barium carbonate.

It is an important marker in multicomponent procedures for the evaluation of authenticity and quality of fruit products; high citric/isocitric acid ratios can be used as an indicator of citric acid addition in some juices. PRINCIPLE: D-Isocitric acid is oxidised by nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide + phosphate (NADP ) to 2-oxoglutarate and CO2 in the presence of isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), with the formation of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) (1). (ICDH) + + (1) D-Isocitric acid + NADP 2-oxoglutarate + CO2 + NADPH + H The amount of NADPH formed in this reaction is stoichiometric with the amount of D-isocitric acid. It is the NADPH which is measured by the increase in absorbance at 340 nm. Bound D-isocitric acid is released by alkaline hydrolysis (2), (3), and then measured using the same principle (1). (pH 9-10) (2) D-Isocitric acid ester + H2O D-isocitric acid + alcohol (pH 9-10) (3) D-Isocitric acid lactone + H2O D-isocitric acid SPECIFICITY, SENSITIVITY, LINEARITY AND PRECISION: The assay is specific for D-isocitric acid. D-malic acid, L-lactic acid, L-aspartic acid and fumaric acid do not react. The smallest differentiating absorbance for the assay is 0.005 absorbance units. This corresponds to 0.177 mg/L of sample solution at the maximum sample volume of 2.00 mL (or to 3.54 mg/L with a sample volume of 0.1 mL).

However, there are challenges in both identifcation and quantifcation of the hydrophilic metabolites due to their weak interactions with C18-reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), leading to poor retention of hydrophilic metabolites on the columns. Many strategies have been put forward to increase the retention behavior of hydrophilic metabolites in the RPLC system. Non- derivatization methods are mainly focused on the development of new chromatographic techniques with diferent separation mechanisms, such as capillary electrophoresis, ion-pairing RPLC etc. Derivatization methods improve the hydrophobicity of metabolites and can enhance the MS response. This review mainly focused on the illustration of challenges of LCMS in the analysis of hydrophilic metabolomics feld, and summarized the non-derivatization and derivatization strategies, with the intention of providing multiple choices for analysis of hydrophilic metabolites.

  • Citric Acid Cycle
    Lecture: 4 Biochemistry Anwar J Almzaiel Citric acid cycle Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle) is a series of reactions in mitochondria that bring about the catabolism of acetyl residues, liberating hydrogen equivalents, which upon oxidation lead to the release of most the energy of tissues fuels. The major function of cycle is to act as the final common pathway for oxidation of fatty acids, carbohydrates and proteins. It includes the electron transport system, the energy is produced in large amounts. Several of these processes are carried out in many tissues but the liver is the only tissue in which all occur to a significant extent, thus it is lethal when large numbers of hepatic cell are damaged or replaced by connective tissue, as in acute hepatitis and cirrhosis respectively. This cycle is found in the mitochondria. It starts with pyruvic acid which comes from cytoplasm to the mitochondria to be converted with coenzymes (NAD) and enzymes into acetyl COA + Pyruvic acid + COA +NAD Acetyl CoA +NADH+ CO2 The enzymes needed are found in the mitochondria close to the enzymes of the respiratory chain The oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA Before pyruvate can enter the citric acid cycle, it must be transported into the mitochondria via a special pyruvate transporter that aids its passage across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Within the mitochondria, pyruvate is oxdatively decarboxylated into acetyl COA. The conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl COA involves 5 types of reaction and each reaction is catalysed by different enzyme system these enzymes act as a multi enzyme system (complex).

  • Metabolomic Analysis of Trichophyton Rubrum and Microsporum Canis
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Metabolomic analysis of Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum canis during keratin degradation Anita Ciesielska 1*, Anna Kawa1, Katarzyna Kanarek1, Adrian Soboń 1 & Rafał Szewczyk 2 Keratin is important and needed for the growth of dermatophytes in the host tissue. In turn, the ability to invade keratinised tissues is defned as a pivotal virulence attribute of this group of medically important fungi. The host–dermatophyte interaction is accompanied by an adaptation of fungal metabolism that allows them to adhere to the host tissue as well as utilize the available nutrients necessary for their survival and growth. Dermatophyte infections pose a signifcant epidemiological and clinical problem. Trichophyton rubrum is the most common anthropophilic dermatophyte worldwide and its typical infection areas include skin of hands or feet and nail plate. In turn, Microsporum canis is a zoophilic pathogen, and mostly well known for ringworm in pets, it is also known to infect humans. The aim of the study was to compare the intracellular metabolite content in the T. rubrum and M. canis during keratin degradation using liquid chromatography system coupled with tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). The metabolite “fngerprints” revealed compounds associated with amino acids metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism related to the glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), as well as nucleotide and energy metabolism. The metabolites such as kynurenic acid, l-alanine and cysteine in case of T. rubrum as well as cysteine and ribofavin in case of M. canis were detected only during keratin degradation what may suggest that these compounds may play a key role in the interactions of T.

This work demonstrates the possibility of using waste product from the alcohol industry (so-called ester-aldehyde fraction) for production of isocitric acid by yeasts. The potential producer of isocitric acid from this fraction, Yarrowia lipolytica VKM Y-2373, was selected by screening of various yeast cultures. The selected strain showed sufficient growth and good acid formation in media with growth-limiting concentrations of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and magnesium. A shortage of Fe2+ and Ca2+ ions suppressed both Y. lipolytica growth and formation of isocitric acid. The preferential synthesis of isocitric acid can be regulated by changing the nature and concentration of nitrogen source, pH of cultivation medium, and concentration of ester-aldehyde fraction. Experiments in this direction allowed us to obtain 65 g/L isocitric acid with a product yield (YICA) of 0.65 g/g in four days of cultivation.
