Continuous use biosensors are becoming more important in the clinical setting; however, long-use creatinine biosensors have not been commercialized due to the complexity of the three-enzyme creatinine biosensor and the lack of stability of its components. This paper, the second in a series of three, describes the immobilization and stabilization of creatine amidinohydrolase. Creatine amidinohydrolase modified with poly(ethylene glycol) activated with isocyanate retains significant activity after modification. The enzyme was successfully immobilized into hydrophilic polyurethanes using a reactive prepolymer strategy. The immobilized enzyme retained significant activity over a 30 day period at 37 °C and was irreversibly immobilized into the polymer. Despite being stabilized in the polymer, the enzyme remained highly sensitive to silver ions which were released from the amperometric electrodes. Computational analysis of the structure of the protein using the Gaussian network model suggests that the silver ions bind tightly to a cysteine residue preventing normal enzyme dynamics and catalysis.

  • Differential Gene Expression in Tomato Fruit and Colletotrichum
    Barad et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:579 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3961-6 RESEARCH Open Access Differential gene expression in tomato fruit and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides during colonization of the RNAi–SlPH tomato line with reduced fruit acidity and higher pH Shiri Barad1,2, Noa Sela3, Amit K. Dubey1, Dilip Kumar1, Neta Luria1, Dana Ment1, Shahar Cohen4, Arthur A. Schaffer4 and Dov Prusky1* Abstract Background: The destructive phytopathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes anthracnose disease in fruit. During host colonization, it secretes ammonia, which modulates environmental pH and regulates gene expression, contributing to pathogenicity. However, the effect of host pH environment on pathogen colonization has never been evaluated. Development of an isogenic tomato line with reduced expression of the gene for acidity, SlPH (Solyc10g074790.1.1), enabled this analysis. Total RNA from C. gloeosporioides colonizing wild-type (WT) and RNAi– SlPH tomato lines was sequenced and gene-expression patterns were compared. Results: C. gloeosporioides inoculation of the RNAi–SlPH line with pH 5.96 compared to the WT line with pH 4.2 showed 30% higher colonization and reduced ammonia accumulation. Large-scale comparative transcriptome analysis of the colonized RNAi–SlPH and WT lines revealed their different mechanisms of colonization-pattern activation: whereas the WT tomato upregulated 13-LOX (lipoxygenase), jasmonic acid and glutamate biosynthesis pathways, it downregulated processes related to chlorogenic acid biosynthesis II, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and hydroxycinnamic acid tyramine amide biosynthesis; the RNAi–SlPH line upregulated UDP-D-galacturonate biosynthesis I and free phenylpropanoid acid biosynthesis, but mainly downregulated pathways related to sugar metabolism, such as the glyoxylate cycle and L-arabinose degradation II.

  • A Stable Three-Enzyme Creatinine Biosensor. 1. Impact of Structure, Function and Environment on Pegylated and Immobilized Sarcosine Oxidase
    ActaBIOMATERIALIA Acta Biomaterialia 1 (2005) 173–181 www.actamat-journals.com A stable three-enzyme creatinine biosensor. 1. Impact of structure, function and environment on PEGylated and immobilized sarcosine oxidase Jason A. Berberich c,1, Lee Wei Yang a, Jeff Madura b, Ivet Bahar a, Alan J. Russell c,* a Center for Computational Biology & Bioinformatics and Department of Molecular Genetics & Biochemistry, School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA b Department of Chemistry, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA c Department of Surgery, McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, USA Received 11 October 2004; received in revised form 26 November 2004; accepted 28 November 2004 Abstract The determination of creatinine levels in biological fluids is an increasingly important clinical requirement. Amperometric bio- sensors have been developed based on a three-enzyme system which converts creatinine to amperometrically measurable hydrogen peroxide. The development of the amperometric creatinine biosensor has been slow due the complexity of the three-enzyme system. This paper, the first of three, discusses the chemical modification of sarcosine oxidase and the immobilization and stabilization of this enzyme using polyurethane prepolymers. Sarcosine oxidase was completely inactivated after modification using poly(ethylene glycol) activated with isocyanate. The addition of a competitive inhibitor during enzyme modification was effective in protecting the enzyme from inactivation. Computational analysis of the structure of sarcosine oxidase suggests that there is a lysine in the active site that may be hyper-reactive. The enzyme was irreversibly immobilized using polyurethane prepolymers and retained significant activity. The enzymeÕs half-life at 37 °C increased from seven days to more than 50 days after immobilization.

Page 2/23 Abstract Enzymatic quantication of creatinine has become an essential method for clinical evaluation of renal function. Although creatinase (CR) is frequently used for this purpose, its poor thermostability severely limits industrial applications. Herein, we report a novel creatinase from Alcaligenes faecalis (afCR) with higher catalytic activity and lower KM value, than currently used creatinases.

Abstract: Nesterenkonia sp. PF2B19, a psychrophile was isolated from 44,800-year-old permafrost soil. This is the first report on comparative genomics of Nesterenkonia sp. isolated from Arctic. Genome of PF2B19 exhibited the presence of a vast array of genetic determinants involved in cold adaptation i.e., response to cold-associated general, osmotic, and oxidative stress. These genomic attributes proved to be valuable in unraveling the adaptive tactics employed by PF2B19 for survival in the Citation: Singh, P.; Kapse, N.; Gowdaman, V.; Tsuji, M.; Singh, S.M.; cold permafrost soils of the Arctic. Genomic analysis of PF2B19 has given some valuable insight Dhakephalkar, P.K. Comparative into the biotechnological potential of this strain, particularly as a source of cold-active enzymes, as a Genomic Analysis of Arctic bioremediating agent and as plant growth-promoting bacteria.

  • Alteration of Electron Acceptor Preferences in the Oxidative Half-Reaction of Flavin-Dependent Oxidases and Dehydrogenases
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Alteration of Electron Acceptor Preferences in the Oxidative Half-Reaction of Flavin-Dependent Oxidases and Dehydrogenases Kentaro Hiraka 1, Wakako Tsugawa 1 and Koji Sode 2,* 1 Department of Biotechnology and Life Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Naka-cho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan; [email protected] (K.H.); [email protected] (W.T.) 2 Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-919-966-3550 Received: 5 May 2020; Accepted: 24 May 2020; Published: 27 May 2020 Abstract: In this review, recent progress in the engineering of the oxidative half-reaction of flavin-dependent oxidases and dehydrogenases is discussed, considering their current and future applications in bioelectrochemical studies, such as for the development of biosensors and biofuel cells. There have been two approaches in the studies of oxidative half-reaction: engineering of the oxidative half-reaction with oxygen, and engineering of the preference for artificial electron acceptors. The challenges for engineering oxidative half-reactions with oxygen are further categorized into the following approaches: (1) mutation to the putative residues that compose the cavity where oxygen may be located, (2) investigation of the vicinities where the reaction with oxygen may take place, and (3) investigation of possible oxygen access routes to the isoalloxazine ring. Among these approaches, introducing a mutation at the oxygen access route to the isoalloxazine ring represents the most versatile and effective strategy.
