Deletion of the Gene Encoding the Reductase Component of 3
Yeh et al. Microbial Cell Factories 2014, 13:130 http://www.microbialcellfactories.com/content/13/1/130 RESEARCH Open Access Deletion of the gene encoding the reductase component of 3-ketosteroid 9α-hydroxylase in Rhodococcus equi USA-18 disrupts sterol catabolism, leading to the accumulation of 3-oxo-23,24-bisnorchola-1,4-dien-22-oic acid and 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione Chin-Hsing Yeh1, Yung-Shun Kuo1, Che-Ming Chang1, Wen-Hsiung Liu2, Meei-Ling Sheu3 and Menghsiao Meng1* Abstract The gene encoding the putative reductase component (KshB) of 3-ketosteroid 9α-hydroxylase was cloned from Rhodococcus equi USA-18, a cholesterol oxidase-producing strain formerly named Arthrobacter simplex USA-18, by PCR according to consensus amino acid motifs of several bacterial KshB subunits. Deletion of the gene in R. equi USA-18 by a PCR-targeted gene disruption method resulted in a mutant strain that could accumulate up to 0.58 mg/ml 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) in the culture medium when 0.2% cholesterol was used as the carbon source, indicating the involvement of the deleted enzyme in 9α-hydroxylation of steroids. In addition, this mutant also accumulated 3-oxo-23,24-bisnorchola-1,4-dien-22-oic acid (Δ1,4-BNC). Because both ADD and Δ1,4-BNC are important intermediates for the synthesis of steroid drugs, this mutant derived from R. equi USA-18 may deserve further investigation for its application potential. Background generally believed to be carried out by cholesterol oxidase, Steroid drugs, including androgens, anabolic steroids, es- which catalyzes the oxidation of the 3β-hydroxyl moiety of trogens and corticosteroids, have been widely used for a sterols with the simultaneous isomerization of Δ5 to Δ4, variety of health purposes. -

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2015 ABSTRACT Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal and X-linked recessive disorder, characterized by congenital abnormalities, pediatric bone marrow failure and cancer susceptibility. FA is caused by biallelic mutations in any one of 16 genes. The FA proteins function cooperatively in the FA-BRCA pathway to repair DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). The monoubiquitination of FANCD2 and FANCI is a central step in the activation of the FA-BRCA pathway and is required for targeting these proteins to chromatin. -

The Comparative Enzymology and Cell Origin of Rat Hepatomas II
The Comparative Enzymology and Cell Origin of Rat Hepatomas II. Glutamate Dehydrogenase, Choline Oxidase, and Glucose-6-phosphatase* HENRY C. PITOT~ (McArdle Memorial Laboratory, The Medical School, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.) SUMMARY The activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, glutamate dehydrogcnase, and choline ox[- dase were determined in some or all of ten rat hepatomas, including the Novikoff, Dunning L-C18, McCoy MDAB, and the Morris 3683, 39524A, and 51~3 hepatomas, together with primary hepatomas produced by feeding ethionine or 3%nethyl-4- dimethylaminoazobenzene, and transplanted hepatomas derived from the primary tumors induced with ethionine. Of these neoplasms, only the Morris hepatoma 51~3, the primary and transplanted ethionine-induced hepatomas, and one of the 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene- induced tumors possessed significant glucose-6-phosphatase activity. These same tu- mors in addition to the Dunning L-C18 hepatoma had demonstrable glutamate dehydro- genase activity, whereas the other neoplasms tested failed to show significant activity of this enzyme. With the exception of the primary dye-induced neoplasm, which was not tested, only those neoplasms having significant glucose-6-phosphatase activities showed any choline oxidase activity. Of those neoplasms tested for tryptophan peroxidase activity only the Morris hepa- toma 51~3, the primary ethionine-induced hepatoma, and some of the Dunning L-C18 hepatomas had any demonstrable activity of this enzyme. In contrast to most of the enzymatic activities reported here, the threonine dehydrase activity of the Morris hepatoma 51r was of the order of 40 times the level of this enzyme in the livers of animals bearing this tumor. -

Using C. glutamicum as a cellular biocatalyst we have expressed the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase MSMEG_5228 from Mycobacterium smegmatis to demonstrate that the resulting recombinant strain is able to oxidize in vivo C19 and C21 3-OH-steroids to their corresponding keto-derivatives. This new approach constitutes a proof of concept of a biotechnological process for producing value-added intermediates such as 4-pregnen-16α,17α-epoxy-16β-methyl-3,20-dione. Keywords: 3-OH-steroids; biotransformation; dehydrogenase; Rhodococcus and Corynebacterium expression systems 1. Introduction Corynebacterium glutamicum has been widely used for the industrial production of amino acids, but the publication of its complete genome [1,2] has provided the basis for an enormous progress in the use of this microorganism for other biotechnological applications placing it as an ideal chassis within the top ranking of cell factories [3]. -

The test principles are as follows: (1) Total Protein (TP) The total protein method is a Biuret reaction, the protein solution is treated with cupric [Cu(II)] ions in a strong alkaline medium. The Cu(II) ions react with peptide bonds between the carbonyl oxygen and amide nitrogen atoms to form a coloured Cu-protein complex. The amount of total protein present in the sample is directly proportional to the absorbance of the Cu-protein complex. The total protein test is an endpoint reaction and the absorbance is measured as the difference in absorbance between 550 nm and 800 nm. -

INACTIVATION OF CHOLINE OXIDASE BY IRREVERSIBLE INHIBITORS OR STORAGE CONDITIONS by JANE V. HOANG Under the Direction of Giovanni Gadda ABSTRACT Choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis is a flavin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of choline to betaine aldehyde through two sequential hydride-transfer steps. The study of this enzyme is of importance to the understanding of glycine betaine biosynthesis found in pathogenic bacterial or economic relevant crop plants as a response to temperature and salt stress in adverse environment. In this study, chemical modification of choline oxidase using two irreversible inhibitors, tetranitromethane and phenylhydrazine, was performed in order to gain insights into the active site structure of the enzyme. Choline oxidase can also be inactivated irreversibly by freezing in 20 mM sodium phosphate and 20 mM sodium pyrophosphate at pH 6 and -20 oC. The results showed that enzyme inactivation was due to a localized conformational change associated with the ionization of a group in close proximity to the flavin cofactor and led to a complete lost of catalytic activity.
