Transcriptomic and physiological characterization of the fefe mutant of melon (Cucumis melo) reveals new aspects of iron-copper crosstalk Brian M. Waters, Samuel A. McInturf and Keenan Amundsen Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska, Lincoln NE 68583-0915, USA Corresponding author – Brian M. Waters, email [email protected] Abstract Iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) homeostasis are tightly linked across biology. In previous work, Fe deficiency interacted with Cu-regu- lated genes and stimulated Cu accumulation. The C940-fe (fefe) Fe-uptake mutant of melon (Cucumis melo) was characterized, and the fefe mutant was used to test whether Cu deficiency could stimulate Fe uptake. Wild-type and fefe mutant transcriptomes were determined by RNA-seq under Fe and Cu deficiency. FeFe-regulated genes included core Fe uptake, metal homeostasis, and tran- scription factor genes. Numerous genes were regulated by both Fe and Cu. The fefe mutant was rescued by high Fe or by Cu defi- ciency, which stimulated ferric-chelate reductase activity, FRO2 expression, and Fe accumulation. Accumulation of Fe in Cu-de- ficient plants was independent of the normal Fe-uptake system. One of the four FRO genes in the melon and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) genomes was Fe-regulated, and one was Cu-regulated. Simultaneous Fe and Cu deficiency synergistically up-regulated Fe-uptake gene expression. Overlap in Fe and Cu deficiency transcriptomes highlights the importance of Fe-Cu crosstalk in metal homeostasis. The fefe gene is not orthologous to FIT, and thus identification of this gene will provide clues to help understand reg- ulation of Fe uptake in plants.

Abstract: Humulus lupulus L. is an essential source of aroma compounds, hop bitter acids, and xanthohumol derivatives mainly exploited as flavourings in beer brewing and with demonstrated potential for the treatment of certain diseases. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthesis of these compounds, the primary enzymes involved in the three major pathways of hops’ phytochemical composition are herein critically summarized. Hops’ phytochemical components impart bitterness, aroma, and antioxidant activity to beers. The biosynthesis pathways have been extensively studied and enzymes play essential roles in the processes. Here, we introduced the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of hop bitter acids, monoterpenes and xanthohumol deriva- tives, including the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT), branched-chain keto-acid dehydroge- nase (BCKDH), carboxyl CoA ligase (CCL), valerophenone synthase (VPS), prenyltransferase (PT), 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR), Geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS), monoterpene synthase enzymes (MTS), cinnamate Citation: Hong, K.; Wang, L.; 4-hydroxylase (C4H), chalcone synthase (CHS_H1), chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins (CHIL), Johnpaul, A.; Lv, C.; Ma, C.

The discovery of new sources of HNL activity has been reported several times as the result of extensive screening of diverse plants for cyanogenic activity. Herein we report a two step-method that allows estimation of not only the native size of the active HNL enzyme but also its substrate specificity. Specifically, crude protein extracts from plant tissue are first subjected to blue native-PAGE. The resulting gel is then directly used for an activity assay in which the formation of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is detected upon the cyanogenesis reaction of any cyanohydrin catalyzed by the enzyme of interest. The same gel may be used with different substrates, thus exploring the enzyme’s substrate scope already on the screening level. In combination with mass spectrometry, sequence information can be retrieved, which is demonstrated

  • ADHERENCE and ALKALINIZATION by Elizabeth Hwang
    TWO EARLY PROCESSES DURING INFECTION BY THE FUNGAL PATHOGEN CANDIDA GLABRATA: ADHERENCE AND ALKALINIZATION By Elizabeth Hwang-Wong A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland November, 2016 Abstract Candida glabrata is a yeast pathogen of increasing diagnostic incidence. Its intrinsic resistance to antifungal agents used in standard clinical settings compels a need to further characterize and understand the pathogenesis of this species. The ability of C. glabrata to adhere to both abiotic surfaces and host cells is an essential early step in establishment of infection. It is also postulated that the capability of this pathogen to externally alkalinize an acidic environment, such as that found within an immune effector’s phagolysosome, could provide an evasive mechanism to resist initial onslaught of an innate immune response. Members of a major class of adhesins encoded by the C. glabrata genome were previously described as Epithelial Adhesins (Epas). Earlier studies have demonstrated the existence of more than 20 members of this class, many of which are encoded in subtelomeric regions of the pathogen’s genome. A major sequencing project has now defined a total complement of 25 members, a newly described one of which is shown to function as a major adhesin across multiple host cell types. In fact, functional adherence of all putative adhesins encoded in the subtelomeres of C. glabrata has been tested, and with minor exception, all are EPAs. The ligand specificities of these functional adhesins were further tested utilizing glycan arrays, and revealed clues identifying a specific EPA responsible for mediating adherence to macrophages.

  • The HOTHEAD Protein: Assessing Enzymatic Activity Using Computational and Recombinant Protein Expression Approaches
    The HOTHEAD Protein: Assessing Enzymatic Activity using Computational and Recombinant Protein Expression Approaches By Eric Le Dreff-Kerwin A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo In fulfillment of the Thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science In Biology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 © Eric Le Dreff-Kerwin 2019 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract In Arabidopsis thaliana, a number of genes regulating cuticle synthesis have been identified by virtue of organ fusion phenotype. One such gene, HOTHEAD (HTH) was among those originally identified by this phenotype but its exact role in cuticle formation has proven challenging to determine. Previous bioinformatic work has identified that the HTH protein is a member of the GMC oxidoreductase family, and shares peptide sequence identity with a mandelonitrile lyase and an alcohol dehydrogenase that are within the same protein family. This thesis work investigated the potential enzymatic function of HTH by comparing a structural model to two structural analogs. The structure model of HTH, as determined in this study, shows that HTH shares certain conserved features of GMC proteins. The aim of this research also included isolating a recombinantly expressed HTH protein from Escherichia coli and initial work in Pichia pastoris. Protein isolation attempts in Escherichia coli failed to yield active HTH protein, potentially due to the lack of post-translational modifications.

Ten flavoproteins occur as isozymes and assume special functions in Coenzyme Q the human organism. Two thirds of flavin-dependent proteins are associated with disorders caused by Folate Heme allelic variants affecting protein function. Flavin-dependent proteins also play an important role in the Pyridoxal 50-phosphate biosynthesis of other essential cofactors and hormones such as coenzyme A, coenzyme Q, heme, pyri- Steroids doxal 50-phosphate, steroids and thyroxine. Moreover, they are important for the regulation of folate Thyroxine metabolites by using tetrahydrofolate as cosubstrate in choline degradation, reduction of N-5.10-meth- Vitamins ylenetetrahydrofolate to N-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and maintenance of the catalytically competent form of methionine synthase.

This study focuses on the molecular characterization of mechanisms controlling waterlogging tolerance using two zombi pea varieties with contrasting waterlogging tolerance. Morphological examination revealed that in contrast to the sensitive variety, the tolerant variety was able to grow, maintain chlorophyll, form lateral roots, and develop aerenchyma in hypocotyl and taproots under waterlogging. To find the mechanism controlling waterlogging tolerance in zombi pea, comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using roots subjected to short-term waterlogging. Functional analysis indicated that glycolysis and fermentative genes were strongly upregulated in the sensitive variety, but not in the tolerant one. In contrast, the genes involved in auxin-regulated lateral root initiation and formation were expressed only in the tolerant variety.
