In Vitro: The Extraordinary Enhancement in Rutin Accumulation and Antioxidant Activity in Philodendron "Imperial Red" Plantlets Using Ti-Mo-Ni-O Nanotubes as a Novel Elicitor. BIOTECH 2024; 13:24. [PMID: 39051339 PMCID: PMC11270356 DOI: 10.3390/biotech13030024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Rutin, a flavonoid phytochemical compound, plays a vital role in human health. It is used in treating capillary fragility and has anti-Alzheimer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. In this study, Ti-Mo-Ni-O nanotubes (NTs) were used, for the first time, in an unprecedented plant biotechnology application, wherein in vitro Philodendron shoots (Philodendron erubescens) known as "Imperial Red" were targeted for rutin accumulation. The antioxidant responses and the accumulation of rutin were evaluated in treated Philodendron erubescens (P. erubescens) shoots using 5.0 mg/L of Ti-Mo-Ni-O NTs. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were estimated, and an ABTS+ assay, FRAP assay, and iron metal chelation assay were performed. The application of Ti-Mo-Ni-O NTs enhanced the rutin content considerably from 0.02 mg/g to 2.96 mg/g for dry-weight shootlet extracts. Therefore, the use of Ti-Mo-Ni-O NTs is proposed to be a superior alternative to elevate the rutin content. The aim of the current study is to target P. erubescens shoots grown in vitro for the accumulation of rutin compounds using Ti-Mo-Ni-O NT powder, to determine the quantitative and qualitative accumulation of rutin via HPLC-DAD analysis, and to estimate the antioxidant activity of P. erubescens shoot extract. This study presents a novel methodology for utilizing nano-biotechnology in the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites.

Soil chemistry, metabarcoding, and metabolome analyses reveal that a sugarcane- Dictyophora indusiata intercropping system can enhance soil health by reducing soil nitrogen loss. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1193990. [PMID: 37303785 PMCID: PMC10249477 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1193990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Greater amounts of fertilizer are applied every year to meet the growing demand for food. Sugarcane is one of the important food sources for human beings. Methods Here, we evaluated the effects of a sugarcane-Dictyophora indusiata (DI) intercropping system on soil health by conducting an experiment with three different treatments: (1) bagasse application (BAS process), (2) bagasse + DI (DIS process), and (3) the control (CK). We then analyzed soil chemistry, the diversity of soil bacteria and fungi, and the composition of metabolites to clarify the mechanism underlying the effects of this intercropping system on soil properties. Results and discussion Soil chemistry analyses revealed that the content of several soil nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) was higher in the BAS process than in the CK. In the DIS process, a large amount of soil P was consumed by DI. At the same time, the urease activity was inhibited, thus slowing down the loss of soil in the DI process, while the activity of other enzymes such as β-glucosidase and laccase was increased. It was also noticed that the content of lanthanum and calcium was higher in the BAS process than in the other treatments, and DI did not significantly alter the concentrations of these soil metal ions. Bacterial diversity was higher in the BAS process than in the other treatments, and fungal diversity was lower in the DIS process than in the other treatments. The soil metabolome analysis revealed that the abundance of carbohydrate metabolites was significantly lower in the BAS process than in the CK and the DIS process. The abundance of D(+)-talose was correlated with the content of soil nutrients. Path analysis revealed that the content of soil nutrients in the DIS process was mainly affected by fungi, bacteria, the soil metabolome, and soil enzyme activity. Our findings indicate that the sugarcane-DIS intercropping system can enhance soil health.

Abstract
As odd as it may seem at first glance, minerals, it is what we are all about…or nearly. Although life on Earth is carbon-based, several other elements present in the planet’s crust are involved in and often indispensable for functioning of living organisms. Many ions are essential, and others show supportive and accessory qualities. They are operative in the skin, supporting specific processes related to the particular situation of this organ at the interface with the environment. Skin bioenergetics, redox balance, epidermal barrier function, and dermal remodeling are amongst crucial activities guided by or taking advantage of mineral elements. Skin regenerative processes and skin ageing can be positively impacted by adequate accessibility, distribution, and balance of inorganic ions.

Abstract
This paper deals with the biological potential of coordination compounds based on binuclear core [MoV2O2E2]2+ (E = O or S) coordinated with commercially available ligands such as oxalates (Ox2-), L-cysteine (L-cys2-), L-histidine (L-his-), Iminodiacetate (IDA2-), Nitrilotriacetate (HNTA2- or NTA3-) or ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA4-) by means of various in vitro assays in a screening approach. Results suggest that the obtained complexes show weak antibacterial and antifungal properties while not being cytotoxic on cancerous and mammalian cells. In contrast, [Mo2O2E2(L-cys)2]2- complexes stand out as powerful antioxidant, whereas [Mo2O2E2(EDTA)]2- associating tetraphenylphosphonium counter-cations display strong antibiotic activity. Finally, some complexes have evidenced a positive activity towards the growing of spirulina platensis together with a modification of the proportions of biological components inside the cells. These findings reveal promising bioactivity of the bridged binuclear Mo(+V) cores inside complexes and encourage further research for new highly active yet non-toxic molecules for biological and biomedical applications.

Molybdenum and cadmium co-induce mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction via ROS-mediated PINK1/Parkin pathway in Hepa1-6 cells. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 224:112618.

Abstract
Excessive molybdenum (Mo) and Cadmium (Cd) can adversely affect health status. However, the correlation between mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by Mo and Cd and the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction via the ROS-mediated PINK1/Parkin pathway caused by Mo and Cd. Here, Hepa1-6 cells were incubated with (NH4)6Mo7O24.4 H2O (600.0 μM Mo), CdCl2 (10.0 μM Cd), and the combination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger (N-acetyl-L-cysteine, NAC, 100.0 μM), or mitophagy inhibitor (Cyclosporin A, CsA, 1.0 μM) for 24 h. Results revealed that Mo or/and Cd elevated the level of intracellular ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. Additionally, Mo or/and Cd could observably increase the percentage of cells with low membrane potential and decrease the content of ATP, elevate the number of autophagosomes and LC3 puncta, upregulate the mRNA and protein levels of LC3II/LC3I, Parkin, Pink1, VDAC1, downregulate mRNA and protein levels of P62. Moreover, treatments with NAC could significantly alleviate the changes of the above factors co-induced by Mo and Cd, and CsA intensify the changes of the above factors. In summary, our results reveal that Mo and Cd co-exposure can cause oxidative stress and mitophagy via the ROS-mediated PINK1/Parkin pathway in Hepa1-6 cells, and inhibition of mitophagy aggravates Mo and Cd co-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Nutritional immunity is a powerful strategy at the core of the battlefield between host survival and pathogen proliferation. A host can prevent pathogens from accessing biological metals such as Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Co or Ni, or actively intoxicate them with metal overload. While the importance of metal homeostasis for the enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica Typhimurium was demonstrated many decades ago, inconsistent results across various mouse models, diverse Salmonella genotypes, and differing infection routes challenge aspects of our understanding of this phenomenon. With expanding access to CRISPR-Cas9 for host genome manipulation, it is now pertinent to re-visit past results in the context of specific mouse models, identify gaps and incongruities in current knowledge landscape of Salmonella homeostasis, and recommend a straight path forward towards a more universal understanding of this historic host-microbe relationship.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) contamination of agricultural soils around Mo-mining areas is of emerging environmental concern. This study evaluated potential practical techniques for chemical immobilization of three Mo contaminated agricultural soils via application of up to six amendments from four different types of materials including biosolids, biochar supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (BC-nZVI), drinking water treatment residues (WTR) and ferrous minerals (magnetite and ferrihydrite). The efficacy of the different amendments on soil Mo bioaccessibility and bioavailability was evaluated by monitoring Mo uptake in both monocotyledon (ryegrass) and dicotyledon (alfalfa) plants, soil extractable Mo, and Mo bioavailability as measured by Diffusive Gradient in Thin Films (DGT®). All amendments exhibited no immobilization effect and increased Mo extractability in the severely contaminated soil (264 mg Mo kg-1). In contrast, in lightly and moderately contaminated soils (22 and 98 mg Mo kg-1), biosolids, WTR and magnetite all reduced soil extractable Mo and decreased Mo uptake in both alfalfa and ryegrass shoots relative to controls (CK). Moreover, DGT showed that during incubation experiments while biosolids amendments increased Mo bioavailability from 115 to 378% compared to the CK treatments, all other amendments decreased Mo bioavailability insignificantly.

Abstract
Determining mineral status of production animals is important when developing an optimum health program. Nutrition is the largest expense in food animal production and has the greatest impact on health and productivity of the animals. Knowing the bioavailability of minerals in the diet is difficult. Evaluating fluid or tissues from animals is the optimum method to determine bioavailability. Evaluating the diet provides some information. Serum/blood or liver from the animal needs to be analyzed to determine bioavailability of vitamin and minerals in the diet. This article reviews how to sample and the function of these minerals in cattle.

Abstract
The C-repeat binding factor/dehydration responsive element binding proteins (CBF/DREB) constitute a large group of transcriptional factors. Their role in abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and low temperature tolerance in plants have been well established, while little information about their role in metals stress tolerance is available. Transcriptomic analyses of four genes (DREB-1A, DREB-1B, DREB-1F and CBF) were carried out in industrially important plant Ricinus communis under cadmium (Cd) and molybdenum (Mo) treatments. Cadmium (in soil) and Mo (as foliar spray) were used separate as well as in combinations. All the genes (except DREB 1A) expressed under Cd stress, while Mo further enhanced their expression. The proline (55.68 ± 5.51 ppm) and phenolic (120.00 ± 14.40 ppm) contents were significant increase in combination treatments of Cd and Mo. Positive and significant correlations of DREB 1B, DREB 1F and CBF genes expressions with free proline (0.92, 0.93 and 0.88 respectively), phenolic (075, 0.77 and 0.62 respectively) contents and Cd accumulation were demonstrated. Nucleotide sequence of R. comunis DREB1F and CBF genes showed more than 80% homology with related genes of other flowering plants. Predicted amino acids sequence of R. communis DREB 1F and CBF protein fragment demonstrated more than 75% homology with related proteins from other flowering plants.

Weed control is a challenging event during crop cultivation. Integrated management, including the application of bioherbicides, is an emerging method for weed control in sustainable agriculture. Plant extracts, allelochemicals and some microbes are utilized as bioherbicides to control weed populations. Bioherbicides based on plants and microbes inhibit the germination and growth of weeds; however,few studies conducted in weed physiology. This review ascribes the current knowledge of the physiological changes in weeds that occur during the exposure to bioherbicides. Plant extracts or metabolites are absorbed by weed seeds, which initiates damage to the cell membrane, DNA, mitosis, amylase activity and other biochemical processes and delays or inhibits seed germination. The growth of weeds is also retarded due to low rates of root-cell division, nutrient uptake, photosynthetic pigment synthesis, and plant growth hormone synthesis, while the productions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and stress-mediated hormones increase, including irregular antioxidant activity. However, lytic enzymes and toxic substances secreted from microbes degrade the weed seed coat and utilize the endosperm for survival, which inhibits seed germination. The microbes grow through the intercellular spaces to reach the root core, and the deposition of toxins in the cells affects cell division and cellular functions. Some of the metabolites of deleterious microbes cause disease, necrosis and chlorosis,which inhibit the germination and growth of weed seeds by suppressing photosynthesis and gibberellin activities and enhancing ROS, abscisic acid and ethylene. This review explains the effects of bioherbicides (derived from plants and microbes) on weed-plant physiology to elucidate their modes of action.

Abstract
Aided phytostabilization of a barren, alkaline metal(loid)-contaminated technosol developed on steel mill wastes, with high soluble Cr and Mo concentrations, was assessed in a pot experiment using (1) Ni/Cd-tolerant populations of Festuca pratensis Huds., Holcus lanatus L., and Plantago lanceolata L. sowed in mixed stand and (2) six soil treatments: untreated soil (UNT), ramial chipped wood (RCW, 500m3ha-1), composted sewage sludge (CSS, 120t DW ha-1), UNT soil amended with compost (5% w/w) and either vermiculite (5%, VOM) or iron grit (1%, OMZ), and an uncontaminated soil (CTRL). In the CSS soil, pH and soluble Cr decreased whereas soluble Cu, K, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ni and P increased. The RCW treatment enhanced soluble Fe, Mn, and Mg concentrations. After 15 weeks, shoot DW yield and shoot Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn, and Mg removals peaked for F. pratensis grown on the CSS soil, with lowest shoot Cr, Ni and Mo concentrations. Holcus lanatus only grew on the CTRL, UNT, and CSS soils and P. lanceolata on the CTRL soil. Best treatment, F. pratensis grown on the CSS soil, led to a dense grass cover but its shoot Mo concentration exceeded the maximum permitted concentration in forage.

Abstract
Biological metal ions, including Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn ions, are necessary for the survival and the growth of all microorganisms. Their biological functions are linked to their particular chemical properties: they play a role in structuring macromolecules and/or act as co-factors catalyzing diverse biochemical reactions. These metal ions are also essential for microbial pathogens during infection: they are involved in bacterial metabolism and various virulence factor functions. Therefore, during infection, bacteria need to acquire biological metal ions from the host such that there is competition for these ions between the bacterium and the host. Evidence is increasingly emerging of "nutritional immunity" against pathogens in the hosts; this includes strategies making access to metals difficult for infecting bacteria. It is clear that biological metals play key roles during infection and in the battle between the pathogens and the host. Here, we summarize current knowledge about the strategies used by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to access the various biological metals it requires. P. aeruginosa is a medically significant Gram-negative bacterial opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients and that is responsible for nosocomial infections worldwide.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soil negatively affects crops yield and compromises food safety. Remediation of polluted soil is necessary for the re-establishment of sustainable agriculture and to prevent hazards to human health and environmental pollution. Phytoremediation is a promising technology for decontamination of polluted soil. The present study investigated the effect of molybdenum (Mo) (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ppm) on endogenous production of total phenolics and free proline, plant biomass and photosynthetic pigments in Ricinus communis plants grown in Cd (25, 50 and 100 ppm) contaminated soils and the potential for Cd phytoextraction. Mo was applied via seed soaking, soil addition and foliar spray. Foliar sprays significantly increased plant biomass, Cd accumulation and bioconcentration. Phenolic concentrations showed significantly positive correlations with Cd accumulation in roots (R 2 = 0.793, 0.807 and 0.739) and leaves (R 2 = 0.707, 721 and 0.866). Similarly, proline was significantly positively correlated with Cd accumulation in roots (R 2 = 0.668, 0.694 and 0.673) and leaves (R 2 = 0.831, 0.964 and 0.930). Foliar application was found to be the most effective way to deliver Mo in terms of increase in plant growth, Cd accumulation and production of phenolics and proline.

Abstract
An original synthesis of the fused pyranoquinoxaline dithiolene ligand qpdt(2-) is discussed in detail. The most intriguing step is the introduction of the dithiolene moiety by Pd-catalyzed carbon-sulfur coupling. The corresponding Mo(IV)O complex (Bu4N)2 [MoO(qpdt)2] (2) underwent reversible protonation in a strongly acidic medium and remained stable under anaerobic conditions. Besides, 2 was found to be very sensitive towards oxygen, as upon oxidation it formed a planar dithiin derivative. Moreover, the qpdt(2-) ligand in the presence of [MoCl4 (tBuNC)2] formed a tetracyclic structure. The products resulting from the unique reactivity of qpdt(2-) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. Plausible mechanisms for the formation of these products are also proposed.

Abstract
In living systems, tungsten is exclusively found in microbial enzymes coordinated by the pyranopterin cofactor, with additional metal coordination provided by oxygen and/or sulfur, and/or selenium atoms in diverse arrangements. Prominent examples are formate dehydrogenase, formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase, and aldehyde oxidoreductase all of which catalyze redox reactions. The bacterial enzyme acetylene hydratase (AH) stands out of its class as it catalyzes the conversion of acetylene to acetaldehyde, clearly a non-redox reaction and a reaction distinct from the reduction of acetylene to ethylene by nitrogenase. AH harbors two pyranopterins bound to W, and a [4Fe-4S] cluster. W is coordinated by four dithiolene sulfur atoms, one cysteine sulfur, and one oxygen ligand. AH activity requires a strong reductant suggesting W(IV) as the active oxidation state. Two different types of reaction pathways have been proposed. The 1.26 Å structure reveals a water molecule coordinated to W which could gain a partially positive net charge by the adjacent protonated Asp-13, enabling a direct attack of C2H2. To access the W-Asp site, a substrate channel was evolved distant from where it is found in other members of the DMSOR family. Computational studies of this second shell mechanism led to unrealistically high energy barriers, and alternative pathways were proposed where C2H2 binds directly to W. The architecture of the catalytic cavity, the specificity for C2H2 and the results from site-directed mutagenesis do not support this first shell mechanism. More investigations including structural information on the binding of C2H2 are needed to present a conclusive answer.

Abstract
Bioherbicides from plant extracts are an effective and environmentally friendly method to prevent weed growth. The present investigation was aimed at determining the inhibitory effect of bur cucumber seed extracts (BSE) on lettuce plant growth. Bur cucumber seeds were ground with water, and two different concentrations of seed extracts (10% and 20%) were prepared and applied to lettuce plants. Decreased plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, anProd. Type: FTPd leaf area were found in lettuce exposed to BSE as compared with controls. A significant reduction in lettuce biomass was observed in 20% BSE-treated plants due to the presence of higher amounts of phenolic content in the extracts. Moreover, a significant inhibitory chemical, 2-linoleoyl glycerol, was identified in BSE extracts. The mechanism of plant growth inhibition was assayed in lettuce proteins by 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and the LC-MS/MS method. In total, 57 protein spots were detected in plants treated with 20% BSE and control plants. Among these, 39 proteins were down-regulated and 18 proteins were up-regulated in plants exposed to 20% BSE as compared with controls. The presence of low levels of chlorophyll a/b binding protein and oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 1 in BSE-exposed plants reduced photosynthetic pigment synthesis and might be a reason for stunted plant growth. Indeed, the plant-growth stimulating hormone gibberellin was inhibited, and synthesis of stress hormones such as abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid were triggered in lettuce by the effects of BSE. Uptake of essential nutrients, Ca, Fe, Mg, K, S, and Mo, was deficient and accumulation of the toxic ions Cu, Zn, and Na was higher in BSE-treated plants. The results of this study suggest that extracts of bur cucumber seeds can be an effective eco-friendly bioherbicide for weed control that work by inhibiting mechanisms of photosynthesis and regulating phytohormones and nutritional elements.

Abstract
A molybdenum-dithiolene-oxo complex was prepared as a model of some active sites of Mo/W-dependent enzymes. The ligand, a quinoxaline-pyran-fused dithiolene, mimics molybdopterin present in these active sites. For the first time, this type of complex was shown to be active as a catalyst for the photoreduction of protons with excellent turnover numbers (500) and good stability in aqueous/organic media and for the electroreduction of protons in acetonitrile with remarkable rate constants (1030 s(-1) at -1.3 V versus Ag/AgCl). DFT calculations provided insight into the catalytic cycle of the reaction, suggesting that the oxo ligand plays a key role in proton exchange. These results provide a basis to optimize this new class of H2 -evolving catalysts.

Abstract
The transition element molybdenum (Mo) is of primordial importance for biological systems, because it is required by enzymes catalyzing key reactions in the global carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen metabolism. To gain biological activity, Mo has to be complexed by a special cofactor. With the exception of bacterial nitrogenase, all Mo-dependent enzymes contain a unique pyranopterin-based cofactor coordinating a Mo atom at their catalytic site. Various types of reactions are catalyzed by Mo-enzymes in prokaryotes including oxygen atom transfer, sulfur or proton transfer, hydroxylation, or even nonredox reactions. Mo-enzymes are widespread in prokaryotes and many of them were likely present in the Last Universal Common Ancestor. To date, more than 50--mostly bacterial--Mo-enzymes are described in nature. In a few eubacteria and in many archaea, Mo is replaced by tungsten bound to the same unique pyranopterin. How Mo-cofactor is synthesized in bacteria is reviewed as well as the way until its insertion into apo-Mo-enzymes.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) nitrogenase has long been considered the predominant isoenzyme responsible for dinitrogen fixation worldwide. Recent findings have challenged the paradigm of Mo hegemony, and highlighted the role of alternative nitrogenases, such as the vanadium-nitrogenase. Here, we first characterized homeostasis of vanadium (V) along with other metals in situ in the dinitrogen fixing cyanolichen Peltigera aphthosa. These lichens were sampled in natural sites exposed to various levels of atmospheric metal deposition. These results were compared with laboratory experiments where Anabaena variabilis, which is also hosting the V-nitrogenase, and a relatively close relative of the lichen cyanobiont Nostoc, was subjected to various levels of V. We report here that V is preferentially allocated to cephalodia, specialized structures where dinitrogen fixation occurs in tri-membered lichens. This specific allocation is biologically controlled and tightly regulated. Vanadium homeostasis in lichen cephalodia exposed to various V concentrations is comparable to the one observed in Anabaena variabilis and other dinitrogen fixing organisms using V-nitrogenase. Overall, our findings support current hypotheses that V could be a more important factor in mediating nitrogen input in high latitude ecosystems than previously recognized. They invite the reassessment of current theoretical models linking metal dynamics and dinitrogen fixation in boreal and subarctic ecosystems.

Abstract
The transition element molybdenum (Mo) possesses diverse valances (+II to +VI), and is involved in forming cofactors in more than 60 enzymes in biology. Redox switching of the element in these enzymes catalyzes a series of metabolic reactions in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and the element therefore plays a fundamental role in the global carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling. In the present oxygenated waters, oxidized Mo(VI) predominates thermodynamically, whilst reduced Mo species are mainly confined within specific niches including cytoplasm. Only recently has the reduced Mo(V) been separated from Mo(VI) in sulfidic mats and even in some reducing waters. Given the presence of reduced Mo(V) in contemporary anaerobic habitats, it seems that reduced Mo species were present in the ancient reducing ocean (probably under both ferruginous and sulfidic conditions), prompting the involvement of Mo in enzymes including nitrogenase and nitrate reductase. During the global transition to oxic conditions, reduced Mo species were constrained to specific anaerobic habitats, and efficient uptake systems of oxidized Mo(VI) became a selective advantage for current prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Some prokaryotes are still able to directly utilize reduced Mo if any exists in ambient environments. In total, this mini-review describes the redox chemistry and biogeochemistry of Mo over the Earth’s history.

Abstract
To date, no experimental data has been reported for the metallome of hyperthermophilic microorganisms although their metal requirements for growth are known to be unique. Here, experiments were conducted to determine (i) cellular trace metal concentrations of the hyperthermophilic Archaea Methanococcus jannaschii and Pyrococcus furiosus, and (ii) a first estimate of the metallome for these hyperthermophilic species via ICP-MS. The metal contents of these cells were compared to parallel experiments using the mesophilic bacterium Escherichia coli grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Fe and Zn were typically the most abundant metals in cells. Metal concentrations for E. coli grown aerobically decreased in the order Fe > Zn > Cu > Mo > Ni > W > Co. In contrast, M. jannaschii and P. furiosus show almost the reverse pattern with elevated Ni, Co, and W concentrations. Of the three organisms, a biosignature is potentially demonstrated for the methanogen M. jannaschii that may, in part, be related to the metallome requirements of methanogenesis. The bioavailability of trace metals more than likely has varied through time. If hyperthermophiles are very ancient, then the trace metal patterns observed here may begin to provide some insights regarding Earth's earliest cells and in turn, early Earth chemistry.

Abstract
Iron is a ubiquitous element in the universe. Ferrous iron (Fe(II)) was abundant in the primordial ocean until the oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere led to its widespread oxidation and precipitation. This change of iron bioavailability likely put selective pressure on the evolution of life. This element is essential to most extant life forms and is an important cofactor in many redox-active proteins involved in a number of vital pathways. In addition, iron plays a central role in many environments as an energy source for some microorganisms. This review is focused on Fe(II) oxidation. The fact that the ability to oxidize Fe(II) is widely distributed in Bacteria and Archaea and in a number of quite different biotopes suggests that the dissimilatory Fe(II) oxidation is an ancient energy metabolism. Based on what is known today about Fe(II) oxidation pathways, we propose that they arose independently more than once in evolution and evolved convergently. The iron paleochemistry, the phylogeny, the physiology of the iron oxidizers, and the nature of the cofactors of the redox proteins involved in these pathways suggest a possible scenario for the timescale in which each type of Fe(II) oxidation pathways evolved. The nitrate dependent anoxic iron oxidizers are likely the most ancient iron oxidizers. We suggest that the phototrophic anoxic iron oxidizers arose in surface waters after the Archaea/Bacteria-split but before the Great Oxidation Event. The neutrophilic oxic iron oxidizers possibly appeared in microaerobic marine environments prior to the Great Oxidation Event while the acidophilic ones emerged likely after the advent of atmospheric O(2). This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The evolutionary aspects of bioenergetic systems.

Abstract
To determine if long-term equilibration may alleviate molybdenum toxicity, earthworms, enchytraeids, collembolans and four plant species were exposed to three soils freshly spiked with Na(2)MoO(4).2H(2)O and equilibrated for 6 or 11 months in the field with free drainage. Total Mo concentrations in soil decreased by leaching, most (up to 98%) in sandy soil and less (54-62%) in silty and clayey soils. Changes in residual Mo toxicity with time were inconclusive in sandy soil. In the other two soils, toxicity of residual total Mo was significantly reduced after 11 months equilibration with a median 5.5-fold increase in ED50s. Mo fixation in soil, i.e. the decrease of soil solution Mo concentrations at equivalent residual total soil Mo, was maximally a factor of 2.1 only. This experiment shows natural attenuation of molybdate ecotoxicity under field conditions is related to leaching of excess Mo and other ions as well as to slow ageing reactions.

Abstract
An evolutionary tree of key enzymes from the Complex-Iron-Sulfur-Molybdoenzyme (CISM) superfamily distinguishes "ancient" members, i.e. enzymes present already in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) of prokaryotes, from more recently evolved subfamilies. The majority of the presented subfamilies and, as a consequence, the Molybdo-enzyme superfamily as a whole, appear to have existed in LUCA. The results are discussed with respect to the nature of bioenergetic substrates available to early life and to problems arising from the low solubility of molybdenum under conditions of the primordial Earth.

Abstract
Biological nitrogen fixation, the main source of new nitrogen to the Earth's ecosystems, is catalysed by the enzyme nitrogenase. There are three nitrogenase isoenzymes: the Mo-nitrogenase, the V-nitrogenase and the Fe-only nitrogenase. All three types require iron, and two of them also require Mo or V. Metal bioavailability has been shown to limit nitrogen fixation in natural and managed ecosystems. Here, we report the results of a study on the metal (Mo, V, Fe) requirements of Azotobacter vinelandii, a common model soil diazotroph. In the growth medium of A. vinelandii, metals are bound to strong complexing agents (metallophores) excreted by the bacterium. The uptake rates of the metallophore complexes are regulated to meet the bacterial metal requirement for diazotrophy. Under metal-replete conditions Mo, but not V or Fe, is stored intracellularly. Under conditions of metal limitation, intracellular metals are used with remarkable efficiency, with essentially all the cellular Mo and V allocated to the nitrogenase enzymes. While the Mo-nitrogenase, which is the most efficient, is used preferentially, all three nitrogenases contribute to N₂ fixation in the same culture under metal limitation. We conclude that A. vinelandii is well adapted to fix nitrogen in metal-limited soil environments.

Abstract
Mo bioaccumulation in the earthworm Eisenia andrei was determined after 28 d exposure in ten different European field soils (pH 4.4-7.8) and an artificial soil, freshly spiked with Na₂MoO₄ at concentrations between 3.2 and 3200 mg Mo kg⁻¹ dry soil. Three field soils were also tested after ageing for 11 months. Earthworm Mo concentrations generally levelled off at high exposure levels but in most soils showed a (nearly) linear increase with increasing soil concentrations in the lower, non-toxic range (below EC10 or NOEC for reproduction effects). Bioaccumulation (BAF) and Bioconcentration factors (BCF) were calculated as the ratio of earthworm concentration to soil and estimated porewater concentrations, respectively. BAFs (0.35-3.44) and BCFs (1.31-276) did not seem much affected by soil concentration, suggesting that earthworms are not capable of regulating their internal Mo concentrations. BAF was best predicted by ammonium oxalate-extractable iron (Fe(ox)) and phosphor (P(ox)) contents of the soils.

Abstract
Mo toxicity to earthworms (Eisenia andrei), Collembola (Folsomia candida) and enchytraeids (Enchytraeus crypticus) was determined in 10 European soils and a standard artificial soil, freshly spiked with Na(2)MoO(4), after 28 days exposure. Mo affected survival only in three low pH sandy soils; in all other soils LC50 was >3200 mg Mo/kg dry soil. EC50 values for the reproduction toxicity of Mo were 129-2378 mg/kg for earthworms, 72->3396 mg/kg for Collembola, and 301->2820 mg/kg for enchytraeids. Variation in toxicity among soils could not be explained by differences in available (pore water, water and 0.01 M CaCl(2) extractable) Mo concentrations. Clay content best predicted the EC50 for Mo toxicity to earthworms, while toxicity of Mo for enchytraeids was best described by soil pH. For Collembola no relationships could be derived due to the absence of toxicity in most soils. Soil properties had a strong but species-specific effect on Mo toxicity to soil invertebrates.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that toxicity of cationic trace metals in soil is partially confounded by effects of the accompanying anions. A similar assessment is reported here for toxicity of an oxyanion, i.e., molybdate (MoO(4) (2-)), the soil toxicity of which is relatively unexplored. Solubility and toxicity were compared between the soluble sodium molybdate (Na(2)MoO(4)) and the sparingly soluble molybdenum trioxide (MoO(3)). Confounding effects of salinity were excluded by referencing the Na(2)MoO(4) effect to that of sodium chloride (NaCl). The pH decrease from the acid MoO(3) amendment was equally referenced to a hydrochloric (HCl) treatment or a lime-controlled MoO(3) treatment. The concentrations of molybdenum (Mo) in soil solution or calcium chloride (CaCl(2)) 0.01 M extracts were only marginally affected by either MoO(3) or Na(2)MoO(4) as an Mo source after 10 to 13 days of equilibration. Effects of Mo on soil nitrification were fully confounded by associated changes in salinity or pH. Effects of Mo on growth of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L) were more pronounced than those on nitrification, and toxicity thresholds were unaffected by the form of added Mo. The Mo thresholds for wheat growth were not confounded by pH or salinity at incipient toxicity. It is concluded that oxyanion toxicity might be confounded in relatively insensitive tests for which reference treatments should be included.

Abstract
It is widely recognized that the natural isotopic variation of Mo can provide crucial information about the geochemical circulation of Mo, and the ocean is an important reservoir of Mo. To obtain precise isotopic data on Mo in seawater samples using multiple collector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), we have developed a preconcentration technique using 8-hydroxyquinoline bonded covalently to a vinyl polymer resin (TSK-8HQ). By optimizing the procedure, Mo in seawater could be effectively separated from matrix elements such as alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals. With this technique, even with a 50-fold enrichment factor, the changes in the 98Mo/95Mo ratio during preconcentration were smaller than twice the standard deviation (SD) in this study. Mass discrimination of Mo isotopes during the measurement was externally corrected for by normalizing 86Sr/88Sr to 0.1194 using an exponential law. We evaluated delta98/95Mo to a precision of +/- 0.08 per thousand (+/-2 SD); this value was found to be less than one-third of previous reported values. Moreover, we were able to determine an accurate ratio for every pair of stable Mo isotopes, which was impossible with previous methods owing to the isobaric interference from the external elements (Zr and Ru). In this study, delta92/98Mo in seawater was first determined so that it had the smallest relative error. We applied the proposed method to four kinds of seawater samples. The Mo compositions were constant among them, with average delta98/95Mo and delta92/98Mo values of 2.45 +/- 0.11 and -4.94 +/- 0.09 per thousand (+/-2 SD), respectively. Our data indicate that seawater is enriched in heavy Mo isotopes than previously reported.

Abstract
The most crucial function of plant cell is to respond against stress induced for self-defence. This defence is brought about by alteration in the pattern of gene expression: qualitative and quantitative changes in proteins are the result, leading to modulation of certain metabolic and defensive pathways. Abiotic stresses usually cause protein dysfunction. They have an ability to alter the levels of a number of proteins which may be soluble or structural in nature. Nowadays, in higher plants high-throughput protein identification has been made possible along with improved protein extraction, purification protocols and the development of genomic sequence databases for peptide mass matches. Thus, recent proteome analysis performed in the vegetal Kingdom has provided new dimensions to assess the changes in protein types and their expression levels under abiotic stress. As reported in this review, specific and novel proteins, protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications have been identified, which play a role in signal transduction, anti-oxidative defence, anti-freezing, heat shock, metal binding etc. However, beside specific proteins production, plants respond to various stresses in a similar manner by producing heat shock proteins (HSPs), indicating a similarity in the plant's adaptive mechanisms; in plants, more than in animals, HSPs protect cells against many stresses. A relationship between ROS and HSP also seems to exist, corroborating the hypothesis that during the course of evolution, plants were able to achieve a high degree of control over ROS toxicity and are now using ROS as signalling molecules to induce HSPs.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), which have similar chemistry, are present at roughly the same concentration in the earth's continental crust, and both are present in oxic systems as oxoanions, molybdate and tungstate. Molybdenum is a cofactor in the molybdenum-nitrogenase enzyme and is thus an important micronutrient for N2-fixing bacteria such as Azotobacter vinelandii (A. vinelandii). Tungsten is known to be toxic to N2-fixing bacteria, partly by substituting for Mo in nitrogenase. We showthatthe catechol siderophores produced by A. vinelandii, in addition to being essential for iron acquisition, modulate the relative uptake of Mo and W. These catechol siderophores (particularly protochelin), whose concentrations in the growth medium increase sharply at high W, complex all the tungstate along with molybdate and some of the iron. The molybdenum-catechol complex is taken up much more rapidly than the W complex, allowing A. vinelandii to satisfy its Mo requirement and avoid W toxicity. Mutants deficient in the production of catechol siderophores are more sensitive to tungstate and have higher cellular W quotas than the wild type. The binding of metals by excreted catechol siderophores allows A. vinelandii to discriminate in its uptake of essential metals, such as Fe and Mo, over that of toxic metals, such as W, and to sustain high growth rates under adverse environmental conditions.

Role of mammalian cytosolic molybdenum Fe-S flavin hydroxylases in hepatic injury. Life Sci 2008; 82:780-8. [PMID: 18313080 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2008.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2007] [Revised: 10/19/2007] [Accepted: 01/18/2008] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the role of molybdenum iron-sulfur flavin hydroxylases in the pathogenesis of liver injuries induced by structurally and mechanistically diverse hepatotoxicants. While carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), thioacetamide (TAA) and chloroform (CHCl3) inflict liver damage by producing free radicals, acetaminophen (AAP) and bromobenzene (BB) exert their effects by severe glutathione depletion. Appropriate doses of these compounds were administered to induce liver injury in rats. The activities of the Mo-Fe-S flavin hydroxylases were measured and correlated with the biochemical markers of hepatic injury. The activity levels of the anti-oxidative enzymes and glutathione redox cycling enzymes were also determined. The treatment of rats with the hepatotoxins that inflict liver injury by generating free radicals (CCl4, TAA, CHCl3) had elevated activity levels of hepatic Mo-Fe-S flavin hydroxylases (p<0.05). Specific inhibition of these hydroxylases by their common inhibitor, sodium tungstate, suppresses biochemical and oxidative stress markers of hepatic tissue damage. On the contrary, Mo-Fe-S flavin hydroxylases did not show any change in animals receiving AAP and BB. Correspondingly, sodium tungstate could not attenuate damage in AAP and BB treated groups of rats. The study concludes that Mo-Fe-S hydroxylases contribute to the hepatic injury inflicted by free radical generating agents and does not play any role in hepatic injury produced by glutathione depleting agents. The study has implication in understanding human liver diseases caused by a variety of agents, and to investigate the efficacy of the inhibitors of Mo-Fe-S flavin hydroxylases as potential therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Previous treatments of biological evolution have concentrated upon either the general appearance or habits of organisms or the sequences of molecules, such as their proteins and DNA (RNA), within species. There is no consideration of the changing relationship of the chemistry of organisms to the elements and energy available from the environment. In essence, organisms at all times had to accumulate certain elements while rejecting others. Central to accumulation were C, N, H, P, S, K, Mg and Fe while, as ions, Na, Cl, Ca and other heavy metals were largely rejected. In order to form the vital biopolymers, C and H, from CO2 and H2O, had to be combined generating oxygen. The oxygen then slowly oxidized the environment over long periods of time. These environmental changes were relatively rapid, unconstrained and continuous, and they imposed a necessary sequential adaptation by organisms while increasing the use of energy. Then, evolution has a chemical direction in a combined organism/environment ecosystem. Joint organization of the initial reductive chemistry of cells and the later need to handle oxidative chemistry has also forced the complexity of chemistry of organism in compartments. The complexity increased to take full advantage of the environment from bacteria to humans in a logical, physical, compartmental and chemical sequence of the whole system. In one sense, rejected material can be looked upon as waste and, in the context of this article, leads to the consideration of the importance of waste from the activities of humankind.
