[PMID: 37047740 PMCID: PMC10095327 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fish oil replacement with a mixture of vegetable oils and probiotic supplementation on plasma biochemical parameters, oxidative stress, and antioxidant ability of Seriola dumerili. Specimens with an initial weight of 175 g were used. Four feeds were formulated with 0% (FO-100), 75% (FO-25), and 100% (FO-0 and FO-0+ with the addition of Lactobacillus probiotics) substitution of fish oil with a mixture of linseed, sunflower, and palm oils. After 109 days, no significant differences were observed in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver, foregut, and hindgut, only glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the liver was higher in the fish fed the FO-100 diet than in those fed the FO-0 diet. No significant differences were observed in the total, reduced, and oxidized glutathione and the oxidative stress index in the liver. In addition, lipid peroxidation in the liver and red muscle values were higher in the fish fed the FO-100 diet than in the fish fed the FO-0+ diet, however, the foregut of the fish fed the FO-100 diet presented lower values than that of the fish fed the FO replacement diet, with and without probiotics. There were significant differences in cholesterol levels in the FO-100 group; they were significantly higher than those observed with the fish diets without fish oil. To sum up, fish oil can be replaced by up to 25% with vegetable oils in diets for Seriola dumerili juveniles, but total fish oil substitution is not feasible because it causes poor survival. The inclusion of probiotics in the FO-0+ diet had no effects on the parameters measured.

Chromosome engineering of the TCA cycle in Halomonas bluephagenesis for production of copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV). Metab Eng 2019; 54:69-82. [PMID: 30914380 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymben.2019.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 03/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a promising biopolyester with good mechanical properties and biodegradability. Large-scale production of PHBV is still hindered by the high production cost. CRISPR/Cas9 method was used to engineer the TCA cycle in Halomonas bluephagenesis on its chromosome for production of PHBV from glucose as a sole carbon source. Two TCA cycle related genes sdhE and icl encoding succinate dehydrogenase assembly factor 2 and isocitrate lysase were deleted, respectively, in H. bluephagenesis TD08AB containing PHBV synthesis genes on the chromosome, to channel more flux to increase the 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) ratio of PHBV. Due to a poor growth behavior of the mutant strains, H. bluephagenesis TY194 equipped with a medium strength Pporin-194 promoter was selected for further studies. The sdhE and/or icl mutant strains of H. bluephagenesis TY194 were constructed to show enhanced cell growth, PHBV synthesis and 3HV molar ratio. Gluconate was used to activate ED pathway and thus TCA cycle to increase 3HV content. H. bluephagenesis TY194 (ΔsdhEΔicl) was found to synthesize 17mol% 3HV in PHBV. Supported by the synergetic function of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Vitreoscilla hemoglobin encoded by genes ppc and vgb inserted into the chromosome of H. bluephagenesis TY194 (ΔsdhE) serving to enhance TCA cycle activity, a series of strains were generated that could produce PHBV containing 3-18mol% 3HV using glucose as a sole carbon source. Shake flask studies showed that H. bluephagenesis TY194 (ΔsdhE, G7::Pporin-ppc) produced 6.3 g/L cell dry weight (CDW), 65% PHBV in CDW and 25mol% 3HV in PHBV when grown in glucose and gluconate. 25mol% 3HV was the highest reported via chromosomal expression system. PHBV copolymers with different 3HV molar ratios were extracted and characterized. Next-generation industrial biotechnology (NGIB) based on recombinant H. bluephagenesis grown under unsterile and continuous conditions, allows production of P(3HB-0∼25mol% 3HV) in a convenient way with reduced production complexity and cost.

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of Arthrobacter sp. CGMCC 3584 responding to dissolved oxygen for cAMP production. Sci Rep 2018; 8:1246.

Abstract
Arthrobacter sp. CGMCC 3584 is able to produce high yields of extracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which plays a vital role in the field of treatment of disease and animal food, during aerobic fermentation. However, the molecular basis of cAMP production in Arthrobacter species is rarely explored. Here, for the first time, we report the comparative transcriptomic and proteomic study of Arthrobacter cells to elucidate the higher productivity of cAMP under high oxygen supply. We finally obtained 14.1% and 19.3% of the Arthrobacter genome genes which were up-regulated and down-regulated notably, respectively, with high oxygen supply, and identified 54 differently expressed proteins. Our results revealed that high oxygen supply had two major effects on metabolism: inhibition of glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, and amino acid metabolism (histidine, branched-chain amino acids and glutamate metabolism); enhancement of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and purine metabolism. We also found that regulation of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase was not significant under high oxygen supply, suggesting efficient cAMP export might be important in cAMP production. These findings may contribute to further understanding of capacities of Arthrobacter species and would be highly useful in genetic regulation for desirable production.

Abstract
Maslinic acid (MA) is a natural compound whose structure corresponds to a pentacyclic triterpene. It is abundant in the cuticular lipid layer of olives. MA has many biological and therapeutic properties related to health, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antihypertensive, and antioxidant activities. However, no studies have been performed to understand the molecular mechanism induced by this compound in melanoma cancer. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of MA in melanoma (B16F10) cells grown in the presence or absence of fetal bovine serum (FBS). We performed cell proliferation measurements, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurements using dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) and activities of catalase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutathione S-transferase, and superoxide dismutase. These changes were corroborated by expression assays. FBS absence reduced cell viability decreasing IC50 values of MA. The DHR 123 data showed an increase in the ROS level in the absence of FBS. Furthermore, MA had an antioxidant effect at lower assayed levels measured as DHR and antioxidant defense. However, at higher dosages MA induced cellular damage by apoptosis as seen in the results obtained.

Abstract
Living cells are alive and have the butanol-producing ability but not much proliferation under nitrogen source-limited condition. We investigated various butanol production systems with high density of living cells of Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 supplemented with methyl viologen (MV) as an electron carrier and nutrient dosing for activity regeneration. In continuous butanol production with high density of living cells, butanol yield was drastically increased from 0.365 C-mol/C-mol with growing cells to 0.528 C-mol/C-mol at a dilution rate of 0.85 h⁻¹, being increased with the butanol to total solvent ratio. This yield was increased to 0.591 C-mol/C-mol by adding 0.01 mM MV. MV addition increased not only butanol yield but also butanol concentration and productivity as compared to those without MV addition. However, living cells lost their activity with incubation time, which lowered the operational stability of the system. Therefore, to maintain constant stability, activity regeneration was carried out with high density of living cells and MV. This system produced butanol at high concentration (9.40 g l⁻¹) and productivity (7.99 g l⁻¹ h⁻¹) for approximately 100 h with maintenance of considerably high yield of butanol (0.686 C-mol/C-mol). Thus, we established a high-speed and highly efficient butanol production system.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo effects of some antibiotics on human erythrocyte 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were investigated. Human erythrocyte 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was purified with ammonium sulphate precipitation, 2',5' ADP-Sepharose 4B affinity and gel filtration chromatography. Some antibiotics (netilmicin sulphate, cefepime, amikacin, isepamycin, chloramphenicol, ceftazidim, teicoplanin, ampicillin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, penicillin G, gentamicin sulphate, ciprofloxacin) inhibited enzyme activity in vitro but others (cefozin, decefin, streptomycin, combisid, and meronem) were devoid of inhibitory effects. For the drugs having low IC50 values (netilmicin sulphate and cefepime), in vivo studies were performed in rats. Netilmicin sulphate at 15-mg/kg inhibited enzyme activity significantly (p < 0.001) 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h after dosing and cefepime at 200-mg/kg very significantly (p < 0.001) inhibited the enzyme 1 h and 2 h after dosing. Netilmicin sulphate and cefepime inhibited rat erythrocyte 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase both in vivo and in-vitro.

Abstract
Although cellulosic materials of plant origin are the most abundant utilizable biomass resource, the amino acid-producing organism Corynebacterium glutamicum can not utilize these materials. Here we report the engineering of a C. glutamicum strain expressing functional minicellulosomes containing chimeric endoglucanase E bound to miniCbpA from Clostridium cellulovorans that can hydrolyze cellulosic materials. The chimeric endoglucanase E consists of the endoglucanase E catalytic backbone of Clostridium thermocellum fused with the endoglucanase B dockerin domain of C. cellulovorans. The resulting strain degraded cellulose efficiently by substrate targeting via the carbohydrate binding module. The assembly of minicellulosomes increased the activity against carboxymethyl cellulose approximately 2.8-fold compared with that for the corresponding enzymes alone. This is the first report of the formation of Clostridium minicellulosomes by C. glutamicum. The development of C. glutamicum strain that is capable of more effective cellulose hydrolysis brings about a realization of consolidated bioprocessing for the utilization of cellulosic biomass.

Abstract
The current research aims to determine alterations in gene expression and enzymatic activity of fish antioxidant metabolism in response to pesticide administration. To this end, three different deltamethrin concentrations (0.25, 1, 2.5mug/L) were administrated to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at different time intervals (6, 12, 24, 48 and 72h) in order to observe the influences of the pesticide on the activity of glutathione reductase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-ghosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and the expression of Hsp70 gene. We observed that the activities of the enzymes decreased with increasing deltamethrin concentrations and exposure time. The pesticide had more inhibitory effects on gill enzymes than those of muscle, liver and kidney. In addition, we detected that deltamethrin increased the expression of the stress-related protein Hsp70 with significant fold-chance values. The efficiency rate was 96.4% which is equal to 1.96 calculated via conversion formula used to calculate fold-chance value. We conclude that deltamethrin causes oxidative stress in fish both at protein and mRNA levels.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether nicotine affects 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) enzyme activity in some rat tissues, and to see the modulatory effects of vitamin E on this effect in vivo. In addition, the effects of nicotine and vitamin E on 6PGD activity were also tested in vitro. The groups were: nicotine [0.5 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal (i.p.)]; nicotine + vitamin E [75 mg/kg/day, intragastric (i.g.)]; and control group (receiving only vehicles). There were eight rats per group and supplementation period was 3 weeks. The results of in vivo study showed that nicotine activated the muscle, lungs, and testicular 6PGD enzyme activity but had no effect on heart and liver 6PGD activity. Also, nicotine + vitamin E activated the muscle, testicle, and liver 6PGD enzyme activity, while this combination had no effect on heart, and lungs in vivo. When nicotine is administered with vitamin E the increase in 6PGD enzyme activity in muscle and testicles were lower. On the other hand the increase in 6PGD enzyme activity was eliminated by vitamin E in lungs, while 6PGD enzyme activity was increased by vitamin E, which was not affected by nicotine only. In vitro results correlated well with in vivo experimental results. Our results suggest that vitamin E may favourably increase 6PGD enzyme activity in liver in nicotine treated rats, while it has negligible effects on this enzyme activity in other tissues.

Abstract
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive soil bacterium that prefers the simultaneous catabolism of different carbon sources rather than their sequential utilization. This type of metabolism requires an adaptation of the utilization rates to the overall metabolic capacity. Here we show how two functionally redundant GntR-type transcriptional regulators, designated GntR1 and GntR2, co-ordinately regulate gluconate catabolism and glucose uptake. GntR1 and GntR2 strongly repress the genes encoding gluconate permease (gntP), gluconate kinase (gntK), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (gnd) and weakly the pentose phosphate pathway genes organized in the tkt-tal-zwf-opcA-devB cluster. In contrast, ptsG encoding the EII(Glc) permease of the glucose phosphotransferase system (PTS) is activated by GntR1 and GntR2. Gluconate and glucono-delta-lactone interfere with binding of GntR1 and GntR2 to their target promoters, leading to a derepression of the genes involved in gluconate catabolism and reduced ptsG expression. To our knowledge, this is the first example for gluconate-dependent transcriptional control of PTS genes. A mutant lacking both gntR1 and gntR2 shows a 60% lower glucose uptake rate and growth rate than the wild type when cultivated on glucose as sole carbon source. This growth defect can be complemented by plasmid-encoded GntR1 or GntR2.

In mammalians, Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) is clearly related with the daily cycle lipogenesis/lipolysis and therefore with the photoperiod and activity. In fish the temporally changes on the activity of this enzyme have not been described. In this work, annual and diurnal activity of G6PDH was investigated in the liver of Sparus aurata in different seasonal conditions of temperature and photoperiod. During experiment the fish were kept in cages under natural temperature and photoperiod while consuming a commercial diet. The months studied were chosen to establish if there is any influence on the G6PDH activity, because of the change in temperature and photoperiod (equal photoperiod and different temperature, March and October; different photoperiod and equal temperature, May and November; and different photoperiod and temperature, June and January). To study the enzyme activity along the day, the livers of six fish were removed every 3 hr during 24 hr. Annual activity was determined as the average activity during 1 day. Also the annual changes on fat content in muscle and digestive system were studied. The Vmax (maximum velocity) showed seasonal changes in period and phase of the rhythms and for the Km (Michaelis-Menten constant) a period of 24 hr was found in all sampled months, except March, the phase time moves depending on the month. In addition, the annual variations in muscular fat and G6PDH-specific activity seem to be more related to the reproductive stage than any other variable considered.

Abstract
The genes involved in gluconate catabolism (gntP and gntK) in Corynebacterium glutamicum are scattered in the chromosome, and no regulatory genes are apparently associated with them, in contrast with the organization of the gnt operon in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In C. glutamicum, gntP and gntK are essential genes when gluconate is the only carbon and energy source. Both genes contain upstream regulatory regions consisting of a typical promoter and a hypothetical cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP) binding region but lack the expected consensus operator region for binding of the GntR repressor protein. Expression analysis by Northern blotting showed monocistronic transcripts for both genes. The expression of gntP and gntK is not induced by gluconate, and the gnt genes are subject to catabolite repression by sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, as was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). Specific analysis of the DNA promoter sequences (PgntK and PgntP) was performed using bifunctional promoter probe vectors containing mel (involved in melanin production) or egfp2 (encoding a green fluorescent protein derivative) as the reporter gene. Using this approach, we obtained results parallel to those from qRT-PCR. An applied example of in vivo gene expression modulation of the divIVA gene in C. glutamicum is shown, corroborating the possible use of the gnt promoters to control gene expression. glxR (which encodes GlxR, the hypothetical CRP protein) was subcloned from the C. glutamicum chromosomal DNA and overexpressed in corynebacteria; we found that the level of gnt expression was slightly decreased compared to that of the control strains. The purified GlxR protein was used in gel shift mobility assays, and a specific interaction of GlxR with sequences present on PgntP and PgntK fragments was detected only in the presence of cAMP.

Abstract
6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PG) was purified from rat small intestine with 36% yield and a specific activity of 15 U/mg. On SDS/PAGE, one band with a mass of 52 kDa was found. On native PAGE three protein and two activity bands were observed. The pH optimum was 7.35. Using Arrhenius plots, Ea, DeltaH, Q10 and Tm for 6PGD were found to be 7.52 kcal/mol, 6.90 kcal/mol, 1.49 and 49.4 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme obeyed "Rapid Equilibrium Random Bi Bi" kinetic model with Km values of 595 +/- 213 microM for 6PG and 53.03+/-1.99 microM for NADP. 1/Vm versus 1/6PG and 1/NADP plots gave a Vm value of 8.91+/-1.92 U/mg protein. NADPH is the competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 31.91+/-1.31 microM. The relatively small Ki for the 6PGD:NADPH complex indicates the importance of NADPH in the regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway through G6PD and 6PGD.

Abstract
In this study, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.44; 6PGD) was purified from parsley (Petroselinum hortense) leaves, and analysis of the kinetic behavior and some properties of the enzyme were investigated. The purification consisted of three steps that are preparation of homogenate ammonium sulfate fractionation and on DEAE-Sephadex A50 ion exchange. The enzyme was obtained with a yield of 49% and had a specific activity of 18.3 U (mg proteins)(-1) (Lehninger, A.L.; Nelson, D.L.; Cox, M.M. Principles of Biochemistry, 2nd Ed.; Worth Publishers Inc.: N.Y., 2000, 558-560). The overall purification was about 339-fold. A temperature of +4 degrees C was maintained during the purification process. Enzyme activity was spectrophotometrically measured according to the Beutler method at 340 mn. In order to control the purification of the enzyme, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was carried out in 4% and 10% acrylamide for stacking and running gel, respectively. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single band for enzyme. The molecular weight was found to be 97.5 kDa by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography. A protein band corresponding to a subunit molecular weight of 24.1 kDa was obtained on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. For the enzymes, the stable pH, optimum pH, and optimum temperature were found as 8.0, 8.0, and 50 degrees C, respectively. In addition, KM and Vmax values for NADP+ and G6-P at optimum pH and 25 degrees C were determined by means of Lineweaver-Burk plots.
