Imine Deaminase Activity and Conformational Stability of UK114, the Mammalian Member of the Rid Protein Family Active in Amino Acid Metabolism. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19040945. [PMID: 29565811 PMCID: PMC5979572 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19040945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2018] [Revised: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 03/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Reactive intermediate deaminase (Rid) protein family is a recently discovered group of enzymes that is conserved in all domains of life and is proposed to play a role in the detoxification of reactive enamines/imines. UK114, the mammalian member of RidA subfamily, was identified in the early 90s as a component of perchloric acid-soluble extracts from goat liver and exhibited immunomodulatory properties. Multiple activities were attributed to this protein, but its function is still unclear. This work addressed the question of whether UK114 is a Rid enzyme. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that UK114 hydrolyzes α-imino acids generated by l- or d-amino acid oxidases with a preference for those deriving from Ala > Leu = l-Met > l-Gln, whereas it was poorly active on l-Phe and l-His. Circular Dichroism (CD) analyses of UK114 conformational stability highlighted its remarkable resistance to thermal unfolding, even at high urea concentrations. The half-life of heat inactivation at 95 °C, measured from CD and activity data, was about 3.5 h. The unusual conformational stability of UK114 could be relevant in the frame of a future evaluation of its immunogenic properties. In conclusion, mammalian UK114 proteins are RidA enzymes that may play an important role in metabolism homeostasis also in these organisms.

Abstract
The high prevalence of house dust mite (HDM) allergy is a growing health problem worldwide, and the characterization of clinically important HDM allergens is a prerequisite for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Here, we report a novel HDM allergen that belongs structurally to the highly conserved Rid/YjgF/YER057c/UK114 family (Rid family) with imine deaminase activity. Isolated HDM cDNA, named der f 34, encodes 128 amino acids homologous to Rid-like proteins. This new protein belongs to the Rid family and has seven conserved residues involved in enamine/imine deaminase activity. Indeed, we demonstrated that purified Der f 34 had imine deaminase activity that preferentially acted on leucine and methionine. Native Der f 34 showed a high IgE binding frequency as revealed by two-dimensional immunoblotting (62.5%) or ELISA (68%), which was comparable with those of a major HDM allergen Der f 2 (77.5 and 79%, respectively). We also found that Der f 34 showed cross-reactivity with another prominent indoor allergen source, Aspergillus fumigatus This is the first report showing that the Rid family imine deaminase represents an additional important pan-allergen that is conserved across organisms.

Abstract
Seventeen mutants with one, two or three amino acids substitutions of human protein p14.5, homologue to well-known tumor antigen from goat liver UK114 and a member of proteins YER057c/YIL051c/YjgF family, have been used for structure-functional relation studies and ligand binding analysis using cross-linking by triacryloyl-hexahydro-s-triazine (TAT), size exclusion chromatography, free fatty acid and 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) binding assays. Amino acids having the most significant impact on the ligand binding activity have been determined: R107, N93, Y21 and F89. Arginine 107 has been identified as the most accessible amino acid in the cleft. Trimeric structure of protein p14.5 has been confirmed as being essential for stoichiometric small ligand binding activity and oligomeric structure of p14. Ligand binding activity may be related with the biological functions of these proteins, which still are not understood well.

Abstract
We used differential display analysis of mRNA to investigate the differences between gene expression in wild-type (wt) yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and mutated ones with disrupted activity of genes MMF1 and HMF1, members of the YERO57c/YJGF family. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed to determine the differences in the degree of expression of 14 specific transcripts in normal and mutated yeast cells. Obtained data demonstrate that disruption of genes encoding proteins Mmf1p, Hmf1p (or both of them) result in the correlative variation of expression level of the target 12 genes both in the cells with changed phenotype (mmf1 and mmf1 hmf1) and in the cells retaining w.t. shape and growth rate (wt cells, hmf1). Metabolic processes and cellular pathways have been indicated for Mmf1p and Hmf1p based on the different profiles of the expression of 14 genes in mmf1, hmf1 yeast S. cerevisiae cells.

Abstract
Because perchloric acid-soluble protein (PSP) has been conserved evolutionally in various species from Escherichia coli to humans, it may reflect an involvement in basic cellular regulation. However, the precise function of PSP is currently unknown. In this study, we examined the direct effect of PSP on the production of immunoglobulin (Ig) using human B, HB4C5, NAT-30, and U266 cells because it has been reported that subcutaneous administration of PSP affects rodent immune systems. Suppression of Ig productivity and decrement of the cell viability was recognized only in HB4C5 cells by the addition of PSP into the medium. On the other hand, PSP had no effect on Ig productivity and cell viability in NAT-30 and U266 cells. In addition, PSP was clearly incorporated by HB4C5 but not by the other cells. These results suggest that the Ig production suppressed by PSP, which has been previously reported to inhibit protein synthesis, contributed to the incorporation of PSP into the HB4C5 cells.

Abstract
Differential modulation has been demonstrated in interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-10, and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA and protein secretion patterns of cells isolated from the draining lymph nodes of mice following exposure to T cell and respiratory sensitizers. Using a multiprobe ribonuclease protection assay, the following investigation examined the mRNA expression patterns of multiple cytokines associated with respiratory sensitization for modulation following exposure to chemicals known primarily to induce irritation (sodium lauryl sulfate), respiratory sensitization (toluene diisocyanate), or T cell-mediated hypersensitivity (dinitrofluorobenzene) responses. On days 0 and +5 female BALB/c mice were exposed to either test article or vehicle on the shaven dorsal lumbar region; on days +10 through +12 the mice received test article on the dorsal aspect of each ear. On day +13 animals were euthanized, draining lymph nodes were excised, and mRNA was isolated immediately or following 24 or 48 h of culture in the presence or absence of concanavalin (Con) A. Differential expression of cytokine mRNA was most notable following 24 h incubation with Con A. Modulation of IL-4, -10, and IFN-gamma following chemical exposure was consistent with previous studies. In addition, IL-9, -13, and -15 were significantly elevated only following toluene diisocyanate exposure. Further investigations of these cytokines may provide additional insight into the mechanisms of chemically induced respiratory sensitization and provide endpoints for the detection of a chemical's ability to elicit IgE-mediated hypersensitivity responses.
