Abstract
Glutathione transferases are xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes with both glutathione-conjugation and ligandin roles. GSTs are present in chemosensory tissues and fluids of the nasal/oral cavities where they protect tissues from exogenous compounds, including food molecules. In the present study, we explored the presence of the omega-class glutathione transferase (GSTO1) in the rat oral cavity. Using immunohistochemistry, GSTO1 expression was found in taste bud cells of the tongue epithelium and buccal cells of the oral epithelium. Buccal and lingual extracts exhibited thiol-transferase activity (4.9 ± 0.1 and 1.8 ± 0.1 μM/s/mg, respectively). A slight reduction from 4.9 ± 0.1 to 4.2 ± 0.1 μM/s/mg (p < 0.05; Student's t test) was observed in the buccal extract with 100 μM GSTO1-IN-1, a specific inhibitor of GSTO1. RnGSTO1 exhibited the usual activities of omega GSTs, i.e., thiol-transferase (catalytic efficiency of 8.9 × 104 M-1·s-1), and phenacyl-glutathione reductase (catalytic efficiency of 8.9 × 105 M-1·s-1) activities, similar to human GSTO1. RnGSTO1 interacts with food phytochemicals, including bitter compounds such as luteolin (Ki = 3.3 ± 1.9 μM). Crystal structure analysis suggests that luteolin most probably binds to RnGSTO1 ligandin site. Our results suggest that GSTO1 could interact with food phytochemicals in the oral cavity.

Abstract
During labor, monocytes infiltrate massively the myometrium and differentiate into macrophages secreting high levels of reactive oxygen species and of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-1β), leading to myometrial contraction. Although IL-1β is clearly implicated in labor, its function and that of the inflammasome complex that cleaves the cytokine in its active form, has never been studied on steps preceding contraction. In this work, we used our model of lipopolysaccharide-induced preterm labor to highlight their role. We demonstrated that IL-1β was secreted by the human myometrium during labor or in presence of infection and was essential for myometrial efficient contractions as its blockage with an IL-1 receptor antagonist (Anakinra) or a neutralizing antibody completely inhibited the induced contractions. We evaluated the implication of the inflammasome on myometrial contractions and differentiation stages of labor onset. We showed that the effects of macrophage-released IL-1β in myometrial cell transactivation were blocked by inhibition of the inflammasome, suggesting that the inflammasome by producing IL-1β was essential in macrophage/myocyte crosstalk during labor. These findings provide novel innovative approaches in the management of preterm labor, specifically the use of an inflammasome inhibitor to block the precursor stages of labor before the acquisition of the contractile phenotype.

Abstract
The mucosal pellicle (MP) is a biological film protecting the oral mucosa. It is composed of bounded salivary proteins and transmembrane mucin MUC1 expressed by oral epithelial cells. Previous research indicates that MUC1 expression enhances the binding of the main salivary protein forming the MP, MUC5B. This study investigated the influence of MUC1 structure on MP formation. A TR146 cell line, which does not express MUC1 natively, was stably transfected with genes coding for three MUC1 isoforms differing in the structure of the two main extracellular domains: the VNTR domain, exhibiting a variable number of tandem repeats, and the SEA domain, maintaining the two bound subunits of MUC1. Semi-quantification of MUC1 using dot blot chemiluminescence showed comparable expression levels in all transfected cell lines. Semi-quantification of MUC5B by immunostaining after incubation with saliva revealed that MUC1 expression significantly increased MUC5B adsorption. Neither the VNTR domain nor the SEA domain was influenced MUC5B anchoring, suggesting the key role of the MUC1 N-terminal domain. AFM-IR nanospectroscopy revealed discernible shifts indicative of changes in the chemical properties at the cell surface due to the expression of the MUC1 isoform. Furthermore, the observed chemical shifts suggest the involvement of hydrophobic effects in the interaction between MUC1 and salivary proteins.

Abstract
Aroma is among of the most important criteria that indicate the quality of food and beverage products. Aroma compounds can be found as free molecules or glycosides. Notably, a significant portion of aroma precursors accumulates in numerous food products as nonvolatile and flavorless glycoconjugates, termed glycosidic aroma precursors. When subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis, these seemingly inert, nonvolatile glycosides undergo transformation into fragrant volatiles or volatiles that can generate odor-active compounds during food processing. In this context, microbial β-glucosidases play a pivotal role in enhancing or compromising the development of flavors during food and beverage processing. β-glucosidases derived from bacteria and yeast can be utilized to modulate the concentration of particular aroma and taste compounds, such as bitterness, which can be decreased through hydrolysis by glycosidases. Furthermore, oral microbiota can influence flavor perception by releasing volatile compounds that can enhance or alter the perception of food products. In this review, considering the glycosidic flavor precursors present in diverse food and beverage products, we underscore the significance of glycosidases with various origins. Subsequently, we delve into emerging insights regarding the release of aroma within the human oral cavity due to the activity of oral microbial glycosidases.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GST) are detoxification enzymes that conjugate glutathione to a wide array of molecules. In the honey bee Apis mellifera, AmGSTD1 is the sole member of the delta class of GSTs, with expression in antennae. Here, we structurally and biochemically characterized AmGSTD1 to elucidate its function. We showed that AmGSTD1 can efficiently catalyse the glutathione conjugation of classical GST substrates. Additionally, AmGSTD1 exhibits binding properties with a range of odorant compounds. AmGSTD1 has a peculiar interface with a structural motif we propose to call 'sulfur sandwich'. This motif consists of a cysteine disulfide bridge sandwiched between the sulfur atoms of two methionine residues and is stabilized by CH…S hydrogen bonds and S…S sigma-hole interactions. Thermal stability studies confirmed that this motif is important for AmGSTD1 stability and, thus, could facilitate its functions in olfaction.

Abstract
Olfaction is a multi-step process. At a peripheral level, nasal odorant metabolism contributes to olfaction via signal termination, variation, and regulation. We summarize current techniques used to investigate nasal odorant metabolism and give an outlook on future approaches, such as nasal tissue models and their potential contributions in future research directions.

Abstract
To cope with environmental stresses, bacteria have developed different strategies, including the production of small heat shock proteins (sHSP). All sHSPs are described for their role as molecular chaperones. Some of them, like the Lo18 protein synthesized by Oenococcus oeni, also have the particularity of acting as a lipochaperon to maintain membrane fluidity in its optimal state following cellular stresses. Lipochaperon activity is poorly characterized and very little information is available on the domains or amino-acids key to this activity. The aim in this paper is to investigate the importance at the protein structure and function level of four highly conserved residues in sHSP exhibiting lipochaperon activity. Thus, by combining in silico, in vitro and in vivo approaches the importance of three amino-acids present in the core of the protein was shown to maintain both the structure of Lo18 and its functions.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are major enzymes of xenobiotic metabolism. Consequently, they are essential in the chemoprotection of the human body. Many xenobiotic metabolism enzymes have been shown to be involved in chemosensory tissue protection. Among them, some were additionally shown to be involved in chemosensory perception, acting in signal termination as well as in the generation of metabolites that change the activation pattern of chemosensory receptors. Oxidoreductases, especially aldehyde dehydrogenases and aldo-keto reductases, are the first barrier against aldehyde compounds, which include numerous odorants. Using a mass spectrometry approach, we characterized the most highly expressed members of these families in the human nasal mucus sampled in the olfactory vicinity. Their expression was also demonstrated using immunohistochemistry in human epitheliums sampled in the olfactory vicinity. Recombinant enzymes corresponding to three highly expressed human oxidoreductases (ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, AKR1B10) were used to demonstrate the high enzymatic activity of these enzymes toward aldehyde odorants. The structure‒function relationship set based on the enzymatic parameters characterization of a series of aldehyde odorant compounds was supported by the X-ray structure resolution of human ALDH3A1 in complex with octanal.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases are detoxification enzymes with multifaceted roles, including a role in the metabolism and scavenging of nitric oxide (NO) compounds in cells. Here, we explored the ability of Trametes versicolor glutathione transferases (GSTs) from the Omega class (TvGSTOs) to bind metal-nitrosyl compounds. TvGSTOs have been studied previously for their ligandin role and are interesting models to study protein‒ligand interactions. First, we determined the X-ray structure of the TvGSTO3S isoform bound to the dinitrosyl glutathionyl iron complex (DNGIC), a physiological compound involved in the storage of nitric oxide. Our results suggested a different binding mode compared to the one previously described in human GST Pi 1 (GSTP1). Then, we investigated the manner in which TvGSTO3S binds three nonphysiological metal-nitrosyl compounds with different metal cores (iron, ruthenium and osmium). We assayed sodium nitroprusside, a well-studied vasodilator used in cases of hypertensive crises or heart failure. Our results showed that the tested GST can bind metal-nitrosyls at two distinct binding sites. Thermal shift analysis with six isoforms of TvGSTOs identified TvGSTO6S as the best interactant. Using the Griess method, TvGSTO6S was found to improve the release of nitric oxide from sodium nitroprusside in vitro, whereas the effects of human GST alpha 1 (GSTA1) and GSTP1 were moderate. Our results open new structural perspectives for understanding the interactions of glutathione transferases with metal-nitrosyl compounds associated with the biochemical mechanisms of NO uptake/release in biological systems.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous key enzymes with different activities as transferases or isomerases. As key detoxifying enzymes, GSTs are expressed in the chemosensory organs. They fulfill an essential protective role because the chemosensory organs are located in the main entry paths of exogenous compounds within the body. In addition to this protective function, they modulate the perception process by metabolizing exogenous molecules, including tastants and odorants. Chemosensory detection involves the interaction of chemosensory molecules with receptors. GST contributes to signal termination by metabolizing these molecules. By reducing the concentration of chemosensory molecules before receptor binding, GST modulates receptor activation and, therefore, the perception of these molecules. The balance of chemoperception by GSTs has been shown in insects as well as in mammals, although their chemosensory systems are not evolutionarily connected. This review will provide knowledge supporting the involvement of GSTs in chemoperception, describing their localization in these systems as well as their enzymatic capacity toward odorants, sapid molecules, and pheromones in insects and mammals. Their different roles in chemosensory organs will be discussed in light of the evolutionary advantage of the coupling of the detoxification system and chemosensory system through GSTs.

Abstract
The molecules that elicit taste sensation are perceived by interacting with the taste receptors located in the taste buds. Enzymes involved in the detoxification processes are found in saliva as well as in type II cells, where taste receptors, including bitter taste receptors, are located. These enzymes are known to interact with a large panel of molecules. To explore a possible link between these enzymes and bitter taste perception, we demonstrate that salivary glutathione transferases (GSTA1 and GSTP1) can metabolize bitter molecules. To support these abilities, we solve three X-ray structures of these enzymes in complexes with isothiocyanates. Salivary GSTA1 and GSTP1 are expressed in a large panel of subjects. Additionally, GSTA1 levels in the saliva of people suffering from taste disorders are significantly lower than those in the saliva of the control group.

Abstract
Flavor perception is a key factor in the acceptance or rejection of food. Aroma precursors such as cysteine conjugates are present in various plant-based foods and are metabolized into odorant thiols in the oral cavity. To date, the involved enzymes are unknown, despite previous studies pointing out the likely involvement of carbon-sulfur lyases (C-S lyases) from the oral microbiota. In this study, we show that saliva metabolizes allyl-cysteine into odorant thiol metabolites, with evidence suggesting that microbial pyridoxal phosphate-dependent C-S lyases are involved in the enzymatic process. A phylogenetic analysis of PatB C-S lyase sequences in four oral subspecies of Fusobacterium nucleatum was carried out and led to the identification of several putative targets. FnaPatB1 from F. nucleatum subspecies animalis, a putative C-S lyase, was characterized and showed high activity with a range of cysteine conjugates. Enzymatic and X-ray crystallographic data showed that FnaPatB1 metabolizes cysteine derivatives within a unique active site environment that enables the formation of flavor sulfur compounds. Using an enzymatic screen with a library of pure compounds, we identified several inhibitors able to reduce the C-S lyase activity of FnaPatB1 in vitro, which paves the way for controlling the release of odorant sulfur compounds from their cysteine precursors in the oral cavity.

Abstract
The human sweet taste receptor is a heterodimeric receptor composed of two distinct G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. The TAS1R2 and TAS1R3 subunits are members of a small family of class C GPCRs whose members share the same architecture, comprising a Venus Flytrap (VFT) module linked to the seven transmembrane domains (TMDs) by a short cysteine-rich region (CRR). The VFT module of TAS1R2 contains the primary binding site for most of the sweet-tasting compounds, including natural sugars and artificial and natural sweeteners. However, cellular assays, molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis studies have revealed that the VFT, CRR and TMD of TAS1R3 interact with some sweeteners, including the sweet-tasting protein brazzein. The aim of this study was to better understand the contribution of TAS1R2-VFT in the binding of sweet stimuli. To achieve this, we heterologously expressed human TAS1R2-VFT (hTAS1R2-VFT) in Escherichia coli. Circular dichroism spectroscopic studies revealed that hTAS1R2-VFT was properly folded with evidence of secondary structures. Using size-exclusion chromatography coupled with light scattering, we found that hTAS1R2-VFT behaves as a monomer. Ligand binding quantified by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence showed that hTAS1R2-VFT is capable of binding sweet stimuli with Kd values, in agreement with physiological detection. Furthermore, we investigated whether the impact of point mutations, already shown to have deleterious effects on cellular assays, could impact the ability of hTAS1R2-VFT to bind sweet ligands. As expected, the ligand affinities of hTAS1R2-VFT were drastically reduced through the introduction of single amino acid substitutions (D278A and E382A) known to abolish the response of the full-length TAS1R2/TAS1R3 receptor. This study demonstrates the feasibility of producing milligram quantities of hTAS1R2-VFT to further characterize the mechanism of binding interaction and perform structural studies.

Abstract
Within the peripheral olfactory process, odorant metabolizing enzymes are involved in the active biotransformation of odorants, thus influencing the intensity and quality of the signal, but little evidence exists in humans. Here, we characterized the fast nasal metabolism of the food aroma pentane-2,3-dione in vivo and identified two resulting metabolites in the nasal-exhaled air, supporting the metabolizing role of the dicarbonyl/l-xylulose reductase. We showed in vitro, using the recombinant enzyme, that pentane-2,3-dione metabolism was inhibited by a second odorant (e.g., butanoic acid) according to an odorant-odorant competitive metabolic mechanism. Hypothesizing that such mechanism exists in vivo, pentane-2,3-dione, presented with a competitive odorant, both at subthreshold concentrations, was actually significantly perceived, suggesting an increase in its nasal availability. Our results, suggesting that odorant metabolizing enzymes can balance the relative detection of odorants in a mixture, in turn influencing the intensity of the signal, should be considered to better manage flavor perception in food.

Abstract
Addition of oenological tannins claims to have a positive impact on wine stability, protection from oxidation and likely sensory persistence. However, their role on red wine aroma during oxidation is controversial. The present study aims at investigating the effect of addition of oenological tannins on wine flavour (mainly aroma) before and after air exposure. Temporal Dominance of Sensations, a dynamic sensory evaluation, was coupled with a dynamic chemical measurement (nosespace analysis) using a Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass-Spectrometer connected to the nasal cavity of 17 assessors. Results showed that the oxidation of a non-oaked Pinot Noir red wine decreases the fruity aroma dominance and increases the maderised and prune one. A contextual decrease of the fruity ethyl decanoate and increase of oxidative Strecker aldehydes are observed. Ellagitannins but not proanthocyanidins preserved perception of fruitiness and prevented increase of maderised notes. Moreover, ellagitannins increase the aroma persistence mainly in the non-oxidized wine.

Abstract
Maternal obesity is associated with a wide spectrum of labour disorders, including preterm birth. Leptin, a pro-inflammatory adipokine and a key factor of obesity, is suspected to play a major role in these disorders. OB-R, its receptor, is expressed on macrophages and myocytes, two cell types critical for labour onset. Macrophages secrete reactive oxygen species/pro-inflammatory cytokines, responsible for myometrial differentiation while myocytes control uterine contractions. In this study, we assessed the effect of leptin on myometrial contraction and differentiation using our validated co-culture model of human primary macrophages and myocytes. We demonstrated that leptin had a different effect on myocytes and macrophages depending on the dose. A low leptin concentration induced a tocolytic effect by preventing myocytes’ contraction, differentiation, and macrophage-induced ROS production. Additionally, leptin led to an increase in HLA-G expression, suggesting that the tocolytic effect of leptin may be driven by HLA-G, a tolerogenic molecule. Finally, we observed that recombinant HLA-G also prevented LPS-induced ROS production by macrophages. Altogether, these data provide a putative molecular mechanism by which leptin may induce immune tolerance and therefore interfere with labour-associated mechanisms. Therefore, HLA-G represents a potential innovative therapeutic target in the pharmacological management of preterm labour.

Abstract
The oral cavity is an entry path into the body, enabling the intake of nutrients but also leading to the ingestion of harmful substances. Thus, saliva and oral tissues contain enzyme systems that enable the early neutralization of xenobiotics as soon as they enter the body. Based on recently published oral proteomic data from several research groups, this review identifies and compiles the primary detoxification enzymes (also known as xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes) present in saliva and the oral epithelium. The functions and the metabolic activity of these enzymes are presented. Then, the activity of these enzymes in saliva, which is an extracellular fluid, is discussed with regard to the salivary parameters. The next part of the review presents research evidencing oral metabolization of aroma compounds and the putative involved enzymes. The last part discusses the potential role of these enzymatic reactions on the perception of aroma compounds in light of recent pieces of evidence of in vivo oral metabolization of aroma compounds affecting their release in mouth and their perception. Thus, this review highlights different enzymes appearing as relevant to explain aroma metabolism in the oral cavity. It also points out that further works are needed to unravel the effect of the oral enzymatic detoxification system on the perception of food flavor in the context of the consumption of complex food matrices, while considering the impact of food oral processing. Thus, it constitutes a basis to explore these biochemical mechanisms and their impact on flavor perception.

Abstract
At labor, the myometrium is infiltrated by a massive influx of macrophages that secrete high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines inducing the expression of specific labor-associated markers. However, the interactions between myocytes and macrophages and the role of macrophages in the myometrium at labor remain to be elucidated. In this work, we studied the role of myometrium-infiltrated macrophages and their interaction with myocytes in lipopolysaccharide-induced preterm labor. A co-culture model of human primary myometrial cells and macrophages was developed and validated. Collagen lattices were used to evaluate myocyte contraction. Differentiation steps were assessed by (i) phalloidin and vinculin staining for cytoskeleton reorganization, (ii) gap junction protein alpha 1 expression and scrape loading/dye transfer with Lucifer Yellow for gap junction intercellular communication, and (iii) calcium imaging for cell excitability. We demonstrated that macrophages favored lipopolysaccharide-induced contraction and early differentiation of myometrial cells. Transwell assays showed that previous activation of macrophages by lipopolysaccharide was essential for this differentiation and that macrophage/myocyte interactions involved macrophage release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The effects of macrophage-released ROS in myometrial cell transactivation were mimicked by H2O2, suggesting that superoxide anion is a major intermediate messenger in macrophage/myocyte crosstalk during labor. These novel findings provide the foundation for innovative approaches to managing preterm labor, specifically the use of antioxidants to inhibit the initial stages of labor before the contractile phenotype has been acquired. In addition, the co-culture model developed by our team could be used in future research to decipher pathophysiological signaling pathways or screen/develop new tocolytics.

Abstract
Flavor perception during food intake is one of the main drivers of food acceptability and consumption. Recent studies have pointed to the oral microbiota as an important factor modulating flavor perception. This review introduces general characteristics of the oral microbiota, factors potentially influencing its composition, as well as known relationships between oral microbiota and chemosensory perception. We also review diverse evidenced mechanisms enabling the modulation of chemosensory perception by the microbiota. They include modulation of the chemosensory receptors activation by microbial metabolites but also modification of receptors expression. Specific enzymatic reactions catalyzed by oral microorganisms generate fragrant molecules from aroma precursors in the mouth. Interestingly, these reactions also occur during the processing of fermented beverages, such as wine and beer. In this context, two groups of aroma precursors are presented and discussed, namely, glycoside conjugates and cysteine conjugates, which can generate aroma compounds both in fermented beverages and in the mouth. The two entailed families of enzymes, i.e., glycosidases and carbon-sulfur lyases, appear to be promising targets to understand the complexity of flavor perception in the mouth as well as potential biotechnological tools for flavor enhancement or production of specific flavor compounds.

Abstract
The scarcity of transcriptional regulatory genes in Buchnera aphidicola, an obligate endosymbiont in aphids, suggests the stability of expressed gene patterns and metabolic pathways. This observation argues in favor of the hypothesis that this endosymbiont bacteria might contribute little to the host adaptation when aphid hosts are facing challenging fluctuating environment. Finding evidence for the increased expression or silenced genes involved in metabolic pathways under the pressure of stress conditions and/or a given environment has been challenging for experimenters with this bacterial symbiotic model. Transcriptomic data have shown that Buchnera gene expression changes are confined to a narrow range when the aphids face brutal environmental variations. In this report, we demonstrate that instead of manipulating individual genes, the conditions may act on the relative mass of endosymbiont corresponding to the needs of the host. The control of the fluctuating number of endosymbiont cells per individual host appears to be an unexpected regulatory modality that contributes to the adaptation of aphids to their environment. This feature may account for the success of the symbiotic advantages in overcoming the drastic changes in temperature and food supplies during evolution.

Abstract
Xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and other proteins, including odorant-binding proteins located in the nasal epithelium and mucus, participate in a series of processes modulating the concentration of odorants in the environment of olfactory receptors (ORs) and finely impact odor perception. These enzymes and transporters are thought to participate in odorant degradation or transport. Odorant biotransformation results in 1) changes in the odorant quantity up to their clearance and the termination of signaling and 2) the formation of new odorant stimuli (metabolites). Enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 and glutathione transferases (GSTs), have been proposed to participate in odorant clearance in insects and mammals as odorant metabolizing enzymes. This study aims to explore the function of GSTs in human olfaction. Using immunohistochemical methods, GSTs were found to be localized in human tissues surrounding the olfactory epithelium. Then, the activity of 2 members of the GST family toward odorants was measured using heterologously expressed enzymes. The interactions/reactions with odorants were further characterized using a combination of enzymatic techniques. Furthermore, the structure of the complex between human GSTA1 and the glutathione conjugate of an odorant was determined by X-ray crystallography. Our results strongly suggest the role of human GSTs in the modulation of odorant availability to ORs in the peripheral olfactory process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously showed that supernatants of Lactobacillus biofilms induced an anti-inflammatory response by affecting the secretion of macrophage-derived cytokines, which was abrogated upon immunodepletion of the stress protein GroEL. METHODS We purified GroEL from L. reuteri and analysed its anti-inflammatory properties in vitro in human macrophages isolated from buffy coats, ex vivo in explants from human biopsies and in vivo in a mouse model of DSS induced intestinal inflammation. As a control, we used GroEL purified (LPS-free) from E. coli. RESULTS We found that L. reuteri GroEL (but not E. coli GroEL) inhibited pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages markers, and favored M2-like markers. Consequently, L. reuteri GroEL inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IFNγ) while favouring an anti-inflammatory secretome. In colon tissues from human biopsies, L. reuteri GroEL was also able to decrease markers of inflammation and apoptosis (caspase 3) induced by LPS. In mice, we found that rectal administration of L. reuteri GroEL (but not E. coli GroEL) inhibited all signs of haemorrhagic colitis induced by DSS including intestinal mucosa degradation, rectal bleeding and weight loss. It also decreased intestinal production of inflammatory cytokines (such as IFNγ) while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 and IL-13. These effects were suppressed when animals were immunodepleted in macrophages. From a mechanistic point of view, the effect of L. reuteri GroEL seemed to involve TLR4, since it was lost in TRL4-/- mice, and the activation of a non-canonical TLR4 pathway. CONCLUSIONS L. reuteri GroEL, by affecting macrophage inflammatory features, deserves to be explored as an alternative to probiotics.

Abstract
Flavor is one of the main drivers of food consumption and acceptability. It is associated with pleasure feels during eating. Flavor is a multimodal perception corresponding to the functional integration of information from the chemical senses: olfaction, gustation, and nasal and oral somatosensory inputs. As a result, astringency, as a sensation mediated by the trigeminal nerves, influences food flavor. Despite the importance of astringency in food consumer acceptance, the exact chemosensory mechanism of its detection and the nature of the receptors activated remain unknown. Herein, after reviewing the current hypotheses on the molecular origin of astringency, we proposed a ground-breaking hypothesis on the molecular mechanisms underpinning this sensation as a perspective for future research.

Abstract
Odorant metabolizing enzymes (OMEs) are expressed in the olfactory epithelium (OE) where they play a significant role in the peripheral olfactory process by catalyzing the fast biotransformation of odorants leading either to their elimination or to the synthesis of new odorant stimuli. The large family of OMEs gathers different classes which interact with a myriad of odorants alike and complementary to olfactory receptors. Thus, it is necessary to increase our knowledge on OMEs to better understand their function in the physiological process of olfaction. This study focused on a major olfactory UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT): UGT2A1. Immunohistochemistry and immunogold electronic microscopy allowed to localize its expression in the apical part of the sustentacular cells and originally at the plasma membrane of the olfactory cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons, both locations in close vicinity with olfactory receptors. Moreover, using electroolfactogram, we showed that a treatment of the OE with beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme which counterbalance the UGTs activity, increased the response to eugenol which is a strong odorant UGT substrate. Altogether, the results supported the function of the olfactory UGTs in the vertebrate olfactory perireceptor process.

Abstract
The presence of an inactivating heat shock protein 110 (HSP110) mutation in colorectal cancers has been correlated with an excellent prognosis and with the ability of HSP110 to favor the formation of tolerogenic (M2-like) macrophages. These clinical and experimental results suggest a potentially powerful new strategy against colorectal cancer: the inhibition of HSP110. In this work, as an alternative to neutralizing antibodies, Nanofitins (scaffold ~7 kDa proteins) targeting HSP110 were isolated from the screening of a synthetic Nanofitin library, and their capacity to bind (immunoprecipitation, biolayer interferometry) and to inhibit HSP110 was analyzed in vitro and in vivo. Three Nanofitins were found to inhibit HSP110 chaperone activity. Interestingly, they share a high degree of homology in their variable domain and target the peptide-binding domain of HSP110. In vitro, they inhibited the ability of HSP110 to favor M2-like macrophages. The Nanofitin with the highest affinity, A-C2, was studied in the CT26 colorectal cancer mice model. Our PET/scan experiments demonstrate that A-C2 may be localized within the tumor area, in accordance with the reported HSP110 abundance in the tumor microenvironment. A-C2 treatment reduced tumor growth and was associated with an increase in immune cells infiltrating the tumor and particularly cytotoxic macrophages. These results were confirmed in a chicken chorioallantoic membrane tumor model. Finally, we showed the complementarity between A-C2 and an anti-PD-L1 strategy in the in vivo and in ovo tumor models. Overall, Nanofitins appear to be promising new immunotherapeutic lead compounds.

Abstract
The mouth is the gateway for entrance of food and microorganisms into the organism. The oral cavity is bathed by saliva, which is thus the first fluid that food and microorganisms will face after their entrance. As a result, saliva plays different functions, including lubrication, predigestion, protection, detoxification, and even transport of taste compounds to chemoreceptors located in the taste buds. To ensure its function of protection, saliva contains reactive harmful compounds such as reactive oxygen species that are controlled and neutralized by the antioxidant activity of saliva. Several antioxidant molecules control the production of molecules such as reactive oxygen compounds, neutralize them and/or repair the damage they have caused. Therefore, a balance between reactive oxidant species and antioxidant compounds exists. At the same time, food can also contain antioxidant compounds, which can participate in the equilibrium of this balance. Numerous studies have investigated the effects of different food components on the antioxidant capacity of saliva that correspond to the ability of saliva to neutralize reactive oxygen species. Contradictory results have sometimes been obtained. Moreover, some antioxidant compounds are also cofactors of enzymatic reactions that affect flavor compounds. Recent studies have considered the salivary antioxidant capacity to explain the release of flavor compounds ex vivo or in vivo. This article aims to review the effect of food on the antioxidant capacity of saliva and the impact of salivary antioxidant capacity on flavor perception after a brief presentation of the different molecules involved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the pilot study was to explore which of the salivary parameters best reflects improvement or deterioration of taste function. METHODS A total of 14 patients were included. Taste ability was measured using taste strips and patients rated their symptom strength using visual analogue scales. Salivary parameters (flow rate, total proteins, proteolysis, catalase, total anti-oxidative capacity [TAC], carbonic anhydrase VI [caVI], and pH) were determined and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered. All these parameters were measured twice with a one-year interval to acquire the changes of data. RESULTS Patients with decreased taste function exhibited a decrease in salivary proteolysis and caVI, and an increase in salivary total protein. Patients with increased taste function also showed an increase in salivary total protein. Δ Salivary flow rate was negatively correlated with Δ taste strip scores. Δ Salivary pH was significantly lower in patients with increased taste function compared to patients with decreased taste function. Δ BDI was positively correlated with both Δ symptoms ratings. Across all patients, symptom ratings decreased while salivary total protein increased; salivary flow rate, proteolysis and caVI decreased significantly compared with baseline. CONCLUSIONS The present longitudinal results suggest that changes of both taste function and taste complaints were accompanied by changes in salivary parameters, indicating that salivary parameters have the potential to be useful in the diagnosis of patients with qualitative taste disorders.

Abstract
Brazzein is a small sweet-tasting protein found in the red berries of a West African evergreen shrub, Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon. Brazzein is highly soluble and stable over a large pH range and at high temperatures, which are characteristics that suggest its use as a natural sweetener. However, Pentadiplandra brazzeana culture is difficult at a large scale, limiting the natural source of brazzein. Heterologous expression of brazzein has been established in numerous systems, including bacteria, yeast, and transgenic plants. Brazzein requires four disulfide bonds to be active in eliciting an intense sweet taste, and the yeast Pichia pastoris appears to be one of the best options for obtaining functional brazzein in high quantities. Employing yeast secretion in the culture medium allows us to obtain fully active brazzein and facilitate purification later. To increase yeast secretion, we compared seven different signal peptides to successfully achieve brazzein secretion using the yeast P. pastoris. The brazzein proteins corresponding to these signal peptides elicited activation of the sweet taste receptor functionally expressed in a cellular assay. Among these tested signal peptides, three resulted in the secretion of brazzein at high levels.

Abstract
In this work, we have explored natural unmodified low- and high-density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL, respectively) as selective delivery vectors in colorectal cancer therapy. We show in vitro in cultured cells and in vivo (NanoSPECT/CT) in the CT-26 mice colorectal cancer model that LDLs are mainly taken up by cancer cells, while HDLs are preferentially taken up by macrophages. We loaded LDLs with cisplatin and HDLs with the heat shock protein-70 inhibitor AC1LINNC, turning them into a pair of “Trojan horses” delivering drugs selectively to their target cells as demonstrated in vitro in human colorectal cancer cells and macrophages, and in vivo. Coupling of the drugs to lipoproteins and stability was assessed by mass spectometry and raman spectrometry analysis. Cisplatin vectorized in LDLs led to better tumor growth suppression with strongly reduced adverse effects such as renal or liver toxicity. AC1LINNC vectorized into HDLs induced a strong oxidative burst in macrophages and innate anticancer immune response. Cumulative antitumor effect was observed for both drug-loaded lipoproteins. Altogether, our data show that lipoproteins from patient blood can be used as natural nanocarriers allowing cell-specific targeting, paving the way toward more efficient, safer, and personalized use of chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs in cancer.

Abstract
Thermal protein unfolding resembles a global (two-state) phase transition. At the local scale, protein unfolding is, however, heterogeneous and probe dependent. Here, we consider local order parameters defined by the local curvature and torsion of the protein main chain. Because chemical shifts (CS's) measured by NMR spectroscopy are extremely sensitive to the local atomic environment, CS has served as a local probe of thermal unfolding of proteins by varying the position of the atomic isotope along the amino acid sequence. The variation of the CS of each Cα atom along the sequence as a function of the temperature defines a local heat-induced denaturation curve. We demonstrate that these local heat-induced denaturation curves mirror the local protein nativeness defined by the free energy landscape of the local curvature and torsion of the protein main chain described by the Cα-Cα virtual bonds. Comparison between molecular dynamics simulations and CS data of the gpW protein demonstrates that some local native states defined by the local curvature and torsion of the main chain, mainly located in secondary structures, are coupled to each other whereas others, mainly located in flexible protein segments, are not. Consequently, CS's of some residues are faithful reporters of global protein unfolding, with heat-induced denaturation curves similar to the average global one, whereas other residues remain silent about the protein unfolded state. For the latter, the local deformation of the protein main chain, characterized by its local curvature and torsion, is not cooperatively coupled to global unfolding.

Abstract
Vertebrate odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins abundantly secreted in the olfactory mucus of many animal species, including humans. Vertebrate OBPs reversibly bind odorant molecules with micromolar range affinities. Although their physiological role is not clearly understood, OBPs are proposed to carry airborne odorants toward membrane olfactory receptors through the nasal mucus. Measurements of odorant-OBP interactions and structural studies require a large amount of pure OBPs devoid of ligands. The bacterial expression system is the first choice for expressing vertebrate OBPs used in our laboratory and others. This system generally produces OBPs in large amounts without major problems. In this chapter, we describe the milligram-scale production of recombinant pig OBP1 (pOBP1) in E. coli. The different steps of expression and purification are presented and discussed. Protocols for secondary structures investigation by circular dichroism and binding properties of the recombinant protein are also provided. More generally, these approaches can be used to produce and characterize any vertebrate OBPs for use in functional and structural studies.

Abstract
Juvenile hormones (JHs) regulate important processes in insects, such as postembryonic development and reproduction. In the hemolymph of Lepidoptera, these lipophilic sesquiterpenic hormones are transported from their site of synthesis to target tissues by high affinity carriers, the juvenile hormone binding proteins (JHBPs). Lepidopteran JHBPs belong to a recently uncovered, yet very ancient family of proteins sharing a common lipid fold (TULIP domain) and involved in shuttling various lipid ligands. One important, but poorly understood aspect of JHs action, is the mechanism of hormone transfer to or through the plasma membranes of target cells. Since many membrane-active peptides and proteins, such as the pore-forming bacterial toxins, are activated by low pH or interaction with phospholipid membranes, we have examined the effect of these factors on JH binding by JHBPs. The affinity of Bombyx mori and Manduca sexta JHBPs for JH III was determined by the DCC assay, equilibrium dialysis, and isothermal titration calorimetry, and found to be greatly reduced at low pH, in agreement with previous observations. Loss of binding was accompanied by changes in fluorescence and near-UV CD spectra, indicating significant changes in protein structure in the environment of aromatic residues. The apparent dissociation rate constant (koff) of the JHBP-JH III complex was greater at acidic pH, suggesting that low pH favors ligand release by opening of the binding pocket. The affinity of recombinant B. mori JHBP (rBmJHBP) was also decreased in the presence of anionic phospholipid vesicles. Measurements of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy with the lipophilic probe TMA-DPH demonstrated that rBmJHBP specifically interacts with anionic membranes. These results suggest the existence of a collisional mechanism for ligand release that may be important for delivery of JHs to the target cells, and could be relevant to the function of related members of this emerging family of lipid-transport proteins.

Abstract
Animals need to detect in the food essential amino acids that they cannot synthesize. We found that the odorant binding protein OBP19b, which is highly expressed in Drosophila melanogaster taste sensilla, is necessary for the detection of several amino acids including the essential l-phenylalanine. The recombinant OBP19b protein was produced and characterized for its binding properties: it stereoselectively binds to several amino acids. Using a feeding-choice assay, we found that OBP19b is necessary for detecting l-phenylalanine and l-glutamine, but not l-alanine or D-phenylalanine. We mapped the cells expressing OBP19b and compared the electrophysiological responses of a single taste sensillum to several amino acids: OBP19b mutant flies showed a reduced response compared to control flies when tested to preferred amino acids, but not to the other ones. OBP19b is well conserved in phylogenetically distant species suggesting that this protein is necessary for detection of specific amino acids in insects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Polyphenols display beneficial health effects through chemopreventive actions on numerous chronic diseases including cancers, metabolic disorders, reproductive disorders and eating behaviour disorders. According to the principle of chemoreception, polyphenols bind cellular targets capable of accepting their stereochemistry, namely metabolizing enzymes and protein receptors, including taste receptors. The extraoral expression of taste receptors and their pharmacological interest in terms of novel drug therapies open up new perspectives on the potential use of these compounds and their interactions with other chemicals in cells. These new perspectives suggest the need to examine these phytochemicals further. However, most polyphenols have a bitterness property that may disrupt the acceptability of healthy foods or dietary supplements. RECENT FINDINGS Polyphenols bind to oral and extraoral bitter type 2 taste receptors, which modulate the signalling pathways involved in anti-inflammatory processes and metabolic and dietary regulations. Depending on their chemical nature, polyphenols may act as activators or inhibitors of taste receptors, and combinations of polyphenols (or herbal mixtures) may be used to modulate the acceptability of bitterness. SUMMARY The current review summarizes recent findings on polyphenol chemoreception and highlights the evidence of healthy effects through type 2 taste receptor mediation in signalling pathways, such as new targets, with promising perspectives.

Abstract
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins that are thought to transport hydrophobic odorants across the aqueous sensillar lymph to olfactory receptors. A recent study revealed that OBP28a, one of the most abundant Drosophila OBPs, is not required for odorant transport, but acts in buffering rapid odour variation in the odorant environment. To further unravel and decipher its functional role, we expressed recombinant OBP28a and characterized its binding specificity. Using a fluorescent binding assay, we found that OBP28a binds a restricted number of floral-like chemicals, including ß-ionone, with an affinity in the micromolar range. We solved the X-ray crystal structure of OBP28a, which showed extensive conformation changes upon ligand binding. Mutant flies genetically deleted for the OBP28a gene showed altered responses to ß-ionone at a given concentration range, supporting its essential role in the detection of specific compounds present in the natural environment of the fly.

Abstract
The olfactory epithelium is continuously exposed to exogenous chemicals, including odorants. During the past decade, the enzymes surrounding the olfactory receptors have been shown to make an important contribution to the process of olfaction. Mammalian xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450, esterases and glutathione transferases (GSTs), have been shown to participate in odorant clearance from the olfactory receptor environment, consequently contributing to the maintenance of sensitivity toward odorants. GSTs have previously been shown to be involved in numerous physiological processes, including detoxification, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and amino acid catabolism. These enzymes ensure either the capture or the glutathione conjugation of a large number of ligands. Using a multi-technique approach (proteomic, immunocytochemistry and activity assays), our results indicate that GSTs play an important role in the rat olfactory process. First, proteomic analysis demonstrated the presence of different putative odorant metabolizing enzymes, including different GSTs, in the rat nasal mucus. Second, GST expression was investigated in situ in rat olfactory tissues using immunohistochemical methods. Third, the activity of the main GST (GSTM2) odorant was studied with in vitro experiments. Recombinant GSTM2 was used to screen a set of odorants and characterize the nature of its interaction with the odorants. Our results support a significant role of GSTs in the modulation of odorant availability for receptors in the peripheral olfactory process.

Abstract
Gurmarin is a highly specific sweet taste-suppressing protein in rodents that is isolated from the Indian plant Gymnema sylvestre. Gurmarin consists of 35 amino acid residues containing 3 intramolecular disulfide bridges that form a cystine knot. Here, we report the crystal structure of gurmarin at a 1.45 Å resolution and compare it with previously reported nuclear magnetic resonance solution structures. The atomic structure at this resolution allowed us to identify a very flexible region consisting of hydrophobic residues. Some of these amino acid residues had been identified as a putative binding site for the rat sweet taste receptor in a previous study. By combining alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the gurmarin molecule and a functional cell-based receptor assay, we confirmed that some single point mutations in these positions drastically affect sweet taste receptor inhibition by gurmarin.

Abstract
Pro-survival stress-inducible chaperone HSP110 is the only HSP for which a mutation has been found in a cancer. Multicenter clinical studies demonstrated a direct association between HSP110 inactivating mutation presence and excellent prognosis in colorectal cancer patients. Here, we have combined crystallographic studies on human HSP110 and in silico modeling to identify HSP110 inhibitors that could be used in colorectal cancer therapy. Two molecules (foldamers 33 and 52), binding to the same cleft of HSP110 nucleotide-binding domain, were selected from a chemical library (by co-immunoprecipitation, AlphaScreening, Interference-Biolayer, Duo-link). These molecules block HSP110 chaperone anti-aggregation activity and HSP110 association to its client protein STAT3, thereby inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and colorectal cancer cell growth. These effects were strongly decreased in HSP110 knockdown cells. Foldamer's 33 ability to inhibit tumor growth was confirmed in two colorectal cancer animal models. Although tumor cell death (apoptosis) was noted after treatment of the animals with foldamer 33, no apparent toxicity was observed, notably in epithelial cells from intestinal crypts. Taken together, we identified the first HSP110 inhibitor, a possible drug-candidate for colorectal cancer patients whose unfavorable outcome is associated to HSP110.

Abstract
This paper reports the main trends and perspectives related to the current understanding of the relationships between saliva and flavor perception. Saliva is a key factor in flavor perception and controls the transport of flavor molecules to their receptors, their adsorption onto the mouth surfaces (i.e., oral mucosa), their metabolism by enzymatic modification, and the friction force in the oral cavity. The proteins in free saliva or in the mucosal pellicle contribute to flavor perception by interacting with or metabolizing flavor compounds. Most of these reactions were observed when using fresh whole saliva; however, they were absent or less frequently observed when using artificial saliva or depleted/frozen whole saliva. There is a need to better understand the role of protein aggregates in flavor perception. Within humans, there is great interindividual variation in salivary composition, which has been related to differences in flavor perception. However, the relative role of salivary proteins and the microbiota should be deeply investigated together with the impact of their composition on individual perception during life. Finally, future results must also consider cross-modal interactions at the brain level.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous key enzymes that catalyse the conjugation of glutathione to xenobiotic compounds in the detoxification process. GSTs have been proposed to play a dual role in the signal termination of insect chemodetection by modifying odorant and tasting molecules and by protecting the chemosensory system. Among the 40 GSTs identified in Drosophila melanogaster, the Delta and Epsilon groups are insect-specific. GSTs Delta and Epsilon may have evolved to serve in detoxification, and have been associated with insecticide resistance. Here, we report the heterologous expression and purification of the D. melanogaster GST Delta 2 (GSTD2). We investigated the capacity of GSTD2 to bind tasting molecules. Among them, we found that isothiocyanates (ITC), insecticidal compounds naturally present in cruciferous plant and perceived as bitter, are good substrates for GSTD2. The X-ray structure of GSTD2 was solved, showing the absence of the classical Ser catalytic residue, conserved in the Delta and Epsilon GSTs. Using molecular dynamics, the interaction of ITC with the GSTD2 three-dimensional structure is analysed and discussed. These findings allow us to consider a biological role for GSTD2 in chemoperception, considering GSTD2 expression in the chemosensory organs and the potential consequences of insect exposure to ITC.

Abstract
Umami taste perception is mediated by the heterodimeric G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), formed by the assembly of T1R1 and T1R3 subunits. T1R1 and T1R3 subunits are class C GPCRs whose members share common structural homologies including a long N-terminal domain (NTD) linked to a seven transmembrane domain by a short cysteine-rich region. The NTD of the T1R1 subunit contains the primary binding site for umami stimuli, such as L-glutamate (L-Glu) for humans. Inosine-5’-monophosphate (IMP) binds at a location close to the opening of the T1R1-NTD “flytrap”, thus creating the observed synergistic response between L-Glu and IMP. T1R1/T1R3 binding studies have revealed species-dependent differences. While human T1R1/T1R3 is activated specifically by L-Glu, the T1R1/T1R3 in other species is a broadly tuned receptor, sensitive to a range of L-amino acids. Because domestic cats are obligate carnivores, they display strong preferences for some specific amino acids. To better understand the structural basis of umami stimuli recognition by non-human taste receptors, we measured the binding of selected amino acids to cat T1R1/T1R3 (cT1R1/cT1R3) umami taste receptor. For this purpose, we expressed cT1R1-NTD in bacteria as inclusion bodies. After purification, refolding of the protein was achieved. Circular dichroism spectroscopic studies revealed that cT1R1-NTD was well renatured with evidence of secondary structures. Using size-exclusion chromatography coupled to light scattering, we found that the cT1R1-NTD behaves as a monomer. Ligand binding quantified by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence showed that cT1R1-NTD is capable of binding L-amino acids with Kd values in the micromolar range. We demonstrated that IMP potentiates L-amino acid binding onto renatured cT1R1-NTD. Interestingly, our results revealed that IMP binds the extracellular domain in the absence of L-amino acids. Thus, this study demonstrates that the feasibility to produce milligram quantities of cT1R1-NTD for functional and structural studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The current review summarizes and discusses current knowledge on sweeteners and sweetness enhancers. RECENT FINDINGS The perception of sweet taste is mediated by the type 1 taste receptor 2 (T1R2)/type 1 taste receptor 3 (T1R3) receptor, which is expressed in the oral cavity, where it provides input on the caloric and macronutrient contents of ingested food. This receptor recognizes all the compounds (natural or artificial) perceived as sweet by people. Sweeteners are highly chemically diverse including natural sugars, sugar alcohols, natural and synthetic sweeteners, and sweet-tasting proteins. This single receptor is also the target for developing novel sweet enhancers. Importantly, the expression of a functional T1R2/T1R3 receptor is described in numerous extraoral tissues. In this review, the physiological impact of sweeteners is discussed. SUMMARY Sweeteners and sweetness enhancers are perceived through the T1R2/T1R3 taste receptor present both in mouth and numerous extraoral tissues. The accumulated knowledge on sugar substitutes raises the issue of potential health effects.
