Efficient extraction of intracellular reduced glutathione from fermentation broth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by ethanol

Reduced glutathione (GSH) from fermentation broth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was extracted with ethanol without disruption of the cells. The effects of ethanol concentration, extraction temperature and extraction time were assessed by using 2(3) full factorial designs (FFD). Preliminary studies showed that ethanol concentration had the most influence on GSH yield by ethanol extraction, based on the first order regression coefficients derived using MINITAB software, and an optimal ethanol concentration (25%, v/v) was obtained. However, compared to the conventional extraction technique (hot water extraction), there was no significant advantage in yield of GSH from yeast cells using ethanol extraction under these optimized conditions. But ethanol extraction has several advantages, such as lower energy consumption and lower protein concentration of extraction broth, which may reduce the complexity and cost of the purification process. Hence, ethanol extraction which does not disrupt yeast cells could be an inexpensive, simple and efficient alternative to conventional extraction techniques in the GSH industry.

ENGINEERING A HIGH-YIELD GLUTATHIONE STRAIN OF Hansenula polymorpha USING ION BEAM IMPLANTATION

To generate an industrial strain of Hansenula polymorpha capable of yielding greater levels of glutathione (GSH), wild strain H. polymorpha DL-1 cells were mutated using a nitrogen ion beam, a novel mutagen. At an energy level of 20 keV and dose of 2.13 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm², H. polymorpha strain 28 (HP28) with a high-yield of GSH was screened. HP28 intracellular GSH levels reached 337.16 mg/L by ion beam implantation, 1.56 times greater than that of the wild type strain when the fermentation time was shortened from 48 hr to 42 hr, greatly improving efficiency and reducing the cost of industrial-scale production. The enhanced efficiency of HP28 is promising for GSH production from lignocellulosic materials. Therefore, the ion beam implantation would be a cost-effective alternative to the conventional mutation method for engineering yeast and improving its utility.     

A simple, quick, and high-yield preparation of the human thromboxane A2 receptor in full size for structural studies

Human thromboxane A2 receptor (TP), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is one of the most promising targets for developing the next generation of anti-thrombosis and hypertension drugs. However, obtaining a sufficient amount of the full-sized and active membrane protein has been the major obstacle for structural elucidation that reveals the molecular mechanisms of the receptor activation and drug designs. Here we report an approach for the simple, quick, and high-yield preparation of the purified and active full-sized TP in an amount suitable for structural studies. Glycosylated human TP was highly expressed in Sf-9 cells using an optimized baculovirus (BV) expression system. The active receptor was extracted and solubilized by different detergents for comparison and was finally purified to a nearly single band with a ratio of 1:0.9 +/- 0.05 (ligand:receptor molecule) in ligand binding using a Ni column with a relatively low yield. However, a high-yield purification (milligram quantity) of the TP protein, from a modulate scale of transfected Sf-9 cell culture, has been achieved by quick and simple purification steps, which include DNA digestion, dodecyl-maltoside detergent extraction, centrifugation, and FPLC purification. The purity and quantity of the purified TP, using the high-yield approach, were suitable for protein structural studies as evidenced by SDS-PAGE, Western blot analyses, ligand binding assays, and a feasibility test using high-resolution one-dimensional and two-dimensional (1)H NMR spectroscopic analyses. These studies provide a basis for the high-yield expression and purification of the GPCR for the structural and functional characterization using biophysics approaches.     

Adaptive ammoniagenesis in chronic renal failure.

The role of gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) in renal ammoniagenesis, glutamine (Gln), and glutathione (GSH) utilization was evaluated in the intact functioning rat kidney of subtotal nephrectomy (SNX) model of chronic renal failure (CRF). NH4+ derived from extracellular gamma-GT hydrolysis of Gln and GSH was differentiated from the intramitochondrial phosphate-dependent glutaminase by using acivicin, a gamma-GT-specific inhibitor. In the control (C) group Gln extraction accounted for 61% of total NH4+ production (sum of renal venous and urinary NH4+), but only 41% in SNX group. In the SNX group GSH extraction accounted for 10% of total NH4+ production, but only 1% in the C group. Acivicin inhibited 44% and 33% of total NH4+ production in SNX and C group respectively, as compared to baseline before acivicin. In CRF, gamma-GT a key enzyme of the gamma-glutamyl cycle plays a significant role in adaptive ammoniagenesis.     

The effect of olive mill wastewaters variability on xanthan production

AIMS: Xanthan production by Xanthomonas campestris from several olive mill wastewaters (OMW) was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Maximum xanthan production of 4 g l(-1) was obtained in media with 50% OMW as sole source of nutrients. OMW storage decreased effluent quality for xanthan production. The range of effluent concentration for X. campestris growth and xanthan production varied depending on OMW extraction METHOD: Wastewaters from press and two-phase extraction methods required higher dilution rates (< 10%) than those from the three-phase extraction method (50%). Nitrogen supplementation improved xanthan production in press and two-phase OMW. CONCLUSION: Factors affecting wastewaters composition, namely, waste storage, time of olive harvesting, and method for oil extraction, were found to influence xanthan production in shake-flask cultures. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Conditions for xanthan production from OMW should be optimized in accordance with the nature of the waste material.     

Improved glutathione production by gene expression in Escherichia coli

AIMS: To improve glutathione (GSH) production in Escherichia coli by different genetic constructions containing GSH genes. METHODS AND RESULTS: GSH production was very low in E. coli by the expression of gshI gene. An increase of GSH production was achieved by the expression of both gshI and gshII genes in E. coli. A higher GSH production, namely 34.8 mg g(-1) wet cell weight, was obtained by simultaneous expression of two copies of gshI gene and one copy of gshII gene. CONCLUSIONS: The simultaneous expression of two copies of gshI gene and one copy of gshII gene resulted in a significant increase in GSH production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The expression strategy for GSH production described here can be used to increase gene expression and obtain high production rates in other multienzyme reaction systems.     

Assessment of in situ cellular glutathione labeling with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde using high-performance liquid chromatography

We have presently studied a dialdehydic reagent, i.e. naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA), as a fluorogenic probe for the labeling of intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH), using a yeast strain Candida albicans as a cell model. Chemical reactivity of NDA with both amino and sulfhydryl groups of the GSH molecule leads to a highly selective detection. Moreover, fluorescence properties of the resulting adduct fit well with most of modern instruments adapted for in situ measurements, and equipped with an argon laser. After incubation of cells with 100 microM of NDA for 20 min, cells were harvested and corresponding lysates obtained after a freezing cycle, were suspended in 0.2M borate buffer pH 9.2 and analysed with HPLC (column: Spherisorb ODS-2 (125 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.) 5 microm; mobile phase: methanol-0.01 M phosphate buffer pH 6.5 (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL min(-1); spectrofluorimetric detection: lambda(exc)=430 nm and lambda(em)=530 nm). The GSH-NDA adduct was identified in the yeast strain extracts using the reported HPLC technique and quantified versus a calibration curve of NDA derivatized with an excess of GSH (linearity range: 9-230 nM). The cell loading step of the free probe NDA and the extraction efficiency of the resulting NDA-GSH adduct were optimized.     

Assay of thiols and disulfides based on the reversibility of N-ethylmaleimide alkylation of thiols combined with electrolysis.

A simple and specific method for analyzing thiols and disulfides on the basis of the reversibility of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) alkylation of thiols is described. When the adduct of NEM and glutathione (GSH) was electrolyzed at neutral pH, all of the GSH was recovered. When the adduct was exposed to pH 11.0 for 15 min at 30 degrees C before electrolysis, GSH was not detected. The same behavior was observed after protein thiols reacted with NEM. This pH-dependent production of thiol from the adduct was used to assay GSH and oxidized glutathione in yeast cells, to assay sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds in authentic proteins, and to protect thiols from oxidation during enzymatic digestion of protein. This method is useful for assay of thiols and disulfides of both small and large molecules and can be used to identify labile thiols in biological samples that are oxidized during extraction procedures.
