Lactose permease lipid selectivity using Förster resonance energy transfer

The phospholipid composition that surrounds a membrane protein is critical to maintain its structural integrity and, consequently, its functional properties. To understand better this in the present work we have performed FRET measurements between the single tryptophan residue of a lactose permease Escherichia coli mutant (single-W151/C154G LacY) and pyrene-labeled phospholipids (Pyr-PE and Pyr-PG) at 37 °C. We have reconstituted this LacY mutant in proteoliposomes formed with heteroacid phospholipids, POPE and POPG, and homoacid phospholipids DOPE and DPPE, resembling the same PE/PG proportion found in the E. coli inner membrane (3:1, mol/mol). A theoretical model has been fitted to the experimental data. In the POPE/POPG system, quantitative model calculations show accordance with the experimental values that requires an annular region composed of approximately ∼ 90 mol% PE. The experimental FRET efficiencies for the gel/fluid phase-separated DOPE/POPG system indicate a higher presence of PG in the annular region, from which it can be concluded that LacY shows clear preference for the fluid phase. Similar conclusions are obtained from analysis of excimer-to-monomer (E/M) pyrene ratios. To test the effects of this on cardiolipin (CL) on the annular region, myristoyl-CL and oleoyl-CL were incorporated in the biomimetic POPE/POPG matrix. The experimental FRET efficiency values, slightly larger for Pyr-PE than for Pyr-PG, suggest that CL displaces POPE and, more extensively, POPG from the annular region of LacY. Model fitting indicates that CL enrichment in the annular layer is, in fact, solely produced by replacing PG and that myristoyl-CL is not able to displace PE in the same way that oleoyl-CL does. One of the conclusions of this work is the fact that LacY inserts preferentially in fluid phases of membranes.     

Lactose metabolism in Lactobacillus curvatus and Lactobacillus sake

Abstract The lactose metabolism was investigated in five strains of Lactobacillus curvatus and 14 strains of L. sake isolated from meat or meat-derived products. Strains with the ability to ferment lactose were found in both species. They exhibited either phospho-β-galactosidase (P-β-gal) or β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity, or both. P-β-gal activity of L. curvatus and L. sake was induced and detected only in the presence of lactose or galactose. Furthermore, catabolite repression by glucose was demonstrated. The immunological properties of the P-β-gal enzymes of these organisms resemble those of Lactococcus lactis . Several strains of L. sake but none of L. curvatus exhibited β-gal activity which was constitutive. In hybridisation experiments, the β-gal genes of L. sake and L. casei ATCC393 showed over 60% DNA-homology. The presence of β-gal genes in L. sake was demonstrated in both β-gal-producing and non-producing strains. This observations is consistent with a genetic potential of lactic acid bacteria exceeding their physiological capabilities.     

Enzymatic Synthesis of Hexyl Glycosides from Lactose At Low Water Activity and High Temperature Using Hyperthermostable β-glycosidases

Optimization of hexyl-g-glycoside synthesis from lactose in hexanol at low water activity and high temperature was investigated using g-glycosidases from hyperthermophilic organisms: Sulfolobus solfataricus (LacS) and Pyrococcus furiosus (CelB). The method for water activity adjustment by equilibration with saturated salt solutions was adapted for use at high temperature. The influence of enzyme immobilization (on XAD-4, XAD-16, or Celite), addition of surfactants (AOT or SDS), substrate concentration, water activity, and temperature (60-90°C) on enzymatic activity and hexyl-g-glycoside yield were examined. Compared to other g-glycosidases in lactose conversion into alkyl glycoside, these enzymes showed high activity in a hexanol one-phase system and synthesized high yields of both hexyl-g-galactoside and hexyl-g-glucoside. Using 32 λg/l lactose (93 λmM), LacS synthesized yields of 41% galactoside (38.1 λmM) and 29% glucoside (27.0 λmM), and CelB synthesized yields of 63% galactoside (58.6 λmM) and 28% glucoside (26.1 λmM). With the addition of SDS to the reaction it was possible to increase the initial reaction rate of LacS and hexyl-g-galactoside yield (from 41 to 51%). The activity of the lyophilized enzyme was more influenced by the water content in the reaction than the enzyme on solid support. In addition, it was concluded that for the lyophilized enzyme preparation the enzymatic activity was much more influenced by the temperature when the water activity was increased. A variety of different glycosides were prepared using different alcohols as acceptors.     

乳糖诱导重组尿酸酶基因在大肠杆菌中的表达

A Suppressor Analysis of Residues Involved in Cation Transport in the Lactose Permease: Identification of a Coupling Sensor

Four amino acids critical for lactose permease function were altered using site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting Quad mutant (E269Q/R302L/H322Q/E325Q) was expressed at 60% of wild-type levels but found to have negligible transport activity. The Quad mutant was used as a parental strain to isolate suppressors that regained the ability to ferment the α-galactoside melibiose. Six different suppressors were identified involving five discrete amino acid changes and one amino acid deletion (Q60L, V229G, Y236D, S306L, K319N and ΔI298). All of the suppressors transported α-galactosides at substantial rates. In addition, the Q60L, ΔI298 and K319N suppressors regained a small but detectable amount of lactose transport. Assays of sugar-driven cation transport showed that both the Q60L and K319N suppressors couple the influx of melibiose with cations (H⁺ or H₃O⁺). Taken together, the data show that the cation-binding domain in the lactose permease is not a fixed structure as proposed in previous models. Rather, the data are consistent with a model in which several ionizable residues form a dynamic coupling sensor that also may interact directly with the cation and lactose.     

Effect of Lactose and Dried Whey Supplementation on Growth Performance and Histology of the Immune System in Broilers

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of lactose and dried whey supplementation as dietary component on growth performance and histology of lymphoid organs and ileum in broilers. A total of 480 day-old chicks were utilised for 42 days. Animals were assigned randomly to one of three treatments: control, lactose (2.5%), and dried whey (3.85%). Body weight was greater for animals supplemented with lactose or dried whey than for those not supplemented. There were no effects of treatments on feed intake and feed efficiency. In general, the effects of lactose or dried whey supplementation on histology of lymphoid organs and ileum were variable. Plasma cell counts were lower for animals supplemented with lactose than for those supplemented with dried whey. However, the length of intestinal villi during the starter period was greater for experimental groups than for control group.     

The State of Aggregation of Casein Affects the Storage Stability of Amorphous Sucrose, Lactose, and Their Mixtures

The effect of the state of aggregation of casein (micellar or non-micellar, as milk protein concentrate [MPC] or sodium caseinate [Na-caseinate], respectively) on water sorption, plasticization, and crystallization of freeze-dried matrices containing sucrose, lactose or their blends were studied. The Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer (GAB) equation satisfactorily fitted to the water sorption data. In most cases, sugar crystallization—studied by water sorption behavior, x-ray diffraction, and non-isothermal calorimetry—occurred significantly slower in systems containing Na-caseinate compared to MPC. The type of casein did not affect the temperature range where the glass transition (T _g) was observed. Sugar/Na-caseinate mixtures showed higher instant crystallization temperatures (up to 20°C) than sugar/MPC mixtures. X-ray diffraction showed that: (a) crystallinity increased with increasing relative vapor pressure (RVP) > 44%; (b) lactose crystallized mainly as α-lactose monohydrate regardless of casein type; and (c) that sucrose crystals predominated the patterns of the sucrose/lactose mixtures. Results suggested that the way proteins organize in space (i.e., aggregation state) affected their interactions with neighboring sugar and water molecules, which led to differences in sugar crystallization behavior.
