C-terminal Domain of Leucyl-tRNA Synthetase from Pathogenic Candida albicans Recognizes both tRNASer and tRNALeu

Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) is a multidomain enzyme that catalyzes Leu-tRNA^Leu formation and is classified into bacterial and archaeal/eukaryotic types with significant diversity in the C-terminal domain (CTD). CTDs of both bacterial and archaeal LeuRSs have been reported to recognize tRNA^Leu through different modes of interaction. In the human pathogen Candida albicans, the cytoplasmic LeuRS (CaLeuRS) is distinguished by its capacity to recognize a uniquely evolved chimeric tRNA^Ser (CatRNA^Ser(CAG)) in addition to its cognate CatRNA^Leu, leading to CUG codon reassignment. Our previous study showed that eukaryotic but not archaeal LeuRSs recognize this peculiar tRNA^Ser, suggesting the significance of their highly divergent CTDs in tRNA^Ser recognition. The results of this study provided the first evidence of the indispensable function of the CTD of eukaryotic LeuRS in recognizing non-cognate CatRNA^Ser and cognate CatRNA^Leu. Three lysine residues were identified as involved in mediating enzyme-tRNA interaction in the leucylation process: mutation of all three sites totally ablated the leucylation activity. The importance of the three lysine residues was further verified by gel mobility shift assays and complementation of a yeast leuS gene knock-out strain.

Studies on the Stability of Lipase from Candida Cylindracea, Free and Incorporated in Polymerisable Zwitterionic Surfactant Vesicles

Lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) was incorporated into vesicles of a polymerisable zwitterionic surfactant: bis[2-(pentacosa-10,12-diynoyloxy)ethyl]-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (BPAS). Vesicle systems of BPAS were characterised in terms of morphology (Electron Microscopy) and stability. Polymerisation of BPAS vesicles did not alter the morphology and polymeric vesicles were considerably more stable than the monomeric analogues. CCL was incorporated into the vesicle membrane by spontaneous insertion. The enzyme remained fully active after incorporation into the vesicle bilayer; especially in homogeneous assay mixtures the vesicle incorporated enzyme showed an increased activity when compared to the free lipase. The stability of free and incorporated lipase was determined by measuring the residual activity of the various systems when mixed with ethanol (50% v/v) or 2-(n-butoxy)ethanol (37.5% v/v), at 50°C and 60°C and in the presence of the proteolytic enzyme trypsin. In all cases the vesicle incorporated enzyme showed an increased stability against the denaturating conditions.     

Lipase from Candida paralipolytica

The extracellular lipase from Candida paralipolytica required essential activators* (usually bile- or calcium salts) for the in vitro hydrolysis of triglycerides. The reaction systems emulsified with gum arabic, gelatin, lecithin, methyl cellulose, pectin, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium cholate, or without emulsifier were compared concerning requirement for essential activator, inhibition with sodium chloride and maximum reaction rate, and the following findings have been obtained. (1) The emulsions used can be classified into five groups by the essential activator requirement. (2) The inhibition with sodium chloride depended on reaction system. (3) Each reaction system gave a similar reaction rate at pH 8.2. (4) Long-chain fatty acid dissolved in substrate was necessary to the activation with calcium salts.     

Lipase from Candida paralipolytica

The extracellular lipase from Candida paralipolytica required alkaline earth metal ion as the cofactor*² in the reaction mixture not emulsified but dispersed by shaking, contradicting the fact that it required bile salt or anionic surfactant as the essential activator*³ in the systems emulsified with polyvinyl alcohol, as previously reported.¹) The two kinds of factors necessary to activate both reaction systems respectively were unexchangeable for each other. These facts would be direct evidences of the difference of interfacial nature between two substrate forms prepared from the same substrate.

The zero-order reaction has been observed under the non-emulsified conditions and the activation mechanism by alkaline earth metal ions has been studied partly.     

Phenotypic evaluation to differentiate Candida albicans from Candida dubliniensis

This study evaluated the phenotypic tests used to differentiate Candida albicans from Candida dubliniensis. A total of 55 isolates from vaginal secretions, oral cavity and hemoculture were studied. They were originally identified as C. albicans, based on their morphological and physiological characteristics. These isolates were tested for colony color development on CHROMagar Candida medium, growth at 45 degrees C on Sabouraud Dextrose agar, lipolytic activity on Tween 80 Agar medium and colony morphology and chlamydoconidia formation on Staib agar medium. Of the 55 isolates studied, seven yielded one or more phenotypic characteristics suggestive of Candida dubliniensis. These isolates were tested by PCR with specific primers for Candida dubliniensis and API ID 32. The seven isolates were confirmed as Candida albicans. All of these finding indicate that DNA based tests should be used for definitive identification of Candida dubliniensis.     

Lipase from Candida paralipolytica

The lipase from Candida paralipolytica was purified, as judged by disc electrophoresis. The purification was about 132 fold, based on protein, with a recovery of 32% from the acetone precipitate of the cultivated broth.

After purification, modification of the enzyme was performed by dialyzing its solution against 1 m sodium chloride in acetate buffer at room temperature and by separating the modified enzyme from an unknown substance(s) with a Sephadex G–75 column.

The optimum pH for lipolysis of the purified lipase was 8.0, while that of the modified one was 7.0. Sodium taurocholate was required essentially by the purified enzyme, but not by the modified one. The purified lipase was stable below 37°C and in the pH range from 3.5 to 9.0 at 5°C.     

玉米浆在产甘油假丝酵母甘油发酵中的作用机理

以复合培养基和合成培养基进行比较发酵,研究了玉米浆在产甘油假丝酵母甘油发酵过程中的作用机理。结果表明:玉米浆中的磷、氮和微量元素是影响产甘油假丝酵母甘油发酵的3个关键因素。当玉米浆磷浓度为121·75mg/L(玉米浆浓度为14g/L),最大甘油转化率达到53·44%。玉米浆磷可以调节EMP途径与HMP途径之间碳架代谢流的分布,随着玉米浆浓度进一步增加,过量磷能抑制HMP途径而激活EMP途径,因而复合培养基各项发酵参数的变化非常显著。玉米浆氮对磷的调节功能有协同作用,但并不是产甘油假丝酵母甘油发酵的理想氮源。玉米浆中的微量元素能够显著提高葡萄糖的消耗速率、促进菌体的生长和增加甘油的产量。
