Burkholderia pseudomallei, a pathogenic gram‐negative bacterium, causes the severe human disease melioidosis. This organism can survive in eukaryotic host cells by escaping reactive oxygen species via the regulation of stress responsive sigma factors, including RpoS. In B. pseudomallei, RpoS has been reported to play a role in the oxidative stress response through enhanced activity of OxyR and catalase. In this study, the RpoS dependent oxidative stress responsive system was further characterized using comparative proteomic analysis. The proteomic profiles of wild‐type B. pseudomallei following exposure to H2O2 and between wild‐type and the rpoS mutant strains were analyzed. Using stringent criteria, 13 oxidative responsive proteins, eight of which are regulated by RpoS, were identified with high confidence. It was observed that ScoA, a subunit of the SCOT enzyme not previously shown to be involved directly in the oxidative stress response, is significantly down‐regulated after hydrogen peroxide treatment. ScoA and ScoB have been predicted to be organized in a single operon using computational methods: in this study it was confirmed by RT‐PCR that these genes are indeed co‐transcribed as a single mRNA. The present study is the first to report a role for RpoS in the down‐regulation of SCOT expression in response to oxidative stress in B. pseudomallei. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) can regulate osteoblast activities. This study was aimed to evaluate the protective effects of pretreatment with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as a source of NO on hydrogen peroxide‐induced osteoblast insults and its possible mechanisms. Exposure of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells to hydrogen peroxide significantly increased cellular oxidative stress, but decreased ALP activity and cell viability, inducing cell apoptosis. Pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP significantly lowered hydrogen peroxide‐induced cell insults. Treatment of human MG63 cells with hydrogen peroxide inhibited Bcl‐2 mRNA and protein production, but pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP significantly ameliorated such inhibition. Sequentially, hydrogen peroxide decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, but increased the levels of cytochrome c and caspase‐3 activity. Pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP significantly lowered such alterations. Exposure to hydrogen peroxide decreased Runx2 mRNA and protein syntheses. However, pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP significantly lowered the suppressive effects. Runx2 knockdown using RNA interference inhibited Bcl‐2 mRNA production in human MG63 cells. Protection of pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP against hydrogen peroxide‐induced alterations in ALP activity, caspase‐3 activity, apoptotic cells, and cell viability were also alleviated after administration of Runx2 small interference RNA. Thus, this study shows that pretreatment with 0.3 mM SNP can protect human MG63 cells from hydrogen peroxide‐induced apoptotic insults possibly via Runx2‐involved regulation of bcl‐2 gene expression.

Lysophospholipids are intermediates of phospholipid metabolism resulting from stress and lysophospholipases detoxify lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC). Many lysophospholipases have been characterized in mammals and bacteria, but few have been reported from plants. Arabidopsis thaliana lysophospholipase 2 (lysoPL2) (At1g52760) was identified as a protein interactor of acyl‐CoA‐binding protein 2 (ACBP2) in yeast two‐hybrid analysis and co‐immunoprecipitation assays. BLASTP analysis indicated that lysoPL2 showed ~35% amino acid identity to the lysoPL1 family. Co‐localization of autofluorescence‐tagged lysoPL2 and ACBP2 by confocal microscopy in agroinfiltrated tobacco suggests the plasma membrane as a site for their subcellular interaction. LysoPL2 mRNA was induced by zinc (Zn) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and lysoPL2 knockout mutants showed enhanced sensitivity to Zn and H2O2 in comparison to wild type. LysoPL2‐overexpressing Arabidopsis was more tolerant to H2O2 and cadmium (Cd) than wild type, suggesting involvement of lysoPL2 in phospholipid repair following lipid peroxidation arising from metal‐induced stress. Lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) contents in ACBP2‐overexpressors and lysoPL2‐overexpressors after Cd‐treatment were lower than wild type, indicating that ACBP2 and lysoPL2 confer protection during oxidative stress. A role for lysoPL2 in lysoPC detoxification was demonstrated when recombinant lysoPL2 was observed to degrade lysoPC in vitro. Filter‐binding assays and Lipidex competition assays showed that (His)6‐ACBP2 binds lysoPC in vitro. Binding was disrupted in a (His)6‐ACBP2 derivative lacking the acyl‐CoA‐binding domain, confirming that this domain confers lysoPC binding. These results suggest that ACBP2 can bind both lysoPC and lysoPL2 to promote the degradation of lysoPC in response to Cd‐induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis, pre‐mRNAs of serine/arginine‐rich (SR) proteins undergo extensive alternative splicing (AS). However, little is known about the cis‐elements and trans‐acting proteins involved in regulating AS. Using a splicing reporter (GFP–intron–GFP), consisting of the GFP coding sequence interrupted by an alternatively spliced intron of SCL33, we investigated whether cis‐elements within this intron are sufficient for AS, and which SR proteins are necessary for regulated AS. Expression of the splicing reporter in protoplasts faithfully produced all splice variants from the intron, suggesting that cis‐elements required for AS reside within the intron. To determine which SR proteins are responsible for AS, the splicing pattern of the GFP–intron–GFP reporter was investigated in protoplasts of three single and three double mutants of SR genes. These analyses revealed that SCL33 and a closely related paralog, SCL30a, are functionally redundant in generating specific splice variants from this intron. Furthermore, SCL33 protein bound to a conserved sequence in this intron, indicating auto‐regulation of AS. Mutations in four GAAG repeats within the conserved region impaired generation of the same splice variants that are affected in the scl33 scl30a double mutant. In conclusion, we have identified the first intronic cis‐element involved in AS of a plant SR gene, and elucidated a mechanism for auto‐regulation of AS of this intron. 相似文献

3‐amino‐benzoic acid (3AB) is an important building block molecule for production of a wide range of important compounds such as natural products with various biological activities. In the present study, we established a microbial biosynthetic system for de novo 3AB production from the simple substrate glucose. First, the active 3AB biosynthetic pathway was reconstituted in the bacterium Escherichia coli, which resulted in the production of 1.5 mg/L 3AB. In an effort to improve the production, an E. coli‐E. coli co‐culture system was engineered to modularize the biosynthetic pathway between an upstream strain and an downstream strain. Specifically, the upstream biosynthetic module was contained in a fixed E. coli strain, whereas a series of E. coli strains were engineered to accommodate the downstream biosynthetic module and screened for optimal production performance. The best co‐culture system was found to improve 3AB production by 15 fold, compared to the mono‐culture approach. Further engineering of the co‐culture system resulted in biosynthesis of 48 mg/L 3AB. Our results demonstrate co‐culture engineering can be a powerful new approach in the broad field of metabolic engineering. 相似文献
