春化冬小麦的玉米赤霉烯酮结合蛋白(简报)(英文)

玉米赤霉烯酮(Zearalenone,简称ZEN)是八十年代初从高等植物中鉴定出的一种微量生理活性物质,已证明它在植物成花过程中起重要作用。为了阐明玉米赤霉烯酮的作用机制,我们用放射配体竞争结合分析法研究了春化冬小麦的ZEN特异结合蛋白。结果表明在春化冬小麦胚芽中存在着可溶性的ZEN特异结合蛋白(ZBP)。结合反应的pH范围在6-8,加热、蛋白酶和尿素处理破坏结合活性。玉米赤霉烯酮的同系物α-玉米赤霉醇和β-玉米赤霉醇,以及动物雌性激素雌二醇可与ZEN竞争结合ZBP。其它植物激素不能与ZBP发生竞争结合。蔗糖密度梯度离心分析表明ZBP沉降于4-5S区。

Interspecific evolutionary relationships of alpha-glucuronidase in the genus Aspergillus

The increased availability and production of lignocellulosic agroindustrial wastes has originated proposals for their use as raw material to obtain biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) or derived products. However, for biomass generated from lignocellulosic residues to be successfully degraded, in most cases it requires a physical (thermal), chemical, or enzymatic pretreatment before the application of microbial or enzymatic fermentation technologies (biocatalysis). In the context of enzymatic technologies, fungi have demonstrated to produce enzymes capable of degrading polysaccharides like cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin. Because of this ability for degrading lignocellulosic material, researchers are making efforts to isolate and identify fungal enzymes that could have a better activity for the degradation of plant cell walls and agroindustrial biomass. We performed an in silico analysis of alpha-glucoronidase in 82 accessions of the genus Aspergillus. The constructed dendrograms of amino acid sequences defined the formation of 6 groups (I, II, III, IV, V, and VI), which demonstrates the high diversity of the enzyme. Despite this ample divergence between enzyme groups, our 3D structure modeling showed both conservation and differences in amino acid residues participating in enzyme–substrate binding, which indicates the possibility that some enzymes are functionally specialized for the specific degradation of a substrate depending on the genetics of each species in the genus and the condition of the habitat where they evolved. The identification of alpha-glucuronidase isoenzymes would allow future use of genetic engineering and biocatalysis technologies aimed at specific production of the enzyme for its use in biotransformation.

Sequence divergence and diversity suggests ongoing functional diversification of vertebrate NAD metabolism

NAD is not only an important cofactor in redox reactions but has also received attention in recent years because of its physiological importance in metabolic regulation, DNA repair and signaling. In contrast to the redox reactions, these regulatory processes involve degradation of NAD and therefore necessitate a constant replenishment of its cellular pool. NAD biosynthetic enzymes are common to almost all species in all clades, but the number of NAD degrading enzymes varies substantially across taxa. In particular, vertebrates, including humans, have a manifold of NAD degrading enzymes which require a high turnover of NAD. As there is currently a lack of a systematic study of how natural selection has shaped enzymes involved in NAD metabolism we conducted a comprehensive evolutionary analysis based on intraspecific variation and interspecific divergence. We compare NAD biosynthetic and degrading enzymes in four eukaryotic model species and subsequently focus on human NAD metabolic enzymes and their orthologs in other vertebrates. We find that the majority of enzymes involved in NAD metabolism are subject to varying levels of purifying selection. While NAD biosynthetic enzymes appear to experience a rather high level of evolutionary constraint, there is evidence for positive selection among enzymes mediating NAD-dependent signaling. This is particularly evident for members of the PARP family, a diverse protein family involved in DNA damage repair and programmed cell death. Based on haplotype information and substitution rate analysis we pinpoint sites that are potential targets of positive selection. We also link our findings to a three dimensional structure, which suggests that positive selection occurs in domains responsible for DNA binding and polymerization rather than the NAD catalytic domain. Taken together, our results indicate that vertebrate NAD metabolism is still undergoing functional diversification.     

Enzymatic production and degradation of cheese-derived non-proteolytic aminoacyl derivatives

Gamma-glutamyl-amino acids, lactoyl-amino acids and pyroglutamyl-amino acids, collectively named Non-Proteolytic Aminoacyl Derivatives (NPADs) are unusual aminoacyl derivatives of non-proteolytic origins found in consistent amount in several cheeses. Although their enzymatic origin arising from lactic acid bacteria has been demonstrated, the exact enzymes originating them, the ones eventually degrading them and also their resistance to digestive enzymes in the human gastrointestinal tract and in the blood serum after eventual absorption are still unknown. In this paper, pure enzymes and biological media were tested on NPAD and their aminoacidic precursors, for identifying the conditions favoring bioproduction and biodegradation of these compounds. Pure gamma-glutamyl-phenylalanine and its precursor (glutamic acid and phenylalanine), also in the isotopically labeled forms, were tested with Parmigiano-Reggiano extracts, blood serum and different pure enzymes, including typical digestion enzymes (pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and carboxypeptidase. The data suggested that their production in cheese, and also their partial degradation, might be due to the action of peptidases and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. Anyway, under simulated gastrointestinal digestion and in blood serum these compounds turned out to be perfectly stable, suggesting a potential to be absorbed as such and possibly being transported to the body tissues.

Microbial degradation of phenol and phenolic derivatives

Phenol and its derivatives are one of the largest groups of environmental pollutants due to their presence in many industrial effluents and broad application as antibacterial and antifungal agents. A number of microbial species possess enzyme systems that are applicable for the decomposition of various aliphatic and aromatic toxic compounds. Intensive efforts to screen species with high‐degradation activity are needed to study their capabilities of degrading phenol and phenolic derivatives. Most of the current research has been directed at the isolation and study of microbial species of potential ecological significance. In this review, some of the best achievements in degrading phenolic compounds by bacteria and yeasts are presented, which draws attention to the high efficiency of strains of Pseudomonas, Candida tropicalis, Trichosporon cutaneum, etc. The unique ability of fungi to maintain their degradation potential under conditions unfavorable for other microorganisms is outstanding. Mathematical models of the microbial biodegradation dynamics of single and mixed aromatic compounds, which direct to the benefit of the processes studied in optimization of modern environmental biotechnology are also presented.
