Adsorption of plantaricin Q7 on montmorillonite and application in feedback regulation of plantaricin Q7 synthesis by Lactobacillus plantarum Q7

Kieselguhr, bentonite, and montmorillonite were investigated as potential carriers of plantaricin Q7. Highest level of adsorption of plantaricin Q7 was obtained with montmorillonite. Meanwhile, visible inhibition zones were observed against Listeria monocytogenes for montmorillonite adsorbed with plantaricin Q7. Adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption behaviour followed the pseudo‐first‐order and Weber's intra‐particle diffusion models, suggesting two steps had taken place during the adsorption process. X‐ray diffraction assays revealed that plantaricin Q7 was intercalated into the interlayer space of montmorillonites. Electrostatic, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions proved to play important roles in the mechanisms of interaction between montmorillonite and plantaricin Q7, as shown by infrared spectroscopy analysis. In addition, plantaricin Q7 production was inhibited by feedback regulation with its high concentrations. In order to remove product feedback inhibition in plantaricin Q7 production, a strategy was implemented for its adsorption onto montmorillonite during fermentation. The final plantaricin Q7 output reached 3713.40 IU/mL during fermentation using montmorillonite to adsorb plantaricin Q7, 41.61% higher than that of non‐ montmorillonite. These results indicate that montmorillonites are suitable carriers for plantaricin Q7 adsorption, and the adsorption of plantaricin Q7 onto montmorillonite during fermentation could be a good method to increase final plantaricin Q7 production.

The second coenzyme Q1 binding site of bovine heart NADH: coenzyme Q oxidoreductase

The rotenone sensitivity of bovine heart NADH: coenzyme Q oxidoreductase (Complex I) depends significantly on coenzyme Q₁ concentration. The rotenone-insensitive Complex I reaction in Q₁ concentration range above 300 M indicates an ordered sequential mechanism with Q₁ and reduced Q₁ (Q₁H₂) as the initial substrate to bind to the enzyme and the last product to be released from the enzyme product complex, respectively. This is the case in the rotenone-sensitive reaction although both K _m and V _max values of the rotenone-insensitive reaction for Q₁ are significantly higher than those of the rotenone-sensitive reaction (Nakashima et al., 2002, J. Bioenerg. Biomemb. 34, 11–19). This rigorous control mechanism between the nucleotide and ubiquinone binding sites strongly suggests that the rotenone-insensitive reaction is also physiologically relevant.     

Biosynthesis of coenzyme Q in eukaryotes

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is a component of the electron transport chain that participates in aerobic cellular respiration to produce ATP. In addition, CoQ acts as an electron acceptor in several enzymatic reactions involving oxidation–reduction. Biosynthesis of CoQ has been investigated mainly in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the findings have been extended to various higher organisms, including plants and humans. Analyses in yeast have contributed greatly to current understanding of human diseases related to CoQ biosynthesis. To date, human genetic disorders related to mutations in eight COQ biosynthetic genes have been reported. In addition, the crystal structures of a number of proteins involved in CoQ synthesis have been solved, including those of IspB, UbiA, UbiD, UbiX, UbiI, Alr8543 (Coq4 homolog), Coq5, ADCK3, and COQ9. Over the last decade, knowledge of CoQ biosynthesis has accumulated, and striking advances in related human genetic disorders and the crystal structure of proteins required for CoQ synthesis have been made. This review focuses on the biosynthesis of CoQ in eukaryotes, with some comparisons to the process in prokaryotes.     

Coenzyme Q is irreplaceable by demethoxy-coenzyme Q in plasma membrane of Caenorhabditis elegans

A procedure was developed to isolate fractions enriched in plasma membrane from Caenorhabditis elegans. Coenzyme Q9 (Q9) was found in plasma membrane isolated from either wild-type or long-lived qm30 and qm51 clk-1 mutant strains of Caenorhabditis elegans, along with dietary coenzyme Q8 (Q8) and the biosynthetic intermediate demethoxy-Q9 (DMQ9). NADH was able to reduce both Q8 and Q9, but not DMQ9. Our results indicate that DMQ9 cannot achieve the same redox role of Q9 in plasma membrane, suggesting that proportion of all these Q isoforms in plasma membrane must be an important factor in establishing the clk-1 mutant phenotype.

Fusicoccins P and Q,and 3-Epifusicoccins H and Q,New Polar Fusicoccins from Isolate Niigata 2-A of a Peach Fusicoccum Canker Fungus

Our search for new polar fusicoccins biosynthetically related to fusicoccin A from the culture filtrate of isolate Niigata 2-A of a peach Fusicoccum canker fungus resulted in the isolation of new fusicoccins named fusicoccins P and Q, and 3-epifusicoccins H and Q, together with 3′-deacetylfusicoccin A and 16-O-demethyl-3-epifusicoccin J. The structures of fusicoccins P and Q, and of 3-epifusicoccin Q were determined to be those of deisopentenylfusicoccin J, 12α-hydroxyfusicoccin H and 12α-hydroxy-3-epifusicoccin H, respectively, by NMR spectrometry and chemical derivation from known fusicoccins. 3-Epifusicoccin H was identified by comparing its 400 MHz NMR spectra with those of fusicoccin H. The lettuce seed germination-stimulating activity of these new fusicoccins was examined in the presence of ABA: fusicoccin P was highly active, while 3-epifusicoccins H and Q were slightly active, and fusicoccins H and Q were almost inactive. Possible biosynthetic pathways incorporating these new fusicoccins and 3-epifusicoccins from geranylgeranyl diphosphate to 3′-deacetlyfusicoccin A and 16-O-demethyl-3-epifusicoccin J are discussed.     

中国汉族人群ENPP1基因K121Q多态与2型糖尿病的关联及Meta分析

多个欧洲白人的Meta分析表明核苷酸焦磷酸酶1(Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1, ENPP1)基因K121Q多态与2型糖尿病相关联, 但在日本人、韩国人和中国台湾人的研究中没有发现相关性, 而在中国大陆人群中二者的关联研究结果不尽一致。文章调查了湖北地区539例2型糖尿病患者和404名正常人ENPP1基因K121Q多态性。基因型及等位基因频率在病例组和对照组间没有显著差异(P＞0.05), 但经性别、年龄和体重指数调整后的Logistic回归分析揭示XQ基因型与2型糖尿病显著相关(OR=1.5, 95%CI: 1.39~1.62, P<0.001)。对性别进行的亚组分析显示, 女性病例组Q等位基因和XQ基因型的频率显著高于对照组(Q: 12.4% vs. 6.1%, P=0.001; XQ: 23.7% vs. 11.7%, P=0.001)。结果表明ENPP1基因K121Q多态与湖北汉族人2型糖尿病的关联存在性别差异, 在女性中更明显。文章是对中国大陆人群进行的第一个Meta分析, 结果显示Q等位基因增加2型糖尿病的发病风险(OR=1.42, P=0.042)。
