Partially purified preparations of glucocycloaldolase from Neurospora crassa show an absolute requirement for NAD+. The experimental findings in this paper indicate that the conditions of isolation used determine whether or not glucocycloaldolase activity can be detected in the absence of added NAD+. The protective action of glycerol and (NH4)2SO4 on this so-called “NAD+-independent” activity was studied. 相似文献

NAD kinase activity has been found in a soluble, cytoplasmic fraction and in the chloroplasts prepared from green spinach leaves. A small amount of both the cytoplasmic and the chloroplastic NAD kinase activities was retained on a calmodulin-Sepharose affinity column. The cytoplasmic NAD kinase eluted from the affinity column was found to be enhanced by calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner. The chloroplastic enzyme which is located exclusively in the stroma and not in the envelope and thylakoid fractions was not affected by Ca2+ and calmodulin. The stromal fraction of purified chloroplasts contained only a negligible amount of calmodulin, most probably due to cytoplasmic contamination. Based on these data, two different mechanisms for the light-dependent modulation of spinach NAD kinase activity are suggested. 相似文献

Riboswitches are important gene regulatory elements frequently encountered in bacterial mRNAs. The recently discovered nadA riboswitch contains two similar, tandemly arrayed aptamer domains, with the first domain possessing high affinity for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). The second domain which comprises the ribosomal binding site in a putative regulatory helix, however, has withdrawn from detection of ligand-induced structural modulation thus far, and therefore, the identity of the cognate ligand and the regulation mechanism have remained unclear. Here, we report crystal structures of both riboswitch domains, each bound to NAD+. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ligand binding to domain 2 requires significantly higher concentrations of NAD+ (or ADP retaining analogs) compared to domain 1. Using a fluorescence spectroscopic approach, we further shed light on the structural features which are responsible for the different ligand affinities, and describe the Mg2+-dependent, distinct folding and pre-organization of their binding pockets. Finally, we speculate about possible scenarios for nadA RNA gene regulation as a putative two-concentration sensor module for a time-controlled signal that is primed and stalled by the gene regulation machinery at low ligand concentrations (domain 1), and finally triggers repression of translation as soon as high ligand concentrations are reached in the cell (domain 2). 相似文献

l-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4, MIPS), an evolutionarily conserved enzyme protein, catalyzes the synthesis of inositol, which is implicated in a number of metabolic reactions in the biological kingdom. Here we report on the isolation of the gene (PINO1) for a novel salt-tolerant MIPS from the wild halophytic rice, Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka. Identity of the PINO1 gene was confirmed by functional complementation in a yeast inositol auxotrophic strain. Comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of PINO1 with that of the homologous gene from Oryza sativa L. (RINO1) revealed distinct differences in a stretch of 37 amino acids, between amino acids 174 and 210. Purified bacterially expressed PINO1 protein demonstrated a salt-tolerant character in vitro compared with the salt-sensitive RINO1 protein as with those purified from the native source or an expressed salt-sensitive mutant PINO1 protein wherein amino acids 174-210 have been deleted. Analysis of the salt effect on oligomerization and tryptophan fluorescence of the RINO1 and PINO1 proteins revealed that the structure of PINO1 protein is stable toward salt environment. Furthermore, introgression of PINO1 rendered transgenic tobacco plants capable of growth in 200-300 mm NaCl with retention of approximately 40-80% of the photosynthetic competence with concomitant increased inositol production compared with unstressed control. MIPS protein isolated from PINO1 transgenics showed salt-tolerant property in vitro confirming functional expression in planta of the PINO1 gene. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a salt-tolerant MIPS from any source. 相似文献

The salt-tolerant varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) exhibit enhanced activity of the chloroplast form of L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.4.1) under NaCl treatment either during the seedling stage or in fully grown plants during field growth. The salt-induced enhancement was noticeable only in chloroplasts from light-grown plants. The effects of these treatments on the cytosolic inositol synthase activity were less pronounced. While the effect of salt on the activity of the two forms was marginal in the salt-sensitive varieties during seedling growth, salinity affected the chloroplast inositol synthase activity adversely in these varieties during growth of the plants under field conditions. The salt-enhanced activities of inositol synthase(s) in the highly salt-tolerant varieties studied were found to be comparable to that observed in Porteresia coarctata, a halophytic wild rice species. The implications of these findings, which suggest a role of the inositol pathway in osmoregulation, are discussed. 相似文献

Proteins of the SIR2 (Silent Information Regulator 2) family are characterized by a conserved catalytic domain that exerts unique NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase activity on histones and various other cellular substrates. Previous reports from us have identified a Leishmania infantum gene encoding a cytosolic protein termed LiSIR2RP1 (Leishmania infantum SIR2-related protein 1) that belongs to the SIR2 family. Targeted disruption of one LiSIR2RP1 gene allele led to decreased amastigote virulence, in vitro as well as in vivo. In the present study, attempts were made for the first time to explore and characterize the enzymatic functions of LiSIR2RP1. The LiSIR2RP1 exhibited robust NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities. Moreover, LiSIR2RP1 is capable of deacetylating tubulin, either in dimers or, when present, in taxol-stabilized microtubules or in promastigote and amastigote extracts. Furthermore, the immunostaining of parasites revealed a partial co-localization of alpha-tubulin and LiSIR2RP1 with punctate labelling, seen on the periphery of both promastigote and amastigote stages. Isolated parasite cytoskeleton reacted with antibodies showed that part of LiSIR2RP1 is associated to the cytoskeleton network of both promastigote and amastigote forms. Moreover, the Western blot analysis of the soluble and insoluble fractions of the detergent of promastigote and amastigote forms revealed the presence of alpha-tubulin in the insoluble fraction, and the LiSIR2RP1 distributed in both soluble and insoluble fractions of promastigotes as well as amastigotes. Collectively, the results of the present study demonstrate that LiSIR2RP1 is an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that also exerts an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The fact that tubulin could be among the targets of LiSIR2RP1 may have significant implications during the remodelling of the morphology of the parasite and its interaction with the host cell. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that introgression of PcINO1 gene from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, coding for a novel salt-tolerant L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) protein, confers salt tolerance to transgenic tobacco plants (Majee, M., Maitra, S., Dastidar, K.G., Pattnaik, S., Chatterjee, A., Hait, N.C., Das, K.P. and Majumder, A.L. (2004) A novel salt-tolerant L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, a halophytic wild rice: molecular cloning, bacterial overexpression, characterization, and functional introgression into tobacco-conferring salt-tolerance phenotype. J. Biol. Chem. 279, 28539-28552). In this communication we have shown that functional introgression of the PcINO1 gene confers salt-tolerance to evolutionary diverse organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes including crop plants albeit to a variable extent. A direct correlation between unabated increased synthesis of inositol under salinity stress by the PcINO1 gene product and salt tolerance has been demonstrated for all the systems pointing towards the universality of the application across evolutionary divergent taxa. 相似文献

Improving crop tolerance to osmotic stresses is a longstanding goal of agricultural biotechnology. In the present work the PcINO1 gene coding for a salt-tolerant L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) from Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka, a halophytic wild rice was introgressed into cultivated mustard, Brassica juncea var B85. The transgenic plants demonstrate increased tolerance to salinity and oxidative stress with elevated level of inositol in both roots and shoots. The yield and crop quality of transgenic Brassica plants remain uncompromised and the plants were able to stably grow, set seeds and germinate in saline environments. When targeted to seeds of Nicotiana, PcINO1 was able to improve the seed survival rate under salinity and dehydration. Inositol and its derivatives regulate stress responses in various ways, serving as compatible solutes or signaling molecules. It is implicated that engineering inositol metabolism may affect the plant metabolic network leading to a stress tolerant phenotype as enumerated here in transgenic crop plants. How inositol itself or its derivatives affect the overall metabolic pathways leading to a stress-tolerant phenotype remains an intriguing question for future investigations. 相似文献

Background
Trehalose is the most important multifunctional, non-reducing disaccharide found in nature. It is synthesized in yeast by an enzyme complex: trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP).Methods
In the present study TPS is purified using a new methodology from Candida utilis cells by inclusion of 100 mM l-arginine during cell lysis and in the mobile phase of high performance gel filtration liquid chromatography (HPGFLC).Results
An electrophoretically homogenous TPS that was purified was a 60 kDa protein with 22.1 fold purification having a specific activity of 2.03 U/mg. Alignment of the N-terminal sequence with TPS from Saccharomyces cerevisiae confirmed the 60 kDa protein to be TPS. Optimum activity of TPS was observed at a protein concentration of 1 μg, at a temperature of 37 °C and pH 8.5. Aggregation mediated enzyme regulation was indicated. Metal cofactors, especially MnCl2, MgCl2 and ZnSO4, acted as stimulators. Metal chelators like CDTA and EGTA stimulated enzyme activity. Among the four glucosyl donors, the highest Vmax and lowest Km values were calculated as 2.96 U/mg and 1.36 mM when adenosine di phosphate synthase (ADPG) was used as substrate. Among the glucosyl acceptors, glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) showed maximum activity followed by fructose-6-phosphate (F-6-P). Polyanions heparin and chondroitin sulfate were seen to stimulate TPS activity with different glucosyl donors.General significance
Substrate specificity, Vmax and Km values provided an insight into an altered trehalose metabolic pathway in the C. utilis strain where ADPG is the preferred substrate rather than the usual substrate uridine diphosphaphate glucose (UDPG). The present work employs a new purification strategy as well as highlights an altered pathway in C. utilis. 相似文献15.
In many organisms, trehalose protects against several environmental stresses, such as heat, desiccation, and salt, probably by stabilizing protein structures and lipid membranes. Trehalose synthesis in yeast is mediated by a complex of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS1) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPS2). In this study, genes encoding TPS1 and TPS2 were isolated from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii (designated ZrTPS1 and ZrTPS2, respectively). They were functionally identified by their complementation of the tps1 and tps2 yeast deletion mutants, which are unable to grow on glucose medium and with heat, respectively. Full-length ZrTPS1 cDNA is composed of 1476 nucleotides encoding a protein of 492 amino acids with a molecular mass of 56 kDa. ZrTPS2 cDNA consists of 2843 nucleotides with an open reading frame of 2700 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 900 amino acids with a molecular mass of 104 kDa. The amino acid sequence encoded by ZrTPS1 has relatively high homology with TPS1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, compared with TPS2. Western blot analysis showed that the antibody against S. cerevisiae TPS1 recognizes ZrTPS1. Under normal growth conditions, ZrTPS1 and ZrTPS2 were highly and constitutively expressed, unlike S. cerevisiae TPS1 and TPS2. Salt stress and heat stress reduced the expression of the ZrTPS1 and ZrTPS2 genes, respectively. 相似文献

The evolutionarily conserved soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, ADCY10) mediates cAMP signaling exclusively in intracellular compartments. Because sAC activity is sensitive to local concentrations of ATP, bicarbonate, and free Ca2+, sAC is potentially an important metabolic sensor. Nonetheless, little is known about how sAC regulates energy metabolism in intact cells. In this study, we demonstrated that both pharmacological and genetic suppression of sAC resulted in increased lactate secretion and decreased pyruvate secretion in multiple cell lines and primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. The increased extracellular lactate-to-pyruvate ratio upon sAC suppression reflected an increased cytosolic free [NADH]/[NAD+] ratio, which was corroborated by using the NADH/NAD+ redox biosensor Peredox-mCherry. Mechanistic studies in permeabilized HepG2 cells showed that sAC inhibition specifically suppressed complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. A survey of cAMP effectors revealed that only selective inhibition of exchange protein activated by cAMP 1 (Epac1), but not protein kinase A (PKA) or Epac2, suppressed complex I-dependent respiration and significantly increased the cytosolic NADH/NAD+ redox state. Analysis of the ATP production rate and the adenylate energy charge showed that inhibiting sAC reciprocally affects ATP production by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation while maintaining cellular energy homeostasis. In conclusion, our study shows that, via the regulation of complex I-dependent mitochondrial respiration, sAC-Epac1 signaling regulates the cytosolic NADH/NAD+ redox state, and coordinates oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis to maintain cellular energy homeostasis. As such, sAC is effectively a bioenergetic switch between aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation at the post-translational level. 相似文献

An alkali metal ion-sensitive NAD+-specific glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been purified 250-fold from germinating green gram (Phaseolus aurieus). The purified enzyme shows a single protein band on gel electrophoresis. It has been shown to be a tetrameric protein (molecular weight 160,000) made up of apparently identical monomers (subunit molecular weight 40,000). It shows an ratio equal to 1.38, which is not changed on treatment with animal charcoal or cellulosic ion exchangers. Direct estimation shows less than 0.07 mol bound NAD+/mol enzyme. Green gram glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is inhibited fairly strongly at physiological concentrations of Na+ ions. The inhibition is stronger at higher pH and lower protein concentration. Deproteinated extract, cysteine, and reduced glutathione reverse the Na+ ion inhibition. The effect of deproteinated extract is attributable to the presence of some SH-containing compounds. Potassium and rubidium ions have a mild activating effect at lower concentration (below 100 mm) and are inhibitory at higher, nonphysiological, concentrations. Ammonium and lithium ions have no effect. The inhibition due to Na+ ions is noncompetitive with respect to NAD+ and phosphate ions but competitive with respect to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, with Ki about 60 mm. Sodium ions protect the enzyme against proteolysis with trypsin. It is suggested that Na+ ions and the small molecular weight SH-compounds may possibly be involved in regulation of the overall rate of glycolysis via modulation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. 相似文献

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+, is a small metabolite coenzyme that is essential for the progress of crucial cellular pathways including glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and mitochondrial respiration. These processes consume and produce both oxidative and reduced forms of NAD (NAD+ and NADH). NAD+ is also important for ADP(ribosyl)ation reactions mediated by the ADP-ribosyltransferase enzymes (ARTDs) or deacetylation reactions catalyzed by the sirtuins (SIRTs) which use NAD+ as a substrate. In this review, we highlight the significance of NAD+ catabolism in DNA repair and cell death through its utilization by ARTDs and SIRTs. We summarize the current findings on the involvement of ARTD1 activity in DNA repair and most specifically its involvement in the trigger of cell death mediated by ARTD1 activation and energy depletion. By sharing the same substrate, the activities of ARTDs and SIRTs are tightly linked, are dependent on each other and are thereby involved in the same cellular processes that play an important role in cancer biology, inflammatory diseases and ischaemia/reperfusion. 相似文献
