Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is an indispensable nutrient for humans and animals, since it is the precursor of the essential coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), involved in variety of metabolic reactions. Riboflavin is produced on commercial scale and is used for feed and food fortification purposes, and in medicine. Until recently, the mutant strains of the flavinogenic yeast Candida famata were used in industry for riboflavin production. Guanosine triphosphate is the immediate precursor of riboflavin synthesis. Therefore, the activation of metabolic flux toward purine nucleotide biosynthesis is a promising approach to improve riboflavin production. The phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase are the rate limiting enzymes in purine biosynthesis. Corresponding genes PRS3 and ADE4 from yeast Debaryomyces hansenii are modified to avoid feedback inhibition and cooverexpressed on the background of a previously constructed riboflavin overproducing strain of C. famata. Constructed strain accumulates twofold more riboflavin when compared to the parental strain. 相似文献

Pichia guilliermondii is a representative of yeast species that overproduce riboflavin (vitamin B2) in response to iron deprivation. P. guilliermondii
YFH1 gene coding for frataxin homologue, eukaryotic mitochondrial protein involved in iron trafficking and storage, was identified
and deleted. Constructed P. guilliermondii Δyfh1 mutant grew very poorly in a sucrose-containing synthetic medium supplemented with sulfate or sulfite as a sole sulfur source.
Addition of sodium sulfide, glutathione, cysteine, methionine, N-acetyl-l-cysteine partially restored growth rate of the mutant suggesting that it is impaired in sulfate assimilation. Cellular iron
content in Δyfh1 mutant was ~3–3.5 times higher as compared to the parental strain. It produced 50–70 times more riboflavin in iron sufficient
synthetic media relative to the parental wild-type strain. Biomass yield of the mutant in the synthetic glutathione containing
medium supplemented with glycerol as a sole carbon source was 1.4- and 2.6-fold increased as compared to sucrose and succinate
containing media, respectively. Oxygen uptake of the Δyfh1 mutant on sucrose, glycerol or succinate, when compared to the parental strain, was decreased 5.5-, 1.7- and 1.5-fold, respectively.
Substitution of sucrose or glycerol in the synthetic iron sufficient medium with succinate completely abolished riboflavin
overproduction by the mutants. Deletion of the YFH1 gene caused hypersensitivity to hydrogen peroxide and exogenously added riboflavin and led to alterations in superoxide dismutase
activities. Thus, deletion of the gene coding for yeast frataxin homologue has pleiotropic effect on metabolism in P. guilliermondii. 相似文献

With the advance of experimental procedures obtaining chemical crosslinking information is becoming a fast and routine practice. Information on crosslinks can greatly enhance the accuracy of protein structure modeling. Here, we review the current state of the art in modeling protein structures with the assistance of experimentally determined chemical crosslinks within the framework of the 13th meeting of Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction approaches. This largest-to-date blind assessment reveals benefits of using data assistance in difficult to model protein structure prediction cases. However, in a broader context, it also suggests that with the unprecedented advance in accuracy to predict contacts in recent years, experimental crosslinks will be useful only if their specificity and accuracy further improved and they are better integrated into computational workflows. 相似文献

Clinical trials of cefoperazone (cefobid, Pfizer, USA) were carried out in 49 patients with cardiovascular diseases who had undergone surgical operations. The pathogens of infectious complications were investigated bacteriologically. Good results of the treatment were observed in 43 patients. Allergic reaction developed in 1 patient. Cefoperazone was shown advantageous in treatment of pulmonary complications in the operated patients. It was found possible to use cefoperazone in combination with aminoglycosides. Cefoperazone was found to be one of the drugs of choice in the treatment of aerobic and anaerobic bacteriemia, as well as sepsis after surgical operations on the heart and great vessels. The results on the use of cefoperazone for short-term "perioperative" prophylaxis in cardiosurgery (in accordance with the WHO instructions) are also presented. 相似文献

MicroRNA-1 and -133 increase arrhythmogenesis in heart failure by dissociating phosphatase activity from RyR2 complex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Belevych AE Sansom SE Terentyeva R Ho HT Nishijima Y Martin MM Jindal HK Rochira JA Kunitomo Y Abdellatif M Carnes CA Elton TS Györke S Terentyev D 《PloS one》2011,6(12):e28324
In heart failure (HF), arrhythmogenic spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release and afterdepolarizations in cardiac myocytes have been linked to abnormally high activity of ryanodine receptors (RyR2s) associated with enhanced phosphorylation of the channel. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying RyR2 hyperphosphorylation in HF remain poorly understood. The objective of the current study was to test the hypothesis that the enhanced expression of muscle-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) underlies the HF-related alterations in RyR2 phosphorylation in ventricular myocytes by targeting phosphatase activity localized to the RyR2. We studied hearts isolated from canines with chronic HF exhibiting increased left ventricular (LV) dimensions and decreased LV contractility. qRT-PCR revealed that the levels of miR-1 and miR-133, the most abundant muscle-specific miRNAs, were significantly increased in HF myocytes compared with controls (2- and 1.6-fold, respectively). Western blot analyses demonstrated that expression levels of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) catalytic and regulatory subunits, which are putative targets of miR-133 and miR-1, were decreased in HF cells. PP2A catalytic subunit mRNAs were validated as targets of miR-133 by using luciferase reporter assays. Pharmacological inhibition of phosphatase activity increased the frequency of diastolic Ca(2+) waves and afterdepolarizations in control myocytes. The decreased PP2A activity observed in HF was accompanied by enhanced Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII)-mediated phosphorylation of RyR2 at sites Ser-2814 and Ser-2030 and increased frequency of diastolic Ca(2+) waves and afterdepolarizations in HF myocytes compared with controls. In HF myocytes, CaMKII inhibitory peptide normalized the frequency of pro-arrhythmic spontaneous diastolic Ca(2+) waves. These findings suggest that altered levels of major muscle-specific miRNAs contribute to abnormal RyR2 function in HF by depressing phosphatase activity localized to the channel, which in turn, leads to the excessive phosphorylation of RyR2s, abnormal Ca(2+) cycling, and increased propensity to arrhythmogenesis. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that exposure of cells to high levels of replicational stress leads to permanent proliferation arrest that does not require p53. We have examined cellular responses to therapeutically relevant low levels of replicational stress that allow limited proliferation. Chronic exposure to low concentrations of hydroxyurea, aphidicolin, or etoposide induced irreversible cell cycle arrest after several population doublings. Inhibition of p53 activity antagonized this arrest and enhanced the long-term proliferation of p53 mutant cells. p21CIP1 was found to be a critical p53 target for arrest induced by hydroxyurea or aphidicolin, but not etoposide, as judged by the ability of p21CIP1 suppression to mimic the effects of p53 disruption. Suppression of Rad51 expression, required for homologous recombination repair, blocked the ability of mutant p53 to antagonize arrest induced by etoposide, but not aphidicolin. Thus, the ability of mutant p53 to prevent arrest induced by replicational stress per se is primarily dependent on preventing p21CIP1 up-regulation. However, when replication stress is associated with DNA strand breaks (such as with etoposide), up-regulation of homologous recombination repair in response to p53 disruption becomes important. Since replicational stress leads to clonal selection of cells with p53 mutations, our results highlight the potential importance of chronic replicational stress in promoting cancer development. 相似文献

Amid known microbial bioethanol producers, the yeast Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitis is particularly promising in terms of alcoholic fermentation of both glucose and xylose, the main constituents of lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates. However, the ethanol yield and productivity, especially from xylose, are still insufficient to meet the requirements of a feasible industrial technology; therefore, the construction of more efficient S. stipitis ethanol producers is of great significance. The aim of this study was to isolate the insertional mutants of S. stipitis with altered ethanol production from glucose and xylose and to identify the disrupted gene(s). Mutants obtained by random insertional mutagenesis were screened for their growth abilities on solid media with different sugars and for resistance to 3-bromopyruvate. Of more than 1,300 screened mutants, 17 were identified to have significantly changed ethanol yields during the fermentation. In one of the best fermenting strains (strain 4.6), insertion was found to occur within the ORF of a homolog to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene HEM25 (YDL119C), encoding a mitochondrial glycine transporter required for heme synthesis. The role of HEM25 in heme accumulation, respiration, and alcoholic fermentation in the yeast S. stipitis was studied using strain 4.6, the complementation strain Comp—a derivative from the 4.6 strain with expression of the WT HEM25 allele and the deletion strain hem25Δ. As hem25Δ produced lower amounts of ethanol than strain 4.6, we assume that the phenotype of strain 4.6 may be caused not only by HEM25 disruption but additionally by some point mutation. 相似文献
