Production of a novel copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyric acid and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoic acids by Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 from sugars

 Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 (isolated from soil) produced a polyester consisting of 3-hydroxybutyric acid (3HB) and of medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoic acids (3HA) of C₆, C₈, C₁₀ and C₁₂, when sugars of glucose, fructose and mannose were fed as the sole carbon source. The polyester produced was a blend of homopolymer and copolymer, which could be fractionated with boiling acetone. The acetone-insoluble fraction of the polyester was a homopolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate units [poly (3HB)], while the acetone-soluble fraction was a copolymer [poly(3HB-co-3HA)] containing both short- and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoate units ranging from C₄ to C₁₂:44 mol% 3-hydroxybutyrate, 5 mol% 3-hydroxyhexanoate, 21 mol% 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 25 mol% 3-hydroxydecanoate, 2 mol% 3-hydroxydodecanoate and 3 mol% 3-hydroxy-5-cis-dodecenoate. The copolyester was shown to be a random copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoate units by analysis of the ¹³C-NMR spectrum. The poly(3HB) homopolymer and poly (3HB-co-3HA) copolymer were produced simultaneously within cells from glucose in the absence of any nitrogen source, which suggests that Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 has two types of polyhydroxy-alkanoate syntheses with different substrate specificities.

α-Lipoic acid dependent regeneration of ascorbic acid from dehydroascorbic acid in rat liver mitochondria

Rat liver mitochondria were examined for their ability to reduce dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid in an -lipoic acid dependent or independent manner. The a-lipoic acid dependent reduction was stimulated by factors that increased the NADH dependent reduction of -lipoic acid to dihydrolipoic acid in coupled reactions. Optimal conditions for dehydroascorbic acid reduction to ascorbic acid were achieved in the presence of pyruvate, -lipoic acid, and ATP. Electron transport inhibitors, rotenone and antimycin A, further enhanced the dehydroascorbic acid reduction. The reactions were strongly inhibited by 1 mM iodoacetamide or sodium arsenite. Mitoplasts were qualitatively similar to intact mitochondria in dehydroascorbate reduction activity. Pyruvate dehydrogenase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase reduced dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid in an -lipoic acid, coenzyme A, and pyruvate or -ketoglutarate dependent fashion. Dehydroascorbic acid was also catalytically reduced to ascorbic acid by purified lipoamide dehydrogenase in an -lipoic acid (K _0.5=1.4±0.8 mM) and lipoamide (K _0.5=0.9±0.3 mM) dependent manner.     

T cells in murine lupus: propagation and regulation of disease

MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr mice develop a spontaneous lupus syndrome, including hypergammaglobulinemia, autoantibodies, glomerulonephritis, and lymphadenopathy. To investigate the role of lymphocyte subsets in the pathogenesis of disease, lupus-prone MRL mice deficient in T cells, T cells, or both were generated. Mice deficient in T cells developed a partially penetrant lupus syndrome, characterized by lymphadenopathy, elevated levels of class-switched immunoglobulins, an increased incidence of antinuclear antibodies, and immune deposits in kidneys which progressed to renal insufficiency over time. In comparison to wild type animals, T cell-deficient animals developed an accelerated and exacerbated disease phenotype, characterized by accelerated hypergammaglobulinemia and enhanced autoantibody production and mortality. Repertoire analysis of these latter animals identified polyclonal expansion (V) of CD4+B220-cells. Mice lacking both and T cells failed to generate class-switched autoantibodies and immune complex renal disease. First, these findings demonstrate that murine lupus in the setting of Fas-deficiency does not absolutely require the presence of T cells, and they also suggest that a significant basis for MRL/lpr disease, including renal disease, involves T cell-independent, T cell dependent, polyreactive B cell autoimmunity, upon which T cell-dependent mechanisms aggravate specific autoimmune responses. Second, these data indicate that T cells partake in the regulation of systemic autoimmunity, presumably via their effects on CD4+B220-T cells that provide B cell help. Finally, these results demonstrate that MRL/lpr B cells, despite their intrinsic abnormalities, cannot per se cause tissue injury without T cell help.Abbreviations snRNPs small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles     

Ethanolic fermentation of xylose with Saccharomyces cerevisiae harboring the Thermus thermophilus xylA gene, which expresses an active xylose (glucose) isomerase.

The Thermus thermophilus xylA gene encoding xylose (glucose) isomerase was cloned and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the yeast PGK1 promoter. The recombinant xylose isomerase showed the highest activity at 85 degrees C with a specific activity of 1.0 U mg-1. A new functional metabolic pathway in S. cerevisiae with ethanol formation during oxygen-limited xylose fermentation was demonstrated. Xylitol and acetic acid were also formed during the fermentation.
