The molecular integrity of the active site of phytases from fungi is critical for maintaining phytase function as efficient catalytic
machines. In this study, the molecular dynamics (MD) of two monomers of phytase B from Aspergillus niger, the disulfide intact
monomer (NAP) and a monomer with broken disulfide bonds (RAP), were simulated to explore the conformational basis of the
loss of catalytic activity when disulfide bonds are broken. The simulations indicated that the overall secondary and tertiary
structures of the two monomers were nearly identical but differed in some crucial secondary–structural elements in the vicinity of
the disulfide bonds and catalytic site. Disulfide bonds stabilize the β-sheet that contains residue Arg66 of the active site and
destabilize the α-helix that contains the catalytic residue Asp319. This stabilization and destabilization lead to changes in the shape
of the active–site pocket. Functionally important hydrogen bonds and atomic fluctuations in the catalytic pocket change during the
RAP simulation. None of the disulfide bonds are in or near the catalytic pocket but are most likely essential for maintaining the
native conformation of the catalytic site.

AM‐19226 is a pathogenic, non‐O1/non‐O139 serogroup strain of Vibrio cholerae that uses a Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) mediated mechanism to colonize host tissues and disrupt homeostasis, causing cholera. Co‐culturing the Caco2‐BBE human intestinal epithelial cell line with AM‐19226 in the presence of bile results in rapid mammalian cell death that requires a functional T3SS. We examined the role of bile, sought to identify the mechanism, and evaluated the contributions of T3SS translocated effectors in in vitro cell death. Our results suggest that Caco2‐BBE cytotoxicity does not proceed by apoptotic or necrotic mechanisms, but rather displays characteristics consistent with osmotic lysis. Cell death was preceded by disassembly of epithelial junctions and reorganization of the cortical membrane skeleton, although neither cell death nor cell‐cell disruption required VopM or VopF, two effectors known to alter actin dynamics. Using deletion strains, we identified a subset of AM‐19226 Vops that are required for host cell death, which were previously assigned roles in protein translocation and colonization, suggesting that they function other than to promote cytotoxicity. The collective results therefore suggest that cooperative Vop activities are required to achieve cytotoxicity in vitro, or alternatively, that translocon pores destabilize the membrane in a bile dependent manner. 相似文献

The study was undertaken to understand effects and survival of S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), a zoonotic serovar, on maize seed germination and plant growth. All the four strains of S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium significantly reduced germination of maize seeds in sprouting plates as well as in soil. About > or =2.7x10(3) Salmonella cfu ml(-1) of soaking water, while > or =2.7x10(7) Salmonella cfu g(-1) soil were required to significantly inhibit germination of maize. Similar inhibition of germination could be observed using > or = 16 mg of bacteria free Salmonella cell lysate (CL) protein per g of soil or > or =0.5 mg of CL protein per ml of soaking water in sprouting plates. At the constant dose of 3.6x10(7) to 3.8x10(7) Salmonella cfu or 5 mg cell lysate protein ml(-1) of soaking water, four strains of Salmonella significantly reduced germination, however difference between strains was insignificant. After germination too, maize growth was affected both by Salmonella organism and CL with little strain-to-strain variation. All Salmonella persisted in growing plants from 15 to 35 days of plant age and up to 190 days in soil. Maize plants once grown for a week in sterile soil were resistant to invasion of S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium in their leaves even in doses as high as 7.6x10(9) cfu g(-1) of soil. Salmonella persisted better and longer in plants grown from contaminated seed sown in loam soil, but rarely in plants grew in sandy soil. All maize plants had Salmonella in their stumps even after 35 days of sowing irrespective of kind of soil, primary source of infection (soil or seed) and type of S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium strain. The study revealed that Salmonella is not only zoonotic but a phytopathogen also. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of endothelial cell function. Here, we investigated the role of a novel vascular endothelial‐associated lncRNA (VEAL2) in regulating endothelial permeability. Precise editing of veal2 loci in zebrafish (veal2 gib005Δ8/+) induced cranial hemorrhage. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that veal2 competes with diacylglycerol for interaction with protein kinase C beta‐b (Prkcbb) and regulates its kinase activity. Using PRKCB2 as bait, we identified functional ortholog of veal2 in humans from HUVECs and named it as VEAL2. Overexpression and knockdown of VEAL2 affected tubulogenesis and permeability in HUVECs. VEAL2 was differentially expressed in choroid tissue in eye and blood from patients with diabetic retinopathy, a disease where PRKCB2 is known to be hyperactivated. Further, VEAL2 could rescue the effects of PRKCB2‐mediated turnover of endothelial junctional proteins thus reducing hyperpermeability in hyperglycemic HUVEC model of diabetic retinopathy. Based on evidence from zebrafish and hyperglycemic HUVEC models and diabetic retinopathy patients, we report a hitherto unknown VEAL2 lncRNA‐mediated regulation of PRKCB2, for modulating junctional dynamics and maintenance of endothelial permeability. 相似文献
