Project description:The hormonal action of abscisic acid (ABA) in plants is controlled by the precise balance between its biosynthesis and catabolism. In plants, ABA 8'-hydroxylation is thought to play a predominant role in ABA catabolism. ABA 8'-hydroxylase was shown to be a cytochrome P450 (P450); however, its corresponding gene had not been identified. Through phylogenetic and DNA microarray analyses during seed imbibition, the candidate genes for this enzyme were narrowed down from 272 Arabidopsis P450 genes. These candidate genes were functionally expressed in yeast to reveal that members of the CYP707A family, CYP707A1-CYP707A4, encode ABA 8'-hydroxylases. Expression analyses revealed that CYP707A2 is responsible for the rapid decrease in ABA level during seed imbibition. During drought stress conditions, all CYP707A genes were upregulated, and upon rehydration a significant increase in mRNA level was observed. Consistent with the expression analyses, cyp707a2 mutants exhibited hyperdormancy in seeds and accumulated six-fold greater ABA content than wild type. These results demonstrate that CYP707A family genes play a major regulatory role in controlling the level of ABA in plants.

Project description:Tanshinone ⅡA (TⅡA), a diterpene quinone with a furan ring, is a bioactive compound found in the medicinal herb redroot sage (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), in which both furan and dihydrofuran analogs are present in abundance. Progress has been made recently in elucidating the tanshinone biosynthetic pathway, including heterocyclization of the dihydrofuran D-ring by cytochrome P450s; however, dehydrogenation of dihydrofuran to furan, a key step of furan ring formation, remains uncharacterized. Here, by differential transcriptome mining, we identified six 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2-ODD) genes whose expressions corresponded to tanshinone biosynthesis. We showed that Sm2-ODD14 acts as a dehydrogenase catalyzing the furan ring aromatization. In vitro Sm2-ODD14 converted cryptotanshinone to TⅡA and thus was designated TⅡA synthase (SmTⅡAS). Furthermore, SmTⅡAS showed a strict substrate specificity, and repression of SmTⅡAS expression in hairy root by RNAi led to increased accumulation of total dihydrofuran-tanshinones and decreased production of furan-tanshinones. We conclude that SmTⅡAS controls the metabolite flux from dihydrofuran- to furan-tanshinones, which influences medicinal properties of S. miltiorrhiza.

Project description:Seeds of root parasitic plants, Striga, Orobanche and Phelipanche spp., are induced to germinate by strigolactones (SLs) exudated from host roots. In Striga-resistant cultivars of Sorghum bicolor, the loss-of-function of the Low Germination Stimulant 1 (LGS1) gene changes the major SL from 5-deoxystrigol (5DS) to orobanchol, which has an opposite C-ring stereochemistry. The biosynthetic pathway of 5DS catalyzed by LGS1 has not been fully elucidated. Since other unknown regulators, in addition to LGS1 encoding a sulfotransferase, appear to be necessary for the stereoselective biosynthesis of 5DS, we examined Sobic.005G213500 (Sb3500), encoding a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase, as a candidate regulator, which is co-expressed with LGS1 and located 5'-upstream of LGS1 in the sorghum genome. When LGS1 was expressed with known SL biosynthetic enzyme genes including the cytochrome P450 SbMAX1a in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, 5DS and its diastereomer 4-deoxyorobanchol (4DO) were produced in approximately equal amounts, while the production of 5DS was significantly larger than that of 4DO when Sb3500 was also co-expressed. We also confirmed the stereoselective 5DS production in an in vitro feeding experiment using synthetic chemicals with recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli and yeast. This finding demonstrates that Sb3500 is a stereoselective regulator in the conversion of the SL precursor carlactone to 5DS, catalyzed by LGS1 and SbMAX1a, providing a detailed understanding of how different SLs are produced to combat parasitic weed infestations.

Project description:Highly oxidized tanshinones are pharmacological ingredients extracted from the medicinal model plant Salvia miltiorrhiza and are mainly used to treat cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have confirmed that cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases (CYP450s) have a key function in the biosynthesis of tanshinones; however, no solid evidence links oxidation to the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2OGD) superfamily. Here, we identified 132 members of the DOXB and DOXC subfamilies of 2OGD by scanning the 2OG-FeII Oxy domain using a genome-wide strategy in S. miltiorrhiza. The DOXC class was phylogenetically divided into twelve clades. Combining phylogenetic relationships, differential expression and co-expression from various organs and tissues revealed that two 2OGDs were directly related to flavonoid metabolism, and that 13 2OGDs from different clades were predicted to be involved in tanshinone biosynthesis. Based on this insight into tanshinone production, we experimentally detected significant decreases in miltirone, cryptotanshinone, and tanshinone IIA (0.16-, 0.56-, and 0.56-fold, respectively) in 2OGD5 RNAi transgenic lines relative to the control lines using a metabonomics analysis. 2OGD5 was found to play a crucial role in the downstream biosynthesis of tanshinones following the hydroxylation of CYPs. Our results highlight the evolution and diversification of 2OGD superfamily members and suggest that they contribute to the complexity of tanshinone metabolites.

Project description:Variants in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene are associated with increased body mass index in humans. Here, we show by bioinformatics analysis that FTO shares sequence motifs with Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases. We find that recombinant murine Fto catalyzes the Fe(II)- and 2OG-dependent demethylation of 3-methylthymine in single-stranded DNA, with concomitant production of succinate, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide. Consistent with a potential role in nucleic acid demethylation, Fto localizes to the nucleus in transfected cells. Studies of wild-type mice indicate that Fto messenger RNA (mRNA) is most abundant in the brain, particularly in hypothalamic nuclei governing energy balance, and that Fto mRNA levels in the arcuate nucleus are regulated by feeding and fasting. Studies can now be directed toward determining the physiologically relevant FTO substrate and how nucleic acid methylation status is linked to increased fat mass.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is a recently described endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecule that influences various cellular processes in the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and gastrointestinal tract. The biogenesis of H(2)S involves the cytoplasmic transsulfuration enzymes, cystathionine β-synthase and γ-cystathionase, whereas its catabolism occurs in the mitochondrion and couples to the energy-yielding electron transfer chain. Low steady-state levels of H(2)S appear to be controlled primarily by efficient oxygen-dependent catabolism via sulfide quinone oxidoreductase, persulfide dioxygenase (ETHE1), rhodanese, and sulfite oxidase. Mutations in the persulfide dioxgenase, i.e. ETHE1, result in ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an inborn error of metabolism. In this study, we report the biochemical characterization and kinetic properties of human persulfide dioxygenase and describe the biochemical penalties associated with two patient mutations, T152I and D196N. Steady-state kinetic analysis reveals that the T152I mutation results in a 3-fold lower activity, which is correlated with a 3-fold lower iron content compared with the wild-type enzyme. The D196N mutation results in a 2-fold higher K(m) for the substrate, glutathione persulfide.

Project description:The patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) have translocation t(11;14) associated with cyclin D1 overexpression. We observed that iron (an essential cofactor of dioxygenases including prolyl hydroxylases [PHDs]) depletion by deferoxamine blocked MCL cells' proliferation, increased expression of DNA damage marker γH2AX, induced cell cycle arrest and decreased cyclin D1 level. Treatment of MCL cell lines with dimethyloxalylglycine, which blocks dioxygenases involving PHDs by competing with their substrate 2-oxoglutarate, leads to their decreased proliferation and the decrease of cyclin D1 level. We then postulated that loss of EGLN2/PHD1 in MCL cells may lead to down-regulation of cyclin D1 by blocking the degradation of FOXO3A, a cyclin D1 suppressor. However, the CRISPR/Cas9-based loss-of-function of EGLN2/PHD1 did not affect cyclin D1 expression and the loss of FOXO3A did not restore cyclin D1 levels after iron chelation. These data suggest that expression of cyclin D1 in MCL is not controlled by ENGL2/PHD1-FOXO3A pathway and that chelation- and 2-oxoglutarate competition-mediated down-regulation of cyclin D1 in MCL cells is driven by yet unknown mechanism involving iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases other than PHD1. These data support further exploration of the use of iron chelation and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase inhibitors as a novel therapy of MCL.

Project description:The Escherichia coli gene initially named ygaT is located adjacent to lhgO, encoding L-2-hydroxyglutarate oxidase/dehydrogenase, and the gabDTP gene cluster, utilized for ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism. Because this gene is transcribed specifically during periods of carbon starvation, it was renamed csiD for carbon starvation induced. The CsiD protein was structurally characterized and shown to possess a double-stranded ß-helix fold, characteristic of a large family of non-heme Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases. Consistent with a role in producing the substrate for LhgO, CsiD was shown to be a glutarate L-2-hydroxylase. We review the kinetic and structural properties of glutarate L-2-hydroxylase from E. coli and other species, and we propose a catalytic mechanism for this archetype 2OG-dependent hydroxylase. Glutarate can be derived from l-lysine within the cell, with the gabDT genes exhibiting expanded reactivities beyond those known for GABA metabolism. The complete CsiD-containing pathway provides a means for the cell to obtain energy from the metabolism of l-lysine during periods of carbon starvation. To reflect the role of this protein in the cell, a renaming of csiD to glaH has been proposed.

Project description:2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent dioxygenases are ubiquitous iron containing enzymes that couple substrate oxidation to the conversion of 2OG to succinate and carbon dioxide. They participate in a wide range of biological processes including collagen biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, hypoxic sensing and demethylation of nucleic acids and histones. Although substantial progress has been made in elucidating their function, the role of many 2OG dioxygenases remains enigmatic. Here we have studied the 2OG and iron (Fe(II)) dependent dioxygenase Ofd2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a member of the AlkB subfamily of dioxygenases. We show that decarboxylation of 2OG by recombinant Ofd2 is dependent on Fe(II) and a histidine residue predicted to be involved in Fe(II) coordination. The decarboxylase activity of Ofd2 is stimulated by histones, and H2A has the strongest effect. Ofd2 interacts with all four core histones, however, only very weakly with H4. Our results define a new subclass of AlkB proteins interacting with histones, which also might comprise some of the human AlkB homologs with unknown function.

Project description:Low temperature is a major stress that severely affects plant development, growth, distribution, and productivity. Here, we examined the function of a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase-encoding gene, SlF3HL, in chilling stress responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Alisa Craig [AC]). Knockdown (KD) of SlF3HL (through RNA interference) in tomato led to increased sensitivity to chilling stress as indicated by elevated levels of electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the KD plants had decreased levels of proline and decreased activities of peroxisome and superoxide dismutase. The expression of four cold-responsive genes was substantially reduced in the KD plants. Furthermore, seedling growth was significantly greater in AC or SlF3HL-overexpression plants than in the KD plants under either normal growth conditions with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or chilling stress conditions. SlF3HL appears to positively regulate JA accumulation and the expression of JA biosynthetic and signaling genes under chilling stress. Together, these results suggest that SlF3HL is a positive regulator of chilling stress tolerance and functions in the chilling stress tolerance pathways, possibly by regulating JA biosynthesis, JA signaling, and ROS levels.
