Project description:A novel mass spectrometric method for discriminating isoleucine and leucine by MS3. The dimethylation of peptide N-termini leads to intense a1 ions in CID and MS3 fragmentation of the isoleucine/leucine a1-ion leads to spectra with fragments that can discriminate between the two isomers. The method was applied to two antibodies in combination with a set of protease treatments using trypsin, thermolysin, chymotrypsin and pepsin to generate peptides exposing N-terminal I/L residues.

Project description:This review highlights the underexplored potential and promises of marine bioactive peptides (MBPs) with unique structural, physicochemical, and biological activities to fight against the current and future human pathologies. A particular focus is given to the marine environment as a significant source to obtain or extract high-value MBPs from touched/untouched sources. For instance, marine microorganisms, including microalgae, bacteria, fungi, and marine polysaccharides, are considered prolific sources of amino acids at large, and peptides/polypeptides in particular, with fundamental structural sequence and functional entities of a carboxyl group, amine, hydrogen, and a variety of R groups. Thus, MBPs with tunable features, both structural and functional entities, along with bioactive traits of clinical and therapeutic value, are of ultimate interest to reinforce biomedical settings in the 21st century. On the other front, as the largest biome globally, the marine biome is the so-called "epitome of untouched or underexploited natural resources" and a considerable source with significant potentialities. Therefore, considering their biological and biomedical importance, researchers around the globe are redirecting and/or regaining their interests in valorizing the marine biome-based MBPs. This review focuses on the widespread bioactivities of MBPs, FDA-approved MBPs in the market, sustainable development goals (SDGs), and legislation to valorize marine biome to underlying the impact role of bioactive elements with the related pathways. Finally, a detailed overview of current challenges, conclusions, and future perspectives is also given to satisfy the stimulating demands of the pharmaceutical sector of the modern world.

Project description:Proline-rich macrocyclic peptides (PRMPs) are natural products present in geographically and phylogenetically dispersed marine sponges. The large diversity and low abundance of PRMPs in sponge metabolomes precludes isolation and structure elucidation of each individual PRMP congener. Here, using standards developed via biomimetic enzymatic synthesis of PRMPs, a mass spectrometry-based workflow to sequence PRMPs was developed and validated to reveal that the diversity of PRMPs in marine sponges is much greater than that has been realized by natural product isolation-based strategies. Findings are placed in the context of diversity-oriented transamidative macrocyclization of peptide substrates in sponge holobionts.

Project description:Background Cells regulate protein synthesis in response to fluctuating nutrient availability through mechanisms that affect both translation initiation and elongation. Branched-chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential nutrients. However, how their depletion affects translation remains largely unclear. Here, we investigate the immediate effects of single, double, and triple branched-chain amino acid deprivation on translational dynamics in NIH3T3 cells using RNA-seq and ribosome profiling. Results All starvation conditions increased ribosome dwell times, with pronounced stalling at all valine codons during valine and triple starvation, whereas leucine and isoleucine starvation produced milder, codon-specific effects. Notably, stalling under isoleucine deprivation largely decreased under triple starvation. Positional enrichment of valine codons near the 5′ end and downstream isoleucine codons potentially contributes to these patterns, suggesting a possible elongation bottleneck that influences translational responses under branched-chain amino acid starvation. The presence of multiple valine stalling sites was associated with decreased protein levels. Finally, codon-specific dwell time changes correlated strongly with patterns of tRNA isoacceptor charging. Conclusions Together, these findings suggest that differential ribosome stalling under branched-chain amino acid starvation reflects a balance between amino acid supply, tRNA charging dynamics, codon position, and stress-response signaling.

Project description:PepSAVI-MS, a mass spectrometry-based peptidomics pipeline, was implemented for antimicrobial peptide (AMP) discovery in the medicinal plant Amaranthus tricolor. This investigation revealed a novel 1.7 kDa AMP, deemed Atr-AMP1. Initial efforts to determine the sequence of Atr-AMP1 utilized chemical derivatization and enzymatic digestion to provide information about specific residues and post-translational modifications. EThcD (electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation) produced extensive backbone fragmentation and facilitated de novo sequencing, the results of which were consistent with orthogonal characterization experiments. Additionally, multistage HCD (higher-energy collisional dissociation) facilitated discrimination between isobaric leucine and isoleucine. These results revealed a positively-charged proline-rich peptide present in a heterogeneous population of multiple peptidoforms, possessing several post-translational modifications including a disulfide bond, methionine oxidation, and proline hydroxylation.

Project description:For the first time in Lactococcus lactis, amino acid starvation response was characterized. The natural imposition of isoleucine starvation, by its consumption during growth, associated to transcript profiling, allowed defining exhaustively this stress stimulon. It consisted of a general induction of nitrogen metabolism (amino acid biosynthesis and transport, proteolytic system and proteases), a strong repression of genes encoding major physiological activities (translation, transcription, carbon metabolism, purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism) and the induction of unexpected cross responses to acid, osmotic and oxidative stresses. Keywords: stress response, time course Isoleucine starvation was imposed by the consumption of this amino acid during the growth of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 on ILV0.1 medium (CDM with ten-fold reduced concentrations of isoleucine, leucine and valine) and under controlled conditions (30 °C, pH 6.6, nitrogen atmosphere). Cell samples were harvested in exponential phase and after 30 min, 1.7 h and 3.5 h of isoleucine starvation. Total RNA was extracted from these samples and radiolabelled cDNA were prepared and hybridized on nylon arrays. 2053 amplicons specific of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 genes were spotted twice on the array. The 4 time-points were analyzed simultaneously and 3 independent repetitions were performed.

Project description:Dietary protein is a critical regulator of metabolic health and aging in diverse species, and many of the benefits of low-protein diets are recapitulated by restriction of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine, and valine. In mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dietary supplementation with BCAAs worsens AD neuropathology, while restriction of any of the BCAAs improves cognitive deficits. We recently discovered that each BCAA has distinct metabolic effects, with the restriction of isoleucine alone being sufficient to improve metabolic health and extend lifespan and healthspan in genetically diverse mice. Here, we investigate the effect of restricting each individual BCAA on metabolic health and the development and progression of AD in the 3xTg mouse model. We find that restriction of isoleucine and valine, but not leucine, promotes metabolic health. Restricting any of the three BCAAs improved short-term memory in males, with isoleucine restriction having the strongest effect, while restricting valine has the greatest cognitive benefits in females. Restriction of each BCAA had distinct effects on AD pathology, mTOR signaling, autophagy, and survival. Transcriptomic analysis of the brain revealed both distinct and shared, and highly sex-specific, molecular impacts of restricting each BCAA, and we identify a set of significantly altered pathways strongly associated with reduced AD pathology and improved cognitive performance in males. Our findings suggest that restricting any of the BCAAs, particularly isoleucine or valine, may form the basis of a novel sex-specific approach to prevent or delay the progression of AD.

Project description:Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterised by deficient activity of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex, required to metabolise the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. Despite its profound metabolic implications, the molecular alterations underlying this metabolic impairment had not yet been elucidated. Here we performed a comprehensive epigenomic analysis including fibroblasts derived from a cohort of MSUD patients (9) and unaffected controls (5) using the Infinium HumanMethylation EPIC platform.
