Virus-encoded glycosyltransferases hypermodify DNA with diverse glycans

ABSTRACT:

Enzymatic modification of DNA nucleobases can coordinate gene expression, nuclease protection or mutagenesis. We recently discovered a clade of phage-specific cytosine methyltransferase (MT) and 5-methylpyrimidine dioxygenase (5mYOX) enzymes that produce 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) as a precursor for enzymatic hypermodifications on viral genomes. Here, we identify phage MT- and 5mYOX- associated glycosyltransferases (GTs) that catalyze linkage of diverse sugars to 5hmC nucleobase substrates. Metavirome mining revealed thousands of new biosynthetic gene clusters containing enzymes with predicted roles in cytosine sugar hypermodification. We developed a platform for high-throughput screening of GT- containing pathways, relying on the E. coli metabolome as a substrate pool. We successfully reconstituted several pathways and isolated diverse sugar modifications appended to cytosine, including mono-, di-, or tri-saccharides comprised of hexoses, N-acetylhexosamines or heptose. These findings expand our knowledge of hypermodifications on nucleic acids and the origins of corresponding sugar-installing enzymes.

Exogenous Melatonin Attenuates Post-harvest Decay by Increasing the Antioxidant Activity of Wax Apple (Syzygium samarangense)

Project description:Our experiments show that exogenous MT treatment can effectively delay the decay and water loss rate of post-harvest wax apples, which may be related to reducing the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation and inhibiting enzymatic browning. MT treatment also maintains the quality of post-harvest wax apple by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. At the same time, it can reduce the incidence of post-harvest diseases of wax apple by increasing the JA and SA contents. MT can down-regulate the expression of genes related to oxidation, and up-regulate the expression of related genes in antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidant pathways, suggesting that exogenous melatonin can reduce the production of excess ROS and maintain the redox homeostasis of post-harvest wax apple. Therefore, melatonin, as a strong and effective free radical scavenger and antioxidant, plays an important role in delaying the decay of post-harvest wax apples and prolonging the shelf life.

Sexual crossing of thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora heterothallica improved enzymatic degradation of sugar beet pulp

Project description:Enzymatic degradation of plant biomass requires a complex mixture of many different enzymes. Like most fungi, thermophilic Myceliophthora species therefore have a large set of enzymes targeting different linkages in plant polysaccharides. The majority of these enzymes have not been functionally characterized and their role in plant biomass degradation is unknown. This study describes a strategy using sexual crossing and screening with the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora heterothallica to identify specific enzymes associated with improved sugar beet pulp saccharification.Two genetically diverse M. heterothallica strains CBS 203.75 and CBS 663.74 were used to generate progenies with improved growth on sugar beet pulp. One progeny, named SBP.F1.2.11, had a different genetic pattern from the parental strains, and had improved saccharification activity after growth on 3% sugar beet pulp. Exo-proteome analysis of progeny and parental strains after 7 days growth on sugar beet pulp showed that only 17 of the 133 secreted CAZy enzymes were more abundant in progeny SBP.F1.2.11. Particularly one enzyme belonging to the carbohydrate esterase family 5 (CE5) was more present in SBP.F1.2.11. This CE5-CBM1 enzyme, named as Axe1, was phylogenetically related to acetyl xylan esterases.

The melatonin delivery system based on nano-SiO2 optimizes photosynthetic carbon metabolism and yield formation of soybeans in saline-alkali land

Project description:Nanomaterials show a great potential in regulating plant growth and improving stress resistance due to their unique physical and chemical characteristics. In this study, nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2) was prepared by the sol-gel method and used to construct a highly efficient melatonin delivery system. Soybean cultivars Hefeng 50 and Henong 95 were field-grown in saline-alkali soil and foliar-sprayed with 200 mg/L nano-SiO2, 300 μM melatonin (MT), or their combination at the V3 stage. In the MT-nano-SiO2system, the encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading capacity of melatonin by nano-SiO2were 35% and 53%, respectively. The system can significantly enhanced melatonin photostability. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the MT-nano-SiO2 composite can be directly adsorbed on the leaf surface. The MT-nano-SiO2 treatment significantly reduced salt-alkali stress induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation by activated the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant system expressed as enhancing the activities of SOD, CAT, and APX and regulating glutathione (GSH/GSSG) levels. The results of physiology, RNA-seq and qRT-PCR indicated that MT-nano-SiO2 treatment can repair photosynthetic carbon metabolism damage induced by salt-alkali stress. Specifically, it increased leaf area, photosynthetic pigment content, photosystem II (PSⅡ) efficiency (Fv/Fm, Qy), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), and intercellular CO2concentration (Ci). It also promoted the activities of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), sucrose synthase (SuSy), but inhibited the activities of α-amylase, β-amylase to enhance soluble sugar, sucrose, and starch accumulation. Ultimately, MT-nano-SiO2 treatment significantly improved pod number per plant, seed number per plant, 100-seed weight, and yield of soybean plants.

Non-targeted in vitro metabolomics for proteome-scale identification of novel enzymes in Escherichia coli

Project description:Many yet undiscovered enzymes still limit our understanding of metabolism. Here, we develop a high-throughput mass spectrometry approach to comprehensively profile proteome-scale protein collections for in vitro enzymatic activity. Overexpressed or purified proteins are incubated in a supplemented metabolome extract containing hundreds of biologically relevant candidate substrates, and accumulating or depleting metabolite ions are determined by nontargeted mass spectrometry. Combining chemometrics and database approaches, we established an automated pipeline for unbiased annotation of novel enzyme functions that was demonstrated to achieve 75% predictive accuracy. In a screen of all 1,275 functionally uncharacterized Escherichia coli proteins, this low false-positive rate discovery method identified 241 potential novel enzymes. Twelve of these were experimentally validated to catalyze 29 diverse metabolic reactions, including the long-elusive multispecific cytidine monophosphate nucleosidase PpnN (YgdH) and the two fumarases FumD (YdhZ) and FumE (YggD). Thus, we establish high-throughput nontargeted in vitro metabolomics and the corresponding hypothesis generation pipeline as an approach for proteome-scale enzyme discovery and assign enzymatic functions to about 20% of the so far uncharacterized E. coli proteins.

Liver-protecting Effect of Maple Syrup

Project description:Rats fed a 20%-maple syrup diet (maple syrup group) for 11 days showed significantly lower values of the hepatic function markers than those fed a 20%-sugar mix syrup diet (control) likewise. One reasons was suggested by DNA microarray analysis which revealed that the expression of genes for enzymes of ammonia production were down-regulated in the liver of maple syrup group. Rats were quarantined and conditioned by administration of the authentic AIN93G diet for 4 days. Rats had free access to the diet and drinking water during this preliminary feeding. For feeding tests, they were dichotomized (n = 7 and 8) for maple syrup and sugar mix syrup group, respectively, and then fed for 11 days on either the AIN93G diet containing 20% maple syrup or on the 20% sugar mix syrup with a similar sugar composition; the amount of maple syrup or the sugar mix syrup was arranged. Rats in both diet groups were fasted for 16 hours, prior to being anesthetically sacrificed for dissection.

METTL8 is required for 3-methylcytosine modification in human mitochondrial tRNAs

Project description:A subset of eukaryotic tRNAs is methylated in the anticodon loop to form the 3-methylcytosine (m3C) modification. In mammals, the number of tRNAs containing m3C has expanded to include mitochondrial (mt) tRNA-Ser-UGA and mt-tRNA-Thr-UGU. Whereas the enzymes catalyzing m3C formation in nuclear-encoded cytoplasmic tRNAs have been identified, the proteins responsible for m3C modification in mt-tRNAs are unknown. Here, we show that m3C formation in human mt-tRNAs is dependent upon the Methyltransferase-Like 8 (METTL8) enzyme. We find that METTL8 is a mitochondria-associated protein that interacts with mitochondrial seryl-tRNA synthetase along with mt-tRNAs containing m3C. Human cells deficient in METTL8 exhibit loss of m3C modification in mt-tRNAs but not nuclear-encoded tRNAs. Consistent with the mitochondrial import of METTL8, the formation of m3C in METTL8-deficient cells can be rescued by re-expression of wildtype METTL8 but not by a METTL8 variant lacking the N-terminal mitochondrial localization signal. Notably, METTL8-deficiency in human cells causes alterations in the native migration pattern of mt-tRNA-Ser-UGA suggesting a role for m3C in tRNA folding. Altogether, these findings demonstrate that METTL8 is required for m3C formation in mitochondrial tRNAs and uncover a potential role for m3C modification in mitochondrial tRNA structure.

TMT-labeled differential proteomics study of the glycosyltransferase slr1064 mutant in cyanobacteria

Project description:Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that play important roles in various biological processes, such as photosynthesis, cell motility, exopolysaccharides, and lipid metabolism, by transferring sugars to different targets. However, the regulation of carbon metabolism by GTs in Synechocystis has not been reported yet. To identify novel GTs proteins involved in carbon metabolism, we performed a large-scale screening of GT gene-deletion mutants in Synechocystis. Our results revealed that the glycosyltransferase Slr1064, which is mainly distributed in the membrane compartment, is essential for the growth of Synechocystis under heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions (HT and MT), but not under autotrophic conditions (AT). Integrated proteomic and metabolic analyses showed that Slr1064 regulates the Calvin cycle by modulating the levels of UDP-GlcNAc, which have been reported to mediate O-GlcNAc modification of Gap2. Further analyses demonstrated that the Δslr1064 mutant has a lower turnover rate of Gap2 under MT condition and shows dissociation of the PRK/GAPDH/CP12 complex under dark culture conditions. These findings provide new insights into the role of GTs in carbon metabolism in Synechocystis and expand our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of carbon metabolism in this important model organism.

Pathways of retinoid synthesis in mouse macrophages and bone marrow cells

Project description:In vivo pathways of natural retinoid metabolism and elimination have not been well characterized in primary myeloid cells, even though retinoids and retinoid receptors have been strongly implicated in regulating myeloid maturation. Using a UAS-GFP reporter transgene, and retrovirally expressed Gal4-RARA in primary mouse bone marrow cells, we identified two distinct enzymatic pathways utilized by mouse myeloid cells ex vivo to synthesize RARA ligands from free vitamin A metabolites (retinyl acetate, retinol, and retinal). Bulk Kit+ bone marrow progenitor cells utilize diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB)-sensitive enzymes, whereas bone marrow-derived macrophages use DEAB-insensitive enzymes to synthesize natural RARA-activating retinoids (all-trans retinoic acid). Bone marrow-derived macrophages do not express the DEAB-sensitive enzymes Aldh1a1, Aldh1a2, or Aldh1a3, but instead express Aldh3b1, which we found is capable of DEAB-insensitive synthesis of all trans-retinoic acid. However, under steady-state and stimulated conditions in vivo, diverse bone marrow cells and peritoneal macrophages showed no evidence of intracellular RARA-activating retinoids despite expression of these enzymes and a vitamin A sufficient diet, suggesting that the enzymatic conversion of retinal is not the rate limiting step in the synthesis of intracellular RARA-activating retinoids in myeloid bone marrow cells and that that RARA remains in an un-liganded configuration during adult hematopoiesis. In order to identify additional enzymes that might contribute to DEAB-insensitive retinoid synthesis in bone marrow-derived macrophages, we compared gene expression in Kit+ progenitor cells vs bone marrow macrophages by Affymetrix array profiling. We analyzed 3 biological samples each of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages and Kit+ progenitor cells

The ontogeny and inter-individual variability of drug- metabolizing enzymes and transporters in human liver.

Project description:Drug dosing for children is frequently suboptimal when relying on the traditional approach of normalizing doses based on body weight or surface area. Thus, the ontogeny profiling of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) is important to help develop physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for predicting safer pediatric dosing. In particular interest are hydrolases are one of the most diverse classes of DMEs and catalyze reactions containing esters, amides, phosphates, etc. in both drugs and prodrugs. Hydrolases such as carboxyl esterases, cathepsins, and arylacetamide deacetylase have been studied for their involvement in drug metabolism. However, a significant number of hydrolases have not yet been appropriately characterized, and as such their influence on drug metabolism remains unknown. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive data on the ontogeny and inter-individual variability in expression of these enzymes. Here a characterization of the age-dependent protein abundance of hydrolases in viable primary human hepatocytes isolated from pediatric (n=50) and adult (n=8) donors (Female=28; Male=30) using quantitative global proteomics-based total protein approach was performed.

Transcription profiling of Aspergillus niger grown in media containg different pectic substrates to study the pectinolytic system

Project description:To study the induction of the genes encoding known and putative enzymes from the pectinolytic system of A. niger, the transcriptional profiles of 58 selected known or putative pectinolytic genes were monitored by microarray experiments. For this purpose, A. niger was cultivated on the complex substrates, sugar beet pectin and polygalacturonic acid as primary carbon sources. Galacturonic acid, rhamnose and xylose were used to assess the effects on gene expression caused by simple well-defined carbon sources, representing the most abundant sugar residues present in the backbone of pectin. Fructose, as a strong repressor of the expression of genes that are under carbon catabolite regulation, and sorbitol, as a non-inducing sugar-like alcohol, which does not affect the carbon catabolite regulation mechanisms were selected as control substrates. Mycelia of A. niger were pregrown for 18 h on 2% fructose, transferred to medium containing the different pectic and control substrates, and sampled at four time points during 24 h of incubation.
