Project description:Legacy perfluorinated compounds exhibit significant environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential, which has spawned an ongoing effort to introduce replacement compounds with reduced toxicological risk profiles. Many of these emerging chemical species lack validated quantitative methods, and, frequently, appropriate analytical standards for accurate monitoring and identification. To fill this knowledge gap, a general method for the quantitative determination of perfluoroether carboxylic acids (PFECAs) by LC-MS/MS was single-lab validated on spike-recovery samples in surface, drinking, and wastewater for a variety of perfluorinated ether standards. Relative error measurements for spike-recovery samples in each matrix ranged from 0.36% to 25.9%, with an average error of 10% overall. Coefficient of variation (CV) for each compound ranged from 10 to 28% with an average of 17%. The quantitative methodology was applied during repeated weekly monitoring of the Cape Fear River during remediation of PFECA hexafluoropropyloxide dimer-acid (HFPO-DA), known by the brand name "GenX." Semi-quantitative concentration estimates for emerging PFECA compounds lacking analytical standards was also carried out using surrogate calibration curves and mass labeled HFPO-DA as an internal standard. Estimates of the emerging compounds were possible using matched standards, but application of the estimation methodology to compounds with known concentration revealed that such estimates may possess up to an order of magnitude, or more, in uncertainty due to the difficulty of matching with an appropriate standard. Nevertheless, the estimation biases are primarily systematic (extraction efficiency and instrument response) rather than stochastic, enabling the collection of time-course data; both HFPO-DA and the emerging compounds were reduced in surface water and drinking water concentration of several orders of magnitude after removal of the source waste stream.

Project description:Rab1A is a small GTPase known for its role in vesicular trafficking. Recent evidence indicates that Rab1A is essential for amino acids (aas) sensing and signaling to regulate mTORC1 in normal and cancer cells. However, Rab1A's in vivo function in mammals is not known. Here, we report the generation of tamoxifen (TAM)-induced whole body Rab1A knockout (Rab1A-/-) in adult mice. Rab1A-/- mice are viable but become hyperglycemic and glucose intolerant due to impaired insulin transcription and β-cell proliferation and maintenance. Mechanistically, Rab1A mediates AA-mTORC1 signaling, particularly branched chain amino acids (BCAA), to regulate the stability and localization of the insulin transcription factor Pdx1. Collectively, these results reveal a physiological role of aa-Rab1A-mTORC1 signaling in the control of whole-body glucose homeostasis in mammals. Intriguingly, Rab1A expression is reduced in β-cells of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, which is correlated with loss of insulin expression, suggesting that Rab1A downregulation contributes to T2D progression.

Project description:A rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) protocol for the determination of amino acids with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) derivatization was successfully developed for assessing amino acid levels in six species of representative commercial bee pollen. Based on a poroshell column, a favorable chromatographic separation of seventeen amino acids was achieved in approximately 10 min with satisfactory resolution. The LOD and LOQ of this method were less than 0.034 μg/mL and 0.232 μg/mL, and the intra- and inter-day RSDs ranged between 0.86-5.28 % and 3.21-6.50 %, respectively. The matrix effect (ME) ranged from -8 to 3, implying that the matrix effect was not significant. Under the optimum conditions, the established method was adopted to determine amino acids in six types of bee pollens. The results showed that the total amino acid content ranged from 151.94 mg/g (Rosa rugosa) to 214.52 mg/g (Leonurus artemisia) in the six bee pollen species. Notably, proline (Pro), valine (Val), leucine (Leu), and phenylalanine (Phe) were abundant in the majority of samples. To identify the suspicious samples, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed, and each type of bee pollen was differentiated. Results showed that, in the market, the qualification rate of RR was 100 %, but that of NN was merely 62.5 %, revealing that a few of them were counterfeit. This method offers advantages such as high speed, low cost, and outstanding performance.

Project description:The rules for the conserved reaction of alphabeta T cell receptors (TCRs) with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins plus peptides are poorly understood, probably because thymocytes bearing TCRs with the strongest MHC reactivity are lost by negative selection. Thus, only TCRs with an attenuated ability to react with MHC appear on mature T cells. Also, the interaction sites between TCRs and MHC may be inherently flexible and hence difficult to spot. We reevaluated contacts between TCRs and MHC in the solved structures of their complexes with these points in mind. Relatively conserved amino acids in the TCR complementarity-determining regions (CDR) 1 and CDR2 are often used to bind exposed areas of the MHC alpha-helices. These areas are exposed because of small amino acids that allow somewhat flexible binding of the TCRs. The TCR amino acids involved are specific to families of variable (V) regions and to some extent different rules may govern the recognition of MHCI versus MHCII.

Project description:Recent work has highlighted the fact that lysosomes are a critical signaling hub of metabolic processes, providing fundamental building blocks crucial for anabolic functions. How lysosomal functions affect other cellular compartments is not fully understood. Here, we find that lysosomal recycling of the amino acids lysine and arginine is essential for proper ER quality control through the UPRER. Specifically, loss of the lysine and arginine amino acid transporter LAAT-1 results in increased sensitivity to proteotoxic stress in the ER and decreased animal physiology. We find that these LAAT-1-dependent effects are linked to glycine metabolism and transport and that the loss of function of the glycine transporter SKAT-1 also increases sensitivity to ER stress. Direct lysine and arginine supplementation, or glycine supplementation alone, can ameliorate increased ER stress sensitivity found in laat-1 mutants. These data implicate a crucial role in recycling lysine, arginine, and glycine in communication between the lysosome and ER.

Project description:Chemotaxis has been associated with the pathogenicity of bacteria in plants and was found to facilitate bacterial entry through stomata and wounds. However, knowledge regarding the plant signals involved in this process is scarce. We have addressed this issue using Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which is a foliar pathogen that causes bacterial speck in tomato. We show that the chemoreceptor P. syringae pv. tomato PscA (PsPto-PscA) recognizes specifically and with high affinity l-Asp, l-Glu, and d-Asp. The mutation of the chemoreceptor gene largely reduced chemotaxis to these ligands but also altered cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) levels, biofilm formation, and motility, pointing to cross talk between different chemosensory pathways. Furthermore, the PsPto-PscA mutant strain showed reduced virulence in tomato. Asp and Glu are the most abundant amino acids in plants and in particular in tomato apoplasts, and we hypothesize that this receptor may have evolved to specifically recognize these compounds to facilitate bacterial entry into the plant. Infection assays with the wild-type strain showed that the presence of saturating concentrations of d-Asp also reduced bacterial virulence.IMPORTANCE There is substantive evidence that chemotaxis is a key requisite for efficient pathogenesis in plant pathogens. However, information regarding particular bacterial chemoreceptors and the specific plant signal that they sense is scarce. Our work shows that the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato mediates not only chemotaxis but also the control of pathogenicity through the perception of the plant abundant amino acids Asp and Glu. We describe the specificity of the perception of l- and d-Asp and l-Glu by the PsPto-PscA chemoreceptor and the involvement of this perception in the regulation of pathogenicity-related traits. Moreover, a saturating concentration of d-Asp reduces bacterial virulence, and we therefore propose that ligand-mediated interference of key chemoreceptors may be an alternative strategy to control virulence.
