Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is hallmarked by progressive neurodegeneration. Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is thought to play a pivotal role in driving AD pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use yeast genome-scale screening to study global synthetic genetic interactions and identify toxicity modifiers of Aβ42. We find that the gene encoding riboflavin kinase (FMN1) and its metabolic product flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are connected to AD. These relationship between Aβ42 and FMN was previously unknown. As a cofactor for flavoenzymes, FMN supplementation appears to attune many cellular processes to ameliorate Aβ42 toxicity. RNA-seq analysis further confirms FMN’s cytoprotective mechanisms. Our findings provide increased understanding of FMN regulated cellular pathways which are associated with potential targets for AD treatment.

Project description:Genes encoding dodecin proteins are present in almost 20% of archaeal and in more than 50% of bacterial genomes. Archaeal dodecins bind riboflavin (vitamin B2), are thought to play a role in flavin homeostasis and possibly also help to protect cells from radical or oxygenic stress. Bacterial dodecins were found to bind riboflavin-5’-phosphate (also called flavin mononucleotide or FMN) and coenzyme A, but their physiological function remained unknown. In this study, we set out to investigate the relevance of dodecins for flavin metabolism and oxidative stress management in the phylogenetically related bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces davawensis. Therfore we have treated Streptomyces coelicolor wildtype, Streptomyces davawensis wildytype and Streptomyces davawensis dodecin deletion strain with plumbagin, a compound, which induces oxidative stress in exponential and stationary growth phase and analysed the transcriptome via RNA-seq (Illumina TruSeq stranded mRNA libraries sequenced on Illumina HiSeq rapid mode 2 x 70nt PE).

Project description:Riboflavin (RF) and its cofactors (FMN and FAD) are essential molecules for vital metabolic processes in all organisms. Thus, the flavin metabolism must be tightly regulated in the cells. We previously demonstrated that the intracellular levels of flavins were tightly maintained by the enzymes involved in their synthesis and degradation, inducing a plastidic FAD hydrolase (AtNUDX23), in Arabidopsis. However, information of regulatory factors involved in the flavin homeostasis and transporters in each organelle are mostly limited. Terefore, we tried to identify novel factors involved in the flavin metabolism, such as transcription factors and transporters by a transcriptome analysis after exogenous FAD treatment.

Project description:The pathogenic bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide yet it does not grow in the aerobic environment. The paralogues RrpA and RrpB which are members of MarR family of DNA binding proteins have been shown to be important for the survival of C. jejuni under aerobic and redox stress. We report that RrpA is a positive regulator of mdaB, encoding a flavin-dependent quinone reductase. MdaB confers protection to the cell from redox stress mediated by structurally diverse quinones. RrpB negatively regulates the expression of nfrA (Cj1555c), a flavin reductase. NfrA reduces riboflavin at a much higher rate than flavin mononucleotide (FMN),suggesting exogenous free flavins are the natural substrate. Enzymatic activity of MdaB and NfrA towards their substrates revealed both reductases preferred NADPH as an electron donor. DNA-binding and post translational modification analyses showed that the mechanism of RrpA and RrpB DNA binding is likely a cysteine-based redox switch. Complete genome sequences analysis indicated that MdaB is predominant in Campylobacter spp. and the related Helicobacter spp., whilst NfrA is more often found in C. jejuni strains. Quinones and flavins are antimicrobial redox cycling agents secreted by a wide range of cell-types that can form damaging superoxide by one-electron reactions. We propose that MdaB and NfrA production allows a two-electron reduction mechanism to the less toxic quinol forms. These enzymes thus aid the survival and persistence of C. jejuni in the face of toxic compounds from competing microbes.

Project description:Respiratory complex I plays a crucial role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and shows promise as a therapeutic target for various human diseases. While most studies focus on inhibiting complex I at the Q-site, little is known about inhibitors targeting other sites within the complex. In this study, we demonstrate that diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a known N-site inhibitor, uniquely affects the stability of complex I by inhibiting its flavin cofactor FMN. Treatment with DPI blocks the final stage of complex I assembly, leading to the accumulation of assembly intermediates that lack the N-module. Remarkably, high-dose DPI treatment can completely and reversibly degrade complex I in different cellular models. The mechanism involves the accumulation of DPI in mitochondria, where it reacts with FMN, depleting the effective pool of FMN and halting complex I maturation. Consistently, growing cells in medium lacking the FMN precursor riboflavin or knocking out the mitochondrial FAD carrier gene SLC25A32 results in complex I degradation and impairs complex I-dependent respiration. Overall, our findings establish a direct connection between mitochondrial flavin homeostasis and complex I stability and assembly, paving the way for novel pharmacological strategies to regulate respiratory complex I.

Project description:We used comparative transcriptomics to explore cellular responses to growth on pyrite (FeS2) or aqueous iron (Fe(II)) and sulfur (cysteine or sulfide). Transcriptomic data from wild type M. barkeri identified subset of genes that was significantly upregulated during grown on FeS2 versus ferrous iron and cysteine or sulfide. Several of these genes, including a membrane-bound hydrolase, alpha-keto reductases, and flavin mononucleotide-dependent flavodoxin reductases were highly conserved among known FeS2-reducing methanogens and were located in a single gene cassette. Putative enzymatically catalyzed mechanisms of FeS2 reduction are proposed for each of these enzyme systems to guide their future biochemical and biophysical study.

Project description:Marine pelagic larvae from throughout the animal kingdom use a hierarchy of environmental cues to identify a suitable benthic habitat on which to settle and metamorphose into the reproductive phase of the life cycle. The majority of larvae are induced to settle by biochemical cues and many species have long been known to preferentially settle in the dark. Combined, these data suggest that larval responses to light and biochemical cues may be linked, but this is yet to be explored at the molecular level. Here, we track vertical position of larvae of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica to show that they descend to the benthos at twilight, by which time they are competent to respond to biochemical cues, consistent with them naturally settling in the dark. We then conduct larval settlement assays under three different light regimes (natural day-night, constant dark or constant light), and use transcriptomics on individual larvae to identify candidate molecular pathways underlying the different settlement responses that we observe. We find that constant light prevents larval settlement in response to biochemical cues, likely via actively repressing chemostransduction; this is consistent with the sustained upregulation of a photosensory cryptochrome and two putative inactivators of G-protein signalling in the constant light only. We hypothesise that photo- and chemosensory systems may be hierarchically integrated into ontogeny to regulate larval settlement via nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signalling in this sponge that belongs to one of the earliest branching of the extant animal lineages.

Project description:We previously found a short sleeper mutant, fmn, and identified its mutation in the dopamine transporter gene. In an attempt to discover additional sleep related genes in Drosophila, we carried out a microarray analysis comparing mRNA expression in heads of fmn and control flies and found differentially expressed genes. Next, using the pan-neuronal Gal4 driver elav-Gal4 and UAS-RNA interference (RNAi) to knockdown individual genes, we performed a functional screen. We found that knockdown of the NMDA type glutamate receptor channel gene (Nmdar1) reduced sleep.
