Project description:The Lamiaceae family contains numerous diterpenoids, offering a valuable model system for the study of diterpenoid chemical diversity. In this study we report that the ent-kaurene diterpenoids in I. rubescens have the largest diTPS gene family identified in Lamiaceae. Three genes are predicted to be involved in ent-kaurene diterpenoid synthesis while another two KSL genes are functional enzymes utilizing ent-CPP as a substrate. We also showed the presence of a normal-CPP mediated biosynthesis pathway in I. rubescens and that three KSL genes possessing different domain architectures are involved in this pathway. This study provides new information regarding the understanding of diterpenoid chemical diversity and this compounds’ evolution in the Lamiaceae family.

Project description:Soft corals are unique amongst animals in their prolific production of bioactive terpenoid natural products that rival the chemical diversity of plants and microbes. We recently established that octocorals uniformly express terpene cyclases and that their encoding genes often reside within putative biosynthetic gene clusters, a feature uncommon in animal genomes. In this work, we report the discovery and characterization of a widespread gene cluster family for the biosynthesis of briarane diterpenoids that number over 600 molecules distinct to corals. We sequenced five genomes from evolutionarily discrete families of briarane-producing octocorals, including the chromosomally resolved precious coral Corallium rubrum, and identified a common five-gene cluster composed of a terpene cyclase, three cytochrome P450s, and a short-chain dehydrogenase. Using Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as hosts and homologous briarane biosynthesis genes from seven corals, we reconstituted the biosynthesis of cembrene B g-lactone, which contains the g-lactone structural feature distinctive of briarane diterpenoids. The discovery of the genomic basis of briarane biosynthesis not only allows for its biological examination across coral species but establishes that animals, like microbes and plants, also employ gene cluster families to produce specialized metabolites.

Project description:The large family of SCF ubiquitin ligases catalyze ubiquitylation by bridging protein substrates and ubiquitin-modifying enzymes. S. cerevisiae SCFs employ a sole, essential enzyme, Cdc34, to build poly-ubiquitin chains required for degradation. However, humans have no less than six chain building enzymes associated with SCFs, including the long assumed to be essential Cdc34 orthologs, UBE2R1 and UBE2R2. Furthermore, uncertainty regarding the physiological concentrations of ubiquitin-modifying enzymes has hindered in vitro mechanistic work. Proteomics was used to estimate enzyme levels in cells, and ubiquitylation assays were employed to quantitatively compare enzyme activities. The results show that UBE2R2 alone has negligible ubiquitylation activity at physiological concentrations, and the ablation of UBE2R1/2 had no effect on the stability of SCF substrates in cells. A genome-wide CRISPR screen revealed that UBE2G1 buffers against the deletion of UBE2R1/2. UBE2G1 had robust in vitro activity with SCF, and UBE2G1 knockdown in cells lacking UBE2R1/2 resulted in stabilization of the SCF substrate p27 as well as the Cul3-RING ligase substrate NRF2. The results reveal the human SCF enzyme system is heavily buffered and suggest that SCF specificity is diversified by association with multiple enzyme partners.

Project description:Furan is a heterocyclic organic compound produced in the chemical manufacturing industry and also found in a broad range of food products, including infant formulas and baby foods. Previous reports have indicated that the adverse biological effects of furan, including its liver tumorigenicity, may be associated with epigenetic abnormalities. In the present study we investigated the persistence of epigenetic alterations in rat liver. Male Fisher 344 (F344) rats were treated by gavage 5 days per week with 8 mg furan/kg body weight (bw)/day for 90 days. After the last treatment, rats were divided randomly into four groups; one group of rats was sacrificed 24 hours after the last treatment, while other groups were maintained without further furan treatment for an additional 90, 180, or 360 days. Treatment with furan for 90 days resulted in alterations in histone lysine methylation and acetylation, oxidative damage to DNA, and changes in the gene expression in the livers. A majority of these furan-induced molecular changes was transient and disappeared after the cessation of furan treatment. In contrast, histone H3 lysine 9, H3 lysine 27, and H3 lysine 56 showed a sustained and time-depended decrease in acetylation, which was associated with formation of heterochromatin and altered gene expression. These results indicate that furan-induced adverse effects may be mechanistically related to sustained changes in histone lysine acetylation that compromise the ability of cells to maintain and control properly the expression of genetic information.

Project description:In this study, we evaluated the utility of microRNA (miRNA) profiling in female B6C3F1 mouse liver to indicate mechanisms of liver perturbation due to short-term exposure of the known rodent liver hepatotoxicant and carcinogen, furan. Analyses indicated a robust dose response for 34 miRNAs to furan and involvement of p53-linked pathways in furan-mediated hepatotoxicity. Overall, these results indicate mechanistic involvement of miRNA in furan carcinogenicity and provide evidence of their potential utility as accessible biomarkers of exposure and disease.

Project description:We describe furan as a triggerable ‘warhead’ for site-specific cross-linking using the actin and thymosin β4 (Tβ4)-complex as model of a weak and dynamic protein-protein interaction with known 3D structure and with application potential in disease contexts. The presented in vitro validation of covalently acting ‘furan-armed’ Tβ4-variants provides initial proof to further exploit furan-technology for covalent drug design.

Project description:Furan is a widely used industrial chemical and a common contaminant in heated foods. Chronic furan exposure has been shown to cause cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular tumors at doses of 2 mg/kg bw/day with gender differences in frequency and severity. The hepatic transcriptional alterations induced by low doses of furan (doses below those inducing liver tumors) and the potential mechanisms underlying gender differences are largely unexplored. We used DNA microarrays to examine the global hepatic mRNA and microRNA transcriptional profiles of male and female rats exposed to 0, 0.03, 0.12, 0.5 or 2 mg/kg bw/day furan over 90 days. Marked gender differences in gene expression responses to furan were observed, with many more altered genes in exposed males than females, confirming the increased sensitivity of males even at the low doses. Pathway analysis supported that key events in furan-induced hepatotoxicity in males included gene expression changes related to oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammatory response, while pathway changes in females were consistent with primarily adaptive responses (regeneration). Pathway benchmark doses (BMDs) were estimated and compared to relevant apical endpoints. Transcriptional BMDs could be examined in males, they ranged from 0.08 – 1.43 mg/kg bw/day and approximated those derived from traditional histopathology. MiR-34a (a target of P53 signalling) was the only microRNA significantly increased at the 2 mg/kg bw/day, providing evidence in support of the importance of apoptosis and cell proliferation in furan hepatotoxicity. Overall, this study demonstrates the use of transcriptional profiling to discern mode of action and mechanisms involved in gender differences.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii A1S_1874 gene encodes as a LysR-type transcriptional regulator. LysR family regulators known to regulate biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and the expression of diverse genes in other Gram-negative bacteria. However, A1S-1874 has never been characterized in Acinetobacter baumannii, and the studies about the regulon of A1S-1874 are not discovered. In this study we revealed that A1S_1874 differentially regulates at least 302 genes including the csu pilus operon, N-acylhomoserine lactone synthese gene, A1S_0112-A1S_0118 operon, type 1v secretion system related genes that are involved in biofilm formation, surface motility, adherence, quorum sensing and virulence. Overall, our data suggests that A1S-1874 is a key regulator of Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation and gene expression.

Project description:Wood formation involves sequential developmental events, requiring the coordination of multiple hormones. Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a key role in wood development, but little is known about the cellular and molecular processes that underlie wood formation in tree species. Here, we generated transgenic poplar lines editing one or several members of PdBRI1s, the orthologs of Arabidopsis vascular-enriched BR receptors, and showed how inhibition of BR signaling influences wood development at the mRNA level. Six Populus PdBRI1 genes form three gene pairs and each exhibits high expression in the basal stems. Simultaneous mutation of PdBRI1-1, 2, 3 and 6, the orthologs of Arabidopsis vascular-enriched BR receptors BRI1, BRL1 and BRL3, resulted in a severe defect in growth. Particularly, the stems of these mutant lines displayed a discontinuous ring of cambium and patterning defects in derived secondary vascular tissues. Abnormal formation of cambia within cortical parenchyma was also observed in the stem of pdbri1-1;2;3;6. Transgenic poplars editing PdBRI1-1 or PdBRI1-1;2;6 had phenotypic alterations in stem development at 4.5 months of growth, indicating functional redundancy among these PdBRI1 genes. An integrated analysis of the transcriptome from pdbri1-1;2;3;6 stems revealed differential expression of a number of genes associated with wood development and hormones.

Project description:The spongiolactones are marine natural products with an unusual rearranged spongiane skeleton and a fused β-lactone ring. These compounds have potential anticancer properties, but their mode of action has yet to be explored. Here we employ activity-based protein profiling to identify the targets of a more potent spongiolactone derivative (probe 3) in live cancer cells, and compare these to the target profile of a simpler β-lactone (probe 4). Furthermore, we treat K562 cells with probe 3 and perform quantitative proteomic analysis of the global proteome after 24 hrs. Together, these proteomic data provide the first insights into the covalent mechanism of action of this natural product class.
