Arabidopsis thaliana mitochondrial glyoxalase 2-1 exhibits beta-lactamase activity.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to determine the physiological role of Arabidopsis thaliana Glx2-1, we attempted to uncover a substrate for the enzyme. Glx2-1 did not effectively process 192 diverse substrates found in a commercial screen used for microorganism identification or exhibit arylsulfatase, lactonase, or phosphotriesterase activities. However, Glx2-1 does exhibit beta-lactamase activity with k(cat)/KM values from 10(3) to 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). Glx2-1 can hydrolyze cephalosporins and carbapenems, albeit with rate constants slower than those of most metallo-beta-lactamases. The potential role of a beta-lactamase in the mitochondria of plant cells is briefly discussed.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:We characterized the global response of plants carrying a mitochondrial dysfunction induced by the expression of the unedited form of the ATP synthase 9 subunit. The u-ATP9 transgene driven by A9 and Apetala3 promoters induce mitochondrial dysfunction revealed by a decrease in both oxygen uptake and ATP levels, with an increase in ROS and a concomitant oxidative stress response. The transcriptome analysis of young Arabidopsis flowers, validated by RT-PCR and enzymatic or functional tests, show dramatic changes in u-ATP9 plants. Both lines present a modification in the expression of several genes involved in carbon, lipid and cell wall metabolism, suggesting that an important metabolic readjustment occurs in plants with a mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, transcript levels involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, protein synthesis, and degradation are affected. Moreover, several mRNA levels for transcription factors and DNA binding proteins were also changed. Some of them are involved in stress and hormone response, suggesting that several signaling pathways overlap. Indeed, the transcriptome data reveal that the mitochondrial dysfunction dramatically alters genes involved in signaling pathways, including those involved in ethylene, absicic acid and auxin signal transduction. Our data suggest that the mitochondrial dysfunction model used in this rapport may be useful to uncover the retrograde signaling mechanism between the nucleus and mitochondria in plant cells.

Propranolol exhibits activity against hemangiomas independent of beta blockade

Project description:Propranolol is a widely used beta blocker that consists of a racemic mixture of R and S stereoisomers. Only the S stereoisomer has significant activity against the beta-adrenergic receptor. A fortuitous clinical observation was made in an infant who received propranolol for cardiac disease, and regression of a hemangioma of infancy was noted. order to gain further insights in the mechanisms of action of R-propranolol in vivo, we subjected vehicle- and R-propranolol-treated tumors to RNAseq analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that choline metabolism was the pathway most affected by R-propranolol treatment. Consistent with this, the most highly regulated gene by R-propranolol treatment was Betaine-Homocysteine Methyl Transferase (Bhmt). Other genes that are involved in tumor suppressive activities such as Early Growth Response 1 (Egr1) and AP-1 subunit, which are both transcription factors implicated in tumor suppression. Egr1 regulates important tumor suppressors such as PTEN and p53, and upregulates tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Fos, which has been known to be rearranged and expressed frequently in epithelioid hemangioma, was also upregulated in R-propranolol-treated samples. The genes identified in the RNAseq analysis pose as interesting targets for further investigations.

Mitochondrial beta-cyanoalanine synthase is essential for root hair formation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Cyanide is stoichiometrically produced as a co-product of the ethylene biosynthesis pathway, and it is detoxified by the b-cyanoalanine synthase enzyme. The molecular and phenotypical analysis of T-DNA insertional mutants of the mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1 suggests that discrete accumulation of cyanide is not toxic for the plant and does not alter mitochondrial respiration rates, but does act as a strong inhibitor of root hair development. The cys-c1 null allele is defective in root hair formation and accumulates cyanide in root tissues. The root hair defect is phenocopied in wild type plants by the exogenous addition of cyanide to the growth medium and is reversed by the addition of hydroxocobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin not only recovers the root phenotype of the mutant, but also the formation of ROS at the initial step of the root hair tip. Transcriptional profile analysis of the cys-c1 mutant reveals that cyanide accumulation acts as a repressor signal for several genes encoding enzymes involved in cell wall rebuilding and the formation of the root hair tip, as well as genes involved in ethylene signaling and metabolism. Our results demonstrate that mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase activity is essential to maintain a low level of cyanide for proper root hair development. Using Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of roots of the cys-c1 and wild type plants. Total RNA was extracted from roots of 14-days-old plants grown under identical conditions on MS medium (three biological replicates for each genotype), and these samples were used to prepare complementary RNA and and analyzed using the Affymetrix-Arabidopsis ATH1GeneChip array.
