Exogenous acetate ion reaches the type II copper centre in CueO through the water-excretion channel and potentially affects the enzymatic activity.

ABSTRACT: The acetate-bound form of the type II copper was found in the X-ray structure of the multicopper oxidase CueO crystallized in acetate buffer in addition to the conventional OH(-)-bound form as the major resting form. The acetate ion was retained bound to the type II copper even after prolonged exposure of a CueO crystal to X-ray radiation, which led to the stepwise reduction of the Cu centres. However, in this study, when CueO was crystallized in citrate buffer the OH(-)-bound form was present exclusively. This fact shows that an exogenous acetate ion reaches the type II Cu centre through the water channel constructed between domains 1 and 3 in the CueO molecule. It was also found that the enzymatic activity of CueO is enhanced in the presence of acetate ions in the solvent water.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisType 1 diabetes complicated by hypoglycaemia is prevalent in socioeconomically deprived populations. Islet transplantation is of proven efficacy in type 1 diabetes complicated by hypoglycaemia, but it is not known if nationally funded programmes reach the socioeconomically deprived. Our aim was to determine: (1) socioeconomic indices in participants referred to our nationally funded programme; and (2) if metabolic outcomes in our transplant recipients were improved.MethodsParticipants referred (n = 106) and receiving transplants (n = 18; 32 infusions) were examined with respect to socioeconomic status (deprivation category score) and their ability to work and drive. In participants followed for ≥12 months after transplantation, metabolic and anthropometric measurements (n = 14) were recorded pre- and post-transplant (assessed ~1, ~3, ~6 and ~12 months with mixed-meal tolerance tests and 6 day continuous glucose monitoring assessments). Donor data was also examined.ResultsThere was a greater prevalence of socioeconomic deprivation in referred and transplant recipients than the general population (p < 0.05). Of the transplant recipients, 73% were socioeconomically deprived, 88% did not hold a driver's license and 94% had reduced ability to work (all p < 0.01 vs referred participants). Donors were predominantly obese and included circulatory death donors. At 12 months, 93% of participants who had received transplants had graft function, diminished frequency of hypoglycaemia (10 [4-11] vs 0 [0-2] hypoglycaemic episodes/week), improved awareness of hypoglycaemia (Gold score 7 [5-7] vs 1 [1-2]) and glycaemic control (HbA1c: 7.9% [7.2-8.5%]; 63 [55-69] mmol/mol vs 7.2% [6.8-7.5%]; 55 [51-58] mmol/mol), diminished glycaemic lability and decreased central adiposity (all p < 0.05).Conclusions/interpretationA nationally funded islet transplant programme reaches the socioeconomically deprived and outcomes are significantly improved in this group.
