Co-feeding glucose with either gluconate or galacturonate during clostridial fermentations provides metabolic fine-tuning capabilities.

ABSTRACT: Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 effectively utilizes a wide range of substrates to produce commodity chemicals. When grown on substrates of different oxidation states, the organism exhibits different recycling needs of reduced intracellular electron carrying co-factors. Ratios of substrates with different oxidation states were used to modulate the need to balance electron carriers and demonstrate fine-tuned control of metabolic output. Three different oxidized substrates were first fed singularly, then in different ratios to three different strains of Clostridium sp. Growth was most robust when fed glucose in exclusive fermentations. However, the use of the other two more oxidized substrates was strain-dependent in exclusive feeds. In glucose-galacturonate mixed fermentation, the main products (acetate and butyrate) were dependant on the ratios of the substrates. Exclusive fermentation on galacturonate was nearly homoacetic. Co-utilization of galacturonate and glucose was observed from the onset of fermentation in growth conditions using both substrates combined, with the proportion of galacturonate present dictating the amount of acetate produced. For all three strains, increasing galacturonate content (%) in a mixture of galacturonate and glucose from 0 to 50, and 100, resulted in a corresponding increase in the amount of acetate produced. For example, C. acetobutylicum increased from?~?10 mM to?~?17 mM, and then?~?23 mM. No co-utilization was observed when galacturonate was replaced with gluconate in the two substrate co-feed.

Project description:To create a dataset of PSMs that does not exhibit tryptic bias, we selected PSMs with a uniform distribution of amino acids at the C-terminal peptide positions from two datasets: MassIVE-KB [Wang2018] and PROSPECT [Shouman2022]. The MassIVE-KB dataset contains 30 million PSMs and consists entirely of data generated using trypsin; hence, only a small proportion of the MassIVE-KB peptides do not end in K or R, corresponding to those that appear at the C-terminus of the corresponding protein. The PROSPECT dataset is a collection of 61 million PSMs generated from synthetic peptides. To avoid overrepresentation of some peptides in this dataset, we randomly selected at most 100 PSMs per unique peptide, similar to the processing that was done during the creation of the MassIVE-KB dataset. This pre-selection step reduced the size of the PROSPECT dataset to 12.6 million PSMs. Finally, to create a non-enzymatic dataset containing 1 million peptides, we selected 50,000 PSMs for each canonical amino acid. These PSMs were selected at random from MassIVE-KB, then supplemented as necessary from PROSPECT to obtain the desired count (see Yilmaz et al. [Yilmaz2023] Supplementary Table S1). This dataset contained PSMs from 247,859 unique peptides, which were randomly split into training, validation and test sets in the ratio 80/10/10.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are the sentinels of the mammalian immune system and they undergo a complex maturation process mediated by activation upon pathogen detection. Recent studies described the analysis of activated DCs by transcriptional profiling, but translation regulation was never taken in account. Therefore, the nature of the mRNAs being translated at various stages of DC activation was determined with the help of translational profiling, which is the sucrose gradient fractionation of polysomal-bound mRNAs combined to microarrays analysis. Total and polysomal-bound mRNA populations were compared in immature (0h) and LPS-stimulated (4h and 16h) human monocyte-derived DCs with the help of Affymetrix microarrays. Biostatistical analysis indicated that 296 mRNA molecules are translationally regulated during DC-activation. The most abundant biological process among the regulated mRNAs was protein biosynthesis, indicating the existence of a negative feedback loop regulating translation. Interestingly, a cluster of 17 ribosomal proteins were part of the regulated mRNAs, indicating that translation may be fine-tuned by particular components of the translational machinery. Our observations highlight the importance of translation regulation during the immune response, and may favour the identification of novel gene clusters or protein networks relevant for immunity. Our study also provides information on the possible absence of correlation between gene expression and real protein production in DCs. To identify translationally regulated mRNA molecules, gene expression derived from the polysome-bound mRNAs was compared by Affymetrix microarrays analysis to the gene expression derived from unfractionated total mRNAs derived from whole-cell lysates, as recently described on several reports (Johannes 1999, Rajasekhar 2003, Bushell 2006, Lü 2006, Parent 2008). Polysomal RNA (P) and total RNA (T) were isolated from MoDCs generated from four different blood donors. Since three timepoints (0h, 4h and 16h) were chosen for each blood donor and RNA type, twenty-four RNA samples were totally analyzed by microarrays.
