Project description:Oxalate oxidase is a manganese containing enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of oxalate to carbon dioxide in a reaction that is coupled with the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Oxalate oxidase from Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (CsOxOx) is the first fungal and bicupin enzyme identified that catalyzes this reaction. Potential applications of oxalate oxidase for use in pancreatic cancer treatment, to prevent scaling in paper pulping, and in biofuel cells have highlighted the need to understand the extent of the hydrogen peroxide inhibition of the CsOxOx catalyzed oxidation of oxalate. We apply a membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) assay to directly measure initial rates of carbon dioxide formation and oxygen consumption in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide. This work demonstrates that hydrogen peroxide is both a reversible noncompetitive inhibitor of the CsOxOx catalyzed oxidation of oxalate and an irreversible inactivator. The build-up of the turnover-generated hydrogen peroxide product leads to the inactivation of the enzyme. The introduction of catalase to reaction mixtures protects the enzyme from inactivation allowing reactions to proceed to completion. Circular dichroism spectra indicate that no changes in global protein structure take place in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, we show that the CsOxOx catalyzed reaction with the three carbon substrate mesoxalate consumes oxygen which is in contrast to previous proposals that it catalyzed a non-oxidative decarboxylation with this substrate.

Project description:1. The products of the lactoperoxidase-catalysed oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide were sulphate, carbon dioxide and ammonia. Cyanate, sulphite and a compound showing increased extinction at 235mmu (the ;235 compound') were intermediate oxidation products. 2. Two of the intermediates acted as electron acceptors in the oxidation of NADH(2). Thus NADH(2) was oxidized by sulphite in the presence of lactoperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) and Mn(2+) and by the ;235 compound' in the presence of an enzyme, the NADH(2)-oxidizing enzyme, present in extracts of lactoperoxidase-resistant streptococci. Sulphur dicyanide also acted as an electron acceptor in the latter reaction. The ;235 compound' was also reduced non-enzymically by sulphite. 3. The glycolysis of lactoperoxidasesensitive streptococci suspended in glucose solution was not inhibited by sulphite, cyanate, cyanide or the ;235 compound' but was inhibited by sulphur dicyanide. The inhibition by 0.1mm-sulphur dicyanide could be reversed, as could that caused by lactoperoxidase, thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide, by washing the cells or by the addition of a cell-free extract of a lactoperoxidase-resistant streptococcus. 4. The effects of 0.1mm-sulphur dicyanide on catabolic enzymes of resting streptococci were very similar to those of the lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate-hydrogen peroxide system. Thus hexokinase was completedly inhibited, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and aldolase were partially inhibited and phosphohexokinase was little affected in both cases.

Project description:Seed germination is a critical first stage of plant development but can be arrested by factors including dormancy and environmental conditions. Strategies to enhance germination are of interest to plant breeders to ensure the ability to utilize the genetic potential residing inside a dormant seed. In this study, seed germination in two sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris L.) lines F1004 and F1015 through incubating seeds in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution was improved over 70% relative to germinating seeds through water incubation. It was further found that low germination from water incubation was caused by physical dormancy in F1015 seeds with initial seed imbibition blocked by the seed pericarp, and physiological dormancy in F1004 seeds with germination compromised due to the physiological condition of the embryo. To identify genes that are differentially expressed in response to cellular activities promoted by H2O2 during overcoming different type of dormancies, an RNA-Seq study was carried out and found H2O2 treatment during germination accelerated the degradation of seed stored mRNAs that were synthesized before or during seed storage to provide protections and maintain the dormant state. Comparison of transcripts in H2O2-treated seeds between the two sugarbeet lines identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were higher in F1004 for alleviating physiological dormancy were known to relative to gene expression regulation. The research established that H2O2 overcomes both physical and physiological dormancies by hastening the transition of seeds from dormancy into germination. More DEGs related to gene expression regulation were involved in relieving physiological dormancy which provides new knowledge about the role of exogenous H2O2 as a signaling molecule for regulating gene activities during germination. Moreover, the protocol using H2O2 to promote germination will be useful for rescuing plant germplasms with poor germination.

Project description:While the adult human heart has very limited regenerative potential, the adult zebrafish heart can fully regenerate after 20% ventricular resection. Although previous reports suggest that developmental signaling pathways such as FGF and PDGF are reused in adult heart regeneration, the underlying intracellular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we show that H2O2 acts as a novel epicardial and myocardial signal to prime the heart for regeneration in adult zebrafish. Live imaging of intact hearts revealed highly localized H2O2 (~30 μM) production in the epicardium and adjacent compact myocardium at the resection site. Decreasing H2O2 formation with the Duox inhibitors diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) or apocynin, or scavenging H2O2 by catalase overexpression markedly impaired cardiac regeneration while exogenous H2O2 rescued the inhibitory effects of DPI on cardiac regeneration, indicating that H2O2 is an essential and sufficient signal in this process. Mechanistically, elevated H2O2 destabilized the redox-sensitive phosphatase Dusp6 and hence increased the phosphorylation of Erk1/2. The Dusp6 inhibitor BCI achieved similar pro-regenerative effects while transgenic overexpression of dusp6 impaired cardiac regeneration. H2O2 plays a dual role in recruiting immune cells and promoting heart regeneration through two relatively independent pathways. We conclude that H2O2 potentially generated from Duox/Nox2 promotes heart regeneration in zebrafish by unleashing MAP kinase signaling through a derepression mechanism involving Dusp6.

Project description:Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing metalloenzymes that can cleave the glycosidic link in polysaccharides. This could become crucial for production of energy-efficient biofuels from recalcitrant polysaccharides. Although LPMOs are considered oxygenases, recent investigations have shown that H2O2 can also act as a co-substrate for LPMOs. Intriguingly, LPMOs generate H2O2 in the absence of a polysaccharide substrate. Here, we elucidate a new mechanism for H2O2 generation starting from an AA10-LPMO crystal structure with an oxygen species bound, using QM/MM calculations. The reduction level and protonation state of this oxygen-bound intermediate has been unclear. However, this information is crucial to the mechanism. We therefore investigate the oxygen-bound intermediate with quantum refinement (crystallographic refinement enhanced with QM calculations), against both X-ray and neutron data. Quantum refinement calculations suggest a Cu(ii)-O-2 system in the active site of the AA10-LPMO and a neutral protonated -NH2 state for the terminal nitrogen atom, the latter in contrast to the original interpretation. Our QM/MM calculations show that H2O2 generation is possible only from a Cu(i) center and that the most favourable reaction pathway is to involve a nearby glutamate residue, adding two electrons and two protons to the Cu(ii)-O-2 system, followed by dissociation of H2O2.

Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.

Project description:The mitochondrial presequence protease (PreP) is a member of the pitrilysin class of metalloproteases. It degrades the mitochondrial targeting presequences of mitochondria-localized proteins as well as unstructured peptides such as amyloid-β peptide. The specific activity of PreP is reduced in Alzheimer patients and animal models of Alzheimer disease. The loss of activity can be mimicked in vitro by exposure to oxidizing conditions, and indirect evidence suggested that inactivation was due to methionine oxidation. We performed peptide mapping analyses to elucidate the mechanism of inactivation. None of the 24 methionine residues in recombinant human PreP was oxidized. We present evidence that inactivation is due to oxidation of cysteine residues and consequent oligomerization through intermolecular disulfide bonds. The most susceptible cysteine residues to oxidation are Cys34, Cys112, and Cys119. Most, but not all, of the activity loss is restored by the reducing agent dithiothreitol. These findings elucidate a redox mechanism for regulation of PreP and also provide a rational basis for therapeutic intervention in conditions characterized by excessive oxidation of PreP.

Project description:1. The growth of the lactoperoxidase-sensitive Streptococcus cremoris 972 in a synthetic medium was inhibited by lactoperoxidase and thiocyanate. The glycolysis and oxygen uptake of suspensions of Strep. cremoris 972 in glucose or lactose were also inhibited. The lactoperoxidase-resistant Strep. cremoris 803 was not inhibited under these conditions but was inhibited in the absence of a source of energy. 2. Lactoperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7), thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide completely inhibited the hexokinases of non-metabolizing suspensions of both strains. The inhibition was reversible, hexokinase and glycolytic activities of Strep. cremoris 972 being restored by washing the cells free from inhibitor. The aldolase and 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase activities of Strep. cremoris 972 were partially inhibited but several other enzymes were unaffected. 3. The resistance of Strep. cremoris 803 to inhibition was not due to the lack of hydrogen peroxide formation, to the destruction of peroxide, to the inactivation of lactoperoxidase or to the operation of alternative pathways of carbohydrate metabolism. 4. A ;reversal factor', which was partially purified from extracts of Strep. cremoris 803, reversed the inhibition of glycolysis of Strep. cremoris 972. The ;reversal factor' also catalysed the oxidation of NADH(2) in the presence of an intermediate oxidation product of thiocyanate and was therefore termed the NADH(2)-oxidizing enzyme. 5. The NADH(2)-oxidizing enzyme was present in lactoperoxidase-resistant streptococci but was absent from lactoperoxidase-sensitive streptococci.

Project description:Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), that is, members of the Thaumarchaeota phylum, occur ubiquitously in the environment and are of major significance for global nitrogen cycling. However, controls on cell growth and organic carbon assimilation by AOA are poorly understood. We isolated an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon (designated strain DDS1) from seawater and used this organism to study the physiology of ammonia oxidation. These findings were confirmed using four additional Thaumarchaeota strains from both marine and terrestrial habitats. Ammonia oxidation by strain DDS1 was enhanced in coculture with other bacteria, as well as in artificial seawater media supplemented with α-keto acids (e.g., pyruvate, oxaloacetate). α-Keto acid-enhanced activity of AOA has previously been interpreted as evidence of mixotrophy. However, assays for heterotrophic growth indicated that incorporation of pyruvate into archaeal membrane lipids was negligible. Lipid carbon atoms were, instead, derived from dissolved inorganic carbon, indicating strict autotrophic growth. α-Keto acids spontaneously detoxify H2O2 via a nonenzymatic decarboxylation reaction, suggesting a role of α-keto acids as H2O2 scavengers. Indeed, agents that also scavenge H2O2, such as dimethylthiourea and catalase, replaced the α-keto acid requirement, enhancing growth of strain DDS1. In fact, in the absence of α-keto acids, strain DDS1 and other AOA isolates were shown to endogenously produce H2O2 (up to ∼4.5 μM), which was inhibitory to growth. Genomic analyses indicated catalase genes are largely absent in the AOA. Our results indicate that AOA broadly feature strict autotrophic nutrition and implicate H2O2 as an important factor determining the activity, evolution, and community ecology of AOA ecotypes.

Project description:The title compound, C6H11NO2·2H2O2, is the richest (by molar ratio) in hydrogen peroxide among the peroxosolvates of aliphatic α-amino acids. The asymmetric unit contains a zwitterionic pipecolinic acid mol-ecule and two hydrogen peroxide mol-ecules. The two crystallographically independent hydrogen peroxide mol-ecules form a different number of hydrogen bonds: one forms two as donor and two as acceptor ([2,2] mode) and the other forms two as donor and one as acceptor ([2,1] mode). The latter hydrogen peroxide mol-ecule forms infinite hydrogen-bonded hydro-peroxo chains running along the c-axis direction, which is unusual for aliphatic α-amino acid peroxosolvates.
