Project description:Patients with congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), type Ib (MPI-CDG or CDG-Ib) have mutations in phosphomannose isomerase (MPI) that impair glycosylation and lead to stunted growth, liver dysfunction, coagulopathy, hypoglycemia, and intestinal abnormalities. Mannose supplements correct hypoglycosylation and most symptoms by providing mannose-6-P (Man-6-P) via hexokinase. We generated viable Mpi hypomorphic mice with residual enzymatic activity comparable to that of patients, but surprisingly, these mice appeared completely normal except for modest (~15%) embryonic lethality. To overcome this lethality, pregnant dams were provided 1-2% mannose in their drinking water. However, mannose further reduced litter size and survival to weaning by 40 and 66%, respectively. Moreover, ~50% of survivors developed eye defects beginning around midgestation. Mannose started at birth also led to eye defects but had no effect when started after eye development was complete. Man-6-P and related metabolites accumulated in the affected adult eye and in developing embryos and placentas. Our results demonstrate that disturbing mannose metabolic flux in mice, especially during embryonic development, induces a highly specific, unanticipated pathological state. It is unknown whether mannose is harmful to human fetuses during gestation; however, mothers who are at risk for having MPI-CDG children and who consume mannose during pregnancy hoping to benefit an affected fetus in utero should be cautious.

Project description:YEAST STRAIN: A genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain with PMI40 knockout (MATa URA3 TRP1 LEU2 his3- 1 MAL2-8C SUC2 PMI40::HIS3). The parent strain was CEN.PK113-7A (MATa URA3 TRP1 LEU2 his3- 1 MAL2-8C SUC2) obtained from Euroscarf (9). CULTIVATION MEDIUM: The mineral medium used for the bioreactor cultivations was based on the composition described by Verduyn and co-workers (11). The medium consisted of 5 g/l (NH4)2SO4 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), 3 g/l KH2PO4 (Fluka, Swizerland) and 0.5 g/l MgSO4 × 7 H2O (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), as well as 1 ml/l trace element and 1 ml/l vitamin solution. The composition of the trace element solution was 15 g/l EDTA, 4.5 g/l ZnSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.84 g/l MnCl2 × H2O, 0.3 g/l CuSO4 × 5 H2O, 3 g/l FeSO4 × 7 H2O (Riedel-de-Haën AG, Germany), 0.1 g/l KI, 0.3 g/l CoCl3 × 6 H2O, 1 g/l H3BO3, 4.5 g/l CaCl2 × 2 H2O (Merck, Germany), and 0.4 g/l Na2MoO4 × 2 H2O (BDH Laboratory Supplies, UK). The composition of the vitamin solution was 0.05 g/l D-Biotin, 1 g/l Ca-pantothenate, 1 g/l Nicotinic acid, 25 g/l myo-inositol, 1 g/l Thiamine-HCl, 1 g/l Pyridoxine HCl, and 0.2 g/l p-aminobenzoic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). The media in each cultivation contained initially 15 g/L D-glucose and a varying amount of D-mannose (0.75 g/L, 1.0 g/L, 1.5 g/L, 3.0 g/L, or 5.0 g/L). CULTIVATIONS AND SAMPLING: Bioreactor cultivations were performed in 3.2 l Braun Biostat CT2-DCU 3 instruments (B. Braun Biotech International GmbH, Germany). The cultivation temperature was +30 °C, agitation speed 1000 rpm, initial cultivation volume 2.0 l, airflow 1.0 l/min, and pH 5.0. In each cultivation, samples for the measurement of gene expression levels were taken 6 hours after inoculation. MEASUREMENT OF GENE EXPRESSION LEVELS: 0.9 mg CDW of cells were quenched in cold (-40 °C) methanol (45%) and centrifuged (1 min, +4 °C, 16100 G). The pellets were suspended in 400 µl of breaking buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 100 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 2mM DTT), 400 µl 1:1 phenol-chloroform, and 5 µl 20% SDS. Equal volume of glass beads (diameter 0.40-0.60 mm, B.Braun Biotech International, Germany) were added and samples were shaken in a bead beater (Mini-BeadBeater-8, BioSpec Products, USA) three times 1 minute at +4 °C. The mixtures were centrifuged (15 min, +4 °C, 16100 G in 5415 R, Eppendorf AG, Germany) and supernatants were recovered. The total RNA was purified from the supernatants using the QIAGEN RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, USA) according to manufacturers instructions. After this step the double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from 15 µg of total RNA with SuperScript Double-Stranded cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen, USA) using a T7-oligo(dT) primer. Biotin-labeled cRNA was then synthesized employing an Enzo High Yield RNA Transcript Labeling Kit (Enzo Life Science, USA). The biotin-labeled cRNA was heat-fragmented and biotinylated cRNAs were hybridized to Affymetrix YG-S98 microarrays in Affymetrix Hybridization Oven 640. Washing and staining of arrays were performed using the GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 and scanning with the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000. Acquisition and quantification of array images were performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating System 1.0. The signals were scaled into target intensity of 100. All samples were assayed in triplicates. Keywords: dose response

Project description:We studied molecular and functional properties of Arabidopsis phosphomannose isomerase isoenzymes (PMI1 and PMI2) that catalyze reversible isomerization between D-fructose 6-phosphate and D-mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6P). The apparent K(m) and V(max) values for Man-6P of purified recombinant PMI1 were 41.3+/-4.2 microm and 1.89 micromol/min/mg protein, respectively, whereas those of purified recombinant PMI2 were 372+/-13 microm and 22.5 micromol/min/mg protein, respectively. Both PMI1 and PMI2 were inhibited by incubation with EDTA, Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and L-ascorbic acid (AsA). Arabidopsis PMI1 protein was constitutively expressed in both vegetative and reproductive organs under normal growth conditions, whereas the PMI2 protein was not expressed in any organs under light. The induction of PMI1 expression and an increase in the AsA level were observed in leaves under continuous light, whereas the induction of PMI2 expression and a decrease in the AsA level were observed under long term darkness. PMI1 showed a diurnal expression pattern in parallel with the total PMI activity and the total AsA content in leaves. Moreover, a reduction of PMI1 expression through RNA interference resulted in a substantial decrease in the total AsA content of leaves of knockdown PMI1 plants, whereas the complete inhibition of PMI2 expression did not affect the total AsA levels in leaves of knock-out PMI2 plants. Consequently, this study improves our understanding of the molecular and functional properties of Arabidopsis PMI isoenzymes and provides genetic evidence of the involvement of PMI1, but not PMI2, in the biosynthesis of AsA in Arabidopsis plants.

Project description:A major aspect of microbial metabolic engineering is the development of chassis hosts that have favorable global metabolic phenotypes, and can be further engineered to produce a variety of compounds. In this work, we focus on the problem of decoupling growth and production in the model bacterium Escherichia coli, and in particular on the maintenance of active metabolism during nitrogen-limited stationary phase. We find that by overexpressing the enzyme PtsI, a component of the glucose uptake system that is inhibited by α-ketoglutarate during nitrogen limitation, we are able to achieve a fourfold increase in metabolic rates. Alternative systems were also tested: chimeric PtsI proteins hypothesized to be insensitive to α-ketoglutarate did not improve metabolic rates under the conditions tested, whereas systems based on the galactose permease GalP suffered from energy stress and extreme sensitivity to expression level. Overexpression of PtsI is likely to be a useful arrow in the metabolic engineer's quiver as productivity of engineered pathways becomes limited by central metabolic rates during stationary phase production processes.

Project description:Individuals with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) have recessive mutations in genes required for protein N-glycosylation, resulting in multi-systemic disease. Despite the well-characterized biochemical consequences in these individuals, the underlying cellular defects that contribute to CDG are not well understood. Synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), which serves as the sugar donor for the N-glycosylation of secretory proteins, requires conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to mannose-6-phosphate via the phosphomannose isomerase (MPI) enzyme. Individuals who are deficient in MPI present with bleeding, diarrhea, edema, gastrointestinal bleeding and liver fibrosis. MPI-CDG patients can be treated with oral mannose supplements, which is converted to mannose-6-phosphate through a minor complementary metabolic pathway, restoring protein glycosylation and ameliorating most symptoms, although liver disease continues to progress. Because Mpi deletion in mice causes early embryonic lethality and thus is difficult to study, we used zebrafish to establish a model of MPI-CDG. We used a morpholino to block mpi mRNA translation and established a concentration that consistently yielded 13% residual Mpi enzyme activity at 4 days post-fertilization (dpf), which is within the range of MPI activity detected in fibroblasts from MPI-CDG patients. Fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis detected decreased LLO and N-glycans in mpi morphants. These deficiencies resulted in 50% embryonic lethality by 4 dpf. Multi-systemic abnormalities, including small eyes, dysmorphic jaws, pericardial edema, a small liver and curled tails, occurred in 82% of the surviving larvae. Importantly, these phenotypes could be rescued with mannose supplementation. Thus, parallel processes in fish and humans contribute to the phenotypes caused by Mpi depletion. Interestingly, mannose was only effective if provided prior to 24 hpf. These data provide insight into treatment efficacy and the broader molecular and developmental abnormalities that contribute to disorders associated with defective protein glycosylation.

Project description:The growing burden of liver fibrosis and lack of effective antifibrotic therapies highlight the need for identification of pathways and complementary model systems of hepatic fibrosis. A rare, monogenic disorder in which children with mutations in mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) develop liver fibrosis led us to explore the function of MPI and mannose metabolism in liver development and adult liver diseases. Herein, analyses of transcriptomic data from three human liver cohorts demonstrate that MPI gene expression is down-regulated proportionate to fibrosis in chronic liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatitis B virus. Depletion of MPI in zebrafish liver in vivo and in human hepatic stellate cell (HSC) lines in culture activates fibrotic responses, indicating that loss of MPI promotes HSC activation. We further demonstrate that mannose supplementation can attenuate HSC activation, leading to reduced fibrogenic activation in zebrafish, culture-activated HSCs, and in ethanol-activated HSCs. Conclusion: These data indicate the prospect that modulation of mannose metabolism pathways could reduce HSC activation and improve hepatic fibrosis.

Project description:Cells undergo metabolic adaptation during environmental changes by using evolutionarily conserved stress response programs. This metabolic homeostasis is exquisitely regulated, and its imbalance could underlie human pathological conditions. We report here that C9orf72, which is linked to the most common forms of the neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is a key regulator of lipid metabolism under stress. Loss of C9orf72 leads to an overactivation of starvation-induced lipid metabolism that is mediated by dysregulated autophagic digestion of lipids and increased de novo fatty acid synthesis. C9orf72 acts by promoting the lysosomal degradation of coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), which in turn regulates autophagy-lysosomal functions and lipid metabolism. In ALS/FTD patient-derived neurons or tissues, a reduction in C9orf72 function is associated with dysregulation in the levels of CARM1, fatty acids, and NADPH oxidase NOX2. These results reveal a C9orf72-CARM1 axis in the control of stress-induced lipid metabolism and implicates epigenetic dysregulation in relevant human diseases.

Project description:The E. coli phosphomannose isomerase (EcPMI) gene is widely used as a selectable marker gene (SMG) in mannose (Man) selection-based plant transformation. Although some plant species exhibit significant PMI activity and active PMIs were even identified in Man-sensitive plants, whether plant PMIs can be used as SMGs remains unclear. In this study, we isolated four novel PMI genes from Chlorella variabilis and Oryza sativa. Their isoenzymatic activities were examined in vitro and compared with that of EcPMI. The active plant PMIs were separately constructed into binary vectors as SMGs and then transformed into rice via Agrobacterium. In both Indica and Japonica subspecies, our results indicated that the plant PMIs could select and produce transgenic plants in a pattern similar to that of EcPMI. The transgenic plants exhibited an accumulation of plant PMI transcripts and enhancement of the in vivo PMI activity. Furthermore, a gene of interest was successfully transformed into rice using the plant PMIs as SMGs. Thus, novel SMGs for Man selection were isolated from plants, and our analysis suggested that PMIs encoding active enzymes might be common in plants and could potentially be used as appropriate genetic elements in cisgenesis engineering.
