The reaction of choline dehydrogenase with some electron acceptors.

ABSTRACT: 1. The choline dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.1) WAS SOLUBILIZED FROM ACETONE-DRIED POWDERS OF RAT LIVER MITOCHONDRIA BY TREATMENT WITH Naja naja venom. 2. The kinetics of the reaction of enzyme with phenazine methosulphate and ubiquinone-2 as electron acceptors were investigated. 3. With both electron acceptors the reaction mechanism appears to involve a free, modified-enzyme intermediate. 4. With some electron acceptors the maximum velocity of the reaction is independent of the nature of the acceptor. With phenazine methosulphate and ubiquinone-2 as acceptors the Km value for choline is also independent of the nature of the acceptor molecule. 5. The mechanism of the Triton X-100-solubilized enzyme is apparently the smae as that for the snake venom solubilized enzyme.

Catalytic reaction of cytokinin dehydrogenase: preference for quinones as electron acceptors.

Project description:The catalytic reaction of cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.12) was studied in detail using the recombinant flavoenzyme from maize. Determination of the redox potential of the covalently linked flavin cofactor revealed a relatively high potential dictating the type of electron acceptor that can be used by the enzyme. Using 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol, 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone or 1,4-naphthoquinone as electron acceptor, turnover rates with N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine of approx. 150 s(-1) could be obtained. This suggests that the natural electron acceptor of the enzyme is quite probably a p-quinone or similar compound. By using the stopped-flow technique, it was found that the enzyme is rapidly reduced by N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (k(red)=950 s(-1)). Re-oxidation of the reduced enzyme by molecular oxygen is too slow to be of physiological relevance, confirming its classification as a dehydrogenase. Furthermore, it was established for the first time that the enzyme is capable of degrading aromatic cytokinins, although at low reaction rates. As a result, the enzyme displays a dual catalytic mode for oxidative degradation of cytokinins: a low-rate and low-substrate specificity reaction with oxygen as the electron acceptor, and high activity and strict specificity for isopentenyladenine and analogous cytokinins with some specific electron acceptors.

The reaction of mitochondrial L-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase with various electron acceptors.

Project description:1. The kinetics of the reaction of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase with a variety of electron acceptors have been investigated. 2. In all cases the reaction mechanism appears to involve a free modified-enzyme intermediate. 3. With some electron acceptors, the maximum velocity of the reaction and the K(m) for glycerophosphate are independent of the nature of the electron acceptor, whereas in other cases this is not so. 4. The reaction mechanism of the enzyme extracted with phospholipase A instead of with Triton X-100 is of a similar type.

Methylomes of Geobacter sulfurreducens Grown on Different Terminal Electron Acceptors

Project description:The Geobacter species evolved respiratory versatility to utilize a wide range of terminal electron acceptors. To explore this adaptive mechanism, Fe(III) citrate, hydrous ferric oxide, and fumarate were selected as electron acceptors, and the methylome and metabolome of Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA grown on each electron acceptor were investigated via third-generation, single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing.Results showed that the patterns of 4-methylcytosine (m4C) and 6-methyladenine (m6A) modification were all varied in different electron acceptor cultures. Moreover, genes (e.g., GSU0466 and GSU1467) with low expression levels generally had high methylation levels. These findings suggest that m4C and m6A modifications play a role in the adaption of G. sulfurreducens to diverse electron acceptors, and DNA methylation may be involved in the adaption mainly via gene expression regulation.

Understanding the chemistry of the artificial electron acceptors PES, PMS, DCPIP and Wurster's Blue in methanol dehydrogenase assays.

Project description:Methanol dehydrogenases (MDH) have recently taken the spotlight with the discovery that a large portion of these enzymes in nature utilize lanthanides in their active sites. The kinetic parameters of these enzymes are determined with a spectrophotometric assay first described by Anthony and Zatman 55 years ago. This artificial assay uses alkylated phenazines, such as phenazine ethosulfate (PES) or phenazine methosulfate (PMS), as primary electron acceptors (EAs) and the electron transfer is further coupled to a dye. However, many groups have reported problems concerning the bleaching of the assay mixture in the absence of MDH and the reproducibility of those assays. Hence, the comparison of kinetic data among MDH enzymes of different species is often cumbersome. Using mass spectrometry, UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we show that the side reactions of the assay mixture are mainly due to the degradation of assay components. Light-induced demethylation (yielding formaldehyde and phenazine in the case of PMS) or oxidation of PES or PMS as well as a reaction with assay components (ammonia, cyanide) can occur. We suggest here a protocol to avoid these side reactions. Further, we describe a modified synthesis protocol for obtaining the alternative electron acceptor, Wurster's blue (WB), which serves both as EA and dye. The investigation of two lanthanide-dependent methanol dehydrogenases from Methylorubrum extorquens AM1 and Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV with WB, along with handling recommendations, is presented. Lanthanide-dependent methanol dehydrogenases. Understanding the chemistry of artificial electron acceptors and redox dyes can yield more reproducible results.

Reduction of alternative electron acceptors drives biofilm formation in Shewanella algae

Project description:Shewanella spp. possess a broad respiratory versatility, which contributes to the occupation of hypoxic/anoxic environmental or host-associated niches. Here we observed a strain-specific induction of biofilm formation in response to supplementation with the anaerobic electron acceptors dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and nitrate in a panel of Shewanella algae isolates. The respiration-driven biofilm response is not observed in DMSO and nitrate reductase deletion mutants of the type strain S. algae CECT 5071, and can be restored upon complementation with the corresponding reductase operon(s) but not by an operon containing a catalytically inactive nitrate reductase. The distinct transcriptional changes, proportional to the effect of these compounds on biofilm formation, include cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) turnover genes. In support, ectopic expression of the c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase YhjH of Salmonella Typhimurium but not its catalytically inactive variant decreased biofilm formation. The respiration-dependent biofilm response of S. algae may permit differential colonization of environmental or host niches.

Global transcriptional response to electron acceptors AKB and pyruvate in K562 cells

Project description:We report the effects of two metabolites alpha-ketobutyrate and pyruvate on transcription of K562 cells. Increased cell size associates with electron acceptor limitation. Using four replicates per condition, we find that electron acceptors alleviate endoplasmic reticulum stress response in these cells as evidenced by reduction of amino acid transporter as well as ATF4 and CHOP expression.

Exploring the Association of Electron-Donating Corroles with Phthalocyanines as Electron Acceptors.

Project description:Electron-donating corroles (Cor) were integrated with electron-accepting phthalocyanines (Pc) to afford two different non-covalent Cor ⋅ Pc systems. At the forefront was the coordination between a 10-meso-pyridine Cor and a ZnPc. The complexation was corroborated in a combination of NMR, absorption, and fluorescence assays, and revealed association with binding constants as high as 106 m-1 . Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies evidenced that regardless of exciting Cor or Pc, the charge-separated state evolved efficiently in both cases, followed by a slow charge-recombination to reinstate the ground state. The introduction of non-covalent linkages between Cor and Pc induces sizeable differences in the context of light harvesting and transfer of charges when compared with covalently linked Cor-Pc conjugates.

Human choline dehydrogenase: medical promises and biochemical challenges.

Project description:Human choline dehydrogenase (CHD) is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria primarily in liver and kidney and catalyzes the oxidation of choline to glycine betaine. Its physiological role is to regulate the concentrations of choline and glycine betaine in the blood and cells. Choline is important for regulation of gene expression, the biosynthesis of lipoproteins and membrane phospholipids and for the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; glycine betaine plays important roles as a primary intracellular osmoprotectant and as methyl donor for the biosynthesis of methionine from homocysteine, a required step for the synthesis of the ubiquitous methyl donor S-adenosyl methionine. Recently, CHD has generated considerable medical attention due to its association with various human pathologies, including male infertility, homocysteinuria, breast cancer and metabolic syndrome. Despite the renewed interest, the biochemical characterization of the enzyme has lagged behind due to difficulties in the obtainment of purified, active and stable enzyme. This review article summarizes the medical relevance and the physiological roles of human CHD, highlights the biochemical knowledge on the enzyme, and provides an analysis based on the comparison of the protein sequence with that of bacterial choline oxidase, for which structural and biochemical information is available.

Electron-paramagnetic-resonance measurements of the electron-transfer components of the reaction centre of Rhodopseudomonas viridis. Oxidation--reduction potentials and interactions of the electron acceptors.

Project description:Oxidation-reduction potentiometry was carried out on Rhodopseudomonas viridis chromatophores. Measurements of e.p.r. signals of the semiquinone-iron type at g=1.82 have revealed a more complex situation than previously reported. The presence of three different components is indicated. The midpoint potential (E(m)) of the primary acceptor quinone/semiquinone couple was found to be approx. -165mV at pH10, with a pK being reached at around pH7.5. The primary acceptor also accepts a second electron with an E(m) of -525mV, but this redox transition exhibits a hysteresis effect. Interaction effects indicate the presence of another component with E(m) values at pH10 of approx. -165mV (pK reached at around pH7.5) for single reduction and -350mV (pK at pH10 or greater) for double reduction. It is suggested that this component is the secondary acceptor. Another semiquinone-iron-type component which gives a g=1.82 signal is also present. This component is distinguishable from the primary acceptor by its e.p.r. spectrum, which shows a double peak at g=1.82 and a g(x) line at g=1.76. This component has E(m) values at pH10 for single and double reduction of -15mV and approx. -150mV respectively. Both of these E(m) values are pH-dependent. The presence of an interaction between this component and the photoreduced primary acceptor indicates the close proximity of these components. However, the midpoint potential of this component indicates a function as a secondary electron-transport component rather than an electron acceptor in the reaction centre. The dependence of the bacteriopheophytin intermediate (I) doublet e.p.r. signal on the presence of the semiquinone-iron form of the primary acceptor is demonstrated. The midpoint potential of the I/I(-) couple is estimated to be lower than -600mV.
