DK5653/DK1622 Vegetative

ABSTRACT: Isovaleryl-CoA (IV-CoA) is usually derived from the degradation of leucine using the Bkd (branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase) complex. In myxobacteria we have previously identified an alternative pathway for IV-CoA formation that branches from the well-known mevalonate dependent isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway and we could already identify the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase (MvaS) to be involved in this pathway in Myxococcus xanthus which is induced under leucine limiting conditions like in mutants impaired in leucine degradation or during myxobacterial fruiting body formation. Here we show that proteins involved in leucine degradation are also involved in the alternative IV-CoA biosynthesis by catalyzing the reverse reactions of that used in leucine degradation. Moreover, we conducted a global gene expression experiment comparing vegetative cells of wild type and a bkd mutant. Thus we could identify a five-gene operon which was highly upregulated in a bkd mutant and that contains the mvaS gene and other genes which might be involved in a mevalonate-shunt pathway leading from mevalonate to 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA. Additionally, several genes involved in outer membrane biosynthesis and a plethora of genes encoding regulatory proteins are decreased explaining the complex phenotype of a bkd mutant that includes a lack of adhesion in developmental submers culture. Keywords: Vegetative growth mutant vs. wild-type comparison

Lovastatin effect on breast tumors in HER2/neu transgenic mice

Project description:The statins are a family of inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase enzyme, which converts acetyl-CoA into mevalonic acid. Since HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the mevalonate pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, it was thought that the major clinical benefit of statins was to reduce cholesterol levels in the bloodstream; statins are thus in wide clinical use for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, mevalonate is also the precursor of isoprenoid compounds, which are substrates for the post-translational modification of many proteins involved in cell signaling. The blockade of isoprenoid synthesis might explain the pleiotropic effects described for statins in extrahepatic tissues, including inhibition of pathogen infection and anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. We used microarrays to find differentially expressed genes in spontaneous breast tumors from mice treated with lovastatin (Lov) or vehicle (ethanol) as control. Standard single channel experimental design with biological replicates: gene expression signals from 5 treated tumor samples were compared to 5 non-treated tumor samples using Affymetrix GeneChips (MG430 v2.0).

Role of mevalonate pathway intermediates in anticancer effect of statins

Project description:Simvastatin has been widely used for treatment of hypercholesterolemia due to its ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the rate limiting enzyme of de novo cholesterol synthesis via mevalonate pathway. Its inhibitory action causes also depletion of pathway intermediates, farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), which are inevitable for proper targeting of small GTPases (e.g. Ras proteins) to their site of action. We profiled by array the gene expression of MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with simvastatin, FPP, GGPP and their combinations. The inhibitory effect of statins on GFP-K-Ras protein trafficking were partially prevented by addition of the mevalonate pathway intermediates. We conclude that the anticancer effect of simvastatin is to a large extent mediated through isoprenoid intermediates of the mevalonate pathway.

Leucine metabolism regulates TRI6 expression and affects deoxynivalenol production and virulence in Fusarium graminearum

Project description:TRI6 is a positive regulator of the trichothecene gene cluster and the production of trichothecene mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol [DON] and acetylated forms such as 15-ADON) in the cereal pathogen F. graminearum. As a global transcriptional regulator, TRI6 expression is modulated by nitrogen-limiting conditions, sources of nitrogen and carbon, pH, and light. However, the mechanism by which these diverse environmental factors affect TRI6 expression remains under-explored. In our effort to understand how nutrients affect TRI6 regulation, comparative digital expression profiling was performed with a wildtype F. graminearum and a Δtri6 mutant strain, grown in nutrient-rich conditions. Analysis showed that TRI6 negatively regulates genes of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolic pathway. Feeding studies with deletion mutants of MCC, encoding methylcrotonyl-CoA-carboxylase, one of the key enzymes of leucine metabolism, showed that addition of leucine specifically down regulated TRI6 expression and reduced 15-ADON accumulation. Constitutive expression of TRI6 in the Δmcc mutant strain restored 15-ADON production. A combination of cellophane breach assays and pathogenicity experiments on wheat demonstrated that disrupting the leucine metabolic pathway significantly reduced disease. These findings suggest a complex interaction between one of the primary metabolic pathways with a global regulator of mycotoxin biosynthesis and virulence in F. graminearum. Triplicate samples of digital gene expression profiling data for the Tri6 mutant and wildtype strains were compared. **Please note that the raw data files for the current study are no longer available, and therefore are not included in the submission.

SWATH-MS analysis of transgenic tobacco overexpressing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase

Project description:3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (HMGS) is the second enzyme in the mevalonate pathway. While the recombinant Brassica juncea HMGS1 (BjHMGS1) mutant S359A displayed 10-fold higher enzyme activity than wild-type (wt) BjHMGS1, transgenic tobacco overexpressing S359A (OE-S359A) exhibited greater sterol content, growth rate and seed yield than OE-wtBjHMGS1. To explore the mechanism of HMGS and its mutant (S359A) in promotion of plant growth, SWATH-MS quantitative proteomics analysis was performed.

Mutant p53 Disrupts Mammary Acinar Morphogenesis via the Mevalonate Pathway

Project description:p53 is a frequent target for mutation in human tumors and previous studies have revealed that these missense mutant proteins can actively contribute to tumorigenesis. To elucidate how mutant p53 might contribute to mammary carcinogenesis we employed a three-dimensional (3D) culture model. In 3D culture non-malignant breast epithelial cells form structures reminiscent of acinar structures found in vivo, whereas breast cancer cells form highly disorganized and in some cases invasive structures. We found that mutant p53 depletion is sufficient to phenotypically revert breast cancer cells to a more acinar-like morphology. Genome-wide expression analysis identified the sterol biosynthesis, or mevalonate, pathway as significantly upregulated by a tumor-derived mutant p53. Using statins and sterol biosynthesis intermediates, we demonstrate that this pathway is both necessary and sufficient for the phenotypic effects of mutant p53 on breast tissue architecture. Mutant p53 associates with the sterol gene promoters at least partly via the SREBP transcription factors. Finally, p53 mutation correlates with higher levels of sterol biosynthesis genes in human breast tumors. This activity of mutant p53 not only contributes insight into breast carcinogenesis, but also implicates the mevalonate pathway as a new therapeutic target for tumors bearing such mutations in p53.

Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 TadA-homolog deletion mutants accumulate less polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) that the parental strain

Project description:Transcriptome studies confirm the nitrogen limited physiological state of both the wild-type and mutant cells. In addition, multiple differentially expressed genes involved in the synthesis and consumption of pools of acetyl-CoA, acetoacetyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, key metabolites for PHA and TAG synthesis, were identified. An enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in the nitrogen starved wild-type versus the isogenic RHA1_ro02104 mutant strain identified genes in the mutant involved in fatty acid and lipid as well as genes involved in acyl-CoA hydrolysis and triacylglycerol degradation. An 8 x 15K array study using total RNA recovered from triplicate cultures of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 under nitrogen rich and nitrogen starved conditions and triplicate cultures of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 TadA-homolog deletion mutants (2104) under nitrogen rich and nitrogen starved conditions.
