Project description:Bacteria are known to cope with environmental changes by using alternative sigma factors binding to RNA polymerase core enzyme. Sigma factor is one of the targets to modify transcription regulation in bacteria and to influence production capacities. In this study, the effect of overexpressing all annotated sigma factor genes on C. glutamicum WT was assayed using an IPTG inducible plasmid system and different IPTG concentrations. It was revealed that growth was severely decreased when sigD or sigH were overexpressed with IPTG concentrations higher than 50 μM. Overexpression of sigH led to an obvious phenotypic change, a yellow-colored supernatant. HPLC analysis revealed that riboflavin was excreted to the medium when sigH was overexpressed and DNA Microarray analysis confirmed increased expression of riboflavin biosynthesis genes. In addition, genes for enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway and for enzymes dependent on FMN, FAD or NADPH as cofactor were upregulated when sigH was overexpressed. To test if sigH overexpression can be exploited for production of riboflavin-derived FMN or FAD, the endogenous gene for bifunctional riboflavin kinase/FMN adenyltransferase was co-expressed with sigH from a plasmid. Balanced expression of sigH and ribF improved accumulation of riboflavin (19.8 ± 0.3 μM) and allowed for its conversion to FMN (33.1 ± 1.8 μM) in the supernatant. While a proof-of-concept was reached, conversion was not complete and titers were not high. This study revealed that inducible and gradable overexpression of sigma factor genes is an interesting approach to switch gene expression profiles and to discover untapped potential of bacteria for chemical production. Endogenous sigma factor gene, sigH, was overexpressed in C. glutamicum ATCC13032 from IPTG inducible vector, pEKEx3. Two different concentration of IPTG (10 μM and 15 μM) was used for induction of SigH expression.

Project description:Respiratory complex I plays a crucial role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and shows promise as a therapeutic target for various human diseases. While most studies focus on inhibiting complex I at the Q-site, little is known about inhibitors targeting other sites within the complex. In this study, we demonstrate that diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a known N-site inhibitor, uniquely affects the stability of complex I by inhibiting its flavin cofactor FMN. Treatment with DPI blocks the final stage of complex I assembly, leading to the accumulation of assembly intermediates that lack the N-module. Remarkably, high-dose DPI treatment can completely and reversibly degrade complex I in different cellular models. The mechanism involves the accumulation of DPI in mitochondria, where it reacts with FMN, depleting the effective pool of FMN and halting complex I maturation. Consistently, growing cells in medium lacking the FMN precursor riboflavin or knocking out the mitochondrial FAD carrier gene SLC25A32 results in complex I degradation and impairs complex I-dependent respiration. Overall, our findings establish a direct connection between mitochondrial flavin homeostasis and complex I stability and assembly, paving the way for novel pharmacological strategies to regulate respiratory complex I.

Project description:Genes encoding dodecin proteins are present in almost 20% of archaeal and in more than 50% of bacterial genomes. Archaeal dodecins bind riboflavin (vitamin B2), are thought to play a role in flavin homeostasis and possibly also help to protect cells from radical or oxygenic stress. Bacterial dodecins were found to bind riboflavin-5’-phosphate (also called flavin mononucleotide or FMN) and coenzyme A, but their physiological function remained unknown. In this study, we set out to investigate the relevance of dodecins for flavin metabolism and oxidative stress management in the phylogenetically related bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces davawensis. Therfore we have treated Streptomyces coelicolor wildtype, Streptomyces davawensis wildytype and Streptomyces davawensis dodecin deletion strain with plumbagin, a compound, which induces oxidative stress in exponential and stationary growth phase and analysed the transcriptome via RNA-seq (Illumina TruSeq stranded mRNA libraries sequenced on Illumina HiSeq rapid mode 2 x 70nt PE).

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is hallmarked by progressive neurodegeneration. Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is thought to play a pivotal role in driving AD pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use yeast genome-scale screening to study global synthetic genetic interactions and identify toxicity modifiers of Aβ42. We find that the gene encoding riboflavin kinase (FMN1) and its metabolic product flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are connected to AD. These relationship between Aβ42 and FMN was previously unknown. As a cofactor for flavoenzymes, FMN supplementation appears to attune many cellular processes to ameliorate Aβ42 toxicity. RNA-seq analysis further confirms FMN’s cytoprotective mechanisms. Our findings provide increased understanding of FMN regulated cellular pathways which are associated with potential targets for AD treatment.

Project description:Adipogenic differentiation and metabolic adaptation are initiated through transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming. In particular, dynamic changes in histone modifications may play central roles in the rearrangement of gene expression patterns. LSD1 (KDM1) protein, encoded by aof2 gene, is a histone demethylase, which is involved in transcriptional regulation. Since the enzymatic activity of LSD1 is FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide)-dependent, its effects on gene expression may be influenced by FAD availability. To address the importance of histone demethylation in adipogenic differentiation and function, we performed cDNA microarray in LSD1-deficient 3T3-L1 cells as well as in the cells treated with LSD1 inhibitor tranylcypromine (TC). FAD-synthesizing enyme, riboflavin kinase (RFK) -deficient cells were also subjected to the microarray analysis. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were transfected with aof2- or rfk- specific siRNA or control siRNA (siGL3) . 24 hours later, cells were subjected to adipogenic induction. 24 hours later, cells were harvested for total RNA extraction. For the TC treatment, TC was added to the adipogenic induction medium.

Project description:RNA viruses have developed elaborate strategies for 5’ capping and protection of their genomes. However, so far no 5’ RNA cap has been identified for Hepatitis C virus (HCV), which cause chronic infection, liver cirrhosis and cancer in humans4. Here, we demonstrate that the cellular metabolite flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is used as noncanonical initiating nucleotide by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase resulting in a 5’ FAD cap on the HCV RNA. FAD capping is completely conserved for the HCV replication intermediate negative RNA strand and partially for the positive RNA strand. The prototype strain J6/JFH1 RNA is FAD capped when isolated from the liver and serum of a human liver chimeric mouse model and in vitro the FAD capping frequency is ~75 %, which is the highest metabolite RNA capping frequency observed. Furthermore, we show that 5’ FAD capping protects RNA from cell-intrinsic innate immune recognition but has limited effect on HCV RNA stability. These results establish capping with cellular metabolites, such as FAD, as a novel viral RNA capping and immune evasion strategy, which potentially could be used by many viruses for protection of their intermediate RNA strands and thereby affect viral treatment outcomes and persistency.

Project description:We explored the interactome of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and the matrix of UV-immobilised FAD bound more than 3,000 proteins from SW-620 lysate. GO enrichment analysis showed that about 600 RNA-binding proteins were bound to FAD beads and, surprisingly, more than 40 proteins showed clear dose-dependent binding competition with nanomolar affinities indicating that their direct or indirect interaction with free FAD is both specific and strong. Among the few known consensus sequences for RNA-binding proteins, we selected the PUF motif 5'-UGUANAUA-3' to investigate whether FAD is binding the Pumilio homologs PUM1 and PUM2 in their RNA-binding pocket, as both these proteins showed dose-response behaviour in the FAD versus FAD-beads. Immobilisation of an oligomer containing the consensus sequence on NHS-activated Sepharose beads yielded PUM-beads that did enrich the Pumilio homologs. Oligomer vs FAD-beads and FAD vs PUM-beads together with the FAD vs FAD-beads dose-response competition indicated that the binding of FAD does not seem to influence the binding of the RNA. It is therefore most likely that FAD binding is allosteric for PUMs.

Project description:Exposure to environmental stress has a clinically established influence on male reproductive health, but the impact of normal cellular metabolism on sperm quality and function is less well-defined. Here we show that homeostatic changes in mitochondrial dynamics driven by defective mitochondrial proline catabolism result in pleiotropic consequences on sperm quality and competitive fitness. Disruption of alh-6, which converts 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to glutamate, results in P5C accumulation that drives oxidative stress, activation of the cytoprotective transcription factor SKN-1, and a reduction of energy-storing flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) levels. These molecular changes lead to premature male reproductive senescence by reducing sperm quality. These sperm-specific defects are suppressed by abating P5C metabolism, by treatment with antioxidants to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS), or by feeding diets that restore FAD levels. Our results define a role for mitochondrial proline catabolism and FAD homeostasis on sperm function and specify strategies to pharmacologically reverse unintended outcomes from SKN-1/Nrf transcriptional activation.
