Project description:Lysine acetylation in proteins has recently been globally identified in bacteria and eukaryotes. Even though acetylproteins are known to be involved in various cellular processes, its physiological significance has not yet been resolved. Using a proteomics approach in combination with immunoprecipitation, we identified 197 lysine acetylation sites and 4 N-terminal acetylation sites from 128 proteins in Thermus thermophilus HB8, an extremely thermophilic eubacterium. Our analyses revealed that identified acetylproteins are well conserved across all three domains of life and are mainly involved in central metabolism and translation. To further characterize functional significance, we successfully mapped 113 acetylation sites on their 54 authentic and 59 homologous protein structures. The acetylation in the majority of proteins occurs in ordered structures and the sites were situated near the negatively charged glutamic acid residues. In addition, 59 of 103 acetylations were located within considerable distance that can disrupt electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding networks on protein surface, demonstrating the physiological significances of the acetylations. Finally, we further summarized 22 critical acetylation sites related to Schiff-base formation, ligand binding, protein-RNA and protein-protein interaction. The structural information of 113 acetylation sites provides new molecular insight into the role of lysine acetylation in the proteins. Data processing, bioinformatics: MS and MS/MS spectral data were processed by DataAnalysis 4.0 software (Bruker Daltonics). The peak lists containing m/z of precursor ions with that of their product ions were generated by the Compound-Auto MS(n) option of the DataAnalysis 4.0 software. Fifty non-deconvoluted peaks over the intensity threshold 150 and charge deconvoluted peaks in each MS/MS spectrum were exported into peak list files. The spectra were searched against our in-house T. thermophilus HB8 database, containing 2,238 protein sequence entries from the complete genome sequence using Mascot search engine (version 2.3; Matrix Science, London, UK). The acetylated peptides were identified using a mass tolerance of ±0.05 Da for precursor and product ions and allowed a maximum of 6 mis-cleavage sites for trypsin. The carbamidomethylation of cysteine was selected as a fixed modification. The oxidation of methionine, deamidation of asparagine and glutamine, acetylation of lysine and acetylation of protein N-terminus were selected as variable modifications. Only peptides in the confidence range of 99% probability (P value < 0.01) in Mascot ion score were assumed to be identified.

Project description:Hypoxia is a low oxygen condition that occurs in the developing tumor mass and that is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy. The definition of the hypoxia gene signature is fundamental for the understanding of tumor biology, as in the case of neuroblastoma, the most common pediatric solid tumor. The issue of identifying a significant group of variables in microarray gene expression experiments is particularly difficult due to the typical high dimensional nature of the data and great effort has been spent in the development of feature selection techniques. Our main goal is to define a robust hypoxia gene signature in neuroblastoma cell lines. A set of 11 neuroblastoma cell lines were cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions for 18 hours, and their gene expression profiles were measured with Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U133 Plus 2.0. We used the l1-l2 regularization framework in order to select the significant probesets defining hypoxic versus normoxic cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: The expression profiles of 11 neuroblastoma cell lines under normoxia vs hypoxia were studied.

Project description:In the experiment two groups of rats were compared. The control group consisted of 10 male, 5- to 6-weeks old, Fischer 344 (F344) rats (Nossan, Correzzana, Milan, Italy) fed a high fat, high sucrose, low fibre diet (control diet) for two weeks. This diet was based on the AIN76 diet [19], and was modified to contain 23% (w/w) fat (from corn oil) and a low level of cellulose (2% w/w), to mimic the high risk of colon cancer in human populations consuming high fat diets. The experimental group consisted of 10 male, 4- to 5-weeks old, F344 rats fed the same high fat diet as the control group in combination with 50 mg/kg red wine polyphenols for two weeks. The red wine polyphenol extract was prepared as described by Femia et al.<br> Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Midi kit (Qiagen, Milan, Italy). Equally amounts of RNA extracted from the colon mucosa of control diet-fed rats (n=10) were pooled and used as common reference for all hybridizations.

Project description:Streptococcus thermophilus is widely used in the dairy industry for the manufacturing of fermented milk and cheeses and probiotic formulations. S. thermophilus evolved from closely phylogenetically related pathogenic streptococci through loss-of-function events counterbalanced by the acquisition of relevant traits, such as lactose and urea utilization for the adaptation to the milk environment. In the context of regressive evolution, the urease gene cluster accounts for 0.9% of the total coding sequence belonging to known functional categories. The fate of ammonia and carbon dioxide derived by urea hydrolysis in several biosynthetic pathways have been depicted, and the positive effect of urease activity on S. thermophilus growth fitness and lactic acid fermentation in milk has been already addressed by several authors. However, the mechanistic effect of urea hydrolysis on the energetic metabolisms of S. thermophilus is still unclear. This study aimed to assess the effect of urease activity on the growth and energy metabolism of Streptococcus thermophilus in milk. In milk, 13C-urea was completely hydrolyzed in the first 150 min of S. thermophilus growth, and urea hydrolysis was accompanied by an increase in cell density and a reduction in the generation time. By using energetically discharged cells with gene transcription and translation blocked, we showed that in the presence of fermentable carbon sources, urease activity, specifically the production of ammonia, could dramatically boost glycolysis and, in cascade, homolactic fermentation. Furthermore, we showed that ammonia, specifically ammonium ions, were potent effectors of phosphofructokinase, a key glycolytic enzyme. IMPORTANCE Finding that ammonia-generating enzymes, such as urease, and exogenous ammonia act on phosphofructokinase activity shed new light on the regulatory mechanisms that govern glycolysis. Phosphofructokinase is the key enzyme known to exert a regulatory role on glycolytic flux and, therefore, ammonia as an effector of phosphofructokinase acts, in cascade, modulating the glycolytic pathway. Apart from S. thermophilus, due to the high conservation of glycolytic enzymes in all branches of the tree of life and being aware of the role of ammonia as an effector of phosphofructokinase, we propose to reevaluate the physiological role of the ammonia production pathways in all organisms whose energy metabolism is supported by glycolysis.

Project description:Bathymodiolus mussels inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents harbor bacterial symbionts in their gills, which support the animals’ diet. While the basic mechanisms of energy generation and CO2 fixation that drive these symbioses are largely established, details of molecular interactions between the symbiotic partners and adaptations to their respective habitats remain unknown. In this study, we therefore comparatively examined the genomes and proteomes of two Bathymodiolus hosts and their respective symbionts from different geographical locations. Two mussel species were proteomically compared: i) B. thermophilus mussel containing sulfur-oxidizing symbiont from the east pacific rise. thermophilus and ii) B. azoricus containing thiotrophic and methanotrophic symbionts from the mid-atlantic ridge. Symbionts (for both species) and host components (for B. azoricus) were selectively enriched using a multi-step centrifugation procedure. Enriched host and symbiont fractions along with unenriched gill foot tissue were subject to in-depth semi-quantitative proteomic analyses using the orbitrap and velos mass spectrometers. Proteins were quantified based on their spectral counts using the normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF) method. We identified common strategies of metabolic interactions that provide mutual nutritional support between host and symbionts, such as the detoxification of ambient sulfide by the Bathymodiolus host, which provides a stable thiosulfate reservoir for the thiotrophic symbionts, and a putative amino acid cycling mechanism that could supply the host with symbiont-derived amino acids. A suite of genes and proteins putatively related to virulence or defense functions was particularly abundant in the B. thermophilus symbiont, compared to its symbiont relatives, and may pose a host species-specific adaptation. Our results reveal both, a high degree of integration between the symbiotic partners, and great potential to adapt to the prevailing environment, which facilitate the holobiont’s survival in its hydrothermal vent habitat.

Our main goal is to define a robust hypoxia gene signature in neuroblastoma cell lines. A set of 9 neuroblastoma cell lines were cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions for 18 hours, and their gene expression profiles were measured with Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U133 Plus 2.0. The clustering analysis of the expression profiles based on different clustering methods consistently revealed that hypoxia was not the major factor characterizing the data set. T-test analysis with multiple testing correction fails to identify significantly differentially expressed genes. Conversely the l1-l2 regularization selects 11 significant probesets while building an effective classification rule. The algorithm is cast within a cross-validation framework in order to achieve an unbiased analysis. The estimated cross-validation error is 17% (3 out of 18). We show that the use of l1-l2 regularization allowed us to model the effect of hypoxia, which was not detected by conventional t-test based approaches and we find a panel of genes able to properly discriminate the normoxic versus the hypoxic status of neuroblastoma cell lines.
