Project description:BackgroundThe volatile metabolites produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation, which are mainly esters, higher alcohols and organic acids, play a vital role in the quality and perception of fermented beverages, such as wine. Although the metabolic pathways and genes behind yeast fermentative aroma formation are well described, little is known about the genetic mechanisms underlying variations between strains in the production of these aroma compounds. To increase our knowledge about the links between genetic variation and volatile production, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping using 130 F2-meiotic segregants from two S. cerevisiae wine strains. The segregants were individually genotyped by next-generation sequencing and separately phenotyped during wine fermentation.ResultsUsing different QTL mapping strategies, we were able to identify 65 QTLs in the genome, including 55 that influence the formation of 30 volatile secondary metabolites, 14 with an effect on sugar consumption and central carbon metabolite production, and 7 influencing fermentation parameters. For ethyl lactate, ethyl octanoate and propanol formation, we discovered 2 interacting QTLs each. Within 9 of the detected regions, we validated the contribution of 13 genes in the observed phenotypic variation by reciprocal hemizygosity analysis. These genes are involved in nitrogen uptake and metabolism (AGP1, ALP1, ILV6, LEU9), central carbon metabolism (HXT3, MAE1), fatty acid synthesis (FAS1) and regulation (AGP2, IXR1, NRG1, RGS2, RGT1, SIR2) and explain variations in the production of characteristic sensorial esters (e.g., 2-phenylethyl acetate, 2-metyhlpropyl acetate and ethyl hexanoate), higher alcohols and fatty acids.ConclusionsThe detection of QTLs and their interactions emphasizes the complexity of yeast fermentative aroma formation. The validation of underlying allelic variants increases knowledge about genetic variation impacting metabolic pathways that lead to the synthesis of sensorial important compounds. As a result, this work lays the foundation for tailoring S. cerevisiae strains with optimized volatile metabolite production for fermented beverages and other biotechnological applications.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is formed naturally from L-cysteine in a variety of mammalian and non-mammalian cells. To date, numerous biological effects have been ascribed to H2S including control of cardiovascular, immune and nervous function. Over or under production of H2S has been observed in several disease states including hypertension and inflammation. In addition, it has been stipulated that H2S may affect the ageing process. The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing drug effects on lifespan since it is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed to drugs and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated.

Project description:Physiological memories of environmental stress can serve to predict future environmental changes, allowing the organism to initiate protective mechanisms and survive. Although physiological memories, or bookmarks, of environmental stress have been described in a wide range of organisms, from bacteria to plants to humans, the mechanism by which these memories persist in the absence of stress is still largely unknown. We have discovered that C. elegans transiently exposed to low doses of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) survive subsequent exposure to otherwise lethal H2S concentrations and induce H2S-responsive transcripts more robustly than naïve controls. H2S bookmarking can occur at any developmental stage and persists through cell divisions and development but is erased by fasting. We show that maintenance of the H2S bookmark requires the SET-2 histone methyltransferase and the CoREST-like demethylase complex. We propose a model in which exposure to low doses of H2S generates a long-lasting, epigenetic memory by modulating H3K4me2 modifications at specific promoters. Understanding the fundamental aspects of H2S bookmarking in this tractable system can provide mechanistic insight into how environmental exposures are translated into the epigenetic landscape in animals.

Project description:In this study we investigated the effect of two different agents producing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on LPS-induced inflammatory mediators such as TNFa, NO and ROS. The agents (GYY4137 and sodium hydrosulfide) applied differ significantly by the kinetics of H2S release. In the investigation we compared the effects of H2S release on the LPS-induced inflammation exploring SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line and human promonocytic cell line, THP-1. Our data clearly show that both hydrogen sulfide producing agents significantly reduced the production of the investigated proinflammatory mediators when applied both before and after LPS administration. Furthermore, transcriptomic studies demonstrated that H2S release ameliorates the expression of multiple proinflammatory genes up-regulated due to LPS administration. However, the pattern of changes observed in transcriptome differs dramatically depending on the time of H2S release (before or after LPS-challenge).

The global transcriptome of control nematodes (raised using standardized laboratory conditions) was compared to nematodes exposed to 100 uM GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl(morpholino) phosphinodithioate), a slow releasing H2S donor drug.
