Project description:Milk urea concentration is an indicator for dietary nitrogen (N)-supply and urinary nitrogen excretion. Dairy cows with high (HMU) compared to low milk urea (LMU) concentration have greater plasma urea, creatinine and uric acid concentrations, but if the liver metabolism accounts for these differences is unknown. Eighteen HMU and 18 LMU cows were fed either a diet with a low (LP) and normal (NP) crude protein concentration. An N-balance study was performed and a 13C-urea bolus was administered followed by a series of blood samplings. Liver samples were analysed by 2D-gel-based proteomics and real-time RT-PCR. Although HMU cows had a higher urea pool, plasma urea, uric acid, and hippuric acid concentrations, these differences were not associated with increased activation of the hepatic urea cycle or non-urea nitrogen metabolite pathways. Instead, HMU cows had a higher oxidative stress level. Conclusively, other factors than hepatic urea metabolism account for the milk urea concentration. Despite higher plasma urea concentrations on the LP diet, urea cycle mRNA expression was not affected, indicating it is not controlled at transcriptional level. Feeding the LP diet resulted in higher expressions of enzymes catabolizing fatty acids, which is likely due to diminished microbial growth and insufficient energy supply.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Helicobacter pylori comparing 26695 wild-type strain and a HP0244-deficient mutant 26695/âHP0244::km treated at three different pH conditions (pH 7.4, pH 4.5 without urea, or pH 2.5 with 30 mM urea) for 30 min to define the HP0244 acid-responsive regulon Keywords: Genetic modification and stress response Wild type vs HP0244-deficient mutant at three different pH conditions (pH7.4, pH4.5 without urea, and pH2.5 with 30 mM urea). Three biological replicates for each pH condition: 3 wild type and 3 mutant, independently grown, pH treated, and harvested.
Project description:γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and widespread in nature from microorganisms to plants and animals. DNA microarray analysis revealed that the transcription of gabTDP was strongly increased in C. glutamicum wild type grown with GABA and urea compared to the same strain cultivated with glucose and urea. Remarkably, the presence of ammonia partially inhibited growth on GABA, and the reasons for it were also investigated in this study.
