Au cours des 20 dernières années, les génomes de nombreux organismes ont été séquencés et même si un grand nombre de données de séquence du génome a été générée, l&#39;interprétation fonctionnelle est à la traîne et entrave donc notre compréhension du fonctionnement du génome. fonctions de gènes dans les génomes sont souvent attribués en fonction de similarité avec des gènes de la fonction ou l&#39;apparition de motifs conservés connu. Cependant, la fonction précise d&#39;un gène donné est ...

Lipides à base de glycérol tels que triacylglycérols et (glycéro) phospholipides constituent importante et probablement les classes de lipides les plus connus 1. Triacylglycérols (TAG) sont des graisses ou des huiles, qui fonctionnent habituellement comme les lipides de stockage, et donc en tant que sources d&#39;énergie et de carbone potentiels. TAGs peuvent être dégradés par les lipases, qui sont souvent sécrétées par l&#39;organisme producteur à digérer TAGs externes et les rendre disponibles en tant que sources de carbone. En outre, les lipases ont été largement étudiés au cours des années en raison de leurs applications biotechnologiques importantes 2. En raison de leur nature amphiphile et leur forme quasi cylindrique, les propriétés des membranes formant (glycéro) phospholipides présentent et constituent généralement les principaux composants lipidiques d&#39;une membrane bicouche 3. Dans les micro - organismes simples, tels que la bactérie Escherichia coli, seules les trois principales variantes de groupe de tête, le phosphatidylglycérol (PG), cardiolipine (CL), et phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) sont rencontrées, mais il faut savoir que chacun d&#39;entre eux pouvant être substitué par un grand nombre de différentes chaînes d&#39;acyle gras en position sn -1 et sn -2 positions donnant lieu à un grand nombre d&#39;espèces moléculaires différentes 4 . D&#39;autres bactéries pourraient avoir d&#39;autres phospholipides, en plus ou au lieu. Par exemple, Sinorhizobium meliloti, une bactérie du sol, qui est capable de former une racine nodule symbiose fixatrice d&#39;azote avec la luzerne , des légumineuses (Medicago sativa), contient en outre au PE d&#39; un second phospholipide zwitterionique, la phosphatidylcholine (PC) 5. En outre, les lipides ne contenant pas de phosphore ou de glycérol peuvent faire partie amphiphile et la forme de la membrane cellulaire. Par exemple, des conditions de croissance du phosphore limitatif, en S. meliloti (glycéro- phospholipides) sont en grande partie remplacés par des lipides membranaires qui ne contiennent pas de phosphore, à savoir, les sulfolipides, les lipides ornithine et diacylglyceryl trimethylhomoserine (dgts) 6. Chez les bactéries, dgts est formé à partir de diacylglycérol (DAG) dans une voie à deux étapes 7 , mais la source pour la génération DAG était pas claire. Expériences pulse-chase ont suggéré que PC pourrait être un précurseur pour dgts 8 et en utilisant la méthodologie décrite dans ce manuscrit nous avons pu identifier une phospholipase C (PLCP, SMc00171) qui est formé dans des conditions de phosphore limitatif et qui peut convertir PC en DAG et phosphocholine 8. Dans une étude séparée, nous avons découvert que l&#39;acyl-CoA synthétase (FADD) mutant déficient de S. meliloti ou d&#39;Escherichia coli accumulée des acides gras libres lors de l&#39; entrée en phase stationnaire de croissance 9. Bien que ces acides gras semblent être dérivés à partir des lipides membranaires, l&#39;origine précise pour les acides gras libres ou de l&#39;enzyme (s) en les libérant sont pas connus. Encore une fois, en utilisant la stratégie décrite dans ce manuscrit, deux 10 (phospho) lipases patatine-like (SMc00930 et SMc01003) qui a contribué à la formation d&#39;acides gras libres dans S. meliloti 11 ont été prédit. De manière surprenante, SMc01003 DAG utilisé comme substrat le convertissant en monoacylglycérol et , enfin , du glycérol et des acides gras libres 11. Par conséquent, SMc01003 est une lipase DAG (DGLA). Bien qu&#39;un certain nombre d&#39;algorithmes existent pour prédire le potentiel (phospho) lipases 12,13, leur fonction précise et rôle physiologique est généralement pas connue. Nous présentons ici un protocole, pour cloner et surexpriment (phospho) lipases prédites ou potentiels. Ce manuscrit explique comment les dosages enzymatiques peuvent être développées et optimisées pour le (phospho) lipase surexprimé en utilisant des substrats chromogènes artificiels. Nous fournissons des exemples comment avec un test enzymatique optimisé réel (phospho) substrat de lipase peut être rencontré et comment ces résultats pourraient enrichir notre compréhension de la physiologie microbienne.

defining substrate specificities for lipase and phospholipase candidates

Microorganismes produisent un large spectre de (phospho) lipases qui sont sécrétées dans le but de faire des substrats extérieurs disponibles pour l&#39;organisme. Alternativement, d&#39;autres (phospho) lipases peuvent être associées physiquement l&#39;organisme producteur provoquant un chiffre d&#39;affaires de lipides intrinsèques et souvent donner lieu à un remodelage des membranes cellulaires. Bien que les potentiels (phospho) lipases peuvent être prédits avec un certain nombre d&#39;algorithmes lorsque la séquence de gène / protéine est disponible, la preuve expérimentale de l&#39;activité des enzymes, des spécificités de substrat et les fonctions physiologiques potentiels a souvent été obtenu. Ce manuscrit décrit l&#39;optimisation des conditions d&#39;essai pour les futurs (phospho) lipases avec des spécificités de substrat inconnus et comment employer ces conditions optimisées dans la recherche pour le substrat naturel d&#39;un (phospho) lipase respective. En utilisant des substrats chromogènes artificiels, tels que les dérivés p - nitrophényle, peuvent aider à détecter un mineurl&#39;activité enzymatique d&#39;un (phospho) lipase prédite dans des conditions standard. Après avoir rencontré une telle activité enzymatique faible, les paramètres distincts d&#39;un dosage enzymatique peut être modifiée afin d&#39;obtenir une hydrolyse plus efficace du substrat artificiel. Après avoir déterminé les conditions dans lesquelles une enzyme fonctionne bien, une variété de substrats naturels potentiels doit être testé pour leur dégradation, un processus qui peut être suivie en utilisant des méthodes chromatographiques distinctes. La définition des spécificités de substrat pour de nouvelles enzymes, fournit souvent des hypothèses pour un rôle physiologique potentiel de ces enzymes, qui peuvent ensuite être testés expérimentalement. Suite à ces directives, nous avons été en mesure d&#39;identifier une phospholipase C (SMc00171) qui dégrade la phosphatidylcholine à phosphocholine et diacylglycérol, dans une étape cruciale pour le remodelage des membranes dans la bactérie Sinorhizobium meliloti sur les conditions de phosphore limitation de la croissance. Pour deux prédit patatin-comme phospholipases (SMc00930 et SMc01003) du même organisme, nous pourrions redéfinir leurs spécificités de substrat et de préciser que SMc01003 est une lipase de diacylglycérol.

Defining Substrate Specificities for Lipase and Phospholipase Candidates

Many predicted (phospho)lipases are poorly characterized with regard to their substrate specificities and physiological functions. Here we provide a protocol to optimize enzyme activities, search for natural substrates, and propose physiological functions for these enzymes.

Définition Substrat Spécificités pour lipase et phospholipase candidats

Microorganisms produce a wide spectrum of (phospho)lipases that are secreted in order to make external substrates available for the organism. ...

The overall goal of this procedure is to accelerate the detection of physiological substrates for potential lipases and phosopholipases. This method can help answer key questions in the Entomology field, such as how phospholipases contribute to lipid remodeling in biological membranes. The main advantage of this technique is that the optimization of enzymatic activity and the search for the natural substrate for the enzyme can be performed independently.Though this method can provide insight into substrate specificity of bacterial lipases and phospholipases, it can also be modified to study hydrolases of any other model organisms. We first had the idea for this method when we searched for an enzyme activity that could degrade the intrinsic membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine inorhizobium meliloti. To prepare cell-free protein extracts, defrost bacterial cell suspensions and store them on ice.Then, pass the cell suspensions three times through a cold pressure cell at 20, 000 pounds per square inch. Remove the in-tact cells and cell debris by centrifugation at 5, 000 times g for 30 minutes, at four degrees Celsius. After centrifugation, prepare aliquots of 100 and 500 microliters from the supernatant for subsequent analysis.Set up the previously-optimized enzyme assay using the pipetting schemes tabulated in the text protocol. For an initial coverage of distinct enzyme activities, use artificial substrates that yield a colored product upon hydrolysis, such as para-nitrophenol or PNP derivatives. Follow the time course for an increase of absorbance at 405 nanometers, due to the formation of PNP in a spectrophotometer at 30 degrees Celsius over a five-minute period.Finally, perform calculations as described in the text protocol. For radio labeling of lipids, prepare an overnight pre-culture of an organism of interest in five milliliters of the desired culture medium and grow at 30 degrees Celsius. From the pre-culture, inoculate into 20 millimeters of fresh medium in a 100-millimeter culture flask, to obtain an initial optical density at 620 nanometers of 0.3 for the culture.Next, transfer a one-milliliter aliquot of the culture to a 14-milliliter sterile polystyrene round bottom tube under sterile conditions. Add one microcurie of 114 c acetate to the one-milliliter culture. Then, incubate the liquid culture under agitation at 30 degrees Celsius for a period of 24 hours.At the end of the incubation period, transfer the culture to a 1.5 milliliter microcentrifuge tube and centrifuge at 12, 000 times g at room temperature for five minutes. Resuspend the pellet in 100 microliters of water. At this point, store the cell suspension at minus 20 degrees Celsius or immediately continue with the extraction of polar lipids.To perform the extraction of polar lipids, add 375 microliters of a two to one methanol to chloroform solution to the 100 microliters of aqueous cell suspension. Vortex the sample for 30 seconds before incubating for five minutes at room temperature. Following incubation, centrifuge for five minutes at 12, 000 times g at room temperature.Then, transfer the supernatant to a new 1.5 milliliter microcentrifuge tube. Next, add 125 microliters of chloroform and 125 microliters of water to the supernatant. After vortexing for 30 seconds, centrifuge the sample for one minute at 12, 000 times g at room temperature.Transfer the lower chloroform phase to a fresh tube. Then, dry the solution with a stream of nitrogen gas. Dissolve the dried lipids in 100 microliters of chloroform to methanol solution.For separation of neutral polar lipids by thin layer chromatography, apply three microliter aliquots of the lipid samples, on a high performance thin-layer chromatography silica gel aluminum sheet, starting two centimeters from the edges of the plate. If multiple samples are analyzed in one-dimensional chromatography, keep a distance of at least 1.5 centimeters between the different sample application spots. Transfer the mobile phase to a TLC developing chamber, internally coated with chromatography paper.Cover with a glass plate to let the chamber saturate for 30 minutes. Transfer the HPTLC Silica Gel aluminum sheet with the dried lipid samples to the chamber. Allow the plate to develop for 30 minutes in a closed chamber before removing the plate.Then, let the solvents dry off in a flow hood for two hours. Once the developed TLC sheet is dry, incubate it with a photostimulable luminescence screen in a closed cassette for three days. Then, expose the incubated screen to a PSL scanner and acquire a virtual image of the separated radio-labeled lipids.To determine diacylglycerol, or DAG, lipase activity, first add 5, 000 CPM of 14 C-labeled DAG to a 1.5 milliliter microcentrifuge tube. Also, add a solution of Triton X-100 to the tube and mix by vortex. Dry the solution under a stream of nitrogen.For a final 100 microliter assay, add Tris-HCl buffer, a sodium chloride solution, and bi-distilled water. Vortex for five seconds. Initiate the reaction by adding five microliters of enzyme to the solution.Incubate the solution at 30 degrees Celsius for four hours. Stop the reaction by the addition of 250 microliters of methanol and 125 microliters of chloroform, before extracting lipids as described earlier in this video. Proceed to analyze neutral polar lipids by 1DTLC and subsequent PSL imaging as before.Although the predicted phosopholipase SMc01003 shows activity with artificial para-nitrophenol acyl esters, the activity is only double or triple of the background activity present in cell-free extracts of Escherichia coli, in which no foreign gene had been expressed. This indicates that para-nitrophenyl acyl esters don't seem to be good substrates for SMc01003. Whereas cell-free extracts of E.Coli cannot degrade diacylglycerol, extracts of strains in which the predicted phospholipase, SMc01003, had been expressed, caused a degradation of diacylglycerol.Though SMc01003 was predicted to be a phospholipase, it is actually a diacylglycerol lipase that degrades diacylglycerol to monoacylglycerol and one fatty acid. It then degrades monoacylglycerol further to glycerol and another fatty acid. Once mastered, this technique can be done in a few weeks if it's performed properly.After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to optimize enzyme activities of lipases and phospholipases, and how to continue with the search for their physiological substrates. A crucial advantage of this procedure is that the optimization of the enzyme activity can be separated from the search for the natural enzyme substrate. Don't forget that working with organic solvents or radioactive substances can be extremely hazardous and the required precautions should always be taken while performing this procedure.
