Proline Utilization A

Oxidation of amino acids, like proline catabolism, is a central part of energy metabolism. Proline is oxidized to glutamate by two enzymes: proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH). PRODH catalyzes the first reaction of proline to 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C). P5C undergoes a non-enzymatic hydrolysis to glutamate semialdehyde (GSA), which is oxidized to glutamate by a NAD+- dependent enzyme P5CDH. PRODH and P5CDH are mono-functional enzymes in eukaryotes and Gram-positive bacteria; while in Gram-negative bacteria, the two enzymes are fused into one protein as two domains, known as proline utilization A (PutA). This dissertation work involved structural and functional studies of PRODH, P5CDH, PutA, and human aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The results illuminated the substrate recognition for mono-functional PRODH and hot spot oligomerization mechanism for mono-functional P5CDH, also, demonstrated that diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB) is a mechanism based inactivator for aldehyde dehydrogenase 7A1. Furthermore, the C-terminal domain found in PutAs, the only domain without any structural and functional information has been structurally and biochemically characterized.

Proline Utilization

L-Proline, which is accumulated by Escherichia coli during growth in media of high osmolality, also induces the synthesis of the enzyme degrading it to glutamate. To determine if proline catabolism is inhibited during osmotic stress, proline utilization and the formation of proline dehydrogenase were examined in varying concentrations of NaCl and sucrose. Although the specific growth rate of E. coli with proline as the sole nitrogen source diminished as the solute osmolality increased, a comparable reduction in growth rate occurred with ammonium as the primary nitrogen source. Proline catabolism, as measured in whole cells by the conversion of [14C]proline to [14C]glutamate, was only slightly inhibited by solute osmolalities up to 1.0 osmol/kg; more than 50% of the initial activity was still found at 2.0 osmol/kg. By contrast, the specific activity of proline dehydrogenase in bacteria grown in the presence of added solutes decreased to less than 20% of the control level. This reduction was related to a lower rate of synthesis, but was independent of genes currently known to be involved in osmoregulation or proline metabolism. The specific activities of tryptophanase, β-galactosidase, and histidinol dehydrogenase were also reduced under similar growth conditions. These results indicate that while proline catabolism is not directly inhibited by high solute concentrations, prolonged exposure to osmotic stress leads to its reduction as part of a more general metabolic response.Key words: osmotic stress, proline, proline catabolism, proline dehydrogenase, PutA protein.

Characteristic Features

One of the most characteristic features of cancer cells is their ability to metastasia. It is suggested that the modifications of the structure and properties of cancer cells surfaces play the main role in this process. The present work was aimed at finding out what ultrastructural features apear in tumor in vivo which removal of individual cancer cells from the cell population can provide. For this purpose the cellular interactions in the normal human thyroid and cancer tumor of this gland electron microscopic were studied. The tissues were fixed in osmium tetroxide and were embedded in Araldite-Epon.In normal human thyroid the most common type of intercellular contacts was represented by simple junction formed by the parallelalignment of adjacent cell membranees leaving in between an intermembranes space 15-20 nm filled with electronlucid material (Fig. 1a). Sometimes in the basal part of cells dilatations of the intercellular space 40-50 nm wide were found (Fig. 1a). Here the cell surfaces may form single short microvilli.

On the basis of light microscopic observation, the ultrastructural localization of CEA in gastric cancer was studied by immunoelectron microscopic technique. The distribution of CEA in gastric cancer and its biological significance and the mechanism of abnormal distribution of CEA were further discussed.Among 104 surgically resected specimens of gastric cancer with PAP method at light microscopic level, the incidence of CEA(+) was 85.58%. All of mucinous carcinoma exhibited CEA(+). In tubular adenocarcinoma the incidence of CEA(+) showed a tendency to rising with the increase of degree of differentiation. In normal epithelia and intestinal metaplasia CEA was faintly present and was found only in the luminal surface. The CEA staining patterns in cancer cells were of three types--- cytoplasmic, membranous and weak reactive type. The ultrastructural localization of CEA in 14 cases of gastric cancer was studied by immunoelectron microscopic technique.There was a little or no CEA in the microvilli of normal epithelia. In intestinal metaplasia CEA was found on the microvilli of absorptive cells and among the mucus particles of goblet cells. In gastric cancer CEA was also distributed on the lateral and basal surface or even over the entire surface of cancer cells and lost their polarity completely. Many studies had proved that the alterations in surface glycoprotein were characteristic changes of tumor cells. The antigenic determinant of CEA was glycoprotein, so the alterations of tumor-associated surface glycoprotein opened up a new way for the diagnosis of tumors.
