同时利用AOX1和GAP启动子表达SAM合成酶促进重组毕赤酵母中S-腺苷甲硫氨酸积累

利用重组毕赤酵母(Richia pastoris)强化表达S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(S-adenvylmethionine,SAM)合成酶(SAM synthetase,SAMS),发酵生产SAM时,胞内SAMS活性和ATP水平是影响SAM合成的重要因素.为了同时保持较高的SAMS活性和ATP供应,我们构建了一株既含有AOX1诱导型表达单元,又含有GAP组成型表达单元的双SAMS表达单元P.pastoris重组菌株Gd.它既能受甲醇调控表达SAMS,又能以甘油为碳源表达SAMS.在培养过程中,先是以甲醇诱导SAMS表达,得到较高的酶活,然后在发酵中后期再将碳源换为甘油.这样不但可以维持较高的酶活,而且可以提高胞内ATP含量.实验结果显示,对于同时利用AOX1和GAP启动子表达SAMS的重组菌,可采取甲醇和甘油两阶段补料,该重组菌的SAMS比产率高于组成型重组茵Xg,Gd进入甘油补料期后胞内ATP含量高于诱导型重组菌Ga.双表达单元菌株Gd的SAM产量达到1.41 g/L,比诱导型表达SAMS的重组菌株提高了76.3%,比组成型表达SAMS的重组菌株提高了60.2%,.

Formation of spray-dried powder of S-adenosyl-L-methionine

S-Adenosyl-L -methionine (SAM) is an essential metabolite in all living organisms. In clinical research, SAM has also been suggested as a chemotherapeutic agent in various diseases. The main problem of SAM is its instability at high temperatures, at neutral and alkaline pH, and in the presence of humidity. SAM retention in spray-dried powder was determined under various conditions of spray-drying. The highest SAM retention was obtained when maltodextrin (dextrose equivalent, DE, of 25) was used as the carrier solid with the SAM feed liquid at pH 4.0. The water content in the powder had a significant effect on the stability of SAM. SAM powder with lower water content exhibited higher stability.     

The growth-suppressive function of the polycomb group protein polyhomeotic is mediated by polymerization of its sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain

Polyhomeotic (Ph), a member of the Polycomb Group (PcG), is a gene silencer critical for proper development. We present a previously unrecognized way of controlling Ph function through modulation of its sterile alpha motif (SAM) polymerization leading to the identification of a novel target for tuning the activities of proteins. SAM domain containing proteins have been shown to require SAM polymerization for proper function. However, the role of the Ph SAM polymer in PcG-mediated gene silencing was uncertain. Here, we first show that Ph SAM polymerization is indeed required for its gene silencing function. Interestingly, the unstructured linker sequence N-terminal to Ph SAM can shorten the length of polymers compared with when Ph SAM is individually isolated. Substituting the native linker with a random, unstructured sequence (RLink) can still limit polymerization, but not as well as the native linker. Consequently, the increased polymeric Ph RLink exhibits better gene silencing ability. In the Drosophila wing disc, Ph RLink expression suppresses growth compared with no effect for wild-type Ph, and opposite to the overgrowth phenotype observed for polymer-deficient Ph mutants. These data provide the first demonstration that the inherent activity of a protein containing a polymeric SAM can be enhanced by increasing SAM polymerization. Because the SAM linker had not been previously considered important for the function of SAM-containing proteins, our finding opens numerous opportunities to manipulate linker sequences of hundreds of polymeric SAM proteins to regulate a diverse array of intracellular functions.     

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-accumulating sake yeast suppresses acute alcohol-induced liver injury in mice

The suppressive effects on acute alcoholic liver injury of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and the sake yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kyokai No. 9, have been shown previously. To enhance the suppression of acute alcoholic liver injury by sake yeast, we prepared SAM-accumulating sake yeast (SAM yeast). Male C57BL/6 mice that had been fed on a diet containing 0.25% SAM yeast or sake yeast for two weeks received three doses of ethanol (5 g/kg BW). In the mice fed on the SAM yeast, the ethanol-induced increases in both triglyceride (TG) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were significantly repressed. In addition, the SAM yeast-fed mice did not show an ethanol-induced decrease in hepatic SAM level, suggesting that a disorder of methionine metabolism in the liver caused by ethanol was relieved by the SAM yeast. These results suggest that the SAM yeast had a stronger effect suppressing acute alcoholic liver injury in mice than the sake yeast.

Human Polyhomeotic Homolog 3 (PHC3) Sterile Alpha Motif (SAM) Linker Allows Open-Ended Polymerization of PHC3 SAM

Sterile alpha motifs (SAMs) are frequently found in eukaryotic genomes. An intriguing property of many SAMs is their ability to self-associate, forming an open-ended polymer structure whose formation has been shown to be essential for the function of the protein. What remains largely unresolved is how polymerization is controlled. Previously, we had determined that the stretch of unstructured residues N-terminal to the SAM of a Drosophila protein called polyhomeotic (Ph), a member of the polycomb group (PcG) of gene silencers, plays a key role in controlling Ph SAM polymerization. Ph SAM with its native linker created shorter polymers compared to Ph SAM attached to either a random linker or no linker. Here, we show that the SAM linker for the human Ph ortholog, polyhomeotic homolog 3 (PHC3), also controls PHC3 SAM polymerization but does so in the opposite fashion. PHC3 SAM with its native linker allows longer polymers to form compared to when attached to a random linker. Attaching the PHC3 SAM linker to Ph SAM also resulted in extending Ph SAM polymerization. Moreover, in the context of full-length Ph protein, replacing the SAM linker with PHC3 SAM linker, intended to create longer polymers, resulted in greater repressive ability for the chimera compared to wild-type Ph. These findings show that polymeric SAM linkers evolved to modulate a wide dynamic range of SAM polymerization abilities and suggest that rationally manipulating the function of SAM containing proteins through controlling their SAM polymerization may be possible.

Nonenzymatic methylation of DNA by the intracellular methyl group donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine is a potentially mutagenic reaction.

Incubation of DNA with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) in neutral aqueous solution leads to base modification, with formation of small amounts of 7-methylguanine and 3-methyladenine. The products have been identified by high performance liquid chromatography of DNA hydrolysates and by the selective release of free 3-methyladenine from SAM-treated DNA by a specific DNA glycosylase. We conclude that SAM acts as a weak DNA-alkylating agent. Several control experiments including extensive purification of [3H-methyl]SAM preparations and elimination of the alkylating activity by pretreatment of SAM with a phage T3-induced SAM cleaving enzyme, have been performed to determine that the activity observed was due to SAM itself and not to a contaminating substance. We estimate that SAM, at an intracellular concentration of 4 X 10(-5) M, causes DNA alkylation at a level similar to that expected from continuous exposure of cells to 2 X 10(-8) M methyl methane-sulphonate. This ability of SAM to act as a methyl donor in a nonenzymatic reaction could result in a background of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. The data provide an explanation for the apparently universal occurrence of multiple DNA repair enzymes specific for methylation damage.     

Serum antibody response to surface-associated material from periodontopathogenic bacteria

Abstract Saline extracts of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Eikenella corrodens contain surface-associated components of these bacteria. It has been shown that these extracts are potent stimulators of bone resorption in vitro. The possibility that the components of these surface-associated materials (SAM) could contribute to the serum immune response in patients with juvenile or adult onset forms of rapidly progressive periodontitis were investigated by direct binding ELISA. Very high titres of serum IgG antibodies to SAM from A. actinomycetemcomitans were detected in patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP). Patients with adult onset rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP) had significantly raised antibody levels to SAM from P. gingivalis . Both groups of patients had significantly raised levels of antibodies to SAM from E. corrodens compared with control sera. Thus, not only does solubilized SAM have the capacity to induce bone resorption, but it also contributes to the antigenic load on the immune system in LJP and RPP.
