    Abstract All forms of life are presumed to synthesize arginine from citrulline via a two-step pathway consisting of argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase using citrulline, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), and aspartate as substrates. Conversion of arginine to citrulline predominantly proceeds via hydrolysis. Here, from the hyperthermophilic archaeon

    Abstract Microfluidic capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) is a rapid and highly accurate method to determine isotopomer patterns in isotopically labeled compounds. Here, we developed a novel method for tracer-based metabolomics using CE-MS for underivatized proteinogenic amino acids. The method consisting of a ZipChip CE system and a high-resolution Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer allows us to obtain highly accurate data from 1 μl of 100 nmol/l amino acids comparable to a mere 1 [Formula: see text] 10

    Abstract The biosynthesis pathways of coenzyme A (CoA) in most archaea involve several unique enzymes including dephospho-CoA kinase (DPCK) that converts dephospho-CoA to CoA in the final step of CoA biosynthesis in all domains of life. The archaeal DPCK is unrelated to the analogous bacterial and eukaryotic enzymes and shows no significant sequence similarity to any proteins with known structures. Unusually, the archaeal DPCK utilizes GTP as the phosphate donor although the analogous bacterial and eukaryotic enzymes are ATP-dependent kinases. Here, we report the crystal structure of DPCK and its complex with GTP and a magnesium ion from the archaeal hyperthermophile Thermococcus kodakarensis. The crystal structure demonstrates why GTP is the preferred substrate of this kinase. We also report the activity analyses of site-directed mutants of crucial residues determined based on sequence conservation and the crystal structure. From these results, the key residues involved in the reaction of phosphoryl transfer and the possible dephospho-CoA binding site are inferred.

    Abstract Lipoic acid is an organosulfur cofactor essential for several key enzyme complexes in oxidative and one-carbon metabolism. It is covalently bound to the lipoyl domain of the E2 subunit in some 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes and the H-protein in the glycine cleavage system. Lipoate-protein ligase (Lpl) is involved in the salvage of exogenous lipoate and attaches free lipoate to the E2 subunit or the H-protein in an ATP-dependent manner. In the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, TK1234 and TK1908 are predicted to encode the N- and C-terminal regions of Lpl, respectively. TK1908 and TK1234 recombinant proteins form a heterodimer and together displayed significant ligase activity toward octanoate in addition to lipoate when a chemically synthesized octapeptide was used as the acceptor. The proteins also displayed activity toward other fatty acids, indicating broad fatty acid specificity. On the other hand, lipoyl synthase from T. kodakarensis only recognized octanoyl-peptide as a substrate. Examination of individual proteins indicated that the TK1908 protein alone was able to catalyze the ligase reaction although with a much lower activity. Gene disruption of TK1908 led to lipoate/serine auxotrophy, whereas TK1234 gene deletion did not. Acyl carrier protein homologs are not found on the archaeal genomes, and the TK1908/TK1234 protein complex did not utilize octanoyl-CoA, raising the possibility that the substrate of the ligase reaction is octanoic acid itself. Although Lpl has been considered as an enzyme involved in lipoate salvage, the results imply that in T. kodakarensis, the TK1908 and TK1234 proteins function in

    Abstract Commensal bacteria affect many aspects of host physiology. In this study, we focused on the role of commensal bacteria in the thermoregulatory behavior of Drosophila melanogaster. We demonstrated that the elimination of commensal bacteria caused an increase in the preferred temperature of Drosophila third-instar larvae without affecting the activity of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1)-expressing thermosensitive neurons. We isolated eight bacterial strains from the gut and culture medium of conventionally reared larvae and found that the preferred temperature of the larvae was decreased by mono-association with Lactobacillus plantarum or Corynebacterium nuruki. Mono-association with these bacteria did not affect the indices of energy metabolism such as ATP and glucose levels of larvae, which are closely linked to thermoregulation in animals. Thus, we show a novel role for commensal bacteria in host thermoregulation and identify two bacterial species that affect thermoregulatory behavior in Drosophila.
