Abstract

Yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex composed of at least 17 different subunits. Subunit 8 of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is a hydrophobic protein of 48 amino acids encoded by the mitochondrial ATP8 gene. Although ATP synthase from eukaryotes and prokaryotes shows a similar basic structure, no homologue of subunit 8 is found in prokaryotes such as Escherichia coli. Subunit 8 has three distinct domains; an N-terminal domain, a central hydrophobic domain and a C-terminal domain. In order to elucidate its structure and function, a set of nuclear genes encoding subunit 8 variants was designed to incorporate a FLAG tag at the C-terminus and a mitochondrial signal peptide at the N-terminus. Each gene was cloned into a yeast expression vector and then allotopically expressed in a yeast strain lacking endogenous subunit 8. Structural and functional analysis showed that the hydrophobic character of the central hydrophobic domain of subunit 8 is critical for the ATP synthase function. Subunit 8 is sensitive to charge manipulation at the C-terminus. The positively charged residues at the C-terminal domain are important for subunit 8 assembly and hence its function.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to produce tannin acylhydrolase (tannase) from Aspergillus niger isolated from cacao pod. The first step of the study included determination of optimal pH, temperature, and incubation period to produce tannase. Optimal conditions obtained for tannase production were pH 5.5, a temperature of 28 oC and an incubation period of 3 days. Optimization of production medium was conducted. The media tested were solid and liquid wheat flour media with a concentration of tannic acid as inducer at 0, 3, 5, and 7% (wt/vol). The best production medium was solid medium with tannic acid concentration of 5% (wt/vol).

Abstract

The yeast mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex that contains at least 17 different subunits. Subunit 8 of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is a hydrophobic protein of 48 amino acids encoded by the mitochondrial ATP8 gene. There is no homologue of subunit 8 found in bacteria. Subunit 8 has three distinct domains; an N-terminal domain, a central hydrophobic domain and a C-terminal domain. Subunit 8 has been shown to adopt a transmembrane topology with the central hydrophobic domain spans the inner mitochondrial membrane once. In order to elucidate the need of subunit 8 to maintain transmembrane topology for its functioning, a severely functionally defective subunit 8 variant that has been introduced with double-charged residues within the central hydrophobic domain was analysed. A gene encoding this variant was expressed in a yeast strain lacking endogenous subunit 8. The subunit 8 variant was then targeted into mitochondria. Following its assembly into mitochondrial ATP synthase complex, its membrane topology was determined. The results obtained showed that subunit 8 was obligatory to maintain a transmembrane topology for providing proper functioning. The transmembrane topology may be critical for subunit 8’s proposed tructural roles as part of the stator stalk of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex.

Abstract

The majority of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is synthesized by the F1F0-ATP synthase. The yeast mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex that contains at least 17 different subunits grouped into F1 and F0 sectors. Subunit 8 of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is a hydrophobic protein of 48 amino acids encoded by the mitochondrial ATP8 gene. Subunit 8 has three distinct domains; an N-terminal domain, a central hydrophobic domain and a C-terminal domain. FLAG tag addition to the C-terminus of subunit 8 and its variants has facilitated elucidation of subunit 8's membrane topology. In order to analyze its detailed structure and function, a set of strains expressing FLAG tagged-subunit 8 and its variants were subjected to bioenergetic analysis at cellular and mitochondrial levels. Results obtained showed that the hydrophobic character of the central hydrophobic domain of subunit 8 is essential for functional coupling between F1 and F0 sectors, hence for mitochondrial ATP synthase function.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is considered to play a major etiological role in development of human dental plaque believed to related to dental caries, the most prevalent disease of the human oral cavity.  The objectives of the present study were to formulate and produce propolis supplemented-chewing candy and to investigate its antibacterial activity against S. mutans.  Propolis is a natural resinous bee-hive product thought to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating activities.  Propolis was extracted from hives of bees of Trigona spp. using ethanol.   The extract was coated with maltodextrine and homogenized to generate propolis microparticles.  The particles were introduced into chewing candy preparations for the production of propolis supplemented-chewing candy.  The candy was then subjected to  in vitro antibacterial assays to test its activity against S. mutans isolated from human dental plaque.  Results showed that the ethanol extracted propolis of Trigona spp. bee-hives can be homogenized to form propolis microparticles.  The propolis microparticles could be used as a supplement in the formulation of chewing candy preparations.  The propolis supplemented-chewing candy showed antibacterial activity against S.  mutans. The candy, therefore, has the potential to be used as an antiplaque agent for prevention of dental caries.

Abstract

Lactobacillus plantarum U10 produced bacteriocin U10 which was isolated from a traditionally fermented food “tempoyak” from Sumatera Island in Indonesia. Production of the bacteriocins started at early exponential phase and reached maximum level at early stationary phase. Furthermore, plantaricins U10 was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by gel filtration chromatography. L. plantarum U10 produced two bacteriocins with a molecular mass of approximately 4.5 and 9.8 kDa by SDS-PAGE.  The mode of action of plantaricins U10 was identified as bactericidal agents against Salmonella typhi ATCC25241 as proven by CFU counting and SEM micrographs that showed differences in cell structures between treated cells and the non-treated control. SEM examination also confirmed structural destruction of membrane cells integrity and considerable morphological alteration of S.typhi.
