Current Biochemistry (CB) publishes the results of original research that contribute significantly to the understanding of the chemical compound and reaction that occur within living organism. Preference will be accorded to manuscripts that develop new concepts or experimantal approaches, particularly in the advancing areas of biochemistry science. Manuscripts that are primarily theoretical in nature or in the field of bioinformatics must be directed toward explaining important results previously not understood, making important predictions that can be experimentally tested, or developing segnificant advances in theory of general interest to biochemists. Submission of manuscripts in emerging areas in biochemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, proteomics, model studies and structures, cellular and molecular biology, computational biochemistry, biotechnology, and new methods development is encouraged especially if they address basic biochemical mechanisms.

Abstract

The increasing of rice plant production has to deal with some constraints caused by pathogen infection such as by bacteria, viruses or fungi. Endophytic bacteria have antagonistic capacity against fungi and was used to prevent the invasion of the pathogen. Burkholderia cepacia is one of the endophytic bacteria carrying genes expressed in defense system against fungi by producing glucanase enzyme. The aim of this research was to clone a gene encoding β-1,4-glucanase from B. cepacia into the expression system in Escherichia coli. The clone of glucanase gene was isolated by PCR technique using DNA fragment of B. cepacia from rice plants. The Glu 1320 primer pairs were designed based on the glucanase gene nucleotide sequence on online database, with the length of the amplicon DNA of 1300 bp. Results from BlastN and BlastX analysis showed that the DNA fragment which was cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector had similarity with Endo-1,4-D-glucanase gene of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. The identity of the cloned DNA fragment was 99% and E-value 0.0. Proteomic analysis of the amino acid sequence was done using Server Expasy Proteomic and the total of amino acid was 451 with, molecular weight of 48.363 kDa and isoelectric point (pI) of 5.87. The signal peptide had cleavage sites on position 23 and 24 in amino acid AAAAE. Recombinant protein clone was obtained from Protein Data Bank (PDB) database with the code of 4q2b.2.A. The protein consist of 349 residu which formed the secondary structure like of 7 betahairpin pairs, 20 turn, 3 helix-3/10, and 17 alpha-helix.

Abstract

Propolis is known to have an antimicrobial activity and can prevent various diseases. Propolis consumption is feared to have negative impact on the activity of digestive lactid acid bacteria (LAB). The aim of this research was to examine the effect of propolis on the growth and lactic acid production of three LAB. Ethanol Extraction Propolis (EEP) concentrations examined were control, eep and X propolis 0% (control), 0.2%, 0.6%, 1.0% and X propolis at 0.4% concentration. The parameters analyzed were the growth of bacteria counted with Total Plate Count (TPC) method and lactic acid production using titrable acidity analysis. Propolis at 0,6% concentration stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus (LCR, 24.725x108 cell/mL), but inhibited the average lactic acid production (0.071%) lower than control (0,149%). Propolis did not affect the growth of Streptococcus thermophillus (STP), but propolis at 0,6% concentration stimulated lactic acid production (0.182%) higher than control (0.112%). Propolis inhibited the growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (LDB), but at 0,2% concentration, its population was still highest (3.775x108 cell/mL) and lactic acid production was stimulated (0.195%) higher than control (0.123%).

Abstract

Dengue is one of the world's most important arbovirus disease. Dengue pathogenesis has not been yet fully understood. It has been reported that there is involvement of the host immune factors and viral factors. Several studies have shown that concentrations of cytokines/chemokines on blood are significantly increased during infection and viral factors are also involved in disease severity. Therefore, characterization of host gene expression profiles in response to dengue virus infection of different serotypes could provide input for understanding the pathogenesis of dengue. The purpose of this research was to determine expression profiles of the genes (mRNA) of cytokines/chemokines as immune response that are released by monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) cells (host gene) exposed dengue viruses. Four dengue serotypes of Indonesia isolate were used in this study. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were isolated from blood cells of healthy donors by Ficoll gradient centrifugation techniques and then differentiated into MDM cells. Quantitative real time RT-PCR was used to quantify expression levels of cytokine/chemokine-encoding genes from MDM cells infected dengue. Four cytokine/chemokine-encoding genes i.e IP-10, MCP-1, IL-10, and MIP-1β known involved in dengue pathogenesis. Measurement of the expression levels of cytokines/ chemokines showed that the dengue virus of serotypes DENV-1 and DENV-3 caused an increase in the expression of genes encoding cytokine IL-10 and chemokine IP-10 is higher than other serotypes. Further research is needed to better determine the pathogenesis of dengue disease.

Abstract

The development of submergence tolerant rice varieties is urgently required to maintain the stability of future food production, to anticipate the unpredictable global climate changes. Due to in-economical agronomic traits of native submergence tolerant varieties for large scale cultivation, submergence tolerance gene (sub1) must be introduced into popular high-yielding rice variety, such as Ciherang. To develop new submergence tolerant variety with good agronomic traits as those of Ciherang, in this research, submergence tolerance gene (sub1) was introduced into Ciherang variety. To avoid strict GMO regulation, gene introduction was carried out through site-directed crossing. Donor sub1 was crossed with Ciherang host. The selected F1 progenies were further backcrossed to Ciherang 4 x to obtain BC5F1 progeny having ~98% agronomic traits of those of Ciherang. In every cross/backcross generation, submergence test was performed, followed by sub1 marker-assisted PCR. F1 and BC1F1 submergence-tolerant Ciherang were successfully constructed. Co-dominant RM464A marker was not able to discriminate between host, donor, and progenies (F1 and BC1). Co-dominant RM219 maker showed slightly different size between donor and host amplicon, but it was difficult to see their heterozygous progenies. Both C173 and AEX1 dominant markers were able to show sub1 introgression from donor to host. PCR results confirmed that progenies-submergence tolerance was due to sub1 introgression, not escape mechanisms. AEX1 was chosen for subsequent experiments. Backcross until BC5 is in progress, to obtain maximum host retention for engineering new submergence tolerant varieties with good agronomic traits as those of Ciherang.

Abstract

Melastoma affine plant has effect on health such as curing wound and toothache, also as an antimalarial drug. The fruit of this plant is purple and probably contain secondary metabolite compounds such as phenols and flavonoids. The total amount of both compounds may be different in unripe and ripe fruit. The aims of this research were to analyze secondary metabolite compounds and determine total phenol and total flavonoid of Melastoma affine fruit extract. The samples used in this study were unripe and ripe Melastoma affine fruits. Both of samples were extracted by three different solvents (water, 70% ethanol, and 96% ethanol) and obtained 6 extracts. Based on phytochemical test, each extract from unripe and ripe Melastoma affine fruit contained alkaloid, triterpenoid, flavonoid, phenol, and tanin. The extract with highest total phenols was 70% ethanolic extract from unripe fruit (189.56 mg/g GAE), while the extract with highest total flavonoids was 96% ethanolic extract from unripe fruit (225.50 mg/g CE). Based on this result, we conclude that unripe fruit of Melastoma affine has more total phenols and total flavonoids than ripe fruit.
