Abstract

Actinomycetes are bacterial groups that produce many secondary metabolites, which different biological activities, such as antifungi, antibacteria, antivirus, antitumor, etc. Actinomycetes are widely distributed in soil and their diversity is influenced by type of forest. The aim of this study is to investigate diversity of actinomycetes in several forest types of Wanagama I forest in Yogyakarta and their potency as a producer of antifungal compound. Soil samples under the forest of Tectona grandis, Swietenia macrophylla King, Bamboosa vulgaris, Melaleuca leucadendron, and Gliricidia maculata were used as sources of soil bacteria. Bacteria and actinomycetes communities were analyzed through culture-independent approach by RISA and nested-PCR RISA using actinomycetes spesific primer (F243), respectively. Through culture-dependent approach, isolated actinomycetes diversity were analyzed by identification of morphology (colony and cell), genetic (BOX element by rep-PCR), and secondary metabolites (thin layer chromatography). In addition, isolates were assayed for their antifungal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisae, Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus flavus. The presence of Polyketide Synthase-I (PKS-I) and NonRibosomal Peptide Synthetase (NRPS) genes were amplified by PCR to study their correlation with antifungal activity of the actinomycete isolates. The results showed that types of forest influence diversity of rhizobacteria especially actinomycetes. According to culture-independent approach, relatively, com-</div><div>munity of rhizobacteria from the highest were soil under the forest of B. vulgaris, G. maculata, T. grandis, S.macrophylla King, and M. leucadendron, respectively. Meanwhile, community of actinomycetes from the highest were soil under the forest of G. maculata, B. vulgaris, M. leucadendron, S. macrophylla King, and T. grandis, respec- tively. Fourty-three morphologically different isolates were found by using culture-dependent approach consisting of 17 isolates were found in soil under the forest of M. leucadedron, each of 9 isolates in G. maculata and T. grandis, 6 isolates in S. macrophylla King. and 2 isolates in B. vulgaris. More diversity of secondary metabolites were observed in soil actinomycetes under the forest of M. leucadendron. Of the 43 isolates, 100% were active against S.cerevisae, 37.20% against C. albicans, 95.30% against F. oxysporum, and 83.70% against A. flavus. Antifungal activity of actinomycete isolates did not always have correlation with the presence of PKS-I and NRPS.

Abstract

Organohalogen compounds are widely used industrially and agriculturally, as well as in households as flame retardants and refrigerants. However, these compounds can become significant pollutants through their accidental or deliberate release into the environment in large quantities. Dehalogenase is an enzyme with the potential to be used in the removal of organohalogen contaminants. A previous study successfully subcloned a 690 bp of haloacid dehalogenase gene (hakp1) from Klebsiella pneumoniae ITB1 into a pET-30a(+) expression system to achieve high enzyme productivity. IPTG was used as an inducer to express a pET-hakp1 recombinant clone in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The molecular mass of the haloacid dehalogenase Hakp1 protein was 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. Zymogram analysis showed that this recombinant protein has dehalogenase activity as shown by the formation of AgCl white precipitate. A quantitative assay of haloacid dehalogenase Hakp1 gave a specific activity of 84.29 U/mg with the optimum temperature of 40°C at pH 9. Predicted three-dimensional structure of Hakp1 showed α/β motif folding which comprised of cap and core domain. The predicted active sites of Hakp1 were Asp8, Glu10, Leu22, Phe23, Trp90, Ser125, Ser126, Lys159, and Asp184 with Asp8, Glu10, Ser126, and Lys159 act as binding residue. This recombinant haloacid dehalogenase clone provides an alternative agent for effective bioremediation of organohalogen pollutants.

Abstract

Hormon Replacement Therapy is a common therapy for estrogen deficiency but in other side it will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Another alternative therapy which relatively more safe is using phytoestrogen. The Citrus reticulata&rsquo;s peel contain flavanone and polimethoxyflavone which are suspected to give estrogenic effect, therefore it is potential to be used as phytoestrogen.The purpose of this study was to examine the estrogenic effect of Citrus reticulata&rsquo;s peel extract in modulation of bone density and blood cholesterol profile of ovariectomized rats (OVX), an animal model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Thirty six 7-weeks-old female Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to six groups: a SO group, an OVX group, an OVX+CMCNa group, an OVX+extract dose 500 mg/kgBW group, an OVX+extract dose 1000 mg/kgBW group, and an OVX+estradiol group. After 7 weeks, the rats were killed then blood and femoral were collected immediately. The rontgenogram indicated that extract and estradiol administration increase the bone density. And the data analysis with Oneway ANOVA test ,followed by Shceff&eacute; test (P 0.05) showed that extract can improve blood cholesterol profile in dose depend manner. These results suggest a possible role of Citrus reticulata&rsquo;s peel extract as women&rsquo;s health agent because of its beneficial effects on bone and lipids.

Abstract

This study was carried out to analyze the suitability of the identification of four indigenous cellulose-producing acetic acid bacterial isolates (ANG29, KRE65, ANG32 and SAL53) based on the analysis of whole cellular protein profiles against identification based on phenotypic traits. Whole cellular protein profiles were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. The whole cellular protein profiles obtained from sample isolates, were compared with reference isolates for species identification. The results showed that based on visual observations can be determined as much as 12 bands of protein with a molecular weight of 19,099 KDa up to 132.182 KDa. Based on the analysis of protein bands were detected visually, fourth indigenous cellulose- producing acetic acid bacterial isolates in the study had a higher similarity profile to the reference strain Gluconacetobacter xylinus BTCC 769 compared with other reference strains namely G. hansenii NBRC 14820T. This condition is consistent with the results of the identification of fourth cellulose producing acetic acid bacterial isolates based on phenotypic traits. Thus, the whole cellular protein profiles by SDS-PAGE technique can be used as a one of method to identification of cellulose producing acetic acid bacterial isolates.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the primary causes of mortality in women due to human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. The fingerprint of an HPV infection could be detected using a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) biomarker, enabling it to be utilized in molecular diagnostics. The primary structure or sequences of RNA should be annotated within conventional bioinformatics tools. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the fine-grained 2D and 3D structures of lncRNA PVT1 and its respective siRNA inhibitors. lncRNA PVT1 sequences from Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, and Rattus norvegicus were retrieved from Genbank (NCBI). Prediction of the 2D structure and analysis of the interactions of the lncRNA and siRNA were performed using the Vienna RNA package. The 3D structure of the RNA was computed using the SimRNA and ModeRNA software programs. The results showed that lncRNA PVT1 from H. sapiens and M. musculus had a conserved region. However, the lncRNA from both H. sapiens and M. musculus showed a low conserved region, and the 2D structure could not be determined; thus, the annotation and 2D model focused only on H. sapiens. Both of their lncRNA PVT1 also had a short half-life in the cell. Based on the 3D modeling pipeline, the 3D model of lncRNA PVT1 showed the stability and possible function as molecules, while the PVT1 siRNA-lncRNA interaction analysis revealed that the molecules could bind well. Based on these findings, the structures of both lncRNA PVT1 and its siRNA have the potential to be utilized as biomarkers.

Abstract

Marine actinomycetes is a group of bacteria that is highly potential in producing novel bioactivecompound. It has unique characteristics and is different from other terrestrial ones. Extreme environmentalcondition is suspected to lead marine actinomycetes produce different types of bioactive compoundfound previously. The aim of this study was to explore the presence and diversity of NRPS genes in 14anticancer-producing actinomycetes isolated from marine sediment in Indonesia. PCR amplificationand restriction fragment analysis of NRPS genes with HaeIII from 14 marine actinomycetes were doneto assess the diversity of NRPS genes. Genome mining of one species of marine actinomycetes (strainGMY01) also was employed towards this goal. The result showed that NRPS gene sequence diversity in 14marine actinomycetes could be divided into 4 groups based on NRPS gene restriction patterns. Analysisof 16S rRNA gene sequences of representatives from each group showed that all isolates belong to genusof Streptomyces. Genome mining result showed that strain GMY01 harboring 10 different NRPS geneclusters that encode secondary metabolites, as pure NRPS or hybrid between NRPS and other compounds.These results indicated that marine actinomycetes having a high potential to be developed as source ofanticancer drugs development.
