Disruption of the developmental programme of Trypanosoma brucei by genetic ablation of TbZFP1, a differentiation-enriched CCCH protein
No full textThe regulation of differentiation is particularly important in microbial eukaryotes that inhabit multiple environments. The parasite Trypanosoma brucei is an extreme example of this, requiring exquisite gene regulation during transmission from mammals to the tsetse fly vector. Unusually, trypanosomes rely almost exclusively on post-transcriptional mechanisms for regulated gene expression. Hence, RNA binding proteins are potentially of great significance in controlling stage-regulated processes. We have previously identified TbZFP1 as a trypanosome molecule transiently enriched during differentiation to tsetse midgut procyclic forms. This small protein (101 amino acids) contains the unusual CCCH zinc finger, an RNA binding motif. Here, we show that genetic ablation of TbZFP1 compromises repositioning of the mitochondrial genome, a specific event in the strictly regulated differentiation programme. Despite this, other events that occur both before and after this remain intact. Significantly, this phenotype correlates with the TbZFP1 expression profile during differentiation. This is the first genetic disruption of a developmental regulator in T. brucei. It demonstrates that programmed events in parasite development can be uncoupled at the molecular level. It also further supports the importance of CCCH proteins in key aspects of trypanosome cell function

A survey of lactic acid bacteria for enzymes of interest to oenology
No full textCopyright © 2008 Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology Inc.Isolates from wine-associated genera of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Lactobacillus, Oenococcus and Pediococcus, were examined for enzymatic properties that could be of value in the production and processing of wine. Up to 438 combinations of bacterial isolates and substrates were examined. Across the 50 isolates investigated, all were found to hydrolyse esters, with the greatest activity being seen amongst the oenococci followed by the lactobacilli and pediococci. Lipase activity was restricted to three Lactobacillus isolates, while all tested isolates displayed tannase activity. Cellulase, Β-glucanase and lichenase activities were observed for almost all Pediococcus and Lactobacillus isolates, while such activities were seen for only a minority of oenococci. No degradation of the xylan substrate was detected. Once confirmed under wine-like conditions, our findings will help define potentially interesting genera of LAB for winemaking.Angela Matthews, Paul R. Grbin and Vladimir Jirane

Biochemical characterisation of the esterase activities of wine lactic acid bacteria
No full textThe original publication can be found at www.springerlink.comEsters are an important group of volatile compounds that can contribute to wine flavour. Wine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been shown to produce esterases capable of hydrolysing ester substrates. This study aims to characterise the esterase activities of nine LAB strains under important wine conditions, namely, acidic conditions, low temperature (to 10°C) and in the presence of ethanol (2–18% v/v). Esterase substrate specificity was also examined using seven different ester substrates. The bacteria were generally found to have a broad pH activity range, with the majority of strains showing maximum activity close to pH 6.0. Exceptions included an Oenococcus oeni strain that retained most activity even down to a pH of 4.0. Most strains exhibited highest activity across the range 30–40°C. Increasing ethanol concentration stimulated activity in some of the strains. In particular, O. oeni showed an increase in activity up to a maximum ethanol concentration of around 16%. Generally, strains were found to have greater activity towards short-chained esters (C2–C8) compared to long-chained esters (C10–C18). Even though the optimal physicochemical conditions for enzyme activity differed from those found in wine, these findings are of potential importance to oenology because significant activities remained under wine-like conditions.Angela Matthews, Paul R.
