A flavoprotein supports cell wall properties in the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria brassicicola ArchiMer
Pigné, Sandrine; Zykwinska, Agata; Janod, Etienne; Cuenot, Stéphane; Kerkoud, Mohammed; Raulo, Roxane; Bataillé-simoneau, Nelly; Marchi, Muriel; Kwasiborski, Anthony; N’guyen, Guillaume; Mabilleau, Guillaume; Simoneau, Philippe; Guillemette, Thomas.
Background: Flavin-dependent monooxygenases are involved in key biological processes as they catalyze a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxygenation reactions. Flavoprotein monooxygenases are frequently encountered in micro-organisms, most of which require further functional and biocatalytic assessment. Here we investigated the function of the AbMak1 gene, which encodes a group A flavin monooxygenase in the plant pathogenic fungus Alternaria brassicicola, by generating a deficient mutant and examining its phenotype. Results: Functional analysis indicates that the AbMak1 protein is involved in cell wall biogenesis and influences the melanization process. We documented a significant decrease in melanin content in the Äabmak1 strain...

Age- and quality-dependent DNA methylation correlate with melanin-based coloration in a wild bird ArchiMer
Soulsbury, Carl D.; Lipponen, Anssi; Wood, Kristie; Mein, Charles A.; Hoffman, Joseph I.; Lebigre, Christophe.
Secondary sexual trait expression can be influenced by fixed individual factors (such as genetic quality) as well as by dynamic factors (such as age and environmentally induced gene expression) that may be associated with variation in condition or quality. In particular, melanin-based traits are known to relate to condition and there is a well-characterized genetic pathway underpinning their expression. However, the mechanisms linking variable trait expression to genetic quality remain unclear. One plausible mechanism is that genetic quality could influence trait expression via differential methylation and differential gene expression. We therefore conducted a pilot study examining DNA methylation at a candidate gene (agouti-related neuropeptide: AgRP) in...

Differences in the cell wall architecture of melanin lacking and melanin producing Cryptococcus neoformans clinical isolates from India: an electron microscopic study BJM
Mandal,Piyali; Roy,Tara S.; Das,Taposh K.; Banerjee,Uma; Xess,Immaculata; Nosanchuk,Joshua D..
Cryptococcus neoformans is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening infection of the central nervous system. A major virulence factor for C. neoformans is the production of melanin in the cell wall. Using transmission electron microscopy, we studied the cell walls of three pairs of isolates obtained from patients with dual cryptococcal infections, where a melanotic and an albino strain were isolated from the CSF of each patient. Transmission Electron Microscopy revealed that the albino strains lacked a melanin layer whereas a melanin layer was associated with the cell wall of the melanotic strains, comprising approximately 75% of the cell wall area. The cell wall size of the melanin producing cells was approximately double...

Differences in wing melanization and pigmentation pattern in Drosophila buzzatii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) under chemical stress Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent.
Mongiardino Koch,Nicolás; Hasson,Esteban; Soto,Ignacio M..
Recently, the genetic basis and developmental mechanisms underlying the process of melanization have become progressively elucidated, allowing us to study the evolutionary processes that govern the huge variability of pigmentation observed in nature. However, environmental factors contributing to such variability have received little attention, even though they might have profound ecological consequences. Here we describe a method for analyzing the wing melanization patterns of drosophilids in both qualitative and quantitative ways. We test this method on wings of Drosophila buzzatii Patterson & Wheeler individuals, reared in control and alkaloid-enriched mediums. The alkaloids were extracted from the secondary host of these flies, Echinopsis...

Extracts from Amazonian plants have inhibitory activity against tyrosinase: an in vitro evaluation BJPS
Macrini,Daclé Juliani; Suffredini,Ivana Barbosa; Varella,Antonio Drauzio; Younes,Riad Naim; Ohara,Mitsuko Taba.
Dermatological disorders related to pigmentation result in tenuous hyper or hypopigmentation Cosmetic and pharmaceutical products containing depigmenting substances are used in the treatment of patients who have high pigmentation disorders, such as melasma or chloasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, senile lentigo and ephelides. Skin lightening agents are not yet totally effective or safe and therefore intensive research for the discovery of new agents is continuous. Enzyme inhibitors involved in melanogenesis, such as tyrosinase, have been discovered in Asian countries, including those isolated from plant extracts. The Brazilian flora has the highest species diversity in the world, and the chemical, pharmacological and cosmetic potential for the...

Heat Shock Protein Hspa5 Interacts with and Protects Tyrosinase Activity BABT
Tang,Hongmin; Zhou,Peifu.
In this study, heat shock protein, Hspa5 was cloned, expressed and purified subsequently confirmed that it interacted with the tyrosinase (TYR) in vitro. Then, using the crystal structure of the homologous protein from the bacteria as a template, a homology model of human TYR was constructed. This model was further applied to investigate the molecular docking with Hspa5. The model showed that the interaction between the TYR and Hspa5 was mainly maintained by some hydrogen bonds in a quite low energy state. The results indicated that TYR was protected in different denaturation conditions by Hspa5. It was concluded that Hspa5 served as a molecular chaperone of TYR, which could help to better understand the molecule regulation mechanism of TRY in many kinds...

Identification and Characterisation of Alternative Splice Variants of Hoxb9 and Their Correlation with Melanogenesis in the Black-Boned Chicken Rev. Bras. Ciênc. Avic.
Wang,G; Yu,S; Liao,J.
ABSTRACT Homeobox B9 (HOXB9) gene has been demonstrated to be associated with melanogenesis in chicken plumage by high-throughput RNA sequencing. In this study, we cloned and characterised HOXB9 in black-boned chickens. Two alternative splice variants (HOXB9-1 and HOXB9-2) were identified in chicken feather bulbs. Expression analysis of HOXB9 in 11 different chicken tissues by RT-PCR indicated that the two transcripts were only expressed in the kidney, abdominal fat, feather bulbs, skin, and small intestine. No HOXB9-1 or HOXB9-2 transcripts were detected in the breast muscle or the ovary. The two HOXB9 variants were expressed at significantly different levels in black feather bulbs and white feather bulbs (p<0.01), and in black skin compared with white...

Inheritance of a new albino mutation in Brazilian free-range black chickens Rev. Bras. Ciênc. Avic.
Jorge,W; Cunha,LM.
A genetically recessive albino mutation, which inhibits pigment development in the eyes, skin, and feathers of domestic chickens from Brazil, is described. This mutation appeared in a flock of completely black chickens of a private breeder. There are no information on the origin, breed, or specific line of the birds. Pigment inhibition is apparently complete in the feathers and eyes. Bird sight is very impaired, but no histological examination was carried out. Ratios obtained in F2 and backcrossed birds indicate that a single autosomal recessive gene is responsible for the condition. The data suggest that the absence of melanin in the eyes, skin, and feathers (symbol cc) is a mutation of the pigmented C wild gene.

Isolation and partial characterization of a mutant of Bacillus thuringiensis producing melanin BJM
Vilas-Bôas,Gislayne T.; Vilas-Bôas,Laurival A.; Braz,Veridiana T.; Saridakis,Halha O.; Santos,Clelton A.; Arantes,Olívia M. N..
A mutant (407-P) of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. thuringiensis strain 407 producing a melanin was obtained after treatment with the mutagenic agent ethyl-methane-sulfonate. Several microbiological and biochemical properties of the two strains were analyzed and the results were similar. The mutant 407-P was also incorporated into non-sterilized soil samples, recovered, easily identified, and quantified, what enables its use in ecology of B. thuringiensis.

Mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity and major fatty acid constituents of Amazonian native flora oils BJPS
Teixeira,Raquel da Silva; Rocha,Paula Rafaela; Polonini,Hudson Caetano; Brandão,Marcos Antônio Fernandes; Chaves,Maria das Graças Afonso Miranda; Raposo,Nádia Rezende Barbosa.
In order to treat hyperpigmentation-related problems, there has been a global trend in developing cosmetics claiming to have skin-whitening properties, which act by inhibiting melanin biosynthesis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity of five Amazonian native flora oils, and so to verify the possibility of their incorporation into cosmetic products. In addition, the fatty acid composition of the essential oils was determined by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection in order to determine the main components of these oils. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the tested oils was found to be in the following order: açaí (IA50 = 66.08 µg mL-1) > tucumã > patauá > pracaxi > castanha...
