  abstract  = {The spleen selectively removes cells with intracellular inclusions, for example, detached nuclear fragments in circulating erythrocytes, called Howell-Jolly Bodies (HJBs). With absent or deficient splenic function HJBs appear in the peripheral blood and can be used as a simple and non-invasive risk-indicator for fulminant potentially life-threatening infection after spleenectomy. However, it is still under debate whether counting of the rare HJBs is a reliable measure of splenic function. Investigating HJBs in premature erythrocytes from patients during radioiodine therapy gives about 10 thousand times higher HJB counts than in blood smears. However, we show that there is still the risk of false-positive results by unspecific nuclear remnants in the prepared samples that do not originate from HJBs, but from cell debris residing above or below the cell. Therefore, we present a method to improve accuracy of image-based tests that can be performed even in non-specialized medical institutions. We show how to selectively label HJB-like clusters in human blood samples and how to only count those that are undoubtedly inside the cell. We found a "critical distance" dcrit referring to a relative HJB-Cell distance that true HJBs do not exceed. To rule out false-positive counts we present a simple inside-outside-rule based on dcrit—a robust threshold that can be easily assessed by combining conventional 2D imaging and straight-forward image analysis. Besides data based on fluorescence imaging, simulations of randomly distributed HJB-like objects on realistically modelled cell objects demonstrate the risk and impact of biased counting in conventional analysis. © 2017 The Authors.

  abstract  = {Mammalian haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-type phosphatases have evolved to dephosphorylate a wide range of small metabolites, but can also target macromolecules such as serine/threonine, tyrosine-, and histidine-phosphorylated proteins. To accomplish these tasks, HAD phosphatases are equipped with cap domains that control access to the active site and provide substrate specificity determinants. A number of capped HAD phosphatases impact protein phosphorylation, although structural data are consistent with small metabolite substrates rather than protein substrates. This review discusses the structures, functions and disease implications of the three closely related, capped HAD phosphatases pyridoxal phosphatase (PDXP or chronophin), phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP, also termed AUM or glycerol phosphatase) and phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP or HDHD2B). Evidence in support of small metabolite and protein phosphatase activity is discussed in the context of the diversity of their biological functions.},

  abstract  = {Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is an essential cofactor in the catalysis of ~140 different enzymatic reactions. A pharmacological elevation of cellular PLP concentrations is of interest in neuropsychiatric diseases, but whole-body consequences of higher intracellular PLP levels are unknown. To address this question, we have generated mice allowing a conditional ablation of the PLP phosphatase PDXP. Ubiquitous PDXP deletion increased PLP levels in brain, skeletal muscle and red blood cells up to 3-fold compared to control mice, demonstrating that PDXP acts as a major regulator of cellular PLP concentrations in vivo. Neurotransmitter analysis revealed that the concentrations of dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine and glutamate were unchanged in the brains of PDXP knockout mice. However, the levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) increased by ~20\%, demonstrating that elevated PLP levels can drive additional GABA production. Behavioral phenotyping of PDXP knockout mice revealed improved spatial learning and memory, and a mild anxiety-like behavior. Consistent with elevated GABA levels in the brain, PDXP loss in neural cells decreased performance in motor tests, whereas PDXP-deficiency in skeletal muscle increased grip strength. Our findings suggest that PDXP is involved in the fine-tuning of GABA biosynthesis. Pharmacological inhibition of PDXP might correct the excitatory/inhibitory imbalance in some neuropsychiatric diseases.},

  abstract  = {Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Toxic contaminants in human food or medicinal products, such as substances like pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), have been thought to contribute to cancer incidence. PAs are found in many plant species as secondary metabolites, and they may affect humans through contaminated food sources, herbal medicines, and dietary supplements. Hundreds of compounds belonging to PAs have been identified, differing in their chemical structures, either in their necine base moiety or esterification at their necic acid moiety. PAs undergo hepatic metabolism, and after this process, they can induce hepatotoxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. However, the mechanism of inducing genotoxicity and carcinogenicity is still unclear and warrants further investigation. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the mechanism of genotoxicity induced by selected PAs with different chemical structures in in vitro systems. Primarily, human hepatoma HepG2 cells were utilized, and in co-culture, metabolically active HepG2 cells were combined with non-metabolically active human cervical HeLa H2B-GFP cells. First, the genotoxicity of the PAs europine, lycopsamine, retrorsine, riddelliine, seneciphylline, echimidine, and lasiocarpine was investigated in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. All seven selected PAs caused the formation of micronuclei in a dose-dependent manner, with the maximal increase of micronucleus formation ranging from 1.64 to 2.0 fold. The lowest concentrations at which significant induction of micronuclei was found were 3.2 µM for lasiocarpine and riddelliine, 32 µM for retrorsine and echimidine, and 100 µM for seneciphylline, europine, and lycopsamine. These results confirmed previously published potency rankings in the micronucleus assay. The same PAs, with the exception of seneciphylline, were also investigated in a crosslink-modified comet assay, and reduced tail formation after hydrogen peroxide treatment was found in all diester-type PAs. Meanwhile, an equimolar concentration of the monoesters europine and lycopsamine did not significantly reduce DNA migration. Thus, the crosslinking activity was related to the ester type. Next, the role of metabolic enzymes and membrane transporters in PA-induced genotoxicity was assessed. Ketoconazole (CYP 450-3A4 inhibitor) prevented lasiocarpine-induced micronucleus formation completely, while furafylline (CYP 450-1A2 inhibitor) reduced lasiocarpine-induced micronucleus formation, but did not abolish it completely. This implies that the CYP 450 enzymes play an important role in PA-induced genotoxicity. Carboxylesterase 2 enzyme (CES 2) is commonly known to be involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics. Loperamide (CES 2 inhibitor) yielded an increased formation of lasiocarpine-induced micronuclei, revealing a possible role of CES-mediated detoxification in the genotoxicity of lasiocarpine. Also, intracellular glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in the detoxification of xenobiotics or toxins in the cells. Cells which had been pretreated with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) to reduce GSH content were significantly more sensitive for the induction of micronucleus formation by lasiocarpine revealing the importance of GSH in PA-induced genotoxicity. Quinidine (Q) and nelfinavir (NFR) are OCT1 and OATP1B1 influx transporter inhibitors, respectively, which reduced micronucleus induction by lasiocarpine (only quinidine significantly), but not completely, pointing to a relevance of OCT1 for PA uptake in HepG2 cells. Verapamil (V) and benzbromarone (Bz) are MDR1 and MRP2 efflux transporter inhibitors, respectively, and they caused a slightly increased micronucleus induction by lasiocarpine (significant only for benzbromarone) thus, revealing the role of efflux transporters in PA-induced genotoxicity. The mechanistic approach to PA-induced genotoxicity was further studied based on oxidative stress via the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HepG2 cells. Overproduction of ROS can cross-link cellular macromolecules such as DNA, leading to genomic damage. An equimolar concentration of 10 µM of lasiocarpine (open-diester PA), riddelliine (cyclic-diester PA), and europine (monoester) significantly induced ROS production, with the highest ROS generation observed after lasiocarpine treatment, followed by riddelliine and then europine. No significant increase in ROS production was found with lycopsamine (10 µM; monoester PA), even at a higher concentration (320 µM). The generation of ROS by these PAs was further analyzed for confirmation by using 5 mM of the thiol radical scavenger antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) combined with lasiocarpine, riddelliine, or europine. This analysis yielded a significant decrease in ROS after combining NAC with lasiocarpine, riddelliine, and europine. In addition, lasiocarpine, riddelliine, and europine induced a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, pointing to mitochondria as the source of ROS generation. In vivo, hepatic sinusoidal epithelial cells (HSECs) are known to be damaged first by PAs after hepatic metabolization, but HSECs themselves do not express the required metabolic enzymes for activation of PAs. To mimic this situation, HepG2 cells were used to metabolically activate PA in a co-culture with HeLa H2B-GFP cells as non-metabolically active neighbours. Due to the green fluorescent GFP label the HeLa cells could be identified easily based in the co-culture. The PAs europine, riddelliine and lasiocarpine induced micronucleus formation in HepG2 cells, and in HeLa H2B-GFP cells co-cultured with HepG2 cells, but not in HeLa H2B-GFP cells cultured alone. Metabolic inhibition of CYP 450 enzymes with ketoconazole abrogated micronucleus formation induced by the same PAs tested in the co-culture. The efflux transporter inhibitors verapamil and benzbromarone reduced the micronucleus formation in the co-culture. Furthermore, mitotic disturbances as an additional genotoxic mechanism of action were observed in HepG2 cells and in HeLa H2B-GFP cells co-cultured with HepG2 cells, but not in HeLa H2B-GFP cells cultured alone. Overall, we were able to show that PAs were activated by HepG2 cells and the metabolites induced genomic damage in co-cultured non-metabolically active green HeLa cells. Finally, in HepG2 cells as well as the co-culture, combinations of PAs lasiocarpine and riddelliine favoured an additive effect rather than synergism. Thus, this study therefore provides support that the assumption of dose-addition can be applied in the characterization of the genotoxicity risk of PAs present in a mixture.},

  abstract  = {Various experimental and computational techniques have been employed over the past decade to provide structural and thermodynamic insights into G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) dimerization. Here, we use multiple microsecond-long, coarse-grained, biased and unbiased molecular dynamics simulations (a total of ~4 milliseconds) combined with multi-ensemble Markov state models to elucidate the kinetics of homodimerization of a prototypic GPCR, the µ-opioid receptor (MOR), embedded in a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)/cholesterol lipid bilayer. Analysis of these computations identifies kinetically distinct macrostates comprising several different short-lived dimeric configurations of either inactive or activated MOR. Calculated kinetic rates and fractions of dimers at different MOR concentrations suggest a negligible population of MOR homodimers at physiological concentrations, which is supported by acceptor photobleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments. This study provides a rigorous, quantitative explanation for some conflicting experimental data on GPCR oligomerization.},

To better understand the role of H3S28 phosphorylation in vivo, we studied a Drosophila strain with ectopic expression of constitutively-activated H3S28A, which prevents PRC2 binding at H3S28, thus mimicking H3S28 phosphorylation. H3S28A mutants showed prolonged life span and improved resistance against starvation and paraquat-induced oxidative stress. Morphological and functional analysis of heart tubes revealed smaller luminal areas and thicker walls accompanied by moderately improved cardiac function after acute stress induction. Whole-exome deep gene-sequencing from isolated heart tubes revealed phenotype-corresponding changes in longevity-promoting and myotropic genes. We also found changes in genes controlling mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. Analysis of mitochondrial respiration from whole flies revealed improved efficacy of ATP production with reduced electron transport-chain activity. Finally, we analyzed posttranslational modification of H3S28 in an experimental heart failure model and observed increased H3S28 phosphorylation levels in HF hearts. Our data establish a critical role of H3S28 phosphorylation in vivo for life span, stress resistance, cardiac and mitochondrial function in Drosophila. These findings may pave the way for H3S28 phosphorylation as a putative target to treat stress-related disorders such as heart failure.},

MicroRNAs regulate dynamic gene expression during synaptic plasticity and genetic variation of microRNAs modulating noradrenaline transporter gene (SLC6A2) expression may thus lead to altered central and peripheral processing of fear and anxiety. In silico prediction of microRNA regulation of SLC6A2 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assays and identified hsa-miR-579-3p as a regulating microRNA. The minor (T)-allele of rs2910931 (MAFcases = 0.431, MAFcontrols = 0.368) upstream of MIR579 was associated with panic disorder in patients (pallelic = 0.004, ncases = 506, ncontrols = 506) and with higher trait anxiety in healthy individuals (pASI = 0.029, pACQ = 0.047, n = 3112). Compared to the major (A)-allele, increased promoter activity was observed in luciferase reporter assays in vitro suggesting more effective MIR579 expression and SLC6A2 repression in vivo (p = 0.041). Healthy individuals carrying at least one (T)-allele showed a brain activation pattern suggesting increased defensive responding and sympathetic noradrenergic activation in midbrain and limbic areas during the extinction of conditioned fear. Panic disorder patients carrying two (T)-alleles showed elevated heart rates in an anxiety-provoking behavioral avoidance test (F(2, 270) = 5.47, p = 0.005). Fine-tuning of noradrenaline homeostasis by a MIR579 genetic variation modulated central and peripheral sympathetic noradrenergic activation during fear processing and anxiety.

Genome-wide association studies indicate that mutations in the SCN10A gene (Na\(_V\)1.8) are associated with increased risk for arrhythmias, Brugada syndrome, and sudden cardiac death. However, the mediation of these Na\(_V\)1.8-related effects, whether through cardiac ganglia or cardiomyocytes, is still a subject of controversial discussion. We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate homozygous atrial SCN10A-KO-iPSC-CMs. Ruptured-patch whole-cell patch-clamp was used to measure the I\(_{NaL}\) and action potential duration. Ca\(^{2+}\) measurements (Fluo 4-AM) were performed to analyze proarrhythmogenic diastolic SR Ca\(^{2+}\) leak. The I\(_{NaL}\) was significantly reduced in atrial SCN10A KO CMs as well as after specific pharmacological inhibition of Na\(_V\)1.8. No effects on atrial APD\(_{90}\) were detected in any groups. Both SCN10A KO and specific blockers of Na\(_V\)1.8 led to decreased Ca\(^{2+}\) spark frequency and a significant reduction of arrhythmogenic Ca\(^{2+}\) waves. Our experiments demonstrate that Na\(_V\)1.8 contributes to I\(_{NaL}\) formation in human atrial CMs and that Na\(_V\)1.8 inhibition modulates proarrhythmogenic triggers in human atrial CMs and therefore Na\(_V\)1.8 could be a new target for antiarrhythmic strategies.},

  abstract  = {Vitamin B6 deficiency has been linked to cognitive impairment in human brain disorders for decades. Still, the molecular mechanisms linking vitamin B6 to these pathologies remain poorly understood, and whether vitamin B6 supplementation improves cognition is unclear as well. Pyridoxal phosphatase (PDXP), an enzyme that controls levels of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the co-enzymatically active form of vitamin B6, may represent an alternative therapeutic entry point into vitamin B6-associated pathologies. However, pharmacological PDXP inhibitors to test this concept are lacking. We now identify a PDXP and age-dependent decline of PLP levels in the murine hippocampus that provides a rationale for the development of PDXP inhibitors. Using a combination of small molecule screening, protein crystallography and biolayer interferometry, we discover and analyze 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) as a direct and potent PDXP inhibitor. 7,8-DHF binds and reversibly inhibits PDXP with low micromolar affinity and sub-micromolar potency. In mouse hippocampal neurons, 7,8-DHF increases PLP in a PDXP-dependent manner. These findings validate PDXP as a druggable target. Of note, 7,8-DHF is a well-studied molecule in brain disorder models, although its mechanism of action is actively debated. Our discovery of 7,8-DHF as a PDXP inhibitor offers novel mechanistic insights into the controversy surrounding 7,8-DHF-mediated effects in the brain.},

  abstract  = {RBM20 mutations account for 3 \% of genetic cardiomypathies and manifest with high penetrance and arrhythmogenic effects. Numerous mutations in the conserved RS domain have been described as causing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), whereas a particular mutation (p.R634L) drives development of a different cardiac phenotype: left-ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. We generated a mutation-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line in which the RBM20-LVNC mutation p.R634L was introduced into a DCM patient line with rescued RBM20-p.R634W mutation. These DCM-634L-iPSC can be differentiated into functional cardiomyocytes to test whether this RBM20 mutation induces development of the LVNC phenotype within the genetic context of a DCM patient.},

  abstract  = {Highlights • Loss of DNAJC19's DnaJ domain disrupts cardiac mitochondrial structure, leading to abnormal cristae formation in iPSC-CMs. • Impaired mitochondrial structures lead to an increased mitochondrial respiration, ROS and an elevated membrane potential. • Mutant iPSC-CMs show sarcomere dysfunction and a trend to more arrhythmias, resembling DCMA-associated cardiomyopathy. Background Dilated cardiomyopathy with ataxia (DCMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder arising from truncating mutations in DNAJC19, which encodes an inner mitochondrial membrane protein. Clinical features include an early onset, often life-threatening, cardiomyopathy associated with other metabolic features. Here, we aim to understand the metabolic and pathophysiological mechanisms of mutant DNAJC19 for the development of cardiomyopathy. Methods We generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) of two affected siblings with DCMA and a gene-edited truncation variant (tv) of DNAJC19 which all lack the conserved DnaJ interaction domain. The mutant iPSC-CMs and their respective control cells were subjected to various analyses, including assessments of morphology, metabolic function, and physiological consequences such as Ca\(^{2+}\) kinetics, contractility, and arrhythmic potential. Validation of respiration analysis was done in a gene-edited HeLa cell line (DNAJC19tv\(_{HeLa}\)). Results Structural analyses revealed mitochondrial fragmentation and abnormal cristae formation associated with an overall reduced mitochondrial protein expression in mutant iPSC-CMs. Morphological alterations were associated with higher oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) in all three mutant iPSC-CMs, indicating higher electron transport chain activity to meet cellular ATP demands. Additionally, increased extracellular acidification rates suggested an increase in overall metabolic flux, while radioactive tracer uptake studies revealed decreased fatty acid uptake and utilization of glucose. Mutant iPSC-CMs also showed increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an elevated mitochondrial membrane potential. Increased mitochondrial respiration with pyruvate and malate as substrates was observed in mutant DNAJC19tv HeLa cells in addition to an upregulation of respiratory chain complexes, while cellular ATP-levels remain the same. Moreover, mitochondrial alterations were associated with increased beating frequencies, elevated diastolic Ca\(^{2+}\) concentrations, reduced sarcomere shortening and an increased beat-to-beat rate variability in mutant cell lines in response to β-adrenergic stimulation. Conclusions Loss of the DnaJ domain disturbs cardiac mitochondrial structure with abnormal cristae formation and leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, suggesting that DNAJC19 plays an essential role in mitochondrial morphogenesis and biogenesis. Moreover, increased mitochondrial respiration, altered substrate utilization, increased ROS production and abnormal Ca\(^{2+}\) kinetics provide insights into the pathogenesis of DCMA-related cardiomyopathy.},

In a recent Guest Editorial, members of the German competent authority for risk assessment, the BfR, raised concerns about the scientific justification for this strategy. The complexity and interdependence of the networks of regulation of chemical substances have ensured that public health and wellbeing in the EU have continuously improved. A continuous process of improvement in consumer protection is clearly desirable but any initiative directed towards this objective must be based on scientific knowledge. It must not confound risk with other factors in determining policy.

  abstract  = {Since the addition of fluoride to drinking water in the 1940s, there have been frequent and sometimes heated discussions regarding its benefits and risks. In a recently published review, we addressed the question if current exposure levels in Europe represent a risk to human health. This review was discussed in an editorial asking why we did not calculate benchmark doses (BMD) of fluoride neurotoxicity for humans. Here, we address the question, why it is problematic to calculate BMDs based on the currently available data. Briefly, the conclusions of the available studies are not homogeneous, reporting negative as well as positive results; moreover, the positive studies lack control of confounding factors such as the influence of well-known neurotoxicants. We also discuss the limitations of several further epidemiological studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria of our review. Finally, it is important to not only focus on epidemiological studies. Rather, risk analysis should consider all available data, including epidemiological, animal, as well as in vitro studies. Despite remaining uncertainties, the totality of evidence does not support the notion that fluoride should be considered a human developmental neurotoxicant at current exposure levels in European countries.},

  abstract  = {Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are secondary plant metabolites, which can be found as contaminant in various foods and herbal products. Several PAs can cause hepatotoxicity and liver cancer via damaging hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSECs) after hepatic metabolization. HSECs themselves do not express the required metabolic enzymes for activation of PAs. Here we applied a co-culture model to mimic the in vivo hepatic environment and to study PA-induced effects on not metabolically active neighbour cells. In this co-culture model, bioactivation of PA was enabled by metabolically capable human hepatoma cells HepG2, which excrete the toxic and mutagenic pyrrole metabolites. The human cervical epithelial HeLa cells tagged with H2B-GFP were utilized as non-metabolically active neighbours because they can be identified easily based on their green fluorescence in the co-culture. The PAs europine, riddelliine and lasiocarpine induced micronuclei in HepG2 cells, and in HeLa H2B-GFP cells co-cultured with HepG2 cells, but not in HeLa H2B-GFP cells cultured alone. Metabolic inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes with ketoconazole abrogated micronucleus formation. The efflux transporter inhibitors verapamil and benzbromarone reduced micronucleus formation in the co-culture model. Furthermore, mitotic disturbances as an additional genotoxic mechanism of action were observed in HepG2 cells and in HeLa H2B-GFP cells co-cultured with HepG2 cells, but not in HeLa H2B-GFP cells cultured alone. Overall, we were able to show that PAs were activated by HepG2 cells and the metabolites induced genomic damage in co-cultured HeLa cells.},

  abstract  = {Recent analyses conducted by German official food control reported detection of the aromatic amides N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)acetamide (NDPA), N-acetoacetyl-m-xylidine (NAAX) and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthanilide (Naphthol AS) in cold water extracts from certain food contact materials made from paper or cardboard, including paper straws, paper napkins, and cupcake liners. Because aromatic amides may be cleaved to potentially genotoxic primary amines upon oral intake, these findings raise concern that transfer of NDPA, NAAX and Naphthol AS from food contact materials into food may present a risk to human health. The aim of the present work was to assess the stability of NDPA, NAAX and Naphthol AS and potential cleavage to 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-DMA) and aniline during simulated passage through the gastrointestinal tract using static in vitro digestion models. Using the digestion model established by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM, Bilthoven, NL) and a protocol recommended by the European Food Safety Authority, potential hydrolysis of the aromatic amides to the respective aromatic amines was assessed by LC-MS/MS following incubation of the aromatic amides with digestive fluid simulants. Time-dependent hydrolysis of NDPA and NAAX resulting in formation of the primary aromatic amine 2,4-DMA was consistently observed in both models. The highest rate of cleavage of NDPA and NAAX was recorded following 4 h incubation with 0.07 M HCl as gastric-juice simulant, and amounted to 0.21\% and 0.053\%, respectively. Incubation of Naphthol AS with digestive fluid simulants did not give rise to an increase in the concentration of aniline above the background that resulted from the presence of aniline as an impurity of the test compound. Considering the lack of evidence for aniline formation from Naphthol AS and the extremely low rate of hydrolysis of the amide bonds of NDPA and NAAX during simulated passage through the gastrointestinal tract that gives rise to only very minor amounts of the potentially mutagenic and/or carcinogenic aromatic amine 2,4-DMA, risk assessment based on assumption of 100\% cleavage to the primary aromatic amines would appear to overestimate health risks related to the presence of aromatic amides in food contact materials.},

  abstract  = {Changes in sugar composition occur continuously in plant tissues at different developmental stages. Tuber dormancy induction, stability, and breaking are very critical developmental transitions in yam crop production. Prolonged tuber dormancy after physiological maturity has constituted a great challenge in yam genetic improvement and productivity. In the present study, biochemical profiling of non-structural sugar in yam tubers during dormancy was performed to determine the role of non-structural sugar in yam tuber dormancy regulation. Two genotypes of the white yam species, one local genotype (Obiaoturugo) and one improved genotype (TDr1100873), were used for this study. Tubers were sampled at 42, 56, 87, 101, 115, and 143 days after physiological maturity (DAPM). Obiaoturugo exhibited a short dormant phenotype and sprouted at 101-DAPM, whereas TDr1100873 exhibited a long dormant phenotype and sprouted at 143-DAPM. Significant metabolic changes were observed in non-structural sugar parameters, dry matter, and moisture content in Obiaoturugo from 56-DAPM, whereas in TDr1100873, significant metabolic changes were observed from 101-DAPM. It was observed that the onset of these metabolic changes occurred at a point when the tubers of both genotypes exhibited a dry matter content of 60\%, indicating that a dry matter content of 60\% might be a critical threshold for white yam tuber sprouting. Non-reducing sugars increased by 9-10-fold during sprouting in both genotypes, which indicates their key role in tuber dormancy regulation in white yam. This result implicates that some key sugar metabolites can be targeted for dormancy manipulation of the yam crop.},

  abstract  = {Die Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphat Phosphatase (PDXP), auch bekannt als Chronophin (CIN), ist eine HAD-Phosphatase, die beim Menschen ubiquit{\"a}r exprimiert wird und eine entscheidende Rolle im zellul{\"a}ren Vitamin-B6-Metabolismus einnimmt. PDXP ist in der Lage Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphat (PLP), die co-enzymatisch aktive Form von Vitamin B6, zu dephosphorylieren. In-vivo Studien mit M{\"a}usen zeigten, dass die Abwesenheit von PDXP mit verbesserten kognitiven Leistungen und einem verringerten Wachstum von Hirntumoren assoziiert ist. Dies begr{\"u}ndet die gezielte Suche nach einem pharmakologischen Inhibitor f{\"u}r PDXP. Ein Hochdurchsatz-Screen legte nahe, dass 7,8-Dihydroxyflavon (7,8-DHF) hierf{\"u}r ein potenzieller Kandidat ist. Zahlreiche Studien beschreiben bereits vielf{\"a}ltige positive neurologische Effekte nach in-vivo Administration von 7,8-DHF, allerdings bleibt der genaue Wirkmechanismus umstritten und wird bis dato nicht mit PDXP in Zusammenhang gebracht. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Inhibition von PDXP durch 7,8-DHF n{\"a}her zu charakterisieren und damit einen Beitrag zur Beantwortung der Frage zu leisten, ob PDXP an den 7,8-DHF-induzierten Effekten beteiligt ist. Hierzu wurde der Effekt von 7,8-DHF auf die enzymatische Aktivit{\"a}t von rekombinant hergestelltem, gereinigtem PDXP in in-vitro Phosphatase-Assays charakterisiert. Um die Selektivit{\"a}t von 7,8-DHF gegen{\"u}ber PDXP zu untersuchen, wurden f{\"u}nf weitere HAD-Phosphatasen getestet. Unter den analysierten Phosphatasen zeigte einzig die dem PDXP nah verwandte Phosphoglykolat Phosphatase (PGP) eine geringer ausgepr{\"a}gte Sensitivit{\"a}t gegen 7,8-DHF. Ein Vergleich von 7,8-DHF mit sechs strukturell verwandten, hydroxylierten Flavonen zeigte, dass 7,8-DHF unter den getesteten Substanzen die h{\"o}chste Potenz und Effektivit{\"a}t aufwies. Außerdem wurde eine Co-Kristallisation von PDXP mit 7,8-DHF durchgef{\"u}hrt, deren Struktur bis zu einer Aufl{\"o}sung von 2,0 {\AA} verfeinert werden konnte. Die in der Kristallstruktur identifizierte Bindungsstelle von 7,8-DHF an PDXP wurde mittels verschiedener, neu generierter PDXP-Mutanten enzymkinetisch best{\"a}tigt. Zusammenfassend zeigen die hier beschriebenen Ergebnisse, dass 7,8-DHF ein direkter, selektiver und vorwiegend kompetitiver Inhibitor der PDXP-Aktivit{\"a}t ist, mit einer IC50 im submikromolaren Bereich. Die Ergebnisse dieser in-vitro Untersuchungen motivieren zu weiterer Forschung bez{\"u}glich der 7,8-DHF-vermittelten Inhibition der PDXP-Aktivit{\"a}t in Zellen, um die Frage beantworten zu k{\"o}nnen, ob PDXP auch in-vivo ein relevantes Target f{\"u}r 7,8-DHF darstellt.},
