1. GC-MS Studies on the Conversion and Derivatization of γ-Glutamyl Peptides to Pyroglutamate (5-Oxo-Proline) Methyl Ester Pentafluoropropione Amide Derivatives

Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is the most abundant intra-cellular dicarboxylic tripeptide with multiple physiological roles. In biological samples, glutathione exists in its reduced form GSH and in two stable oxidized forms, i.e., in its symmetric disulfide form GSSG and as S-glutathionyl residue in proteins. S-Glutathionylation is a post-translational modification, which is involved in several pathophysiological processes, including oxidative stress. The GSH-to-GSSG molar ratio is widely used as a measure of oxidative stress. γ-Glutamyl is the most characteristic structural moiety of GSH. We performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) studies for the development of a highly specific qualitative and quantitative method for γ-glutamyl peptides. We discovered intra-molecular conversion of GSH, GSSG, γ-Glu-Cys and of ophthalmic acid (OPH; γ-glutamyl-α-amino-n-butyryl-glycine) to pyroglutamate (pGlu; 5-oxo-proline, also known as pidolic acid) during their derivatization with 2 M HCl/CH3OH (60 min, 80 °C). For GC-MS analysis, the methyl esters (Me) were further derivatized with pentafluoropropionic (PFP) anhydride in ethyl acetate (1:4, v/v; 30 min, 65 °C) to their PFP derivatives. At longer reaction times, pGlu is hydrolyzed to Glu. Internal standards were prepared by derivatizing GSH, GSSG, γ-Glu-Cys and OPH in 2 M HCl/CD3OD. Quantification of the Me-PFP derivative of pGlu was performed in the electron-capture negative-ion chemical ionization (ECNICI) mode by selected-ion monitoring (SIM) of the mass-to-charge (m/z) ions 269 for unlabeled pGlu (d0Me-PFP-pGlu) and m/z 272 for the in situ prepared deuterium-labeled pGlu (d3Me-PFP-pGlu). Although not inherent to the analysis of small peptides, the present GC-MS method is useful to study several biochemical aspects of GSH. Using pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFB-Br) as the derivatization reagent, we found that synthetic pGlu is converted in aqueous acetone (60 min, 50 °C) into its pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) ester (PFB-pGlu). This derivatization procedure is useful for the GC-MS analysis of free pGlu in the ECNICI mode. Quantitative analysis of PFB-pGlu by GC-MS requires the use of stable-isotope labeled analogs of pGlu as an internal standard.
2. Functional characterization of a gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase ProA in proline biosynthesis and promoting expression of type three secretion system in Ralstonia solanacearum
Yue Guan, Rongsheng Wang, Nan Chen, Yalan Zhu, Liangliang Han, Xinping Chen, Jing Li, Yong Zhang Front Microbiol. 2022 Aug 29;13:945831. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.945831. eCollection 2022.
Ralstonia solanacearum RSc2741 has been predicted as a gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase ProA catalyzing the second reaction of proline formation from glutamate. Here, we experimentally demonstrated that proA mutants were proline auxotrophs that failed to grow in a minimal medium, and supplementary proline, but not glutamate, fully restored the diminished growth, confirming that ProA is responsible for the biosynthesis of proline from glutamate in R. solanacearum. ProA was previously identified as one of the candidates regulating the expression of genes for type three secretion system (T3SS), one of the essential pathogenicity determinants of R. solanacearum. Supplementary proline significantly enhanced the T3SS expression both in vitro and in planta, indicating that proline is a novel inducer of the T3SS expression. Deletion of proA substantially impaired the T3SS expression both in vitro and in planta even under proline-supplemented conditions, indicating that ProA plays additional roles apart from proline biosynthesis in promoting the expression of the T3SS genes. It was further revealed that the involvement of ProA in the T3SS expression was mediated through the pathway of PrhG-HrpB. Both the proA mutants and the wild-type strain grew in the intercellular spaces of tobacco leaves, while their ability to invade and colonize tobacco xylem vessels was substantially impaired, which was about a 1-day delay for proA mutants to successfully invade xylem vessels and was about one order of magnitude less than the wild-type strain to proliferate to the maximum densities in xylem vessels. It thus resulted in substantially impaired virulence of proA mutants toward host tobacco plants. The impaired abilities of proA mutants to invade and colonize xylem vessels were not due to possible proline insufficiency in the rhizosphere soil or inside the plants. All taken together, these results extend novel insights into the understanding of the biological function of ProA and sophisticated regulation of the T3SS and pathogenicity in R. solanacearum.
3. Role of Gln79 in Feedback Inhibition of the Yeast γ-Glutamyl Kinase by Proline

Awamori, the traditional distilled alcoholic beverage of Okinawa, Japan, is brewed with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During the distillation process after the fermentation, enormous quantities of distillation residues containing yeast cells must be disposed of, and this has recently been recognized as a major problem both environmentally and economically. Proline, a multifunctional amino acid, has the highest water retention capacity among amino acids. Therefore, distillation residues with large amounts of proline could be useful in cosmetics. Here, we isolated a yeast mutant with high levels of intracellular proline and found a missense mutation (Gln79His) on the PRO1 gene encoding the γ-glutamyl kinase Pro1, a limiting enzyme in proline biosynthesis. The amino acid change of Gln79 to His in Pro1 resulted in desensitization to the proline-mediated feedback inhibition of GK activity, leading to the accumulation of proline in cells. Biochemical and in silico analyses showed that the amino acid residue at position 79 is involved in the stabilization of the proline binding pocket in Pro1 via a hydrogen-bonding network, which plays an important role in feedback inhibition. Our current study, therefore, proposed a possible mechanism underlying the feedback inhibition of γ-glutamyl kinase activity. This mechanism can be applied to construct proline-accumulating yeast strains to effectively utilize distillation residues.
