Mono-ADP-ribosylation is the enzymatic transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to acceptor proteins catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases. Using m-aminophenylboronate affinity chromatography, 2D-gel electrophoresis, in-gel digestion and MALDI-TOF analysis we have identified eight in vitro ADP-ribosylated proteins in Streptomyces coelicolor, which can be classified into three categories: (i) secreted proteins; (ii) metabolic enzymes using NAD+/NADH or NADP+/NADPH as coenzymes; and (iii) other proteins. The secreted proteins could be classified into two functional categories: SCO2008 and SCO5477 encode members of the family of periplasmic extracellular solute-binding proteins, and SCO6108 and SCO1968 are secreted hydrolases. Dehydrogenases are encoded by SCO4824 and SCO4771. The other targets are GlnA (glutamine synthetase I., SCO2198) and SpaA (starvation-sensing protein encoded by SCO7629). SCO2008 protein and GlnA had been identified as ADP-ribosylated proteins in previous studies. With these results we provided experimental support for a previous suggestion that ADP-ribosylation may regulate membrane transport and localization of periplasmic proteins. Since ADP-ribosylation results in inactivation of the target protein, ADP-ribosylation of dehydrogenases might modulate crucial primary metabolic pathways in Streptomyces. Several of the proteins identified here could provide a strong connection between protein ADP-ribosylation and the regulation of morphological differentiation in S. coelicolor.

The SCO5461 gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) codes for an ADP-ribosyltransferase enzyme that is predicted to be a transmembrane protein with an extracellular catalytic domain. PCR-targeted disruption of the gene resulted in a mutant that differentiated normally on complex SFM medium; however, morphological differentiation in minimal medium was significantly delayed and this phenotype was even more pronounced on osmotically enhanced minimal medium. The mutant did not sporulate when it was grown on R5 medium, however the normal morphological differentiation was restored when the strain was cultivated beside the wild-type S. coelicolor M145 strain. Comparison of the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins showed a difference between the mutant and the wild type, fewer modified proteins were present in the cellular crude extract of the mutant strain. These results support our previous suggestions that protein ADP-ribosylation is involved in the regulation of differentiation and antibiotic production and secretion in Streptomyces.

Elif Keser,Farhad B. Naini 대한악안면성형재건외과학회 2022 Maxillofacial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery Vol.44 No.-

Background: Techniques to accelerate tooth movement have been a topic of interest in orthodonticsover the past decade. As orthodontic treatment time is linked to potential detrimental effects, such as increaseddecalcification, dental caries, root resorption, and gingival inflammation, the possibility of reducing treatment timein orthodontics may provide multiple benefits to the patient. Another reason for the surge in interest in acceleratedtooth movement has been the increased interest in adult orthodontics. Review: This review summarizes the different methods for surgical acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement. Italso describes the advantages and limitations of these techniques, including guidance for future investigations. Conclusions: Optimization of the described techniques is still required, but some of the techniques appear to offerthe potential for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement and improving outcomes in well-selected cases.

Ibrahim Keser,Ahter D. Toraman,Gulay Ozbilim,Kenan Guney,Guven Luleci 연세대학교의과대학 2008 Yonsei medical journal Vol.49 No.6

Purpose: A larynx squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common forms of cancer and may exhibit various complex karyotypes. Materials and Methods: We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to analyze DNA gains and losses in 15 squamous cell carcinomas that consisted of 4 glottic, 10 supraglottic, and 1 transglottic localization samples. Results: The majority of the chromosomal alterations detected were gains: 3 samples of LSCCs revealed high level amplification, while 6 samples displayed gains in various chromosomal regions (17p, 3p, 4p, 5p, 6q, 8p, 9p, 14q, 18p and Xq). One sample was found to have losses (chromosomes 15q and 22q) and 5 had normal CGH profiles. Conclusion: Many of these gained regions (4p, 5p, 8p, 10q, 18q and Xq) were novel sites, which may harbor oncogene(s) that potentially play an important role in squamous cell tumorigenesis and progression at supraglottic localizations.

Background: Once limited with face-to face courses, health education has now moved into the web environment after new developments in information technology This study was carried out in order to give training to the university academic and administrative female staff who have difficulty in attending health education planned for specific times and places. The web-supported training focuses on healthy diet, the importance of physical activity, damage of smoking and stress management. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Sakarya University between the years 2012-2013 as a descriptive and quasi experimental study. The sample consisted of 30 participants who agreed to take part in the survey, filled in the forms and completed the whole training. The data were collected via a "Personel Information Form", "Health Promotion Life-Style Profile (HPLSP)", and "Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ). Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the total points from "Health Promotion Life-Style Profile" and the total points from the sub-scale after and before the training (t=3.63, p=0.001). When the points from the multiple choice questionnaire after and before training were compared, it was seen that the average points were higher after the training (t=8.57, p<0.001). Conclusions: It was found that web-supported health training has a positive effect on the healthy living behaviour of female staff working at a Turkish university and on their knowledge of health promotion.

Background: The effects of housing conditions on animal physiology, behavior or stress are still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three different housing systems, individually ventilated cages (IVC), classical small cages with floor surface area of 500 cm2 (CC500) and classical large cages with floor surface area of 800 cm2 (CC800) on body weight, sensory-motor performances, depression-like behavior, plasma corticosterone and brain oxidative stress parameters in C57BL/6 mice. The mice housed in one of the cages from birth to 6 months of age. Hang wire and adhesive removal tests were performed to evaluate somatosensory and motor performances. The extent of depression was determined by the forced swim test. Blood corticosterone levels were measured. In addition, brain malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels were analyzed. Results: The depression-like behavior of the groups was similar. Although there were no significant differences in hang wire test among groups, CC500 group required longer durations in adhesive removal test. The body weight and plasma corticosterone levels of CC800 group were significantly higher than other groups. The oxidative stress parameters were highest in CC500 cage. Conclusions: Our study showed that the least stressful housing condition was IVC cage systems. Interestingly, the number of mice in the classical cages had a significant effect on stress levels and sensory-motor performance.

Meltem Serdaroğlu,Berker Nacak,Merve Karabıyıkoğlu,Gökçen Keser 한국축산식품학회 2016 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.36 No.6

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of partial beef fat replacement (0, 30, 50, 100%) with gelled emulsion (GE) prepared with olive oil on functional and quality properties of model system meat emulsion (MSME). GE consisted of inulin and gelatin as gelling agent and characteristics of gelled and model system meat emulsions were investigated. GE showed good initial stability against centrifugation forces and thermal stability at different temperatures. GE addition decreased the pH with respect to increase in GE concentration. Addition of GE increased lightness and yellowness but reduced redness compared to control samples. The results of the study showed that partial replacement of beef fat with GE could be used for improving cooking yield without negative effects on water holding capacity and emulsion stability compared to C samples when replacement level is up to 50%. The presence of GE significantly affected textural behaviors of samples (p<0.05). In conclusion, our study showed that GE have promising impacts on developing healthier meat product formulations besides improving technological characteristics.

( Ahmet Uslu ),( Candan Ogus ),( Tulay Ozdemir ),( Turker Bilgen ),( Ozgur Tosun ),( Ibrahim Keser ) 생화학분자생물학회 (구 한국생화학분자생물학회) 2010 BMB Reports Vol.43 No.8

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 gene polymorphisms are thought to be involved in the metabolism of theophylline (TP). We aimed to investigate the effect of CYP1A2*1C, CYP1A2*1D, CYP1A2*1E, and CYP1A2*1F polymorphisms of the CYP1A2 on TP metabolism by PCR-RFLP in 100 Turkish patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving TP. One hundred and one healthy volunteers were included as control group. The genotype frequencies of the CYP1A2*1D and CYP1A2*1F were found to be significantly different in the patients compared to the controls. The “T” allele at -2467 delT and the “C” allele at -163 C > A in the CYP1A2 displayed association with a significantly increased risk for COPD. “T” allele at -2467 delT was also associated with a high risk of disease severity in COPD. In conclusion, our data suggest that genetic alterations in CYP1A2 may play a role both in the pharmacogenetics of TP and in the development of COPD. [BMB reports 2010; 43(8): 530-534]
