Full textDeuterated and tritiated compounds are widely used in numerous applications in chemistry, biology and material science. In the drug discovery and development process, ADME studies require quick access to labelled molecules, otherwise the drug development costs and timeline are significantly impacted. The rapid development of metabolomics has also increased the need for isotopically labelled compounds. In particular, deuterated molecules are used as internal standards for quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis of metabolites in biological fluids and tissues. In this context, a general method allowing the deuterium and tritium labelling of bioactive thioethers using a HIE reaction is described in the first chapter. From a fundamental point of view, this transformation is the first example of (Csp³)-H activation directed by a sulfur atom. In terms of application, this new reaction has been proved to be useful for the preparation of deuterated LC-MS/MS reference materials and tritiated pharmaceuticals owning high specific activity.In the second chapter of this manuscript, the development of a method allowing the cross-dehydrogenative homocoupling of 2-arylpyridines catalyzed by Ru/C is developed. Various substrates with different substituents were efficiently coupled to give the desired dimers in good yield. In terms of application, a series of pyridine-boron complexes derived from the phenyl pyridine dimers were also synthesized and their photophysical properties were studied.In the third chapter, a regioselective palladium catalyzed intramolecular arylation reaction allowing the synthesis of pyridine containing polycyclic compounds is described

Full textCharacterization of fungal secondary metabolomes became a great challenge in the last decades due to both the emergence of fungal threats, and the industrial interest of many natural products; In view of this, we recently developed an analytical strategy for fungal secondary metabolome characterization (Cano P. et al. Anal. Chem. (2013) 85:8412) based on untargeted MS metabolomics applied to labeled samples. This strategy has been here validated by application to the analysis of the complex secondary metabolomes of Penicillium verrucosum and Penicillium nordicum. HRMS acquisitions performed on specific isotopically labelled samples, MS/MS experiments and in-silico emerging tools such as molecular networks, allowed to characterize 181 metabolites, including 80% of new compounds, and the structural determination of seven potential new mycotoxins. Penicillium verrucosum (NRRL 5571) and Penicillium nordicum (NRRL 6062) were grown on wheat grains (Triticum aestivum) presenting different isotopic enrichments: (i) naturally enriched grains, (ii) 97% 13C, and (iii) 53% 13C / 97% 15N. Extracts of each culture were analyzed by HPLC coupled to a LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization, operating in the positive or the negative mode. Metabolites were then specifically detected according to the specific isotopic pattern of their respective isotopic enrichments. Known secondary metabolites were annotated using the Antibase database, then identified by comparison with standard compounds when available. Unknown secondary metabolites were annotated using molecular networks of MS/MS similarities (Watrous J. et al.; PNAS (2012) 109 E1743). Wheat grains representing the only source of carbon and nitrogen for fungal growth, the produced fungal secondary metabolites were either unlabeled (naturally enriched cultures), singly labeled (13C cultures) or doubly labeled (13C/15N cultures). This feature allowed discrimination of fungal metabolites against non-fungal compounds which remained unlabeled in the three substrates. Fungal origin was further confirmed by analysis of a control 12C wheat extract (without fungus). Furthermore, the comparison of m/z ratios of a same metabolite detected in the three different cultures, led to the unambiguous determination of the number of carbon and nitrogen atoms and therefore to the unambiguous characterization of its chemical formula. This approach previously developed and validated on a well characterized fungus, has been here successfully applied to the characterization of the complex and unknown secondary metabolomes of P. verrucosum and P. nordicum. Analyses of the two studied fungal strains allowed the detection of 181 secondary metabolites. Interestingly, only 20% of them are suspected to match known metabolites according to databases, meaning that 80% of this metabolome is unknown. To enhance unknown identification efficiency, a molecular network of MS/MS similarities has been generated from our data. A group of 24 metabolites with highly similar MS/MS spectra was highlighted on P. nordicum and P. verrucosum. Fifteen of them were identified as cyclic tetrapeptides from the fungisporin family. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments were performed to characterize the structure of these secondary metabolites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time these molecules are pointed out on these Penicillium species. More interestingly, seven of the other metabolites display some similarities with fungisporins, but have never been detected on fungal metabolomes. Furthermore, although the two studied strains are genetically close, these new metabolites seem to be strain specific

Full textResearch on rootstock/scion interactions in grapevine in relation to the environment persisted for several decades, but the physiological mechanisms determining the rootstock effect on scion vigour are still misunderstood. This lack of knowledge hampers the development of existing rootstocks to control the vigor and productivity, or research new rootstock genotypes better adapted to future conditions of production. The objective of this work is to understand by an integrative biology approach coupling experimentation and modeling how the rootstock interacts specifically with the scion (and vice versa) to change in the early stages of grafting , the physiological characteristics of the whole plant to coordinate the development and growth of the aerial parts with the root parties. Nitrogen is considered a key element in the control of the growth and the biomass allocation within a plant, and a particular emphasis is placed on the role of nitrogen nutrition in the nutritional control of the grafted grapevine growth. Experimental work was conducted in a greenhouse to characterize by isotopic labeling nitrogen (15N) and carbon flow within the whole plant for two rootstock/scion combinations at vegetative stage : one giving a strong vigour (CS/1103P), the other a low vigour (CS / RGM), in response to a change in the external nitrate availability. This study on the coupling between acquisition functions and use of nitrogenous and carbonaceous resources was completed by a dynamic phenotyping aerial growth, the distribution of biomass between the organs and the biochemical and mineral composition of the principal organs of plant. We were able to understand the communication signals between the aerial part and the root part of grafted vines, which led to the development of a simplified conceptual model of the functioning of the grafted vines. A first version of a mechanistic model based on a source-sink formalism taking into account the acquisition and allocation of C and N in both aerial and root compartments and their plasticity to the availability of exogenous and endogenous resource was developed

Full textThis PhD thesis is included in a European project, Eulafuel, aiming to use latex triterpenes of caper spurge (Euphorbia lathyris) as a biofuel source. Our investigation focuses on the biosynthetic origin of isoprene units. Are they produced via mevalonate (MVA) pathway and/or methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway? First, we proposed a procedure to cultivate E. lathyris in axenic conditions, and we compared triterpenic profiles from plants grown in different conditions. Then, we showed, by incorporating 13C- and 2H-labeled precursors, that E. lathyris isoprenoids were produced via MVA pathway. The second part of this work is based on an isotopic analysis of plant isoprenoids by GC-iRMS, an interesting alternative to labeling experiments. We compared isotopic signatures (δD and δ13C) of lipids arising from eight phototrophic organisms and we proposed several hypothesis to explain the isotopic fractionation differences we observed

Full textIsotopic labeling with deuterium and tritium is extensively used in chemistry, biology and pharmaceutical research.Numerous methods of labeling by isotopic exchange allow high isotopic enrichments but generally require harsh conditions (high temperatures, acidity). As a consequence, a general, regioselective and smooth labeling method that might be applicable to a wide diversity of substrates remains to develop. In the first part of this thesis, we demonstrated that the use of ruthenium nanoparticles, synthesized by Pr. Bruno Chaudret’s team (INSA Toulouse), allowed the mild (2 bar of deuterium gas at 55°C), effective and selective H/D exchange reaction of a large variety of nitrogen-containing compounds, such as pyridines, indoles and primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl amines. The usefulness and the efficiency of this novel methodology was demonstrated by the deuteration of eight nitrogen-containing molecules of biological interest without altering their chemical and stereochemical properties. However, the conservation of the original stereochemistry of an activated chiral C-H center remains a major issue. We studied the reactivity of RuNP@PVP on different categories of nitrogen-containing substrates (amines, aminoacids and peptides) in water or in organic solvents. Our results showed that C-H activation of chiral carbons C(sp3) took place efficiently, selectively and, in all cases, with total retention of configuration. The wide range of applications of this procedure was demonstrated by the labeling of three chiral amines, fourteen aminoacids, three aromatic aminoesters and four peptides. Moreover, our collaboration with Pr. Romuald Poteau’s team (INSA Toulouse) led to the identification of two mechanisms by ab initio simulation in agreement with our experimental results: the σ-bond metathesis mechanism and the oxidative addition mechanism. These two mechanisms imply two vicinal ruthenium atoms leading to the formation an original dimetallacycle key-intermediate with four centers.The second part of this thesis deals with the development of a new method for the determination of the conformation and the relative arrangement of auto-assembled small molecules. It is based on the synergy between labeling chemistry, tritium solid-state NMR and molecular modeling. We focused on the diphenylalanine dipeptide (Phe-Phe) which forms either crystals or self-assembled nanotubes depending on the solvent. If the crystalline atomic structure of Phe-Phe has been solved, the structure of the self-assembled nanotubes of Phe-Phe is still unknown. Three Phe-Phe dipeptides ditritiated on aromatic positions, determined with the help of molecular modeling by Dr. Yves Boulard (CEA Saclay), were synthesized. Tritium solid-state NMR allowed Dr. Thibault Charpentier (CEA Saclay) to measure, on crystallized samples, three inter-tritiums distances very close to the reference distances. This technique also revealed a possible orientational disorder on an aromatic cycle of crystallized Phe-Phe. Ab initio modeling led us to set a double labeling Caryl and Cα on Phe-Phe with ruthenium nanoparticles. Deuteration with RuNP@PVP are very promising and supplementary studies are in progress to perform tritium labeling. We expect to set a new tool of structural study to determine atomic structures of small molecules integrated in supramolecular complexes (nanotubes, amyloid peptides or membranes)

Full textMetabolomics is a relatively new science that studies molecules with a molecular weight below 1.5 kDa, present in a given biological matrix. It is the last link in the "omics" sciences and represents the ultimate response of an organism to factors that disrupt its functioning. Today, many developments in high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography (LC/HRMS) aim at improving the detection, identification and quantification of metabolites but also at increasing the robustness of the analyses. This PhD thesis took place in that context. One of its main objectives was to develop methods allowing the simultaneous acquisition of MS and MS/MS spectra via analyses in "Data Dependent Acquisition" and "Data Independent Acquisition" modes. These methods allowed the production of data with the same sensitivity as the traditional "Full Scan" analysis while providing more precise and relevant information for further metabolite identification. These methodological developments were applied to an inter-laboratory study as part of a European project. The other major objective of this PhD was to set-up strategies for the large-scale quantification of metabolites in biological samples. To do so, the production and characterization of isotopically labeled internal standards were investigated. Thus, chemical synthesis methods relying on H/D exchange was evaluated and enabled the production of a large panel of labeled compounds. Their isotopic pattern exploitation allowed the development of an innovative quantitative approach by multi-point internal calibration. This method was compared to the conventional isotope dilution approach. At last, isotope profiling was applied to the preliminary analysis of mouse urine samples obtained from mice that were in vivo labeled with carbone-13. The aims were to study the C-13 incorporation kinetics in targeted metabolites, but also to annotate and identify new metabolites. Overall, the set of developments carried out during this thesis have allowed to reach a better level of identification of metabolites and to improve their quantification

Full textDeuterated compounds are molecules of great interest in various fields. In pharmacology, the H/D exchange can improve the pharmacokinetic properties of some drugs or reduce their toxicity. In addition, deuterium-labelled compounds can be used as internal standards for mass spectroscopy, or as tracers for the understanding of different reaction mechanisms. Therefore, it is important to find a way to exchange hydrogen with deuterium in a simple, selective and efficient way. The main goal of the PhD project is the synthesis of novel nanoparticles for isotopic exchange (H/D). Metal nanoparticles and more particularly ruthenium nanoparticles, has shown their efficiency to catalyze this exchange. However, ruthenium nanoparticles are very active in arene hydrogenation, and often lead to the reduction of aromatic substrates. In a second part of the work, we synthesized Ru-Pt alloys in an attempt to passivate the Ru surface with platinum, which is less-active in H/D exchange. We have shown that by changing the platinum precursor, we can change the atomic distribution of the surface, and thus we were able to modulate the reactivity of nanoparticles. We finally synthesized Ni and Ir nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have proven to be efficient catalysts for H/D exchange, without reducing aromatic functions. In addition, different selectivity was obtained depending on the metal used

Full textOrgano-mineral associations play a key role in the long-term sequestration of organic matter in forest soils. However, knowledge about the contribution of the different types of organo-mineral associations and the microbial processes involved in soil organic matter stabilisation is scant. To solve it, stable isotope techniques have been combined with the sequential density fractionation of organo-mineral associations. Isolated fractions were investigated in field and in lab, at different temporal (from 8 hours to 12 years) and spatial scales (macro-, submicron- and molecular scales).Four types of organo-mineral associations were distinguished: plant debris with little mineral attached, plant aggregates, microbial aggregates and mineral grains. Isotopically labeled beech leaf litters were tracked at a decadal time-scale to reveal transfers in between organo-mineral associations. Both litter-derived carbon and nitrogen entered the soil as plant fragments to progressively pass through plant and microbial aggregates. Aggregates appeared particularly meaningful for the stabilisation of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen at a decadal time-scale. Little of the litter-derived carbon and nitrogen was found quickly stabilized to mineral grains. Microbial activities appeared as a major controlling factor for the evolvement of organo-mineral associations, responsive for the transfers of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen. Indeed, plant debris colonized by microorganisms are progressively trapped into plant aggregates. As decomposition proceeds, plant aggregates disrupt into denser microbial aggregates. These aggregates are loaded with lesser organic matter, but enriched in stable microbial materials.Stabilisation by soil microorganisms has been studied at the macro-, submicronand molecular- scales, using mostly NanoSIMS and LC-IRMS. Microbial stabilization operated (i) directly through immobilization in microbial cells and, (ii) indirectly through large production of extracellular microbial products. By calibrating the NanoSIMS for accurate C/N ratios, extracellular microbial products have been shown to be stabilized onto organo-mineral associations without apparent control of the mineral-attached organic matter chemistry. The incorporation of 13C tracers into amino sugars, biomarkers of bacterial and fungal biomasses, revealed that living microorganisms grow where the resource is, but accumulate in microbial aggregates. Microbial biomasses moved from plant debris to microbial aggregates, likely along with the transfers of decaying litter residues as described above.This work points aggregates as meaningful organo-mineral associations for the sequestration of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen at the decadal time-scale. It also revealed the role of microorganisms in the transfers and stabilization of litterderived carbon and nitrogen within organo-mineral associations

Full textThis PhD thesis deals with the development of new efficient methods for the incorporation of hydrogen isotopes into organic molecules, which represents a serious issue especially for drug discovery and drug development processes. After giving an introduction about hydrogen isotopes and their applications in organic molecules, the course will proceed to an overview of different chemical transformations for establishing deuterium or tritium labels on molecular frameworks. The possibilities to label N-heterocycles by hydrogen isotopes through hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) are still very restricted and even impossible for some representatives despite the strong recurrence of these substructures in numerous biologically active molecules. For this reason, the emphasis of the practical part will lie on the development of new methods for the incorporation of deuterium and tritium on N-heterocycles through metal nanoparticle catalysis. In the first chapter, HIE through ruthenium nanocatalysts will be optimized and the application range will be demonstrated. In this context, DFT-based calculations allowed to explain experimental regioselectivities and to identify new keyintermediates. In terms of application, it was shown that the ruthenium-catalyzed method is useful for the synthesis of deuterium labelled internal standards for LC-MS quantifications and for the tritiation of complex molecules displaying satisfying specific activities. In the next chapter, the synthesis of new nickel nanoparticles and their potential to catalyze selective HIE on N-heterocyclic derivatives will be discussed

Full textGliomas are brain tumors associated with important mortality. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent of primary brain tumors. Despite an optimal therapeutic management consists that includes surgery, radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy, the median survival is 15 months. This, is mainly due to the presence of infiltrative tumor cells that hamper total surgical excision, and leads to relapse with the emergence of drug resistance. This highlights the importance of seeking new therapeutic strategies.Of these, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are very promising. Their targeted actions limit the toxicity to healthy tissue. However, these new therapies are desperately short of monitoring. The appearance of serious side effects is a present challenge to their use. In consequences, these targeted therapies, even effective, have to be controlled via companion’s biomarkers that would provide better monitoring of the molecule. Bevacizumab is a good illustration for the existence of interindividual pharmacokinetic variability (11 to 50 days). In addition to its effect on the therapy efficiency, this inte variability must be also considered for side effects (phlebitis, hemorrhage) that lead to failure of treatment. However, these side effects could be limited by a simple monitoring of serum concentration of bevacizumab.Moreover, in the specific case of GBM, the action to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) requires the development of new strategies to promote a better bio-distribution of molecules in the brain tumor. Therefore, we investigated the effectiveness of a mechanical bypass of BBB in experimental brain tumors by a localized administration directly in the tumor. In this preclinical study, a significant improvement in median survival of animals treated with convection-enhanced delivery (CED) versus intraperitoneal administration was demonstrated.Finally, in order to offer an innovative technique of companion’s biomarkers screening, we have implemented an isotope labeling in vivo in order to study the dynamics of the proteome in tumor response to treatment. This strategy has already been released and is being transferred in humans in the study of the metabolism of GBM

Full textNuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) provides valuable structural and dynamic information at the atomic scale, however, the low sensitivity and resolution of signals rapidly preclude investigations of larger molecular objects. We present three isotopic labeling strategies for different protein-solution NMR experiments and demonstrate their potential for the structural study of biomolecules in solution. Among the strategies considered, two are based on the use of in vitro protein expression to obtain selectively labeled proteins of a certain chemical group and/or amino acid in a perdeuterated environment. Perdeuteration is essential for the optimal use of Transverse Relaxation Optimized Spectroscopy pulse sequences. They allowed significant spectral gains when samples were specifically labeled on amide groups or on the methylene of glycines while maintaining a very high rate of deuteration on the other chemical functions of the proteins. The third protein labeling strategy employed is based on in vivo protocols but used in innovative NMR applications: a technique of hyperpolarization of nuclei in solution which increases their sensitivity by several orders of magnitude. The lifetime of this hyperpolarization is governed by the longitudinal relaxation time of nuclei, which are reduced for proteins at room temperature. By isolating the nuclei of interest in a perdeuterated environment, dipolar interactions created by neighboring protons were eliminated and hyperpolarized nuclei relaxed much more slowly. Hyperpolarization of a small protein domain was successfully undertaken at 1K but the dissolution conditions need to be improved in order to preserve a homogeneous aqueous phase

Full textSolution NMR spectroscopy has been limited to small biological objects for a long time. Nowadays, it is unequivocally recognized that the strategy of specific isotope labeling of methyl groups in a perdeuterated protein has significantly extended the frontier of this technique. Indeed, proteins as large as 1 MDa could be investigated by NMR. Conversely, this strategy presents an important drawback consisting of the drastically reduced number of protonated probes. The project of this thesis falls within the framework of developing new methodologies to cope with this scarce structural information, relying on the simultaneous labeling of several methyl groups to increase the number of probes. For optimized combinatorial labeling, the choice of the ensemble of amino acids to label simultaneously and the precursors as well as the protocol for their incorporation have to be carefully studied. In this work, a new protocol was introduced for the scrambling-free and optimized isotopic labeling of AbId1(LV)proS methyl groups. In comparison to the “standard AbId1LV” labeling scheme, the proposed pattern induces a 2-fold decrease of number of Leu and Val NMR signals and enhances the intensity of detectable long-range nOes by a factor 4. The described protocol also permits the suppression of spurious correlations, especially harmful for structural studies based on detection/analysis of nOes. To make an efficient use of the obtained high quality NMR spectra using this protocol, assignment of the methyl groups signals is mandatory. Two strategies were then proposed. The first is suitable for systems whose molecular weight does not exceed 100 kDa. It relies on the use of isotopically linearized precursors (with different isotope topologies to discriminate each methyl group) to assign in a regio- and stereo-specific manner the isoleucine, leucine and valine methyl groups in a single step, employing an optimized “out and back” 13C-TOCSY pulse sequence. While the second, adapted to supra-molecular proteins (> 100 kDa), consists of optimizing the previously reported SeSAM approach (Sequence-Specific Assignment of Methyl groups by Mutagenesis). Indeed, thanks to the developed enriched culture medium for the specific labeling of Ala, the minimal required culture volume was significantly decreased, enabling the proteins expression in 24 well plates and their parallel purification in 96 well plates. This improved SeSAM version was estimated to allow the assignment of ca. 100 methyl cross-peaks in 2 weeks, including 4 days of NMR time and less than 2 k€ of isotopic materials. To illustrate the pertinence of using selectively protonated methyl groups, either in a single or combined fashion, several applications were presented, namely the real-time NMR study of self-assembly process of a ~0.5 MDa supra-molecular protein (PhTET-2). The use of combinatorial labeling for the detection of long-range nOes to up to 10 Å (8 Å) in proteins of 82 kDa (respectively 0.5 MDa) was also investigated. This same approach was exploited for the filtering of inter-monomeric long-range nOes in the same symmetrical and homo-oligomeric PhTET-2 protein

Full textOilseed rape is a very demanding oleaginous crop for nitrogen inputs associated with a low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The main challenge to improve the agri-environmental balance of oilseed rape is to optimize the NUE, especially under nitrogen deprivation. The NUE is limited by a low nitrogen remobilization efficiency (NRE) during leaf senescence. The aim of this thesis was to define the metabolome topology and orientation associated with NRE during leaf senescence in oilseed rape.The results show that leaf metabolome dynamically evolves throughout their vegetative growth, until their fall. Metabolome was found specific to each leaf rank, reflecting the trophic and environmental relationships related to the leaf positioning in the canopy. These specificities are associated with variations in carbohydrates, amino acids, glucosinolates and coumarins contents in close connection with the phytohormonal regulation of leaf development and with their translocation in the phloem.In particular, the activation of Proline circadian-controlled catabolism in senescent tissues was demonstrated. Finally, significant variations in the degradation and transport of proteins, carbohydrates and amino acids between two highly efficient NRE genotypes were highlighted using a combined transcriptomic and metabolomic approach. Similarly, a close relationship has been described between the genes expression levels and the metabolic content involved to increase NRE under low nitrogen input.The results are discussed regarding nitrogen remobilization improvement and more generally nutrients i

Full textIn the light, the RuBisCO carboxylase activity assimilates inorganic CO2 into organic compounds, via the production of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) that is used for the biosynthesis of sugars, organic and amino acids, plant cell walls etc. However, it also has an oxygenase activity that makes 3-PGA and 2-phosphoglycolate (2-PG). The toxic 2-PG is metabolized to 3-PGA by the photorespiratory cycle, which takes place in chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria. Despite a partial loss of carbon and nitrogen, the importance of photorespiration for growth can be seen by the negative phenotypes exhibited by photorespiratory enzyme mutants in air (i.e. slow growth, leaf chlorosis, and sometimes lethality), which are not observed under high CO2 conditions. This may reflect the metabolic interactions between photorespiration and plant primary metabolism. To better understand such interactions and the development of photorespiratory phenotypes, mutants for glycolate oxidase (GOX) and glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase have been characterized by several complementary methods: analysis of gas exchanges, chlorophyll fluorescence,13C-labeling of metabolites, measurements of metabolites, cofactors and RuBisCO levels. The results show that, after a high CO2-to-air transfer, the inhibition of photosynthesis in the mutants is mainly due to a defect in photorespiratory carbon recycling leading to a decreased RuBisCO activity. The inhibition of carbon assimilation negatively impacts mutant leaf RuBisCO content when compared to wild-type plants. In the mutants, when photosynthetic inhibition is too high, the resulting carbon starvation triggers the onset of senescence in their old leaves. In parallel to this work, a comparison of the kinetic parameters of GOX from A. thaliana (C3 plant) and Z. mays (C4 plant) coupled to measurements of 13C and 2H kinetic isotopic effects showed that these enzymes share similar Michaelian parameters for glycolate, and a similar hydride transfer reaction mechanism

Full textSymbiotic N fixation of legumes is very sensitive to environmental stresses, like pea pests damaging nodulated roots. However, the impact on their N uptake capacity and plant growth has not been studied so far.We analyzed the adaptive response symbiotic N2 fixation and plant growth of pea wild type Frisson and hypernodulating mutants P64, P118 and P121 mutated respectively on genes SYM28, SYM29 and NOD3 to root pruning of half the root system at the end of the vegetative stage. The adaptive responses of pea: cv. Frisson and 3 of its hypernodulating mutants were compared under varying carbon supplies from photosynthesis.At 380 ppm, mutant P118 showed the lowest decrease of the specific activity of N fixation (-17%) following root pruning compared to the wild type and the 2 others mutants (-36% to -62%), associated to an acceleration (P118 and P121) and a maintained (wild type and P64) nodule growth. At 150 ppm, following root pruning, specific activity of N fixation of nodules decreased in wild type, was maintained in P64 and P118 and increased in P121. At 750 ppm, specific activity of N fixation of nodules decreased for all genotypes following root pruning, associated to a maintained nodule growth in wild type and P118, a slower growth in P64 and acceleration in P121.Our results showed a greater capacity of hypernodulating mutants P118 and P121 to withstand the stress induced by root pruning of half the root system

Full textWith the advent of nanotechnology, the exposure of humans to nanomaterials increased, representing a risk of a new kind. Although the potential toxicity of such nanomaterials is extensively studied, their long term fate, biotransformation and degradation in the organism are still poorly understood. It was demonstrated earlier in the laboratory, that after intravenous injection, iron oxide nanoparticles undergo local intracellular degradation within lysosomes. In this context, we are interested in the fate of by products from iron oxide nanoparticles. Part of my thesis has focused on a possible pathway for metabolizing these degradation products through a protein involved in iron metabolism, the ferritin. We first studied, in solution, the degradation processes of iron oxide nanoparticles in the presence of these proteins as well as the iron transfer processes from nanoparticles to ferritin. The difficulty is the high concentration of endogenous iron which makes impossible to demonstrate these in vivo transfers. Thus, we have developed a strategy, using doped iron oxide nanoparticles with a scarce element in the organism, to track these phenomena in vivo. This work highlighted a possible mechanism of biological recycling, remediation and detoxification of nanoparticles mediated by endogenous proteins at the molecular scale. A second part of my work was devoted to develop a multi-scale method to study the life cycle of metal oxide nanoparticles and their by products in organism. The main challenge is to differentiate iron stemming from the nanoparticles from the endogenous iron. This specific tracking problem is routinely encountered in geochemical studies and solved by labelling the target material with minor stable isotopes. Therefore, iron oxide nanoparticles enriched in the minor stable isotope 57Fe were synthetized and injected intravenously in mice to follow dynamic circulations of iron oxide nanoparticles and their byproducts. We have also labelled the coating to track the nanoparticles integrity in mice over a period of six month

Full textHyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance imaging (13C-MRI) is a promising emerging tool to follow the metabolic routes in vivo in view of early stage detection of cancer. Optimization of the sensitivity of the MRI measurement requires injection of carbon-13 or deuterium labelled endogenous molecules. In this context, sodium L-[1-13C,U-D] lactate was individuated as a promising probe for the detection and prediction of treatment-response in patients with prostate cancer. We realized the first chemical synthesis of such probe starting from L-[1-13C] alanine by developing two distinct strategies for the selective deuteration of the position C2 and C3. The method of C2 deuteration relies on the technique of the metal-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange and can be applied to the synthesis of several deuterated amino-acids to an industrial-scale. The method of C3 deuteration was realised by Pd(OAc)2 catalyzed C-H activation. It provides a unique route to obtain amino-acids selectively deuterated in position C3. We also developed a robust route for the 13C labelling of the C1 position of L-alanine from acetaldehyde and K13CN by a modification of the Strecker’s synthesis. By using deuterated acetaldehyde, a scalable synthesis of L-[1-13C,U-D] lactate could now be possible

Full textBiomass from short rotation coppice (SRC) plantations may help reducing fossil fuel consumption. The development of mixed-species plantations, introducing a nitrogen-fixing species could be a solution to reduce the risk of fertility decline in SRC. Nevertheless, the success or failure of the mixture will depend on the competition and complementarity processes, for light and soil resources (water and nutrients), between both species. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of a mixture of poplar and black locust, on growth, biomass production and nitrogen uptake in the plantation. Instrumented monocultures and mixed plantations of both species have been studied during four years. Repeated above-and belowground biomass estimations associated with tree dimension monitoring have shown that the presence of black locust affected neither growth, nor biomass production and allocation of poplar trees both at tree and plot level. On the other hand, the black locusts trees suffered from interspecific competition: high mortality, decrease in growth and biomass production. Moreover, an isotopic approach (15N) coupled with mineralomass analyses allowed to highlight that nitrogen concentration in black locust trees in the mixture was lower than in the monoculture due to a reduction of the percentage of nitrogen derived from atmospheric fixation. The total nitrogen contents were close in the mixture and in the monocultures of each species. No advantage of the mixture was found during the study period because of inappropriate pedoclimatic conditions (especially for the black locust) and incompatibility between both species on this site

Full textThe growing number of therapeutic proteins has created needs in the field of their quantification, mainly in plasma, which is a complex protein environment. Quantitative analysis of these proteins is essential for pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics studies, and for the optimization of treatments. However, the nature itself of the analyte and the low concentrations that are expected in plasma complicate the quantitative analysis. The proposed methodology differs from usual methods on its universal applicability. It relies on mass spectrometry adapted to the quantification of proteins by using peptides differential isotope labelling : after enrichment and proteolysis, the therapeutic protein and the plasmatic proteins are labelled on lysine residues by the light reagent. In parallel, peptides of the pure therapeutic protein, labelled by heavy version of reagent, are used as internal standard. The ability to quantify the protein with several of its peptides improves the reliability of the analysis. When applied to epoetin beta at expected therapeutic concentrations (about 0.5 femtomole/µL of plasma), the proposed strategy leads to a quantification limit close to 50 attomoles of epoetin beta/µL plasma, with a nano-LC-ESI-Q-TRAP mass spectrometry methodology operating in MRM. To extend the universal character of this approach to the field of pegylated protein drugs, a second therapeutic protein model has been studied. This model is a pegylated interferon alfa-2b which allowed developing a strategy for specific extraction of the drug relying on its pegylation

Full textSelenium (Se) is an essential trace element, which is incorporated as a rare aminoacid, selenocysteine, in twenty five selenoproteins, to constitute the selenoproteome. Selenoprotein family is one of the most important bioactive form of selenium in human health. Initially demonstrated in Kashin Beck and Keshan diseases, selenium deficiency is associated with several pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, immune and muscular disorders. Chronic selenium deficiency is hypothesized to decrease antioxidant defenses and redox regulatory pathways through a dysregulation of selenoprotein expression. We are interested in understanding the synthesis and regulation of human selenoproteins, which is critically dependent on the availability of adequate analytical methodology. To understand the function and regulation of human selenoproteome, which is expressed at a trace levels, it appears critical to develop innovative strategies based on a multidisciplinary approach to detect and quantify selenium by various elemental and molecular mass spectrometer tools. First, selenium has a particular isotopic profile with six stable isotope (74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, 80Se and 82Se) used as a signature in our analysis with ICP-MS or ESI-MS/MS. In parallel, the use of isotopically enriched selenium also allows cellular labelling and tracing of selenoproteins and other seleno-coupounds. By coupling liquid phase separation methods (HPLC) with specific mass spectrometry analytical tools, we have developed several methods for detecting several selenoproteins simultaneously in various human cell lines

Full textWe analyzed the coupled dynamics of C and N in Soil Organic Matter (SOM) through the dynamics of N-containing soil organic compounds (amino acids (AAs)) by tracing their carbon atoms. Stable isotope ratios of individual amino acids were measured by gas chromatography coupled with isotope ratio mass spectrometry. For this purpose, we developed a generic calibration method for compound-specific stable isotope ratio analysis, based on the analysis of uniformly labelled microbial cultures. We quantified the biosynthesis of AAs associated with the biodegradation process in four contrasted topsoils through short-term incubation experiments of 13C-labelled substrates. Amino acids-C accounts for ca. 25% of the newly-formed microbial biomass-C. The composition of the de novo biosynthesized individual amino acids was dependent on the soil type, and in each soil was similar to that of SOM amino acids. Biodegradation of 13C-labelled plant materials revealed the rapid conversion of plant proteins into microbial materials. These results together demonstrate that SOM amino acids are of microbial origin. We measured the dynamics of amino acids-C on the long term (decades to centuries) in nine sites using the natural 13C-labelling technique. On average, the age of AAs was equal or slightly inferior to that of bulk soil organic carbon, with mean ages ranging from 50 to 200 years. We built a conceptual model of AAs dynamics to discuss various hypotheses of AAs stabilization. Beyond these perspectives on C and N coupling in soil processes, the overall study brings a broad dataset of amino acids, as well as discuses variations of 13C natural abundance (δ13C) in-between individual amino acids

Full textInternal parts of pressurized water reactor (PWR) vessels are often made of austenitic stainless steels (304L and 316L). These structural materials are exposed to an oxidizing medium under irradiation and mechanical stresses. Under these conditions, they can suffer damages by IASCC (Irradiation-Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking). The first step in this cracking phenomenon is the initiation, which implies the breakdown of the passive layer. The nature and the structure of the oxide film formed on these steels are key factors in initiation of IASCC cracks. In this context, the objective of this work is first to better understand the oxidation mechanisms of stainless steels in primary medium and second to study the effects of irradiation induced defects on the oxide film formed on stainless steels in primary medium. Xenon ions and protons, were implanted in 316L-type austenitic stainless steel samples, respectively at an energy of 240 and 230 keV in order to simulate the irradiation defects. Implanted and non-implanted samples were exposed in a corrosion loop at 325°C to an aqueous medium containing 1000 ppm of boron, 2 ppm of lithium and 1,19.10-3 mol.L-1 of dissolved hydrogen. The samples were analyzed by TEM before and after exposure to primary medium in order to characterize both the defects generated by the implantation and the nature, structure, and morphology of the formed oxide. Comparing implanted and non-implanted samples has shown that the nature and the density of defects in the alloy subsurface played an important role on the composition (mainly on the content of Cr and Mo) and on the thickness of the inner layer. The study of the oxidation kinetics by coupling two ion beam analysis techniques (NRA and RBS) has revealed different behavior between the two types of samples: non-implanted and implanted. Tracer experiments (using D and 18O) were conducted to study the growth mechanism of the inner oxide layer and the associated transport mechanisms. The study of the oxygen and hydrogen transport through the inner layer and the underlying alloy, by SIMS and GD-OES, has resulted in writing a corrosion mechanism for austenitic stainless steels exposed to primary medium and linking this mechanism to hydrogen absorption in the alloy. Furthermore, the impact of implantation defects on these transport phenomena has been studied, highlighting the role of defects on oxide layer properties generating modification of the oxygen transport in the oxide scale. These results have helped to shed some light on the mechanism and kinetics involved in the formation of the oxide layer and on the hydrogen absorption in austenitic stainless steels exposed to primary medium and to point out the effect of implantation defects on the oxidation processes

Full textUnderstanding the function of proteins and biological systems requires an accurate knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance provide a detailed description of these mechanisms, with an atomic resolution, by providing data on both structures and motions. We investigated two proteins, the lip2 lipase from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and the membrane protein OmpA from the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae. We tried to produce lip2 with uniform and amino-acid specific stable isotope labelling on its functional loop (the lid) for NMR experiments. The homologous recombinant expression in Yarrowia lipolytica turned out to be the most efficient for uniform labelling but failed for specific labelling due to extensive isotope scrambling. We solved the structure of OmpA C-terminal domain by X-ray crystallography, and analyzed its dynamics in solution by NMR (15N relaxation techniques). We characterized its transmembrane N-terminal domain in proteoliposomes by solid state NMR: using state of the art ultra-fast MAS (60 kHz), 1H detection and a 1 GHz spectrometer, we could assign most ?-barrel resonances and establish a NH order parameter profile. In a complementary approach, we used proteolysis to reveal a unique trypsin cleavage site on the extracellular loop 3. Finally, a first characterization of the full-length protein expressed in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli was initiated by solid state NMR on intact outer membranes

Full textThe tridimensional structure of a given RNA molecule is closely linked to its cellular function. For this reason, it is crucial to study the structure of RNA molecules, such as riboswitches, to characterize their mechanism of action. To do so, NMR spectroscopy is often used to gather structural data on RNA molecules in solution. However, this approach is limited by two main difficulties. First, the production of preparative quantities of natively folded and purified RNA molecules is a long and tedious process. To facilitate this step, our laboratory has developed an RNA-affinity purification method using an ARiBo tag. The second limiting step comes from the extensive signal overlap detected on NMR spectra of large RNA molecules. This overlap is proportional to the length of the RNA, which often prevents high-resolution structure determination of RNAs larger than 15 kDa. To solve this problem, specific isotopic labeling of RNAs can now be achieved. However, existing labeling protocols are expensive, require several weeks of laboratory manipulations and usually provide relatively low yields. This thesis provides an alternative strategy to achieve specific isotopic labeling of RNA molecules, based on the ARiBo tag affinity purification technique. The protocol includes the separation and the purification of isotopically labeled nucleotides, an enzymatic ligation step performed on a solid support and the affinity purification of the RNA of interest, without any sequence restriction. This new strategy is a fast and efficient way to label functional RNAs isotopically and should facilitate NMR structure determination of large RNAs.

Full textStaphylococcal enterotoxin B is a highly heat-resistant enteric toxin and it is responsible for over 50% of enterotoxin food poisoning. It represents a particular challenge during food processing since, even if the bacteria have been destroyed, the biological activity of the toxin remains unchanged. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a new method based on a novel proteomic strategy to detect and quantify SEB in food matrices. Tryptic peptide map was generated and 3 specific tryptic peptides were selected and used as surrogate peptides from 9 identified proteolytic fragments (sequence coverage of 35%). Peptides were label with light and heavy form of acetic anhydride to create an isobaric tag that will allow quantification. The linearity was tested using mixtures of different molar ratios and the results showed that measurements by LC-MS/MS were within generally accepted criteria for bioassays with slope values near to 1, values of R2 above 0.98 and less than 8% coefficient of variation (%CV). The precision and accuracy of the method were assessed using chicken meat homogenate samples spiked with SEB at 0.2, 1 and 2 pmol/g. The results indicated that the method can provide accuracy within 84.9 – 91.1% range. Overall, the results presented in this thesis show that proteomics-based methods can be effectively used to detect, confirm and quantify SEB in food matrices.
