Thiol Oxidase

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) triggers the global shutdown of host silkworm gene expression and protein synthesis approximately 12–18 h post-infection. Genome sequence analysis suggests that BmNPV ORF75 could be a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-linked thiol oxidase essential for virion assembly and virus propagation. Here, we report the crystal structure of BmNPV ORF75 at 2.1 Å (0.21 nm). The structure of BmNPV ORF75 resembles that of the thiol oxidase domain of human quiescin thiol oxidase (QSOX), displaying a pseudo-dimer of canonical and non-canonical thiol oxidase domains. However, BmNPV ORF75 is further dimerized by its C-terminal canonical thiol oxidase domain. Within the unique quaternary structural arrangement, the FAD-binding pocket and the characteristic CXXC motif from each monomer is 35 Å (3.5 nm) away from that of its corresponding molecule, which suggests that BmNPV ORF75 might adopt a deviant mechanism from that of QSOX to catalyse disulfide bond formation. Our thiol oxidase activity assay on the point mutations of the conserved residues participating in FAD recognition reveals an aromatic cage next to the FAD isoalloxazine moiety for substrate binding. These data suggest that the thiol oxidase activity of BmNPV ORF75 could be critical to catalyse the formation of the disulfide bonds of certain BmNPV proteins essential for BmNPV virion assembly.

Dermal Glands

Dermal glands are epidermal derivatives which are reported to secrete either the cement layer, which is the outermost layer of the epicuticle or some component of the moulting fluid which digests the endocuticle. The secretions do not show well-defined staining reactions and therefore they have not been positively identified. This has contributed to another difficulty, namely, that of determining the time of secretory activity. This description of the fine structure of the developing glands in Rhodnius was undertaken to determine the time of activity, with a view to investigating their function.

Amine Oxidase Activity

The synthesis of a new substrate, p-N,N-dimethylamino-β-phenethylamine (DAPA)3 (Fig. 1) (1,2), and the testing of it as a possible substrate for tissue amine oxidase activity have resulted in the ultracytochemical localization of enzyme oxidase activity referred to as DAPA oxidase (DAPAO). DAPA was designed with the goal of providing an amine that would yield on oxidation a stronger reducing aldehyde than does tryptamine in the histochemical demonstration of monoamine oxidase (MAO) with tetrazolium salts.Ultracytochemical preparations of guinea pig heart, liver and kidney and rat heart and liver were studied. Guinea pig kidney, known to exhibit high levels of MAO, appeared the most reactive of the tissues studied. DAPAO reaction product appears primarily in mitochondrial outer compartments and cristae (Figs. 2-4). Reaction product is also localized in endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasmic vacuoles and nuclear envelopes (Figs. 2 and 3) and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of heart.
