The structural origin of metabolic quantitative diversity

چکیده
Relationship between structural variants of enzymes and metabolic phenotypes in human population was investigated based on the association study of metabolite quantitative traits with whole genome sequence data for 512 individuals from a population cohort. We identified five significant associations between metabolites and non-synonymous variants. Four of these non-synonymous variants are located in enzymes involved in metabolic disorders, and structural analyses of these moderate non-synonymous variants demonstrate that they are located in peripheral regions of the catalytic sites or related regulatory domains. In contrast, two individuals with larger changes of metabolite levels were also identified, and these individuals retained rare variants, which caused non-synonymous variants located near the catalytic site. These results are the first demonstrations that variant frequency, structural location, and effect for phenotype correlate with each other in human population, and imply that metabolic individuality and susceptibility for diseases may be elicited from the moderate variants and much more deleterious but rare variants.

متن کاملGlobal architecture of metabolite distributions across species and its formation mechanisms
Living organisms produce metabolites of many types via metabolic reactions. Especially, flavonoids, a type of secondary metabolite, of plant species are interesting examples. Since plant species are believed to have specific flavonoids that were formed response to diverse environments, elucidation of the design principles of metabolite distributions across plant species is important for underst...

Three Iranian native strains and three Japanese commercial lines of the silkworm Bombyx mori were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A set of ten PstI/TaqI primer combinations amplified a total of 322 bands out of which 251 (%78) were polymorphic. Estimates of Nei’s gene diversity for all loci in individual strains and commercial lines indicated a higher degre...
متن کاملIdentification and Evaluation of Geomorphosites Based on Quantitative Parametric Methods and Scientific Quality (Case Study: Gilan Gharb County)
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Geotourism is defined as a form of tourism, in which the geographical features of a place increase the environment, culture, cultural heritage and well-being of its inhabitants (Quartz et al. 2008, 106). Over the past years, the creation of geoparks and the development of geotourism have made geomorphosites a major feature of this type of tourism (Reynard et ...
