Objective: In this study, we report the role of miRNAs involved under nitrogen starvation from widely grown vegetable crop, French bean. In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid to the elucidation of miRNAs involved in low nitrate stress. Methods: To identify miRNAs expressed under stress, cDNA libraries were analyzed. Results: We reported the nine potential miRNAs with 67 targets involved in nutrient transporters and other stress specific genes. Among the miRNA sequences obtained 6 sequences belong to miR172 family, one with miR169. RT-PCR analysis of expression of miR172 family was induced upon low nitrate stress while miR169 family was repressed. In addition, Pvu-SN7b and Pvu-miR16 may be new members of miRNA172 and miR169 families, respectively. Conclusion: The targets of Pvu-SN7b were major protein kinases, one among which is the Protein Kinase CK2. CK2 Kinase is found to involve in transcription-directed signaling, gene control and cell-cycle regulation. Other targets of Pvu-SN7b were involved in DNA-dependent transcription regulation, photo-periodism, calcium-mediated signaling. Pvu-miR16 targets Thymidine kinase, the key enzyme of deoxy-nucleotide synthesis. The cleavage of these targets affects cell proliferation there by affecting nodule formation. Pvu-miR8 inhibits translation of its target protein Pre-protein translocase, a membrane-bound protein transporter involved in trans-membrane protein transportation. Together these results denote the response and role of miRNAs to nitrate-limiting conditions in French bean.

Objective: Controlling and monitoring the diabetes during pregnancy, because of the malformation, macrosomia and other complications is especially important. Our study is designed to investigate the reliability of the two most commonly used parameter is the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fructosamine during pregnancy. Also among our study group, serum total protein, albumin, vitamin B12, folic acid, glucose, insulin, ferritin and hemoglobin data were evaluated. Methods: The study groups are pregnant women (n=252; age mean: 27,761± 5/year) and control group (n=28; age mean: 28,61± 5,38/year) who are no additional health problems. Diabetic pregnant women number is 124 (consisted of 10 first trimester, 62 second trimester and 52 third trimester) and nondiabetic pregnant women number is 138 (consisted of 24 first trimester, 32 second trimester and 82 third trimester). All measurement data are obtained from hospital information system. Results: No statistically significant difference in any of the groups for HbA1c. It’s clearly observed that all the significant differences found for fructosamine occur depending on the level of albumin and fructosamine levels decreased progressively during the three trimesters. In our diabetic pregnant women group; although statistically make a difference; mean blood glucose values were below our expectations. Conclusion: Our study is support that fructosamine and HbA1c are unavailable for diagnosis and monitoring the gestational diabetes. However the lack of difference between the groups for levels of fructosamine and HbA1c; and blood glucose levels below our expectations in diabetic pregnant women group can be connected good diabetes control.

Objective: An important predictor for infant survival is birth weight. Normal fetal growth is related to various intrauterine factors. Low birth weight is thought to have relation with oxidative stress which plays an important role in reducing the birth weight. Among the paraoxonase family PON1 protects LDL and HDL from the lipid peroxidation. This is HDL associated enzyme having antioxidant property. We aimed to evaluate the arylesterase and lactonase activity of PON1 in cord blood in relation to birth weight. We hypothesized that cord blood PON1 arylesterase and lactonase activities will be compromised in neonates having low birth weight. Methods: We included 80 neonates born in our hospital irrespective of mode of delivery as 40 cases and 40 controls. PON1 arylesterase and lactonase activity were measured using spectrophotometer. Results: Serum arylesterase activity decreased significantly in low birth weight babies (p<0.05). Linear regression analysis (R=0.595) indicates significant correlation between arylesterase and birth weight. Serum lactonase activity of PON1 also gets reduced in low birth weight babies. Its linear regression analysis showed (R=0.716) suggesting significant correlation between lactonase and birth weight. Conclusion: Reduced PON1 activity can be explained on the basis of ER stress and atherogenic changes in the placental circulation. Ours is the first study in cord blood paraoxonase activities in relation to birth weight. As the sample in our study is cord blood, it is essentially a noninvasive one. Further studies are needed in this direction to assess the effect of the oxidative stress on fetus through cord blood in its long term prospective.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the changes of oxidative and anti-oxidative systems in the splanchnic area during carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and to determine whether the administration of dexmedetomidine has effects on these systems. Methods: Forty rats were randomized into four groups: Group I; Control, Group II; No pneumoperitoneum, Dexmedetomidine administration, Group III; Pneumoperitoneum, no Dexmedetomidine administration and Group IV; Pneumoperitoneum and Dexmedetomidine administration 30 minutes before insufflation. The rats were rested 30 minutes after desufflation and blood samples were obtained for; ischaemia modified albumin (IMA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), catalase (CAT), paraoxonase (PON1) and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) analyses. Results: When compared with the control group; the serum IMA levels significantly decreased in group II, and also increased in group III as compared to control (p<0.05). IMA levels were also significantly decreased in both groups II and IV as compared to group III (p<0.001). Serum MPO activity increased in group III as compared to control (p<0.05). Serum AOPP levels were significantly increased in group III as compared to group II (p<0.01) and decreased in group IV as compared to group III (p<0.01). Serum CAT activity was higher in group II than controls (p<0.05). Serum PON and plasma PAF-AH activities significantly decreased in grup III as compared to group II (p<0.05) and plasma PAF-AH activity were decreased in group III as compared to controls (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, administration of dexmedetomidine; prior to ischemia reperfusion injury caused by pneumoperitoneum; reduces the oxidative injury and increases the antioxidant activity in the acute period.

Objective: In this study, pKa values of glutamine and isoleucine were determined in aqueous solution by ab initio and DFT methods. To explain the obtained values of pKa, the molecular conformations and solute-solvent interactions of the anions, cations, and neutrals molecules of glutamine and isoleucine were investigated. The experimental determination of these values, apart from been laborious, is a challenge because of the low water solubility of these compounds. Methods: We have evaluated different models to determination of pKa, using the density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP level of the theory. Results: this study shows the several ionization reactions and equilibriums in protic solvent, which possess a high hydrogen-band-donor capability. These reactions and equilibriums constitute the indispensable theoretical basis for calculation of glutamine and isoleucine acidity constants. Tomasi’s method was used to analyze the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the existent species and water molecules. In this way, it is proposed that in alkaline aqueous solutions the cation, anion, and neutral species of glutamine and isoleucine are solvated with one, two, three, and four molecules of water, respectively. In this study, there is comparable agreement between the experimental and calculated pKa values for the acid-base reactions proposed. Conclusion: In this paper, The calculations performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) levels of theory using Tomasi’s method allowed us to prove that cations, neutral molecules, and anions form IHBs with some molecules of water. It is shown that, theoretically calculated pKa values are in good agreement with the existing experimental pKa values, which are determined from potentiometric titration and UV–visible spectrophotometric measurements.

Objective: A cephalosporin C acylase catalyzes hydrolysis of cephalosporin C to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid directly. This work was considered helpful for the further study of the cephalosporin C acylase and also useful for the strain improvement. Methods: Its mutant (G139αS/F58βN/I75βT/I176βV/S471βC) named A12 was cloned into pET28a (+) vector and expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3). The three dimentional structure of A12 was constructed by the homology modeling and its’ catalytic sites was analyzed by the DOCK software. Results: The mutant A12 was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) with the molecular weight 87kDa containing two subunits of 58kDa α-subunit and 25kDa β-subunit. The activity of A12 was 291 U/L which was lower than that of AcyII (322 U/L) because of the low expression level. The specific activity of A12 was 6.011 U/mg which was higher than that of the AcyII (2.868 U/ mg). Catalytic analysis suggested that A12 had the improved catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) to convert cephalosporin C to 7-ACA at the beginning of the reaction. These results combined with the model analysis indicated that Phe58β、Ile75β and Ile176β were involved in the catalysis from CPC to 7-ACA. Conclusion: In this work, the gene of cephalosporin C acylase AcyII was synthesized, mutated and expressed successfully in the E.coli BL21 (DE3). The specific activity and the catalytic efficiency of A12 increased 2-fold and 3-fold respectively. Compared with the study of cephalosporin C acylase in N176, this work was considered helpful for the further study of the catalytic mechanism of cephalosporin C acylase and also useful for the strain improvement for the cephalosporin C acylase production.

Objective: Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), tomato leafminer, is an oligophagous insect. Larvae of T. absoluta can destroy especially tomato plants which lead to important yield loss in this economically valuable crop. Chemical control through insecticides has been a main method of controlling it in farming areas all over the world. However, continues application of certain registered insecticide such as abamectin might lead to resistance development in T. absoluta. The aim of this study was to monitor resistance status of abamectin insecticide and analyse resistance mechanisms of this insecticide in T. absoluta field populations from three districts of Turkey by using bioassay and biochemical methods. Methods: Bioassays and Biochemical assays. Results: Bioassay results showed that while Adana and Antalya strain of T. absoluta showed low resistance (3.03and 2.3-fold) to abamectin insecticide, Ankara strain of T. absoluta was not resistant to abamectin (1.31-fold). Biochemical analysis displayed that CYP450-PNOD activities showed 2.55 and 1.95-fold increase compared to susceptible population in Adana and Antalya field populations, respectively. Furthermore, GST-CDNB activities showed statistically significant (p<0.05) 1.3-fold increase only in Adana population. Although EST-α-NA activities showed 3.41-fold increase only in Ankara field population, this field population did not display a significant resistancy to abamectin. Conclusion: Consequently, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes seemed to have a major role in abamectin resistance development in field populations of T. absoluta from Turkey. In addition, GSTs possibly have supportive role such as reducing oxidative stress that developed during metabolism of abamectin in resistant field populations of T. absoluta.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to isolate a potential and novel Bacillus strain from paper mill effluent for the production of an industrially important xylanase. Material and Methods: A potent xylanase producing microorganism was isolated from paper mill effluent based on zone of clearance on xylan agar medium. The strain was identified based on 16S rRNA analysis and biochemical characterization. Xylanase produced by the isolated strain was partially purified and characterized for its activity and stability. Results: The xylanase produced by this Bacillus aerophilus KGJ2 was thermophilic, shows higher activity and stability at 70°C. Xylanase had activity peak at pH 4.0 and was very acid stable. Birchwood xylan and beef extract were identified as best suited carbon source and nitrogen source, respectively. Conclusion: The results confirm that Bacillus aerophilus KGJ2 produced a unique acido-
