Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bacillus subtilis, a kind of probiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial function, was commonly used in livestock and poultry production. Recent research suggested that Bacillus subtilis may have antioxidant properties and improve immune response. This study aimed to verify the probiotic function of Bacillus subtilis in the production of broiler chickens. METHODS A total of 324 (1-day-old) Arbor Acres broilers were selected and randomly divided into three groups: basal diet group (Ctr Group), basal diet + antibiotic growth promoter group (Ctr + AGP) and basal diet + 0.5% Bacillus subtilis preparation group (Ctr + Bac). The experiment lasted for 42 days. Muscle, serum and liver samples were collected at 42 days for determination. RESULTS The results showed that Bacillus subtilis could decrease malondialdehyde content in the serum and liver (p<0.05) and increase superoxide dismutase 1 mRNA expression (p<0.01) and total superoxide dismutase (p<0.05) in the liver. In addition, compared with AGP supplementation, Bacillus subtilis supplementation increased interleukin-10 (IL-10) and decreased tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β level in the serum (p<0.05). At 45 minutes after slaughter Ctr + Bac presented a higher a* value of breast muscle than Ctr Group (p<0.05), while significant change in leg muscle was not identified. Moreover, there was no difference in weight, shear force, cooking loss and drip loss of breast and leg muscle between treatments. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that Bacillus subtilis in diet can enhance antioxidant capacity and optimize immune response of broilers.

Tyrosine catabolism enhances genotoxic chemotherapy by suppressing translesion DNA synthesis in epithelial ovarian cancer. Cell Metab 2023; 35:2044-2059.e8.

Abstract
Amino acid metabolism has been actively investigated as a potential target for antitumor therapy, but how it may alter the response to genotoxic chemotherapy remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the depletion of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), an enzyme that catalyzes the final step of tyrosine catabolism, reduced chemosensitivity in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The expression level of FAH correlated significantly with chemotherapy efficacy in patients with EOC. Mechanistically, under genotoxic chemotherapy, FAH is oxidized at Met308 and translocates to the nucleus, where FAH-mediated tyrosine catabolism predominantly supplies fumarate. FAH-produced fumarate binds directly to REV1, resulting in the suppression of translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and improved chemosensitivity. Furthermore, in vivo tyrosine supplementation improves sensitivity to genotoxic chemotherapeutics and reduces the occurrence of therapy resistance. Our findings reveal a unique role for tyrosine-derived fumarate in the regulation of TLS and may be exploited to improve genotoxic chemotherapy through dietary tyrosine supplementation.

Abstract
When replication forks encounter template lesions, one result is lesion skipping, where the stalled DNA polymerase transiently stalls, disengages, and then reinitiates downstream to leave the lesion behind in a postreplication gap. Despite considerable attention in the 6 decades since postreplication gaps were discovered, the mechanisms by which postreplication gaps are generated and repaired remain highly enigmatic. This review focuses on postreplication gap generation and repair in the bacterium Escherichia coli. New information to address the frequency and mechanism of gap generation and new mechanisms for their resolution are described. There are a few instances where the formation of postreplication gaps appears to be programmed into particular genomic locations, where they are triggered by novel genomic elements.

Abstract
Methionine is a sulfur-containing residue found in most proteins which are particularly susceptible to oxidation. Although methionine oxidation causes protein damage, it can in some cases activate protein function. Enzymatic systems reducing oxidized methionine have evolved in most bacterial species and methionine oxidation proves to be a reversible post-translational modification regulating protein activity. In this review, we inspect recent examples of methionine oxidation provoking protein loss and gain of function. We further speculate on the role of methionine oxidation as a multilayer endogenous antioxidant system and consider its potential consequences for bacterial virulence.

Abstract
Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans) is an extremophile that can tolerate ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and oxidation. How D. radiodurans responds to and survives high levels of ionizing radiation is still not clear. In this study, we performed label-free proteomics to explore the proteome dynamics during postirradiation recovery (PIR). Surprisingly, proteins involved in translation were repressed during the initial hours of PIR. D. radiodurans also showed enhanced DNA repair and antioxidative response after 6 kGy of gamma irradiation. Moreover, proteins involved in sulfur metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism were enriched at 1 h and 12 h, respectively, indicating different energy and material needs during PIR. Furthermore, based on these findings, we proposed a novel model to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms of robust radioresistance in D. radiodurans, which may serve as a reference for future radiation repair.

Abstract
Repairing oxidative-targeted macromolecules is a central mechanism necessary for living organisms to adapt to oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen and chlorine species preferentially oxidize sulfur-containing amino acids in proteins. Among these amino acids, methionine can be converted into methionine sulfoxide. This post-translational oxidation can be reversed by methionine sulfoxide reductases, Msr enzymes. In Gram-negative bacteria, the antioxidant MsrPQ system is involved in the repair of periplasmic oxidized proteins. Surprisingly, in this study, we observed in Escherichia coli that msrPQ was highly expressed in the absence of oxygen. We have demonstrated that the anaerobic induction of msrPQ was due to chlorate (ClO3 - ) contamination of the Casamino Acids. Molecular investigation led us to determine that the reduction of chlorate to the toxic oxidizing agent chlorite (ClO2 - ) by the three nitrate reductases (NarA, NarZ, and Nap) led to methionine oxidation of periplasmic proteins. In response to this stress, the E. coli HprSR two-component system was activated, leading to the over-production of MsrPQ. This study, therefore, supports the idea that methionine oxidation in proteins is part of chlorate toxicity, and that MsrPQ can be considered as an anti-chlorate/chlorite defense system in bacteria. Finally, this study challenges the traditional view of the absence of Met-oxidation during anaerobiosis.

Abstract
Methionine (Met) can be oxidized to methionine sulfoxide (MetO), which exist as R- and S-diastereomers. Present in all three domains of life, methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSR) are the enzymes that reduce MetO back to Met. Most characterized among them are MSRA and MSRB, which are strictly stereospecific for the S- and R-diastereomers of MetO, respectively. While the majority of MSRs use a catalytic Cys to reduce their substrates, some employ selenocysteine. This is the case of mammalian MSRB1, which was initially discovered as selenoprotein SELR or SELX and later was found to exhibit an MSRB activity. Genomic analyses demonstrated its occurrence in most animal lineages, and biochemical and structural analyses uncovered its catalytic mechanism. The use of transgenic mice and mammalian cell culture revealed its physiological importance in the protection against oxidative stress, maintenance of neuronal cells, cognition, cancer cell proliferation, and the immune response. Coincident with the discovery of Met oxidizing MICAL enzymes, recent findings of MSRB1 regulating the innate immunity response through reversible stereospecific Met-R-oxidation of cytoskeletal actin opened up new avenues for biological importance of MSRB1 and its role in disease. In this review, we discuss the current state of research on MSRB1, compare it with other animal Msrs, and offer a perspective on further understanding of biological functions of this selenoprotein.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause destructive damage to biological macromolecules and protein dysfunction in bacteria. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) with redox-active Cys and/or seleno-cysteine (Sec) residues can restore physiological functions of the proteome, which is essential for oxidative stress tolerance of the extremophile Deinococcus radiodurans. However, the underlying mechanism regulating MsrA enzyme activity in D. radiodurans under oxidative stress has remained elusive. Here, we identified the function of MsrA in response to oxidative stress. msrA expression in D. radiodurans was significantly upregulated under oxidative stress. The msrA mutant showed a deficiency in antioxidative capacity and an increased level of dabsyl-Met-S-SO, indicating increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. Moreover, msrA mRNA was posttranscriptionally regulated by a small RNA, DsrO. Analysis of the molecular interaction between DsrO and msrA mRNA demonstrated that DsrO increased the half-life of msrA mRNA and then upregulated MsrA enzyme activity under oxidative stress compared to the wild type. msrA expression was also transcriptionally regulated by the DNA-repairing regulator DrRRA, providing a connection for further analysis of protein restoration during DNA repair. Overall, our results provide direct evidence that DsrO and DrRRA regulate msrA expression at two levels to stabilize msrA mRNA and increase MsrA protein levels, revealing the protective roles of DsrO signaling in D. radiodurans against oxidative stress. IMPORTANCE The repair of oxidized proteins is an indispensable function allowing the extremophile D. radiodurans to grow in adverse environments. Msr proteins and various oxidoreductases can reduce oxidized Cys and Met amino acid residues of damaged proteins to recover protein function. Consequently, it is important to investigate the molecular mechanism maintaining the high reducing activity of MsrA protein in D. radiodurans during stresses. Here, we showed the protective roles of an sRNA, DsrO, in D. radiodurans against oxidative stress. DsrO interacts with msrA mRNA to improve msrA mRNA stability, and this increases the amount of MsrA protein. In addition, we also showed that DrRRA transcriptionally regulated msrA gene expression. Due to the importance of DrRRA in regulating DNA repair, this study provides a clue for further analysis of MsrA activity during DNA repair. This study indicates that protecting proteins from oxidation is an effective strategy for extremophiles to adapt to stress conditions.

Abstract
Oxidation of protein methionines to methionine sulfoxides can result in protein structural alterations with a wide variety of biological implications. Factors that determine susceptibility to oxidation are not well understood. The recent JBC Editors Pick by Walker et al. applied proteomic methodologies to show that the oxidative susceptibility of buried methionine residues is strongly correlated with folding stability of the contextual peptide. Proteome-wide analysis of oxidation-susceptible methionines promises to answer open questions about the biological functions of reversible methionine oxidation.

Abstract
Deinococcus species possess remarkable tolerance to extreme environmental conditions that generate oxidative damage to macromolecules. Among enzymes fulfilling key functions in metabolism regulation and stress responses, thiol reductases (TRs) harbour catalytic cysteines modulating the redox status of Cys and Met in partner proteins. We present here a detailed description of Deinococcus TRs regarding gene occurrence, sequence features, and physiological functions that remain poorly characterised in this genus. Two NADPH-dependent thiol-based systems are present in Deinococcus. One involves thioredoxins, disulfide reductases providing electrons to protein partners involved notably in peroxide scavenging or in preserving protein redox status. The other is based on bacillithiol, a low-molecular-weight redox molecule, and bacilliredoxin, which together protect Cys residues against overoxidation. Deinococcus species possess various types of thiol peroxidases whose electron supply depends either on NADPH via thioredoxins or on NADH via lipoylated proteins. Recent data gained on deletion mutants confirmed the importance of TRs in Deinococcus tolerance to oxidative treatments, but additional investigations are needed to delineate the redox network in which they operate, and their precise physiological roles. The large palette of Deinococcus TR representatives very likely constitutes an asset for the maintenance of redox homeostasis in harsh stress conditions.

Abstract
Bacteria have to cope with oxidative stress caused by distinct Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), derived not only from normal aerobic metabolism but also from oxidants present in their environments. The major ROS include superoxide O2−, hydrogen peroxide H2O2 and radical hydroxide HO•. To protect cells under oxidative stress, bacteria induce the expression of several genes, namely the SoxRS, OxyR and PerR regulons. Cells are able to tolerate a certain number of free radicals, but high levels of ROS result in the oxidation of several biomolecules. Strikingly, RNA is particularly susceptible to this common chemical damage. Oxidation of RNA causes the formation of strand breaks, elimination of bases or insertion of mutagenic lesions in the nucleobases. The most common modification is 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-oxo-G), an oxidized form of guanosine. The structure and function of virtually all RNA species (mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, sRNA) can be affected by RNA oxidation, leading to translational defects with harmful consequences for cell survival. However, bacteria have evolved RNA quality control pathways to eliminate oxidized RNA, involving RNA-binding proteins like the members of the MutT/Nudix family and the ribonuclease PNPase. Here we summarize the current knowledge on the bacterial stress response to RNA oxidation, namely we present the different ROS responsible for this chemical damage and describe the main strategies employed by bacteria to fight oxidative stress and control RNA damage.

Abstract
Methionine oxidation is involved in regulating the protein activity and often leads to protein malfunction. However, tools for quantitative analyses of protein-specific methionine oxidation are currently unavailable. In this work, we developed a biological sensor that quantifies oxidized methionine in the form of methionine-R-sulfoxide in target proteins. The biosensor "tpMetROG" consists of methionine sulfoxide reductase B (MsrB), circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein (cpYFP), thioredoxin, and protein G. Protein G binds to the constant region of antibodies against target proteins, specifically capturing them. Then, MsrB reduces the oxidized methionine in these proteins, leading to cpYFP fluorescence changes. We assessed this biosensor for quantitative analysis of methionine-R-sulfoxide in various proteins, such as calmodulin, IDLO, LegP, Sacde, and actin. We further developed an immunosorbent assay using the biosensor to quantify methionine oxidation in specific proteins such as calmodulin in animal tissues. The biosensor-linked immunosorbent assay proves to be an indispensable tool for detecting methionine oxidation in a protein-specific manner. This is a versatile tool for studying the redox biology of methionine oxidation in proteins.

Abstract
E. coli responds to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) by inducing defenses that protect H2 O2 -sensitive enzymes. DNA is believed to be another important target of oxidation, and E. coli contains enzymes that can repair oxidative lesions in vitro. However, those enzymes are not known to be induced by H2 O2 , and experiments have indicated that they are not necessary for the cell to withstand natural (low-micromolar) concentrations. In this study we used H2 O2 -scavenging mutants to impose controlled doses of H2 O2 for extended time. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that in the presence of 1 µM cytoplasmic H2 O2 , the OxyR transcription factor induced xthA, encoding exonuclease III. The xthA mutants survived a conventional 15-minute exposure to even 100 times this level of H2 O2 . However, when these mutants were exposed to 1 µM H2 O2 for hours, they accumulated DNA lesions, failed to propagate, and eventually died. Although endonuclease III (nth) was not induced, nth mutants struggled to grow. Low-grade H2 O2 stress also activated the SOS regulon, and when this induction was blocked, cell replication stopped. Collectively, these data indicate that physiological levels of H2 O2 are a real threat to DNA, and the engagement of the base-excision-repair and SOS systems is necessary to enable propagation during protracted stress.

Abstract
RecA plays a central role in DNA repair and is a main actor involved in recombination and activation of the SOS response. It is also used in the context of biotechnological applications in recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification (RPA). In this work, we studied the biological properties of seven RecA variants, in particular their recombinogenic activity and their ability to induce the SOS response, to better understand the structure-function relationship of RecA and the effect of combined mutations. We also investigated the biochemical properties of RecA variants that may be useful for the development of biotechnological applications. We showed that Dickeya dadantii RecA (DdRecA) had an optimum strand exchange activity at 30 °C and in the presence of a dNTP mixture that inhibited Escherichia coli RecA (EcRecA). The differences between the CTD and C-tail of the EcRecA and DdRecA domains could explain the altered behaviour of DdRecA. D. radiodurans RecA (DrRecA) was unable to perform recombination and activation of the SOS response in an E. coli context, probably due to its inability to interact with E. coli recombination accessory proteins and SOS LexA repressor. DrRecA strand exchange activity was totally inhibited in the presence of chloride ions but worked well in acetate buffer. The overproduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa RecA (PaRecA) in an E. coli context was responsible for a higher SOS response and defects in cellular growth. PaRecA was less inhibited by the dNTP mixture than EcRecA. Finally, the study of three variants, namely, EcPa, EcRecAV1 and EcRecAV2, that contained a combination of mutations that, taken independently, are described as improving recombination, led us to raise new hypotheses on the structure-function relationship and on the monomer-monomer interactions that perturb the activity of the protein as a whole.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in health and disease. While nitrite acts as a reservoir of NO activity, mechanisms for NO release require further understanding. A series of electronically varied β-diketiminatocopper(II) nitrite complexes [CuII](κ2-O2N) react with a range of electronically tuned triarylphosphines PArZ3 that release NO with the formation of O═PArZ3. Second-order rate constants are largest for electron-poor copper(II) nitrite and electron-rich phosphine pairs. Computational analysis reveals a transition-state structure energetically matched with experimentally determined activation barriers. The production of NO follows a pathway that involves nitrite isomerization at CuII from κ2-O2N to κ1-NO2 followed by O-atom transfer (OAT) to form O═PArZ3 and [CuI]-NO that releases NO upon PArZ3 binding at CuI to form [CuI]-PArZ3. These findings illustrate important mechanistic considerations involved in NO formation from nitrite via OAT.

Abstract
Bacteria live in different environments and are subject to a wide variety of fluctuating conditions. During evolution, they acquired sophisticated systems dedicated to maintaining protein structure and function, especially during oxidative stress. Under such conditions, methionine residues are converted into methionine sulfoxide (Met-O) which can alter protein function. In this review, we focus on the role in protein quality control of methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr) which repair oxidatively protein-bound Met-O. We discuss our current understanding of the importance of Msr systems in rescuing protein function under oxidative stress and their ability to work in coordination with chaperone networks. Moreover, we highlight that bacterial chaperones, like GroEL or SurA, are also targeted by oxidative stress and under the surveillance of Msr. Therefore, integration of methionine redox homeostasis in protein quality control during oxidative stress gives a complete picture of this bacterial adaptive mechanism.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause damage to DNA and proteins. Here, we report that the RecA recombinase is itself oxidized by ROS. Genetic and biochemical analyses revealed that oxidation of RecA altered its DNA repair and DNA recombination activities. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that exposure to ROS converted four out of nine Met residues of RecA to methionine sulfoxide. Mimicking oxidation of Met35 by changing it for Gln caused complete loss of function, whereas mimicking oxidation of Met164 resulted in constitutive SOS activation and loss of recombination activity. Yet, all ROS-induced alterations of RecA activity were suppressed by methionine sulfoxide reductases MsrA and MsrB. These findings indicate that under oxidative stress MsrA/B is needed for RecA homeostasis control. The implication is that, besides damaging DNA structure directly, ROS prevent repair of DNA damage by hampering RecA activity.
