The fungus Aspergillus nidulans reduces nitrate to ammonium and simultaneously oxidizes ethanol to acetate to generate ATP under hypoxic conditions in a mechanism called ammonia fermentation (Takasaki, K. et al.. J. Biol. Chem. 2004, 279, 12414-12420). To elucidate the mechanism, the fungus was cultured under normoxic and hypoxic (ammonia fermenting) conditions, intracellular proteins were resolved by 2-DE, and 332 protein spots were identified using MALDI MS after tryptic digestion. Alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases that play key roles in oxidizing ethanol were produced at the basal level under hypoxic conditions but were obviously provoked by ethanol under normoxic conditions. Enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, as well as the tricarboxylic and glyoxylate cycles, were downregulated. These results indicate that the mechanism of fungal energy conservation is altered under hypoxic conditions. The results also showed that proteins in the pentose phosphate pathway as well as the metabolism of both nucleotide and thiamine were upregulated under hypoxic conditions. Levels of xanthine and hypoxanthine, deamination products of guanine and adenine were increased in DNA from hypoxic cells, indicating an association between hypoxia and intracellular DNA base damage. This study is the first proteomic comparison of the hypoxic responses of A. nidulans.

D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
