BinBase is a large GC-TOF MS based metabolomics database encompassing
1,561 studies with 114,795 samples for various species, organs, matrices, and
experimental conditions. By the physics of GC-MS, analysis is restricted to
thermostable small molecules that range up to 650 Da in size, even if using
derivatization by trimethylsilylation to reduce boiling points. Molecules
profiled by trimethylsilylation GC-MS based metabolomics include amino acids,
di- and tripeptides, hydroxyl acids, organic phosphates, fatty acids, alcohols,
sugar acids, mono-, di- and trisaccharides including sugar acids and sugar
alcohols, aromatic acids, nucleosides and mononucleotides (but not di- or
trinucleotides), sterols, polyamines, and a large variety of miscellaneous
compounds.
BinBase uses a retention index- and mass spectral quality filtering
system based on GC-TOF based mass spectral deconvolution results as
input21 (link) to store and
report unique metabolite signals that are detected in metabolomic studies.
Through the connected MiniX system22 , all studies in BinBase are associated with metadata such
as species, organs, cell types, and treatments. The BinBase algorithm has been
published previously11 ,23 (link) and is used over the past 13
years. It relies on mass spectral deconvolution of GC-TOF MS data by the Leco
ChromaTOF software and utilizes a multi-tiered filter system with different
settings to annotate deconvoluted instrument peak spectra as unique database
entries (“bins”). For typical studies on mammalian plasma with
about 50–60 samples, about 1,000 peaks would be detected by ChromaTOF
software at least in one chromatogram at signal/noise ratios s/n>5.
BinBase removes low abundant, inconsistent and noisy peaks that cannot be
assigned to existing bins in BinBase and that have too low spectra quality to
generate a new bin in BinBase, resulting in datasets that typically report
400-500 peaks for mammalian plasma samples. Compound identifications within
BinBase are managed by the administrator using spectral libraries and retention
index information from the Fiehnlib libraries12 (link) and NIST mass spectra. In a typical
final BinBase report such as on mammalian plasma, about 30-40% of the
reported bins are noted as identified metabolites, i.e. about 150 compounds,
including database identifiers such as KEGG, PubChem and InChI keys.

IRK1 currents were recorded from inside-out membrane patches of Xenopus oocytes (injected with IRK1 cRNA) with an Axopatch 200B amplifier (Axon Instruments, Inc.), filtered at 5 kHz, and sampled at 25 kHz using an analogue-to-digital converter (DigiData 1200; Axon Instruments, Inc.) interfaced with a personal computer. pClamp6 software (Axon Instruments, Inc.) was used to control the amplifier and acquire the data. During current recording, the voltage across the membrane patch was first hyperpolarized from the 0 mV holding potential to −100 mV and then stepped to various test voltages, or stepped directly from the holding potential. The duration of the voltage test pulse was 100 ms, which is comparable to those used in the studies where the Mg2+- and polyamine-independent rectification was initially observed (Aleksandrov et al., 1996 (link); Shieh et al., 1996 (link)). Background leak current correction was performed as described previously (Lu and MacKinnon, 1994 (link); Guo and Lu, 2000a (link)). To effectively perfuse the patch, the tip of the patch pipette (∼3 MΩ) was immersed in a stream of intracellular solution exiting one of ten glass capillaries (ID = 0.2 mm) mounted in parallel.

The previous high-resolution structure of the E. coli 70S ribosome (Noeske et al., 2015 (link)) was used as a starting model. We used the ‘Fit to Map’ function in Chimera (Pettersen et al., 2004 (link)) to calibrate the magnification of the cryo-EM map of the 50S ribosomal subunit generated here to maximize correlation, resulting in a pixel size of 0.7118 Å rather than the recorded 0.71 Å. Focused-refined maps were transformed into the frame of reference of the 70S ribosome for modeling and refinement, using the ‘Fit to Map’ function in Chimera, and resampling the maps on the 70S ribosome grid. The 50S and 30S subunits were refined separately into their respective focused-refined maps using PHENIX real-space refinement (RSR; Liebschner et al., 2019 (link)). Protein and rRNA chains were visually inspected in Coot (Casañal et al., 2020 (link)) and manually adjusted where residues did not fit well into the density, making use of B-factor blurred maps where needed to interpret regions of lower resolution. Focused-refined maps on smaller regions were used to make further manual adjustments to the model, alternating with PHENIX RSR. Some parts of the 50S subunit, including H69, H34, and the tip of the A-site finger, were modeled based on the 30S subunit focused-refined map. The A-site and P-site tRNAs were modeled as follows: anticodon stem-loops, 30S subunit focused-refined map; P-site tRNA body, 50S subunit focused-refined map, with a B factor of 20 Å2 applied; A-site tRNA body, 30S subunit focused-refined map and 50S subunit focused-refined map with B factors of 20 Å2 applied; tRNA-ACCA 3’ ends, 50S subunit focused-refined map with B factors of 20–30 Å2 applied. Alignments of uS15 were generated using BLAST (Altschul et al., 1997 (link)) with the E. coli sequence as reference. The model for bL31A (E. coli gene rpmE) was manually built into the CP and 30S subunit head domain focused-refined maps before refinement in PHENIX.
A model for paromomycin was manually docked into the 30S subunit focused-refined map, followed by real-space refinement in Coot and PHENIX. Comparisons to prior paromomycin structural models (PDB codes 1J7T, 2VQE, and 4V51; Kurata et al., 2008 (link); Selmer et al., 2006 (link); Vicens and Westhof, 2001 (link)) used least-squares superposition of paromomycin in Coot. Although ring IV is in different conformations in the various paromomycin models, the least-squares superposition is dominated by rings I–III, which are in nearly identical conformations across models.
Ribosome solvation including water molecules, magnesium ions, and polyamines was modeled using a combination of PHENIX (phenix.douse) and manual inspection. The phenix.douse feature was run separately on individual focused-refined maps, and the resulting solvent models were combined into the final 30S and 50S subunit models. Due to the fact that the solvent conditions used here contained ammonium ions and no potassium, no effort was made to systematically identify monovalent ion positions. The numbers of various solvent molecules are given in .
Along with the individual maps used for model building and refinement, we have also generated a composite map of the 70S ribosome from the focused-refined maps for deposition to the PDB and EMDB for ease of use (however, experimental maps are recommended for the examination of high-resolution features). We made the composite map using the ‘Fit in Map’ and vop commands in Chimera. First, we aligned the unmasked focus-refined maps with the 70S ribosome map using the ‘Fit in Map’ tool. We then used the ‘vop resample’ command to transform these aligned maps to the 70S ribosome grid. After the resampling step, we recorded the map standard deviations as reported in the ‘Volume Mean, SD, RMS’ tool. Then, we added the maps sequentially using ‘vop add’ followed by rescaling the intermediate maps to the starting standard deviation using the ‘vop scale’ command.

The electroosmotic pump incorporated in the microchip design is similar to earlier reported designs.32 ,44 (link) The microfluidic components of the pump consist of a tee intersection where the end of the separation channel, the side channel, and short transport channel leading to the electro-spray tip meet (Figure 1). As described above, all of the channels except the side channel were coated with a polyamine to reverse the surface charge on those channels. When all of the channels were filled with the CE background electrolyte (50% methanol, 0.2% acetic acid), the electroosmotic mobility (μeof) in the polyamine-coated separation channel was ~5 × 10−8 m2 V−1 s−1 (anodic EOF) based on the measured migration time of injected analyte bands. The electroosmotic mobility in the uncoated side channel was significantly lower in magnitude and in the opposite direction (cathodic EOF). The actual value of the EOF in the side channel was not determined; however, optical imaging of a neutral fluorescent marker (introduced via the side channel reservoir) revealed only a small amount of flow (significantly lower than the flow in the separation channel) under typical operating conditions. When the voltage at the side-channel reservoir was more positive than the voltage at the CE injection cross, the EOF in both the separation channel and the side channel flowed toward the intersection near the ESI corner. The short length of channel between the intersection and the ESI orifice was essentially field-free (due to the relatively large electrical resistance of the air between the microchip and the MS inlet), so there was no EOF in this channel segment. The electroosmotically driven flow entering the tee intersection from the separation and side channels generated a pressure that could easily drive flow through the field-free segment. It was estimated that a pressure of less than 1 mbar would be required to drive liquid through the 150-μm-long field-free channel at a flow rate of 40 nL/min. The separation and side channels had a hydraulic resistance more than 100 times greater than the electrospray channel; thus, the pressure-driven flow in these channels was negligible.

The relative contribution of ADC and ODC to putrescine biosynthesis was evaluated by measuring the activity of each enzyme in the leaves (leaf 23) and roots of the NA and LA plants at topping and harvest. ADC and ODC activity varied in an organ-specific and developmental stage-specific manner in both lines (FIG. 4). Whereas ADC activity was high in the leaves but minimal in the roots of both lines, ODC activity was higher in the younger leaves and roots, indicating that ODC is mainly responsible for putrescine biosynthesis in the roots. ADC activity was significantly higher (1.4-fold, p<0.05) in the leaves of the LA plants compared to the NA controls at topping and harvest (FIG. 4A). Similarly, ODC activity was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the LA plants compared to the NA controls in the roots at topping (1.8-fold) and at harvest (1.7-fold), and in young leaves at topping (1.5-fold) (FIG. 4B).

A commercially available weak base anion exchanger (Purolite weak base anion, details in table S4) with primary amine functional groups was used as the parent polymer for preparing Polyam-N-Cu2+. The parent polyamine resin has an average particle size of 500 ± 50 μm and was conditioned by rinsing with distilled water (DI) for 1 hour before use. Similar products are likely to be available from other manufacturers; no endorsement is implied. To convert the parent polyamine resin into Polyam-N-Cu2+, a CuCl2 solution (1000 mg/liter) at pH ≈ 4.0 was passed through the parent resin in a fixed-bed column. After loading the Cu, the resin beads were rinsed with DI to remove the residual chemicals, and the as-prepared Polyam-N-Cu2+ resin beads were used in this study after air drying. A chelating polymeric resin with iminodiacetate functionality (Amberlite IRC718; details in table S2) was treated through the same Cu(II)-loading protocol to prepare polyiminodiacetate-Cu and compare with Polyam-N-Cu2+.

pI-SceI was constructed by cloning the I-sceI nuclease from pSLTS [a gift from Shelley Copley, Addgene plasmid #59386, (61 (link))] cloned into the expression vector pHERD30T between the EcoRI and XbaI sites using primers I-SceI F and I-SceI R (Table 2). Restriction cloning sites in primer sequences are indicated by capital letters. pCut was constructed by cloning the I-SceI recognition sequence (TAGGGATAACAGGGTAAT) into pUCP18 between the HindIII and EcoRI sites. pEmpty is simply the empty pUCP18 vector. Primers used to screen for the presence/absence of circular and linear plasmid DNA are as follows: pCutF and M13R produce a 1-kb product indicating the presence of circular pCut (these primers will not amplify linearized pCut DNA). pCutF and pCutR produce a 0.5-kb product indicating the presence of both linear and circular forms of pCut. Clones carrying pI-SceI and confirmed linearized pCut plasmid DNA or those carrying pEmpty were grown with or without 50 mM putrescine in LB broth for the indicated times. Intracellular polyamines were measured as described above.

Polyamines were measured using the Total Polyamine Assay Kit (MAK349, Sigma). A 100 µL aliquot of the indicated bacterial cultures was collected, centrifuged, washed with 1× PBS, and resuspended in PBS. Bacteria were lysed with 1:10 vol/vol chloroform, vortexed, and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. The solution was centrifuged, and the top aqueous layer was collected. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, 1.0 µL of the collected sample was mixed with the Total Polyamine Assay Kit reagents, incubated at 37 °C for 30 min, and read using a CLARIOStar plate reader using end point fluorescence (λex = 535 nm/λem = 587 nm). Polyamine concentrations were determined by comparing values to a standard curve constructed from known concentrations of putrescine. Values were then normalized to OD600 measurements taken from the original bacterial cultures.
