Abstract
Introduction: Nicotine degradation is a new strategy to block nicotine-induced pathology. The potential of human microbiota to degrade nicotine has not been explored. Aims: This study aimed to uncover the genomic potentials of human microbiota to degrade nicotine. Method: To address this issue, we performed a systematic annotation of Nicotine-Degrading Enzymes (NDEs) from genomes and metagenomes of human microbiota. A total of 26,295 genomes and 1,596 metagenomes for human microbiota were downloaded from public databases and five types of NDEs were annotated with a custom pipeline. We found 959 NdhB, 785 NdhL, 987 NicX, three NicA1, and three NicA2 homologs. Results: Genomic classification revealed that six phylum-level taxa, including Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Firmicutes_A, Bacteroidota, Actinobacteriota, and Chloroflexota, can produce NDEs, with Proteobacteria encoding all five types of NDEs studied. Analysis of NicX prevalence revealed differences among body sites. NicX homologs were found in gut and oral samples with a high prevalence but not found in lung samples. NicX was found in samples from both smokers and non-smokers, though the prevalence might be different.
期刊介绍:
Current Genomics is a peer-reviewed journal that provides essential reading about the latest and most important developments in genome science and related fields of research. Systems biology, systems modeling, machine learning, network inference, bioinformatics, computational biology, epigenetics, single cell genomics, extracellular vesicles, quantitative biology, and synthetic biology for the study of evolution, development, maintenance, aging and that of human health, human diseases, clinical genomics and precision medicine are topics of particular interest. The journal covers plant genomics. The journal will not consider articles dealing with breeding and livestock.
Current Genomics publishes three types of articles including:
i) Research papers from internationally-recognized experts reporting on new and original data generated at the genome scale level. Position papers dealing with new or challenging methodological approaches, whether experimental or mathematical, are greatly welcome in this section.
ii) Authoritative and comprehensive full-length or mini reviews from widely recognized experts, covering the latest developments in genome science and related fields of research such as systems biology, statistics and machine learning, quantitative biology, and precision medicine. Proposals for mini-hot topics (2-3 review papers) and full hot topics (6-8 review papers) guest edited by internationally-recognized experts are welcome in this section. Hot topic proposals should not contain original data and they should contain articles originating from at least 2 different countries.
iii) Opinion papers from internationally recognized experts addressing contemporary questions and issues in the field of genome science and systems biology and basic and clinical research practices.
