Structurally diverse carbon-linked (C-linked) analogs of antifreeze glycoprotein (AFGP) have been prepared via linear or convergent
solid phase synthesis. These analogs range in molecular weight from approx 1.5–4.1 KDa and do not possess the β-d-galactose-1,3-α-d-N-acetylgalactosamine carbohydrate moiety or the l-threonine-l-alanine-l-alanine polypeptide backbone native to the AFGP wild-type. Despite these dramatic structural modifications, the 2.7-KDa and
4.1-KDa analogs possess antifreeze protein-specific activity as determined by recrystallization-inhibition (RI) and thermal
hysteresis (TH) assays. These analogs are weaker than the wild-type in their activity, but nanoliter osmometry indicates that
these compounds are binding to ice and affecting a localized freezing point depression. This is the first example of a C-linked
AFGP analog that possesses TH and RI activity and suggests that the rational design and synthesis of chemically and biologically
stable AFGP analogs is a feasible and worthwhile endeavor. Given the low degree of TH activity, these compounds may prove
useful for the protection of cells during freezing and thawing cycles. 相似文献

Antifreeze glycoproteins enable life at temperatures below the freezing point of physiological solutions. They usually consist
of the repetitive tripeptide unit (-Ala-Ala-Thr-) with the disaccharide α-d-galactosyl-(1–3)-β-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine attached to each hydroxyl group of threonine. Monoglycosylated analogues have been synthesized from the corresponding
monoglycosylated threonine building block by microwave-assisted solid phase peptide synthesis. This method allows the preparation
of analogues containing sequence variations which are not accessible by other synthetic methods. As antifreeze glycoproteins
consist of numerous isoforms they are difficult to obtain in pure form from natural sources. The synthetic peptides have been
structurally analyzed by CD and NMR spectroscopy in proton exchange experiments revealing a structure as flexible as reported
for the native peptides. Microphysical recrystallization tests show an ice structuring influence and ice growth inhibition
depending on the concentration, chain length and sequence of the peptides. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of six saponins (ginsenosides) in suspension culture of P. quinquefolium Z5 was investigated. Ginsenoside content in biomass reached the highest level, nearly 30 mg g−1 d.w., between 25 and 30 days of the culture. Saponins were synthesized simultaneously with cell growth but their synthesis
rate was not proportional to the growth rate. During the phase of rapid biomass multiplication, after which biomass reached
90% of its maximum yield, only half examined ginsenosides was produced. The second half of the final saponins yield was produced
during the slow growth phase, in which only 10% of biomass was grown. During the intensive growth phase the productivity of
six saponins examined per biomass (dry weight) unit was 3.4 μg mg−1 d.w. day−1, however, this parameter calculated for slow growth phase reached nearly 30 μg mg−1 d.w. day−1. There were differences in increase of the contents of six saponins determined in biomass, and it was the highest for saponins
Re (20(S)-protopanaxatriol-6-[O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranoside]-20-O-β-d-glucopyranoside) and Rg1 (20(S)-protopanaxatriol-6,20-di-O-β-d-glucoside). 相似文献

We report the solid phase synthesis and some pharmacological properties of 24 oxytocin (OT) analogues. Basic modifications
at position 9 (introduction of l- or d-β-(2-thienyl)-alanine [L- or D-Thi], or l- or d-3-Pyridylalanine [l- or d-3-Pal]) were combined with d-tyrosine(OEthyl) [d-Tyr(Et)] or d-1-naphthylalanine [d-1-Nal] in position 2 and β-mercaptopropionic acid (Mpa) in position 1 modifications in altogether 14 analogues. Additionally, 8 analogues having α-aminoisobutyric acid [Aib] or d-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (d-Tic) or diethylglycine (Deg) in position 9 and d-Tyr(Et) or d-1-Nal or d-Tic in position 2 and Mpa or Pen (ββ-dimethylcysteine) in position 1 were prepared. Two of these analogues have one more modification in position 6, i.e. Pen.
Furthermore, two analogues having Mpa in position 1 and d-Tyr(Et) or d-1-Nal in position 2 were prepared for comparison purposes. The analogues were tested for rat uterotonic activity in vitro,
in the rat pressor assay and for binding affinity to human OT receptor. The analogue having the highest anti-oxytocic activity
was [Mpa1, d-Tyr(Et)2, Deg9]OT (pA2 = 8.68 ± 0.26); this analogue was also selective. 相似文献

Antigen 85 (ag85) is a complex of acyltransferases (ag85A–C) known to play a role in the mycolation of the d-arabino-d-galactan (AG) component of the mycobacterial cell wall. In order to better understand the chemistry and substrate specificity
of ag85, a trehalose monomycolate mimic p-nitrophenyl 6-O-octanoyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) containing an octanoyl moiety in lieu of a mycolyl moiety was synthesized as an acyl donor. Arabinofuranoside acceptors, methyl α-d-arabinofuranoside (2), methyl β-d-arabinofuranoside (3), and methyl 2-O-β-d-arabinofuranosyl-α-d-arabinofuranoside (9) were synthesized to mimic the terminal saccharides found on the AG. The acyl transfer reaction between acyl donor 1 and acceptors 2, 3, and 9 in the presence of ag85C from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) resulted in the formation of esters, methyl 2, 5-di-O-octanoyl-α-d-arabinofuranoside (10), methyl 5-O-octanoyl-β-d-arabinofuranoside (11), and methyl 2-O-(5-O-octanoyl-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)-5-O-octanoyl-α-d-arabinofuranoside (12) in 2 h, 2 h and 8 h, respectively. The initial velocities of the reactions were determined with a newly developed assay
for acyltransferases. As expected, the regioselectivity corresponds to mycolylation patterns found at the terminus of the
AG in M. tuberculosis. The study shows that d-arabinose-based derivatives are capable of acting as substrates for ag85C-mediated acyl-transfer and the acyl glycoside 1 can be used in lieu of TMM extracted from bacteria to study ag85-mediated acyl-transfer and inhibition leading to the better understanding of
the ag85 protein class.

Syntheses of l-dopa 1a glucoside 10a,b and dl-dopa 1b glycosides 10–18 with d-glucose 2, d-galactose 3, d-mannose 4, d-fructose 5, d-arabinose 6, lactose 7, d-sorbitol 8 and d-mannitol 9 were carried out using amyloglucosidase from Rhizopus mold, β-glucosidase isolated from sweet almond and immobilized β-glucosidase. Invariably, l-dopa and dl-dopa gave low to good yields of glycosides 10–18 at 12–49% range and only mono glycosylated products were detected through glycosylation/arylation at the third or fourth
OH positions of l-dopa 1a and dl-dopa 1b. Amyloglucosidase showed selectivity with d-mannose 4 to give 4-O-C1β and d-sorbitol 8 to give 4-O-C6-O-arylated product. β-Glucosidase exhibited selectivity with d-mannose 4 to give 4-O-C1β and lactose 7 to give 4-O-C1β product. Immobilized β-glucosidase did not show any selectivity. Antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition
(ACE) activities of the glycosides were evaluated glycosides, out of which l-3-hydroxy-4-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1′→4)β-d-glucopyranosyl) phenylalanine 16 at 0.9 ± 0.05 mM and dl-3-hydroxy-4-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl) phenylalanine 11b,c at 0.98 ± 0.05 mM showed the best IC50 values for antioxidant activity and dl-3-hydroxy-4-O-(6-d-sorbitol)phenylalanine 17 at 0.56 ± 0.03 mM, l-dopa-d-glucoside 10a,b at 1.1 ± 0.06 mM and dl-3-hydroxy-4-O-(d-glucopyranosyl)phenylalanine 11a-d at 1.2 ± 0.06 mM exhibited the best IC50 values for ACE inhibition.

A recombinant putative β-galactosidase from Thermoplasma acidophilum was purified as a single 57 kDa band of 82 U mg−1. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 114 kDa as a dimer. Maximum activity was observed at pH 6.0 and 90°C. The enzyme
was unstable below pH 6.0: at pH 6 its half-life at 75°C was 28 days but at pH 4.5 was only 13 h. Catalytic efficiencies decreased
as p-nitrophenyl(pNP)-β-d-fucopyranoside (1067) > pNP-β-d-glucopyranoside (381) > pNP-β-d-galactopyranoside (18) > pNP-β-d-mannopyranoside (11 s−1 mM−1), indicating that the enzyme was a β-glycosidase. 相似文献

The gene encoding an α-l-arabinofuranosidase that could biotransform ginsenoside Rc {3-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1–2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-20-O-[α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1–6)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-20(S)-protopanaxadiol} to ginsenoside Rd {3-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1–2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-20-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol} was cloned from a soil bacterium, Rhodanobacter ginsenosidimutans strain Gsoil 3054T, and the recombinant enzyme was characterized. The enzyme (AbfA) hydrolyzed the arabinofuranosyl moiety from ginsenoside
Rc and was classified as a family 51 glycoside hydrolase based on amino acid sequence analysis. Recombinant AbfA expressed
in Escherichia coli hydrolyzed non-reducing arabinofuranoside moieties with apparent K
m values of 0.53 ± 0.07 and 0.30 ± 0.07 mM and V
max values of 27.1 ± 1.7 and 49.6 ± 4.1 μmol min−1 mg−1 of protein for p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside and ginsenoside Rc, respectively. The enzyme exhibited preferential substrate specificity of the exo-type
mode of action towards polyarabinosides or oligoarabinosides. AbfA demonstrated substrate-specific activity for the bioconversion
of ginsenosides, as it hydrolyzed only arabinofuranoside moieties from ginsenoside Rc and its derivatives, and not other sugar
groups. These results are the first report of a glycoside hydrolase family 51 α-l-arabinofuranosidase that can transform ginsenoside Rc to Rd. 相似文献

The bacterium Tsukamurella sp. nov., isolated from soil, was found to produce novel glycolipids when grown on sunflower oil as the sole carbon source.
The glycolipids were isolated by chromatography on silica columns and their structures elucidated using a combination of multidimensional
NMR and MS techniques. The three main components are 2,3-di-O-acyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-1)-α-d-glucopyranose, 2,3-di-O-acyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-4,6-di-O-acyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-1)-α-d-glucopyranose and 2,3-di-O-acyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-6)-4,6-di-O-acyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-1)-α-d-glucopyranosl which are linked to fatty acids varying in chain length from C4 to C18. The glycolipids are mainly extracellular but are also found attached to the cell walls. During the cultivation the composition
of the glycolipids changed from disaccharide- to tri- and tetrasaccharide lipids. The glycolipids show good surface-active
behaviour and have antimicrobial properties.

Alkyl glucosides were synthesized by the reaction of Leuconostoc mesenteroides dextransucrase with sucrose and various alcohols. Alkyl α-d-glucosides were obtained with a yield of 30% (mol/mol) with primary alcohols, but secondary alcohols or tertiary alcohols
gave yields below 5%. The optimal yield was 50% using 1-butyl α-d-glucoside with 0.9 M 1-butanol. The acceptor products of methanol or ethanol were confirmed as methyl α-d-glucopyranoside and ethyl α-d-glucopyranoside via MALDI-TOF MS and NMR analysis. Thus, methyl or ethyl α-d-glucoside constituted half the emulsification activities of Triton X-100 as commercially available surfactants.

A novel phosphorylase from Clostridium phytofermentans belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 65 (Cphy1874) was characterized. The recombinant Cphy1874 protein produced
in Escherichia coli showed phosphorolytic activity on nigerose in the presence of inorganic phosphate, resulting in the release of d-glucose and β-d-glucose 1-phosphate (β-G1P) with the inversion of the anomeric configuration. Kinetic parameters of the phosphorolytic activity
on nigerose were k
cat = 67 s−1 and K
m = 1.7 mM. This enzyme did not phosphorolyze substrates for the typical GH65 enzymes such as trehalose, maltose, and trehalose
6-phosphate except for a weak phosphorolytic activity on kojibiose. It showed the highest reverse phosphorolytic activity
in the reverse reaction using d-glucose as the acceptor and β-G1P as the donor, and the product was mostly nigerose at the early stage of the reaction. The
enzyme also showed reverse phosphorolytic activity, in a decreasing order, on d-xylose, 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol, d-galactose, and methyl-α-d-glucoside. All major products were α-1,3-glucosyl disaccharides, although the reaction with d-xylose and methyl-α-d-glucoside produced significant amounts of α-1,2-glucosides as by-products. We propose 3-α-d-glucosyl-d-glucose:phosphate β-d-glucosyltransferase as the systematic name and nigerose phosphorylase as the short name for this Cphy1874 protein. 相似文献

The use of lactic acid bacteria in fermentation of milk results in favorable physical and rheological properties due to in
situ exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. The EPS from S. thermophilus ST1 produces highly viscous aqueous solutions and its structure has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Notably, all aspects
of the elucidation of its primary structure including component analysis and absolute configuration of the constituent monosaccharides
were carried out by NMR spectroscopy. An array of techniques was utilized including, inter alia, PANSY and NOESY-HSQC TILT
experiments. The EPS is composed of hexasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: → 3)[α-d-Glcp-(1 → 4)]-β-d-Galp-(1 → 4)-β-d-Glcp-(1 → 4)[β-d-Galf-(1 → 6)]-β-d-Glcp-(1 → 6)-β-d-Glcp-(1 →, in which the residues in square brackets are terminal groups substituting backbone sugar residues that consequently
are branch-points in the repeating unit of the polymer. Thus, the EPS consists of a backbone of four sugar residues with two
terminal sugar residues making up two side-chains of the repeating unit. The molecular mass of the polymer was determined
using translational diffusion experiments which resulted in Mw = 62 kDa, corresponding to 64 repeating units in the EPS. 相似文献

The aim of this review is to highlight updated results on the biologically active saponins from Leguminosae-Mimosoideae. Acacic
acid-type saponins (AATS), is a class of very complex glycosides possessing a common aglycon unit of the oleanane-type (acacic
acid = 3β, 16α, 21β trihydroxy-olean-12-en-28 oic acid), having various oligosaccharide moieties at C-3 and C-28 and an acyl
group at C-21. About sixty molecules of this type have been actively explored in recent years from Leguminosae family, from
a chemical point of view and some fifty were reported to possess cancer related activities. These include cytotoxic/antitumor,
immunomodulatory, antimutagenic, and apoptosis inducing properties and appear to depend on the acylation and esterification
by different moieties at C-21 and C-28 of the acacic acid-type aglycone. One can observe that the (6S) configuration of the outer monoterpenyl moiety (MT) seems more potent in mediating high cytotoxicity than its (6R) isomer. Furthermore, the trisaccharide moiety {β-d-Xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-Fucopyranosyl-(1→6)- N-Acetamido 2-β-d-Glucopyranosyl-} at C-3, the tetrasaccharide moiety {β-d-Glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α-L-Arabinofuranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-Rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-Glucopyranosyl} at C-28 of the aglycone, and the inner MT hydroxylated at its C-9, having a (6S) configuration can be important substituent patterns for the induction of apoptosis of AATS. Because of their interesting
cytotoxic/apoptosis inducing activity, some AATS can be useful in the search for new potential antitumor agents from Fabaceae.
Furthermore, the sequence 28-O-{Glc-(1→3)-[Araf-(1→4)]-Rha-(1→2)-Glc-Acacic acid}, often encountered in the genera Acacia, Albizia, Archidendron, and Pithecellobium may represent a chemotaxonomic marker of the Mimosoideae subfamily. 相似文献

In this study, the airborne and dust-borne concentrations of endotoxin, (1,3)-β-d-glucan and five house dust allergens were measured in office, home, and outdoor environments both in New Haven, United States
and Nanjing, China. Air samples were collected using a BioSampler at a flow rate of 12.5 l/min for 30 min. Dust samples were
simultaneously collected using a surface sampler. Dust samples went through extraction and dilution before analysis, while
air samples were analyzed directly. Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) Pyrochrome and Glucatell assays were used to quantify
endotoxin and (1,3)-β-d-glucan concentration levels, respectively. Enzyme-linked sorbent assay was used to measure the dust mites, cat, dog, and
cockroach allergens. The experimental results indicated that endotoxin, (1,3)-β-d-glucan and allergen concentrations vary greatly both with samples and environments. In all tested environments, endotoxin
concentration ranged from 0.8 to 83.7 ng/m3 for air, and 7.8 to 14.3 ng/mg for dust. (1,3)-β-d-glucan concentration ranged from 0.1 to 9.8 ng/m3 for air, and 6.6 to 110 ng/mg for dust. Cockroach allergens were detected only in New Haven office and outdoor environments,
and other allergens ranged from 0.1 to 90 ng/mg for dust samples, and from 1.5 to 1,282 ng/m3 for air samples. In general, similar profiles of allergens and toxins were observed in New Haven and Nanjing environments.
Linear regression analysis showed that there were better endotoxin and (1,3)-β-d-glucan linear correlations (R
2 = 0.78, 0.87, respectively) between the dust and air samples compared to those of the allergens Der f 1 and Der p 1 (R
2 = 0.5, 0.7, respectively). This research contributes to the development of robust biological exposure assessment and the
elaboration of airborne and dust-borne bio-mass in the living environments. 相似文献

5′-O-β-d-Galactosyl-floxuridine, a potential novel prodrug, was synthesized with a yield of 75% through β-galactosidase-catalyzed transgalactosylation. This enzyme displayed absolute regioselectivity toward the 5′-position of floxuridine.
For the reaction, the optimal conditions were pH 6.5 at 45°C for 60 h with floxuridine to o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactoside at 2:1 (mol/mol). Under these conditions, the initial reaction rate and the maximum yield were 0.28 mM h−1 and 75%, respectively. 相似文献

A β-d-glucan obtained from Aureobasidium pullulans (AP-FBG) exhibits various biological activities: it exhibits antitumour and antiosteoporotic effects and prevents food allergies.
An unambiguous structural characterisation of AP-FBG is still awaited. The biological effects of β-d-glucan are known to depend on its primary structures, conformation, and molecular weight. Here, we elucidate the primary
structure of AP-FBG by NMR spectroscopy, and evaluate its biological activities. Its structure was shown to comprise a mixture
of a 1-3-β-d-glucan backbone with single 1-6-β-d-glucopyranosyl side-branching units every two residues (major structure) and a 1-3-β-d-glucan backbone with single 1-6-β-d-glucopyranosyl side-branching units every three residues (minor structure). Furthermore, this β-d-glucan exhibited immunostimulatory effects such as the accumulation of immune cells and priming effects against enterobacterium.
To our knowledge, 1-3-β-glucans like AP-FBG with such a high number of 1-6-β-glucopyranosyl side branching have a unique structure;
nevertheless, many 1-3-β-glucans were isolated from various sources, e.g. fungi, bacteria, and plants. 相似文献

The denatured monomers of an integral membrane protein OmpF porin were refolded and reassembled into its sodium dodecyl sulfate-resistant
trimer in mixtures of n-octyl β-d-glucopyranoside and lipids. Effective reassembly was observed with a yield of 60–70% when the denatured monomers (0.1 mg/mL)
were solubilized at 25 °C for 24 h in a refolding medium (pH 6.9) containing 7 mg/mL n-octyl β-d-glucopyranoside, 1 mg/mL sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2–2.5 mg/mL soybean asolectin. The reassembled species was characterized
in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate by physicochemical methods. Low-angle laser light scattering measurements revealed
that the molecular weight of the reassembled species is 115,000 ± 3,500 which corresponds to that of the trimer of this protein.
Circular dichroism spectra suggested that the reassembled species is composed of the same β-structure as the native one. Synchrotron
radiation small-angle X-ray scattering measurements confirmed that the reassembled species is a trimer that has the same compactness
as the native one. 相似文献

The biocatalytic ability of transgenic crown galls of Panax quinquefolium was evaluated by using eugenol (1) as a substrate and suspension cultures of Nicotiana tabacum as control system. Three biotransformed products, namely: 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)phenyl-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2, 67.11%), 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)phenyl-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (6′ → 1″)-β-d-xylopyranoside (3, 2.85%) and methyl eugenol (4, 14.30%) were obtained after 5 days of administration of eugenol to the suspension cultures of transgenic crown galls of
P. quinquefolium. In contrast, only one product, compound 2 (15.41%), was obtained in suspension cultures of N. tabacum after 5 days of incubation. The results indicated that the glycosylation ability of transgenic crown galls of P. quinquefolium was much higher than that of the cultured cells of N. tabacum. 相似文献

Exogenously applied ABA-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (ABA-GE) inhibited shoot growth of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), Digitaria sanguinalis L., timothy (Pheleum pratense L.) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) seedlings at concentrations greater than 0.1 μM. The growth inhibitory activity of ABA-GE on these shoots was 26–40% of
that of (+)-ABA. ABA-β-d-glucosidase activities in these seedlings were 11–31 nmol mg−1 protein min−1. These results suggests that exogenously applied ABA-GE may be absorbed by plant roots and hydrolyzed by ABA-β-d-glucosidase, and liberated free ABA may induce the growth inhibition in these plants. Thus, although ABA-GE had been thought
to be physiologically inactive ABA conjugate, ABA-GE may have important physiological functions rather than an inactive conjugated
ABA form. 相似文献

β-d-Xylosidase/α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Selenomonas ruminantium is the most active enzyme reported for catalyzing hydrolysis of 1,4-β-d-xylooligosaccharides to d-xylose. One property that could use improvement is its relatively high affinities for d-glucose and d-xylose (K
i ~ 10 mM), which would impede its performance as a catalyst in the saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass for the production
of biofuels and other value-added products. Previously, we discovered that the W145G variant expresses K
i
d-glucose and K
i
d-xylose twofold and threefold those of the wild-type enzyme. However, in comparison to the wild type, the variant expresses 11% lower
k
cat
d-xylobiose and much lower stabilities to temperature and pH. Here, we performed saturation mutagenesis of W145 and discovered that the
variants express K
i values that are 1.5–2.7-fold (d-glucose) and 1.9–4.6-fold (d-xylose) those of wild-type enzyme. W145F, W145L, and W145Y express good stability and, respectively, 11, 6, and 1% higher
k
cat
d-xylobiose than that of the wild type. At 0.1 M d-xylobiose and 0.1 M d-xylose, kinetic parameters indicate that W145F, W145L, and W145Y catalytic activities are respectively 46, 71, and 48% greater
than that of the wild-type enzyme. 相似文献
