Oxidative Degradation of Starch by Free Radical Systems

A new method for preparation of chemically modified starch by means of free radical systems was developed. The method is characterized is that, aqueous starch suspension is treated with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of free radical-producing synergists such as ascorbic acid, hydrazine, or hydroxylamine to give products of remarkably reduced viscosity which can be regulated arbitrarily by use of appropriate levels of the reagents.

Chemical and physical changes in the modified starch together with the reaction mechanism were also studied.     

Degradation of Nucleic Acid Constituents by Free Radical Systems

Degradation of three nucleic acid bases, uracil, thymine and cytosine, by free radical systems containing ascorbic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide was found to occur when these two reagents were used in combination. Any significant differences in the mode of degradation were not observed among these pyrimidine bases. Ferrous ion added in this system intensified the degree of degradation.

Phosphate bond cleavage of mononucleotides by ascorbic acid—hydrogen peroxide was also demonstrated to occur in a lesser degree than other phosphate esters.

Special device of spectrometric determination of pyrimidine bases in the reaction system was worked out.     

pH对毕赤酵母表达重组人复合a干扰素的降解影响

使用Pichia pastoris表达重组人复合a干扰素(cIFN)会发生降解、聚合等不均一表达的现象。在5 L发酵罐中考察了不同诱导pH对cIFN表达产生降解的影响, 结果发现在适合酵母生长的pH 3.0~7.0范围内, 当诱导pH为4.0~5.0时, cIFN不均一表达现象最少, 生物活性达到2.5×108 IU/mL。通过测定发酵液中总蛋白酶活和细胞活性寻找了cIFN降解出现的原因：发现低诱导pH下细胞死亡率升高释放更多酶系, 高诱导pH下蛋白酶活性明显增大, 两者都使蛋白酶作用加强, 加剧cIFN的降解; 特别是诱导pH为7.0时, 适宜的pH使蛋白酶酶活陡升, 将cIFN完全降解。

Nematicidal action of chitinases produced by the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium under laboratorial conditions

Nematophagous fungi produce chitinases that may be important in the process of infection of eggs and larvae of nematodes. This study aimed to produce, purify, characterise and test the nematicidal action of extracellular chitinases produced by Monacrosporium thaumasium on Panagrellus redivivus. Mycelia from M. thaumasium were used to inoculate a solid medium for chitinase production. The enzymes were purified using a specific technique of adsorption for chitinases. The chitinase activity was determined at different pHs and temperatures. NF34 produced two distinct chitinases (27 and 30 kDa). After 72 hours, these enzymes provided a significant reduction (80%; p < 0.01) of the number of P. redivivus larvae, compared to control. It was shown that isolate NF34 produced chitinases with nematicidal activity. Thus, other experimental designs on geohelminths or even arthropods that transmit diseases may become a new aspect of the field of study of biological control using predatory nematophagous fungi.

Reactivity of Amylose and Dextran in Metal-Catalyzed Hydroxyl Radical Generating Systems

Chebulagic acid, isolated form Terminalia chebula Retz, proved to be a reversible and non-competitive inhibitor of maltase with a K _i value of 6.6 μM. The inhibitory influence of chebulagic acid on the maltase-glucoamylase complex was more potent than on the sucrase-isomaltase complex. The magnitude of α-glucosidase inhibition by chebulagic acid was greatly affected by its origin. These results show a use for chebulagic acid in managing type-2 diabetes.

Functional expression and stabilization of horseradish peroxidase by directed evolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology applications of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) would benefit from access to tailor-made variants with greater specific activity, lower K(m) for peroxide, and higher thermostability. Starting with a mutant that is functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we used random mutagenesis, recombination, and screening to identify HRP-C mutants that are more active and stable to incubation in hydrogen peroxide at 50 degrees C. A single mutation (N175S) in the HRP active site was found to improve thermal stability. Introducing this mutation into an HRP variant evolved for higher activity yielded HRP 13A7-N175S, whose half-life at 60 degrees C and pH 7.0 is three times that of wild-type (recombinant) HRP and a commercially available HRP preparation from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). The variant is also more stable in the presence of H(2)O(2), SDS, salts (NaCl and urea), and at different pH values. Furthermore, this variant is more active towards a variety of small organic substrates frequently used in diagnostic applications. Site-directed mutagenesis to replace each of the four methionine residues in HRP (M83, M181, M281, M284) with isoleucine revealed no mutation that significantly increased the enzyme's stability to hydrogen peroxide.     

Enzymatic characterization of an extracellular glucoamylase from Tricholoma matsutake and its cloning and secretory expression in Pichia pastoris

ABSTRACT

A glucoamylase from the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tricholoma matsutake (TmGLA) was purified 33.2-fold to homogeneity as a single monomeric glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 63.9 kDa. Maximum activity was observed at 60°C and pH 5.0. The enzyme is active down to 50°C and in the pH range of 4.0–6.0, and its activity is strongly inhibited by Ag⁺. It degrades α-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic linkages in various polysaccharides. Its gene (TmGlu1) was cloned using information from the enzyme’s internal amino acid sequences and the whole genome sequence of T. matsutake NBRC 30605. The deduced amino acid sequence showed clear homology with those of GH family 15 proteins. Pichia pastoris transformed with TmGlu1 secreted the active enzyme in a glycosylated form, and its characteristics were the same as the native enzyme.

Collagenase production in an Antarctic strain of Arthrobotrys tortor Jarowaja

This paper describes the results of a comparative screening between the nematophagous Antarctic fungus Arthrobotrys tortor and other species of that genus for the production of extracellular collagenases. The nematode species used in this study was Caenorhabditis elegans, feeding on Escherichia coli cultures. Determination of collagenase activity was made using insoluble collagen from bovine Achilles tendon and determining the amount of solubilized hydroxyproline produced. The results show that the total amount of collagenase produced by the Antarctic strain of A. tortor was about threefold higher than that observed for the other species. In the Antarctic strain, collagenase was shown to be a constitutive enzyme. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Nematophagous Fungi Associated with Root Galls of Rice Caused by Meloidogyne graminicola and its Control by Arthrobotrys dactyloides and Dactylaria brochopaga

Root galls of rice caused by Meloidogyne graminicola were examined for natural colonization by nematophagous fungi from four fields with different nematode infestations. Old galls from severely infested fields had a higher frequency of Monacrosporium eudermatum and Stylopaga hadra than young galls. The frequency of Arthrobotrys oligospora, Arthrobotrys dactyloides, Dactylaria brochopaga and Monacrosporium gephyropagum was lower. A greater proportion (%) of root galls were colonized by nematophagous fungi in those fields in which rice roots had a greater root gall index. This indicated that disease severity supported the colonization of galls by nematophagous fungi. In vitro predacity tests of four fungi showed that A. dactyloides was most effective in capturing and killing J₂ of Mel. graminicola followed by D. brochopaga and Mon. eudermatum. Application of inocula of A. dactyloides and D. brochopaga in soil infested with Mel. graminicola, respectively, reduced the number of root galls by 86% and of females by 94%, and eggs and juveniles by 94%. The application of these fungi to soil increased plant growth: shoot length by 42.7% and 39.8%, root length by 45.5% and 48.9%, fresh weight of shoot by 59.9% and 56.7% and fresh weight of root by 20.3% and 25.1%, respectively, compared to these parameters for plants grown in nematode‐infested soil.

Relation of protease production to nematode-degrading ability of two Arthrobotrys spp.

A comparison of the nematode-destroying capability of two nematophagous Arthrobotrys spp. (coded ART-1 and ART-2), isolated from soil samples, showed that ART-1 (LD50=290conidia/ml) was more efficient than ART-2 (LD50=725conidia/ml). The two isolates produce extracellular proteases in liquid culture. The proteases from both isolates had a temperature optimum of 50°C. The optimum pH for protease activity was in the range of 7.5–8 for ART-1 and 7.5–9 for ART-2. ART-1 produced more protease activity (13.3±0.72U/ml) than ART-2 (10.9±0.375U/ml). The proteases from ART-1 were more efficient in degrading nematodes than those of ART-2 by virtue of being produced in a larger quantity. We suggest that the difference in the nematode-destroying capability between the two strains is solely the result of the difference in the amount of extracellular proteases they produce.
