The 3'-, 4'-, and 6'-deoxy analogs of UDP-GlcpNAc have been synthesized chemically and found to act as donor-substrates for N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-I (GnT-I) from human milk. Incubation of UDP-GlcpNAc and these deoxy analogs with GnT-I in the presence of alpha-D-Manp-(1----3)-[alpha-D-Manp-(1----6)]-beta-D-Manp -O(CH2)8COOMe gave beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1----3)-[alpha-D-Manp- (1----6)]- beta-D-Manp-O(CH2)8COOMe (6), and the deoxy analogs 12-14 where HO-3, HO-4, and HO-6, respectively, of the beta-D-GlcNAc residue were replaced by hydrogen. The tetrasaccharide glycosides 6 and 12-14 were characterized by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy and evaluated as acceptors for GnT-II, the next enzyme in the pathway of biosynthesis of Asn-linked oligosaccharides. Deoxygenation of the 3-position of the beta-D-GlcNAc residue of 6 completely abolished its acceptor activity, whereas removal of HO-4 or HO-6 caused only modest decreases in activity.  相似文献

5'-Nucleotidase, an integral glycoprotein enzyme of the lymphocyte plasma membrane, is inhibited cooperatively by the lectin concanavalin A. Because divalent succinyl-concanavalin A is a poor enzyme inhibitor, both binding and lectin-induced cross-linking of 5'-nucleotidase may be necessary for inhibition. Succinyl-concanavalin A does not compete with concanavalin A for binding to the enzyme; however, maleyl-concanavalin A, another poor inhibitor, competes effectively with the parent lectin. Thus, maleyl-concanavalin A binds to the same site as concanavalin A but causes little inhibition, whereas succinyl-concanavalin A does not bind to this site. The monovalent lectin from Ricinus communis (RCA-60) is a more effective enzyme inhibitor than the related divalent lectin (RCA-120), and inactivation of the second low-affinity sugar binding site on RCA-60 does not abolish inhibition, suggesting that multivalent cross-linking is not required for 5'-nucleotidase inhibition. Peanut and wheat germ agglutinins do not inhibit the enzyme, whereas lectins from lentil, pea, soybean, Griffonia simplicifolia, and Phaseolus vulgaris inhibit 5'-nucleotidase with various degrees of effectiveness. The only lectin showing strong positive cooperativity in its interaction with 5'-nucleotidase is concanavalin A.  相似文献

Abstract— Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled lectins were used to identify lectin-binding glycoproteins of the chromaffin granule after electrophoresis of the membrane and soluble granule proteins on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide slab gels. The glycoprotein nature of all lectin-binding bands was confirmed by staining the gels for carbohydrates, and the specificity of the lectin-binding was demonstrated by hapten sugar inhibition of binding. In samples of granule membrane proteins reduced with dithiothreitol 10 concanavalin A (Con A), 5 wheat germ agglutinin, 8 Ricinus communis agglutinin-60, and 7 Ricinus communis agglutinin-120 (RCA-120) binding glycoproteins were identified. Molecular weights of these glycoproteins varied from 20,000 to 200,000 daltons. All but two of the Con A-binding bands and one of the RCA-120 binding bands appeared to react with more than one lectin, suggesting possible carbohydrate heterogeneity in these membrane glycoproteins. The band identified as dopamine β-hydroxylase reacted most intensely with all four lectin tested, and in the soluble core material this enzyme was the sole significant lectin binding glycoprotein.  相似文献

The X-ray crystal structure of a complex between ribonuclease T1 and guanylyl(3'-6')-6'-deoxyhomouridine (GpcU) has been determined at 2. 0 A resolution. This ligand is an isosteric analogue of the minimal RNA substrate, guanylyl(3'-5')uridine (GpU), where a methylene is substituted for the uridine 5'-oxygen atom. Two protein molecules are part of the asymmetric unit and both have a GpcU bound at the active site in the same manner. The protein-protein interface reveals an extended aromatic stack involving both guanines and three enzyme phenolic groups. A third GpcU has its guanine moiety stacked on His92 at the active site on enzyme molecule A and interacts with GpcU on molecule B in a neighboring unit via hydrogen bonding between uridine ribose 2'- and 3'-OH groups. None of the uridine moieties of the three GpcU molecules in the asymmetric unit interacts directly with the protein. GpcU-active-site interactions involve extensive hydrogen bonding of the guanine moiety at the primary recognition site and of the guanosine 2'-hydroxyl group with His40 and Glu58. On the other hand, the phosphonate group is weakly bound only by a single hydrogen bond with Tyr38, unlike ligand phosphate groups of other substrate analogues and 3'-GMP, which hydrogen-bonded with three additional active-site residues. Hydrogen bonding of the guanylyl 2'-OH group and the phosphonate moiety is essentially the same as that recently observed for a novel structure of a RNase T1-3'-GMP complex obtained immediately after in situ hydrolysis of exo-(Sp)-guanosine 2',3'-cyclophosphorothioate [Zegers et al. (1998) Nature Struct. Biol. 5, 280-283]. It is likely that GpcU at the active site represents a nonproductive binding mode for GpU [Steyaert, J., and Engleborghs (1995) Eur. J. Biochem. 233, 140-144]. The results suggest that the active site of ribonuclease T1 is adapted for optimal tight binding of both the guanylyl 2'-OH and phosphate groups (of GpU) only in the transition state for catalytic transesterification, which is stabilized by adjacent binding of the leaving nucleoside (U) group.  相似文献

The effect of a "bisecting" 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl group, linked (1----4) to the beta-D-mannopyranosyl group of asparagine-linked complex and hybrid oligosaccharides, on the binding of [14C]acetylated glycopeptides to columns of immobilized concanavalin A (Con A), Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin (E-PHA), and Ricinus communis agglutinin-120 (RCA-120) was investigated. The presence of this "bisecting" GlcNAc group caused significant inhibition of the binding to ConA-agarose of biantennary complex glycopeptides in which the two branches are terminated at their nonreducing ends by two GlcNAc groups, or by a Gal and a GlcNAc group, or by two Gal groups, or by a Man and a GlcNAc group. Binding of biantennary, complex glycopeptides to E-PHA-agarose required a "bisecting" GlcNAc group, a Gal group at the nonreducing terminus of the alpha-D-Man-p-(1----6) branch, and a terminal or internal GlcNAc residue linked beta-(1----2) to the alpha-D-Manp-(1----3) branch. Binding to RCA-120-agarose occurred only when at least one nonreducing terminal Gal group was present, and increased as the proportion of terminal Gal groups increased; the presence of a "bisecting" GlcNAc group caused either enhancement or inhibition of these binding patterns. It is concluded that a "bisecting" GlcNAc group affects the binding of glycopeptides to all three lectin columns.  相似文献

P-glycoprotein, a hydrophobic 170-kDa integral protein overexpressed in the plasma membrane of multidrug-resistant cells, is proposed to function as an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump. Plasma membrane preparations highly enriched in P-glycoprotein were isolated from multidrug-resistant cells by discontinuous sucrose gradient and Ca2+ precipitation methods. Several strategies were used for P-glycoprotein purification, with the goal being to achieve both good yields and purity, while keeping experimental manipulation to a minimum. P-glycoprotein was solubilized from the plasma membrane using 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate. Immunoaffinity chromatography using C219 monoclonal antibody produced low yields of moderately pure protein. Sequential lectin affinity chromatography on RCA-120 followed by lentil lectin resulted in a P-glycoprotein preparation that showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A fraction of P-glycoprotein did not bind to RCA-120, most likely as a result of heterogeneous glycosylation. A combination of chromatography on RCA-120 followed by immunoaffinity chromatography on C219 resulted in low yields of very pure P-glycoprotein.  相似文献

Attempts to further optimize the pyrazole factor Xa inhibitors centered on masking the aryl aniline P4 moiety. Scaffold optimization resulted in the identification of a novel bicyclic pyrazolo-pyridinone scaffold which retained fXa potency. The novel bicyclic scaffold preserved all binding interactions observed with the monocyclic counterpart and importantly the carboxamido moiety was integrated within the scaffold making it less susceptible to hydrolysis. These efforts led to the identification of 1-[3-aminobenzisoxazol-5'-yl]-3-trifluoromethyl-6-[2'-(3-(R)-hydroxy-N-pyrrolidinyl)methyl-[1,1']-biphen-4-yl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrazolo-[3,4-c]-pyridin-7-one 6f (BMS-740808), a highly potent (fXa Ki=30 pM) with a rapid onset of inhibition (2.7x10(7) M-1 s-1) in vitro, selective (>1000-fold over other proteases), efficacious in the AVShunt thrombosis model, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of blood coagulation factor Xa.  相似文献

To clarify the structure-activity relationships of flavonoids for antiallergic activity, the inhibitory effects of various flavonoids on the release of beta-hexosaminidase, as a marker of degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells, were examined. Among them, luteolin (IC(50)=3.0 microM), diosmetin (2.1 microM), and fisetin (3.0 microM) were found to show potent inhibitory activity, and the results suggested the following structural requirements of flavonoids: (1) the 2-3 double bond of flavones and flavonols is essential for the activity; (2) the 3- or 7-glycoside moiety reduced the activity; (3) as the hydroxyl groups at the 3'-, 4'-, 5-, 6-, and 7-positions increased in number, the inhibitory activities become stronger; (4) the flavonols with a pyrogallol type moiety (the 3',4',5'-trihydroxyl groups) at the B ring exhibited less activity than those with a phenol type moiety (the 4'-hydroxyl group) or catechol type moiety (the 3',4'-dihydroxyl groups) at the B ring; (5) the activities of flavones were stronger than those of flavonols; and (6) methylation of flavonols at the 3-position reduced the activity. However, (7) several flavones and flavonols with the 4'- and/or 7-methoxyl groups did not obey rules (3), (4), and (5). In addition, several flavonoids, that is apigenin, luteolin, diosmetin, fisetin, and quercetin, inhibited the antigen-IgE-mediated TNF-alpha and IL-4 production from RBL-2H3 cells, both of which participate in the late phase of type I allergic reactions.  相似文献

The details of the interaction between two mutants of Cyanovirin-N (CV-N), an HIV inactivating protein, and di- and trimannosides, substructures of Man-9, were investigated by STD NMR spectroscopy. One mutant, CV-N (mutDB), contains only one carbohydrate-binding site on domain A, whereas in CV-N (mutDA), the specificity of domain A for trimannose was changed while the site in domain B was kept intact, allowing for a dissection of the overall binding. Results of the STD NMR experiments revealed close contact between the protein binding site on domain A and H2, H3, and H4 of the nonreducing terminal mannose unit for Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha OMe, Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha(1-3)Manalpha OMe, and Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha(1-6)Manalpha OMe. The Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha OMe trisaccharide interacted with CV-N with the highest affinity. Further dissection of the interaction was achieved by NMR experiments with synthetic 2'-, 3'-, 4'-, and 6'-deoxy analogues of the disaccharide Manalpha(1-2)Manalpha OMe. STD and (1)H- (15)N HSQC NMR spectroscopy revealed that the 2'- and 6'-deoxy dimannosides were recognized by CV-N, whereas no binding was detected for the 3'- and 4'-deoxy sugars. These results demonstrate that the 3'- and 4'-hydroxyl groups on the terminal residue are engaged in key polar interactions with the protein and are required for high-affinity binding.  相似文献
