来源于Bacillus sp. AR9 D-海因酶半理性设计的研究

D-对羟基苯甘氨酸是一种重要的精细化工品，在制药行业具有广泛的应用前景。酶法是生产D-对羟基苯甘氨酸的主要手段，但由于缺乏高催化效率的酶而限制了D-对羟基苯甘氨酸的生产。为了提高来自Bacillus sp. AR9的D-海因酶（HYD）的催化效率，进而提高D-对羟基苯甘氨酸的产量，对HYD的底物结合通道进行分析，选取底物通道瓶颈处的氨基酸进行饱和突变和筛选，以提高HYD的催化效率。结果显示，突变体F159S、F159A和F65V的活性相较于野生型HYD分别提高了51%、40%和17%，通过对突变体F65V、F159S和双位点突变F65V/F159S的酶动力学研究发现，突变体的Km值基本与野生型HYD相似，而kcat是野生型HYD的1.3、1.9和2.0倍，最终双位点突变F65V/F159S的催化效率kcat/Km是野生型HYD的2.4倍。高催化效率突变体的获得，以及对突变体动力学的分析，对酶法制备D-对羟基苯甘氨酸具有重要的研究意义和应用价值。

Studies on the light-dependent synthesis of inorganic pyrophosphate by Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores

Characteristics of inorganic pyrophosphate synthesis from inorganic orthophosphate were examined in chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum. The application of an ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase-trapping system has shown in an unequivocal fashion that pyrophosphate is a product of a light-dependent reaction utilizing P(i) as the substrate. Only very limited pyrophosphate synthesis takes place in the dark. The rates of synthesis of both ATP and pyrophosphate were studied under conditions in which the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase and pyrophosphatase activities would normally make these substances unstable. The maximum rate of pyrophosphate synthesis was 25% of that for ATP synthesis, with maximum activation of pyrophosphate synthesis occurring at a lower light-intensity than that required for ATP synthesis. As a result, at low light-intensity the rate of pyrophosphate formation approached that of ATP. Maximal rates of synthesis of both pyrophosphate and ATP were attained only on the addition of an exogenous reducing agent. Conditions for optimum pyrophosphate synthesis required about one-half of the concentration of the reductant required for maximum ATP synthesis. Consistent with previous reports, oligomycin inhibited ATP synthesis, but had little influence on the rate of pyrophosphate synthesis. In membrane particles that retained pyrophosphatase activity but were treated to remove adenosine triphosphatase activity and the ability to photophosphorylate ADP, oligomycin stimulated light-dependent pyrophosphate synthesis by nearly 250%. The influence of Mg(2+) concentration, pH and various inhibitors and uncouplers on pyrophosphate synthesis was studied. The results are discussed with respect to the mechanism and function of electron-transport-coupled energy conservation in R. rubrum chromatophores.     

Higher intracellular levels of uridinemonophosphate under nitrogen-limited conditions enhance metabolic flux of curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium species

Changes of intracellular nucleotide levels and their stimulatory effects on curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium species were investigated under different culture conditions. Under nitrogen-limited conditions where curdlan synthesis was stimulated, intracellular levels of UMP were as high as 87 and those of AMP were 78 nmol/mg of cellular protein, while those under nitrogen-sufficient conditions were lower than 45 nmol/mg-protein. The levels of other nucleotides such as UDP, UTP, UDP-glucose, ADP, ATP, and ADP-glucose were lower than 30 nmol/mg-protein under both nitrogen-limited and sufficient conditions. The time profiles of curdlan synthesis and cellular nucleotide levels showed that curdlan synthesis had a positive relationship with intracellular levels of UMP and AMP. After the ammonium concentration in the medium fell below 0.1 g/L, intracellular levels of UMP and AMP increased, followed by curdlan synthesis. However, no significant changes in the specific activities of UMP kinase, UDP kinase, and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase were observed during cultivation. In vitro enzyme reactions for the synthesis of UDP-glucose, which serve as a precursor for curdlan synthesis, demonstrated that the synthesis of UDP-glucose increased with the increase of UMP concentration. In contrast, AMP had no effect on UDP-glucose synthesis at all. Addition of UMP in the medium increased the curdlan synthesis, whereas curdlan synthesis was inhibited in the presence of AMP. From these results, we concluded that only the higher intracellular UMP levels caused by nitrogen limitation in the medium enhance the metabolic flux of curdlan synthesis by promoting cellular UDP-glucose synthesis.     

Enhanced sterol synthesis in concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes: correlation with phospholipid synthesis and DNA synthesis.

Incorporation of (14C)choline and (3H)myo-inositol into the total lipid fraction, incorporation of (14C)acetate into the sterol fraction and incorporation of (3H)thymidine into DNA were studied in human lymphocyte cultures. Concanavalin A induced an increase in the incorporation of these labels with the following features: (a) Phospholipid synthesis was increased promptly. The lag time for the increase in sterol synthesis and DNA synthesis were 5 hours and 27 hours respectively; (b) The increase in phospholipid synthesis and sterol synthesis was proportional to ConA concentration initially. Cells treated with a high concentration of ConA showed very low levels of DNA synthesis; (c) The increase in phospholipid synthesis could be abolished immediately by alpha-Methyl-Mannoside. alpha-Methyl-Mannoside blunted but did not abolish the increase in sterol synthesis. alpha-Methyl-Mannoside enhanced DNA synthesis of those cells which had been treated by a high concentration of ConA; and (d) Selective inhibition of sterol synthesis with 25-hydroxycholesterol did not prevent the increase in phospholipid synthesis, but it blocked the increase in DNA synthesis. Supplement of LDL, HDL or total lipoproteins to lymphocyte cultures was effective in preventing the inhibition of DNA synthesis by 25-hydroxy-cholesterol. These results suggest that in lymphocyte activation by ConA phospholipid synthesis, sterol synthesis and DNA synthesis were sequentially increased. The rate of cellular commitment to mitogenesis was proportional to ConA concentrations. High concentrations of ConA arrested the cell growth at a postcommitment point in the G1 phase. Enhanced phospholipid synthesis was a precommitment event. Enhanced sterol synthesis was a postcommitment event and reflected the requirement of an increased cholesterol supply for the passage of cell growth through G1.     

The inhibition of tryptophan hydroxylase, not protein synthesis, reduces the brain trapping of α-methyl-l-tryptophan: an autoradiographic study

The effects of the tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) inhibitor p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA; 200mg/kg; 3 days), and of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CXM, 2mg/kg), on regional serotonin (5-HT) synthesis were studied using the alpha-[14C]methyl-L-tryptophan (alpha-[14C]MTrp) autoradiographic method. The objectives of these investigations were to evaluate the changes, if any, on 5-HT synthesis, as measured with alpha-MTrp method, following the inhibition of TPH by PCPA, or the inhibition of proteins synthesis by CXM. The rats were used in the tracer experiment approximately 24h after the last dose of PCPA was administered, and in the CXM experiments, they were used 30 min following a single injection of CXM. In both experiments, the control rats were injected with the same volume of saline (0.5 ml/kg; s.c.) and at the same times as the drug injections. The results demonstrate that trapping of alpha-MTrp, which is taken to be related to brain 5-HT synthesis, is drastically reduced (40-80%) following PCPA treatment. The inhibition of protein synthesis with CXM did not have a significant effect on the global brain trapping of alpha-MTrp and 5-HT synthesis. These findings suggest that the brain trapping of alpha-[14C]MTrp relates to brain 5-HT synthesis, but not to brain protein synthesis.     

Insulin and amino acids independently stimulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis in neonatal pigs

Infusion of physiological levels of insulin and/or amino acids reproduces the feeding-induced stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in neonates. To determine whether insulin and amino acids independently stimulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis in neonates, insulin secretion was blocked with somatostatin in fasted 7-day-old pigs (n = 8-12/group) while glucose and glucagon were maintained at fasting levels and insulin was infused to simulate either less than fasting, fasting, intermediate, or fed insulin levels. At each dose of insulin, amino acids were clamped at either the fasting or fed level; at the highest insulin dose, amino acids were also reduced to less than fasting levels. Skeletal muscle protein synthesis was measured using a flooding dose of l-[4-(3)H]phenylalanine. Hyperinsulinemia increased protein synthesis in skeletal muscle during hypoaminoacidemia and euaminoacidemia. Hyperaminoacidemia increased muscle protein synthesis during hypoinsulinemia and euinsulinemia. There was a dose-response effect of both insulin and amino acids on muscle protein synthesis. At each insulin dose, hyperaminoacidemia increased muscle protein synthesis. The effects of insulin and amino acids on muscle protein synthesis were largely additive until maximal rates of protein synthesis were achieved. Amino acids enhanced basal protein synthesis rates but did not enhance the sensitivity or responsiveness of muscle protein synthesis to insulin. The results suggest that insulin and amino acids independently stimulate protein synthesis in skeletal muscle of the neonate.     

Control of Neuronal Size Homeostasis by Trophic Factor–mediated Coupling of Protein Degradation to Protein Synthesis

We demonstrate that NGF couples the rate of degradation of long-lived proteins in sympathetic neurons to the rate of protein synthesis. Inhibiting protein synthesis rate by a specific percentage caused an almost equivalent percentage reduction in the degradation rate of long-lived proteins, indicating nearly 1:1 coupling between the two processes. The rate of degradation of short-lived proteins was unaffected by suppressing protein synthesis. Included in the pool of proteins that had increased half-lives when protein synthesis was inhibited were actin and tubulin. Both of these proteins, which had half-lives of several days, exhibited no degradation over a 3-d period when protein synthesis was completely suppressed. The half-lives of seven other long-lived proteins were quantified and found to increase by 84–225% when protein synthesis was completely blocked.Degradation–synthesis coupling protected cells from protein loss during periods of decreased synthesis. The rate of protein synthesis greatly decreased and coupling between degradation and synthesis was lost after removal of NGF. Uncoupling resulted in net loss of cellular protein and somatic atrophy. We propose that coupling the rate of protein degradation to that of protein synthesis is a fundamental mechanism by which neurotrophic factors maintain homeostatic control of neuronal size and perhaps growth.     

Studies of Rapidly Induced Wound Ethylene Synthesis by Excised Sections of Etiolated Pisum sativum L., cv. Alaska: IV. Requirement of a Water-soluble, Heat-stable Factor

The rate of wound ethylene synthesis was reduced by more than 85% when 9-millimeter subapical sections of etiolated 7-day-old Pisum sativum L., cv. Alaska seedlings were incubated in water during the 26-minute induction period prior to wound ethylene synthesis, but the rate of synthesis was unaffected if sections were incubated in water during the actual synthesis of wound ethylene. The characteristic timing of the wound response was unaffected by either treatment. The ability of various chemical solutions and aqueous plant extracts to alter the rate of wound ethylene synthesis was studied by first incubating subapical pea stem sections in solutions under anaerobic conditions (anaerobiosis delays the induction and synthesis of wound ethylene; Plant Physiol 61: 675-679), and then measuring wound ethylene synthesis after the tissue was transferred to air. Solutions of several reported precursors of ethylene synthesis, such as methionine, homoserine, or propanal, did not reverse the water-caused reduction of wound ethylene synthesis. A water-soluble, heat-stable factor in extracts from pea seedlings, and solutions of 23 nanomolar triacontanol, 10 micromolar kinetin, or 10 micromolar benzyladenine prevented the reduction of wound ethylene synthesis, but were ineffective if administered after an initial 15-minute anaerobic water incubation. This suggested that the active solutions may have only prevented the loss of some ephemeral, though necessary factor, rather than actually containing the substrate or inducer of wound ethylene synthesis. Attempts to isolate and characterize the active fraction from aqueous tissue extracts were unsuccessful. Free radical quenchers, inhibitors of protein synthesis, and rhizobitoxine, an inhibitor of ethylene synthesis from methionine, all reduced wound ethylene synthesis when administered in solutions which previously had maintained wound ethylene synthesis.     

The effect of parabens on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis

The effect of methyl, propyl and butyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid on DNA and RNA synthesis has been tested in toluenized cells of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Both RNA and DNA synthesis of these bacteria were inhibited. The inhibitory concentrations were higher than those previously reported for growth inhibition. Protein synthesis in cell-free extracts (S-30 fraction) of B. subtilis was even more sensitive to parabens than DNA and RNA synthesis, while protein synthesis in Esch. coli was largely unaffected.     

一种新的等温单向生长基因合成法初步探索

基因合成正日益成为基因获取的一种有效手段。两种常用的基因合成方法是基于PCR的基因合成（P法）和基于连接酶的基因合成(L法)。这两种方法都不是独立于所合成基因的序列内容的。文章首次提出了一种新的基因合成策略—等温单向生长法(Isothermal Unidirectional Elongation Method, IUEM), 在3种酶的作用下, DNA链在等温状态下单向串行延伸, 直到获得目标基因。由于引物设计成特殊的发夹结构, 该方法可以做到合成过程独立于或部分独立于目标基因的序列内容。本文探索了该策略的实验可行性, 检测了影响基因合成的各种因素, 并利用该方法成功地合成了一段254 bp和一段300 bp的DNA序列。     

Stimulation of sterol and DNA synthesis in leukemic blood cells by low concentrations of phytohemagglutinin

The response of leukemic cells from AKR/J mice to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was compared with that of normal lymphocytes. PHA stimulated first cholesterol synthesis and then DNA synthesis in both lymphocytes and leukemic cells. The neoplastic cells were, however, much more sensitive to PHA, requiring less time and a lower concentration of the lectin for optimum stimulation as compared to lymphocytes. In fact, the amount of PHA which was required to activate lymphocytes to proliferate, as measured by increases in sterol and DNA synthesis, was inhibitory to leukemic cells. The basal level of cholesterol synthesis and the induction of cholesterol synthesis following PHA activation were depressed in lymphocytes and leukemic cells by treatment with 25-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol. These two oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol are known to be potent and specific inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Blockage of sterol synthesis by these reagents also abolished PHA-activated DNA synthesis in lymphocytes and leukemic cells. The results support the hypothesis that the synthesis of cholesterol is an important event leading to cell proliferation.
