The Lipid A from the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was examined by high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). The backbone structure and the position of phosphate substituents were unambiguously established by one- and two-dimensional 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR techniques on a de-O-acylated Lipid A sample. The Lipid A has a beta-(1,6)-glucosamine disaccharide structure which is substituted by phosphomonoesters through glycosidic bonds at C-1 and at C-4'. The configuration of the glycosidically linked phosphate at position C-1 was identified as alpha which is the same as that of Enterobacterial Lipid A. Chemical analysis revealed that the Lipid A contained 2-hydroxydodecanoic, 3-hydroxydodecanoic, dodecanoic, 3-hydroxydecanoic, and hexadecanoic acids in the approximate molar ratios 2.2:2.0:0.2:0.8:0.4. From 1H NMR and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry on the de-O-acylated Lipid A, it was established that both glucosamine residues were N-acylated by 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid. The identity and positions of the ester bound fatty acids in the intact Lipid A were investigated by negative ion FAB-MS. In addition to the hexaacyl and pentaacyl Lipid A species, a tetraacyl species was identified. Heterogeneity due to hydroxylated and nonhydroxylated dodecanoic acid esters could be uniquely localized to the nonreducing beta-glucosamine residue from the fragmentation pattern observed in the negative ion FAB-MS. The complete structure of the Lipid A from P. aeruginosa will be useful in understanding the determinants responsible for the endotoxin activity of this molecule. 相似文献

Two benzophenanthrene alkaloids, 8-acetonyldihydronitidine and 8-acetonyldihydroavicine were isolated from Zanthoxylum tetraspermum stem bark along with liriodenine, sesamin, lichexanthone and (+)-piperitol-gamma,gamma-dimethylallylether. The species endemic to Sri Lanka, Z. caudatum, contained sesamin, savinin, liriodenine, decarine and 8-O-desmethyl-N-nornitidine. 8-Acetonyldihydronitidine and 8-acetonyldihydroavicine showed significant antibacterial activity while the former along with liriodenine was strongly antifungal. Savinin exhibited potent spermicidal activity. Both savinin and sesamin exhibited significant insecticidal activity. 相似文献

The objective of this report is to introduce the novel concept of utilizing sulfenamides as prodrugs for compounds containing an NH-acidic functionality, particularly weakly acidic amide-type functionalities (amides, ureas, carbamates, etc.). Included are the syntheses and physicochemical characterizations of some model sulfenamides to illustrate the promise of this new prodrug technology. 相似文献

Background
The nucleus is a complex cellular organelle and accurately defining its protein content is essential before any systematic characterization can be considered.Results
We report direct evidence for 2,568 mammalian proteins within the nuclear proteome: the nuclear subcellular localization of 1,529 proteins based on a high-throughput subcellular localization protocol of full-length proteins and an additional 1,039 proteins for which clear experimental evidence is documented in published literature. This is direct evidence that the nuclear proteome consists of at least 14% of the entire proteome. This dataset was used to evaluate computational approaches designed to identify additional nuclear proteins.Conclusion
This represents direct experimental evidence that the nuclear proteome consists of at least 14% of the entire proteome. This high-quality nuclear proteome dataset was used to evaluate computational approaches designed to identify additional nuclear proteins. Based on this analysis, researchers can determine the stringency and types of lines of evidence they consider to infer the size and complement of the nuclear proteome. 相似文献7.
The efficient delivery of nucleic acids as therapeutic agents is a major challenge in gene therapy. Peptides have recently emerged as a novel carrier for delivery of drugs and genes. C6M1 is a designed amphipathic peptide with the ability to form stable complexes with short interfering RNA (siRNA). The peptide showed a combination of random coil and helical structure in water but mainly adopted a helical conformation in the presence of anions or siRNA. Revealed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and microscopy techniques, the interaction of C6M1 and siRNA in water and HEPES led to complexes of ∼70 and ∼155 nm in size, respectively, but showed aggregates as large as ∼500 nm in PBS. The time-dependent aggregation of the complex in PBS was studied by DLS and fluorescence spectroscopy. At molar ratio of 15∶1, C6M1 was able to completely encapsulate siRNA; however, higher molar ratios were required to obtain stable complexes. Naked siRNA was completely degraded in 4 h in the solution of 50% serum; however C6M1 protected siRNA against serum RNase over the period of 24 h. Western blotting experiment showed ∼72% decrease in GAPDH protein level of the cells treated with C6M1-siRNA complexes while no significant knockdown was observed for the cells treated with naked siRNA. 相似文献

Escherichia coli serotype K44: an acidic capsular polysaccharide containing two 2-acetamido-2-deoxyhexoses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O8:K44 (A):H- (K44 antigen) has been established using the techniques of methylation, beta-elimination, deamination, and Smith degradation. N.m.r. spectroscopy (13C and 1H) was used extensively to establish the nature of the anomeric linkages of the polysaccharide and of oligosaccharides derived through degradative procedures. The K antigen is comprised of repeating units of the linear tetrasaccharide shown. This acidic polysaccharide represents the first instance of an E. coli K antigen in this series (group A) that has been found to contain two different 2-acetamido-2-deoxyhexoses. 相似文献

Previous research has shown that two local isolates of bacteria (Pantoea agglomerans and Flavobacterium sp.) are capable of biocontrol of the two main pathogens (Colletotrichum musae and Lasiodiplodia theobromae) known to cause crown rot on “Embul” (Musa, AAB) banana. In this investigation an attempt was made to elucidate the comparative virulence of these pathogens and to
determine the underlying biocontrol mechanisms. L. theobromae was more virulent, causing faster spread of the disease, whereas C. musae was more resistant to the bacterial antagonists. Viable cells of the antagonists were more effective at suppressing conidial
germination than cell-free culture media. It seemed that antifungal compounds acting on conidial germination may be heat stable
and those acting on mycelia may include heat labile compounds also. Considering the specialized roles observed for each pathogen
in terms of causing the disease, and in modes of control by antagonists, future field investigations on biocontrol should
consider the roles played by the pathogens and the antagonists.
