A bacterium (strain HC1) capable of assimilating rice bran hemicellulose was isolated from a soil and identified as belonging
to the genus Paenibacillus through taxonomical and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Strain HC1 cells grown on rice bran hemicellulose as a sole carbon source
inducibly produced extracellular xylanase and intracellular glycosidases such as β-d-glucosidase and β-d-arabinosidase. One of them, β-d-glucosidase was further analyzed. A genomic DNA library of the bacterium was constructed in Escherichia coli and gene coding for β-d-glucosidase was cloned by screening for β-d-glucoside-degrading phenotype in E. coli cells. Nucleotide sequence determination indicated that the gene for the enzyme contained an open reading frame consisting
of 1,347 bp coding for a polypeptide with a molecular mass of 51.4 kDa. The polypeptide exhibits significant homology with
other bacterial β-d-glucosidases and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 1. β-d-Glucosidase purified from E. coli cells was a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 50 kDa most active at around pH 7.0 and 37°C. Strain HC1 glycosidases
responsible for degradation of rice bran hemicellulose are expected to be useful for structurally determining and molecularly
modifying rice bran hemicellulose and its derivatives. 相似文献

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.

1,3-1,4-β-d-glucanase is an important endoglycosidase in the brewing and animal feed industries. To achieve high-level expression of
recombinant glucanase in Pichia pastoris, we designed sequences encoding the α-factor signal peptide from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the truncated 1,3-1,4-β-d-glucanase from Fibrobacter succinogenes as a whole. The codons encoding the 52 amino acids of the signal peptide and 106 residues of the glucanase protein were optimized
for expression in P. pastoris; 189 nucleotides were changed. The G + C content was adjusted to 48–49%, and AT-rich stretches were eliminated to avoid premature
termination. The messenger ribonucleic acid secondary structure near the AUG start codon was also adjusted to ensure efficient
translation; the resulting glucanase production was twofold higher compared with that achieved with gene structure optimization
alone. We also propose a new fermentation strategy for the induction phase, in which 5/95% glycerol/methanol mixed feed was
used in days 1–3 and 100% methanol was used on days 4–6. By comparison with methanol feed and glycerol/methanol-mixed feed
alone, the yield of recombinant glucanase increased by 38.5 and 16.5%, respectively. The expressed optimized recombinant 1,3-1,4-β-d-glucanase constituted ~90% of the total secreted protein, reaching up to 3 g l−1 in the medium. 相似文献

Three different types of β-d-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) could be distinguished in rabbit tissues using electrophoretic procedures. (1) Acid β-d-galactosidase with a low mobility and maximal activity atpH 3–5 was found in the particulate fraction of various tissue homogenates. This enzyme hydrolyzed 4-methylumbelliferyl-d-galactoside, but no activity against other glycoside substrates could be demonstrated. The enzyme was inhibited by galactono-(1
→ 4)-lactone. (2) Lactose-hydrolyzing β-d-galactosidase with an intermediate mobility was found only in juvenile small intestine. Most of the activity was found in
the particulate fraction of the cell. The enzyme hydrolyzed several other synthetic glycoside substrates besides lactose.
It was most active atpH 5–6 and strongly inhibited by glucono-(1 → 5)-lactone but not much affected by galactono-(1 → 4)-lactone. (3) Neutral β-d-galactosidase with a fast mobility and maximal activity atpH 6–8 was found in the soluble fraction of homogenates from liver, kidney, and small intestine. This enzyme also showed a
broad substrate specificity; it possessed activity against aryl-β-d-glucoside, -fucoside, and -galactoside substrates but not against lactose. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by glucono-(1
→ 5)-lactone and (less) by galactone-(1 → 4)-lactone. Neutral β-d-galactosidase and neutral β-d-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) are probably identical enzymes in the rabbit. Individual variation, in both electrophoretic mobility
and activity, was found for neutral β-d-galactosidase. Genetic analysis of the electrophoretic variants revealed that two alleles at an autosomal locus are responsible
for this variation.

α-l-Arabinofuranosidase, α- and β-d-xylosidase, and β-d-glucosidase activity was detected in the soluble fraction (S-F) extracted with water and in the NaCl-released fraction (NaCl-F)
extracted with a high-salt concentration buffer from apple callus cultures. The activity was found to be differentially modulated
by the addition of various plant growth regulators (PGRs) to calluses that had lost their requirement for specific PGRs (“habituation”
phenomenon). α-l-Arabinofuranosidase activity was 93%, 130%, 126% and 186% higher in the NaCl-F from IAA-, IBA-, ABA- and GA3-treated callus than in that extracted from untreated callus while S-F α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity was only 71%, 24%, 55% and 66% higher, respectively. α-d-Xylosidase displayed low activity levels in both S-F and NaCl-F but 2iP-treated callus showed higher α-d-xylosidase activity in both fractions than the control. 2,4-D increased α-d-xylosidase activity by 110% in the NaCl-F but decreased it by 40% in the S-F. β-d-Xylosidase activity increased by 99% in S-F from 2iP-treated callus but slightly decreased in the NaCl-F. In GA3-treated callus, NaCl-F β-d-xylosidase activity increased by 188%. S-F and NaCl-F from Picloram-treated callus showed undetectable or only slightly noticeable
α-l-arabinofuranosidase, α-d-xylosidase and β-d-xylosidase activity. Interestingly, β-d-glucosidase activity rose 28-fold in the S-F extracted from Picloram-treated callus. β-d-glucosidase was the only enzyme assayed that greatly increased its NaCl-F activity after 10 subcultures, and the addition
of any PGR to the callus culture –except for Picloram and ABA– decreased its activity, suggesting that this enzyme may be
associated with certain stress conditions, such as PGR starvation or Picloram addition. This is the first report on glycoside
hydrolases from fruit callus as modulated by different PGRs. 相似文献

The gene encoding an α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Geobacillus caldoxylolyticus TK4, AbfATK4, was isolated, cloned, and sequenced. The deduced protein had a molecular mass of about 58 kDa, and analysis
of its amino acid sequence revealed significant homology and conservation of different catalytic residues with α-l-arabinofuranosidases belonging to family 51 of the glycoside hydrolases. A histidine tag was introduced at the N-terminal
end of AbfATK4, and the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, under control of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside-inducible T7 promoter. The enzyme was purified by nickel affinity
chromatography. The molecular mass of the native protein, as determined by gel filtration, was about 236 kDa, suggesting a
homotetrameric structure. AbfATK4 was active at a broad pH range (pH 5.0–10.0) and at a broad temperature range (40–85°C),
and it had an optimum pH of 6.0 and an optimum temperature of 75–80°C. The enzyme was more thermostable than previously described
arabinofuranosidases and did not lose any activity after 48 h incubation at 70°C. The protein exhibited a high level of activity
with p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside, with apparent K
m and V
max values of 0.17 mM and 588.2 U/mg, respectively. AbfATK4 also exhibited a low level of activity with p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside, with apparent K
m and V
max values of 1.57 mM and 151.5 U/mg, respectively. AbfATK4 released l-arabinose only from arabinan and arabinooligosaccharides. No endoarabinanase activity was detected. These findings suggest
that AbfATK4 is an exo-acting enzyme. 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

Traditional cultivation-dependent tests for coliform bacteria in food and drinking water take 18–24 h to complete. Bioluminescence-based
enzyme assays can potentially reduce analysis time for indicator bacteria such as coliforms. In the present study, we developed
a simple presence/absence (P/A) bioluminescence procedure for rapid detection of coliform bacteria in groundwater-based drinking
water. The bioluminescence procedure targeting β-d-galactosidase activity in coliform bacteria was based on hydrolysis of 6-O-β-galactopyranosyl-luciferin. Bacteria immobilized on membrane filters were enriched for 6–8 h in selective media containing
isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) to induce β-d-galactosidase activity in coliform bacteria. The equivalent of approximately 300 E. coli cells was required for bioluminescence detection of β-d-galactosidase activity. In comparison, PCR based detection of E. coli in drinking water required approximately 30 target cells. Analysis of contaminated drinking water samples showed comparable
results for coliform bacteria using traditional multiple-tube fermentation, Colilert-18, and the bioluminescence procedure.
Aeromonas hydrophila or indigenous groundwater bacteria did not interfere with the procedure. The bioluminescence procedure can be combined with
commercial substrates such as Fluorocult or Colilert-18, and will allow the detection of one coliform in 100 ml drinking water
within one working day. The results suggest the bioluminescence assays targeting β-d-galactosidase activity may be used for or for early warning screening of drinking water and/or rapid identification of contaminated
drinking water wells. 相似文献

Enzymatic 5′-monophosphorylation and 5′-phosphatidylation of a number of β-l- and β-d-nucleosides was investigated. The first reaction, catalyzed by nucleoside phosphotransferase (NPT) from Erwinia herbicola, consisted of the transfer of the phosphate residue from p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) to the 5′-hydroxyl group of nucleoside; the second was the phospholipase d (PLD)-catalyzed transphosphatidylation of l-α-lecithin with a series of β-l- and β-d-nucleosides as the phosphatidyl acceptor resulted in the formation of the respective phospholipid-nucleoside conjugates.
Some β-l-nucleosides displayed similar or even higher substrate activity compared to the β-d-enantiomers. 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.

An open reading frame encoding a putative bi-functional β-d-xylosidase/α-l-arabinosidase (Sso3032) was identified on the genome sequence of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2, the predicted gene product showing high amino-acid sequence similarity to bacterial and eukaryal individual β-d-xylosidases and α-l-arabinosidases as well as bi-functional enzymes such as the protein from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus and barley. The sequence was PCR amplified from genomic DNA of S. solfataricus P2 and heterologous gene expression obtained in Escherichia coli, under optimal conditions for overproduction. Specific assays performed at 75°C revealed the presence in the transformed
E. coli cell extracts of this archaeal activity involved in sugar hydrolysis and specific for both substrates. The recombinant protein
was purified by thermal precipitation of the host proteins and ethanol fractionation and other properties, such as high thermal
activity and thermostability could be determined. The protein showed a homo-tetrameric structure with a subunit of molecular
mass of 82.0 kDa which was in perfect agreement with that deduced from the cloned gene. Northern blot analysis of the xarS gene indicates that it is specifically induced by xylan and repressed by monosaccharides like d-glucose and l-arabinose. 相似文献

Using primary hepatocytes in culture, various 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAc) analogs were examined for their effects on the incorporation of D-[3H]glucosamine, [35S]sulfate, and L-[14C]leucine into cellular glycoconjugates. A series of acetylated GlcNAc analogs, namely methyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-(3) and β-D-glucopyranoside (4) and 2-acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (5), exhibited a concentration-dependent reduction of D-[3H]glucosamine, but not of [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), without affecting L-[14C]leucine incorporation into total protein synthesis. These results suggest that analogs 3–5 exhibit an inhibitory effect
on D-[3H]glucosamine incorporation into isolated GAGs by diluting the specific activity of cellular D-[3H]glucosamine and by competing for the same metabolic pathways. In the case of the corresponding series of 4-deoxy-GlcNAc
analogs, namely methyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-acetyl-2,4-dideoxy-α-(6) and β-D-xylo-hexopyranoside (7) and 2-acetamido-1,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-2,4-dideoxy-D-xylo-hexopyranose (8), compound 8 at 1.0 mM exhibited the greatest reduction of D-[3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated GAGs, namely to ∼7% of controls, and a moderate inhibition of total protein synthesis,
namely to 60% of controls. Exogenous uridine was able to restore the inhibition of total protein synthesis by compound 8 at
1.0 mM. Isolated GAGs from cultures treated with compound 8 were shown to be smaller in size (∼40 kDa) than for control cultures
(∼77 kDa). These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of compound 8 on cellular GAG synthesis may be mediated by the
incorporation of a 4-deoxy moiety into GAGs resulting in premature chain termination and/or by its serving as an enzymatic
inhibitor of the normal sugar metabolites. The inhibition of total protein synthesis from cultures treated with compound 8
suggests a uridine trapping mechanism which would result in the depletion of UTP pools and cause the inhibition of total protein
synthesis. A 1-deoxy-GlcNAc analog, namely 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-glucitol (9), also exhibited a reduction in both D -[3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated GAGs by 19 and 57%, of the control cells, respectively, at 1.0 mM without affecting
total protein synthesis. The inability of compound 9 to form a UDP-sugar and, hence, be incorporated into GAGs presents another
metabolic route for the inhibition of cellular GAG synthesis. Potential metabolic routes for each analog's effects are presented. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum R was metabolically engineered to broaden its sugar utilization range to d-xylose and d-cellobiose contained in lignocellulose hydrolysates. The resultant recombinants expressed Escherichia coli xylA and xylB genes, encoding d-xylose isomerase and xylulokinase, respectively, for d-xylose utilization and expressed C. glutamicum R bglF
317A
and bglA genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) β-glucoside-specific enzyme IIBCA component
and phospho-β-glucosidase, respectively, for d-cellobiose utilization. The genes were fused to the non-essential genomic regions distributed around the C. glutamicum R chromosome and were under the control of their respective constitutive promoter trc and tac that permitted their expression even in the presence of d-glucose. The enzyme activities of resulting recombinants increased with the increase in the number of respective integrated
genes. Maximal sugar utilization was realized with strain X5C1 harboring five xylA–xylB clusters and one bglF
317A
–bglA cluster. In both d-cellobiose and d-xylose utilization, the sugar consumption rates by genomic DNA-integrated strain were faster than those by plasmid-bearing
strain, respectively. In mineral medium containing 40 g l−1
d-glucose, 20 g l−1
d-xylose, and 10 g l−1
d-cellobiose, strain X5C1 simultaneously and completely consumed these sugars within 12 h and produced predominantly lactic
and succinic acids under growth-arrested conditions. 相似文献

5′-O-β-d-galactosyl-5-fluorouridine is a prodrug that can be converted by the enzyme β-d-galactosidase to the potent antineoplastic drug 5-fluorouridine. The prodrug is more than 100x less toxic than the drug to
bone marrow cells in Balb/c mice. The ratio of the IC50 of the prodrug to that of the drug determined on a variety of tumor cell lines in vitro ranged from 500∶1–1000∶1. An antibody-enzyme
conjugate (AEC) was synthesized and purified. Maleimide-substituted COL-1 anti-CEA monoclonal antibody was linked to free
thiol groups of β-d-galactosidase. The conjugate was purified by size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography. It retained full immunoreactivity
and enzyme activity. After binding to antigen-positive tumor cells, the conjugate was able to activate the prodrug and specifically
kill the cells. We are continuing to investigate this model for its potential use in antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy
(ADEPT). 相似文献

Thirty Boophilus microplus strains from various geographic regions of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela and Colombia were analyzed for the bm86 and bm95 gene. A fragment of cDNA of 794 base pairs of the parasite larvae, included between nucleotides 278–1071s, was amplified
and cloned on the pGEM-T vector. Two random clones were sequenced for each population and the nucleotides 278–1071 and predicted
amino acid sequences compared with the bm86 and bm95 genes. Variations from 1.76 to 3.65% were detected in the nucleotides sequence when compared with the homologous sequence
of the bm86 gene and a 3.4–6.08% in the homologous amino acid sequence of the Bm86 protein. When the sequences obtained were compared
with the bm95 gene, variations from 0.50 to 3.15% were detected. Variations from 1.14 to 4.56% were detected for the Bm95 protein homologous
sequences in the deduced amino acid sequence. Only five of the 30 strains analyzed presented two different types of alleles
expressed and the two alleles of the Alegre population and allele 1 of the Betim population were the most divergent of all
those analyzed. 相似文献

l-Galactono-1,4-lactone (GalL) dehydrogenase (GLDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the last step of l-ascorbate (AsA) biosynthesis in plants. To re-evaluate the importance of the enzyme and the possibility of manipulating the
AsA content in plants, a cDNA encoding GLDH from sweet potato was introduced into tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter. Protein blot analysis revealed the elevation of GLDH protein contents in three GLDH-transformed lines. Furthermore, these transgenic lines showed 6- to 10-fold higher GLDH activities in the roots than the
non-transformed plants, SR1. Despite the elevated GLDH activity, the AsA content in the leaves did not change in all lines;
i.e., the AsA content in GLDH-transformed lines was 3–7 μmol g−1 FW, comparable to that in the non-transformed plants. Incubation of leaf discs in a GalL solution led to a rapid 2- to 3-fold
increase in the AsA content in both GLDH-transformed and non-transformed plants in the same manner. These results suggest that the supply of GalL is a crucial factor
for determining the AsA pool size and that the upstream genes in the AsA biosynthetic pathway are responsible for enhancing
the AsA content in plants. 相似文献

The anaerobic fungus Piromyces sp. strain E2 metabolizes xylose via xylose isomerase and d-xylulokinase as was shown by enzymatic and molecular analyses. This resembles the situation in bacteria. The clones encoding the two enzymes were obtained from a cDNA library. The xylose isomerase gene sequence is the first gene of this type reported for a fungus. Northern blot analysis revealed a correlation between mRNA and enzyme activity levels on different growth substrates. Furthermore, the molecular mass calculated from the gene sequence was confirmed by gel permeation chromatography of crude extracts followed by activity measurements. Deduced amino acid sequences of both genes were used for phylogenetic analysis. The xylose isomerases can be divided into two distinct clusters. The Piromyces sp. strain E2 enzyme falls into the cluster comprising plant enzymes and enzymes from bacteria with a low G+C content in their DNA. The d-xylulokinase of Piromyces sp. strain E2 clusters with the bacterial d-xylulokinases. The xylose isomerase gene was expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, resulting in a low activity (25±13 nmol min–1mg protein-1). These two fungal genes may be applicable to metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the alcoholic fermentation of hemicellulosic materials. 相似文献

An α-l-rhamnosidase was purified by fractionating a culture filtrate of Aspergillus kawachii grown on l-rhamnose as the sole carbon source. The α-l-rhamnosidase had a molecular mass of 90 kDa and a high degree of N-glycosylation of approximately 22%. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at pH 4.0 and temperature of 50 °C. Further, it
was observed to be thermostable, and it retained more than 80% of its original activity following incubation at 60 °C for
1 h. Its T
50 value was determined to be 72 °C. The enzyme was able to hydrolyze α-1,2- and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds. The specific activity
of the enzyme was higher toward naringin than toward hesperidin. The A. kawachii α-l-rhamnosidase-encoding gene (Ak-rhaA) codes for a 655-amino-acid protein. Based on the amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA, the protein possessed 13 potential
N-glycosylation recognition sites and exhibited a high degree of sequence identity (up to 75%) with the α-l-rhamnosidases belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 78 from Aspergillus aculeatus and with hypothetical Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus fumigatus proteins.

Summary With a few exceptions, proteins in our biosphere are based exclusively onl-amino acids. The inversion of configuration of all the stereogenic centers in a protein leads to anall-d compound with ‘mirror image’ properties and ‘mirror image’ structure. We propose to use the termprotein-enantiomerism to describe the relationship between two proteins that have the same sequence but whose amino acids have opposite configuration.
We will use the termprotein-diastereomerism to define the relationship between two proteins that have the same sequence in which some amino acids have opposite configurations.
A classification of type I, II, III, and IV protein-diastereomerism is proposed. By extension, a diastereoprotein is a protein
where some amino acids have the same configuration (l ord) while others have the opposite one (d orl). A particular case of diastereoproteins aremesoproteins, also analyzed in this article. In addition to the goal of making proteins resistant to protease degradation, the use ofd-amino acids in protein de novo design may give rise to proteins with structures, and perhaps properties, very different to
those of nativeall-l-proteins. 相似文献

Barley endosperm begins development as a syncytium where numerous nuclei line the perimeter of a large vacuolated central cell. Between 3 and 6 days after pollination (DAP) the multinucleate syncytium is cellularized by the centripetal synthesis of cell walls at the interfaces of nuclear cytoplasmic domains between individual nuclei. Here we report the temporal and spatial appearance of key polysaccharides in the cell walls of early developing endosperm of barley, prior to aleurone differentiation. Flowering spikes of barley plants grown under controlled glasshouse conditions were hand-pollinated and the developing grains collected from 3 to 8 DAP. Barley endosperm development was followed at the light and electron microscope levels with monoclonal antibodies specific for (1→3)-β-d-glucan (callose), (1→3,1→4)-β-d-glucan, hetero-(1→4)-β-d-mannans, arabino-(1→4)-β-d-xylans, arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) and with the enzyme, cellobiohydrolase II, to detect (1→4)-β-d-glucan (cellulose). Callose and cellulose were present in the first formed cell walls between 3 and 4 DAP. However, the presence of callose in the endosperm walls was transient and at 6 DAP was only detected in collars surrounding plasmodesmata. (1→3,1→4)-β-d-Glucan was not deposited in the developing cell walls until approximately 5 DAP and hetero-(1→4)-β-d-mannans followed at 6 DAP. Deposition of AGPs and arabinoxylan in the wall began at 7 and 8 DAP, respectively. For arabinoxylans, there is a possibility that they are deposited earlier in a highly substituted form that is inaccessible to the antibody. Arabinoxylan and heteromannan were also detected in Golgi and associated vesicles in the cytoplasm. In contrast, (1→3,1→4)-β-d-glucan was not detected in the cytoplasm in endosperm cells; similar results were obtained for coleoptile and suspension cultured cells. 相似文献
