Summary The disaccharides formed by enzymatic transfer of the -D-galactopyranosyl residue fromo-nitrophenyl -d-galactopyranoside to -d-xylopyranosides have been identified. The influence of different factors on the yields of the disaccharides obtained was evaluated. Significant changes in selectivity were observed when -galactosidase fromE. coli was used instead of -galactosidase fromA. oryzae. 相似文献

A chemically defined medium was devised to examine the growth, production and biochemical pathway of tetrocarcin A. The production of tetrocarcin A was greatly stimulated by l-feucine and its corresponding keto acid, α-ketoisocaproate, suggesting that l-leucine is involved in the biosynthesis of tetrocarcin A. About 10–12 μg/ml of tetrocarcin A was produced in a chemically defined medium consisting of 20 g sucrose, 2.5 g KNO3, 5 g MgSO4·7H2O, 5 g KH2PO4 and 1 g l-leucine per liter of water (pH 7.0). 相似文献

The regioselectivity of β-galactosidase derived from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 (β-1,3-galactosidase) in transgalactosylation reactions using D-mannose as an acceptor was investigated. This D-mannose associated regioselectivity was found to be different from reactions using either GlcNAc or GalNAc as acceptors, not only for β-1,3-galactosidase but also for β-galactosidases of different origins. The relative hydrolysis rate of Galβ-pNP and D-galactosyl-D-mannoses, of various linkages, was also measured in the presence of β-1,3-galactosidase and was found to correlate well with the ratio of disaccharides formed by transglycosylation. The unexpected regioselectivity using D-mannose can therefore be explained by an anomalous specificity in the hydrolysis reaction. By utilizing the identified characteristics of both regioselectivity and hydrolysis specificity using D-mannose, an efficient method for enzymatic synthesis of β-1,3-, β-1,4- and β-1,6-linked D-galactosyl-D-mannose was subsequently established. 相似文献

-Lactoglobulin was enzymatically acylated with N-lauroyl-l-glutaminyl-glycine and N-lauroyl-l-glutamyl-l-lysine using transglutaminase from Streptomyces mobaraense. The modification of the protein with N-fatty-acyl-dipeptide was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, gel chromatography, HPLC, amino acid analysis, and TOF-MS. The degrees of the protein modification with N-lauroyl-l-glutaminyl-glycine and N-lauroyl-l-glutamyl-l-lysine were estimated to be 2–4 and 1.5 residues per molecule, respectively. 相似文献

A DNA polymerase has been assayed from chloroplasts of petunia plants cultured in vitro. The enzyme activity depends on the presence of DNA and Mg2+ and is stimulated by K+. A single DNA polymerase band of 75 kDa was shown by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using a DNA-containing gel followed by in situ renaturation of proteins and incubation of the intact gel in a polymerase assay mixture. The enzyme activity was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (59% at 1 mM) and dideoxythymidine triphosphate (25% at a ratio ddTTP/dTTP 1:1).The inhibitory effects of flavonoids on the DNA polymerase activity were studied. The glycosylation of hydroxyl groups on the flavonoids resulted in compounds that behaved as gradually weaker inhibitors with increased size of the substituent. The degree of inhibition decreased in the following order: quercetin > quercetin-3-L-rhamnoside > quercetin-3-rutinoside. Similarly baicalein-7-D-glucuronide was less active than baicalein. On the other hand, the number and position of hydroxyls of A ring was important for the inhibitory capacity. The flavonoids with a greater number of hydroxyl groups were more potent inhibitors of the chloroplast DNA polymerase. 相似文献

We report on the synthesis of three nitrocefin analogues and their evaluation as substrates for the detection of β-lactamase activity. These compounds are hydrolyzed by all four Ambler classes of β-lactamases. Kinetic parameters were determined with eight different β-lactamases, including VIM-2, NDM-1, KPC-2, and SPM-1. The compounds do not inhibit the growth of clinically important antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria in vitro. These chromogenic compounds have a distinct absorbance spectrum and turn purple when hydrolyzed by β-lactamases. One of these compounds, UW154, is easier to synthesize from commercial starting materials than nitrocefin and should be significantly less expensive to produce. 相似文献

Tyrosol β-d-fructofuranoside and hydroxytyrosol β-d-fructofuranoside have been synthesized as new compounds in 27.6 and 19.5% respective yields through transfructosylation of tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol. Yeast β-galactosidase Lactozym 3000?L comprising invertase activity was used as catalyst. Besides the main monofructosides, an equimolar mixture of tyrosol β-d-fructofuranosyl-((2→1)-β-d-fructofuranoside and tyrosol β-d-fructofuranosyl-(2→6)-β-d-fructofuranoside was isolated as additional product fraction in 14.3% yield. 相似文献

Two novel non-reducing oligosaccharides together with tri- and tetra-saccharides were synthesized by transfructosylation activity from sucrose as a donor and cellobiose or cellotriose as an acceptor with a purified beta-fructofuranosidase from Arthrobacter globiformis IFO 3062, and these oligosaccharides were identified as O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha,beta-D-fructofuranoside and O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha,beta-D-fructofuranoside by spectrometric analyses. Both oligosaccharides were stable under condition at 100 degrees C for 30 min, and showed no degradation at pH 2. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a causative agent of oral malodor and may play an important role in the pathogenicity of oral bacteria such as Streptococcus anginosus. In this microorganism, H2S production is associated with βC‐S lyase (Lcd) encoded by lcd gene, which is a pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP)‐dependent enzyme that catalyzes the α,β‐elimination of sulfur‐containing amino acids. When Lcd acts on L ‐cysteine, H2S is produced along with pyruvate and ammonia. To understand the H2S‐producing mechanism of Lcd in detail, we determined the crystal structures of substrate‐free Lcd (internal aldimine form) and two reaction intermediate complexes (external aldimine and α‐aminoacrylate forms). The formation of intermediates induced little changes in the overall structure of the enzyme and in the active site residues, with the exception of Lys234, a PLP‐binding residue. Structural and mutational analyses highlighted the importance of the active site residues Tyr60, Tyr119, and Arg365. In particular, Tyr119 forms a hydrogen bond with the side chain oxygen atom of L ‐serine, a substrate analog, in the external aldimine form suggesting its role in the recognition of the sulfur atom of the true substrate (L ‐cysteine). Tyr119 also plays a role in fixing the PLP cofactor at the proper position during catalysis through binding with its side chain. Finally, we partly modified the catalytic mechanism known for cystalysin, a βC‐S lyase from Treponema denticola, and proposed an improved mechanism, which seems to be common to the βC‐S lyases from oral bacteria.

The cellular form of the prion protein (PrPC) is found in both full-length and several different cleaved forms in vivo. Although the precise functions of the PrPC proteolytic products are not known, cleavage between the unstructured N-terminal domain and the structured C-terminal domain at Lys-109↓His-110 (mouse sequence), termed α-cleavage, has been shown to produce the anti-apoptotic N1 and the scrapie-resistant C1 peptide fragments. β-Cleavage, residing adjacent to the octarepeat domain and N-terminal to the α-cleavage site, is thought to arise from the action of reactive oxygen species produced from redox cycling of coordinated copper. We sought to elucidate the role of key members of the ADAM (a
disintegrin and metalloproteinase) enzyme family, as well as Cu2+ redox cycling, in recombinant mouse PrP (MoPrP) cleavage through LC/MS analysis. Our findings show that although Cu2+ redox-generated reactive oxygen species do produce fragmentation corresponding to β-cleavage, ADAM8 also cleaves MoPrP in the octarepeat domain in a Cu2+- and Zn2+-dependent manner. Additional cleavage by ADAM8 was observed at the previously proposed location of α-cleavage, Lys-109↓His-110 (MoPrP sequencing); however, upon addition of Cu2+, the location of α-cleavage shifted by several amino acids toward the C terminus. ADAM10 and ADAM17 have also been implicated in α-cleavage at Lys-109↓His-110; however, we observed that they instead cleaved MoPrP at a novel location, Ala-119↓Val-120, with additional cleavage by ADAM10 at Gly-227↓Arg-228 near the C terminus. Together, our results show that MoPrP cleavage is far more complex than previously thought and suggest a mechanism by which PrPC fragmentation responds to Cu2+ and Zn2+. 相似文献

We have developed a novel transient plant expression system that simultaneously expresses the reporter gene, β-glucuronidase (GUS), with putative positive or negative regulators of cell death. In this system, N. benthamiana leaves are co-infiltrated with a 35S driven expression cassette containing the gene to be analyzed, and the GUS vector pCAMBIA 2301 using Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 as a vehicle. Because live cells are required for GUS expression to occur, loss of GUS activity is expected when this marker gene is co-expressed with positive regulators of cell death. Equally, increased GUS activity is observed when anti-apoptotic genes are used compared to the vector control. As shown below, we have successfully used this system in our lab to analyze both pro- and anti-death players. These include the plant anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 Associated athanoGene (BAG) family, as well as, known mammalian inducers of cell death, such as BAX. Additionally, we have used this system to analyze the death function of specific truncations within proteins, which could provide clues on the possible post-translational modification/activation of these proteins. Here, we present a rapid and sensitive plant based method, as an initial step in investigating the death function of specific genes. 相似文献

The equilibrium constants and the respective standard Gibbs energy changes for hydrolysis of some β-lactam antibiotics have been determined. Native and immobilized penicillin amidase (EC 3.5.1.11) from Escherichia coli has been used as a catalyst. The values of standard Gibbs energy changes corresponding to the pH-independent product of equilibrium concentrations (ΔG0c = ? RT ln Kc) have been calculated. The differences in the structure of the antibiotics nucleus hardly ever affect the value of the pH-independent component of the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG0c) and value of apparent standard Gibbs energy change at a fixed pH (ΔG0′c). At the same time, the value of ΔG0c is more sensitive to the structure of the acyl moiety of the antibiotic; when ampicillin is used instead of benzylpenicillin, ΔG0c increases by ~6.3 kJ mol?1 (1.5 kcal mol?1). pH-dependences of the apparent standard Gibbs energy changes for hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics have been calculated. The pH-dependences of ΔG0′c for hydrolysis of all β-lactam antibiotics have a similar pattern. The thermodynamic pH optimum of the synthesis of these compounds is in the acid pH range (pH < 5.0). The breakage of the β-lactam ring leads to a sharp decrease in the ΔG0′c value and a change in the pattern of the pH-dependence. For example, at pH 5.0 ΔG0′c decreases from 14.4 kJ mol?1 for benzylpenicillin to ?1.45 kJ mol?1 for benzylpenicilloic acid. The reason for these changes is mainly a considerable increase in the pK of the amino group of the nucleus of the antibiotic and, as a consequence, a decrease in the component of standard Gibbs energy change, corresponding to the ionization of the system. The thermodynamic potentials of the enzymatic synthesis of semisynthetic penicillins and cephalosporins on the basis of both free acids and their derivatives (N-acylated amino acids, esters) are discussed. It is shown that with esters of the acids, a high yield of the antibiotic can, in principle, be achieved at higher pH values. 相似文献

Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an autosomal, recessive hereditary disease characterized by striatal neurodegeneration and acanthocytosis, and caused by loss of function mutations in the vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A (VPS13A) gene. VPS13A encodes chorein whose physiological function at the molecular level is poorly understood. In this study, we show that chorein interacts with β-adducin and β-actin. We first compare protein expression in human erythrocyte membranes using proteomic analysis. Protein levels of β-adducin isoform 1 and β-actin are markedly decreased in erythrocyte membranes from a ChAc patient. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and reverse co-IP assays using extracts from chorein-overexpressing human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, shows that β-adducin (isoforms 1 and 2) and β-actin interact with chorein. Immunocytochemical analysis using chorein-overexpressing HEK293 cells demonstrates co-localization of chorein with β-adducin and β-actin. In addition, immunoreactivity of β-adducin isoform 1 is significantly decreased in the striatum of gene-targeted ChAc-model mice. Adducin and actin are membrane cytoskeletal proteins, involved in synaptic function. Expression of β-adducin is restricted to the brain and hematopoietic tissues, corresponding to the main pathological lesions of ChAc, and thereby implicating β-adducin and β-actin in ChAc pathogenesis. 相似文献

Differentiation of Salmonella from other gram-negative bacilli requires several biochemical and serological tests. A simplified 24-hr screening procedure has been devised which allows discarding of large numbers of isolates (picked from selective plating media) before they are subjected to this extensive testing. Cultures of gram-negative organisms isolated to triple sugar-iron slants during routine examination of products for Salmonella were tested for the presence of beta-galactosidase and Salmonella flagellar antigens. beta-Galactosidase-positive cultures which did not agglutinate in polyvalent flagellar antiserum were considered to be nonsalmonellae. Of 1,103 Salmonella cultures tested, none of the 61 different serotypes was missed by this procedure, whereas 673 (82.3%) of 818 nonsalmonellae were excluded from further testing. This screening procedure eliminates most nonsalmonellae and augments the proportion of cultures undergoing further biochemical and serological testing which will be confirmed as Salmonella. 相似文献

A β-gIucoside of d-pantothenic acid was formed from d-pantothenic acid and β-glucosyl donors such as cellobiose, phenyl-β-d-glucoside, salicin, and 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucoside and naphthol AS-BI-β-d-glucoside by various β-glucosidases, i.e., almond β-glucosidase, cellulase type II and III, naringinase, and hesperiginase. The compound was isolated from a reaction mixture of almond β-glucosidase by treatment with active charcoal, Amberlite CG–50, and DEAH-cellulose column chromatography, paper chromatography, and Sephadex G-IO gel filtration. Then, the compound was characterized as 4′-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-pantothenic acid by various analytical methods including bioassay, paper chromatography, NMR and specific optical rotation. The microbiological activities of the compound were also determined. 相似文献
