Modified d-glucose and d-mannose analogs are potentially clinically useful metabolic inhibitors. Biological evaluation of 2-deoxy-2-halo analogs has been impaired by limited availability and lack of efficient methods for their preparation. We have developed practical synthetic approaches to 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-, 2-chloro-2-deoxy-, 2-bromo-2-deoxy-, and 2-deoxy-2-iodo derivatives of d-glucose and d-mannose that exploit electrophilic addition reactions to a commercially available 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal. 相似文献

d-Amino acid aminotransferase (DAAT) catalyzes the synthesis of numerous d-amino acids, making it an attractive biocatalyst for the production of enantiopure d-amino acids. To bolster its biocatalytic applicability, improved variants displaying increased activity toward non-native substrates are desired. Here, we report the development of a high-throughput, colorimetric, continuous coupled enzyme assay for the screening of DAAT mutant libraries that is based on the use of d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO). In this assay, the d-amino acid product of DAAT is oxidized by DAAO with concomitant release of hydrogen peroxide, which is detected colorimetrically by the addition of horseradish peroxidase and o-dianisidine. Using this assay, we measured apparent KM and kcat values for DAAT and identified mutants displaying altered substrate specificity via the screening of cell lysates in 96-well plates. The DAAO coupled assay is sensitive in that it allowed the detection of a DAAT mutant displaying an approximately 2000-fold decrease in kcat/KM relative to wild type. In addition, the DAAO assay enabled the identification of two DAAT mutants (V33Y and V33G) that are more efficient than wild type at transaminating the non-native acceptor phenylpyruvate. We expect that this assay will be useful for the engineering of additional mutants displaying increased activity toward non-native substrates. 相似文献

From investigation of 2000 soil isolates, we identified a d-stereospecific metallo-amidohydrolase that can hydrolyze d-aminoacyl derivatives from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. 62E11: 62E11DppA. The enzyme binds two equivalents of zinc, exhibits 70% identity with that of d-aminopeptidases from Bacillus subtilis (DppA). In fact, 62E11DppA has strict specificity toward d-aminoacyl derivatives, i.e., the enzyme shows high activity toward d-aminoacyl benzyl esters and little activity toward d-amino acid containing peptides. Moreover, 62E11DppA exhibits a dramatic change in its activity and substrate specificity by substitution of metal ions in its active site. Based on results of kinetic studies using apo-62E11DppA with various metal ion and substrate concentrations, we propose a possible mechanism for the change in its activity and specificity by substitution of metal ions: the substitution of metal ions in 62E11DppA dramatically changes its activity by altering the substrate specificity. 相似文献

Aerobically grown yeast cells express mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenases that localize to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The d-lactate dehydrogenase is a zinc-flavoprotein with high acceptor specificity for cytochrome c, that catalyzes the oxidation of d-lactate into pyruvate. In this paper, we show that mitochondrial respiratory rate in phosphorylating or non-phosphorylating conditions with d-lactate as substrate is stimulated by carboxylic acids. This stimulation does not affect the yield of oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, this stimulation lies at the level of the d-lactate dehydrogenase. It is non-competitive, hyperbolic and its dimension is directly related to the number of carboxylic groups on the activator. The physiological meaning of such a regulation is discussed. 相似文献

A gene encoding a new d-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.) from the halophilic Archaeon Haloferax mediterranei has been sequenced, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli cells with the inducible expression plasmid pET3a. The nucleotide sequence analysis showed an open reading frame of 927 bp which encodes a 308 amino acid protein. Multiple amino acid sequence alignments of the D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase from H. mediterranei showed high homology with D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases from different organisms and other enzymes of this family. Analysis of the amino acid sequence showed catalytic residues conserved in hydroxyacid dehydrogenases with d-stereospecificity. In the reductive reaction, the enzyme showed broad substrate specificity, although α-ketoisoleucine was the most favourable of all α-ketocarboxylic acids tested. Kinetic data revealed that this new D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase from H. mediterranei exhibits dual coenzyme-specificity, using both NADPH and NADH as coenzymes. To date, all D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases have been found to be NADH-dependent. Here, we report the first example of a D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase with dual coenzyme-specificity. 相似文献

d-Glucuronate is a key metabolite in the process of detoxification of xenobiotics and in a recently constructed synthetic pathway to produce d-glucaric acid, a “top value-added chemical” from biomass. A simple and specific assay of d-glucuronate would be useful for studying these processes, but existing assays are either time-consuming or nonspecific. Using uronate dehydrogenase cloned from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, we developed an assay for d-glucuronate with a detection limit of 5 μM. This method was shown to be more suitable for a system with many interfering compounds than previous methods and was also applied to assays for myo-inositol oxygenase activity. 相似文献

Starting from 3β-hydroxy-17-oxo-16,17-secoandrost-5-ene-16-nitrile (1), the new 16,17-secoandrostane derivatives 4-9 were synthesized. On the other hand, 3β-hydroxy-17-oxa-d-homoandrost-5-ene-16-one (10) yielded the new d-homo derivatives 12, 13 and 15. In vitro antiproliferative activity of selected compounds against three tumor cell lines (human breast adenocarcinoma ER+, MCF-7, human breast adenocarcinoma ER−, MDA-MB-231, prostate cancer AR−, PC-3, and normal fetal lung fibroblasts, MRC-5) was evaluated. Compounds 3 and 12 showed strong antiproliferative activity against PC-3 cells, the IC50 values being 2 μM and 0.55 μM, respectively. Compounds 6 (10 μM) and 14 (9 μM) showed moderate activity against MDA-MB-231 cells. The synthesized compounds 1-3, 5-8, 10 and 12-15 were not toxic to normal fetal lung fibroblasts cells, MRC-5. 相似文献

The X-ray diffraction patterns, 13C CP MAS NMR spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction analyses were obtained for selected p-nitrophenyl glycosides: α- and β-d-galactopyranosides (1 and 2), α- and β-d-glucopyranosides (3 and 4), and α- and β-d-mannopyranosides (5 and 6). In X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 and 2, characteristic shortening and lengthening of selected bonds were observed in the molecules of 1 due to anomeric effect, and in the crystal lattice of 1 and 2, hydrogen bonds of complex network were detected. In the crystal asymmetric unit of 1 there were two independent molecules, whereas in 2 there was one molecule. For 1 and 3–6 the number of resonances in solid-state 13C NMR spectra exceeded the number of the carbon atoms in the molecules, while for 2 there were distinct singlet resonances in its solid-state NMR spectrum. Furthermore, the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) performed for 1–3 and 5 revealed that 1, 3, and 5 existed as single polymorphs proving that the doublets observed in appropriate solid-state NMR spectra were connected with two non-equivalent molecules in the crystal asymmetric unit. On the other hand 2 existed as a mixture of two polymorphs, one of them was almost in agreement with the calculated pattern obtained from XRD (the difference in volumes of the unit cells), and the subsequent unknown polymorph existed in small amounts and therefore it was not observed in solid-state NMR measurements. 相似文献

A new stereoselective preparation of N-aceyl-d-galactosamine (1b) starting from the known p-methoxyphenyl 3,4-O-isopropylidene-6-O-(1-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-β-d-galactopyranoside (10) is described using a simple strategy based on (a) epimerization at C-2 of 10 via oxidation-reduction to give the talo derivative 11, (b) amination with configurational inversion at C-2 of 11 via a SN2-type reaction on its 2-imidazylate, (c) anomeric deprotection of the p-methoxyphenyl β-d-galactosamine glycoside 14, (d) complete deprotection. Applying the same protocol to 2,3:5,6:3′,4′-tri-O-isopropylidene-6′-O-(1-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-lactose dimethyl acetal (4), directly obtained through acetonation of lactose, the disaccharide β-d-GalNAcp-(1→4)-d-Glcp (1a) was obtained with complete stereoselectivity in good (40%) overall yield from lactose. 相似文献

Described herein is the synthesis of two platinum(II) complexes containing l-ornithine (1) or d-ornithine (2) as a ligand. The complexes were obtained by the direct reaction of aqueous solutions of potassium tetrachloroplatinate and l- or d-ornithine. The single crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined and indicated that the Pt core is surrounded by an almost regular square planar coordination environment. The two complexes were thoroughly characterized by means of FT-IR, FT-Raman and NMR techniques. Furthermore, their ability to inhibit proliferation of human tumor cell lines was tested and the results indicate that 1 and 2 exert different cytotoxic effects. Particularly, the complex with the d-isomer of ornithine (2) showed a significantly greater cytotoxicity than that with the l-isomer (1). Finally, circular dichroism analysis indicated that 1 and 2 interact with DNA in a manner similar to that of cisplatin. 相似文献

The Hypocrea jecorina LXR1 was described as the first fungal l-xylulose reductase responsible for NADPH dependent reduction of l-xylulose to xylitol in l-arabinose catabolism. Phylogenetic analysis now reveals that LXR1 forms a clade with fungal d-mannitol 2-dehydrogenases. Lxr1 and the orthologous Aspergillus nigermtdA are not induced by l-arabinose but expressed at low levels during growth on different carbon sources. Deletion of lxr1 does not affect growth on l-arabinose and l-xylulose reductase activity remains unaltered whereas d-mannitol 2-dehydrogenase activities are reduced. We conclude that LXR1 is a d-mannitol 2-dehydrogenase and that a true LXR1 is still awaiting discovery. 相似文献

Structural genomics demonstrates that despite low levels of structural similarity of proteins comprising a metabolic pathway, their substrate binding regions are likely to be conserved. Herein based on the 3D-structures of the α/β-fold proteins involved in the ara operon, we attempted to predict the substrate binding residues of thermophilic Geobacillus stearothermophilusl-arabinose isomerase (GSAI) with no 3D-structure available. Comparison of the structures of l-arabinose catabolic enzymes revealed a conserved feature to form the substrate-binding modules, which can be extended to predict the substrate binding site of GSAI (i.e., D195, E261 and E333). Moreover, these data implicated that proteins in the l-arabinose metabolic pathway might retain their substrate binding niches as the modular structure through conserved molecular evolution even with totally different structural scaffolds. 相似文献

d-Bornesitol and l-quebrachitol have been found in the leaves of Acer pseudoplatanus L. The results of incorporation studies using labeled myo-inositol-14C, l-inositol-14C and d-bornesitol-14C indicate that l-quebrachitol is produced by epimerization of d-bornesitol. In Artemisia vulgaris, however, the precursor of l-quebrachitol is l-inositol. 相似文献

The distribution of radioactivity in the three- and four-carbon saccharinic acids, lactic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid, obtained from d-xylose-1-14C, d-glucose-1-14C, and d-glucose-6-14C, was measured. The relative importance of the various mechanisms for forming 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid was determined. Recombination of two-carbon fragments was found to be an important mechanism at the high alkalinity and temperature employed. 相似文献

The coenzyme-bound form of human skeletal muscle d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been shown to crystallize in the space group C2 and not C2221 as previously reported. The unit cell contains two tetrameric molecules with the dimer of molecular weight 72,000 as the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The recorded X-ray intensity distribution clearly indicates the presence of non-crystallographic 2-fold axes perpendicular to the crystallographic 2-fold axis showing that the subunits are arranged with near perfect 222 symmetry.Isomorphous derivatives of the enzyme have been prepared and the heavy atom positions defined in complete agreement with the C2 space group assignment. Further confirmation that the space group is C2 and not C2221 comes from the 3.5 Å resolution electron density map of the human enzyme, which appears almost identical to that of the lobster holo-enzyme where no such space group ambiguity exists. 相似文献

Synthesis of catechuic acid (1) and ethyl 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (2) from d-glucose-derived β-ketoester is described. The polyhydroxylated β-ketoester obtained from the hydrolysis of sugar β-ketoester 3 was subjected to an aldol-type condensation to get 4 that on enolization, dehydration, and hydrogenation afforded ethyl 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (2). On the other hand, hydrogenation of aldol product 4 afforded polyhydroxylated keto-carbasugar 6, which on mild acid treatment and ester hydrolysis in basic media led to catechuic acid 1. Intermediate 4 is co-related to 3-dehydroshikimic acid, a biochemical intermediate from d-glucose in the synthesis of pro-catechuic acid. 相似文献

d-Arabinose isomerase (d-AI), also known as l-fucose isomerase (l-FI), catalyzes the aldose–ketose isomerization of d-arabinose to d-ribulose, and l-fucose to l-fuculose. Bacillus pallidus (B. pallidus) d-AI can catalyze isomerization of d-altrose to d-psicose, as well as d-arabinose and l-fucose. Three X-ray structures of B. pallidusd-AI in complexes with 2-methyl-2,4-pentadiol, glycerol and an inhibitor, l-fucitol, were determined at resolutions of 1.77, 1.60 and 2.60 Å, respectively. B. pallidusd-AI forms a homo-hexamer, and one subunit has three domains of almost equal size; two Rossmann fold domains and a mimic of the (β/α) barrel fold domain. A catalytic metal ion (Mn2+) was found in the active site coordinated by Glu342, Asp366 and His532, and an additional metal ion was found at the channel for the passage of a substrate coordinated by Asp453. The X-ray structures basically supported the ene-diol mechanism for the aldose–ketose isomerization by B. pallidusd-AI, as well as Escherichia coli (E. coli) l-FI, in which Glu342 and Asp366 facing each other at the catalytic metal ion transfer a proton from C2 to C1 and O1 to O2, acting as acid/base catalysts, respectively. However, considering the ionized state of Asp366, the catalytic reaction also possibly occurs through the negatively charged ene-diolate intermediate stabilized by the catalytic metal ion. A structural comparison with E. colil-FI showed that B. pallidusd-AI possibly interconverts between “open” and “closed” forms, and that the additional metal ion found in B. pallidusd-AI may help to stabilize the channel region. 相似文献

An approach to stereoselective synthesis of α- or β-3-C-glycosylated l- or d-1,2-glucals starting from the corresponding α- or β-glycopyranosylethanals is described. The key step of the approach is the stereoselective cycloaddition of chiral vinyl ethers derived from both enantiomers of mandelic acid. The preparation of 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)methyl]-l-arabino-hex-1-enitol, 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)methyl]-d-arabino-hex-1-enitol, and 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-l-fucopyranosyl)methyl]-d-arabino-hex-1-enitol serves as an example of this approach. 相似文献
