A facile and efficient method to differentiate the 2,3-diols of glucopyranosides based on 1,2-orthoesters strategy was developed. Stable thioglucosides were employed as the starting materials to prepare the corresponding 1,2-orthoesters. When treated with HCl aqueous solution and followed with Et(3)N, differentiation of the 2,3-diols was efficiently achieved along with the generation of a convertible anomeric hydroxyl group. In addition, an easy and practical method based on NOE was proposed to determine whether the 1,2-orthoesters were endo-type or exo-type. 相似文献

Toluene dioxygenase (TDO) catalyzes asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation of aromatic compounds. To achieve high efficient biotransformation of benzene to benzene cis-diols, Pseudomonas putida KT2442, Pseudomonas stutzeri 1317, and Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4 were used as hosts to express TDO gene tod. Plasmid pSPM01, a derivative of broad-host plasmid pBBR1MCS-2 harboring tod from plasmid pKST11, was constructed and introduced into the above three strains. Their abilities to catalyze the biotransformation
of benzene to benzene cis-diols, namely, cis-3,5-cyclohexadien-1,2-diols abbreviated as DHCD, were examined. In shake-flask cultivation under optimized culture media
and growth condition, benzene cis-diols production by recombinant P. putida KT2442 (pSPM01), P. stutzeri 1317 (pSPM01), and A. hydrophila 4AK4 (pSPM01) were 2.68, 2.13, and 1.17 g/l, respectively. In comparison, Escherichia coli JM109 (pSPM01) and E. coli JM109 (pKST11) produced 0.45 and 0.53 g/l of DHCD, respectively. When biotransformation was run in a 6-l fermenter, DHCD
production in P. putida KT2442 (pSPM01) was approximately 60 g/l; this is the highest DHCD production yield reported so far. 相似文献

Rhodopseudomonas sphaerodes mutant H5 lacking 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase was grown phototrophically in chemostat cultures limited by malate. Tetrapyrrole formation was limited by 5-aminolevulinic acid. With variation of dilution rates the cultures exhibited two regions of almost constant cell protein, dry weight and bacteriochlorophyll levels suggesting the formation of two physiological modifications of the strain. These modifications were further characterized by differences in the rates of 5-aminolevulinic acid consumption, the production of reserve material, the stoichiometries of 5-aminolevulinic acid consumption and bacteriochlorophyll or cytochrome production, specific bacteriochlorophyll and cytochrome contents as well as the ratio of bacteriochlorophyll protein complexes. In contrast, cellular levels of coproporphyrin II stayed almost constant over the entire range of dilution rates employed. Bacteriochlorophyll and b-type cytochrome cellular levels exhibited hyperbolic dependencies on the specific rate of 5-aminolevulinic acid consumption, and c-type cytochrome levels a signmoidal dependency. Bacteriochlorophyll cellular levels showed a biphasic dependency with half maximal saturations at 2.6 and 15.4 nmol of 5-aminolevulinic acid consumed per mg of protein and h, and maximal levels of 15.2 and 21 nmol bacteriochlorophyll per mg of protein. Cellular levels of c- and b-type cytochromes were half maximally saturated at 19.5 and 14.5 nmol 5-aminolevulinic acid consumed per mg protein and h while maximal levels were reached at 0.5 and 0.17 nmol of c- and b-type cytochromes, respectively, per mg of protein.The data suggest that within the cell bacteriochlorophyll as well as c- and b-type cytochrome units are assembled according to a defined pattern of kinetics characteristic of each group of compounds. Under otherwise constant external conditions the expression of the pattern is controlled by the rate of 5-aminolevulinic acid supply. 相似文献

A new isolate of Trichoderma atroviride has been shown to grow on low rank coal as the sole carbon source. T. atroviride ES11 degrades ∼82% of particulate coal (10 g l−1) over a period of 21 days with 50% reduction in 6 days. Glucose (5 g l−1) as a supplemented carbon source enhanced the coal solubilisation efficiency of T. atroviride ES11, while 10 and 20 g l−1 glucose decrease coal solubilisation efficiency. Addition of nitrogen [1 g l−1 (NH4)2SO4] to the medium also increased the coal solubilisation efficiency of T. atroviride ES11. Assay results from coal-free and coal-supplemented cultures suggested that several intracellular enzymes are possibly
involved in coal depolymerisation processes some of which are constitutive (phenol hydroxylase) and others that were activated
or induced in the presence of coal (2,3-dihydrobiphenyl-2,3-diol dehydrogenase, 3,4-dihydro phenanthrene-3,4-diol dehydrogenase,
1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dehydrogenase, 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxyanthracene dehydrogenase). GC-MS analysis of
chloroform extracts obtained from coal degrading T. atroviride ES11 cultures showed the formation of only a limited number of specific compounds (4-hydroxyphenylethanol, 1,2-benzenediol,
2-octenoic acid), strongly suggesting that the intimate association between coal particles and fungal mycelia results in rapid
and near-quantitative transfer of coal depolymerisation products into the cell.

Summary The plasma membrane of higher plants contains more than one kind ofb-type cytochromes. One of these has a high redox potential and can be fully reduced by ascorbate. This component, the cytochromeb
561 (cytb
561), has its characteristic -band absorbance close to 561 nm wavelength at room temperature. Cytb
561 was first isolated from etiolated bean hook plasma membranes by two consecutive anion exchange chromatography steps. During the first step performed at pH 8, cytb
561 did not bind to the anion exchange column, but otherb-type cytochromes did. In the second step performed at pH 9.9, cytb
561 was bound to the column and was eluted from the column at an ionic strength of about 100 mM KCl. However, when the same protocol was applied to the solubilized plasma membrane proteins fromArabidopsis thaliana leaves and maize roots, the ascorbate-reducible cytb
561 bound already to the first anion exchange column at pH 8 and was eluted also at an ionic strength of about 100 mM KCl. Otherb-type cytochromes than the ascorbate-reducible cytb
561 from the plasma membranes of Arabidopsis leaves and maize roots showed similar Chromatographic characteristics to that of bean hypocotyls. These results demonstrate particular differences in the Chromatographic behavior of cytb
561 from different sources.Abbreviations cyt

Bacterial 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Enterobacter aerogenes, Aeromonas hydrophila, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus possessing L(+)-butanediol dehydrogenase produced mainly meso-butanediol and small amounts of optically active butanediol; Acetobacter suboxydans, Bacillus polymyxa and Erwinia carotovora containing D(-)-butanediol dehydrogenase produced more optically active butanediol than meso-butanediol. Resting and growing cells of these organisms oxidized only one enantiomer of racemic butanediol. The D(-)-butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus polymyxa was partially purified (30-fold) with a specific activity of 24.5. Except NAD and NADH no other cofactors were required. Optimum pH-values for oxidation and reduction were pH 9 and pH 7, respectively. The optimum temperature was about 60°C. The molecular weight was 100000 to 107000. The K
m-values were 3.3 mM for D(-)-butanediol, 6.25 mM for meso-butanediol, 0.53 mM for acetoin, 0.2 mM for NAD, 0.1 mM for NADH, 87 mM for diacetyl, 38 mM for 1,2-propanediol; 2,3-pentanedion was not a substrate for this enzyme. The L(+)-butanediol dehydrogenase from Serratia marcescens was purified 57-fold (specific activity 22.3). Besides NAD or NADH no cofactors were required. The optimum value for oxidation was about pH 9 and for reduction pH 4.5. The optimum temperature was 32–36°C. The molecular weight was 100000 to 107000. The K
m-values were 5 mM for meso-butanediol, 10 mM for racemic butanediol, 6.45 for acetoin, 1 mM for NAD, 0.25 mM for NADH, 2.08 mM for diacetyl, 16.7 mM for 2,3-pentanedion and 11.8 mM for 1,2-propanediol.Abbreviations Bud

Burkholderia sp. C3 was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated site in Hilo, Hawaii, USA, and studied for
its degradation of phenanthrene as a sole carbon source. The initial 3,4-C dioxygenation was faster than 1,2-C dioxygenation
in the first 3-day culture. However, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid derived from 3,4-C dioxygenation degraded much slower than
2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid derived from 1,2-C dioxygenation. Slow degradation of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid relative to 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic
acid may trigger 1,2-C dioxygenation faster after 3 days of culture. High concentrations of 5,6-␣and 7,8-benzocoumarins indicated
that meta-cleavage was the major degradation mechanism of phenanthrene-1,2- and -3,4-diols. Separate cultures with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic
acid and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid showed that the degradation rate of the former to naphthalene-1,2-diol was much faster
than that of the latter. The two upper metabolic pathways of phenanthrene are converged into naphthalene-1,2-diol that is
further metabolized to 2-carboxycinnamic acid and 2-hydroxybenzalpyruvic acid by ortho- and meta-cleavages, respectively. Transformation of naphthalene-1,2-diol to 2-carboxycinnamic acid by this strain represents the first
observation of ortho-cleavage of two rings-PAH-diols by a Gram-negative species. 相似文献

In an attempt to obtain bacteria growing on 1,2-dimethylbenzene as sole carbon and energy source two different strains were isolated. One was identified as an Arthrobacter strain, the other as a Corynebacterium strain. Corynebacterium strain C125 was further investigated. The organism was not capable to grow on 1,3- and 1,4-dimethylbenzene. cis-1,2-Dihydroxycyclohexa-3,5-diene oxidoreductase and 3,4-dimethylcatechol-2,3-dioxygenase activity was found in cell extracts. When 3,4-dimethylcatechol was added to cell extract of 1,2-dimethylbenzene-grown cells, first a compound with the spectral properties of 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-6-oxo-2,4-heptadienoate was formed and subsequently acetate was produced. It is proposed that dioxygenases are involved in the initial steps of 1,2-dimethylbenzene degradation, and ring opening proceeds via meta-cleavage. 相似文献

The TOL plasmid-encoded enzymes of the methyl-benzoate pathway in Pseudomonas putida mt-2 cometabolized 3-trifluoromethyl (TFM)-benzoate. Two products, 3-TFM-1,2-dihydroxy-2-hydrobenzoate (3-TFM-DHB) and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7,7,7-trifluoro-hepta-2,4-dienoate (7-TFHOD) were identified chemically and by spectroscopic properties. TFM-substituted analogues of the metabolites of the methylbenzoate pathway were generally converted at drastically reduced rates. The catechol-2,3-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida showed moderate turnover rates with 3-TFM-catechol. The catechol-1,2-dioxygenase of Rhodococcus rubropertinctus N657 was totally inhibited by 3-TFM-catechol and did not cleave this substrate. Hammett-type analysis showed the catechol-1,2-dioxygenase reaction to be strongly dependent on the electronic nature of the substituents. Electronegative substituents strongly inhibited catechol cleavage. The catechol-2,3-dioxygenase reaction, however, was only moderately sensitive to electronegative substituents. 相似文献

Summary The lipidic-amino acids (LAAs) are non-natural-amino acids with saturated or unsaturated long aliphatic side chains. LAAs and their derivatives (lipid mimetics) together with the lipidic peptides represent a class of compounds which combine structural features of lipids with those of amino acids and peptides. Racemic LAAs may be prepared by classical methods and resolved by chemical or enzymatic methods. LAA amides and esters with saturated or unsaturated long chain amines and alcohols respectively, as well as lipidic dipeptide derivatives inhibit both pancreatic and human platelet phospholipase A2. Lipophilic peptide derivatives are inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase. LAAs and their oligomers have been used as drug delivery system. A Lipid-Core-Peptide system has been designed and used as a combined adjuvant-carrier-vaccine system. A variety of lipid mimetics such as lipidic 2-amino alcohols, lipidic 1,2- and 1,3-diamines have been prepared based upon LAAs. Some of them are potent inhibitors of phospholipase A2. A general approach to enantioselective synthesis of LAAs and lipid mimetics is based on the oxidative cleavage of 3-amino-1,2-diols obtained by the regioselective opening of enantiomerically enriched long chain 2,3-epoxy alcohols.Abbreviations Boc

In anaerobic industrial digesters treating wastewaters from food industry, the sludges showed high capacities to degrade ethanol. The main syntrophic ethanoldegrading organisms were characterized as Pelobacter carbinolicus. During acetoin degradation, butanediol isomers were shown to be transiently produced. In coculture with Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus, the strains oxidized not only primary monoalcohols but also 1,2- and 1,3-diols. Ecological importance as well as metabolic pathways of diol degradation are discussed. 相似文献

This study explored the effects of coastal vegetation on tsunami damage based on field observations carried out after the
Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004. Study locations covered about 250 km (19 locations) on the southern coast of Sri
Lanka and about 200 km (29 locations) on the Andaman coast of Thailand. The representative vegetation was classified into
six types according to their habitat and the stand structures of the trees. The impact of vegetation structure on drag forces
was analyzed using the observed characteristics of the tree species. The drag coefficient, including the vertical stand structures
of trees, C
d-all, and the vegetation thickness (cumulative trunk diameter of vegetation in the tsunami direction) per unit area, dN
u
(d: reference diameter of trees, N
u
: number of trees per unit area), varied greatly with the species classification. Based on the field survey and data analysis,
Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata (hereafter R. apiculata-type), kinds of mangroves, and Pandanus odoratissimus, a representative tree that grows in beach sand, were found to be especially effective in providing protection from tsunami
damage due to their complex aerial root structure. Two layers of vegetation in the vertical direction with P. odoratissimus and Casuarina equisetifolia and a horizontal vegetation structure of small and large diameter trees were also important for increasing drag and trapping
floating objects, broken branches, houses, and people. The vertical structure also provided an effective soft landing for
people washed up by the tsunami or for escaping when the tsunami waves hit, although its dN
u
is not large compared with R. apiculata-type and P. odoratissimus. In addition, the creeks inside mangroves and the gaps inside C. equisetifolia vegetation are assumed to be effective for retarding tsunami waves. This information should be considered in future coastal
landscape planning, rehabilitation, and coastal resource management. 相似文献

A suite of muscarinic receptor blockers was used to characterize the receptor(s) mediating the contractile effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on isolated rings of ventral aorta from the dogfish shark, Squalus acanthias. The M2/M4-specific inhibitor N,N’-bis(6-{[(2-methoxyphenyl) methyl] amino} hexyl) -1,8- octane diamine tetrahydrochloride (methoctramine) did not reduce the efficacy of ACh, and the M3-specific inhibitor 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) displaced the ACh concentration-response curve to the right at much lower concentrations than the M1-specific inhibitor (5-11-dihydro-11- [4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)acetyl] -6H-pyrido[2,3-b] [1,4] benzodiazepin-6-one dihydrochloride) (pirenzepine). It appears, therefore, that an M3-type muscarinic receptor is expressed in the aortic vascular smooth muscle of the dogfish shark. 相似文献

It has been suggested that two groups ofEscherichia coli genes, theccm genes located in the 47-min region and thenrfEFG genes in the 92-min region of the chromosome, are involved in cytochromec biosynthesis during anaerobic growth. The involvement of the products of these genes in cytochromec synthesis, assembly and secretion has now been investigated. Despite their similarity to other bacterial cytochromec assembly proteins, NrfE, F and G were found not to be required for the biosynthesis of any of thec-type cytochromes inE. coli. Furthermore, these proteins were not required for the secretion of the periplasmic cytochromes, cytochromec
550 and cytochromec
552, or for the correct targeting of the NapC and NrfB cytochromes to the cytoplasmic membrane. NrfE and NrfG are required for formate-dependent nitrite reduction (the Nrf pathway), which involves at least twoc-type cytochromes, cytochromec
552 and NrfB, but NrfF is not essential for this pathway. Genes similar tonrfE, nrfF andnrfG are present in theE. coli nap-ccm locus at minute 47. CcmF is similar to NrfE, the N-terminal region of CcmH is similar to NrfF and the C-terminal portion of CcmH is similar to NrfG. In contrast to NrfF, the N-terminal, NrfF-like portion of CcmH is essential for the synthesis of allc-type cytochromes. Conversely, the NrfG-like C-terminal region of CcmH is not essential for cytochromec biosynthesis. The data are consistent with proposals from this and other laboratories that CcmF and CcmH form part of a haem lyase complex required to attach haemc to C-X-X-C-H haem-binding domains. In contrast, NrfE and NrfG are proposed to fulfill a more specialised role in the assembly of the formate-dependent nitrite reductase. 相似文献

Summary An ethene-utilising bacterium was isolated in pure culture from soil and was tentatively identified as aMicrococcus sp. The organism accumulated epoxyalkanes (0.2–13 mM) from internal, terminal, cyclic and aryl-substituted olefins and exhibited a substrate specificity which was different from that expected on the basis of the chemical reactivity pattern in peracid epoxidations. Epoxyalkanes were hydrolysed at a much slower rate than the epoxidation step which allowed them to accumulate. Ethene-grown cells catalysed the stereospecific formation of R-1,2-epoxypropane (enantiomeric excess: e.e.=96%), R-1,2-epoxybutane (e.e.=94%) andtrans-(2R,3R)-epoxybutane (e.e.=84%). An ethene monooxygenase was implicated in the production of chiral epoxides in cell-free extracts of the bacterium. The (2S,3S)-enantiomer of racemictrans-2,3-epoxybutane was stereoselectively hydrolysed to completion resulting in an enrichment in the (2R,3R)-enantiomer. Further hydrolysis of 1,2-epoxyalkanes (C3-C4), however, occurred via complete destruction of both stereoisomers. 相似文献

The biomass yield of freshwater filamentous sulfur bacteria of the genus Beggiatoa, when grown lithoheterotrophically or mixotrophically, has been shown to increase 2 to 2.5 times under microaerobic conditions (0.12 mg/l oxygen) as compared to aerobic conditions (9 mg/l oxygen). The activity of the glyoxylate cycle key enzymes have been found to increase two to three times under microaerobic conditions (at an O2 concentration of 2 mg/l), and the activities of the sulfur metabolism enzymes increased three to five times (at an O2 concentration of 0.1–0.5 mg/l). It has also been found that, under microaerobic conditions, thiosulfate was almost completely oxidized to sulfate by the bacteria, without accumulation of intermediate metabolites. At the same time, a 2- to 15-fold decrease in the activities of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes involved in the reduction of NAD and FAD was observed. Reorganization of the respiratory chain after changes in aeration and type of nutrition was also observed. It has been found that, in cells grown heterotrophically, the terminal part of the respiratory chain contained an aa
3-type oxidase, whereas, during mixotrophic, lithoheterotrophic, and autotrophic growth, aa
3-type oxidase synthesis was inhibited, and the synthesis of a cbb
3-type oxidase, which is induced under microaerobic conditions, was activated. The gene of the catalytic subunit CcoN of the cbb
3-type oxidase was sequenced and proved to be highly homologous to the corresponding genes of other proteobacteria.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 4, 2005, pp. 452–459.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Muntyan, Grabovich, Patritskaya, Dubinina. 相似文献

Ten different Pseudomonas strains isolated from contaminated soils were tested for expression of active dioxygenases. Of these, two different clusters, related to strain origin were observed. The first included two P. fluorescens strains and two P. aeruginosa strains isolated from soils polluted with polyaromatic hydrocarbons and the second two P. cepacia strains and four P. chlororaphis strains from soils with polyphenols. All the isolates showed catechol 1,2-dioxygenase basal activity, while other dioxygenases (catechol 2,3-dioxygenase, protocatechuate 2,3-, 3,4- and 4,5-dioxygenases) were detected only after growth in the presence of suitable inducers (benzoate, catechol, salicylate, phenol). Significant induction of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, the major activity of the tested strains, was also observed when combining starvation with the presence of high molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons with recalcitrant structures (fluoranthene, chrysene, benzanthracene, pyrene). 相似文献
