We have synthesized several ganglio-oligosaccharide structures using glycosyltransferases from Campylobacter jejuni. The enzymes, alpha-(2-->3/8)-sialyltransferase (Cst-II), beta-(1-->4)-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (CgtA), and beta-(1-->3)-galactosyltransferase (CgtB), were produced in large-scale fermentation from Escherichia coli and further characterized based on their acceptor specificities. 2-Azidoethyl-glycosides corresponding to the oligosaccharides of GD3 (alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-), GT3 (alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-), GM2 (beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-[alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-), GD2 (beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-[alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-), GT2 (beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-[alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->8)-alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-), and GM1 (beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-[alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-) were synthesized in high yields (gram-scale). In addition, a mammalian alpha-(2-->3)-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal I) was used to sialylate GM1 and generate GD1a (alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-[alpha-D-Neup5Ac-(2-->3)]-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-) oligosaccharide. We also cloned and expressed a rat UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-4'epimerase (GalNAcE) in E. coli AD202 cells for cost saving in situ conversion of less expensive UDP-GlcNAc to UDP-GalNAc. 相似文献

Unambiguous assignments of the purine ring protons in the NMR spectra of adenine (Ia) and its 9-substituted derivatives (Ib-f) have been made by comparison with those of the isotopically labeled adenines VIIIa-f. 9-Alkyl-2-deuterioadenines (VIIIb-d), adenosine-2-d (VIIIe), and 2'-deoxyadenosine-2-d (VIIIf) were synthesized from the 9-substituted adenines Ib-f through cyclization of the monocyclic intermediates VIb-f with formic acid-d2 or 1-(formyl-d)-2(1H)-pyridone. Hydrolysis of VIIIe with 0.5 N aq. HCl gave adenine-2-d (VIIIa) in 77% yield. 相似文献

We present procedures for nucleoside and oligonucleotide synthesis, binding affinity (Tm) and structural analysis (CD spectra) of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-alpha-D-ribofuranosyl and 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-beta-D-ribofuranosyl oligothymidylates. Possible reasons for the thermal instability of duplexes formed between these compounds and RNA or DNA targets are discussed. 相似文献

Effect of prostaglandins A1, A2, B1, B2, E2 and F2 alpha on human umbilical cord vessels 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Human umbilical blood vessels have the ability to close spontaneously following delivery at term. It has been suggested that prostaglandins may have a possible physiological role in its closure. This study investigates the effects of 6 naturally occurring prostaglandins (A1, A2, B1, B2, E2, F2a) on the umbilical blood vessels. Umbilical cords were collected from cases of normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries and cesarian section at term. A total of 41 strips of umbilical arteries and 26 strips of umbilical veins from 24 cords were used. A 4-point bioassay method was used to compare the potency of prostaglandins A1, A2, B1 and F2a with PGE2. The effect of Polyphloretin Phosphate (PPP) on prostaglandin-induced contractions was studied on umbilical artery strips from 12 cords. The 6 prostaglandins exerted a stimulant effect on the isolated strips of human umbilical arteries. Prostaglandin B2 was the most potent compound on the umbilical vein, followed by PGA2. PPP in the concentration range of 10 to 40 mcg/ml completely eliminated the responses of PGE2, F2a, A1, A2, and B1. Responses to PGB2 were considerably but not completely abolished. PPP (up to 40 mcg/ml) did not affect contractions induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine, suggesting the presence of discrete receptor sites in the blood vessels for different pharmacologically active compounds. This is the first report of the constrictor effect of PGA and PGB compounds. These naturally occuring prostaglandins with high potencies (compared with other prostaglandins and other vasoactive substances) may play a role in spontaneous closure of umbilical vessels. PGE1, E2, F1 and F2a are found in umbilical blood vessels obtained at term. 相似文献

Reversible phosphorylations play a critical role in most biological pathways. Hence, in signaling studies great effort has been put into identification of a maximum number of phosphosites per experiment. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics approaches have been proven to be an ideal analytical method for mapping of phosphosites. However, because of sample complexity, fractionation of phosphopeptides prior to MS analysis is a crucial step. In the current study, we compare the chromatographic strategies electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC), hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), and strong cation exchange chromatography (SCX) for their fractionation behavior of phosphopeptides. In addition, we investigate the use of repetitive TiO(2)-based enrichment steps for a maximum identification of phosphopeptides. On the basis of our results, SCX yields the highest number of identified phosphopeptides, whereas ERLIC is optimal for the identification of multiphosphorylated peptides. Consecutive incubations of fractions and flow-through by TiO(2) beads enrich qualitatively different sets of phosphopeptides, increasing the number of identified phosphopeptides per analysis. 相似文献

2-Amino-alpha-carboline [26148-68-5] which was isolated from a pyrolysate of soybean globulin and which was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium in the presence of a rat-liver microsomal fraction (S9 mix), was converted into non-mutagenic 2-hydroxy-alpha-carboline by treatment with nitrite in acidic conditions. However, on prolonged treatment with nitrite and acid, 2-hydroxy-alpha-carboline was further converted into a new mutagen which did not require S9 mix for exhibition of the mutagenicity. This direct-acting mutagen was found to be 2-hydroxy-3-nitroso-alpha-carboline by mass and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopies. 相似文献

Different authors have investigated the immunohistochemical expression of some proteins in the adenocarcinoma of the stomach, including cell cycle regulators proteins like p53 and Bcl-2; growth factors (c-erb-B2 and EPO-R); angiogenesis-related markers such as COX-2 and cellular adhesion molecules (beta-catenin and E-cadherin). While these proteins have been studied in gastric adenocarcinoma, their immunophenotyping in non tumoral gastric mucous membrane remains unexplored. In the present study, we investigated the expression, function and behavior of these proteins in normal gastric mucous membrane to contribute to gain further knowledge on the significance of their loss or overexpression in malignant gastric tumors. 相似文献

In recent years, reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from the vascular isoforms of NADPH oxidase, Nox1, Nox2, and Nox4, have been implicated in many cardiovascular pathologies. As a result, the selective inhibition of these isoforms is an area of intense current investigation. In this study, we postulated that Nox2ds, a peptidic inhibitor that mimics a sequence in the cytosolic B-loop of Nox2, would inhibit ROS production by the Nox2-, but not the Nox1- and Nox4-oxidase systems. To test our hypothesis, the inhibitory activity of Nox2ds was assessed in cell-free assays using reconstituted systems expressing the Nox2-, canonical or hybrid Nox1-, or Nox4-oxidase. Our findings demonstrate that Nox2ds, but not its scrambled control, potently inhibited superoxide (O2•−) production in the Nox2 cell-free system, as assessed by the cytochrome c assay. Electron paramagnetic resonance confirmed that Nox2ds inhibits O2•− production by Nox2 oxidase. In contrast, Nox2ds did not inhibit ROS production by either Nox1- or Nox4-oxidase. These findings demonstrate that Nox2ds is a selective inhibitor of Nox2-oxidase and support its utility to elucidate the role of Nox2 in organ pathophysiology and its potential as a therapeutic agent. 相似文献

Benzyl 2-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methylamino]-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranoside (10) and its furanose isomer (9), the derived N-methyloxazolidinones 11 and 6, benzyl 2-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methylamino]-2-deoxy-β-D-glucofuranoside (15) and methyl 2-deoxy-2-methylacetamido-β-D-galactofuranoside (20), were prepared from appropriate diethyl dithioacetals. They were considered the most suitable starting materials for synthesis of O-methyl-2-deoxy-2-methylamino-hexoses because of their ease of preparation and the presence of suitable blocking groups. Oxazolidinones were prepared from N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannose by using methanolic sodium methoxide. Their use in preparation of 2-deoxy-2-methyl-amino derivatives is discussed. The Kuhn reagent was used in these syntheses for N-methylating amides. However, certain amides containing comparatively bulky substituents in the vicinity of the NH group are resistant to methylation. 相似文献
