唾液酸醛缩酶基因工程菌的构建和表达*

唾液酸(NANA)是一族神经氨酸类衍生物,它处于许多糖蛋白的寡糖链的非还原末端,具有重要的生理功能和药用价值。由于唾液酸的常规化学合成分离方法复杂,难以大量制备,因此价格很贵。而用酶法合成唾液酸,即在唾液酸醛缩酶(ALD)作用下,以丙酮酸钠和NI乙酰甘露糖胺为底物合成唾液酸．则原料便宜,步骤简单、产率高,且适合工业化生产。但唾液酸醛缩酶是一个诱导酶,只能在以唾液酸为唯一碳源的培养基下才能生成,这就大大影响了它的应用。因此,我们构建了产该酶的工程菌,为唾液酸作为药物和原料药的大量应用打下了基础。

Determination of a new non-narcotic analgesic, DA-5018, in plasma, urine and bile by high-performance liquid chromatography

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of a new non-narcotic analgesic, DA-5018 (I), in rat plasma, urine and bile samples, using propranolol for plasma samples and protriptyline for urine and bile samples as internal standards. The method involved extraction followed by injection of 100 μl of the aqueous layer onto a C₁₈ reversed-phase column. The mobile phases were 5 mM methanesulfonic acid with 10 mM NaH₂PO₄ (pH 2.5)-acetonitrile, 70:30 (v/v) for plasma samples and 75:25 (v/v) for urine and bile samples. The flow-rates were 1.0 ml/min for plasma samples and 1.2 ml/min for urine and bile samples. The column effluent was monitored by a fluorescence detector with an excitation wavelength of 270 nm and an emission wavelength of 330 nm. The retention time for I was 4.8 min in plasma samples and 10.0 min in urine and bile samples. The detection limits for I in rat plasma, urine and bile were 20, 100 and 100 ng/ml, respectively. There was no interference from endogenous substances.

Specific requirement for inorganic phosphate for induction of bilayer membrane conductance by the cationic uncoupler carbocyanine dye

The trinucleous divalent cationic cyanide dye triS-C₄(5) was shown to be an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria only in reaction medium containing inorganic phosphate (P_i). This dye also induced marked increase in the electrical conductance of a phospholipid bilayer membrane in bathing solution containing P_i, but not in solution containing Tris-HCI buffer without P_i. Time-dependent fluctuation of the electrical current across the bilayer membrane was observed in the presence of triS-C₄(5) only in bathing solution containing P_i. This fluctuation could be due to perturbation of the bilayer membrane structure induced by the cooperative action of the cyanine dye and P_i, and this perturbation should be directly related to their effects in increasing membrane conductance and also causing uncoupling in mitochondria.     

Photoaffinity Labeling of Adenylate Cyclase-Linked Serotonin Receptors in Aplysia Neurons

Serotonin stimulated adenylate cyclase in Aplysia neurons with a Kact of 0.7 microM. Under the same conditions, 1-[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl]4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine stimulated adenylate cyclase with a Kact of 20 microM. The azido derivative of this compound, 1-[2-(4-azidophenyl)ethyl]4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine, or of serotonin, (4-amino, 3-nitrophenylazido-serotonin), also stimulated the cyclase in the dark, but with lower efficiency (Kact greater than 10(-4) M). Irradiation of the membranes in the presence of 100 microM 1-[2-(4-azidophenyl)ethyl]4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine abolished 75% of the cyclase activity stimulated by 5 microM serotonin. Under the same conditions, 100 microM 4-amino, 3-nitrophenylazido-serotonin did not inhibit serotonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. When [3H]1-[2-(4-azidophenyl)ethyl]4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (20 microM) was irradiated with membranes for 5 min at 4 degrees C, a dozen peptides were labeled, as revealed by a fluorogram of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Among them, the labeling of five polypeptides (molecular weights of 45,000, 55,000, 63,000, 80,000, and 94,000) was protected by the presence of 0.2 mM serotonin during photolysis. These peptides may be related to serotonin receptors.     

Application of hexafluoroacetone as protecting and activating reagent in amino acid and peptide chemistry

Summary Using hexafluoroacetone as protecting and activating reagent, multifunctional amino acids like aspartic acid can be functionalized regioselectively. This strategy offers i.a. a two-step synthesis for aspartame and preparatively simple access to multifunctional natural and unnatural amino acids, like 4-oxo-L-amino acids, 5-diazo-4-oxo-L-amino acids, 4-substituted L-proline derivatives and various heterocyclic L-amino acids. On application of this strategy to amino diacetic acid N-substituted glycines become readily available.

Amino acid transport via the red cell anion transport system

Evidence is presented that the red cell anion-exchange transport (Band 3) can selectively transport small neutral amino acids, including glycine, serine and cysteine, but not alanine, proline, valine and threonine. This transport is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of SITS (4-acetamido-4′-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulphonate), and increased by raising the pH from 6.5 to 8.5.     

The high-energy state of the thylakoid system as indicated by chlorophyll fluorescence and chloroplast shrinkage

Certain long-term fluorescence phenomena observed in intact leaves of higher plants and in isolated chloroplasts show a reverse relationship to light-induced absorbance changes at 535 nm (“chloroplast shrinkage”).

1. 1. In isolated chloroplasts with intact envelopes strong fluorescence quenching upon prolonged illumination with red light is accompanied by an absorbance increase. Both effects are reversed by uncoupling with cyclohexylammonium chloride.

2. 2. The fluorescence quenching is reversed in the dark with kinetics very similar to those of the dark decay of chloroplast shrinkage.

3. 3. In intact leaves under strong illumination with red light in CO₂-free air a low level of variable fluorescence and a strong shrinkage response are observed. Carbon dioxide was found to increase fluorescence and to inhibit shrinkage.

4. 4. Under nitrogen, CO₂ caused fluorescence quenching and shrinkage increase at low concentrations. At higher CO₂ levels fluorescence was increased and shrinkage decreased.

5. 5. In the presence of CO₂, the steady-state yield of fluorescence was lower under nitrogen than under air, whereas chloroplast shrinkage was stimulated in nitrogen and suppressed in air.

6. 6. These results demonstrate that the fluorescence yield does not only depend on the redox state of the quencher Q, but to a large degree also on the high-energy state of the thylakoid system associated with photophosphorylation.

Allosteric interactions among drug binding sites on calmodulin

Felodipine is a fluorescent dihydropyridine Ca²⁺-antagonist. It binds to calmodulin in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner, and undergoes a fluorescence increase which allows us to monitor its interaction with calmodulin. Hydrophobic ligands including the calmodulin antagonist, R24571 and Ca²⁺ antagonists, prenylamine and diltiazem, bind to calmodulin and potentiate felodipine binding by as much as 20 fold. These studies suggest that allosteric interactions occur among different drug binding sites on calmodulin. Our results are discussed in terms of the mechanism of action of calmodulin.
