MehpH的生化与结构特性（英文）

【目的】本研究旨在系统探究环境因素对邻苯二甲酸单乙基己基酯水解酶(monoethylhexyl phthalate hydrolase,MehpH)活性的影响,模拟该酶的3D结构并分析活性中心氨基酸残基与底物之间的相互作用。【方法】根据标准的酶学实验验证了环境因素对酶活性的影响。该酶的基本结构分析由DNAMAN(2.1)分析所得,同时利用SWISS-MODEL对其3D模型进行预测,并通过PyMOL软件对相关结果作了可视化处理。Autodock工具,Swiss-Pdb以及Py MOL均用以酶与邻苯二甲酸单乙基己基酯(monoethylhexyl phthalate,MEHP)的相互作用分析。【结果】该酶的初级结构与已报道Gordonia sp.P8219菌株中的酯类水解酶相似,该酶的最适温度与p H(分别为40°C和8.0)和菌株P8219有所不同;该酶在有机溶剂、洗涤剂和金属离子环境中表现出良好的稳定性;然而,其酶活受2 mol/L的Ni~(2+)、Fe~(3+)、Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)离子,1 mol/L苯甲基磺酰氟(PMSF),0.5 mol/L的对氧磷,1 mol/L苯基醚(PGO),2 mol/L焦碳酸二乙酯(DEPC)和5 mol/L的毒扁豆碱所抑制。丝氨酸水解酶中高度保守五肽基序GXSXG与催化三联体HSD结构均存在于该酶的编码序列中。根据分子对接结果,Thr152与Ser230在水解酶与其模板之间也显得更为保守,且与MEHP联系较为紧密(分别为5.8?和3.6?),可能起着重要的催化作用。而MEHP与催化氨基酸残基Ser125、His291、Asp259并不十分靠近。【结论】YC-RL2中MehpH在有机溶剂、洗涤剂以及金属离子环境中具有稳定的生物活性,表明其具有良好的应用潜力。酶的结构及活性中心得到了初步的分析,对于催化机理及酶改造研究具有重要意义。

枯草蛋白酶E的突变体

Ser236位于横贯枯草蛋白酶E的α螺旋末端,远离催化活性中心,Ser236的突变不会对酶的活性产生大的影响。用定点突变的方法对枯草蛋白酶E的基因进行改造引入Ser236Cys,可能会形成分子间二硫键,有利于提高酶的稳定性。Ser236Cys变体酶(BP1)活性是野生型蛋白酶E的15倍,热稳定性提高3倍;进一步在其他位点引入突变的变体酶BU1(A1a15Asp/Gly20His/Ser236Cys)和BW1(Ser24His/Lys27Asp/Ser236Cys)活性都比野生型蛋白酶E低,但BW1的稳定性稍高于野生型蛋白酶E。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Chemokines and cytokines: axis and allies in asthma and allergy

Allergic asthma can be precipitated by many factors. For the atopic person, fungus, pollen, dust mites, cockroach antigens, and diesel exhaust are all agents that may trigger an allergic attack. Cytokines and chemokines are integral mediators of fungal asthma. From the earliest time points, they recruit and activate the cells required for the clearance of fungus as well as being critical factors involved in the immunopathology of this disease. In the final analysis, it is clear that these mediators can act to the benefit or the detriment of the host.     

Oxidation and nitration of ribonuclease and lysozyme by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase

In spite of the many studies on protein modifications by reactive species, knowledge about the products resulting from the oxidation of protein-aromatic residues, including protein-derived radicals and their stable products, remains limited. Here, we compared the oxidative modifications promoted by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/nitrite in two model proteins, ribonuclease (6Tyr) and lysozyme (3Tyr/6Trp). The formation of protein-derived radicals and products was higher at pH 5.4 and 7.4 for myeloperoxidase and peroxynitrite, respectively. The main product was 3-nitro-Tyr for both proteins and oxidants. Lysozyme rendered similar yields of nitro-Trp, particularly when oxidized by peroxynitrite. Hydroxylated and dimerized products of Trp and Tyr were also produced, but in lower yields. Localization of the main modified residues indicates that peroxynitrite decomposes to radicals within the proteins behaving less specifically than myeloperoxidase. Nitrogen dioxide is emphasized as an important protein modifier.
