蓝光对水稻幼苗碳水化合物和蛋白质代谢的调节

分别以白光和黑暗处理为对照,蓝光处理１０ｄ的水稻幼苗碳水化合物含量下降,蛋白质含量增加,亚胺环已酮可抑制蓝光引起的蛋白质含量增加。蓝光处理的水稻幼苗总氨基酸含量比白光和黑暗处理分别提高１２％和３６％,游离态Ｇｌｕ、Ａｓｐ含量也比对照增加。蓝光处理促进水稻幼苗的呼吸作用,对丙酮酸激酶、硝酸还原酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶、谷氨酸合酶和转氨酶的活性表现出一致的促进效应。

Effects of Phosphate,HEDTA, and Light Sources on Cr(VI) Retention by Goethite

Iron hydrous hydro(oxide) has been regarded as an important sorbent for Cr(VI) in soil systems due to its wide distribution. However, many factors, such as phosphate (P), organic ligands, and light sources, could influence Cr(VI) retention by the soil components. The existence of inorganic or organic ligands not only competes with solution Cr(VI) for surface sites, but also results in releasing sorbed Cr(VI). Although organic matter can reduce Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III), the reduction rate is extremely slow. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of P on Cr(VI) sorption by goethite. The reduction of Cr(VI) by N-hydroxyethyl-ethylenediamine-triacetic acid (HEDTA) and goethite under different intensity of light was also investigated. Competitive sorption experiment indicated that P had lower inhibition of Cr(VI) sorption when the initial Cr(VI) concentration was higher than P. Goethite suspensions could catalyze Cr(VI) reduction under growth chamber light. Goethite accompanied with light could also accelerate Cr(VI) reduction by HEDTA. This phenomenon could be evidenced by the formation of Cr(III) and decreasing desorption of retained Cr(VI) by P.     

Effects of Membrane Mimetics on Cytochrome P450-Cytochrome b5 Interactions Characterized by NMR Spectroscopy

Mammalian cytochrome P450 (P450) is a membrane-bound monooxygenase whose catalytic activities require two electrons to be sequentially delivered from its redox partners: cytochrome b₅ (cytb₅) and cytochrome P450 reductase, both of which are membrane proteins. Although P450 functional activities are known to be affected by lipids, experimental evidence to reveal the effect of membrane on P450-cytb₅ interactions is still lacking. Here, we present evidence for the influence of phospholipid bilayers on complex formation between rabbit P450 2B4 (CYP2B4) and rabbit cytb₅ at the atomic level, utilizing NMR techniques. General line broadening and modest chemical shift perturbations of cytb₅ resonances characterize CYP2B4-cytb₅ interactions on the intermediate time scale. More significant intensity attenuation and a more specific protein-protein binding interface are observed in bicelles as compared with lipid-free solution, highlighting the importance of the lipid bilayer in stabilizing stronger and more specific interactions between CYP2B4 and cytb₅, which may lead to a more efficient electron transfer. Similar results observed for the interactions between CYP2B4 lacking the transmembrane domain (tr-CYP2B4) and cytb₅ imply interactions between tr-CYP2B4 and the membrane surface, which might assist in CYP2B4-cytb₅ complex formation by orienting tr-CYP2B4 for efficient contact with cytb₅. Furthermore, the observation of weak and nonspecific interactions between CYP2B4 and cytb₅ in micelles suggests that lipid bilayer structures and low curvature membrane surface are preferable for CYP2B4-cytb₅ complex formation. Results presented in this study provide structural insights into the mechanism behind the important role that the lipid bilayer plays in the interactions between P450s and their redox partners.     

Filling a hole in cytochrome P450 BM3 improves substrate binding and catalytic efficiency

Cytochrome P450BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium, a fatty acid hydroxylase, is a member of a very large superfamily of monooxygenase enzymes. The available crystal structures of the enzyme show non-productive binding of substrates with their omega-end distant from the iron in a hydrophobic pocket at one side of the active site. We have constructed and characterised mutants in which this pocket is filled by large hydrophobic side-chains replacing alanine at position 82. The mutants having phenylalanine or tryptophan at this position have very much (approximately 800-fold) greater affinity for substrate, with a greater conversion of the haem iron to the high-spin state, and similarly increased catalytic efficiency. The enzyme as isolated contains bound palmitate, reflecting this much higher affinity. We have determined the crystal structure of the haem domain of the Ala82Phe mutant with bound palmitate; this shows that the substrate is binding differently from the wild-type enzyme but still distant from the haem iron. Detailed analysis of the structure indicates that the tighter binding in the mutant reflects a shift in the conformational equilibrium of the substrate-free enzyme towards the conformation seen in the substrate complex rather than differences in the enzyme-substrate interactions. On this basis, we outline a sequence of events for the initial stages of the catalytic cycle. The Ala82Phe and Ala82Trp mutants are also very much more effective catalysts of indole hydroxylation than the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that they will be valuable starting points for the design of mutants to catalyse synthetically useful hydroxylation reactions.     

Essential Oil of Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. and Zingiber officinale Rosc.: A Comparative Study on Chemical Constituents,Antibacterial Activity,Biofilm Formation,and Inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum Sensing System

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can regulate its pathogenicity via quorum sensing (QS) system. Zingiber cassumunar and Z. officinale have been used for the treatment of infectious diseases. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the chemical constituents, antibacterial, and QS inhibitor of Z. cassumunar essential oils (ZCEO) and Z. officinale essential oils (ZOEO). The chemical constituent was analysed using GC/MS. Broth microdilution and spectrophotometry analysis were used to evaluate their antibacterial and QS inhibitor activities. The main constituent of ZOEO with percent composition above 6 % (α-curcumene, α-zingiberene, β-sesquiphellandrene, and β-bisabolene, α-citral, and α-farnesene) were exist in a very minimal percentage less than 0.7 % in Z. cassumunar. All major components of ZCEO with percentages higher than 5 % (terpinen-4-ol, sabinene, γ-terpinene) were present in low proportion (<1.18 %) in Z. officinale. ZCEO demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa. The combination of ZCEO and tetracycline showed a synergistic effect (FICI of 0.5). ZCEO exhibited strong activity in inhibiting biofilm formation. ZCEO at MIC (62.5 μg/mL) was able to reduce pyoverdine, pyocyanin, and proteolytic activity. This is the first report on the activity of ZCEO in the inhibition of P. aeruginosa QS system and it may be used to control the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa.     

Plasticity of cytochrome P450 2B4 as investigated by hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography

Crystal structures of the xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450 2B4 have demonstrated markedly different conformations in the presence of imidazole inhibitors or in the absence of ligand. However, knowledge of the plasticity of the enzyme in solution has remained scant. Thus, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (DXMS) was utilized to probe the conformations of ligand-free P450 2B4 and the complex with 4-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazole (4-CPI) or 1-biphenyl-4-methyl-1H-imidazole (1-PBI). The results of DXMS indicate that the binding of 4-CPI slowed the hydrogen-deuterium exchange rate over the B'- and C-helices and portions of the F-G-helix cassette compared with P450 2B4 in the absence of ligands. In contrast, there was little difference between the ligand-free and 1-PBI-bound exchange sets. In addition, DXMS suggests that the ligand-free P450 2B4 is predominantly open in solution. Interestingly, a new high resolution structure of ligand-free P450 2B4 was obtained in a closed conformation very similar to the 4-CPI complex. Molecular dynamics simulations performed with the closed ligand-free structure as the starting point were used to probe the energetically accessible conformations of P450 2B4. The simulations were found to equilibrate to a conformation resembling the 1-PBI-bound P450 2B4 crystal structure. The results indicate that conformational changes observed in available crystal structures of the promiscuous xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450 2B4 are consistent with its solution structural behavior.
