New bioactive derivatives of nonactic acid from the marine Streptomyces griseus derived from the plant Salicornia sp.

Three new compounds, butyl homononactate (5), butyl nonactate (6), 8-actyl homononactic acid (7), along with four known compounds homononactic acids (1), nonactic acid (2), homononactyl nonactate (3), homononactyl homononactate (4) were isolated from the marine Streptomyces griseus RSH0407, derived from the plant Salicornia sp., Chenopodiaceae.

Reassessing the role of phospholipase D in the Arabidopsis wounding response

Plants respond to wounding by means of a multitude of reactions, with the purpose of stifling herbivore assault. Phospholipase D (PLD) has previously been implicated in the wounding response. Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) AtPLD α 1 has been proposed to be activated in intact cells, and the phosphatidic acid (PA) it produces to serve as a precursor for jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis and to be required for wounding-induced gene expression. Independently, PLD activity has been reported to have a bearing on wounding-induced MAPK activation. However, which PLD isoforms are activated, where this activity takes place (in the wounded or non-wounded cells) and what exactly the consequences are is a question that has not been comprehensively addressed. Here, we show that PLD activity during the wounding response is restricted to the ruptured cells using ³²P_i-labelled phospholipid analyses of Arabidopsis pld knock-out mutants and PLD -silenced tomato cell-suspension cultures. pldα1 knock-out lines have reduced wounding-induced PA production, and the remainder is completely eliminated in a pldα1 / δ double knock-out line. Surprisingly, wounding-induced protein kinase activation, AtLOX2 gene expression and JA biosynthesis were not affected in these knock-out lines. Moreover, larvae of the Cabbage White butterfly ( Pieris rapae ) grew equally well on wild-type and the pld knock-out mutants.     

On the relationship between the two branches of the kynurenine pathway in the rat brain in vivo

In the mammalian brain, kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT II) and kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO), key enzymes of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan degradation, form the neuroactive metabolites kynurenic acid (KYNA) and 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), respectively. Although physically segregated, both enzymes use the pivotal KP metabolite l -kynurenine as a substrate. We studied the functional consequences of this cellular compartmentalization in vivo using two specific tools, the KAT II inhibitor BFF 122 and the KMO inhibitor UPF 648. The acute effects of selective KAT II or KMO inhibition were studied using a radiotracing method in which the de novo synthesis of KYNA, and of 3-HK and its downstream metabolite quinolinic acid (QUIN), is monitored following an intrastriatal injection of ³H-kynurenine. In naïve rats, intrastriatal BFF 122 decreased newly formed KYNA by 66%, without influencing 3-HK or QUIN production. Conversely, UPF 648 reduced 3-HK synthesis (by 64%) without affecting KYNA formation. Similar, selective effects of KAT II and KMO inhibition were observed when the inhibitors were applied acutely together with the excitotoxin QUIN, which impairs local KP metabolism. Somewhat different effects of KMO (but not KAT II) inhibition were obtained in rats that had received an intrastriatal QUIN injection 7 days earlier. In these neuron-depleted striata, UPF 648 not only decreased both 3-HK and QUIN production (by 77% and 66%, respectively) but also moderately raised KYNA synthesis (by 27%). These results indicate a remarkable functional segregation of the two pathway branches in the brain, boding well for the development of selective KAT II or KMO inhibitors for cognitive enhancement and neuroprotection, respectively.

A simplified method for the estimation of individual amino acid radioactivity in plasma samples

A method is presented for the quantitative estimation of the individual amino acid radioactivity in biological samples. The material is deproteinized with cold acetone, and, after acetone evaporation, is passed through a column containing 1 g of Amberlite XAD-2, then eluted with 10% ethanol. The samples are derivatized with Sanger's reagent (alkaline 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) and passed again through the Amberlite XAD-2 column; the 10% ethanol eluate is now discarded and the DNP-amino acids eluted with acetone. Aliquots are used for TLC chromatography on Silicagel plates; the spots are identified, cut away and their radioactivity estimated. The actual recovery of radioactivity in the spots is about 86-92% of the initial radioactivity. No contamination with radioactive glucose, lactate, pyruvate or glycerol has been observed.     

2D NMR of the Metabolic Antioxidant Dihydrolipoic Acid and its Derivatives

Dihydroplipoate and lipoate are physiological thiols which in addition to their coenzyme functions exhibit antioxidant activity. For NMR investigations of their protective mechanism in biological and model systems it is very important to know the full assignment of proton and carbon spectra of these molecules in water (D₂O). An unambiguous assignment of proton and carbon NMR spectra has been made for dihydrolipoate and its short chain derivatives bisnor-and tetranor-lipoic acid in D₂O and CDCl₃ solutions using 2D NMR methods.

Oxidation of dihydrolipoic acid produces substantial electron density deshielding of the carbons nearest to the SH groups with the largest shift found at the inner SH group (17.79 ppm in D₂O, 16.93 in CDCl₃) and almost no changes in the tail portion of the molecule. However, bisnor-dihydrolipoic acid and especially tetranor-dihydrolipoic acid have more carbon deshielding near the outer SH group of the molecule which correlates with their known diminished ion chelating activity.

Moreover, the proton triplet at position 2 of lipoic acid has strong pH dependence (pK = 4.58) due to the close proximity to the carboxylic group and this feature may be used for monitoring pH.

CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid: Is it synthesized in the nucleus

RadioactiveN-acetylmannosamine was injected intravenously into rats to labelN-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and CMP-NeuAc. Nuclei were isolated from the livers using a non-aqueous technique to prevent leakage of polar metabolites. A preparation was obtained, which was eight times enriched in nuclei based on the ratio DNA/RNA. Free NeuAc and CMP-NeuAc were isolated from this nuclear fraction and from whole liver, and the specific radioactivities were determined. It appeared that at all time points studied, i.e. 1.5, 9.5, and 18 min after injection, the specific radioactivities of free NeuAc as well as of CMP-NeuAc in the nuclear preparation were lower than those in whole liver. Also no significant differences were found between free NeuAc and CMP-NeuAc in the ratio of specific radioactivities in the nuclear fraction/whole liver. Furthermore, no enzyme involved in the synthesis of NeuAc was enriched in the nuclear preparation as compared to various other cytosolic and non-cytosolic enzymes.Because newly synthesized NeuAc is channelled into a special pool and used for activation to CMP-NeuAc [Ferwerda W, Blok CM, van Rinsum J (1983) Biochem J 216:87–92], these results point to a site of activation of NeuAc to CMP-NeuAc other than the nuclear compartment. This might indicate that the nuclear-localized enzyme, CMP-NeuAc synthase, leaves the nucleus before exerting its action.Abbreviations ManNAc kinase (EC 2.7.1.60) ATP:2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-mannose 6-phosphotransferase - GlcNAc kinase (EC 2.7.1.59) ATP:2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose 6-phosphotransferase - NeuAc 9-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.29) N-acetylneuraminate 9-phosphate phosphohydrolase - CMP-NeuAc synthase (EC 2.7.7.43) CTP:N-acetylneuraminic acid cytidylyltransferase - glucose 6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) d-glucose 6-phosphate phosphohydrolase - p-nitrophenylphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1/2) orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase - LDH (EC 1.1.1.27) l-lactate:NAD oxidoreductase - (1-4)-galactsyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.38) -N-acetylglucosaminide (1-4)-galactosyltransferase
