N-acetylhexosaminidase fromNocardia orientalis catalysed the synthesis of lacto-N-triose II glycoside (-d-GlcNAc-(1-3)--d-Gal-(1-4)--d-Glc-OMe,3) with its isomers -d-GlcNAc-(1-6)--d-Gal-(1-4)--d-Glc-OMe (4) and -d-Gal-(1-4)-[-d-GlcNAc-(1-6)]--d-Glc-OMe (5) throughN-acetylglucosaminyl transfer fromN,N-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAc2) to methyl -lactoside. The enzyme formed the mixture of trisac-charides3, 4 and5 in 17% overall yield based on GlcNAc2, in a ratio of 20:21:59. Withp-nitrophenyl -lactoside as an acceptor, the enzyme also producedp-nitrophenyl -lacto-N-trioside II (-d-GlcNAc-(1-3)--d-Gal-(1-4)--d-Glc-OC6H4NO2-p,6) with its isomers -d-GlcNAc-(1-6)--d-Gal-(1-4)--d-Glc-OC6H4NO2-p (7) and -d-Gal-(1-4)-[-d-GlcNAc-(1-6)]--d-Glc-OC6H4NO2-p (8). In this case, when an inclusion complex ofp-nitrophenyl lactoside acceptor with -cyclodextrin was used, the regioselectivity of glycosidase-catalysed formation of trisaccharide glycoside was substantially changed. It resulted not only in a significant increase of the overall yield of transfer products, but also in the proportion of the desired compound6.Abbreviations GlcNAc2

Summary An attempt was made to correlate functional changes in the neurohypophysis of the White-crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii, with morphologic features on the light- and electron-microscope levels. The aldehyde-fuchsin-staining anterior median eminence possesses essentially the same ultrastructural features as the non-staining posterior median eminence. The axon terminals are characterized by the presence of a large number of small vesicles (approximately 400 Å in diameter) and occasional electron-dense granules. The more-or-less depleted anterior median eminence occasionally evident in the photosensitive bird showing testicular development is indistinguishable ultrastructurally from the more intensely staining median eminence generally characteristic of the photorefractory bird. In the median eminence, stainability and functional state do not seem to be correlated with changes in the type, size or number of vesicles. A slight increase in the number of granules was noted in the photorefractory bird but this was considered insufficient basis to account for differences in stainability.The pars nervosa, on the other hand, responded to osmotic stimuli (saline drinking water) by loss of stainability and decrease in numbers of elementary neurosecretory granules. Small vesicles are also present in the pars nervosa axon terminals, but are intermingled with neurosecretory granules in normal birds. Acute-osmotic birds, however, had axon terminals almost entirely occupied by small vesicles.It is to be emphasized that the pars nervosa and the median eminence are two structurally very different regions of the neurohypophysis. The basis for aldehyde-fuchsin staining in the median eminence appears to differ from that in the pars nervosa. The implications of these findings are considered in regard to hypothalamic control over gonadotropic activity in the White-crowned Sparrow.Dedicated to Professor Dr. W. Bargmann in honor of his 60th birthday.This investigation was supported by grant GB-2484 from the National Science Foundation to Professor Bern, grant GB-2819 from the National Science Foundation to Professor Mewaldt, and grant NB-01353 from the National Institutes of Health to Professor Farner.

Histological techniques and paraldehyde-fuchsin (PAF) staining were used to study the synganglion and to locate neurosecretory regions and neurosecretion within the synganglion of the chicken mite, Dermanyssus gallinae. The synganglion, which is formed internally by neuropilar ganglia, gives rise to a single esophageal and paired cheliceral, palpal, pedal (I-IV), and opisthosomal nerves. The neuropilar ganglia are interconnected by commissures and connectives within the synganglion. Twelve PAF-positive neurosecretory regions are present in unfed protonymphs, unfed deutonymphs, virgin males and females, and mated males. There are 11 PAF-positive neurosecretory regions in larvae, 24–72 hours post-fed deutonymphs and mated females. Neurosecretory regions in these developmental stadia are described in relation to their positions adjacent to individual neuropilar ganglia. 相似文献

-Fructofuranosidase fromAspergillus japonicus, which produces 1-kestose (O--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl -d-glucopyranoside) and nystose (O--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl -d-glucopyranoside) from sucrose, was purified to homogeneity by fractionation with calcium acetate and ammonium sulphate and chromatography with DEAE-Cellulofine and Sephadex G-200. Its molecular size was estimated to be about 304,000 Da by gel filtration. The enzyme was a glycoprotein which contained about 20% (w/w) carbohydrate. Optimum pH for the enzymatic reaction was 5.5 to 6. The enzyme was stable over a wide pH range, from pH 4 to 9. Optimum reaction temperature for the enzyme was 60 to 65°C and it was stable below 60°C. The Km value for sucrose was 0.21m. The enzyme was inhibited by metal ions, such as those of silver, lead and iron, and also byp-chloromercuribenzoate. 相似文献

Two trisaccharide glycosides,p-trifluoroacetamidophenylethyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy--d-galactopyranosyl)-2-O-(-l-fucopyranosyl)--d-galactopyranoside andp-trifluoroa-cetamidophenylethyl 2-O-(-l-fucopyranosyl)-3-O-(-d-galactopyranosyl)--d-galactopyranoside, corresponding to the human blood group A and B determinants, were synthesized. A key fucosylgalactosyl disaccharide derivative was glycosylated with galactosaminyl or galactosyl donors, respectively. Dimethyl (thiomethyl)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate was used for thioglycoside activation in coupling reactions. 相似文献

Erythrina lectins possess similar structural and carbohydrate binding properties. Recently, tri- and tetra-antennary complex type carbohydrates with non-reducing terminal galactose residues have been shown to be precipitated as tri- and tetravalent ligands, respectively, with certainErythrina lectins [Bhattacharyya L, Haraldsson M, Brewer CF (1988) Biochemistry 271034-41]. The present work describes a comparative study of the binding and precipitating activities of fourErythrina lectins,viz. E. corallodendron, E. cristagalli, E. flabelliformis, andE. indica, with multi-antennary complex type carbohydrates and synthetic cluster glycosides. The results show that though their binding affinities are very similar, theErythrina lectins show large differences in their precipitating activities with the carbohydrates. The results also indicate significant dependence of the precipitating activities of the lectins on the core structure of the carbohydrates. These findings provide a new dimension to the structure-activity relationship of the lectins and their interactions with asparagine-linked carbohydrates.Abbreviations EAL, ECorL, ECL, EFL, and EIL

Sialyl Lewis X ganglioside analogues containing 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-l-arabino-2-heptulopyranosylonic acid (C7-Neu5Ac), 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-d-galacto-2-octulopyranosylonic acid (C8-Neu5Ac), and 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-l-glycero-d-galacto-1-2-nonulopyranosylonic acid (8-epi-Neu5Ac) in place ofN-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) have been synthesized. Glycosylation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 6-O-benzoyl--d-galactopyranoside with the phenyl or methyl 2-thioglycoside derivatives of the respective sialic acids, usingN-iodosuccinimide (NIS)-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as a promoter in acetonitrile, gave the three required 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl (2S)-sialyl-(2 3)--galactopyranosides. These were converted viaO-benzoylation, selective transformation of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group to acetyl, and introduction of the methylthio group with methylthiotrimethylsilane into the corresponding glycosyl donors. Glycosylation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethylO-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl--l-fucopyranosyl)-(1 3)-O-(2-acetamido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy--d-glucopyranosyl)-(1 3)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl--d-galactopyranoside with these donors in the presence of dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST) afforded the expected -glycosides, which were converted into the corresponding -trichloroacetimidates, and these, on coupling with (2S, 3R, 4E)-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-octadecene-1,3-diol, gave the required -glycosides. Finally, these were transformed via selective reduction of the azide group, condensation with octadecanoic acid,O-deacylation, and de-esterification into the target compounds in good yields. 相似文献

A simple synthesis of octyl 3,6-di-O-(-d-mannopyranosyl)--d-mannopyranoside is described. The key features of the synthetic scheme are the formation of the -mannosidic linkage by 1-O-alkylation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-,-d-mannopyranose with octyl iodide and glycosylation of unprotected octyl -d-mannopyranoside using limiting acetobromomannose.

Organization of genes required for gellan polysaccharide biosynthesis in<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Sphingomonas elodea</Emphasis> ATCC 31461 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Sphingomonas elodea ATCC 31461 produces gellan, a capsular polysaccharide that is useful as a gelling agent for food and microbiological media. Complementation of nonmucoid S. elodea mutants with a gene library resulted in identification of genes essential for gellan biosynthesis. A cluster of 18 genes spanning 21 kb was isolated. These 18 genes are homologous to genes for synthesis of sphingan polysaccharide S-88 from Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31554, with predicted amino acid identities varying from 61% to 98%. Both polysaccharides have the same tetrasaccharide repeat unit, comprised of [4)--l-rhamnose-(13)--d-glucose-(14)--d-glucuronic acid-(14)--d-glucose-(1]. Polysaccharide S-88, however, has mannose or rhamnose in the fourth position and has a rhamnosyl side chain, while gellan has no sugar side chain but is modified by glyceryl and acetyl substituents. Genes for synthesis of the precursor dTDP-l-rhamnose were highly conserved. The least conserved genes in this cluster encode putative glycosyl transferases III and IV and a gene of unknown function, gelF. Three genes (gelI, gelM, and gelN) affected the amount and rheology of gellan produced. Four additional genes present in the S-88 sphingan biosynthetic gene cluster did not have homologs in the gene cluster for gellan biosynthesis. Three of these gene homologs, gelR, gelS, and gelG, were found in an operon unlinked to the main gellan biosynthetic gene cluster. In a third region, a gene possibly involved in positive regulation of gellan biosynthesis was identified. 相似文献

The occurrence of cellobiose cleavage by phosphorolysis and by hydrolysis was investigated in Cellulomonas spec., C. uda, C. flavigena, and C. cartalyticum. Cellobiose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.20) was shown to be produced by Cellulomonas spec. when cellobiose or cellulose was used as sole source of energy and carbon but not with glycerol or glucose. Using inhibitors of protein synthesis as well as double labelling techniques it was shown that cellobiose phosphorylase is synthesized de novo in Cellulomonas spec. Aryl--D-glucosidase which was shown to be present in crude extracts of this microorganism as well is not involved in cellobiose cleavage.Abbreviations oNPGluc

The trisaccharide 2-(p-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)ethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-[2-O-(-l-fucopyranosyl)--d-galactopyranosyl]--d-glucopyranoside 1 and the tetrasaccharide 2-(p-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)ethyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(-l-fucopyranosyl)-4-O-[2-O-(-l-fucopyranosyl)--d-galactopyranosyl]--d-glucopyranoside 2 were synthesized. Thioglycosides, suitably protected, activated directly with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate or activated after bromine treatment with halophilic reagents, were used as glycosyl donors in the construction of the glycosidic linkages.Abbreviations DMTSB

-d-Glucosidase, -d-fucosidase -d-xylosidase, and -cellobiopyranosidase activities in Caecomyces communis, Neocallimastix frontalis, and Piromyces rhizinflata, located with fluorescent conjugates, occur throughout the whole thallus as from zoospore germination and disappear before sporulation. -d-Galactosidase and -l-arabinopyranosidase activities are low or nonexistent. A xylanase, detected by indirect immunofluorescence, was observed at the surface of the vegetative cells, vesicles, or rhizoids. Cross-reactions prove the existence of analogies in structure among the enzymes of these anaerobic gut fungi. 相似文献

Sialyl Lewis X ganglioside analogues containing 4-deoxy-, 6-deoxy-, and 4,6-dideoxy-d-galactopyranose in place ofd-galactopyranose have been synthesized. Glycosylations of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl--d-galactopyranoside and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl -d-fucopyranoside with the phenyl 2-thioglycoside derivative of sialic acid, usingN-iodosuccinimide (NIS)-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) as the promoter in acetonitrile, gave the desired 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sialyl--(23)--d-galactopyranoside and--d-fucopyranoside, respectively. The sialylgalactose derivative obtained was then modified to 4-deoxy and 4,6-dideoxy derivatives. These were converted, byO-benzoylation, transformation of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group to trichloroacetimidates, and introduction of the methylthio group with methylthiomethysilane, into the corresponding glycosyl donors, which were then coupled with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethylO-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl--l-fucopyranosyl)-(13)-O-(2-acetamido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy--d-glucopyranosyl)-(13)-2,4,6- tri-O-benzyl--d-galactopyranoside in the presence of dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST). The resulting pentasaccharides were each converted to the corresponding -trichloroacetimidates, which, on coupling with (2S, 3R, 4E)-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-octadecene-1,3-diol, gave the desired sphingosine derivatives. Selective reduction of the azide group,N-acylation with octadecanoic acid,O-deacylation, and saponification of the methyl ester afforded the target compounds.Synthetic Studies on Sialoglycoconjugates, Part 79. 相似文献

A fucoidan-utilizing marine bacterium, Fucophilus fucoidanolyticus, was cultivated in medium containing fucoidan from Cladosiphon okamuranus. The C. okamuranus fucoidan was digested into oligosaccharides with the intracellular enzymes of F. fucoidanolyticus, and their structures were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. Some of their structures are represented by one general structural formula, (-3L-Fucp1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate)1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate)1-3(D-GlcpUA1-2)L-Fucp1)m-3L-Fucp1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate)1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate) 1-3L-Fucp (m = 0, 1, 2, or 3). We concluded that all oligosaccharides obtained were derived from a sulfated-fucose-containing polysaccharide of C. okamuranus, which has a repeating unit of (-3L-Fucp1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate)1-3L-Fucp(4-O-sulfate)1-3(D-GlcpUA1-2)L-Fucp1-). 相似文献

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) hairy-root culture, established by transformation with the Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, had a higher potential to biotransform (RS)-2-phenylpropionic acid (PPA) to (RS)-2-phenylpropionyl -d-glucopyranoside (1) (71% conversion ratio), (2RS)-2-O-(2-phenylpropionyl)-d-glucose (2) (8%), (2S)-2-phenylpropionyl 6-O--d-xylopyranosyl--d-glucopyranoside (3) (10%) and a myo-inositol ester of (R)-2-phenylpropionic acid (4) (5%). Moreover, the hairy root excreted about a half of the conversion products, 46.8%. The continuous glycosylation of PPA was carried out using a bioreactor with ginseng hairy root, and the continuous long-term reaction for 2 months was successfully made at a high conversion ratio, 30% or more on average.This work is Part 84 in the series Studies on Plant Tissue Culture.

The sialidase secreted byClostridium chauvoei NC08596 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydrophobic interaction-chromatography, FPLC ion-exchange chromatography, and FPLC gel filtration. The enzyme was enriched about 10 200-fold, reaching a final specific activity of 24.4 U mg–1. It has a relatively high molecular mass of 300 kDa and consists of two subunits each of 150 kDa. The cations Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ and bovine serum albumin have a positive effect on the sialidase activity, while Hg2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+, chelating agents and salt decrease enzyme activity. The substrate specificity, kinetic data, and pH optimum of the enzyme are similar to those of other bacterial sialidases.Abbreviations FPLC

Lipid A's from two Bradyrhizobium species and from the phylogenetically closely related species Pseudomonas carboxydovorans were found to contain 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-glucose as lipid A backbone sugar. In contrast, three representatives of the genus Rhizobium, as well as the phylogenetically related species Agrobacterium tumefaciens, contain solely glucosamine as lipid A backbone sugar. These findings suppor independent studies on the phylogenetical relatedness based on 16S rRNA-data of the genus Bradyrhizobium with Pseudomonas carboxydovorans and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, which form a tight phylogenetical cluster and which all contain the 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-glucose-containing lipid A. The relatedness of these species to the glucosamine-containing species of the genus Rhizobium and to Agrobacterium tumefaciens is rather distant as documented by 16S rRNA studies.Abbreviations LPS

A newly isolated strain, MU-2, which produces very high -fructofuranosidase activity, was identified asAspergillus japonicus. For enzyme production by the strain, sucrose at 20% (w/v) was the best carbon source and yeast extract at 1.5 to 3% (w/v) the best nitrogen source. Total enzymatic activity and cell growth were at maximum after 48 h, at 1.57×104 U/flask and 0.81 g dry cells/flask, respectively. The optimum pH value of the enzymatic reaction was between 5.0 and 5.5 and the optimum temperature 60 to 65°C. The enzyme produced 1-kestose (O--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl -d-glucopyranoside) and nystose (O--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl-(21)--d-fructofuranosyl -d-glucopyranoside) from sucrose by fructosyl-transferring activity. The strain was found to be very useful for industrial production of -fructofuranosidase. 相似文献

A stratagem for the synthesis ofneoglycoproteins suitable for the selective serodiagnosis of leprosy is described in which synthetic 3,6-di-O-methyl--d-glucopyranose, the epitope of phenolic glycolipid I fromMycobacterium leprae, was used. Condensation of 8-methoxycarbonyloctanol with the acetobromo derivative of 3,6-di-O-methylglucose gave 8-methoxycarbonyloctyl 2,4-di-O-acetyl-3,6-di-O-methyl--d-glucopyranoside in 65% yield, and with absolute stereospecificity for the anomer. The deacylated product was converted to the crystalline hydrazide and coupled to bovine gamma globulin, bovine serum albumin and poly-d-lysinevia intermediate acyl azide formation to produce the 8-carbonyloctyl 3,6-di-O-methyl--d-glucopyranosyl polypeptides. Theneoglycoproteins were highly sensitive in ELISA and emulated the specificity of the native glycolipid in analysis of sera from patients throughout the spectrum of leprosy and from different geographical regions. The 8-carbonyloctyl 3,6-di-O-methyl--d-glucopyranoside-bovine serum albumin was also synthesized and shown to have about one-half the activity of the -linkedneoglycoprotein. A different synthetic approach produced the 8-carbonyloctyl 4-O-(3,6-di-O-methyl--d-glucopyranosyl)--l-rhamnopyranoside-bovine serum albumin which was also highly sensitive and specific for the serodiagnosis of leprosy. The presence of the second sugar unit, similar to that in the native glycolipid but for the absence ofO-methyl groups, seemed to provide a probe with greater felicity for the serological detection of tuberculoid leprosy.Thus, the results indicate that highly sensitive and specific antigen probes for the serodiagnosis of leprosy can be constructed based only on the terminal one or two sugars of phenolic glycolipid I, and the synthetic approach leads to the formation of haptens with absolute stereospecificity.Nomenclature BGG
