To develop an enzymatic measurement of HbA(1C), two key enzymes, i.e., fructosyl peptide oxidase and Aspergillus protease were characterized. Fructosyl peptide oxidase from Eupenicillium terrenum was a flavoenzyme that could catalyze the oxidation of N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His. The enzyme showed high specificity toward alpha-glycated molecules, therefore it seemed suitable for the HbA(1C) assay. Since high levels of FPOX expression seemed toxic to host cells, we applied a gene expression system using a bacteriophage vector and achieved high levels of expression in Escherichia coli. Next, we found that Aspergillus protease was able to digest N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-hexapeptide, a glycated peptide that was released from the beta-chain of HbA(1C) by Glu-C endoproteinase. We showed that the N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His released from N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-hexapeptide by Aspergillus protease could be assayed enzymatically using fructosyl peptide oxidase, therefore these enzymes could be applied to the enzymatic measurement of HbA(1C). 相似文献

Our fungal culture collection was screened for fructosyl peptide oxidase, an enzyme that could be used for the determination of glycated hemoglobin in diabetic subjects with hyperglycemia. Fructosyl peptide oxidases were found in strains of eight genera: Achaetomiella, Achaetomium, Chaetomium, Coniochaeta, Eupenicillium, Gelasinospora, Microascus and Thielavia. By their substrate specificity toward N-fructosyl valyl-histidine (-keto-amine) and N-fructosyl lysine (-keto-amine), fructosyl peptide oxidases could be categorized into two groups: (1) enzymes that oxidize both -keto-amine and -keto-amine, and (2) enzymes that preferably oxidize -keto-amine. A fructosyl peptide oxidase from Achaetomiella virescens ATCC 32393, active toward both N-fructosyl valyl-histidine and N-fructosyl lysine, was purified to homogeneity and characterized. The enzyme was monomeric (Mr=50,000), was most active at 40 °C and pH 8.0, and had a covalently bound flavin as a prosthetic group. Apparent Km values for N-fructosyl valyl-histidine and N-fructosyl lysine were 2.30 and 1.69 mM, respectively. N-fructosyl valyl-histidine was consumed and the same molar amount of valyl-histidine was produced by the fructosyl peptide oxidase reaction. This enzyme could be useful for the measurement of hemoglobin A1C, the N-terminal valine residue of the -subunit of which is glycated.Abbreviations HbA1C Hemoglobin A1C - FPOX Fructosyl peptide oxidase - FAOX Fructosyl amino acid oxidase - Fru-ValHis N-fructosyl valyl-histidine - Fru-Val N-fructosyl valine - Fru-Lys N-fructosyl lysine - Fru-Gly Fructosyl glycine - TOOS N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylaniline, sodium salt 相似文献

Fructosyl peptide oxidases are valuable for the determination of glycoproteins such as hemoglobin A1c. For practical use in
clinical diagnosis, we applied directed evolution to improve the thermostability of these enzymes. After two rounds of random
mutagenesis and high-throughput screening, six thermostabilizing amino acid substitutions were identified. Therefore, site-directed
and cassette mutageneses were applied to combine these six stabilizing mutations. The simultaneous mutants showed that the
stabilizing effect of the amino acid replacement was cumulative. The sextuple mutant enzyme, R94K/G184D/F265L/N272D/H302R/H388Y,
had a half-life of thermal inactivation at 50°C that was 79.8-fold longer than that of the parental fructosyl peptide oxidase.
The thermostable variants also showed increased tolerance to digestion by a protease. The sextuple mutant enzyme did not lose
its activity on incubation with neutral protease, while the wild-type enzyme almost completely lost its activity. Furthermore,
three amino acid substitutions were introduced into another fructosyl peptide oxidase with a different substrate specificity.
The half-life of inactivation at 50°C was 3.61-fold longer than that of the parent enzyme. These engineered fructosyl peptide
oxidases will be useful for industrial application to clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

The measurement of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has important implications for diagnosis of diabetes and assessment of treatment effectiveness. We proposed specific sequence motifs to identify enzymes that oxidize glycated compounds from genome database searches. The gene encoding a putative fructosyl amino acid oxidase was found in the Phaeosphaeria nodorum SN15 genome and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein (XP_001798711) was confirmed to be a novel fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) with high specificity for α‐glycated compounds, such as HbA1c model compounds fructosyl‐αN‐valine (f‐αVal) and fructosyl‐αN‐valyl‐histidine (f‐αVal‐His). Unlike previously reported FPOXs, the P. nodorum FPOX has a Km value for f‐αVal‐His (0.185 mM) that is considerably lower than that for f‐αVal (0.458 mM). Based on amino acid sequence alignment, three dimensional structural modeling, and site‐directed mutagenesis, Gly60 was found to be a determining residue for the activity towards f‐αVal‐His. A flexible surface loop region was also found to likely play an important role in accepting f‐αVal‐His. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2010; 106: 358–366. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level in blood is a measure of long-term glycemic status in patients with diabetes mellitus. Current clinical methods for determination of the HbA1c level include electrophoresis/electroendosmosis, ion exchange chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, boronate affinity chromatography, immunoassay, and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectroscopy in addition to fluorometry and colorimetry. These methods have certain drawbacks such as being complex, time-consuming, and requiring expensive apparatus and trained persons to operate. These drawbacks were overcome by biosensing methods. We review these biosensors, which are based on (i) measurement of electrons, that is, current generated from splitting of hydrogen peroxide released during oxidation of fructosyl valine by immobilized fructosyl amino acid oxidase, which is directly proportional to HbA1c concentration, and (ii) direct measurement of HbA1c by some specific reaction. HbA1c biosensors work optimally within 4 to 1800 s, between pH 7.0 and 9.0 and between 25 and 45 °C, and in the range of 1 to 10,000 μM, with a detection limit between 20 and 500 μM and sensitivity between 4.6 nA and 21.5 μA mM−1 cm−2 and stable over a period of 5 to 90 days. We suggest the ways to modify existing HbA1c biosensors, leading to simple, reliable, and economical sensors ideally suited for point-of-care treatment. 相似文献

Fructosyl peptide oxidase is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deglycation of N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His, a model compound of hemoglobin (Hb)A1C. To develop an enzymatic method for the measurement of HbA1C, we screened for a proper protease using N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-hexapeptide as a substrate. Several proteases, including Neutral protease from Bacillus polymyxa, were found to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His efficiently, however no protease was found to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val. Neutral protease also digested HbA1C to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His, and then the fructosyl peptide was detected using fructosyl peptide oxidase. The linear relationship was observed between the concentration of HbA1C and the absorbancy of fructosyl peptide oxidase reaction, hence this new method is a practical means for measuring HbA1C. 相似文献

Aeropyrum pernix K1 is a strictly aerobic and hyperthermophilic archaeon that thrives even at 100 degrees C. The archaeon is quite interesting with respect to the evolution of aerobic electron transport systems and the thermal stability of the respiratory components. An isolated membrane fraction was found to oxidize bovine cytochrome c.The activity was solubilized in the presence of detergents and separated into two fractions by successive chromatography. Two cytochrome oxidases, designated as CO-1 and CO-2, were further purified. CO-1 was a ba(3)-type cytochrome containing at least two subunits. Chemically digested fragments of CO-1 revealed a peptide with a sequence identical to a part of a putative cytochrome oxidase subunit I encoded by the gene ape1623. CO-2, an aa(3)-type cytochrome, was present in lower amounts than CO-1 and was immunologically identified as a product of aoxABC gene (DDBJ accession no. AB020482). Both cytochromes reacted with carbon monoxide. The apparent K(m) values of CO-1 and CO-2 for oxygen were 5.5 and 32 micro M, respectively, at 25 degrees C. The terminal oxidases CO-1 and CO-2 phylogenetically correspond to the SoxB and SoxM branches, respectively, of the heme-copper oxidase tree. 相似文献

Current enzymatic methods for the analysis of glycated proteins use flavoenzymes that catalyze the oxidative deglycation of
fructosyl peptides, designated as fructosyl peptidyl oxidases (FPOXs). However, as FPOXs are oxidases, the signals derived
from electron mediator-type electrochemical monitoring based on them are affected by dissolved O2. Improvement of dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity of FPOXs and its application to enzyme electrode construction were therefore
undertaken. Saturation mutagenesis study on Asn56 of FPOX from Phaeosphaeria nodorum, produced mutants with marked decreases in the catalytic ability to employ O2 as the electron acceptor, while showing higher dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity employing artificial electron acceptors
than the parental enzyme. Thus constructed virtually fructosyl peptide dehydrogenase, Asn56Ala, was then applied to produce
an enzyme electrode for the measurement of fructosyl-α
N-valyl-histidine (f-αVal-His), the protease-digested product of HbA1c. The enzyme electrode could measure f-αVal-His in the physiological target range in air. 相似文献

A series of N,N'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)diamines was synthesized and characterized for their inhibition effects towards plant copper-containing amine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) and polyamine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.11), which mediate the catabolic regulation of cellular polyamines. Even though these enzymes catalyze related reactions and, among others, act upon two common substrates (spermidine and spermine), their molecular and kinetic properties are different. They also show a different spectrum of inhibitors. It is therefore of interest to look for compounds providing a dual inhibition (i.e. inhibiting both enzymes with the same inhibition potency), which would be useful in physiological studies involving modulations of polyamine catabolism. The synthesized diamine derivatives comprised from two to eight carbon atoms in the alkyl spacer chain. Kinetic measurements with pea (Pisum sativum) diamine oxidase and oat (Avena sativa) polyamine oxidase demonstrated reversible binding of the compounds at the active sites of the enzymes as they were almost exclusively competitive inhibitors with K(i) values ranging from 10(-5) to 10(-3)M. In case of oat polyamine oxidase, the K(i) values were significantly influenced by the number of methylene groups in the inhibitor molecule. The measured inhibition data are discussed with respect to enzyme structure. For that reason, the oat enzyme was analyzed by de novo peptide sequencing using mass spectrometry and shown to be homologous to polyamine oxidases from barley (isoform 1) and maize. We conclude that some of the studied N,N'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)diamines might have a potential to be starting structures in design of metabolic modulators targeted to both types of amine oxidases. 相似文献

This paper describes the cloning and functional analysis of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) fructan 1-exohydrolase I cDNA (1-FEH I). To our knowledge it is the first plant FEH cloned. Full-length cDNA was obtained by a combination of RT-PCR, 5' and 3' RACE using primers based on N-terminal and conserved amino acid sequences. Electrophoretically purified 1-FEH I enzyme was further analyzed by in-gel trypsin digestion followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization and electrospray time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. Functionality of the cDNA was demonstrated by heterologous expression in potato tubers. 1-FEH I takes a new, distinct position in the phylogenetic tree of plant glycosyl hydrolases being more homologous to cell-wall invertases (44-53%) than to vacuolar invertases (38-41%) and fructosyl transferases (33-38%). The 1-FEH I enzyme could not be purified from the apoplastic fluid at significantly higher levels than can be explained by cellular leakage. These and other data suggest a vacuolar localization for 1-FEH I. Also, the pI of the enzyme (6.5) is lower than expected from a typical cell-wall invertase. Unlike plant fructosyl transferases that are believed to have evolved from a vacuolar invertase, 1-FEH I might have evolved from a cell-wall invertase-like ancestor gene that later obtained a vacuolar targeting signal. 1-FEH I mRNA quantities increase in the roots throughout autumn, and especially when roots are stored at low temperature. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens AgaE-like protein had a similar sequence to that of a fructosyl amino acid oxidase from Corynebacterium sp. strain 2-4-1. To characterize the AgaE-like protein, we produced the enzyme in Escherichia coli, and purified it to homogeneity. The molecular mass of recombinant AgaE-like protein was 42 kDa on SDS-PAGE and 85 kDa on gel filtration. The protein acted on N-fructosyl valine and N-fructosyl glycine as substrates, but not on glycated protein or N(epsilon)-fructosyl lysine. Apparent Km for N-fructosyl valine and N-fructosyl glycine were 1.64 and 0.31 mM, respectively. The AgaE-like protein had maximum activity at pH 7.8 and 35 degrees C in 0.1 M potassium phosphate, but more than 80% of its activity was lost at 40 degrees C or more. In contrast to eukaryotic fructosyl amino acid oxidases, the AgaE-like protein contained noncovalently bound FAD as a cofactor and was inactive against N(epsilon)-fructosyl N(alpha)-Z(benzyloxycarbonyl)-lysine. These characteristics were similar to a fructosyl amino acid oxidase from Corynebacterium sp. strain 2-4-1, suggesting that these prokaryotic enzymes comprise a new family of fructosyl amino acid oxidases. 相似文献

To counter antibiotic-resistant bacteria, we screened the Kitasato Institute for Life Sciences Chemical Library with bacterial quinol oxidase, which does not exist in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We identified five prenylphenols, LL-Z1272β, γ, δ, ? and ζ, as new inhibitors for the Escherichia coli cytochrome bd. We found that these compounds also inhibited the E. coli bo-type ubiquinol oxidase and trypanosome alternative oxidase, although these three oxidases are structurally unrelated. LL-Z1272β and ? (dechlorinated derivatives) were more active against cytochrome bd while LL-Z1272γ, δ, and ζ (chlorinated derivatives) were potent inhibitors of cytochrome bo and trypanosome alternative oxidase. Thus prenylphenols are useful for the selective inhibition of quinol oxidases and for understanding the molecular mechanisms of respiratory quinol oxidases as a probe for the quinol oxidation site. Since quinol oxidases are absent from mammalian mitochondria, LL-Z1272β and δ, which are less toxic to human cells, could be used as lead compounds for development of novel chemotherapeutic agents against pathogenic bacteria and African trypanosomiasis. 相似文献

Enzymatic reversal of the Maillard reaction is a growing area of research. Fructosyl amine oxidase enzymes (EC 1.5.3) have attracted recent attention through demonstration of their ability to deglycate Amadori products, low molecular weight intermediates formed during the early stage of the Maillard reaction. Although stopped assays have been described, a bottleneck in current studies is the lack of continuous kinetic assays. Here, we describe the development of a continuous, coupled enzyme assay and its successful application to determining optimal storage conditions and the steady-state kinetic parameters of an enzyme from this group, amadoriase I. A K(m)(app) of 11 microM and a K(cat)(app) of 3.5s(-1) were determined using this assay using fructosyl propylamine as a substrate, which differ from previous reports. This method was also used to test the activity of two site-directed mutants of amadoriase I, H357N and S370A, which were found to be catalytically inactive. 相似文献

A three-dimensional structural model of fructosyl amine oxidase from the marine yeast Pichia N1-1 was generated using the crystal structure of monomeric sarcosine oxidase from Bacillus sp. B-0618 as template. The putative active site region was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis, identifying several amino acid residues likely playing important roles in the enzyme reaction. Asn354 was identified as a residue that plays an important role in substrate recognition and that can be substituted in order to change substrate specificity while maintaining high catalytic activity. While the Asn354Ala substitution had no effect on the V

NADPH oxidase organizer 1 (Noxo1), harboring a PX domain, two SH3 domains, and a proline-rich region (PRR), participates in activation of superoxide-producing Nox-family NADPH oxidases. Here, we show that Noxo1 supports superoxide production in a cell-free system for gp91(phox)/Nox2 activation by arachidonic acid. This lipid enhances an SH3-mediated binding of Noxo1 to p22(phox), a protein complexed with Nox oxidases; the binding is known to be required for Nox activation. We also demonstrate that the bis-SH3 domain directly interacts with the Noxo1 PRR. The interaction appears to prevent the bis-SH3 domain and PRR from binding to their target proteins; disruption of the intramolecular interaction facilitates Noxo1 binding to p22(phox) and also allows the PRR to associate with the Nox activator Noxa1, which association is crucial for Nox activation as well. These findings suggest that Nox activation involves a conformational change leading to disruption of the bis-SH3-PRR interaction in Noxo1. 相似文献

A set of 20 Mollicutes strains representing different lines of descent, including the type species of the genus Mycoplasma, Mycoplasma mycoides, Acholeplasma laidlawii and a strain of Mesoplasma, were subjected to polar lipid and fatty acid analyses in order to evaluate their suitability for classification purposes within members of this group. Complex polar lipid and fatty acid profiles were detected for each examined strain. All strains contained the polar lipids phosphocholine-6'-alpha-glucopyranosyl-(1'-3)-1, 2-diacyl-glycerol (MfGL-I), 1-O-alkyl/alkenyl-2-O-acyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MfEL), sphingomyelin (SphM), 1-O-alkyl/alkenyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lysoMfEL), the unknown aminophospholipid APL1 and the cholesterol Chol2. A total of 19 strains revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and/or phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and the presence of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) was detected in 13 strains. The unknown aminolipid AL1 was found in the extracts of 17 strains. Unbranched saturated and unsaturated compounds predominated in the fatty acid profiles. Major fatty acids were usually C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 omega9c and 'Summed feature 5' (C18:2 omega6, 9c/C18:0 anteiso). Our results demonstrated that members of the M. mycoides cluster showed rather homogenous polar lipid and fatty acid profiles. In contrast, each of the other strains was characterized by a unique polar lipid profile and significant quantitative differences in the presence of certain fatty acids. These results indicate that analyses of both polar lipid and fatty acid profiles could be a useful tool for classification of mycoplasmas. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides contains two enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductases, FabI(1) and FabI(2). However, FabI(1) displays most of the cellular enzyme activity. The spontaneous diazaborine-resistant mutation was mapped as substitution of glutamine for proline 155 (P155Q) of FabI(1). The mutation of FabI(1)[P155Q] increased the specificity constants (k(cat)/K(m)) for crotonyl-ACP and NADH by more than 2-fold, while the site-directed mutation G95S (FabI(1)[G95S]), corresponding to the well-known G93 mutation of Escherichia coli FabI, rather decreased the values. Inhibition kinetics of the enzymes revealed that triclosan binds to the enzyme in the presence of NAD(+), while the diazaborine appears to interact with NADH and NAD(+) in the enzyme active site. The apparent inhibition constant K(i)(') of triclosan for FabI(1)[P155Q] and FabI(1)[G95S] at saturating NAD(+) were approximately 80- and 3-fold higher than that for the wild-type enzyme, respectively, implying that the inhibition was remarkably impaired by the P155Q mutation. The similar levels of K(i)(') of diazaborine for the mutant enzymes were also observed with respect to NAD(+). Thus, the novel mutation P155Q appears to disturb the binding of inhibitors to the enzyme without affecting the catalytic efficiency. 相似文献

Bacterial periplasmic proteins (bPBPs) undergo drastic conformational changes upon binding substrate, making them appealing as novel molecular recognition tools for biosensing. A putative bPBP-encoding gene, socA, belongs to the soc operon responsible for santhopine (fructosyl glutamine, FQ) catabolism of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The socA gene was isolated and expressed in Escherichia coli as a soluble 28.8kDa periplasmic protein to investigate its properties as a potential bPBP for fructosyl amino acid (FA). The autofluorescence of SocA was used to monitor the protein's conformational change resulting from substrate binding. The fluorescence intensity changed upon binding FQ in a concentration dependent manner with a calculated K(d) of 2.1muM, but was unaffected by the presence of sugars or amino acid. Our results demonstrate that SocA is a novel FA bPBP that can be utilized as a novel molecular recognition element for the monitoring of FA. 相似文献

Mapping eIF5A binding sites for Dys1 and Lia1: in vivo evidence for regulation of eIF5A hypusination 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The evolutionarily conserved factor eIF5A is the only protein known to undergo hypusination, a unique posttranslational modification triggered by deoxyhypusine synthase (Dys1). Although eIF5A is essential for cell viability, the function of this putative translation initiation factor is still obscure. To identify eIF5A-binding proteins that could clarify its function, we screened a two-hybrid library and identified two eIF-5A partners in S. cerevisiae: Dys1 and the protein encoded by the gene YJR070C, named Lia1 (Ligand of eIF5A). The interactions were confirmed by GST pulldown. Mapping binding sites for these proteins revealed that both eIF5A domains can bind to Dys1, whereas the C-terminal domain is sufficient to bind Lia1. We demonstrate for the first time in vivo that the N-terminal alpha-helix of Dys1 can modulate enzyme activity by inhibiting eIF5A interaction. We suggest that this inhibition be abrogated in the cell when hypusinated and functional eIF5A is required. 相似文献
