Shark cartilage proteoglycans bear predominantly chondroitin 6-sulfate. After exhaustive protease digestion, reductive beta-elimination and subsequent chondroitinase ABC digestion, 13 hexasaccharide alditols were obtained from the carbohydrate-protein linkage region and six of them contain 0 or 1 sulfate and/or 1 phosphate residue (Sugahara, K., Ohi, Y., Harada, T., de Waard, P., and Vliegenthart, J. F. G. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 6027-6035). The other seven compounds, which represent approximately 60% of the isolated linkage hexasaccharides, were analyzed by chondroitinase ACII digestion in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography and by 500-MHz one- and two dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. All seven compounds have the following conventional structure in common. [formula: see text] Two disulfated compounds have an O-sulfate on C-6 of the Gal-2 residue attached to xylitol in combination with an O-sulfate on C-4 or on C-6 of the GalNAc residue. The third disulfated compound has O-sulfate on C-6 of Gal-2, and also on C-6 of Gal-3. Two of the trisulfated compounds also have O-sulfate on C-6 of both Gal-2 and Gal-3 with in addition sulfate on C-6 or C-4 of GalNAc. The other two trisulfated compounds have O-sulfate on C-6 of Gal-2 and on C-4 of Gal-3 in conjunction with sulfate on C-6 or C-4 of GalNAc. 相似文献

Two polymeric water-soluble fractions were isolated by gel filtration after mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa N.C.T.C. 1999. The fraction of higher molecular weight retained the O-antigenic specificity of the lipopolysaccharide and may be 'side-chain' material. This fraction was rich in N (about 10%) and gave several basic amino compounds on acid hydrolysis; fucosamine (at least 2.8% w/w) was the only specifc component identified. The fraction of lower molecular weight was a phosphorylated polysaccharide apparently corresponding to 'core' material. The major components of this fraction and their approximate molar proportions were: glucose (3-4); rhamnose (1); heptose (2); 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid (1); galactosamine (1); alanine (1-1.5); phosphorus (6-7). In the intact lipopolysaccharide this fraction was probably linked to lipid A via a second residue of 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid, and probably also contained additional phosphate residues and ethanolamine. The residues of 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid were apparently substituted in the C-4 or C-5 position, and the phosphorylated heptose residues in the C-3 position. The rhamnose was mainly 2-substituted, though a little 3-substitution was detected. The glucose residues were either unsubstituted or 6-substituted. Four neutral oligosaccharides were produced by partial acid hydrolysis and were characterized by chemical, enzymic, chromatographic and mass-spectrometric methods of analysis. The structures assigned were: Glcpalpha1-6Glc; Glcpbeta1-2Rha; Rhapalpha1-6Glc; Glcpbeta1-2Rhapalpha1-6Glc. The galactosamine was substituted in the C-3 or C-4 position, the attachment of alanine was indicated, and evidence that the amino sugar linked the glucose-rhamnose region to the 'inner core' was obtained. 相似文献

Two proteins in the rat, androgen binding protein (ABP) and the cytoplasmic receptor (CR), have high affinity and limited capacity for binding androgens. To determine the structural requirements for binding with high affinity, each protein was partially purified and the ability of over 100 steroids to compete with [3H]dihydrotestosterone (17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one) for binding sites was assessed. The results indicate marked differences in the steroid specificities of the two proteins. Some alterations of dihydrotestosterone at C-2 or C-2 and C-3 increase binding to ABP two to four-fold. Similarly, the affinity of 17 beta-hydroxy-7 alpha-methyl-4-estren-3-one for ABP increases two-fold when a double bond is created at C-14. Addition of a methyl group in the alpha position at C-7 or C-17, or an ethinyl group at C-17 cause little change in affinity; however, modifications at C-11 and C-17 beta, and deletion of the methyl group at C-10 significantly impair binding to ABP. Binding to the CR is maintained or increased by deletion of the methyl group at C-10. Binding is lessened by modifications at C-3 and C-17 beta. Most alterations at C-2, C-7, C-11, and C-17 alpha have only minor effects on binding to the CR. These studies should provide a molecular basis for predicting the effects of specific structural modifications. When some modifications at C-2 or C-2 and C-3 are combined with changes at C-17 beta, the resulting steroids retain very high affinity for ABP and very limited binding to the CR. Such steroids may provide a means for assessing the function of ABP. 相似文献

We have detected in rat liver cytosol three enzymes (termed C-1, C-2, and C-3) which cleaved the RNA moiety of RNA-DNA hybrid. These enzymes were separated from each other by DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. C-1 and C-2 specifically act on the RNA moiety of RNA-DNA hybrid, while C-3 degrades single-stranded RNA as well as the RNA of the hybrid. The molecular weights of C-1, C-2, and C-3 are about 110,000, 35,000 and 110,000 daltons, respectively, and their activities are absolutely dependent on divalent cations such as Mg2+ and Mn2+. Cleavage by C-1 and C-2 is endonucleolytic, producing mostly oligonucleotides and a small amount of mononucleotides which possess 3'-hydroxyl termini. It seems likely that C-2 is originally present in the nucleus and is released into cytosol because of its loose binding to the nuclear components. As for biochemical properties, C-1 is very similar to the cytosol ribonuclease H initially reported by Roewekamp and Sekeris, and C-2 is very similar to the nuclear ribonuclease H reported by us in the preceding paper. 相似文献

Pea leaves were illuminated in air containing 150 or 1000p.p.m. of 14CO2 for various times. Alternatively, segments of wheat leaves were supplied with [3-14C]serine for 40 min in the light in air with 145, 326 or 944p.p.m. of 12CO2. Sucrose was extracted from the leaf material, hydrolysed with invertase, and 14C in the pairs of carbon atoms C-3+C-4, C-2+C-5 and C-1+C-6 in the glucose moiety was measured. The results obtained after metabolism of 14CO2 were consistent with the operation of the photosynthetic carbon-reduction cycle; the effects of CO2 concentration on distribution of 14C in the carbon chain of glucose after metabolism of [3-14C]serine is more easily explained by metabolism through the glycollate pathway than by the carbon-reduction cycle. 相似文献

Host resistance is the most economical way to manage wheat stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. Slow rusting, a type of quantitative resistance, has been reported to last for a long time. Quantitative resistance, in terms of slow rusting parameters including final rust severity (FRS), apparent infection rate (r), relative area under disease progress curve (rAUDPC) and coefficient of infection (CI), was evaluated in a set of 29 wheat genotypes along with susceptible control during 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 cropping seasons. This study was conducted in field plots at Ardabil Agricultural Research Station (Iran) under natural infection conditions with two times artificial inoculation. Artificial inoculation was carried out by yellow rust inoculum having virulent genes against Yr2, Yr6, Yr7, Yr9, Yr22, Yr23, Yr24, Yr25, Yr26, Yr27, YrA and YrSU. Results of mean comparison for resistance parameters showed that lines C-86-1, C-86-2, C-87-1 and C-87-3 along with susceptible had the highest values of FRS, CI, r and rAUDPC, therefore were selected as susceptible lines. The lines C-86-3, C-86-9, C-87-2, C-87-6, C-87-8, C-87-11 and C-87-18 were susceptible at the seedling stage and had low level infection at adult plant stage. Consequently, these lines with low different parameters most probably have slow rusting resistance. The remaining lines had no infection or were at low level of infection. Thus, they were selected as resistant or moderately resistant lines. In this study, correlation coefficient between different parameters of slow rusting was significantly high (r = 0.92–0.99). 相似文献

The capsular polysaccharide from E. Coli, strain K5 composed of ...-->4)beta-D-GlcA(1-->4)alpha-D-GlcNAc(1-->4)beta-D-GlcA (1-->..., chemically modified K5 polysaccharides, bearing sulfates at C-2 and C-6 of the hexosamine moiety and at the C-2 of the glucuronic acid residues as well as 2-O desulfated heparin were used as substrates to study the specificity of heparitinases I and II and heparinase from Flavobacterium heparinum. The natural K5 polysaccharide was susceptible only to heparitinase I forming deltaU-GlcNAc. N-deacetylated, N-sulfated K5 became susceptible to both heparitinases I and II producing deltaU-GlcNS. The K5 polysaccharides containing sulfate at the C-2 and C-6 positions of the hexosamine moiety and C-2 position of the glucuronic acid residues were susceptible only to heparitinase II producing deltaU-GlcNS,6S and deltaU,2S-GlcNS,6S respectively. These combined results led to the conclusion that the sulfate at C-6 position of the glucosamine is impeditive for the action of heparitinase I and that heparitinase II requires at least a C-2 or a C-6 sulfate in the glucosamine residues of the substrate for its activity. Iduronic acid-2-O-desulfated heparin was susceptible only to heparitinase II producing deltaU-GlcNS,6S. All the modified K5 polysaccharides as well as the desulfated heparin were not substrates for heparinase. This led to the conclusion that heparitinase II acts upon linkages containing non-sulfated iduronic acid residues and that heparinase requires C-2 sulfated iduronic acid residues for its activity. 相似文献

1. The utilization of d-[1-(14)C]- and d-[6-(14)C]-glucose in the biosynthesis of l-rhamnose units of plum-leaf polysaccharides has been studied. 2. After the precursors had been metabolized in the leaves, polysaccharide fractions were prepared therefrom and the constituent l-rhamnose was isolated and purified. 3. Both the specific activity and the distribution of (14)C along the carbon chain of l-rhamnose from two polysaccharide fractions from each experiment were determined. 4. The results indicated a close affinity between l-rhamnose and pectin, and show that biosynthesis of the 6-deoxyhexose from d-glucose occurs in the main without scission or inversion of the carbon chain. 5. A degradation scheme for l-rhamnose via l-rhamnitol was described which gives the labelling at C-1, C-2+C-3+C-4,C-5 and C-6 on a 0.3millimole scale. 相似文献

It is suggested from analysis of proton spin-spin coupling constants that the tetrahydropyrazine ring of tetrahydrofolate is a roughly equal mixture of two half-chair conformations, one with the C-6 proton axial and the other with the C-6 proton equatorial. The chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants for the carbon-bound protons of (+/-)-L-, (-)-L-, and (-)-L-[6-2H] 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate were measured at 25 degrees and at 300 MHZ. The resonances corresponding to the two C-7 protons in the deuterated compound constituted an AB quartet with JAB of 12 Hz and chemical shift difference of 92 Hz or 0.307 ppm; the C-7 protons are proposed to be a geminally coupled axial-equatorial pair whose rapid equilibration does not result in equivalence due to the adjacent chiral center at C-6. The spin-spin splitting in the C-7 resonances were 3.0 and 6.6 Hz for the low field and high field resonances, respectively, reflecting coupling to the C-6 proton. These coupling constants reflect the conformational equilibrium. The resonances assignable to C-9 protons are nearly equivalent in the 6-2H compound, but exhibit the resonances corresponding to a complex spin system in the 6-H compound. 相似文献

1. Using derivatives or non-symmetrical analogs of alpha,alpha-trehalose, we studied the catalytic specificities of trehalases from various species: Pseudomonas fluorescens, Melolontha vulgaris, porcine and human kidneys. 2. alpha,Beta-trehalose, beta,beta-trehalose, 6,6'dideoxy alpha,alpha-trehalose, alpha-D-xylopyranosyl alpha-D-xylopyranoside were shown to be neither substrates nor inhibitors. 3. 6'deoxy alpha,alpha-trehalose, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl alpha-D-xylopyranoside, alpha-D-allopyranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside and alpha-D-galactosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside, which all possess an intact alpha-D-glucopyranosyl residue, were split by all these trehalases. 4. alpha-D-glucopyranosyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside, alpha,alpha-trehalosamine are competitive inhibitors. 5. These results show the importance of the primary alcohol group at C-6, of the equatorial configuration of the OH groups at C-2, C-3 and C-4 and of the modification of the structure at C-2 of the substrate for the catalytic activity. 相似文献

Effect of lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination on the Ca(2+)-dependent interactions of human C1s. Location of the iodination sites. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C-1s, one of the two serine proteases of C-1, the first component of complement, has the ability to mediate heterologous (C-1r-C-1s) as well as homologous (C-1s-C-1s) Ca(2+)-dependent interactions both involving the NH2-terminal alpha region of its A chain. Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of C-1s in its monomeric form was found to abolish its ability to form Ca(2+)-dependent homodimers, without impairing its ability to mediate C-1r-C-1s heteroassociation. C-1s iodinated in its dimeric form, in contrast, fully retained the ability to self-associate. With a view to identify the tyrosine residues iodinated in each case, C-1s was radioiodinated in its monomeric and dimeric forms, and comparative tryptic mapping was performed on the resulting 125I-labeled A chains. Most of the tyrosine residues either were not iodinated or were equivalently but not in the dimer. Conversely, Tyr-52 and Tyr-147 were iodinated only in the dimer. These results provide further evidence that the structural determinants of C-1s required for Ca2+ binding and Ca(2+)-dependent protein-protein interactions are contributed by both the NH2-terminal motif I (positions 1-110) and the epidermal growth factor like motif II (positions 111-159) of the alpha region. On the basis of available information, tentative models of the C-1s-C-1s and C-1r-C-1s Ca(2+)-dependent interactions are proposed. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of alginate by a mucoid strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from a cystic-fibrosis patient, was monitored by using 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy of bacterial cultures incubated with 1-13C- or 2-13C-enriched fructose. When 1-13C- or 2-13C-enriched fructose was used as the precursor of alginate, enrichment with 13C in the constituent uronic acid monomers of the polysaccharide could only be detected in C-1 or C-2 respectively, indicating that alginate is synthesized in Ps. aeruginosa directly from fructose, with the hexose molecule being retained intact; this rules out the involvement of C3 intermediates, which occurs when glucose is the alginate precursor. The absence of detectable poly-L-gluluronate block sequences from the alginate of Ps. aeruginosa was confirmed, and it was shown that there is no modification of the arrangement of the constituent uronic acids between polymerization to form alginate and the appearance of the mature alginate in the extracellular medium. The 13C-n.m.r. data also provided independent evidence for acetylation on D-mannuronate residues and for the ratio of D-mannuronate to L-guluronate residues in newly synthesized alginate, which had previously been determined only for material secreted from bacteria into the extracellular medium. 相似文献

An in vivo response of glucose oxidation to growth hormone has been demonstrated. Hypophysectomized rats were found to oxidize glucose at rates significantly higher than normal rats. Treatment with growth hormone 1 h before injection of 14C-U-glucose, 14C-6-glucose, or 14C-1-glucose caused a return to a normal oxidation pattern. This acute response was independent of insulin action but clearly time-dependent since no change from untreated hypophysectomized rats appeared when growth hormone was given at various times prior to administration of labeled glucose. The response observed for 14C-6-glucose was comparable to that observed for 14C-1-glucose with regard to dynamics but differed with respect to total 14C recovered as 14CO2. The cumulative percent 14CO2 recovered from oxidation of 14C-6-glucose 1 h after growth hormone injection exceeded that recovered from oxidation of 14C-1-glucose. These results suggest a change in glucose oxidation by a route that cannot be explained solely by changes in either the hexose monophosphate or Embden-Meyerhof pathways. 相似文献

Membrane turnover in outer segments of Rana pipiens red rods (ROS) was studied in tadpoles maintained under cyclic lighting (12L:12D) at 23 degrees, 28 degrees, and 33 degrees C. Large fragments (greater than 2 microns in diameter or length) were shed from the ROS tips shortly after the onset of light. These were phagocytized by the pigment epithelium (PE) which caused an increase in the number of phagosomes greater than 2 microns in size (large phagosomes). Large phagosomes were present in highest numbers 2-4 h after light exposure and were degraded by 8-12 h. The proportion of ROS that shed each day after the onset of the light cycle increased with increment increases in temperatures (23 degrees C-18%, 28 degrees C-33%, 33 degrees C-42% per day), resulting, in a reduction in the average interval of time between repeated sheddings (23 degrees C-5.6 days, 28 degrees C-3 days, 33 degrees C-2.4 days) though the average numbers of disks shed from ROS at the various temperatures were not significantly different (23 degrees C-139.5 +/- 5.7, 28 degrees C-129.4 +/- 7.6, 33 degrees C-129.9 +/- 4.8 disks/shed packet). Phagosomes in the PE that were less than 2 microns in diameter (small phagosomes) were present in relatively constant numbers throughout the day, and their numbers increased at higher temperatures. The absence of a concomitant increase in small phagosomes as large phagosomes were degraded indicates that large phagosomes were not the major source of small phagosomes. When the PE was isolated to culture in the absence of the retina, these small phagosomes were degraded. The rate of disk addition to the ROS base was determined by autoradiography after [3H]leucine injection. The number of disks added per day increased with elevations of temperature (23 degrees C-32.4; 28 degrees C-55.9; 33 degrees C-65.5). The average number of disks added to the ROS between repeated sheddings (23 degrees C-181.4; 28 degrees C-167.7; 33 degrees C-157.2) was greater than the number of disks shed after light exposure. Inasmuch as the ROS show no net increase in length during the tadpole stages utilized, the remaining disks must be lost at some other time. Electron microscope analysis revealed the presence of small groups of disks in curled configurations at the tips of ROS, suggesting possible stages of detachment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

With the use of 31P n.m.r. spectroscopy, the separate pKa values of each of the six phosphoric monoester groups of myo-inositol hexaphosphate were determined. The range of hydrogen-ion concentrations covered extended from that required for the phosphonium salts to that for the full dodecyl anion, and the determinations were carried out in the presence of sodium and tetrabutylammonium cations. The pKa for each phosphate grouping in the transition from the free acid forms of each group to the monoanion form of each group was determined to be: 1.1, C-2; 1.5, C-1 and C-3; 2.1, C-4 and C-6; and 1.7, C-5. In the mono- to di-anion transition, the pKa values were: 6.85, C-2; 7.60, C-5; 5.70 and 12.0, C-1 and C-3; and 10.0, C-4 and C-6. These data and the appearance of the 31P hexaphosphate n.m.r. multiplet are discussed in terms of conformations of myo-inositol hexaphosphate. 相似文献

Using UDP-d-galactose : 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose 4-β-d-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22), several methyl β-lactosides have been prepared with 2H- and/or 13C-enrichment at specific sites to facilitate study by 13C (75 MHz) and 1H (600 MHz) n.m.r. spectroscopy. 13C-Chemical shift assignments were verified and the 1H-spectrum of β-lactoside was fully assigned. Sites of enrichment were selected to permit all of the potential three-bond C-C and C-H couplings through the glycosidic bond to be obtained. Replacement of H-3 of the d-glucose residue of methyl β-lactoside with 2H allowed resolution of C-1–H-4′ coupling in the 600-MHz 1H-spectrum. Single or multiple 13C-enrichment at C-1, C-2, C-3, C-1′, C-3′, and/or C-4′ in the disaccharide allowed observation of intra- and inter-residue couplings. 13C-Spin-lattice relaxation-times (T1) are interpreted in terms of molecular motion in solution. The data suggest that methyl β-lactoside has an extended conformation with little rotation about the glycosidic bond. Inter-residue couplings are best explained by tortion angles of φ ~ 40° and ψ ~ 15°, indicating that the conformations of β-lactoside in solution and in the crystal are similar. 相似文献

Three isotope-edited n.m.r. methods have been applied to selectively 13C-substituted monosaccharides and nucleosides to simplify their spectra and/or measure 1H-1H, 13C-1H, or 13H-13C spin-couplings detected via the labeled site. 1D INADEQUATE spectra allowed the selective detection of the natural-abundance carbons that are spin-coupled to the labeled carbon, and adjustment of the mixing time permitted further discrimination between one-bond and longer-range 13C-13C coupling pathways. Geminal and vicinal 13C-1H coupling constants were determined from the analysis of 1H-1H COSY cross-peaks for those protons coupled to the labeled carbon. Long-range 13C-(HETCOR) and 1H-detected (HMBC) 13C-1H chemical-shift correlation spectra permitted the selective observation of those protons coupled to the labeled site, and JH,H values were measured from data projections. The implications of these methods for structural studies of more complex systems is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The mechanism of 3-dehydroquinate synthase was explored by incubating partially purified enzyme with mixtures of [1-14C]3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonic acid 7-phosphate (DAHP) and one of the specifically tritiated substrates [4-3H]DAHP, [5-3H]DAHP, [6-3H]DAHP, (7RS)-[7-3H]DAHP, (7R)-[7-3H]DAHP, or (7S)-[7-3H]DAHP. Kinetic and secondary 3H isotope effects were calculated from 3H:14C ratios obtained in unreacted DAHP, 3-dehydroquinate, and 3-dehydroshikimate. 3H was not incorporated from the medium into 3-dehydroquinate, indicating that a carbanion (or methyl group) at C-7 is not formed. A kinetic isotope effect kH/k3H of 1.7 was observed at C-5, and afforded support for a mechanism involving oxidation of C-5 with NAD. A similar kinetic isotope effect was found at C-6 owing to removal of a proton in elimination of phosphate, which is reasonably assumed to be the next step in 3-dehydroquinate synthase. Hydrogen at C-7 of DAHP was not lost in the cyclization step of the reaction, indicating that the enol formed in phosphate elimination participated directly in an aldolase-type reaction with the carbonyl at C-2. In the dehydration of 3-dehydroquinate to 3-dehydroshikimate the (7R) proton from (7RS)- or (7R)-[7-3H]DAHP is lost, indicating that the 7R proton occupies the 2R position in dehydroquinate. Hence the cyclization step occurs with inversion of configuration at C-7. A kinetic isotope effect kH/k3H = 2.3 was observed in the conversion of (2R)-[2-3H]dehydroquinate to dehydroshikimate. Hence loss of a proton from the enzyme-dehydroquinate imine contributed to rate limitation in the reaction. 相似文献

The dipeptide His-Pro isomerizes from all-s-trans to partly s-cis when titrated in D2O from acidic to neutral pD as observed by 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance of the proline side chain. This isomerization is reported by the His C-2 and C-4 protons and carbons which show distinct, well-resolved resonances for each isomer. The influence of the His-Pro peptide bond rotational state on the histidine protons far removed from the bond has not been previously observed in model compounds or peptides. The peptides thyroliberin (TRH), [3-MeHis2]-TRH, and [3-MeHis6]-, [Sar1,Al8]-, and Nalpha-acetylangiotensin II were found to similarly isomerize from all-s-trans to partly s-cis as reported by their His C-2 and C-4 proton resonances. The His C-2 and C-4 protons in the peptides [1,3-diMeHis2]-TRH and [1-MeHis6]-, and [homoHis6]-angiotensin do not report this isomerization. Angiotensin II has previously been found to exhibit the same isomerization. The reporting of the s-trans to s-cis isomerization by the His C-2 proton appears to be correlated with the known potencies of the five angiotensin peptides in rat uterine strips and of the three TRH peptides by radioimmunoassay of released thyrotropin. 相似文献
