Betulonic acid amides with aliphatic and heterocyclic amines and with L-amino acids were synthesized by the acid chloride method. Betulonic acid amide and L-methionine derivatives of betulonic acid and its 3-oxime effectively inhibit the influenza A virus. Betulonic acid octadecylamide is active against the herpes simplex type 1 virus. The conjugate of betulonic acid 3-oxime with L-methionine is also active toward HIV-1. The tested compounds mainly show no activity toward the ECHO6 virus, which is devoid of a coat.

Summary A method has been developed to determine the age of fossil bone samples based on amino acid racemization (AAR). Approximately one hundred fossil bone samples of known age from Hungary were collected and analysed for D- and L-amino acids. As the racemization of amino acids is affected by temperature, pH, metal content of the soil, and time passed since death, these factors were eliminated by comparing the estimated age to age determined by the radiocarbon method. Determining the D- and L-amino acid contents in samples of known age, determining the half life of racemization and plotting the D/L ratio as a function of time, calibration curves were obtained. These curves can be used for the age estimation of samples after determining their D- and L-amino acid content. The D/L ratio for 2 to 3 amino acids was determined for each sample and the mean value of estimated ages based on calibration curves was considered to estimate age of the fossil samples. 相似文献

Fed-batch culture with controlled L-amino acid composition was performed to improve production of a recombinant gene product in Bacillus brevis. The maximum recombinant protein (alpha-amylase) level and specific activity increased from 5.14 kU/mL and 0.77 kU/mg dry cell in conventional fed-batch culture to 12.01 kU/mL and 2.64 kU/mg dry cell, respectively, when L-amino acid concentration was controlled at 5 mM using an asparagine (Asn)- and isoleucine (Ile)-enriched nitrogen source. The L-amino acid concentration in the culture was monitored by an automatic biotech analyzer and controlled at 2-20 mM using a mixture of polypeptone and yeast extract. Although L-amino acid concentrations were controlled at low levels, the alpha-amylase activity increased only 1.3 times compared to an uncontrolled batch culture; accumulation of ammonium ion was not reduced. When L-amino acid was controlled at the high level, more cell mass and less recombinant gene product were produced than in those with low control level. To overcome ammonium ion inhibition, the specific amino acids Asn and Ile were substituted to improve the production of gene product. Addition of these amino acids to a flask culture led to an improvement in the enzyme production level and specific activity to 2.9 and 5.1 times, respectively, as high as that without them. Both the control of amino acids at low concentrations and the enrichment of Asn and Ile were effective for the improvement of recombinant protein production from recombinant B. brevis cells.

An amidase acting on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide was purified from Pseudomonas azotoformans IAM 1603 and characterized. The enzyme acted S-stereoselectively on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide to yield (S)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid. N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of the enzyme were determined. The gene encoding the S-stereoselective piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide amidase was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of the strain and sequenced. Analysis of 2.1 kb of genomic DNA revealed the presence of two ORFs, one of which (laaA) encodes the amidase. This enzyme, LaaA is composed of 310 amino acid residues (molecular mass 34 514 Da), and the deduced amino acid sequence exhibits significant similarity to hypothetical and functionally characterized proline iminopeptidases from several bacteria. The laaA gene modified in the nucleotide sequence upstream from its start codon was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The activity of the recombinant LaaA enzyme in cell-free extracts of E. coli was 13.1 units.mg(-1) with l-prolinamide as substrate. This enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and two column chromatography steps. On gel-filtration chromatography, the enzyme appeared to be a monomer with a molecular mass of 32 kDa. It had maximal activity at 45 degrees C and pH 9.0, and was completely inactivated in the presence of phenylhydrazine, Zn2+, Ag+, Cd2+ or Hg2+. LaaA had hydrolyzing activity toward L-amino acid amides such as L-prolinamide, L-proline-p-nitroanilide, L-alaninamide and L-methioninamide, but did not act on the peptide substrates for the proline iminopeptidases despite their sequence similarity to LaaA. The enzyme also acted S-stereoselectively on (R,S)-piperidine-2-carboxamide, (R,S)-piperazine-2-carboxamide and (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide. Based on its specificity towards L-amino acid amides, the enzyme was named L-amino acid amidase. E. coli transformants overexpressing the laaA gene could be used for the S-stereoselective hydrolysis of (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide. 相似文献

Microbial lipases preferentially cleave the L-isomers of N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)-hydrophobic D,L-amino acid methyl esters which is the same as that of subtilisin. This implies that lipases and proteases may share the same ancestor in the evolutionary point and lipases can be practically applied to resolve racemic hydrophobic amino acid derivatives. 相似文献

Synthesis,antioxidative and antiviral activity of hydroxycinnamic acid amides of thiazole containing amino acid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The synthesis and the biological (antioxidant and antiviral) activities of novel hydroxycinnamic acid amides of a thiazole
containing TFA.valine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester are reported. The amides have been synthesized from p-coumaric, ferulic and sinapic acids with the corresponding TFA.valine-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester using the coupling
reagent N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP) as a catalyst. The antioxidant
properties of the newly synthesized amides have been studied for then antioxidative activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl
(DPPH)* test. The newly synthesized compounds have been tested against the replication in vitro of influenza virus A (H3N2)
and human herpes virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). 相似文献

Racemic amino acids were resolved by lipase via hydrolysis of their esters. Lipases (Pseudomonas lipase from Amano PS, Rhizopus lipase from Serva, and porcine pancrease lipase from Sigma) could selectively hydrolyze the L-amino acid esters in aqueous solution with high reactivities and selectivities. The effect of the structural changes in the ester moiety on the stereoselectivity of the lipases was also investigated using D ,L -homophenylalanine as a model. Procedures were developed for the resolution of natural and unnatural amino acids. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The study of the poultry needs in basic nutrients allowed the development of a scheme for obtaining feed polypeptides (“polypeptide cassettes”) enriched with L-amino acids, which are necessary for the metabolism of birds. The amino acid and nucleotide profiles of about 500 bioinformation sequences of thermostable plant proteins and archaea were studied, on the basis of which candidate sequences were selected. In silico, the amino acid and domain composition of the thermostable polypeptides has been optimized. A library of genetically engineered constructs encoding optimized polypeptides with the necessary composition of L-amino acids irreplaceable for poultry has been created. Primary E. coli producer strains were obtained, and the expression and thermostability of the target polypeptides were studied. 相似文献

A single gene codes for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase in both neuronal and non-neuronal tissues 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have sought to determine whether aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase which functions as a neurotransmitter biosynthetic enzyme in neuronal cells can be distinguished from an enzyme with similar activity found in peripheral tissues where no neurotransmitters are synthesized. Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from bovine adrenal medulla, and highly specific antibodies were produced. In addition, a DNA clone complementary to aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase mRNA was isolated by immunological screening of a lambda gt11 cDNA expression library. We have used these antibodies and cDNA probes for biochemical, immunochemical, and molecular analyses. A single form of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase is detected in rat and bovine tissue. Specifically, aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase protein is biochemically and immunochemically indistinguishable in brain, liver, kidney, and adrenal medulla. Hybridization to aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase cDNA identifies a single mRNA species of 2.3 kilobase pairs in rat tissue. Furthermore, Southern blot analysis reveals that a single gene codes for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. 相似文献

Summary A preparative-scale enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic methyl esters of several N-protected amino acid has been carried out by using crude porcine pancreatic lipase (Triacylglycerol lipase, EC 3.1.1.3) PPL as a hydrolytic enzyme. In all cases 50% of the racemic methyl ester was hydrolysed to the N-protected L-amino acid with high yield and high optical purity.Hydrolysis rates were very close related not only to the amino acid structure but also to the steric and/or electronic nature of the ester and N-protecting groups. Thus, the very convenient ester methyl group can be enantioselectively hydrolysed with PPL when N-protecting group is a carbonyl derivative, as it is the usual benzoyl group. 相似文献

Parietal cells are the primary acid secretory cells of the stomach. We have previously shown that activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) by divalent (Ca(2+)) or trivalent (Gd(3+)) ions stimulates acid production in the absence of secretagogues by increasing H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. When overexpressed in HEK-293 cells, the CaSR can be allosterically activated by L-amino acids in the presence of physiological concentrations of extracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(o)(2+); 1.5-2.5 mM). To determine whether the endogenously expressed parietal cell CaSR is allosterically activated by L-amino acids, we examined the effect of the amino acids L-phenylalanine (L-Phe), L-tryptophan, and L-leucine on acid secretion. In ex vivo whole stomach preparations, exposure to L-Phe resulted in gastric luminal pH significantly lower than controls. Studies using D-Phe (inactive isomer) failed to elicit a response on gastric pH. H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was monitored by measuring the intracellular pH (pH(i)) of individual parietal cells in isolated rat gastric glands and calculating the rate of H(+) extrusion. We demonstrated that increasing Ca(o)(2+) in the absence of secretagogues caused a dose-dependent increase in H(+) extrusion. These effects were amplified by the addition of amino acids at various Ca(o)(2+) concentrations. Blocking the histamine-2 receptor with cimetidine or inhibiting system L-amino acid transport with 2-amino-2-norbornane-carboxylic acid did not affect the rate of H(+) extrusion in the presence of L-Phe. These data support the conclusion that amino acids, in conjunction with a physiological Ca(o)(2+) concentration, can induce acid secretion independent of hormonal stimulation via allosteric activation of the stomach CaSR. 相似文献

The interaction of amino acid amides with tRNAPhe was studied by measurements of the Wye base fluorescence. Binding of phenylalanine-, tyrosine- and tryptophan-amides leads to considerable quenching, whereas the amides of e.g. glycine and leucine do not induce quenching under the same conditions. Binding constants at 0.13 M salt - 100 M-1 for Phe-, 110 M-1 for Tyr- and 300 M-1 for Trp-amide - are about a factor of 6 higher than those evaluated from independent measurements for binding to simple single-stranded polynucleotides; the corresponding factor is 10 for double-stranded polynucleotides. Since the apparent enthalpy changes derived from measurements at different temperatures remains relatively low (-9 to -20 kJ/mol), the increased affinity appears to be mainly due to an increase of the entropy changes. Titration experiments performed in the presence of Mg2+ indicate cooperative interactions of the aromatic residues with the anticodon loop that are consistent with preferential binding to one of two loop conformations. Measurements of binding constants at different pH-values indicate the protonation of a tRNA residue in the tryptophanamide-tRNAPhe complex characterised by a pK value of about 7.0. 相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide produced by two amino acid oxidases mediates antibacterial actions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The antibacterial actions of two amino acid oxidases, a D-amino acid oxidase from hog kidney and a L-amino acid oxidase from the venom of Agkistrodon halys, were investigated, demonstrating that both enzymes were able to inhibit the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and that hydrogen peroxide, a product of their enzymatic reactions, was the antibacterial factor. However, hydrogen peroxide generated in the enzymatic reactions was not sufficient to explain the degree to which bacterial growth was inhibited. A fluorescence labeling assay showed that both of these two enzymes could bind to the surfaces of bacteria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the antibacterial activity of the D-amino acid oxidases. 相似文献

Several commercially available enzymes were tested for their ability to hydrolyze amino acid carbamates. No activity was found with pig liver esterase, the hydantoinase from Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 84, or the urease from jack beans. A stereoselective cleavage of the carbamyl group yielding L-amino acids was observed by acylase and acetylcholinesterases from bovine and human erythrocytes. Racemic mixtures of N-(methoxycarbonyl)-DL-alanine, N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-DL-alanine, and the corresponding valine carbamates are hydrolyzed to L-alanine and L-valine, respectively, by acylases leaving the D-amino acid carbamates unchanged. The lysine carbamates were not hydrolyzed by acylases. In contrast only the methoxycarbonyl amino acids were split by acetylcholinesterases, which, however, also cleave alpha, epsilon-(N-methoxycarbonyl)-DL-lysine stereoselectively at the alpha position, yielding epsilon-N-methoxycarbonyl-L-lysine. The optimum pH for enzymatic activity of hog kidney acylase was 7.5 and a Km value of 8.2 mM for N-(methoxycarbonyl)-DL-alanine was determined. For the acetylcholinesterases the reaction rate reaches an optimum between pH 7.5 and 8. The Km value was 68 mM for N-(methoxycarbonyl)-DL-alanine. 相似文献

A gene encoding a new thermostable D-stereospecific alanine amidase from the thermophile Brevibacillus borstelensis BCS-1 was cloned and sequenced. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 199 kDa after gel filtration chromatography and about 30 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that the enzyme could be composed of a hexamer with identical subunits. The purified enzyme exhibited strong amidase activity towards D-amino acid-containing aromatic, aliphatic, and branched amino acid amides yet exhibited no enzyme activity towards L-amino acid amides, D-amino acid-containing peptides, and NH(2)-terminally protected amino acid amides. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were 85 degrees C and 9.0, respectively. The enzyme remained stable within a broad pH range from 7.0 to 10.0. The enzyme was inhibited by dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, and EDTA yet was strongly activated by Co(2+) and Mn(2+). The k(cat)/K(m) for D-alaninamide was measured as 544.4 +/- 5.5 mM(-1) min(-1) at 50 degrees C with 1 mM Co(2+). 相似文献

Summary Carboxypeptidase-Y-catalyzed peptide semisynthesis has been characterized at pH 7.5, 25°C from initial rate steady state kinetic and progress reaction studies of hydrolysis and aminolysis of-N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine 4-nitro-anilide using the natural L-amino acids and their amides as nucleophiles. The reaction mechanism previously shown to account for carboxypeptidase-Y-catalyzed aminolysis reactions (Christensen et al., 1992) was found also to account for all of the reactions studied here. It involves in addition to the classical serine proteinase mechanism: i) complex formation between the free enzyme and the nucleophile, an interaction characterized by the competitive inhibition constant,K
i, and ii) reaction of the nucleophile with the acylated enzyme forming a complex of enzyme and aminolysis product, characterized by the aminolysis kinetic parameter,K
N.A competitive inhibitory effect showing binding to the free enzyme is seen mainly with large hydrophobic amino acids and their amides i.e. the same residues as those preferred on either side of the scissile bond in carboxypeptidase-Y substrates. The stoichiometry of the inhibition is 1 : 1 and the actual binding position most likely is that of the leaving group of substrates,S
1.Aminolysis effects are obtained with a wide range of amino acids and amino acid amides, exceptions are Pro and, probably due to their low solubility, Tyr, Trp, Asp and Glu. TheK
N-values show relatively little dependence on the chemical nature of the side groups, but a marked difference between the amino acid and its amide. The amides interact more strongly. The kinetic parameter,k
c/Km, of the hydrolysis of the aminolysis products is another important factor in peptide semisynthesis. Thek
c/Km-values obtained of the amidated aminolysis products are much less than those of the products formed with free amino acids. All in all this leads to rather efficient aminolysis with the L-amino acid amides and poor aminolysis with the L-amino acids.Abbreviations BzTyrNHPhNO2

We cloned two cDNAs encoding proton/amino acid cotransporters, designated as mPAT1 and mPAT2, from murine tissues. They were identified by sequence similarity to the amino acid/auxin permease family member of lower eukaryotes. We functionally characterized both transporters by flux studies and electrophysiology after expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Both mPAT1 and mPAT2 induced a pH-dependent electrogenic transport activity for small amino acids (glycine, alanine, and proline) that is altered by membrane potential. Direct evidence for amino acid/H(+)-symport was shown by intracellular acidification, and a flux coupling stoichiometry for proline/H(+)-symport of 1:1 was determined for both transporters. Besides small apolar L-amino acids, the transporters also recognize their D-enantiomers and selected amino acid derivatives such as gamma-aminobutyric acid. The mPAT1 transporter, the murine orthologue of the recently cloned rat LYAAT-1 transporter, can be considered as a low affinity system when compared with mPAT2. The mRNA of mPAT1 is highly expressed in small intestine, colon, kidney, and brain; the mPAT2-mRNA is mainly found in heart and lung. Phenotypically, the PAT1 transporter possesses the same functional characteristics as the previously described proton-dependent amino acid transport process in apical membranes of intestinal and renal epithelial cells. 相似文献
