Four aryl-phospho--d-glucosidases were identified in Bacillus subtilis by using 4-methylumbelliferyl-phospho--d-glucopyranoside as a substrate. Two of these enzymes are the products of the bglA and bglH genes, previously suggested to encode aryl-phospho--d-glucosidases, while the other enzymes are encoded by the yckE and ydhP genes. Together, these four genes account for >99.9% of the glucosidase activity in B. subtilis on aryl-phospho--d-glucosides. yckE was expressed at a low and constant level during growth, sporulation, and spore germination, and was not induced by aryl--d-glucosides. ydhP was also not induced by aryl--d-glucosides. However, while ydhP was expressed at only a very low level in exponential-phase cells and germinating spores, this gene was expressed at a higher levels upon entry into the stationary phase of growth. Strains lacking yckE or ydhP exhibited no defects in growth, sporulation, or spore germination or in growth on aryl--d-glucosides. However, a strain lacking bglA, bglH and yckE grew poorly if at all on aryl--d-glucosides as the sole carbon source.Abbreviations

Preparative-scale fermentation of ginsenoside Rb1 (1) with Acremonium strictum AS 3.2058 gave three new compounds, 12β-hydroxydammar-3-one-20 (S)-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), 12β, 25-dihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22)-ene-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (8), and 12β, 20 (R), 25-trihydroxydammar-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranoside (9), along with five known compounds, ginsenoside Rd (2), gypenoside XVII (3), ginsenoside Rg3 (4), ginsenoside F2 (5), and compound K (6). The structural elucidation of these metabolites was based primarily on one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance
and high-resolution electron spray ionization mass spectra analyses. Among these compounds, 2–6 are also the metabolites of ginsenoside Rb1 in mammals. This result demonstrated that microbial culture parallels mammalian metabolism; therefore, A. strictum might be a useful tool for generating mammalian metabolites of related analogs of ginsenosides for complete structural identification
and for further use in pharmaceutical research in this series of compounds. In addition, the biotransformation kinetics was
also investigated. 相似文献

The cellobiose 2-epimerase from Ruminococcus albus (RaCE) catalyzes the epimerization of cellobiose and lactose to 4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannose and 4-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-mannose (epilactose). Based on the sequence alignment with N-acetyl-d-glucosamine 2-epimerases of known structure and on a homology-modeled structure of RaCE, we performed site-directed mutagenesis
of possible catalytic residues in the enzyme, and the mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli cells. We found that R52, H243, E246, W249, W304, E308, and H374 were absolutely required for the activity of RaCE. F114
and W303 also contributed to catalysis. These residues protruded into the active-site cleft in the model (α/α)6 core barrel structure. 相似文献

A bacterium (strain HC1) capable of assimilating rice bran hemicellulose was isolated from a soil and identified as belonging
to the genus Paenibacillus through taxonomical and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Strain HC1 cells grown on rice bran hemicellulose as a sole carbon source
inducibly produced extracellular xylanase and intracellular glycosidases such as β-d-glucosidase and β-d-arabinosidase. One of them, β-d-glucosidase was further analyzed. A genomic DNA library of the bacterium was constructed in Escherichia coli and gene coding for β-d-glucosidase was cloned by screening for β-d-glucoside-degrading phenotype in E. coli cells. Nucleotide sequence determination indicated that the gene for the enzyme contained an open reading frame consisting
of 1,347 bp coding for a polypeptide with a molecular mass of 51.4 kDa. The polypeptide exhibits significant homology with
other bacterial β-d-glucosidases and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 1. β-d-Glucosidase purified from E. coli cells was a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 50 kDa most active at around pH 7.0 and 37°C. Strain HC1 glycosidases
responsible for degradation of rice bran hemicellulose are expected to be useful for structurally determining and molecularly
modifying rice bran hemicellulose and its derivatives. 相似文献

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

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted by hot phenol-water from five strains each of Azospirillum lipoferum and Azospirillum brasilense. Rhamnose, glucose, glucosamine and 3-deoxy-d-mannooctulosonic acid were comon sugar constituents of all LPS preparations. 2-O-Mefucose, 3-O-Me-fucose, 3-O-Me-rhamnose and 2-O-Megalactose were found in LPSs of some A. brasilense strains. Fatty acid spectra from all LPSs studied were almost identical with predominance of 3-hydroxymyristic and 3-hydroxypalmitic acids. 3-Hydroxypalmitic acid was the only amide-linked fatty acid. Lipopolysaccharides isolated from A. brasilense showed higher heterogeneity in sugar composition than those from A. lipoferum.Abbreviations glc

Fractions were prepared from the water-soluble components ofAspergillus fumigatus mycelium either by lectin-affinity chromatography or salt precipitation. While they varied considerably in their amino-acid composition, each contained a preponderance of aspartic and glutamic acids.13C-NMR spectroscopy of these fractions, compared with that of polysaccharide obtained by alkaline extraction, indicated the presence of glycoproteins, the polysaccharide components of which contained -d-Galf units that are part of structures chemically different from those obtained by alkali treatment. In two of the three fractions examined, gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry showed marked differences in the contents of non-reducing end-units of -d-Manp and -d-Galf. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the preparations revealed an array of components, which stained to differing extents with silver stain and with Coomassie Blue and many of which were bound by lectins with specificity for different sugars. 相似文献

Enzymatic 5′-monophosphorylation and 5′-phosphatidylation of a number of β-l- and β-d-nucleosides was investigated. The first reaction, catalyzed by nucleoside phosphotransferase (NPT) from Erwinia herbicola, consisted of the transfer of the phosphate residue from p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) to the 5′-hydroxyl group of nucleoside; the second was the phospholipase d (PLD)-catalyzed transphosphatidylation of l-α-lecithin with a series of β-l- and β-d-nucleosides as the phosphatidyl acceptor resulted in the formation of the respective phospholipid-nucleoside conjugates.
Some β-l-nucleosides displayed similar or even higher substrate activity compared to the β-d-enantiomers. 相似文献

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

When α-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2
-p and β-d-(6-sulfo)-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (2) were used as substrates, β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Aspergillus oryzae transferred the β-d-(6-sulfo)-GlcNAc(unit from 2 to α-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2
-p to afford β-d-(6-sulfo)-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (3) in a yield of 94% based on the amount of donor, 2, added. β-d-(6-sulfo)-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-d-Glc-OC6H4NO2-p (4) was obtained with α-d-Glc-OC6H4NO2
-p as acceptor in a similar manner. With a reaction mixture of 2 and β-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (1) in a molar ratio of 6:1, the enzyme mediated the transfer of β-d-GlcNAc from 1 to 2, affording disaccharide β-d-GlcNAc-(1→4)-β-(6-sulfo)-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (5) in a yield of 13% based on the amount of 1 added. 相似文献

TheSaccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxin K1 is a secreted α/β-heterodimeric protein toxin that kills sensitive yeast cells in a receptor-mediated two-stage
process. The first step involves toxin binding to β-1,6-d-glucan-components of the outer yeast cell surface; this step is blocked in yeast mutants bearing nuclear mutations in any
of theKRE genes whose products are involved in synthesis and/or assembly of cell wall β-d-glucans. After binding to the yeast cell wall, the killer toxin is transferred to the cytoplasmic membrane, subsequently
leading to cell death by forming lethal ion channels. In an attempt to identify a secondary K1 toxin receptor at the plasma
membrane level, we mutagenized sensitive yeast strains and isolated killer-resistant (kre) mutants that were resistant as spheroplasts. Classical yeast genetics and successive back-crossings to sensitive wild-type
strain indicated that this toxin resistance is due to mutation(s) in a single chromosomal yeast gene (KRE12), renderingkrel2 mutants incapable of binding significant amounts of toxin to the membrane. Sincekrel2 mutants showed normal toxin binding to the cell wall, but markedly reduced membrane binding, we isolated and purified cytoplasmic
membranes from akrel2 mutant and from an isogenicKre12+ strain and analyzed the membrane protein patterns by 2D-electrophoresis using a combination of isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE.
Using this technique, three different proteins (or subunits of a single multimeric protein) were identified that were present
in much lower amounts in thekre12 mutant. A model for K1 killer toxin action is presented in which the gene product ofKRE12 functions in vivo as a K1 docking protein, facilitating toxin binding to the membrane and subsequent ion channel formation. 相似文献

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 recombinant putative β-galactosidase from Thermoplasma acidophilum was purified as a single 57 kDa band of 82 U mg−1. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 114 kDa as a dimer. Maximum activity was observed at pH 6.0 and 90°C. The enzyme
was unstable below pH 6.0: at pH 6 its half-life at 75°C was 28 days but at pH 4.5 was only 13 h. Catalytic efficiencies decreased
as p-nitrophenyl(pNP)-β-d-fucopyranoside (1067) > pNP-β-d-glucopyranoside (381) > pNP-β-d-galactopyranoside (18) > pNP-β-d-mannopyranoside (11 s−1 mM−1), indicating that the enzyme was a β-glycosidase. 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

The genes encoding the catalytic domains (CD) of the three endoglucanases (EG I; Cel7B, EG II; Cel5A, and EG III; Cel12A)
from Trichoderma reesei QM9414 were expressed in Escherichia coli strains Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLacI or Origami B (DE3) pLacI and were found to produce functional intracellular proteins.
Protein production by the three endoglucanase transformants was evaluated as a function of growth temperature. Maximal productivity
of EG I-CD at 15°C, EG II-CD at 20°C and EG III at 37°C resulted in yields of 6.9, 72, and 50 mg/l, respectively. The endoglucanases
were purified using a simple purification method based on removing E. coli proteins by isoelectric point precipitation. Specific activity toward carboxymethyl cellulose was found to be 65, 49, and
15 U/mg for EG I-CD, EG II-CD, and EG III, respectively. EG II-CD was able to cleave 1,3–1,4-β-d-glucan and soluble cellulose derivatives. EG III was found to be active against cellulose, 1,3–1,4-β-d-glucan and xyloglucan, while EG I-CD was active against cellulose, 1,3–1,4-β-d-glucan, xyloglucan, xylan, and mannan. 相似文献

Carbohydrate binding properties of the envelope glycoproteins of human immunodeficiency virus type 1
Here, we confirm and extend our previous findings on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteinN-acetylglucosaminyl binding properties. We show the occurrence of saturable, temperature, pH, and calcium dependent carbohydrate-specific interactions between recombinant precursor gp160 (rgp160) and two affinity matrices:d-mannose-divinylsulfone-agarose, and natural glycoprotein, fetuin, also coupled to agarose. Binding of rgp160 to the matrices was inhibited by soluble mannosyl derivatives, -d-Man17-BSA and mannan, by -d-GlcNAc47-BSA and by glycopeptides from Pronase-treated porcine thyroglobulin, which produces oligomannose and complex N-linked glycans. Glycopeptides from Endoglycosidase H-treated thyroglobulin partially inhibited rgp160 binding, as did the asialo-agalacto-tetraantennary precursor oligosaccharide of human 1-acid glycoprotein for binding to fetuin-agarose. -d-Glucan and -d-Gal17-BSA had no or only limited effect. Also, surface unit rgp120 specifically interacted with fetuin-agarose and soluble fetuin, but in the latter case with a twofold reduced affinity relative to rgp160. After affinity chromatography, rgp160 was specifically retained by the two matrices and eluted by mannan in both cases, while rgp120 was not retained by fetuin-agarose but only eluted as a significantly retarded peak, which confirms its specific but weak interaction. Thus, rgp160 interacts with both oligomannose type, and the mannosyl core of complex type N-linked glycans, and its gp120 region plays a role in this interaction. Because fetuin and asialofetuin inhibit to nearly the same extent, the binding of rgp160 or rgp120 to fetuin-agarose, interaction with sialic acid or -d-galactosyl structures of complex N- or O-linked glycans can be ruled out. Specific rgp160 and rgp120 binding to ap-aminophenyl--d-GlcNAc-agarose matrix, which was inhibited by -d-GlcNAc47-BSA and by fetuin, confirms that HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins can also specifically interact with theN-acetylglucosaminyl core of oligosaccharide structures. 相似文献

The electrochemical detection of Escherichia coli β-d-glucuronidase activity as a means of monitoring water pollution by faecal material was investigated using separate Moraxella- and Pseudomonas putida-modified glassy carbon electrodes. The former was more sensitive and selective. The Moraxella-modified biosensor was 100 times more rapid and sensitive than the spectrophotometric detection of β-d-glucuronidase activity. The experimental limit of detection of the biosensor was two c.f.u. per 100 ml polluted water sample
within 20 min. The biosensor gave a linear response to commercial β-d-glucuronidase concentration between 0.2 ng and 2 μg ml−1. The biosensor detected activity of β-d-glucuronidase from viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells and can therefore serve as a presence or absence device for rapid
water quality monitoring. 相似文献

A β-d-glucan obtained from Aureobasidium pullulans (AP-FBG) exhibits various biological activities: it exhibits antitumour and antiosteoporotic effects and prevents food allergies.
An unambiguous structural characterisation of AP-FBG is still awaited. The biological effects of β-d-glucan are known to depend on its primary structures, conformation, and molecular weight. Here, we elucidate the primary
structure of AP-FBG by NMR spectroscopy, and evaluate its biological activities. Its structure was shown to comprise a mixture
of a 1-3-β-d-glucan backbone with single 1-6-β-d-glucopyranosyl side-branching units every two residues (major structure) and a 1-3-β-d-glucan backbone with single 1-6-β-d-glucopyranosyl side-branching units every three residues (minor structure). Furthermore, this β-d-glucan exhibited immunostimulatory effects such as the accumulation of immune cells and priming effects against enterobacterium.
To our knowledge, 1-3-β-glucans like AP-FBG with such a high number of 1-6-β-glucopyranosyl side branching have a unique structure;
nevertheless, many 1-3-β-glucans were isolated from various sources, e.g. fungi, bacteria, and plants. 相似文献
