Formyl phosphate, a putative enzyme-bound intermediate in the reaction catalyzed by formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (EC 6.3.4.3), was synthesized from formyl fluoride and inorganic phosphate [Jaenicke, L. v., & Koch, J. (1963) Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 663, 50-58], and the product was characterized by 31P, 1H, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Measurement of hydrolysis rates by 31P NMR indicates that formyl phosphate is particularly labile, with a half-life of 48 min in a buffered neutral solution at 20 degrees C. At pH 7, hydrolysis occurs with P-O bond cleavage, as demonstrated by 18O incorporation from H2(18)O into Pi, while at pH 1 and pH 13 hydrolysis occurs with C-O bond cleavage. The substrate activity of formyl phosphate was tested in the reaction catalyzed by formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase isolated from Clostridium cylindrosporum. Formyl phosphate supports the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions. Thus, N10-formyltetrahydrofolate is produced from tetrahydrofolate and formyl phosphate in a reaction mixture that contains enzyme, Mg(II), and ADP, and ATP is produced from formyl phosphate and ADP with enzyme, Mg(II), and tetrahydrofolate present. The requirements for ADP and for tetrahydrofolate as cofactors in these reactions are consistent with previous steady-state kinetic and isotope exchange studies, which demonstrated that all substrate subsites must be occupied prior to catalysis. The k cat values for both the forward and reverse directions, with formyl phosphate as the substrate, are much lower than those for the normal forward and reverse reactions. Kinetic analysis of the formyl phosphate supported reactions indicates that the low steady-state rates observed for the synthetic intermediate are most likely due to the sequential nature of the normal reaction.  相似文献

The transfer of 17O and/or 18O from (COOH-17O or -18O) enriched substrates to inorganic phosphate (Pi) has been demonstrated for two enzyme-catalyzed reactions involved in folate biosynthesis and glutamylation. COOH-18O-labeled folate, methotrexate, and dihydropteroate, in addition to [17O]-glutamate, were synthesized and used as substrates for folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) isolated from Escherichia coli, hog liver, and rat liver and for dihydrofolate synthetase (DHFS) isolated from E. coli. Pi was purified from the reaction mixtures and converted to trimethyl phosphate (TMP), which was then analyzed for 17O and 18O enrichment by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and/or mass spectroscopy. In the reactions catalyzed by the E. coli enzymes, both NMR and quantitative mass spectral analyses established that transfer of the oxygen isotope from the substrate 18O-enriched carboxyl group to Pi occurred, thereby providing strong evidence for an acyl phosphate intermediate in both the FPGS- and DHFS-catalyzed reactions. Similar oxygen-transfer experiments were carried out by use of two mammalian enzymes. The small amounts of Pi obtained from reactions catalyzed by these less abundant FPGS proteins precluded the use of NMR techniques. However, mass spectral analysis of the TMP derived from the mammalian FPGS-catalyzed reactions showed clearly that 18O transfer had occurred.  相似文献

The decomposition of 1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) (5,6-THN)AD(P) under neutral and acidic conditions is catalyzed by general acid. Adenosine 5′-diphosphoribose (ADPR) has been isolated in high yield by high-performance liquid chromatography from decomposition of (5,6-THN)AD in phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. The limitation of conditions under which (5,6-THN)AD(P) should be used as an analog of NAD(P)H are emphasized.  相似文献

(31)P NMR spectroscopy offers a possibility to obtain a survey of all low-molecular-weight phosphorylated compounds in yeast. The yeast cells have been extracted using chloroform into a neutral aqueous phase. The use of high fields and the neutral pH extracts, which are suitable for NMR analysis, results in well-resolved (31)P NMR spectra. Two-dimensional NMR experiments, such as proton-detected heteronuclear single quantum ((1)H-(31)P HSQC) and (31)P correlation spectroscopy ((31)P COSY), have been used to assign the resonances. In the phosphomonoester region many of the signals could be assigned to known metabolites in the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways, although some signals remain unidentified. Accumulation of ribulose 5-phosphate, xylulose 5-phosphate, and ribose 5-phosphate was observed in a strain lacking transketolase activity when grown in synthetic complete medium. No such accumulation occurred when the cells were grown in yeast-peptone-dextrose medium. Trimetaphosphate (intracellular concentration about 0.2 mM) was detected in both cold methanol-chloroform and perchloric acid extracts.  相似文献

Carbamyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli has been shown to use only the A isomer of adenosine-5'-[2-thiotriphosphate] in both the ATPase reaction (MgATP HCO3- leads to MgADP + Pi) and the carbamyl phosphate synthesis reaction (2MgATP + HCO3- + L-glutamine leads to 2MgADP + Pi + carbamyl-P + L-glutamate). The B isomer was less than 5% as reactive. In the reverse reaction, only the A isomer of adenosine-5'-[2-thiotriphosphate] is synthesized from adenosine-5'-[2-thiodiphosphate] and carbamyl-P as determined by 31P NMR and a coupled enzymatic assay with Cd2+- hexokinase. It is therefore proposed that carbamyl phosphate synthetase uses the same diastereomer of MgATP at both ATP sites.  相似文献

31P NMR chemical shifts of phosphate covalently bound to proteins   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for characterizing the nature of covalently bound phosphate in proteins is relatively unexploited by the biochemist. 31P NMR chemical shifts of phosphate covalently bound to naturally occurring phosphoproteins, phosphorylated enzyme intermediates and chemically phosphorylated proteins have been compiled in this review. The chemical shifts (31P NMR) of selected reference compounds are reported to assist in the assignment of 31P resonances of phosphate covalently attached to proteins. 31P NMR chemical shifts of phosphate and phospho compounds non-covalently bound to selected proteins as well as the pH dependence of 31P NMR resonance have also been compiled.  相似文献

The ELR-CXC chemokines are important to neutrophil inflammation in many acute and chronic diseases. Among them, CXCL8 (interleukin-8, IL-8), binds to both the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors with high affinity and the expression levels of CXCL8 are elevated in many inflammatory diseases. Recently, an analogue of human CXCL8, CXCL8((3-72))K11R/G31P (hG31P) has been developed. It has been demonstrated that hG31P is a high affinity antagonist for both CXCR1 and CXCR2. To obtain large quantities of hG31P, we have successfully constructed and expressed hG31P in Escherichia coli. Moreover, we have developed a new protocol for high-yield purification of hG31P and for the removal of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) associated with hG31P due to the expression in E. coli. The purity of hG31P is more than 95% and the final yield is 9.7mg hG31P per gram of cell paste. The purified hG31P was tested by various biological assays. In addition, the structural properties of hG31P were studied by circular dichroism (CD), ultracentrifuge, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Our results indicate that this purification protocol is very simple and easy to amplify at a large scale. The results of this study will provide an effective route to produce enough hG31P for future clinical studies.  相似文献

It has been demonstrated with the use of 31P NMR pulsed spectroscopy that the reaction of mesitoyl chloride (MsCOCl) both with terminal and internucleotide phosphate groups pA, d(MeOTr)TpT and dpTpT (Ac) proceeds in a quantitative fashion within less than 2 min at 0 degrees C with the respective mixed anhydrides being thereby formed. The anhydrides of phosphomonoesters are resistant, unlike those of phosphodiesters which may be readily split by water, alcohol or amine without the internucleotide bonds being broken. Treatment of poly(U) with an excess of MsCOCl leads to rapid cyclization followed by formation of phosphotriesters. A comparatively easy hydrolysis leads to partial cleavage and isomerization of internucleotide bonds. A similar treatment of UpC showed that about 20% of the internucleotide bonds are cleaved, the remaining UpC being a mixture of approximately equal amounts of 3'-5'- and 2'-5'-isomers.  相似文献

The 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the adenine nucleotide thio analogues, AMPS, ADPalphaS, ADPbetaS, ATPalphaS, ATPbetaS, and ATPgammaS, have been studied. Of primary interest were the increased sensitivity of chemical shifts to protonation and to magnesium binding of these analogues compared with the corresponding effects on AMP, ADP, and ATP. The usefulness of the characteristic NMR parameters of the thio analogues as probes in enzymatic reactions is discussed. The A2 diastereoisomers of ADPalphaS and ATPalphaS and the A and B isomers of ATPbetaS were enzymatically synthesized and the diasterioisomers of ADPalphaS and ATPbetaS were distinguished by their 31P NMR parameters. The stereospecificity of the enzymatic reactions involving the thio analogues of nucleotides can therefore be determined by 31P NMR. The difficulty involved in assigning phosphate ligands of Mg in MgADP and MgATP and their analogues on the basis of the magnitude of chemical shift changes (deltadelta) induced by Mg binding upon each 31P is discussed in the context of the anomalies in deltadelta of each 31P observed upon protonation of the terminal phosphate group. It is concluded that chemical shift data cannot yield unequivocal information concerning the absolute structure of metal complexes of nucleotides but can be used to monitor changes in metal chelation, for example, upon binding to enzyme.  相似文献

Zinc/acetylacetone/pyridine treatment has been designed as a very efficient method for removal of 2,2,2,-trichloroethyl group from phosphoesters. Internucleotide and terminal 2,2,2-trichloroethylphosphotriesters were transformed to corresponding diesters quantitatively. Much less reactive 2,2,2-trichloroethylphosphodiesters produced monoesters with ca. 90% yield. 31P NMR spectroscopy has been proposed as a new tool for analysis of removal of internucleotide phosphate protecting groups-a crucial step in oligonucleotides synthesis via phosphotriester approach.  相似文献

The effect of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (50 Hz, 0.5 mT) - ELF-MF, on phosphate metabolism has been studied in the isolated ganglions of the garden snail Helix pomatia, after 7 and 16 days of snail exposure to ELF-MF. The influence of ELF-MF on the level of phosphate compounds and intracellular pH was monitored by 31P NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the activity of enzymes involved in phosphate turnover, total ATPases, Na+/K+-ATPase and acid phosphatase has been measured. The exposure of snails to the ELF-MF for the period of 7 days shifted intracellular pH toward more alkaline conditions, and increased the activity of investigated enzymes. Prolonged exposure to the ELF-MF for the period of 16 days caused a decrease of PCr and ATP levels and decreased enzyme activity, compared to the 7-day treatment group. Our results can be explained in terms of: 1. increase in phosphate turnover by exposure to the ELF-MF for the period of 7 days, and 2. adaptation of phosphate metabolism in the nervous system of snails to prolonged ELF-MF exposure.  相似文献

Phosphorus-31 NMR spectra have been obtained from a variety of synthetic, solid calcium phosphate mineral phases by magic angle sample spinning. The samples include crystalline hydroxyapatite, two type B carbonatoapatites containing 3.2 and 14.5% CO3(2-), respectively, a hydroxyapatite in which approximately 12% of the phosphate groups are present as HPO4(2-), an amorphous calcium phosphate, monetite, brushite, and octacalcium phosphate. Spectra were observed by the standard Bloch decay and cross-polarization techniques, as well as by a dipolar suppression sequence, in order to distinguish between protonated and unprotonated phosphate moieties. The spectra of the synthetic calcium phosphates provide basic information that is essential for interpreting similar spectra obtained from bone and other calcified tissues.  相似文献

An investigation of the self-association behavior of 2'-deoxy[5'-phosphate-guanylyl-(3'-5')-guanosine] (d(pGpG)) in the presence of Na+ and K+ ions has been carried out by 1H and 31P NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. A comparison has been made of the self- association behavior of d(pGpG) with that of the related dinucleotide d(GpG), which has been shown to form extended structures based on stacked G-tetrads. Chemically, d(pGpG) monomer differs from d(GpG) only by the addition of a phosphate at the 5'-OH of the sugar residue. It was found that the addition of the second phosphate interferes with self-association. A suitable counterion is all that is required by d(GpG) to induce the formation of large super structures, but for d(pGpG) a large excess of salt is needed to produce the same effect. However, once self-association occurs, d(pGpG) forms similar structures to d(GpG) and has nearly the same properties. For both compounds, the K+ ion induces a more stable structure than the Na+ ion. The 31P NMR chemical shift ranges of d(pGpG) were consistent with the reported data for a phosphodiester and terminal phosphate. The small change in the chemical shift of the terminal phosphate with increasing temperature suggests that no major change in the terminal phosphate conformation occurred upon self-association. It was concluded that the terminal phosphate did not result in steric hindrance to self-association, but that interference to self-association was due to electrostatic repulsion effects.  相似文献

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used in the study of rat livers following flushing with a clinically used preservation solution containing either 12 or 30% (v/v) Me2SO. The extent of equilibration of Me2SO in the tissue after 10-15 min of perfusion with Me2SO and again after subsequent washout with Me2SO-free medium was assessed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to follow the changes in ATP, ADP, inorganic phosphate, and tissue pH. The data show that 1H NMR spectroscopy can be used as a sensitive and rapid method of assessing the equilibration and concentration of compounds such as Me2SO, since these compounds are likely to be present at concentrations greatly in excess of other constituents of the medium and will therefore give rise to strong, easily detected signals. At the same time, 31P NMR spectroscopy can be used to monitor the metabolic status of the tissue reflected in the levels of ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate, as well as being a noninvasive monitor of intracellular pH. The possibility of determining the tissue pH in the presence of solutes such as Me2SO is discussed.  相似文献

It is now possible to unambiguously assign all 31P resonances in the 31P NMR spectra of oligonucleotides by either two-dimensional NMR techniques or site-specific 17O labeling of the phosphoryl groups. Assignment of 31P signals in tetradecamer duplexes, (dTGTGAGCGCTCACA)2, (dTAT-GAGCGCTCATA)2, (dTCTGAGCGCTCAGA)2, and (dTGTGTGCGCACACA)2, and the dodecamer duplex d(CGTGAATTCGCG)2 containing one base-pair mismatch, combined with additional assignments in the literature, has allowed an analysis of the origin of the sequence-specific variation in 31P chemical shifts of DNA. The 31P chemical shifts of duplex B-DNA phosphates correlate reasonably well with some aspects of the Dickerson/Calladine sum function for variation in the helical twist of the oligonucleotides. Correlations between experimentally measured P-O and C-O torsional angles and results from molecular mechanics energy minimization calculations show that these results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequence-specific variations in 31P chemical shifts are attributable to sequence-specific changes in the deoxyribose phosphate backbone. The major structural variation responsible for these 31P shift perturbations appears to be P-O and C-O backbone torsional angles which respond to changes in the local helical structure. Furthermore, 31P chemical shifts and JH3'-P coupling constants both indicate that these backbone torsional angle variations are more permissive at the ends of the double helix than in the middle. Thus 31P NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics energy minimization calculations appear to be able to support sequence-specific structural variations along the backbone of the DNA in solution.  相似文献

The structure of component B of the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was recently assigned as 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (HS-HTP) (Noll, K. M., Rinehart, K. L., Jr., Tanner, R.S., and Wolfe, R.S. (1986) (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 4238-4242). We report here the chemical synthesis and biochemical activity of this compound. Thiourea and 7-bromoheptanoic acid were used to to synthesize 7,7'-dithiodiheptanoic acid. This disulfide was then condensed with DL-threonine phosphate using N-hydroxysuccinimide and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The product was reduced with dithiothreitol to give HS-HTP. It could be oxidized in air in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol to give the compound as it was isolated from cell extracts. The resulting product was identical to the authentic compound by 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and coelution using high performance liquid chromatography. The synthetic compound is active in the in vitro methanogenic assay at concentrations comparable to the authentic compound. This confirms the structure of component B as HS-HTP and provides a means to synthesize quantities sufficient for studies of the methylreductase system.  相似文献

Inositol phosphates are recognized as having diverse and critical roles in biological systems. In this report, kinetic studies and TLC analysis indicate that beta-propeller phytase is a special class of inositol phosphatase that preferentially recognizes a bidentate (P-Ca(2+)-P) formed between Ca(2+) and two adjacent phosphate groups of its natural substrate phytate (InsP(6)). The specific recognition of a bidentate chelation enables the enzyme to sequentially hydrolyze one of the phosphate groups in a bidentate of Ca(2+)-InsP(6) to yield a myo-inositol trisphosphate (InsP(3)) and three phosphates as the final products. A comparative analysis of (1)H- and (13)C NMR spectroscopy with the aid of 2D NMR confirms that the chemical structure of the final product is myo-Ins(2,4,6)P(3). The catalytic properties of the enzyme suggest a potential model for how the enzyme specifically recognizes its substrate Ca(2+)-InsP(6) and produces myo-Ins(2,4,6)P(3) from Ca(2+)-InsP(6). These findings potentially provide evidence for a selective Ca(2+)-InsPs chelation between Ca(2+) and two adjacent phosphate groups of inositol phosphates.  相似文献

In this review it is demonstrated that (31)P NMR spectroscopy can be used to elucidate information about the microenvironment around the phosphate group of enzyme-bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The following information can be obtained for all PLP-dependent enzymes: 1) the protonation state of the 5'-phosphate and its exposure to solvent, and 2) tightness of binding of the 5'-phosphate. In addition, the 5-phosphate can report on the protonation state of the Schiff base lysine in some enzymes. Changes in the 5'-phosphate chemical shift can be used to determine changes in tightness of binding of the phosphate as the reaction pathway is traversed, providing information on the dynamics of the enzyme. (31)P NMR spectroscopy is thus an important probe of structure, dynamics and mechanism in native and site-directed mutations of PLP-dependent enzymes. Examples of all of the above are provided in this review. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Pyridoxal Phospate Enzymology.  相似文献

The mixed anhydride of oxalic and phosphoric acids, oxalyl phosphate, has been prepared by reaction of oxalyl chloride and inorganic phosphate in aqueous solution. The product was purified by anion exchange chromatography and characterized by 31P and 13C NMR. This acyl phosphate has a half-life of 51 h at pH 5.0 and 4 degrees C. Oxalyl phosphate, an analogue of phosphoenolpyruvate, is a slow substrate for pyruvate kinase, undergoing an enzyme-dependent phosphotransfer reaction to produce ATP from ADP. Oxalyl phosphate substitutes for phosphoenolpyruvate in the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate, phosphate dikinase. The acyl phosphate reacts with the free enzyme to give the phosphorylated form of the enzyme. Removal of the potent product inhibitor, oxalate, from the reaction mixtures by gel filtration chromatography permitted further reaction of the phosphorylated enzyme with pyrophosphate and AMP to give ATP and Pi in a single turnover assay. Oxalyl phosphate also served as a phospho group donor in a partial reaction catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase wherein GDP is phosphorylated at the expense of oxalyl phosphate.  相似文献

It is found that carbamyl phosphate is an efficient condensing agent for acetate and hydroxylamine in the presence of Be2+ and Al3+. The reaction has an optimum at pH 4 and is completed within 30 min. The yield of hydroxamate formation reaches 30% (based on initial carbamyl phosphate). Acetylphosphate as the intermediary product of this reaction was identified by P-NMR spectroscopy.  相似文献
