Transmannosylation from mannotriose (Man1-4Man1-4Man) to the 4-position at the nonreducing end N-acetylglucosaminyl residue ofN,N-diacetylchitobiose was regioselectively induced through the use of -d-mannanase fromAspergillus niger. The enzyme formed the trisaccharide Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc (3.7% of the enzyme-catalysed net decrease ofN,N-diacetylchitobiose) from mannotriose as a donor andN,N-diacetylchitobiose as an acceptor. Mannobiose (Man1-4Man) was also shown to be useful as a donor substrate for the desired trisaccharide synthesis.Abbreviations Man d-mannose - (M n) (n=1–5) -linkedn-mer of mannose - GlcNAc2 2-acetamido-2-deoxy--d-glucopyranosyl-(1–4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose  相似文献

The localizations of six glycosidases produced byBacteroides fragilis—-glucosidase, -glucosidase, -galactosidase, -galactosidase, -N-acetylglucosaminidase, and -l-fucosidase—were studied. Cell fractions and cell extracts were obtained by Triton X-100 release, by disruption by freeze-pressing and sonication, and by osmotic release. Isoelectric focusing of a cytoplasmic and of a Triton X-100 extract of the cell wall fraction was performed and revealed differences in the relative distribution of differently charged forms of -N-acetylglucosaminidase. -Galactosidase and alkaline phosphatase were used as cytoplasmic and periplasmic markers, respectively. It is concluded that inB. fragilis -glucosidase is periplasmic, -l-fucosidase and -galactosidase are cytoplasmic, and -n-acetylglucosaminidase is cell associated and bound to the cell envelope by hydrophobic interactions. -Glucosidase and -galactosidase are localized cytoplasmically and/or located in the cell envelope.  相似文献

A -carotene oxygenase is described which occurs in the Cyanobacterium Microcystis. It cleaves -carotene and zeaxanthin specifically at the positions 7,8 and 7,8, while echinenone and myxoxanthophyll are not affected. The oxidative cleavage of -carotene leads to the formation of -cyclocitral and crocetindial and that of zeaxanthin to hydroxy--cyclocitral and crocetindial in nearly stoichiometric amounts. Oxidant is dioxygen as has been demonstrated by high incroporation (86%) of 18O2 into -cyclocitral. -Carotene oxygenase is membrane bound, sensitive to sulfhydryl reagents, antioxidants and chelating agents. Iron seems to be an essential part of the enzyme activity. Cofactors necessary for the reaction could not be detected.Abbreviations TLC thin layer-chromatography - PIPES piperazine-N,N-bis-(2-ethanesulfonate) Na - TES 2{[tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methyl]-amino} ethanesulfonic acid Dedicated to Professor G.

Sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation and partitioning in a polyethylene glycol/dextran two-phase system were used to isolate plasmamembrane vesicles from microsomal preparations of soybean cell suspension cultures. Both methods resulted in the enrichment of the activity of a 1,3--glucan synthase which forms a polymer consisting of more than 99% of 1,3-linked glucose (callose). Digitonin increases the 1,3--glucan synthase activity in the various membrane fractions to a different degree, supporting the suggestion that this enzyme is vectorially arranged in the plasma membrane. The enzyme is greatly activated either by poly-l-ornithine or synergistically by Ca2+ and spermine, indicating that the same enzyme is affected and exhibits the regulatory properties necessary for callose synthesis.Abbreviations GSI glucan synthase I - 1,3--GS 1,3--glucan synthase (EC 2.4.1.34) - IDPase inosine 5-diphosphatase - poly-l-Orn poly-l-ornithine - PEG polyethyleneglycol - SGT sterol-glucosyl-transferase - UDPG uridine 5-diphosphoglucose Dedicated to W.

The -isopropylmalate (IPM) dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.85) ofCandida maltosa, the third pathway-specific enzyme of leucine biosynthesis, was purified, some properties of the enzyme were studied and a novel regulatory pattern was found. The Km values of the enzyme were estimated to be 0.42 mM for -IPM and 0.34 mM for NAD+. It is demonstrated that the enzyme can be regulated by L-valine. The inhibition was competitive with respect to -IPM (Ki=1.84 mM) and non-competitive with respect to NAD+ (Ki=5.67 mM). Exogenous addition of L-valine toC. maltosa cells increased the intracellular pool of some intermediates of leucine biosynthesis (-ketoisovalerate, -IPM, -IPM), but has hardly influence on the leucine pool.  相似文献

Summary The specificity of induction of wooddegrading enzymes from Pullularia pullulans was investigated using series of mono-, di- and (14)--trisaccharides or glycanes. A strain of P. pullulans (1740), unable to grow on Avicel or carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC), uses xylan and steamexploded wood as carbon sources. This strain, thus grown, was evaluated for various enzyme activities. d-Xylose was the nutritional inducer of -xylosidase and -xylanase. d-Glucuronic acid induced activity on CMC and -glucosidase activity was observed regardless of carbon source used. (14)--Xylobiose was not an inducer of -xylanase production, but high levels of this enzyme were obtained with either structural isomers (12) or (13)-. Since synthesis of this enzyme was stimulated by increasing xylose concentration yp to 40 g/l, it is suggested that xylose enters the cells by passive transport and is unable to induce a permease system.Affiliated to the Scientific, Technological and Medical University of Grenoble  相似文献

Regulation of β-xylosidase formation by xylose in Trichoderma reesei   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The soft-rot fungus Trichoderma reesei forms -xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) activity during cultivation on xylan and xylose, but not on glucose. When mycelia precultivated on glycerol were washed and transferred to fresh medium without a carbon and nitrogen source, -xylosidase formation was induced by xylan, xylobiose and xylose. A supply of 4 mm xylose and a pH of 2.5 provided optimal conditions for induction. -Xylosidase accounted for the major portion of total extracellular protein under these conditions, and could be purified to physical homogeneity by a single anion exchange chromatography step. A recombinant strain of T. reesei that carries multiple copies of the homologous xylanase II-encoding gene has a six-fold increased xylanase activity, but forms comparable -xylosidase activities. This shows that the rate of xylan hydrolysis has no effect on the induction of -xylosidase. Methyl--d-xyloside inhibited -xylosidase competitively and was a weak -xylosidase inducer. The induction by xylobiose and xylan was strongly enhanced by the simultaneous addition of methyl--d-xylosidese and xylan or xylobiose. The results suggest that a slow supply of xylose is a trigger for -xylosidase induction.  相似文献

Summary The oligosaccharide-producing activity of -galactosidase-1, one of the isomers of -galactosidase (-d-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23) from Bacillus circulans was changed after immobilization onto porous silica gel (Merckogel) by crosslinkage with glutaraldehyde. The reason for this modification was studied by treating the free enzyme with glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde of 0.025% to 3% modified 40% to 90% of the free amino groups with or without intermolecular crosslinking. The maximum yield of oligosaccharides increased from 12% to 40% depending upon degree of modification, while native enzyme gave only 6% trisaccharides during hydrolysis of 127 mM lactose. The K m value for the enzyme treated with glutaraldehyde was also increased.  相似文献

Summary The activities of -galactosidase, -mannosidase and -mannosidase were determined in extracts from the endosperm and from the embryo of fenugreek seeds at different stages of germination. Endosperm homogenates contained little or no activity of the above enzymes in the early stages of germination, before the reserve galactomannan began to be mobilised. The onset of galactomannan breakdown coincided with the appearance of -galactosidase and -mannosidase activities, which increased throughout the period of galactomannan degradation and then remained constant. A similar rise in -galactosidase and -mannosidase activities occurred during galactomannan breakdown in dry-isolated endosperms incubated under germination conditions. The increase could be suppressed by metabolic inhibitors which also inhibit galactomannan breakdown. Embryo homogenates contained high -galactosidase, high -mannosidase and some -mannosidase activity at all stages of germination.No oligomannosyl -1,4 phosphorylase activity could be detected either in the endosperm or in the embryo.It is concluded that the galactomannan of fenugreek is broken down by a series of hydrolases secreted by the aleurone layer of the endosperm. They include -galactosidase, -mannosidase and probably also endo--mannanase.This is part four in a series of papers dealing with galactomannan metabolism.

UDP-GlcNAc: Man3R 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-T I; EC 2.4.1.101) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of complex and hybrid N-glycans. Rat liver GlcNAc-T I has been purified more than 25,000-fold (M r 42,000). TheV max for the pure enzyme with [Man6(Man3)Man6](Man3)Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn as substrate was 4.6 µmol min–1 mg–1. Structural analysis of the enzyme product by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved that the enzyme adds anN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue in 1–2 linkage to the Man3Man-terminus of the substrate. Several derivatives of Man6(Man3)Man-R, a substrate for the enzyme, were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors. An unsubstituted equatorial 4-hydroxyl and an axial 2-hydroxyl on the -linked mannose of Man6(Man3)Man-R are essential for GlcNAc-T I activity. Elimination of the 4-hydroxyl of the 3-linked mannose (Man) of the substrate increases theK M 20-fold. Modifications on the 6-linked mannose or on the core structure affect mainly theK M and to a lesser degree theV max, e.g., substitutions of the Man6 residue at the 2-position by GlcNAc or at the 3- and 6-positions by mannose lower theK M, whereas various other substitutions at the 3-position increase theK M slightly. Man6(Man3)4-O-methyl-Man4GlcNAc was found to be a weak inhibitor of GlcNAc-T I.Abbreviations BSA Bovine serum albumin - Bn benzyl - Fuc, F l-fucose - Gal, G d-galactose - GalNAc, GA N-acetyl-d-galactosamine - Glc d-glucose - GlcNAc, Gn N-acetyl-d-glucosamine - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - Man, M d-mannose - mco 8-methoxycarbonyl-octyl, (CH2)8 COOOCH3 - Me methyl - MES 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride - pnp p-nitrophenyl - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate - T transferase - Tal d-talose - Xyl d-xylose; - {0, 2 + F} Man6 (GlcNAc2Man3) Man4GlcNAc4 (Fuc6) GlcNAc - {2, 2} GlcNAc2Man6 (GlcNAc2Man3) Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc; M5-glycopeptide, Man6 (Man3) Man6 (Man3) Man4 GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn Enzymes: GlcNAc-transferase I, EC 2.4.1.101; GlcNAc-transferase II, EC 2.4.1.143; GlcNAc-transferase III, EC 2.4.1.144; GlcNAc-transferase IV, EC 2.4.1.145; GlcNAc-transferase V, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc2 Man6-R (GlcNAc to Man) 6-GlcNAc-transferase; GlcNAc-transferase VI, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc6(GlcNAc2) Man6-R (GlcNAc to Man) 4-GlcNAc-transferase; Core 1 3-Gal-transferase, EC 2.4.1.122; 4-Gal-transferase, EC 2.4.1.38; 3-Gal-transferase, UDP-Gal: GlcNAc-R 3-Gal-transferase; blood group i 3-GlcNAc-transferase, EC 2.4.1.149; blood group I 6-GlcNAc-transferase, UDP-GlcNAc: GlcNAc3Gal-R (GlcNAc to Gal) 6-GlcNAc-transferase.  相似文献

Two extracellular -glucosidases (cellobiase, EC 3.2.1.21), I and II, from Aspergillus nidulans USDB 1183 were purified to homogeneity with molecular weights of 240,000 and 78,000, respectively. Both hydrolysed laminaribiose, -gentiobiose, cellobiose, p-nitrophenyl--L-glucoside, phenyl--L-glucoside, o-nitrophenyl--L-glucoside, salicin and methyl--L-glucoside but not -linked disaccharides. Both were competitively inhibited by glucose and non-competitively (mixed) inhibited by glucono-1,5-lactone. -Glucosidase I was more susceptible to inhibition by Ag+ and less inhibited by Fe2+ and Fe3+ than -glucosidase II.  相似文献

The specificity of induction of cellulose- and xylan-degrading enzymes was investigated on the yeast strain Trichosporon cutaneum CCY 30-5-4 using series of compounds structurally related to cellulose and xylan, including monosaccharides, glycosides, glucooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides. Determination of activities of secreted cellulase and -xylanase, intracellular, cell wall bound and extracellular -glucosidase and -xylosidase revealed that: (1) The synthesis of xylan-degrading enzymes is induced in the cell only by xylosaccharides, 1,3--xylobiose, 1,2--xylobiose, 1,4--xylosyl-L-arabinose, 1,4--xylobiose and thioxylobiose being the best inducers. The xylan-degrading enzymes show different pattern of development in time and discrete cellular localization, i.e. intracellular -xylosidase precedes extracellular -xylanase. (2) A true cellulase is not inducible by glucosaccharides and cellulose. Negligible constitutive cellulase activity was detected which was about two orders lower than an induced cellulase in the typical cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei QM 9414. (3) The best inducer of intracellular -glucosidase splitting cellobiose was thiocellobiose in a wide range of concentration (0.1–10 mM), whereas xylosaccharides at high concentrations induced -xylosidase of xylobiose type and a non-specific aryl -D-glucosidase.The results were confirmed by growing cells on cellulose and xylan. T. cutaneum was found to be a xylan-voracious yeast, unable to grow on cellulose.  相似文献

The induction of synthesis of the secreted enzymes endo-1,4--xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) and -galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) in original and recombinant Penicillium canescens strains has been studied. In all producer strains, the synthesis of these enzymes was induced by arabinose and its metabolite arabitol. The two enzymes differed in the concentration of arabinose required for induction: the synthesis of -galactosidase was most pronounced at 1 mM, whereas maximum synthesis of endo-1,4--xylanase was observed at 5–10 mM. An increase in the number of endo-1,4--xylanase copies in the high-copy-number strain of the fungus suppressed the synthesis of -galactosidase; the synthesis of endo-1,4--xylanase in the high-copy-number recombinant producing -galactosidase was affected to a lesser extent. The amount of enzymes synthesized did not depend on the saccharide used as the sole source of carbon for growing the mycelium prior to its transfer to the inducer-containing medium.  相似文献

Summary We have confirmed previous demonstrations of sodium gradient-stimulated transport ofl-alanine, phenylalanine, proline, and -alanine, and in addition demonstrated transport of N-methylamino-isobutyric acid (MeAIB) and lysine in isolated rabbit kidney brush border vesicles. In order to probe the multiplicity of transport pathways available to each of these14C-amino acids, we measured the ability of test amino acids to inhibit tracer uptake. To obtain a rough estimate of nonspecific effects, e.g., dissipation of the transmembrane sodium electrochemical potential gradient, we measured the ability ofd-glucose to inhibit tracer uptake.l-alanine and phenylalanine were completely mutually inhibitory. Roughly 75% of the14C-l-alanine uptake could be inhibited by proline and -alanine, while lysine and MeAIB were no more effective thand-glucose. Roughly 50% of the14C-phenylalanine uptake could be inhibited by proline and -alanine; lysine was as effective as proline and -alanine, and the effects of pairs of these amino acids at 50mm each were not cumulative. MeAIB was no more effective thand-glucose. We conclude that three pathways mediate the uptake of neutral,l, -amino acids. One system is inaccessible to lysine, proline, and -alanine. The second system carries a major fraction of thel-alanine flux; it is sensitive to proline and -alanine, but not to lysine. The third system carries half the14C-phenylalanine flux, and it is sensitive to proline, lysine, and -alanine. Since the neutral,l, -amino acid fluxes are insensitive to MeAIB, we conclude that they are not mediated by the classicalA system, and since all of thel-alanine flux is inhibited by phenylalanine, we conclude that it is not mediated by the classicalASC system.l-alanine and phenylalanine completely inhibit uptake of lysine. MeAIB is no more effective thand-glucose in inhibiting lysine uptake, while proline and -alanine appear to inhibit a component of the lysine flux. We conclude that the14C-lysine fluxes are mediated by two systems, one, shared with phenylalanine, which is inhibited by proline, -alanine, andl-alanine, and one which is inhibited byl-alanine and phenylalanine but inaccessible to proline, -alanine, and MeAIB. Fluxes of14C-proline and14C-MeAIB are completely inhibited byl-alanine, phenylalanine, proline, and MeAIB, but they are insensitive to lysine. Proline and MeAIB, as well as alanine and phenylalanine, but not lysine, inhibit14C--alanine uptake. However, -alanine inhibits only 38% of the14C-proline uptake and 57% of the MeAIB uptake. We conclude that two systems mediate uptake of proline and MeAIB, and that one of these systems also transports -alanine.  相似文献

The -2-l-fucosyltransferase in human plasma has been freed from -3-l-fucosyltransferase activity and purified approximately 200,000-fold by a series of steps involving ammonium sulphate precipitation, hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose 4B and affinity chromatography first on GDP-adipate-Sepharose and then on GDP-hexanolamine-Sepharose. The purified -2-l-fucosyltransferase had a Mr on gel filtration HPLC of 158,000 and showed optimal activity in the pH range 6.5–7.0. The enzyme transferred fucose equally well to Type 1 (Gal1-3GlcNAc) and Type 2 (Gal1-4GlcNAc) substrates but Type 3 (Gal1-3GalNAc) structures were less efficient acceptors. Competition experiments indicated that a single enzyme species in the purified preparation was responsible for reactivity with the Type 1 and Type 2 structures. Thus the differences in conformation between the Type 1 and Type 2 disaccharides do not appear to influence the capacities of their terminal non-reducing -d-galactosyl residues to function as acceptor substrates for the -2-l-fucosyltransferase expressed by the blood groupH gene in haemopoietic tissue.  相似文献

Protein preparations from seeds and seedlings (cotyledons) of rape (Brassica napus subsp. napus [L.] DC.) catalyzed the transfer of sinapic acid from 1-Osinapoyl--glucose to malate in the formation of O-s-inapoylmalate. The enzyme involved, 1-O-sinapoyl--glucose: l-malate O-sinapoyltransferase (SMT; EC 2.3.1), catalyzes the key step in the overall conversion of the seed constituent sinapine (O-sinapoylcholine) to the accumulating O-sinapoylmalate by way of the intermediate 1-O-sinapoyl--glucose. The present paper describes this phenomenon focussing on SMT activity.Abbreviations Sin-Glc 1-O-sinapoyl--glucose - Sin-Mal O-sinapoylmalate - SMT 1-O-sinapoyl--glucose: l-malate sinapoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1) This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.  相似文献

Summary On t.l.c. plates 125I-cholera toxin binds to a disialoganglioside tentatively identified as GDlb with about 10 times less capacity than to ganglioside GM1. Binding of labeled toxin to both gangliosides was abolished in presence of excess amounts of unlabeled B subunit. Ganglioside extracts from human or pig intestinal mucosa showed toxin binding to gangliosides GM1 and GD1b. In ganglioside-containing lipid monolayers the penetration of the toxin was independent of the ganglioside binding capacity.Abbreviations GM2 Gal-NAc14Gal(3-2NeuAc)14G1c1Cer - GM1 Gal3Ga1-NAc14Gal(32NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - GD1a NeuAc23Ga113Gal-NAc14Gal(32NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - GD1b Gall3Gal-NAcl4Gal(32NeuAc82NeuAc)14Glc11Cer - GT1b NeuAc23Ga113Ga1-NAcal4Gal(3-2NeuAc82NeuAc)14G1c11Cer - dpPC 1,2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine - dpPE 1,2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine  相似文献

The conformational properties of the oligosaccharide chain of GM1 ganglioside containingN-glycolyl-neuraminic acid, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer, were studied through NMR nuclear Overhauser effect investigations on the monomeric ganglioside in dimethylsulfoxide, and on mixed micelles of ganglioside and dodecylphosphocholine in water. Several interresidual contacts for the trisaccharide core--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-were found to fix the relative orientitation of the three saccharides, while the glycosidic linkage of the terminal -Gal-was found to be quite mobile as the -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-disaccharide exists in different conformations. These results are similar to those found for two GM1 gangliosides containingN-acetyl-neuraminic acid and neuraminic acid [1].Abbreviations Ganglioside nomenclature is in accordance with Svennerholm [23] and the IUPAC-IUB Recommendations [24] GM3(Neu5Ac) II3Neu5AcLacCer, -Neu5Ac-(2-3)--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM3(Neu5Gc) II3Neu5GcLacCer, -Neu5Gc-(2-3)--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu5Ac) II3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu5Gc) II3Neu5GcGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu) II3NeuGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu-(2-3)]--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GD1a IV3Neu5AcII3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -Neu5Ac-(2-3)--Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GalNAc-GD1a IV4GalNAcIV3Neu5AcII3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - Neu neuraminic acid - Neu5Ac N-acetyl-neuraminic acid - Neu5Gc N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid - Cer ceramide  相似文献

Summary As has been shown previously, RNA polymerase subunit ts-mutation rpoC1 results in an overproduction of RNA polymerase subunits at nonpermissive temperature. The mutant enzyme shows low activity in vitro and a sedimentation coefficient 9S which is characteristic of immature core polymerase. In this paper we describe a mutation designated opr1 which suppresses RNA polymerase subunit overproduction. The mutation was found among Ts+ revertants of the Ts double mutant carrying a rpoC1 mutation and a rif-r rpo B251 mutation. Opr1 is closely linked to the original rpo mutations and shows complete trans-dominance. Although opr1 seems to affect RNA polymerase, it does not suppress the accumulation of immature 9S RNA polymerase and does not restore the activity of the RpoC1 mutant enzyme. This and other results of a comparison of strains carrying different combinations of rpoC1, rpoB251 and opr1 mutations suggest that neither inhibition of total RNA and protein synthesis, nor the low RNA polymerase activity in vitro, nor the apparent defects in enzyme maturation, nor the enzyme degradation observed at 42°C are responsible for the overproduction in RpoC1 strains.  相似文献
