A MeOH extract of cultivated Chondrus crispus showed dose-dependent nitric oxide (NO) inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in macrophage RAW264.7 cells. NO inhibition-guided fractionation of the extract led to identification of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 1), arachidonic acid (AA, 2), lutein (3), and eight galactolipids as active components. Based on spectral analysis, the isolated galactolipids were identified as (2S)-1,2-bis-O-eicosapentaenoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (4), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-arachidonoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (5), (2S)-1-O-(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatetranoyl)-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (6), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (7), (2S)-1,2-bis-O-arachidonoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (8), (2S)-1-O-arachidonoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (9), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (10), and (2S)-1-O-arachidonoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (11). All the isolated compounds showed significant NO inhibitory activity. This is the first report of the isolation and identification of individual galactolipids from C. crispus. Moreover, (2S)-1,2-bis-O-arachidonoyl ?3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (8) is a novel compound. 相似文献

3-O-β-d-Xylopyranosyl-l-serine (xylosylserine) was synthesized by the following three-step procedure: 1) 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-d-xylopyranosyl bromide (benzobromoxylose) was condensed withN-carbobenzoxy-l-serine benzyl ester using the silver triflate-collidine complex as promoter; 2) theN-carbobenzoxy and benzyl ester groups in the resultant glycoside were cleaved by transfer hydrogenation with palladium black as catalyst and ammonium formate as hydrogen donor; and 3) the benzoyl groups were removed with methanolic ammonia. Xylosylserine was obtained in an overall yield of 70%. O-β-d-Galactopyranosyl-(1-4)-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1-3)-l-serine (galactosylxylosylserine) was also synthesized by this methodology and was characterized by 2-dimensional (2D) NMR spectroscopy techniques. The two serine glycosides (xylosylserine and galactosylxylosylserine) were used in detection and partial purification of galactosyltransferase I (UDP-d-galactose:d-xylose galactosyltransferase) from adult rat liver. 相似文献

We have proposed a new mannan catabolic pathway in Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 that involves a putative mannanase ManA in glycoside hydrolase family 26 (BF0771), a mannobiose and/or sugar transporter (BF0773), mannobiose 2-epimerase (BF0774), and mannosylglucose phosphorylase (BF0772). If this hypothesis is correct, ManA has to generate mannobiose from mannans as the major end product. In this study, the BF0771 gene from the B. fragilis genome was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The expressed protein was found to produce mannobiose exclusively from mannans and initially from manno-oligosaccharides. Production of 4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannose or 4-O-β-d-mannopyranosyl-d-glucose from mannans was not detectable. The results indicate that this enzyme is a novel mannobiose-forming exo-mannanase, consistent with the new microbial mannan catabolic pathway we proposed. 相似文献

The tetrasaccharide 2-(p-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)ethylO-α-l-fucopyranosyl-(1–3)-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosyl)-(1–3)-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1–4)-β-d-glucopyranoside was synthesized from thioglycoside intermediates. The key step was a methyl triflate promoted glycosidation of a lactose-derived 3′,4′-diol with a disaccharide thioglycoside to give a β(1–3)-linked tetrasaccharide derivative in 67% yield. 相似文献

A recombinant putative N-acyl-d-glucosamine 2-epimerase from Dictyoglomus turgidum was identified as a cellobiose 2-epimerase by evaluating its substrate specificity. The purified enzyme was a 46?kDa monomer with a specific activity of 16.8?μmol?min?1?mg?1 for cellobiose. The epimerization activity was maximal at pH 7.0 and 70?°C with a half-life of 55?h. The isomerization of the glucose at the reducing end of β-1,4- and α-1,4-linked gluco-oligosaccharides to a fructose moiety by the enzyme took place after the epimerization of the glucose to a mannose moiety. The enzyme converted cellobiose to 12.8?% 4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannose and 54.6?% 4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-d-fructose as an equilibrium and converted lactose to 12.8?% epilactose and 54.3?% lactulose. 相似文献

Chemical investigation of the freshwater rhodophyte microalga Porphyridium aerugineum led to the isolation of five new galactolipids, namely, (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-arachidonoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-linoleoyl-3-O-β-d-galactopyranosylglycerol (2), (2S)-1-O-arachidoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (6), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-arachidoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (7), and (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-linoleoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (8) together with five known galactolipids. The stereo-structures of all new galactolipids were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and both enzymatic and chemical degradation methods. This is the first report of galactolipids from P. aerugineum. The newly isolated galactolipids showed strong and dose-dependent nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Both galactolipids 1 and 2 possessed stronger NO inhibitory activity than N G-methyl-l-arginine acetate salt, a well-known NO inhibitor used as a positive control. Further study suggested that these galactolipids inhibit NO production through downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. 相似文献

Two novel disaccharides, rutinose and methylrutinose, are involved in carbon metabolism in Datisca glomerata 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Datisca glomerata forms nitrogen-fixing root nodules in symbiosis with soil actinomycetes from the genus Frankia. Analysis of sugars in roots, nodules and leaves of D. glomerata revealed the presence of two novel compounds that were identified as α-l-rhamnopyranoside-(1 → 6)-d-glucose (rutinose) and α-l-rhamnopyranoside-(1 → 6)-1-O-β-d-methylglucose (methylrutinose). Rutinose has been found previously as a/the glycoside part of several flavonoid glycosides, e.g. rutin, also of datiscin, the main flavonoid of Datisca cannabina, but had not been reported as free sugar. Time course analyses suggest that both rutinose and methylrutinose might play a role in transient carbon storage in sink organs and, to a lesser extent, in source leaves. Their concentrations show that they can accumulate in the vacuole. Rutinose, but not methylrutinose, was accepted as a substrate by the tonoplast disaccharide transporter SUT4 from Arabidopsis. In vivo 14C-labeling and the study of uptake of exogenous sucrose and rutinose from the leaf apoplast showed that neither rutinose nor methylrutinose appreciably participate in phloem translocation of carbon from source to sink organs, despite rutinose being found in the apoplast at significant levels. A model for sugar metabolism in D. glomerata is presented. 相似文献

A novel protodioscin-(steroidal saponin)-glycoside hydrolase, named protodioscin-glycosidase-1 (PGase-1), was purified and characterized from the Aspergillus oryzae strain. The molecular mass of this enzyme was determined to be about 55 kDa based on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. PGase-1 was able to hydrolyze the terminal 26-O-β-d-glucopyranoside of protodioscin (furostanoside) to produce dioscin (spirostanoside), and then further hydrolyze the terminal 3-O-(1?→?4)-α-l-rhamnopyranoside of dioscin to form progenin III. However, PGase-1 could hardly hydrolyze the 3-O-(1?→?2)-α-l-rhamnopyranoside of progenin III, 3-O-β-d-glucoside of trillin, and the 1-O-glycosides of ophiopogonin D (steroidal saponin). In addition, PGase-1 also could hydrolyze the α-d-galactopyranoside, β-d-glucopyranoside, and β-d-galactopyranoside of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides, but the enzyme could not hydrolyze the α-d-mannopyranoside, α-l-arabinopyranoside, α-d-glucopyranoside, β-d-xylopyranoside, and α-l-rhamnopyranoside of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides. These new properties of PGase-1 were significantly different from those of previously described steroidal saponin-glycosidases and the glycosidases currently described in Enzyme Nomenclature by the NC-IUBMB. The gene (termed as pgase-1) encoding PGase-1 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The complete nucleotide sequence of pgase-1 consists of 1,725 bp. The recombinant PGase-1 from recombinant P. pastoris GS115 strain also showed the activity hydrolyzing glycosides of steroidal saponins which was similar to that of the wild-type PGase-1 from A. oryzae. The PGase-1 gene is highly similar to Aspergilli α-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), and PGase-1 should be classified as glycoside hydrolase family 13 by the method of gene sequence-based classification. But the enzyme properties of PGase-1 are different from those of α-amylase in this family. 相似文献

Chemical investigation of a marine microalga, Nannochloropsis granulata, led to the isolation of four digalactosyldiacylglycerols namely, (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-palmitoleoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (2), (2S)-1-O-eicosapentaenoyl-2-O-myristoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (3), and (2S)-1,2-bis-O-eicosapentaenoyl-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl-6-1α-d-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (4), together with their monogalactosyl analogs (5–8). Among the isolated galactolipids 2 and 3 were new natural products. Complete stereochemistry of 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 was determined for the first time by both spectroscopic techniques and classical degradation methods. Both mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerols isolated from N. granulata possessed strong nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells through downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression indicating the possible use as anti-inflammatory agents. 相似文献

Cell-free extracts from leaves of Rhus typhina L. (sumach) were found to transfer the 1-O-galloyl moiety of l,6-di-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose to the 2-position of the same compound, yielding 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose and leaving 6-O-galloylglucose as the deacylated by-product. The enzyme catalyzing this ‘disproportionation’ was purified almost 1700-fold. It had a molecular weight of approx. 56 000, a K m value of 11.5 mM, was stable between pH 4.5 and 6.5, and most active at pH 5.9 and 40° C. The systematic name “1,6-di-O-galloyl-glucose: 1,6-di-O-galloylglucose 2-O-galloyltransferase” (EC 2.3.1.) was proposed for this new enzyme whose detection provided evidence that, in addition to β-glucogallin (1-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose), higher substituted glucose esters also have the potential to serve as acyl donors in the biosynthesis of gallotannins. 相似文献

A pre-embedding lectin-gold labelling method was used to characterize the carbohydrate components in the mucilage ofLemonniera aquatica. A specific tissue processing protocol was developed, namely: a) primary fixation in 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PIPES buffer (pH 7.2) for 30 min; b) secondary fixation in 2% glutaraldehyde in the same buffer system for 1 h; c) post-fixation in 1% aqueous OsO4 for 1h; d) embedment in Möllenhaur's resin. The three gold conjugated lectins used were: concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin andLimax flavus agglutinin, allowing detection of their complementary saccharides, namely α-d-mannose/α-d-glucose,N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GluNAc), andN-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), respectively.N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine and NANA residues were the major components of germ tube mucilage with only a small amount of α-d-manose/α-d-glucose. However, NANA was restricted to the mucilage in the region of germ tube emergence from the conidial arm. The abundance of GluNAc and NANA residues on hyphae and appressoria was less than that on the germ tube. Conversely, α-d-mannose/α-d-glucose was more abundant in the appressorial mucilage. Variability of mucilage composition was found to exist between different structures of the germinated conidium and also between different regions of the same structure. Further, the conidial cell wall ofL. aquatica is not chitinous, and lacks NANA and α-d-mannose/α-d-gluocse. 相似文献

β-d-Xylosidase catalyzes hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharides to d-xylose residues. The enzyme, SXA from Selenomonas ruminantium, is the most active catalyst known for the reaction; however, its activity is inhibited by d-xylose and d-glucose (K i values of ~10?2?M). Higher K i’s could enhance enzyme performance in lignocellulose saccharification processes for bioethanol production. We report here the development of a two-tier high-throughput screen where the 1° screen selects for activity (active/inactive screen) and the 2° screen selects for a higher K i(d-xylose) and its subsequent use in screening ~5,900 members of an SXA enzyme library prepared using error-prone PCR. In one variant, termed SXA-C3, K i(d-xylose) is threefold and K i(d-glucose) is twofold that of wild-type SXA. C3 contains four amino acid mutations, and one of these, W145G, is responsible for most of the lost affinity for the monosaccharides. Experiments that probe the active site with ligands that bind only to subsite ?1 or subsite +1 indicate that the changed affinity stems from changed affinity for d-xylose in subsite +1 and not in subsite ?1 of the two-subsite active site. Trp145 is 6 Å from the active site, and its side chain contacts three active-site residues, two in subsite +1 and one in subsite ?1. 相似文献

As majority of chemical compounds identified as anti-cancerous are toxic to normal cells, the discovery and identification of new safe drugs is a necessity in the biomedical field. The antioxidant, antitumour and immunomodulating properties of an exopolysaccharide of sequence -α-d-glucose, α-d-mannose and β-d-glucose-, purified from a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum was studied. The immunostimulation of the compound in human lymphocytes was seen at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL with 20% proliferation rate. The antitumour studies by morphological apoptosis determination and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) exhibited an IC50 of 10 mg/mL for the compound. 相似文献

The effects of sodium, potassium, sugar inhibitors, and membrane potential on 3H-d-glucose uptake by hepatopancreatic epithelial brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of the Atlantic marine shrimp, Litopenaeus setiferus, were investigated. Brush border membrane vesicles were prepared using a MgCl2/EGTA precipitation method and uptake experiments were conducted using a high speed filtration technique. 3H-d-Glucose uptake was stimulated by both sodium and potassium and these transport rates were almost doubled in the presence of an inside-negative-induced membrane potential. Kinetics of 3H-d-glucose influx were hyperbolic functions of both external Na+ or K+, and an induced membrane potential increased influx J max and lowered Km in both salts. 3H-d-Glucose influx versus [glucose] in both Na+ or K+ media also displayed Michaelis–Menten properties that were only slightly affected by induced membrane potential. Phloridzin was a poor inhibitor of 0.5 mM 3H-d-glucose influx, requiring at least 5 mM in NaCl and 10 mM in KCl to significantly reduce hexose transport. Several sugars (d-galactose, α-methyl-d-gluco-pyranoside, unlabeled d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-mannose) were used at 75 mM as potential inhibitors of 0.1 mM 3H-d-glucose influx. Only unlabeled d-glucose, d-fructose, and d-mannose significantly (p < 0.05) reduced labeled glucose transport. An additional experiment using increasing concentrations of d-mannose (0, 10, 25, 75, and 100 mM) showed this hexose to be an effective inhibitor of 0.1 mM 3H-d-glucose uptake at concentrations of 75 mM and higher. As a whole these results suggest that 3H-d-glucose transport by hepatopancreatic BBMV occurs by a carrier system that is able to use both Na+ and K+ as drivers, is enhanced by membrane potential, is relatively refractory to phloridzin, and is only inhibited by itself, d-fructose, and d-mannose. These properties are similar to those exhibited by the mammalian SLC5A9/SGLT4 transporter, suggesting that an invertebrate analogue of this protein may occur in shrimp. 相似文献

A recombinant l-fucose isomerase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was purified as a single 68 kDa band with an activity of 76 U mg?1. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 204 kDa as a trimer. The maximum activity for l-fucose isomerization was at pH 7 and 75°C in the presence of 1 mM Mn2+. Its half-life at 70°C was 6.1 h. For aldose substrates, the enzyme displayed activity in decreasing order for l-fucose, with a k cat of 11,910 min?1 and a K m of 140 mM, d-arabinose, d-altrose, and l-galactose. These aldoses were converted to the ketoses l-fuculose, d-ribulose, d-psicose, and l-tagatose, respectively, with 24, 24, 85, 55% conversion yields after 3 h. 相似文献

d-Tagatose 3-epimerase family enzymes can efficiently catalyze the epimerization of free keto-sugars, which could be used for d-psicose production from d-fructose. In previous studies, all optimum pH values of these enzymes were found to be alkaline. In this study, a d-psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase) with neutral pH optimum from Clostridium bolteae (ATCC BAA-613) was identified and characterized. The gene encoding the recombinant DPEase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. In order to characterize the catalytic properties, the recombinant DPEase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using nickel-affinity chromatography. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was shown to inhibit the enzyme activity completely; therefore, the enzyme was identified as a metalloprotein that exhibited the highest activity in the presence of Co2+. Although the DPEase demonstrated the most activity at a pH ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, it exhibited optimal activity at pH 7.0. The optimal temperature for the recombinant DPEase was 55 °C, and the half-life was 156 min at 55 °C. Using d-psicose as the substrate, the apparent K m, k cat, and catalytic efficiency (k cat/K m) were 27.4 mM, 49 s?1, and 1.78 s?1 mM?1, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the equilibrium ratio of d-fructose to d-psicose was 69:31. For high production of d-psicose, 216 g/L d-psicose could be produced with 28.8 % turnover yield at pH 6.5 and 55 °C. The recombinant DPEase exhibited weak-acid stability and thermostability and had a high affinity and turnover for the substrate d-fructose, indicating that the enzyme was a potential d-psicose producer for industrial production. 相似文献

It has long been believed that amino acids comprising proteins of all living organisms are only of the l-configuration, except for Gly. However, peptidyl d-amino acids were observed in hydrolysates of soluble high molecular weight fractions extracted from cells or tissues of various organisms. This strongly suggests that significant amounts of d-amino acids are naturally present in usual proteins. Thus we analyzed the d-amino acid contents of His-tag-purified β-galactosidase and human urocortin, which were synthesized by Escherichia coli grown in controlled synthetic media. After acidic hydrolysis for various times at 110°C, samples were derivatized with 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2, 1, 3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F) and separated on a reverse-phase column followed by a chiral column into d- and l-enantiomers. The contents of d-enantiomers of Ala, Leu, Phe, Val, Asp, and Glu were determined by plotting index d/(d + l) against the incubation time for hydrolysis and extrapolating the linear regression line to 0 h to eliminate the effect of racemization of amino acids during the incubation. Significant contents of d-amino acids were reproducibly detected, the d-amino acid profile being specific to an individual protein. This finding indicated the likelihood that d-amino acids are in fact present in the purified proteins. On the other hand, the d-amino acid contents of proteins were hardly influenced by the addition of d- or l-amino acids to the cultivation medium, whereas intracellular free d-amino acids sensitively varied according to the extracellular conditions. The origin of these d-amino acids detected in proteins was discussed. 相似文献
