The interaction of some anthracycline antibiotics (adriamycin, daunomycin, aclacinomycin-A) with bacteriophage ?X174 was investigated. Adriamycin and daunomycin inactivated the infectivity of both free ?X174 phage and naked single-stranded ?X174 DNA without DNA strand scission, but aclacinomycin-A did not show this action. The phage inactivation reaction was reversibly inhibited by Superoxide dismutase, catalase or other oxygen radical scavengers. The inactivation of ?X174 by adriamycin and aclacinomycin-A was stimulated by the addition of Cu2+, while the ?X174 inactivation by daunomycin was inhibited by the addition of Cu2+. The ?X174 inactivation by adriamycin and aclacinomycin-A in the presence of Cu2+ was caused by degradation of DNA, and this inactivation reaction was inhibited irreversibly by oxygen radical scavengers. These results indicate that anthracycline antibiotics bind to ?X174 DNA in the form of free radicals and that during the auto-oxidation of these antibiotics in the presence of Cu2+, oxygen radicals were generated to cause the degradation of ?X174 DNA. 相似文献

The light and heavy plasma membranes (PM) isolated from lactating bovine mammary glands contained 38~43% lipid of which 41~44% was phospholipid and 47~52% neutral lipid. The contents of phospholipid and neutral lipid were somewhat higher in the light PM than in the heavy PM. Cholesterol was contained 55 ~60% of neutral lipid and the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was 0.64 to 0.69. Phospholipid was composed of sphingomyelin (Sph) 29~38%, phosphatidylcholine (PC) 27~35%, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 16~20%, phosphatidylserine 10%, and phosphatidylinositol 6~7%. The content of Sph was higher in the heavy PM than in the light PM, while the values of PC and PE were opposite. The major fatty acids of lipid components were palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid and those of Sph were palmitic acid, stearic acid, C23:0 and 24:0. The fatty acid composition of individual lipid classes differed significantly from each other but were similar between the light and heavy PMs. Tetracosapentaenoic acid (C24:5) was the major fatty acid of the diacylglycerol fraction. The results indicated that the lipid composition, especially phospholipid components, of bovine mammary gland PMs was different from those of milk fat globule membranes which is derived from the PM of mammary secretory cells. 相似文献

In the detergent industry, fungal endoglucanases are used to release microfibrils from the surfaces of dyed cellulosic fabrics to enhance color brightness. Family 45 endoglucanase (glycoside hydrolase family 45, GH45) EGL3 from Humicola grisea is more resistant to anionic surfactants and oxidizing agents than family 45 endoglucanase RCE1 from Rhizopus oryzae, while in the present study, a catalytic domain of RCE1 had higher defibrillation activity on dyed cotton fabrics than did that of EGL3. To identify the amino acid regions involved in these properties, we compared the characteristics of RCE1, EGL3, and three chimeric endoglucanases, in which each of the three regions of the catalytic domain of EGL3 was replaced by the corresponding region of the catalytic domain of RCE1. Amino acids in the N-terminal region were involved in resistance to anionic surfactants and oxidizing agents. Furthermore, amino acids in the region adjacent to the N-terminal region were involved in releasing microfibrils and in binding to dyed cotton fabrics, indicating that the binding of the amino acids in this region might be important in the release of microfibrils from dyed cotton fabrics. 相似文献

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of soybean protein isolate developed two peaks corresponded to 11S and 7S globulin, the denaturation temperatures of which were 93.3 and 76.5°C, respectively, with 94% water. These peaks shifted to higher temperatures with lower water contents of the sample. At 47% water, there were two peaks, at 149 and 118.7°C, and at 11% water, there was one peak at 180°C. The DSC thermogram measured during cooling and reheating gave no peak. The soybean protein isolate was heated with 24.5% water at 100°C and then mixed with more water to the water contents of 94%. This sample gave two peaks at temperatures close to those of the original soybean protein, indicating that the soybean protein was not denatured at temperatures even above 100°C when the water content was low. 相似文献

Mammary gland chromatin from lactating rats was fractionated according to the Mg2+-solubility method after mild digestion with DNase II. The chromatin properties were compared between the Mg2+-soluble (S2) and the Mg2+-insoluble (P2) fractions. The weight ratio of RNA to DNA was much greater in the S2 fraction than in the P2 fraction (S2, 0.92; P2, 0.03). The DNA repeat length of the nucleosome was very similar between the two fractions (S2, 193 ± 7; P2, 1% ± 8 nucleotide pairs). A significant difference was seen in electrophoretic pattern of H1 histone between the two fractions in the acid-urea gel system. Nonhistone proteins with molecular weights higher than about 40,000 dalton were found to be enriched in the S2 fraction. 相似文献

Multiple sequence alignment separates members of glycoside hydrolase Family 6 into eight subfamilies: one of mainly actinobacterial endoglucanases (EGs), one of ascomycotal EGs, one of chytridiomycotal EGs and cellobiohydrolases (CBHs), one of actinobacterial and proteobacterial CBHs, one of chytridiomycotal CBHs, two of ascomycotal CBHs, and one of basidiomycotal CBHs. Each also has some proteins of unknown function. Multiple sequence alignment also extends to all of Family 6 the observation that lengths of loops that form the active-site tunnel in CBHs vary among subfamilies, and along with loop conformations, determine enzyme function. 相似文献

Broad-specificity glycoside hydrolases (GHs) contribute to plant biomass hydrolysis by degrading a diverse range of polysaccharides, making them useful catalysts for renewable energy and biocommodity production. Discovery of new GHs with improved kinetic parameters or more tolerant substrate-binding sites could increase the efficiency of renewable bioenergy production even further. GH5 has over 50 subfamilies exhibiting selectivities for reaction with β-(1,4)–linked oligo- and polysaccharides. Among these, subfamily 4 (GH5_4) contains numerous broad-selectivity endoglucanases that hydrolyze cellulose, xyloglucan, and mixed-linkage glucans. We previously surveyed the whole subfamily and found over 100 new broad-specificity endoglucanases, although the structural origins of broad specificity remained unclear. A mechanistic understanding of GH5_4 substrate specificity would help inform the best protein design strategies and the most appropriate industrial application of broad-specificity endoglucanases. Here we report structures of 10 new GH5_4 enzymes from cellulolytic microbes and characterize their substrate selectivity using normalized reducing sugar assays and MS. We found that GH5_4 enzymes have the highest catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of xyloglucan, glucomannan, and soluble β-glucans, with opportunistic secondary reactions on cellulose, mannan, and xylan. The positions of key aromatic residues determine the overall reaction rate and breadth of substrate tolerance, and they contribute to differences in oligosaccharide cleavage patterns. Our new composite model identifies several critical structural features that confer broad specificity and may be readily engineered into existing industrial enzymes. We demonstrate that GH5_4 endoglucanases can have broad specificity without sacrificing high activity, making them a valuable addition to the biomass deconstruction toolset. 相似文献

Free fatty acids (FFAs) in plasma are essential substrates for de novo synthesis of milk fat, or directly import into mammary cells. The physico-chemical properties of mammary cells membrane composition affected by FFAs with different chain lengths and saturability are unclear yet. Employing GC, FTIR and fluorescence spectroscopy, the adsorption capacity, phospholipids content, membrane proteins conformation, lipid peroxidation product, and free sulfhydryl of plasma membranes (PMs) interacted with different FFAs were determined. The mammary cells PMs at 38 and 39.5 °C showed different adsorption capacities: acetic acid (Ac) > stearic acid (SA) > β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) > trans10, cis12 CLA. In the FTIR spectrum, the major adsorption peaks appeared at 2920 and 2850 cm?1 for phospholipids, and at 1628 and 1560 cm?1 for membrane proteins. The intensities of PMs-FFAs complexes were varied with the FFAs species and their initial concentrations. The β-sheet and turn structures of membrane proteins were transferred into random coil and α-helix after BHBA, SA and trans10, cis12 CLA treatments compared with Ac treatment. The quenching effects on the fluorescence of endogenous membrane protein, 1, 8-ANS, NBD-PE, and DHPE entrapped in PMs by LCFA were different from those of short chain FFAs. These results indicate that the adsorption of FFAs could change membrane protein conformation and polarity of head group in phospholipids. This variation of the mammary cells PMs was regulated by carbon chain length and saturability of FFAs. 相似文献

Four xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10—Thermotoga maritima XylB (TM), Clostridium stercorarium XynB (CS), Bacillus halodurans XynA (BH), and Cellulomonas fimi Cex (CF)—were converted to glycosynthases by substituting the nucleophilic glutamic acid residues with glycine, alanine, and serine. The glycine mutants exhibited the highest levels of glycosynthase activity with all four enzymes. All the glycine mutants formed polymeric β-1,4-linked xylopyranose as a precipitate during reaction with α-xylobiosyl fluoride. Two glycine mutants (TM and CF) recognized X2 as an effective acceptor molecule to prohibit the formation of the polymer, while the other two (CS and BH) did not. The difference in acceptor specificity is considered to reflect the difference in substrate affinity at their +2 subsites. The results agreed with the structural predictions of the subsite, where TM and CF exhibit high affinity at subsite 2, suggesting that the glycosynthase technique is useful for investigating the affinity of +subsites. 相似文献

纤维素酶的分子改造是其催化性能改进及催化效率提升的重要手段。近年来,组学技术与结构测定技术的迅速发展,人们已建立了包括糖苷水解酶(Glycoside hydrolase,GH)在内的碳水化合物活性酶组分数据库。通过对同一蛋白家族进行序列比对、分子进化分析与祖先基因重构,以结构模建分析为指导的纤维素酶分子改造,可以明显缩小序列或结构的搜索空间,加快酶分子改造的速度,增大理性设计成功的概率;同时针对催化中心活性架构的分析可以进一步阐明纤维素酶的催化机理与酶分子持续性降解机制。文中主要对纤维素酶家族及其催化结构域的分子改造取得的最新进展作了综述。在后基因组时代基于蛋白质家族中的海量数据分析,以其保守结构信息为指导的理性设计,将会成为纤维素酶分子改造的重要方向,从而推动生物质转化工艺的快速发展。 相似文献

An enzyme that has both β-1,4-glucanase and chitosanase activities was found in the culture medium of the soil bacterium Lysobacter sp. IB-9374, a high lysyl endopeptidase-producing strain. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate using five purification steps and designated Cel8A. The purified Cel8A had a molecular mass of 41 kDa, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A pH optimum of 5.0 was found for the β-1,4-glucanase activity, and pH optima of 5.0 and 7.0 were found for the chitosanase activity. Nucleotide sequencing of the Cel8A gene yielded a deduced amino acid sequence that comprises a 33-amino acid, N-terminal signal peptide and a mature enzyme consisting of a 381-residue polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 41,241 Da. The amino acid sequence of the Cel8A, which contains the catalytic module of glycosyl hydrolase family 8, is homologous to β-1,3-1,4-D-glucanase from Bacillus circulans WL-12 and endoglucanase N-257 from B. circulans KSM-N257. 相似文献

Aims: To characterize the duel activities of a glycosyl hydrolase family 3 β‐glucosidase/xylosidase from rumen bacterial metagenome and to investigate the capabilities of its β‐d ‐xylosidase activities for saccharification of hemicellulosic xylans. Methods and Results: A β‐glucosidase/xylosidase gene RuBGX1 was cloned from yak (Bos grunniens) rumen using the metagenomic technology. Recombinant RuBGX1, expressed in Escherichia coli, demonstrated high hydrolytic activities on both p‐nitrophenyl‐β‐d ‐glucopyranoside (pNP‐Glc) and p‐nitrophenyl‐β‐d ‐xylopyranoside (pNP‐Xyl) substrates. Analysis of the kinetic properties indicated that RuBGX1 had a lower affinity for pNP‐Glc substrate as the Km was 0·164 mmol l?1 for pNP‐Glc and 0·03 mmol l?1 for pNP‐Xyl at pH 6·0 and 50°C, respectively. The capabilities of RuBGX1 β‐xylosidase for hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharide substrates were further investigated using an endoxylanase‐coupled assay. Hydrolysis time courses illustrated that a significant increase (about 50%) in the reducing sugars, including xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose, was achieved by supplementing endoxylanase with RuBGX1. Enzymatic product analysis using high‐performance anion‐exchange chromatography‐pulsed amperometric detection showed that RuBGX1 could release xyloses from intermediate xylooligosaccharides produced by endoxylanase. Conclusions: The RuBGX1 shows β‐glucosidase activity in hydrolysis of cello‐oligosaccharides; meanwhile, it has β‐xylosidase activity and functions synergistically with endoxylanase to promote the degradation of hemicellulosic xylans. Significance and Impact of the study: This was the first to report the β‐xylosidase activity of family 3 β‐glucosidase/xylosidase functioned in the degradation of hemicellulosic xylans. The bifunctional β‐glucosidase/xylosidase property of RuBGX1 can be used in simultaneous saccharification of cellulose and xylan into fermentable glucose and xylose. 相似文献

ABSTRACTMaltose phosphorylase (MP), a glycoside hydrolase family 65 enzyme, reversibly phosphorolyzes maltose. In this study, we characterized Bacillus sp. AHU2001 MP (MalE) that was produced in Escherichia coli. The enzyme exhibited phosphorolytic activity to maltose, but not to other α-linked glucobioses and maltotriose. The optimum pH and temperature of MalE for maltose-phosphorolysis were 8.1 and 45°C, respectively. MalE was stable at a pH range of 4.5–10.4 and at ≤40°C. The phosphorolysis of maltose by MalE obeyed the sequential Bi–Bi mechanism. In reverse phosphorolysis, MalE utilized d-glucose, 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol, methyl α-d-glucoside, 2-deoxy-d-glucose, d-mannose, d-glucosamine, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, kojibiose, 3-deoxy-d-glucose, d-allose, 6-deoxy-d-glucose, d-xylose, d-lyxose, l-fucose, and l-sorbose as acceptors. The kcat(app)/Km(app) value for d-glucosamine and 6-deoxy-d-glucose was comparable to that for d-glucose, and that for other acceptors was 0.23–12% of that for d-glucose. MalE synthesized α-(1→3)-glucosides through reverse phosphorolysis with 2-deoxy-d-glucose and l-sorbose, and synthesized α-(1→4)-glucosides in the reaction with other tested acceptors. 相似文献

Full-length and truncated forms of a modular thermostable xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8., glycoside hydrolase family 10) were used in bleaching sequences of hardwood and softwood kraft pulps. Enzymatic treatment led to brightness gains of all pulps but the result depended on the pulp source. The presence of the additional domains in the full-length enzyme (including carbohydrate-binding modules) did not improve the bleaching process. No significant change in viscosity was seen after enzyme treatments indicating an unaffected pulp fibre length. 相似文献

One kojibiose phoshorylase (KP) homolog gene was cloned from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus ATCC43494. Recombinant KP from C. saccharolyticus (Cs-KP) expressed in Escherichia coli showed highest activity at pH 6.0 at 85 °C, and was stable from pH 3.5 to 10.0 and up to 85 °C for phosphorolysis. Cs-KP showed higher productivity of kojioligosaccharides of DP≧4 than KP from Thermoanaerobacter brockii ATCC35047. 相似文献

1,4-beta-D-Xylan is the major component of plant cell-wall hemicelluloses. beta-D-Xylosidases are involved in the breakdown of xylans into xylose and belong to families 3, 39, 43, 52, and 54 of glycoside hydrolases. Here, we report the first crystal structure of a member of family 39 glycoside hydrolase, i.e. beta-D-xylosidase from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum strain B6A-RI. This study also represents the first structure of any beta-xylosidase of the above five glycoside hydrolase families. Each monomer of T. saccharolyticum beta-xylosidase comprises three distinct domains; a catalytic domain of the canonical (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel fold, a beta-sandwich domain, and a small alpha-helical domain. We have determined the structure in two forms: D-xylose-bound enzyme and a covalent 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-xylosyl-enzyme intermediate complex, thus providing two snapshots in the reaction pathway. This study provides structural evidence for the proposed double displacement mechanism that involves a covalent intermediate. Furthermore, it reveals possible functional roles for His228 as the auxiliary acid/base and Glu323 as a key residue in substrate recognition. 相似文献
