A series of N-protected peptide alcohols were synthesized using amino alcohols with unprotected hydroxy groups as amino components by the catalysis of subtilisin or alpha-chymotrypsin in organic solvents. N-protected aromatic amino acid esters were more suitable as acyl donors for subtilisin. The influences of different N-protecting groups, organic solvents, and content of water on synthesis of N-protected peptide alcohols were systematically studied. 相似文献

Enzymatic catalysis in nonaqueous solvents 总被引:39,自引:0,他引:39
Subtilisin and alpha-chymotrypsin vigorously act as catalysts in a variety of dry organic solvents. Enzymatic transesterifications in organic solvents follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the values of V/Km roughly correlate with solvent's hydrophobicity. The amount of water required by chymotrypsin and subtilisin for catalysis in organic solvents is much less than needed to form a monolayer on its surface. The vastly different catalytic activities of chymotrypsin in various organic solvents are partly due to stripping of the essential water from the enzyme by more hydrophilic solvents and partly due to the solvent directly affecting the enzymatic process. The rate enhancements afforded by chymotrypsin and subtilisin in the transesterification reaction in octane are of the order of 100 billion-fold; covalent modification of the active center of the enzymes by a site-specific reagent renders them catalytically inactive in organic solvents. Upon replacement of water with octane as the reaction medium, the specificity of chymotrypsin toward competitive inhibitors reverses. Both thermal and storage stabilities of chymotrypsin are greatly enhanced in nonaqueous solvents compared to water. The phenomenon of enzymatic catalysis in organic solvents appears to be due to the structural rigidity of proteins in organic solvents resulting in high kinetic barriers that prevent the native-like conformation from unfolding. 相似文献

Pressure affects enzyme function in nonaqueous media. Activation volumes have been determined and provide evidence that the primary effect of pressure is to enhance the stripping of water off an enzyme in polar organic solvents and leads to decreased enzymatic activity. Activation volumes of subtilisin Carlsberg in organic solvents, particularly with the enzyme hydrated, have a larger magnitude than activation volumes determined in aqueous solutions. This study provides further evidence that enzymatic activity in polar organic solvents is dominated by the interaction of enzyme-bound water with the solvent. From a practical standpoint, however, the results of this study suggest that enzymatic catalysis in organic solvents may be controlled by the combined effects of pressure and enzyme hydration.

A protein solubilization method has been developed to directly solubilize protein clusters into organic solvents containing small quantities of surfactant and trace amounts of water. Termed "direct solubilization," this technique was shown to solubilize three distinct proteins - subtilisin Carlsberg, lipase B from Candida antarctica, and soybean peroxidase - with much greater efficiencies than extraction of the protein from aqueous solution into surfactant-containing organic solvents (referred to as extraction). More significant, however, was the dramatic increase in directly solubilized enzyme activity relative to extracted enzyme activity, particularly for subtilisin and lipase in polar organic solvents. For example, in THF the initial rate towards bergenin transesterification was ca. 70 times higher for directly solubilized subtilisin than for the extracted enzyme. Furthermore, unlike their extracted counterparts, the directly solubilized enzymes yielded high product conversions across a spectrum of non-polar and polar solvents. Structural characterization of the solubilized enzymes via light scattering and atomic force microscopy revealed soluble proteins consisting of active enzyme aggregates containing approximately 60 and 100 protein molecules, respectively, for subtilisin and lipase. Formation of such clusters appears to provide a microenvironment conducive to catalysis and, in polar organic solvents at least, may protect the enzyme from solvent-induced inactivation. 相似文献

Correlation between catalytic activity and secondary structure of subtilisin dissolved in organic solvents 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to quantify the alpha-helix and beta-sheet contents of subtilisin Carlsberg dissolved in several nonaqueous, as well as aqueous, solvents. Independently, the catalytic activity of the enzyme has been measured in the same solvents. While our previous FTIR studies revealed no connection between the secondary structure and enzymatic activity for subtilisin suspended in various organic solvents, a very different situation is observed herein for the dissolved enzyme. Specifically, if either the alpha-helix or beta-sheet content in a given solvent is higher or lower than in water, no appreciable enzymatic catalysis is observed. Conversely, when the secondary structure of subtilisin dissolved in a given nonaqueous solvent is similar to that in water, so is the enzymatic activity. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Remarkable activation of enzymes in nonaqueous media by denaturing organic cosolvents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The rates of transesterification reactions catalyzed by the protease subtilisin Carlsberg suspended in various anhydrous solvents at 30 degrees C can be increased more than 100-fold by the addition of denaturing organic cosolvents (dimethyl sulfoxide or formamide); in water, the same cosolvents exert no enzyme activation. At 4 degrees C, the activation effect on the lyophilized protease is even higher, reaching 1000-fold. Marked enhancement of enzymatic activity in anhydrous solvents by formamide is also observed for two other enzymes, alpha-chymotrypsin and Rhizomucor miehei lipase, and is manifested in two transesterification reactions. In addition to lyophilized subtilisin, crosslinked crystals of subtilisin are also amenable to the dramatic activation by the denaturing cosolvents. In contrast, subtilisin solubilized in anhydrous media by covalent modification with poly(ethylene glycol) exhibits only modest activation. These observations are rationalized in terms of a mechanistic hypothesis based on an enhanced protein flexibility in anhydrous millieu brought about by the denaturing organic cosolvents. The latter exert their lubricating effect largely at the interfaces between enzyme molecules in a solid preparation, thus easing the flexibility constraints imposed by protein-protein contacts.

Carrier linked solute transport through biomembranes is analysed with the viewpoint of catalysis. Different from enzymes, in carriers the unchanged substrate induces optimum fit in the transition state. The enhanced intrinsic binding energy pays for the energy required of the global conformation changes, thus decreasing the activation energy barrier. This “induced transition fit” (ITF) explains several phenomena of carrier transport, e.g., high or low affinity substrate requirements for unidirectional versus exchange, external energy requirement for “low affinity” transport, the existence of side specific inhibitors to ground states of the carrier, the requirement of external energy in active transport to supplement catalytic energy in addition to generate electrochemical gradients. 相似文献

We developed an FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) methodology for quantitatively assessing the secondary structure of proteins suspended in nonaqueous media. This methodology was used to measure the percentages of alpha-helices and beta-sheets of subtilisin Carlsberg, prepared under different conditions, placed in various organic solvents. The title question was addressed with respect to some instances of markedly influencing the subtilisin activity in organic solvents reported in the literature. It is concluded that the mechanism of subtilisin activation by KCl and N-Ac-L-Phe-NH(2) present in the aqueous solution of the enzyme prior to lyophilization may be due to their preservation of the secondary structure, otherwise altered by the dehydration. Likewise, subtilisin inactivation in the protein-dissolving solvent DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is likely caused by enzyme denaturation (the loss of both alpha-helices and beta-sheets). On the other hand, some other ligands, as well as protein nondissolving organic solvents, while greatly affecting the subtilisin activity, have little effect on its secondary structure, thus ruling out the causal relationship between the two.

The catalytic efficiencies of native subtilisin, its noncovalent complex with polyacrylic acid, and the subtilisin covalently immobilized in a cryogel of polyvinyl alcohol were studied in the reaction of peptide coupling in mixtures of organic solvents with a low water content in dependence on the medium composition, reaction time, and biocatalyst concentration. It was established that, in media with a DMF content >80%, the synthase activity of modified subtilisins is higher than that of the native subtilisin. The use of N-acylpeptides with a free carboxyl group was found to be possible in organic solvents during the enzymatic synthesis catalyzed by both native and immobilized subtilisin. A series of tetrapeptide p-nitroanilides of the general formula Z-Ala-Ala-Xaa-Yaa-pNA (where Xaa is Leu, Lys, or Glu and Yaa is Phe or Asp) was obtained in the presence of immobilized enzyme in yields of 70–98% in DMF–MeCN without any activation of the carboxyl component and without protection of side ionogenic groups of polyfunctional amino acids. 相似文献

Stabilization of an oxyanion transition state is important to catalysis of peptide bond hydrolysis in all proteases. For subtilisin BPN', a bacterial serine protease, structural data suggest that two hydrogen bonds stabilize the tetrahedral-like oxyanion intermediate: one from the main chain NH of Ser221 and another from the side chain NH2 of Asn155. Molecular dynamic studies (Rao, S., N., Singh, U., C. Bush, P. A., and Kollman, P. A. (1987) Nature 328, 551-554) have indicated the gamma-hydroxyl of Thr220 may be a third hydrogen bond donor even though it is 4A away in the static x-ray structure. We have probed the role of Thr220 by replacing it with serine, cysteine, valine, or alanine by site-directed mutagenesis. These substitutions were intended to alter the size and hydrogen bonding ability of residue 220. Removal of the gamma-hydroxyl group reduced the transition state stabilization energy (delta delta GT) by 1.8-2.1 kcal/mol depending upon the substitution. By comparison, removal of the gamma-methyl group in the Thr220 to serine mutation only decreased delta GT by 0.5 kcal/mol. The gamma-hydroxyl of Thr220 is most important for catalysis, not substrate binding, because virtually all of the effects were on kcat and not KM. The role of the Thr220 hydroxyl is functionally independent from the amide NH2 of Asn155 because the free energy effects of double alanine mutants at these two positions are additive. These data indicate that a distal hydrogen bond donor, namely the hydroxyl of Thr220, plays a functionally important role in stabilizing the oxyanion transition state in subtilisin which is independent of Asn155. 相似文献

The kinetics of the immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica have been studied in organic solvents. This enzyme has been shown to be slightly affected by the water content of the organic media, and it does not seem to be subject to mass transfer limitations. On the other hand, some evidence indicates that the catalytic mechanism of reactions catalyzed by this lipase proceeds through the acyl-enzyme intermediate. Moreover, despite the fact that the immobilization support dramatically enhances the catalytic power of the enzyme, it does not interfere with the intrinsic solvent effect. Consequently, this enzyme preparation becomes optimum for studying the role played by the organic solvent in catalysis. To this end, we have measured the acylation and deacylation individual rate constants, and the binding equilibrium constant for the ester, in several organic environments. Data obtained show that the major effect of the organic solvent is on substrate binding, and that the catalytic steps are almost unaffected by the solvent, indicating the desolvation of the transition state. However, the strong decrease in binding for hydrophilic solvents such as THF and dioxane, compared to the rest of solvents, cannot be easily explained by means of thermodynamic arguments (desolvation of the ester substrate). For this reason, data have been considered as an indication of the existence of an unknown step in the catalytic pathway occurring prior to formation of the acyl-enzyme intermediate. 相似文献

Steady-state kinetic analysis has been used to confirm the catalytic mechanism of lyophilized subtilisin suspended in a variety of organic solvents. Specifically, this article demonstrates that partial reactions can occur between subtilisin and ester substrates in organic solvents. Partitioning of common intermediates between competing acceptors at a constant ratio of products has also been described. The decomposition of a common intermediate formed from different substrates at the same rate is also further evidence of an acyl-enzyme mechanism for subtilisin suspended in anhydrous solvents. Partitioning of a common intermediate to give two products at a constant total rate, and saturation kinetics at varying substrate concentrations, complete a kinetic investigation of the enzyme mechanism. All the data generated support the formation of a stable acyl enzyme during the transesterification reaction catalzyed by subtilisin in the solvents used. 相似文献

The activity and stability of native subtilisin Karlsberg and subtilisin 72 and their complexes with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in organic solvents were studied. The kinetic constants of the hydrolysis of specific chromogenic peptide substrates Z- ALA-Ala-Leu-pNA and Glp-Ala-Ala-Leu-pNA by the subtilisins were determined. It was found that the subtilisin Karlsberg complex with SDS in anhydrous organic solvents is an effective catalyst of peptide synthesis with multifunctional amino acids in positions P1 and P'1 (Glu, Arg, and Asp) containing unprotected side ionogenic groups. 相似文献

Subtilisin Carlsberg, an alkaline protease from Bacillus licheniformis, was modified with polyoxyethylene (PEG) or aerosol-OT (AOT), and the solubility, conformation, and catalytic activity of the modified subtilisins in some organic media were compared under the same conditions. The solubility of modified subtilisins depended on the solubility of the modifier. On the other hand, the conformational changes depended on the solubility, rather than the property, of the modifier. When the modified subtilisin was dissolved in water-miscible polar solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran, significant conformational changes occurred. When modified subtilisin was dissolved in water-immiscible organic solvents, such as isooctane and benzene, the solvent did not induce significant conformational changes. The catalytic activity in the transesterification reaction of the N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine ethylester of the modified subtilisin in organic solvents was higher than that of native subtilisin. The high activity of modified subtilisin was thought to be due to a homogeneous reaction by the dissolved enzymes. 相似文献

We showed that modified proteases could catalyze synthesis of a wide variety of peptides of various lengths and structures both in solution and on solid phase in organic solvents. The following modified proteases were studied as catalysts for enzymatic peptide synthesis in polar organic solvents (acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, and ethanol): pepsin sorbed on celite, a noncovalent complex of subtilisin with sodium dodecylsulfate, and subtilisin or thermolysin covalently immobilized on a cryogel of polyvinyl alcohol. The use of the noncovalent complex of subtilisin with sodium dodecylsulfate and immobilized subtilisin is especially promising for the segment condensation of peptide fragments containing residues of trifunctional amino acids with unprotected ionogenic groups in side chains, such as Lys, Arg, His, Glu, and Asp. 相似文献

Inhibitor-induced enzyme activation in organic solvents 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The enzymatic activity of the protease subtilisin in anhydrous organic solvents can be dramatically increased by pretreating the enzyme before it is placed in the nonaqueous medium. For instance, lyophilization of subtilisin from aqueous solution containing competitive inhibitors (followed by their removal) created an enzyme which was up to 100 times more active than the enzyme lyophilized in the absence of such ligands. This phenomenon of ligand-induced "enzyme memory" also extends to the stability, affinity, and substrate specificity of subtilisin in organic solvents. 相似文献

Carrier-linked transport through biomembranes is treated under the view of catalysis. As in enzymes, substrate-protein interaction yields catalytic energy in overcoming the activation barrier. At variance with enzymes, catalytic energy is concentrated on structural changes of the carrier rather than on the substrate destabilization for facilitating the global protein rearrangements during transport. A transition state is invoked in which the binding site assumes the best fit to the substrate, whereas in the two ground (internal and external) states, the fit is poor. The maximum binding energy released in the transition state provides catalytic energy to enable the large carrier protein transformations associated with transport. This "induced transition fit" (ITF) of carrier catalysis provides a framework of rules, concerning specificity, unidirectional versus exchange type transport, directing inhibitors to the ground state instead of the transition state, and excluding simultaneous chemical and transport catalysis (vectorial group translocation). The possible role of external energy sources (ATP and Deltapsi) in supplementing the catalytic energy is elucidated. The analysis of the structure-function relationship based on new carrier structures may be challenged to account for the workings of the ITF. 相似文献
