Purification and characterization of the acyl carrier protein of the Streptomyces glaucescens tetracenomycin C polyketide synthase.

The acyl carrier protein (ACP) of the tetracenomycin C polyketide synthase, encoded by the tcmM gene, has been expressed in both Streptomyces glaucescens and Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Expression of the tcmM gene in E. coli results mainly in the TcmM apo-ACP, whereas expression in S. glaucescens yields solely the holo-ACP. The purified holo-TcmM is active in a malonyl coenzyme A:ACP transacylase assay and is labeled by radioactive beta-alanine, confirming that it carries a 4'-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group.

短葶飞蓬黄酮及咖啡酸酯的含量与土壤氮供应量的关系

通过对短葶飞蓬(Erigeron breviscapus)不同产地的44个种群植株的总黄酮、灯盏乙素和总咖啡酸酯含量与产地土壤全氮(N)和速效N含量的相关分析, 探讨了产地间土壤N含量变化在药用植物短葶飞蓬植株次生代谢有效成分含量变化中的作用机制。结果显示: 土壤全N含量与种群植株中总黄酮含量呈显著的负相关(r=-0.391, p＜0.01), 而与总咖啡酸酯和灯盏乙素关系不显著; 土壤速效N含量与种群植株中总黄酮(r=-0.528, p＜0.01)、灯盏乙素(r=-0.490, p＜0.01)和总咖啡酸酯含量(r=-0.471, p＜0.01)都表现出更高的极显著负相关关系。全部44个种群中, 有效N供应量变化只能解释次生代谢产物含量的17%~30%的变化。非石灰土壤与石灰土壤的种群分开进行线性回归, 可解释总黄酮含量产地间约80%的变化, 以及灯盏乙素和总咖啡酸酯含量约60%的变化。植株总黄酮、灯盏乙素和总咖啡酸酯含量都与植株含N量存在显著的负相关关系。研究表明: 土壤丰富的有效N供应不利于黄酮和咖啡酸酯的合成积累, 与“碳素/营养平衡假说”的预测一致; 土壤有效N对植物次生代谢产物的影响会受到植物体内外因素的影响。不同产地的短葶飞蓬的黄酮等酚类次生代谢产物含量的差异, 可能是产地间不同的土壤N供应量和其他生态因子及遗传变异共同作用的结果。

Studies on the efficiency of different extraction procedures on the anti microbial activity of selected medicinal plants

Many doubts still persist even today when it comes to selection of the solvents for extracting the active constituents from various Indian medicinal plants. This study was aimed at assessing and establishing the best solvent for extracting the active constituents from 10 plant extracts. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to separate and establish the active constituents present in each of the medicinal plants. Active constituents from each plant were extracted by using three different solvent systems namely diethyl ether, chloroform and hexane and were tested against three species of gram negative and three species of gram positive bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aureginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Aeromonas hydrophila, Staphylococcus aereus, Bacillus cereus) by means of agar well diffusion assay. Studies on the antioxidant activity studies were also carried out for these plant extracts by using Diphenylpicryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) method. For the antimicrobial activity, the study revealed that among the selected plants, Azadiracta indica, Pongamia pinnata, Aloe barbadensis had the maximum antibacterial activity. Among the extraction procedures diethyl ether was found to be the best solvent that could be used for the extraction procedure. On the antioxidant activity part, Coleus amboinicus and Calotropis procera were found to have high antioxidant activity of 91.64% and 88.72% respectively and the further results are reported and discussed.

Identification of two histidines as copper ligands in Streptomyces glaucescens tyrosinase

The physiochemical properties of wild type and two mutants of Streptomyces glaucescens tyrosinase are reported. The native enzyme contains two coppers at the active site which are EPR nondetectable. The two coppers react stoichiometrically with one hydrogen peroxide molecule giving rise to oxytyrosinase. Its optical features are similar to those reported earlier for a molluscan hemocyanin. The two mutants in which histidine-62 and -189 were changed to asparagine by site-directed mutagenesis have lost their enzymatic activity and their ability to bind oxygen and contain only one copper ion which is fully EPR detectable. The EPR parameters indicate that the remaining copper is in a tetragonally distorted ligand environment. These data are in agreement with His-62 and His-189 serving as copper ligands in S. glaucescens tyrosinase.     

Herbal remedies traditionally used against malaria in Ghana: bioassay-guided fractionation of Microglossa pyrifolia (Asteraceae)

Different extracts from 11 West African plants traditionally used against malaria in Ghana were tested against both the chloroquine-sensitive strain PoW and the chloroquine-resistant clone Dd2 of Plasmodium falciparum. Due to the promising in vitro activity of the lipophilic extract [IC50: 10.5 microg/ml (PoW); 13.1 microg/ml (Dd2)], Microglossa pyrifolia (Lam.) Kuntze (Asteraceae) was chosen for further phytochemical investigation. From active fractions 13 compounds were isolated; their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods. 1-Acetyl-6E-geranylgeraniol-19-oic acid and sinapyl diangelate represent new natural compounds. The two diterpenes E-phytol [IC50: 8.5 microM (PoW); 11.5 microM (Dd2)], and 6E-geranylgeraniol-19-oic acid [IC50: 12.9 microM (PoW); 15.6 microM (Dd2)] proved to be the most active constituents in our test system.

Isolation and characterization of brassinosteroids from immature seeds of Camellia sinensis (O) Kuntze

Brassinosteroids play an important role in growth and development of plants. They have been reported universally in all the plants. The present study deals with the presence of these compounds in immature tea seeds. Five brassinosteroids, i.e. 6-deoxo-28-norcathasterone, 6-deoxo-28-norteasterone, 3-dehydro-6-deoxo-28-norteasterone, 6-deoxo-28-nortyphasterol and 6-deoxo-28-norcastasterone have been isolated and identified by GC–MS. The identified brassinosteroids and their derivatives are active constituents of late C-6 oxidation pathway, thereby suggesting the biosynthesis of brassinosteroids in tea seeds by late C-6 oxidation pathway.
