The use of crown ethers for a phase transfer-catalyzed synthesis of heteroaromatic glycosides of N-acetylglucosamine was studied. The solid-liquid system and catalysis by 15-crown-5 were found to provide for both the 100% conversion of α-D-glucosaminyl chloride peracetate and a high reaction rate. The interaction of α-D-glucosaminyl chloride peracetate and oxadiazole and triazole mercapto derivatives capable of thiol-thione tautomerism carried out at room temperature in acetonitrile in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate and crown ethers was shown to lead to both S- and N-glucosides. The structures of the compounds synthesized were confirmed by X-ray analysis and 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy. 相似文献

Four stereoisomers of 2-norbornyl-N–n-butylcarbamates are characterized as the pseudo substrate inhibitors of cholesterol esterase. Cholesterol esterase shows
enantioselective inhibition for enantiomers of exo- and endo-2-norbornyl-N–n-butylcarbamates. For the inhibitions by (R)-(+)- and (S)-(−)-exo-2-norbornyl-N–n-butylcarbamates, the R-enantiomer is 6.8 times more potent than the S-enantiomer. For the inhibitions by (R)-(+)- and (S)-(−)-endo-2-norbornyl-N–n-butyl-carbamates, the S-enantiomer is 4.6 times more potent than the R-enantiomer. The enzyme-inhibitor complex models have been proposed to explain these different enantioselectivities. 相似文献

The following glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP) were synthesized: β-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl MDP, β-2-(adamant-1-yl)ethyl MDP, β-2,2-diphenylethyl MDP, and β-2-(p-biphenyl) ethyl MDP. The starting peracetylated β-N-acetylglucosaminides were prepared by the oxazoline method. They were converted into 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetyl-D-muramic acids, which were coupled with L-Ala-D-Glu(NH2)OBn. The target glycopeptides were obtained after their deprotection. The stimulation of the anti-infection resistance of mice against Staphylococcus aureus by the MDP glycosides was studied. 相似文献

Symmetric secondary linear alcohols were proposed as aglycones for the synthesis of lipophilic glycosides of β-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). Pentadecan-8-ol, nonadecan-10-ol, and tricosan-12-ol were glycosylated by the oxazoline method. Based on the corresponding glucosaminides, alkyl β-glycosides of 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetylmuramic acid were synthesized and coupled with the dipeptide. Deprotection of isopropylidene groups by acidic hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenolysis of benzyl esters resulted in the target muramyldipeptide glycosides. Nonadecan-10-yl and tricosan-12-yl β-MDPs at doses 2 μg/mice most effectively stimulated antibacterial resistance in mice against Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast to the previously synthesized undecan-6-yl β-MDP, pentadecan-8-yl, nonadecan-10-yl, and tricosan-12-yl β-MDPs demonstrated direct cytotoxicity toward tumor cells K-562 and blood mononuclear cells. 相似文献

Background
N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is widely used as a valuable pharmacological agent and a functional food additive. The traditional chemical process for GlcNAc production has some problems such as high production cost, low yield, and acidic pollution. Hence, to identify a novel chitinase that is suitable for bioconversion of chitin to GlcNAc is of great value.Results
A novel chitinase gene (PbChi74) from Paenibacillus barengoltzii was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as an intracellular soluble protein. The gene has an open reading frame (ORF) of 2,163 bp encoding 720 amino acids. The recombinant chitinase (PbChi74) was purified to apparent homogeneity with a purification fold of 2.2 and a recovery yield of 57.9%. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 74.6 kDa and 74.3 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectively. PbChi74 displayed an acidic pH optimum of 4.5 and a temperature optimum of 65°C. The enzyme showed high activity toward colloidal chitin, glycol chitin, N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides, and p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl β-glucosaminide. PbChi74 hydrolyzed colloidal chitin to yield N- acetyl chitobiose [(GlcNAc)2] at the initial stage, which was further converted to its monomer N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), suggesting that it is an exochitinase with β-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. The purified PbChi74 coupled with RmNAG (β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Rhizomucor miehei) was used to convert colloidal chitin to GlcNAc, and GlcNAc was the sole end product at a concentration of 27.8 mg mL-1 with a conversion yield of 92.6%. These results suggest that PbChi74 may have great potential in chitin conversion.Conclusions
The excellent thermostability and hydrolytic properties may give the exochitinase great potential in GlcNAc production from chitin. This is the first report on an exochitinase with N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase activity from Paenibacillus species.7.
Factors and ways in which macromolecules influence the mutation process are considered. An antimutagenic effect is demonstrated in a study of the combined influence of lectins and the alkylating agent N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) on mutagenesis in Chinese hamster cells. Thus, in different schemes of treatment of cells with albumin and MNNG, the experimental frequency of mutations induced by the two agents was statistically reliably lower than the theoretically expected level for their independent combined action. The possibility that there exist common targets and mechanisms through which different types of mutagenic agents act on the cell DNA is discussed. 相似文献

Background
The presence of β-lactamases in Y. enterocolitica has been reported to vary with serovars, biovars and geographical origin of the isolates. An understanding of the β-lactamases in other related species is important for an overall perception of antibiotic resistance in yersiniae. The objective of this work was to study the characteristics of β-lactamases and their genes in strains of Y. intermedia and Y. frederiksenii, isolated from clinical and non-clinical sources in India. 相似文献9.

Endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase catalyzes the release of Galβ1-3GalNAc from the core 1-type O-glycan (Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr) of mucin glycoproteins and synthetic p-nitrophenyl (pNP) α-linked substrates. Here, we report the enzymatic syntheses of core 1 disaccharide-containing glycopeptides using the
transglycosylation activity of endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (EngBF) from Bifidobacterium longum. The enzyme directly transferred Galβ1-3GalNAc to serine or threonine residues of bioactive peptides such as PAMP-12, bradykinin,
peptide-T and MUC1a when Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-pNP was used as a donor substrate. The enzyme was also found to catalyze the reverse-hydrolysis reaction. EngBF synthesized
the core 1 disaccharide-containing oligosaccharides when the enzyme was incubated with either glucose or lactose and Galβ1-3GalNAc
prepared from porcine gastric mucin using bifidobacterial cells expressing endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. Synthesized oligosaccharides are promising prebiotics for bifidobacteria. 相似文献

A set of filamentous fungi (42 strains) was screened for alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase activity, and a series of inducers and different cultivation conditions were tested. Enzyme production by the best producer Aspergillus niger CCIM K2 was optimized and scaled up. alpha-N-Acetylgalactosaminidase was purified to apparent homogeneity by cation exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and chromatofocusing, and basic biochemical data of the enzyme were determined: The native molecular weight was estimated by gel filtration to be approximately 440 kDa, the molecular weight of the subunit was determined to be 76 kDa and the pI = 4.8. The K (M) was 0.73 mmol/l for o-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (o-NP-alpha-GalNAc), and optimum enzyme activity was achieved at pH 1.8 and 55 degrees C. This alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase is a retaining-type glycosidase, and it was N-deglycosylated without any loss of activity. 相似文献

Different lines of cell suspension cultures of Taxus × media Rehd. and Taxus floridana Nutt. were cryopreserved with a two-step freezing method using a simple and inexpensive freezing container instead of a programmable
freezer. Four to seven days old suspension cell cultures were precultured in growth medium supplemented with 0.5 M mannitol
for 2 d. The medium was then replaced with cryoprotectant solution (1 M sucrose, 0.5 M glycerol and 0.5 M dimethylsulfoxide)
and the cells incubated on ice for 1 h. Before being plunged into liquid nitrogen, cells were frozen with a cooling rate of
approximately −1 °C per min to −80 °C. The highest post-thaw cell viability was 90 %. The recovery was line dependent. The
cryopreservation procedure did not alter the nuclear DNA content of the cell lines. The results indicate that cryopreservation
of Taxus cell suspension cultures using inexpensive freezing container is possible. 相似文献

We undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. destructor in honey bee colonies, under natural conditions. Drone and worker brood combs were sampled from 11 colonies of Apis mellifera. A Pearson correlation test and a Tukey test were used to determine whether mite reproduction rate varied with brood cell
width. Generalized additive model analysis showed that infestation rate increased positively and linearly with the width of
worker and drone cells. The reproduction rate for viable mother mites was 0.96 viable female descendants per original invading
female. No significant correlation was observed between brood cell width and number of offspring of V. destructor. Infertile mother mites were more frequent in narrower brood cells. 相似文献

The lipase Lip2 of the edible basidiomycete, Pleurotus sapidus, is an extracellular enzyme capable of hydrolysing xanthophyll esters with high efficiency. The gene encoding Lip2 was expressed
in Escherichia coli TOP10 using the gene III signal sequence to accumulate proteins in the periplasmatic space. The heterologous expression under
control of the araBAD promoter led to the high level production of recombinant protein, mainly as inclusion bodies, but partially
in a soluble and active form. A fusion with a C-terminal His tag was used for purification and immunochemical detection of
the target protein. This is the first example of a heterologous expression and periplasmatic accumulation of a catalytically
active lipase from a basidiomycete fungus. 相似文献

The two freshwater sponges Ephydatia fluviatilis and Ephydatia mülleri belong to the widespread Spongillidae family. Their morphological tracts are very similar and can be distinguished mainly
on the basis of their gemmuloscleres. However, when gemmules are absent it is essential to have an unambiguous species attribution
for a population genetic study based on fresh tissues and historical collections. This article reports a simple Polymerase
Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis, applied to DNA extracted from both gemmules and
fresh tissues in order to discriminate between the two congeneric E. fluviatilis and E. mülleri. Such a biomolecular method is based on the discriminative enzymes’ digestion of each of the three amplified fragments 5.8S-ITS2-28S,
D3 domain of the 28S subunit and COI. Two restriction enzymes were tested for a 620–642 bp fragment of 5.8S-ITS2-28S and for
a 342 bp fragment of the D3 domain of the 28S, one restriction enzyme was tested for a 681 bp fragment codifying for COI.
Obtained digestion patterns were diagnostic for each of the two species, providing a relatively simple, fast and cheap method
for species attribution compared to sequencing.

Homologs of the β-1,3-galactosyl-N-acetylhexosamine phosphorylase (GalHexNAcP) gene (gnpA) were cloned from the genomic DNA of Propionibacterium acnes JCM6425 and P. acnes JCM6473, showing 99.9% and 97.9% nucleotide sequence identity, respectively, with the ppa0083 gene from the genome-sequenced P. acnes KPA171202. No gnpA gene was detected in the genomic DNA of type strain P. acnes ATCC25746. The recombinant enzyme from P. acnes JCM6425 (GnpA) showed approximately 70 times higher specific activity of phosphorolysis on galacto-N-biose (Galβ1→3GalNAc, GNB) than that on lacto-N-biose I (Galβ1→3GlcNAc). K
m value for GnpA on GNB was high, but GnpA did not exhibit activity on any derivatives of GNB examined. These results indicate
that GnpA is GalHexNAcP which should be classified as galacto-N-biose phosphorylase. The large k
cat value of GnpA on GalNAc suggests that GnpA would be a useful catalyst for the synthesis of GNB. 相似文献

Much attention has been focused on the study of lactoferrin at the protein or nucleotide level in mice, humans, and cattle, but little is known about it in goats. The goat LF gene from 5' UTR to exon 17 was amplified, and the variation of g.7605C→T in 10 Chinese indigenous goat breeds was analyzed. Among the three ruminant species (cattle, sheep, and goats), the intron-exon distribution pattern was similar, and all the exons had the same length, but the length of introns varied greatly due to insertions or deletions. The frequency of allele T at g.7605C→T (50.12%) was a little higher than that of allele C (49.88%), and the genotype distribution differed greatly between goat populations. The g.7605C→T site showed higher genetic diversity in goat populations. The genetic differentiation was 0.0783, and gene flow was 2.9433 among the 10 Chinese indigenous goat populations. 相似文献

We investigated the spatial distribution and taxonomic identity of mycorrhizal fungi colonizing the root systems of two threatened
Cephalanthera species, C. falcata and C. erecta, in naturally regenerated forests. Peloton formation was observed in both plant species, confirming the existence of orchid
mycorrhizas. For C. falcata, mycorrhization was significantly different among individuals, ranging from 14 to 63%, and no significant difference among
C. erecta individuals was detected (57–68%). Mycorrhization among three growth directions of roots and between orchid species was not
significantly different. The spatial distribution of mycorrhizas in both orchids showed significant differences, being most
frequent at an apical position. Based on DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, we inferred that the families Thelephoraceae
and Sebacinaceae were mycobionts for C. falcata and Thelephoraceae for C. erecta. Our findings indicated that mycorrhizal colonization occurs at a distal position from the base of these orchid root systems
and that mycorrhizal fungi are restricted to few ectomycorrhizal fungal families. 相似文献

The stored-product mites are the most abundant and frequent group of pests living on the stored food products in Europe. They endanger public health since they produce allergens and transmit mycotoxin-producing fungi. Novel acaricidal compounds with inhibitory effects on the digestive enzymes of arthropods are a safe alternative to the traditional neurotoxic pesticides used for control of the stored-product pests. In this work, we explored the properties of acarbose, the low molecular weight inhibitor of -amylases (AI), as a novel acaricide candidate for protection of the stored products from infestation by Acarus siro (Acari: Acaridae). In vitro analysis revealed that AI blocked efficiently the enzymatic activity of digestive amylases of A. siro, and decreased the physiological capacity of mites gut in utilizing a starch component of grain flour. In vivo experiments showed that AI suppressed the population growth of A. siro. The mites were kept for three weeks on experimental diet enriched by AI in concentration range of 0.005 to 0.25%. Population growth of A. siro was negatively correlated with the content of AI in the treated diet with a half-population dose of 0.125%. The suppressive effect of AIs on stored-product mites is discussed in the context of their potential application in GMO crops 相似文献
