Microbial transformation of ginsenoside Rb1 by Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Of 49 microbial strains screened for their capabilities to transform ginsenoside Rb1, Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata produced four key metabolites: 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]- 20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (1), 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d- glucopyranosyl]-20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ol (2), 3-O-[-d-gluco- pyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (3), and 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (4), identified by TOF-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data. Metabolites 1, 3 and 4 were from the incubation with R. stolonifer, and 1 and 2 from the incubation with C. lunata. Compound 2 was identified as a new compound. 相似文献

Incubation of synthetic Man\1-4GlcNAc-OMe, GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, and GlcNAc1-4GlcNac-OMe with CMP-Neu5Ac and rat liver Gal1-4GlcNAc (2-6)-sialyltransferase resulted in the formation of Neu5Ac2-6Man1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe and Neu5Ac2-6GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, respectively. Under conditions which led to quantitative conversion of Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt into Neu5Ac2-6Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt, the aforementioned products were obtained in yields of 4%, 48%, 16% and 8%, respectively. HPLC on Partisil 10 SAX was used to isolate the various sialyltrisaccharides, and identification was carried out using 1- and 2-dimensional 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy.Abbreviations 2D

The genes were cloned for the two apoprotein subunits, and ,of phycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima = Arthrospiramaxima) strain F3. The - and -subunit gene-coding regionscontain 489 bp and 519 bp, respectively. The -subunit gene is upstreamfrom the -subunit gene, with a 111-bp segment separating them.Similarities between the -subunits of S. maxima and nine othercyanobacteria were between 58% and 99%, as were those between the -subunits. The maximum similarity between the - and -subunits from S. maxima was 27%. 相似文献

Summary A mutant strain of Rhodococcus equi accumulates three metabolites from the androst-4-ene-3,17-dione or from its degradation intermediate, 3a-H-4(3'-propionic acid)-7a-methylhexahydro-1,5-indanedione (MEPHIP). These three metabolites are: 3a-H-4a(3'-propionic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone--lactone (HIL); 3a-H-4(3'-trans acrylic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone (2'-5-hydroxy-MEPHIP); and 3a-H-4(3'-hydroxy-3'-propionic acid)-5-hydroxy-7a-methylhexahydro-1-indanone (3'-hydroxy-HIL). The behaviour of this mutant allows us to propose a pathway for degradation of the intermediates, methylperhydroindanone propionates. However, during this degradation, the side-chain propionate was eliminated by a-oxidation mechanism.

Summary In a previous paper, two types of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, namely cGMP dependent G-kinase and cAMP dependent A-kinase, in silkworm eggs has been reported (Takahashi et al. 1975; Takahashi 1976). One of these, G-kinase, has now been purified 2400-fold by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on hydroxylapatite, DEAE cellulose, and gel filtration.Some of the properties of the enzyme are described. The enzyme is highly dependent on cGMP; it is strongly inhibited by GTP in a noncompetitive manner not only for ATP but also for cGMP. GTP was found to be highly inhibitory on G-kinases from various tissues of the silkworm, but did not inhibit the A-kinase.Incubation of the egg extract with [-32P]ATP and Mg2+ led to the formation of three major32P-labelled proteins, with molecular weights of 42.000, 70.000 and 180.000 as analyzed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two of them corresponded to the subunits of vitellin.The silkworm vitellin was effectively phosphorylated both by the highly purified G-kinase and by the A-kinase. It is concluded that the G-kinase is involved in the phosphorylation of vitellin in developing silkworm eggs.Abbreviations

Summary As has been shown previously, RNA polymerase subunit ts-mutation rpoC1 results in an overproduction of RNA polymerase subunits at nonpermissive temperature. The mutant enzyme shows low activity in vitro and a sedimentation coefficient 9S which is characteristic of immature core polymerase. In this paper we describe a mutation designated opr1 which suppresses RNA polymerase subunit overproduction. The mutation was found among Ts+ revertants of the Ts double mutant carrying a rpoC1 mutation and a rif-r rpo B251 mutation. Opr1 is closely linked to the original rpo mutations and shows complete trans-dominance. Although opr1 seems to affect RNA polymerase, it does not suppress the accumulation of immature 9S RNA polymerase and does not restore the activity of the RpoC1 mutant enzyme. This and other results of a comparison of strains carrying different combinations of rpoC1, rpoB251 and opr1 mutations suggest that neither inhibition of total RNA and protein synthesis, nor the low RNA polymerase activity in vitro, nor the apparent defects in enzyme maturation, nor the enzyme degradation observed at 42°C are responsible for the overproduction in RpoC1 strains. 相似文献

Summary The ultrastructural localization of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPase) in bovine Leydig cells has been studied and compared with the pattern of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase distribution in these cells. Using -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (-NADP+) as substrate, a marked staining is observed in the intermediate Golgi saccules with some focal extension to the trans aspect. Cisternae on the cis side and associated vesicles yielded only slightly positive reactions. The pattern of NADPase localization is clearly different from that of TPPase which consistently stains only the trans Golgi elements. The specifity of NADPase for its substrate, -NADP+, was clearly demonstrated by using substrates modified in either the nicotinamide region e.g. -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (-NADP+), -thionicotinamide adenine dinuclcotide phosphate (Thio-NADP+), in the attachment site of the monoester phosphate group to the molecule (e.g. 2 monophospho-adenosine 5-diphosphoribose (ATP-ribose) or adenosine-5-monophosphate (5AMP). With these substrates only weak or negative reactions were obtained in the Golgi apparatus of the bovine Leydig cell. 相似文献

-Glucans were prepared from Agaricus blazei Murill by repeated extraction with hot water. The average molecular weights of -glucans were 30–50 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. Oligosaccharides (AO), derived from hydrolyzing -glucans with an endo--(16)-glucanase from Bacillus megaterium, were mainly di- and tri-saccharides. Though -glucans and AO both showed anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertriglyceridemic, anti-hypercholesterolemic, and anti-arteriosclerotic activity indicating overall anti-diabetic activity in diabetic rats, AO had about twice the activity of -glucans with respect to anti-diabetic activity. 相似文献

We have analyzed the hemoglobins of five individual trout from the Ohrid Lake (Salmo L. typicus) by electrophoretic methods, by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and by limited structural analyses. The two major classes of hemoglobin are type I (35% of total) and type IV (65%). Type IV is the major oxygen-transporting hemoglobin; it consists of three types of chain (in about equal quantities) and three types of chain (one major and two minor types). Several structural differences have been observed between these three (IV) chains and between the three (IV) chains, suggesting a complex genetic system governing the synthesis of these proteins. Moreover, a few amino acid substitutions occur at positions involved in contacts between chains, which suggests that differences in oxygen affinity may exist between these various type IV hemoglobins. Type I hemoglobin is less complex because it contains one type of chain and two chains; the latter two differ in numerous positions, suggesting duplications of the (I)-globin gene. The and chains of type I hemoglobin differ considerably from the and chains of type IV hemoglobin, indicating the existence of (I)- and (I)-globin genes separate from the (IV)- and (IV)- globin genes.This study was supported in part by the Yugoslav-American Joint Funds, pp 812 (to G.D.E.), and by United States Public Health Service Research Grant HLB-05168 (to T.H.J.H.). 相似文献

Summary Simultaneous overproduction of intracellular -glucosidase and extracellular endoglucanase was attempted by constructing two artificial operon systems comprising the -glucosidase-endoglucanase gene(E) or the endoglucanase--glucosidase gene(E) under the control of a strong engineered promoter, BJ27U88 and expressing them in Bacillus subtilis DB104. Two artificial operon systems contained 30 bp or 5 bp gap between the termination codon of the upstream gene and the SD sequence of the downstream gene, respectively. These operon systems were expressed well in B. subtilis and overproduced the -glucosidase cell extract as well as the endoglucanase supernatant. The level of expression in the operon system was almost the same as that in a single expression system. 相似文献

A rapid procedure is described for the separation of CMP-sialic acid:lactosylceramide sialyltransferase reaction components using Sep Pak C18 cartridges. The quantitative separation of the more polar nucleotide sugar, CMP-sialic acid, and its free acid from the less polar GM3-ganglioside is simple and rapid relative to previously described methods. Recovery of GM3 is optimized by the addition of phosphatidylcholine to the reaction mixture prior to the chromatographic step. Using rat liver Golgi membranes as a source of CMP-sialic acid: lactosylceramide sialyltransferase activity (GM3 synthase; ST-1), the transfer of [14C] sialic acid from CMP-[14C] sialic acid to lactosylceramide can be quantified by this assay. The procedure is reliable and may be applicable to the isolation of ganglioside products in otherin vitro glycosyltransferase assays.Abbreviations GM3

Summary On t.l.c. plates 125I-cholera toxin binds to a disialoganglioside tentatively identified as GDlb with about 10 times less capacity than to ganglioside GM1. Binding of labeled toxin to both gangliosides was abolished in presence of excess amounts of unlabeled B subunit. Ganglioside extracts from human or pig intestinal mucosa showed toxin binding to gangliosides GM1 and GD1b. In ganglioside-containing lipid monolayers the penetration of the toxin was independent of the ganglioside binding capacity.Abbreviations GM2

We succeeded in isolating a novel cDNA involved in astaxanthin biosynthesis from the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, by an expression cloning method using an Escherichia coli transformant as a host that synthesizes -carotene due to the Erwinia uredovora carotenoid biosynthesis genes. The cloned cDNA was shown to encode a novel enzyme, -carotene ketolase (-carotene oxygenase), which converted -carotene to canthaxanthin via echinenone, through chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis of the pigments accumulated in an E. coli transformant. This indicates that the encoded enzyme is responsible for the direct conversion of methylene to keto groups, a mechanism that usually requires two different enzymatic reactions proceeding via a hydroxy intermediate. Northern blot analysis showed that the mRNA was synthesized only in the cyst cells of H. pluvialis. E. coli carrying the H. pluvialis cDNA and the E. uredovora genes required for zeaxanthin biosynthesis was also found to synthesize astaxanthin (3S, 3S), which was identified after purification by a variety of spectroscopic methods. 相似文献

Summary The specificity analysis of a CD3+, WT31+, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clone (CTL 49), isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of a melanoma patient (no. 665) after mixed lymphocyte culture with an HLA-A2+ allogeneic lymphoblastoid cell line (VSKB-LCL), revealed that CTL 49 could lyse, in addition to HLA-A2+ lines, autologous HLA-A2– melanoma (Me665/2) and K562 targets. Killing of VSKB-LCL, but not of Me665/2, could be inhibited by anti-CD3 and by anti-HLA-A2 antibodies or by modulation of the CD3 complex. Cold-target competition studies showed that K562, but not VSKB-LCL, could compete with Me665/2 for lysis by CTL 49. However, unlike K562, Me665/2 could be lysed by CTL 49 in a Ca2+-independent fashion in 4 h and 18 h assays. CTL 49 expressed mRNA specific for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and, to a lesser extent, for lymphotoxin (TNF). Exposure of the clone to anti-CD3 antibodies induced the expression of interferon(IFN)--specific and the up-regulation of TNF- and TNF-specific mRNA. Antibodies to TNF, TNF and IFN reduced the lysis of Me665/2, but not of K562, by CTL 49 in 18-h cytotoxic assays. Antibodies to TNF and to IFN almost completely inhibited the lysis seen on Me665/2 (but not on K562), in 96-h assays, by supernatants isolated from VSKB-LCL- or anti-CD3-stimulated CTL 49 cells. Taken together, these data indicate that major-histocompatibility-complex-independent lysis of autologous tumor cells and of natural killer reference targets by the same alloreactive T cell clone are activities related at the level of target recognition but distinct at the level of the lytic hit. Thus, efficient lysis of autologous tumor cells results from a complex mechanism based upon direct effector-target interaction as well as on cytokine-mediated cytolytic effects. 相似文献

The degradation of the phenylcoumaran substructure model compound methyl dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol by the white-rot wood decay fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was investigated using culture conditions optimized for lignin oxidation. Initial attack was in the cinnamyl alcohol side chain, which was oxidized to a glycerol structure. This was subsequently converted by loss of the two terminal carbon atoms, C and C, to yield a C-aldehyde structure, which was further oxidized to the C-acid compound. The next detected intermediate, a phenylcoumarone, was produced by double bond formation between C and C, and oxidation of the C-alcohol to an aldehyde group. Further oxidation of C to an acid yielded the next intermediate. The final identified degradation product was veratric acid. No products from the 5-substituted aromatic ring, and no phenolic products, were found. The initial glycerol-containing intermediate was a mixture of the threo and erythro forms, and no optical activity could be found, suggesting that its formation might have involved nonstereospecific C-C epoxidation followed by non-enzymatic hydrolysis of the epoxide.Abbreviations TLC

We have established a strain of transgenic mice in which the HLA-DRA gene was integrated into the X-chromosome and the xenogeneic mixed isotype molecule, DREb, was expressed in a cell type-specific manner, although the transgenic DRA gene contained only 268 base pairs of the 5-flanking region. The DREb molecules expressed in the transgenic mice functioned as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II to select T-cell repertoire, and to stimulate mixed lymphocyte reaction. In female transgenic mice homozygous for HLA-DRA (DR-B6-F-homo) and male transgenic mice (DR-B6-M), DREb molecules were expressed in almost all of the MHC class II Ab-positive cells. In contrast, the expression of DREb molecules in female transgenic mice hemizygous for HLA-DRA (DR-B6-F-hemi) was found only in part of the Ab positive cells, and the proportion of cells expressing the DREb molecules varied due to random inactivation of one of the X-chromosomes. Clonal deletions of the T cells and mature thymocytes bearing Tcrb-V5 and Tcrb-V11, which are eliminated from the peripheral repertoire in mice expressing self-superantigen and MHC class II E molecules, were incomplete in DR-B6-F-hemi as compared with those in DR-B6-F-homo, and were correlated with the proportion of DREb-positive spleen cells. These observations suggested that the number of bone marrow-derived cells expressing DREb molecules was critical for clonal deletions of Tcrb-V5+ and Tcrb-V11+ T cells in the thymus. 相似文献

Three hemoglobin components in carp designated CI, CII, and CIII, were isolated by DEAE-Toyopearl ion-exchange chromatography. Constituent globin chains, 1, 2, 1 and 2, were analyzed by urea-Triton acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isolated by high performance liquid chromatography with a reversed-phase column. Tryptic peptide mapping indicated that the -globin chains of the three hemoglobin components have slightly different structures. In addition, N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis indicated that the 1-globin chain has a primary structure different from that of the 2-chain. A series of hybridization experiments between isolated hemoglobins, together with such structural properties of globin chains, suggested that the three hemoglobins have the following compositions: CI (1 2

Unravelling the factors that contribute to the formation and the stability of -sheet structure in peptides is a subject of great current interest. A -hairpin, the smallest -sheet motif, consists of two antiparallel hydrogen-bonded -strands linked by a loop region. We have performed a statistical analysis on protein -hairpins showing that the most abundant types of -hairpins, 2:2, 3:5 and 4:4, have characteristic patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts, as expected on the basis of their and angles. This fact strongly supports the potential value of 13C and 13C conformational shifts as a means to identify -hairpin motifs in peptides. Their usefulness was confirmed by analysing the patterns of 13C and 13C conformational shifts in 13 short peptides, 10–15 residues long, that adopt -hairpin structures in aqueous solution. Furthermore, we have investigated their potential as a method to quantify -hairpin populations in peptides. 相似文献

The specificity of induction of cellulose- and xylan-degrading enzymes was investigated on the yeast strain Trichosporon cutaneum CCY 30-5-4 using series of compounds structurally related to cellulose and xylan, including monosaccharides, glycosides, glucooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides. Determination of activities of secreted cellulase and -xylanase, intracellular, cell wall bound and extracellular -glucosidase and -xylosidase revealed that: (1) The synthesis of xylan-degrading enzymes is induced in the cell only by xylosaccharides, 1,3--xylobiose, 1,2--xylobiose, 1,4--xylosyl-L-arabinose, 1,4--xylobiose and thioxylobiose being the best inducers. The xylan-degrading enzymes show different pattern of development in time and discrete cellular localization, i.e. intracellular -xylosidase precedes extracellular -xylanase. (2) A true cellulase is not inducible by glucosaccharides and cellulose. Negligible constitutive cellulase activity was detected which was about two orders lower than an induced cellulase in the typical cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei QM 9414. (3) The best inducer of intracellular -glucosidase splitting cellobiose was thiocellobiose in a wide range of concentration (0.1–10 mM), whereas xylosaccharides at high concentrations induced -xylosidase of xylobiose type and a non-specific aryl -D-glucosidase.The results were confirmed by growing cells on cellulose and xylan. T. cutaneum was found to be a xylan-voracious yeast, unable to grow on cellulose. 相似文献

The expression of polymorphic determinants on I-E molecules is largely dependent on allelic variation in the E
chain. We have previously analyzed the expression of E
k
and E
b
chains in F1 hybrid mice by a combination of techniques, and have shown that functional variation detected by the responsiveness of cloned T-cell lines specific for these molecules correlates well with serological determination of E
expression. In the present study, we have extended our analysis to E
d
expression in F1 hybrid mice. We show that E
d
is relatively poorly expressed in three F1 combinations: H-2
d× H-2
b, H-2
d× H-2
s, and H-2
d× H-2
u. The former two crosses express E
chains from the H-2
dparent only; when recombinant strains carrying E
b
or E
s
and an active E
gene are used, E
d
expression is significantly increased. On the other hand, H-2
umice synthesize E
chains; the poor expression of E
d
chains in this F1 hybrid apparently reflects the strong preferential association of E
u
chains with all E
molecules thus far analyzed. These results confirm that E
chains compete for binding to E
chains and that preferential association of different allelic forms of E
chains with E
chains is a generalized phenomenon. They also illustrate the importance of the rate of biosynthesis of Ia chains for cell-surface expression. 相似文献
