The 5 alpha-D-arabinofuranosylnucleosides alpha-araU (15), alpha-araT (18), alpha-araC (22), alpha-araA (25), and alpha-araG (28) have been synthesized by the modified silyl-method. The amino groups at the nucleobases and the 2'-hydroxy group at the sugar moiety were protected by the 2-(4-nitro-phenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) group (37-40) and the amide function in alpha-araG was additionally blocked by the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl group (63) to improve solubility in organic solvents. Mono-and dimethoxytritylation of the 5'-OH group was performed in the usual manner to give 41-48, 64, and 65 in high yields and further substitution of the 3'-OH group led to the monomeric building blocks 66-75 as well as the 3'-O-succinoyl derivatives 76-85 functioning as starting units in solid-support oligonucleotide synthesis. A large number of oligo-alpha-arabinonucleotides have been prepared on modified CPG-material applying the npeoc/npe strategy as a very efficient synthetic tool for highly purified, homogenous oligomers. Hybridizations between alpha-arabinonucleotide strands revealed in analogy to earlier findings an antiparallel orientation whereas the combination of an oligo-alpha-D-arabinonucleotide with a complementary oligo-2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosylnucleotide showed base-pairing only if a parallel polarity was present. The advantages in oligo-alpha-arabinonucleotide synthesis were furthermore demonstrated by the synthesis of the talpha-ANA(his) structural analog of the natural tRNA(his) of the phage T5. 相似文献

Bunyamwera virus-induced polypeptide synthesis in BSC-1 cell has been studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Four virus-induced polypeptides were identified. Their molecular weights were 200 X 10(6) (L), 128 X 10(6) (G1), 31 X 10(6) (G2), and 23 X 10(6) (N). Pulse-chase experiments, short labeling experiments, and experiments using amino acid analogs failed to show evidence of polypeptides processing by proteolytic cleavage. Analysis of the kinetics of synthesis of these polypeptides showed that a clear division into early and late categories could be made, the onset of synthesis of polypeptide N and L rapidly reached a peak and then declined. Polypeptides G1 and G2 were made for several hours; their rate of synthesis then declined. All four polypeptides then continued to be made in relatively small amounts for many hours. 相似文献

Tissue slices from lactating goat-mammary gland synthesized short (C4:0 and C6:0), medium (C8:0 and C10:0) and long-chain (C12:0 to C16:0) fatty acids in proportions similar to that found in goat milk fat. In contrast, the particle-free supernatant fraction and the purified fatty acid synthetase from this tissue synthesized predominantly short-chain and long-chain fatty acids. Terminating acyl-thioesterases of low molecular weight could not be detected in the particle-free supernatant. Addition of the microsomal fraction to the particle-free supernatant induced the synthesis of medium-chain fatty acids in proportions which were similar to those found in goat milk fat. 相似文献

Choline acetyltransferase was demonstrated in nettles (Urtica dioica), peas (Pisum sativum), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and blue--green algae by using a Sepharose--CoASH affinity column. The column effected a 1500-fold purification of the enzyme from nettle homogenates and was required for demonstrating activity in the other higher plants. Demonstration of the enzyme in blue-green algae suggests that acetylcholine was a biochemical necessity in the earliest photosynthetic organisms. 相似文献

In this paper, a straightforward and generic protocol is presented to label the C-terminus of a peptide with any desired moiety that is functionalized with a primary amine. Amine-functional molecules included are polymers (useful for hybrid polymers), long alkyl chains (used in peptide amphiphiles and stabilization of peptides), propargyl amine and azido propyl-amine (desirable for 'click' chemistry), dansyl amine (fluorescent labeling of peptides) and crown ethers (peptide switches/hybrids). In the first part of the procedure, the primary amine is attached to an aldehyde-functional resin via reductive amination. To the secondary amine that is produced, an amino acid sequence is coupled via a standard solid-phase peptide synthesis protocol. Since one procedure can be applied for any given amine-functional moiety, a robust method for C-terminal peptide labeling is obtained. 相似文献

The preparation of 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl- (3), 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl- (4), and 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-N-(2,2-diethoxycarbonylvinyl)-6-O-trityl-beta- D-glucopyranosylamine (5) is described. The reaction of 3-5 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide yields 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl- (9), 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl- (10), and 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-N-(2,2-diethoxycarbonylvinyl)-6-O-(2,3,4,6-tet ra-O- acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (11), respectively. 2,3,4-Tri-O-benzyl- (6), 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl- (7), and 2,3,4-tri-O- benzoyl-N-(2,2-diethoxycarbonylvinyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (8) are also described. 相似文献

Solid-phase synthesis of glucose-derived Amadori peptides. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nonenzymatic glycosylation or glycation of amino groups in peptides and proteins by D-glucose is a universal reaction with important implications for the pathogenesis of many diseases including diabetes mellitus. Here a general approach is reported to synthesize site specifically glucose-derived N-glycated peptides. Therefore, model peptides H-AKASASFL-NH(2), H-AKASADFL-NH(2), H-ASKASKFL-NH(2), and H-AKDSASFL-NH(2) were synthesized on solid phase by Fmoc chemistry using Fmoc-Lys(4-methyltrityl)-OH in positions 2 or 3 to be glycated. After completion of the synthesis, the acid labile 4-methyltrityl-group was cleaved with 1% TFA in DCM and the free amino groups were glycated by the Lobry de Bruyn reaction using 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-aldehydo-beta-D-arabino-hexos-2-ulo-2,6-pyranose on solid phase. After TFA treatment, the crude peptides were obtained in high yields and purities above 80%. Minor by-products were well separated on reversed-phase HPLC. 相似文献

The equilibrium of hydrolytic reactions can be shifted toward condensation by carrying out the reaction at low water concentration. The rate and yield of urease-catalyzed urea synthesis from (NH4)2CO3 or NH4HCO3 has been examined as a function of water concentration (in mixtures with organic solvents), substrate and H+ concentration, and polarity of the nonaqueous component of the solvent. Similar effects of organic solvents are observed on the reaction rate in both directions; the results suggest that at least in some conditions the reaction proceeds through nonenzymically formed carbamate. The equilibrium concentration of urea, in 50% () water, varies over 10-fold, depending on the nature of the nonaqueous component of the solvent; nonhydroxylic solvents such as acetone given the highest yield. Solubility measurements suggest that the interactions of the solvent mixtures with (NH4)2CO3 (or carbamate), rather than urea, are responsible for the variations in urea yield. Activities of water and the ionic components of the equilibrium are strongly influenced by the nature of the nonaqueous component of the solvent, as well as its concentration. 相似文献

The synthesis of some repetitive sequences of elastin and their simplified analogues, all comprising the structural unit Gly-X-Gly (X = Val, Leu, Ala), is described. In particular, the following peptides and polypeptides were synthesized and characterized: Boc-Gly-Val-Gly-Gly-Leu-OMe, Boc-Gly-Leu-Gly-Gly-Val-OMe, Boc-(Gly-Val-Gly-Gly-Leu)2-OMe, Boc-(Gly-Val-Gly-Gly-Leu)3-OMe, Boc-Gly-Val-Gly-Gly-OEt, Boc-Leu-Gly-Gly-Leu-OMe, Boc-Val-Gly-Gly-Val-OMe, poly(Ala-Gly-Gly), poly(Val-Gly-Gly), and poly(Leu-Gly-Gly). In every case, the synthesis was accomplished by classical procedures in solution, by using the p-nitrophenyl ester method for the polycondensation step, and the mixed anhydride or the azide methods for the coupling steps. 相似文献

An improved synthesis of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-histidine. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In our investigations on the effect of replacement of histidine by homohistidine (1) on the biological activity of some peptide-hormones, relatively large quantities of Boc-homohistidine were required. Homohistidine being difficult to synthesize, it was essential to find an effective way of introducing the Boc-group. In the past, many syntheses of Boc-histidine were reported (2-6), none of which proved to be quite satisfactory. However, by modifying the procedure of Flouret et al. (6) a convenient method resulting in a high yield of Boc-histidine and Boc-homohistidine was found. 相似文献

13,17-Secodiacholestanes (6) were synthesized from cholesterol (1) in six steps. The key intermediates, (20R)- and (20S)-diacholest-13(17)-enes (3a and 3b), underwent ozonization and reduction to provide (20R)- and (20S)-13,17-secodiacholesta-13,17-dione (5a and 5b), respectively. On Clemmensen reduction, the diones (5a and 5b) yielded the target molecule 6. The structure of an unknown biomarker was shown to be different from the proposed 6 by gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric comparison. 相似文献

Glycinebetaine is an osmoprotectant accumulated by barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants in response to high levels of NaCl, drought, and cold stress. Using barley seedlings in hydroponic culture, we characterized additional inducers of glycinebetaine accumulation. These included other inorganic salts (KCl, MgCl(2), LiCl, and Na(2)SO(4)), oxidants (H(2)O(2) and cumene hydroperoxide), and organic compounds (abscisic acid, polymixin B, n-butanol, salicylic acid, and aspirin). Stress symptoms brought on by high NaCl and other inducers, and not necessarily correlated with glycinebetaine accumulation, include wilting, loss of chlorophyll, and increase in thiobarbituric acid reacting substances. For NaCl, Ca(2+) ions at 10 to 20 mM decrease these stress symptoms without diminishing, or even increasing, glycinebetaine induction. Abscisic acid induces glycinebetaine accumulation without causing any of the stress symptoms. NaCl, KCl, and H(2)O(2) (but not other inducers) induce glycinebetaine at concentrations below those needed for the other stress symptoms. Mg(2+) at 10 to 20 mM induces both stress symptoms and glycinebetaine, but only at low (0.2 mM) Ca(2+). Although illumination is needed for optimal induction, a significant increase in the leaf glycinebetaine level is found in complete darkness, also. 相似文献

Hirudin variant 1 (HV1), a small protein consisting of 65 amino acids and three disulfide bonds, was synthesized by using Fmoc-based convergent methods on 2-chlorotrityl resin (CLTR). The linear sequence was assembled by the sequential condensation of 7 protected fragments, on the resin-bound 55-65 fragment. The conditions of fragment assembly were carefully studied to determine the most efficient synthetic protocol. Crude reduced [Cys(16, 28)(Acm)]-HV1 thus obtained was easily purified to homogeneity by RP-HPLC. Disulfide bridges were successfully formed by a two-step procedure, involving an oxidative folding step to form Cys(6)-Cys(14) and Cys(22)-Cys(39) linkages, followed by iodine oxidation to form the Cys(16)-Cys(28) bond. The correct disulfide bond alignment was established by peptide mapping using Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease at pH 4.5. 相似文献

Chemical syntheses of the two dodecanucleotides d(T-C-A-A-C-G-T-A-A-C-A-C) and d(A-C-G-T-T-G-A-G-A-A-A-G), the two undecanucleotides d(T-T-T-A-C-A-G-C-G-G-C) and d(T-G-T-A-A-A-G-T-G-T-T), the decanucleotide d(A-G-T-C-C-G-A-A-A-G), and the nonanucleotide d(A-A-T-T-C-T-T-T-C) are described. These deoxyribo-oligonucleotide segments, excluding the decanucleotide, represent the DNA duplex corresponding to the previously determined nucleotide sequence -30 to -51 of the promoter region of the gene for the tyrosine suppressor tRNA (Sekiya, T., Gait, M.J., Norris, K., Ramamoorthy, B., and Khorana, H.G. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 4481-4489) and include the EcoRI restriction endonuclease sequence at the appropriate 5'-end. The nona- and decanucleotide along with the previously synthesized deoxyribo-oligonucleotide segments 25 to 27 (Ramamoorthy, B., Lees, R.G., Kleid, D., and Khorana, H.G. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 676-694) together represent the DNA duplex corresponding to the natural nucleotide sequence 121 to 142 of the region adjoining the C-C-A end of the tyrosine tRNA gene and, in addition, a run of nine nucleotides which include the EcoRI restriction enzyme sequence at the 5'-end. The syntheses used protected mono- and oligonucleotides and stepwise condensation methods. A noteworthy feature of the present syntheses was the use of reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography for the rapid and efficient separation of synthetic reaction mixtures. 相似文献

The structure-function relationships in nitrite reductases, key enzymes in the dissimilatory denitrification pathway which reduce nitrite to nitric oxide (NO), are reviewed in this paper. The mechanisms of NO production are discussed in detail and special attention is paid to new structural information, such as the high resolution structure of the copper- and heme-containing enzymes from different sources. Finally, some implications relevant to regulation of the steady state levels of NO in denitrifiers are presented. 相似文献

The present study has investigated the influence of agents which elevate intracellular levels of endogenous platelet adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP), and the effect of the exogenous cyclic AMP analog, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, on the conversion of 14C-arachidonic acid by washed platelets. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), PGE1 with theophylline, or dibutyryl cyclic AMP incubated with washed platelets prevented arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation, but had no effect on the conversion of arachidonic acid to 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10 heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), or thromboxane B2. Ultrastructural studies of the platelet response revealed that agents acting directly or indirectly to increase the level of cyclic AMP inhibited the action of arachidonic acid on washed platelets and prevented internal platelet contraction as well as aggregation. The influence of PGE1 with theophylline, and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the thrombin induced release of 14C-arachidonic acid from platelet membrane phospholipids was also investigated. These agents were found to be potent inhibitors of the thrombin stimulated release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids, due most likely to an inhibition of platelet phospholipase A activity. The results show that dibutyryl cyclic AMP and agents which elevate intracellular cyclic AMP levels act to inhibit platelet activation at two steps 1) internal contraction and 2) release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids. 相似文献

Base modification during solid-phase phosphoramidite synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides has been investigated. We have discovered chemical modification that converts dG and dG-containing oligomers to a fluorescent form. This modification has been linked to N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), an acylation catalyst, which can displace phosphate triester adducts at the 6-position of guanine. Further, we have found that this fluorescent intermediate can be converted in ammonium hydroxide solution to 2,6 diaminopurine deoxyribonucleoside (2,6 DAP), a potentially mutagenic nucleoside analog. We have shown that N-methylimidazole (NMI) in place of DMAP eliminates the fluorescent species and reduces 2,6 DAP contamination. 相似文献

The chemical synthesis of lactose operator DNA segments is described. The 31-base-paired duplex contains the DNA recognized by lac repressor protein and twofold rotationally symmetric base pairs on either side of the tight binding region. The synthesis includes the deoxyoligonucleotides d(T-G-T-G-G), d(A-A-T-T-G-T-G-A-G), d(C-G-G-A-T-A-A-C-A-A-T-T), d(T-C-A-C-A), d(T-G-T-G-A-A-A-T-T-G-T), d(T-A-T-C-C-G-C-T-C-A-C), and d(A-A-T-T-C-C-A-C-A). These deoxyoligonucleotides were characterized by two-dimensional sequencing techniques, paper chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography. 相似文献

The synthesis of imidodiphosphate analogues of natural nucleoside 5'-diphosphates including adenosine 5'-imidodiphosphate (4a), guanosine 5'-imidodiphosphate (4b), 2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-imidodiphosphate (4c), and 2'-deoxy-guanosine 5'-imidodiphosphate (4d) has been accomplished for the first time. These compounds are the products of the reaction between nucleosides and trichloro [(dichlorophosphoryl)imido] phosphorane in trimethyl phosphate. Some of the major by-products of the reaction including 5'-deoxy-5'-chloro nucleosides are discussed. Compounds 4b, 4c, and 4d are potent inhibitors of ecto-5'-nucleotidase whereas compound 4a also active but less potent inhibitor. Compound 4b is the most potent inhibitor of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PPRP) synthetase which follows by 4c, 4d and 4a. All of these compounds were more potent inhibitor of PPRP-synthetase than ADP or GDP. Ribavirin imidodiphosphate (4e) was also synthesized and tested for its inhibitory effect on ecto-5'-nucleotidase, PPRP-synthetase as well as IMP dehydrogenase. Compound 4e is the most potent inhibitor of IMP dehyrogenase but was a weak inhibitor of the other two enzymes. compound 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d are weak inhibitors of IMP dehydrogenase. 相似文献
