The removal of phenol by peroxidase-catalysed polymerization was examined using purified Coprinus cinereus peroxidase. The phenol removal efficiency increased with a decrease in the reaction temperature over the range of 0–70 °C, though only a trace of enzyme activity with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP), phenol and hydrogen peroxide was found at 0 °C. The optimum pH value for phenol removal was 9.0, while the enzyme expressed maximum activity at pH 7.5 in the presence of 4-AAP, phenol and hydrogen peroxide. By measuring residual enzyme activity in the polymerizing reaction mixture, it was shown that enzyme inactivation by free radicals was more suppressed at 0 °C than at 40 °C and that the adsorption of the enzyme on the polymerized precipitate was more suppressed at pH 9.0 than that at pH 7.5. 相似文献

For the first time, oxidative polymerization of cardol derived from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), which is a cheap, useful, and renewable substance, has been carried out using a fungal peroxidase from Coprinus cinereus (CiP). Cardol, one of the major components of CNSL, is a resorcinol derivative mainly having a C15 unsaturated hydrocarbon chain with 1–3 double bonds at a meta position. To date cardol has not been completely exploited as a monomer for enzymatic polymerization. Enzymatic polymerization of cardol proceeded with higher yield in an equivolume mixture of tert-butanol and phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The yield and molecular weight of polycardol depended on the hydrogen peroxide concentration. Polycardol was rapidly cured at room temperature within 4 h to give harden dry and dark brown color coatings. Pencil scratch hardness data indicated that the curing rate of polycardol was superior to those of polycardanol. Thermogravimetric analysis implied that the cured product from polycardol was thermally more stable than that from polycardanol. We expect that polycardol from renewable resources, which is similar to or superior to polycardanol, can find many applications in the near future. 相似文献

MTPC (Methylene tri p-cresol) and m-cresol were copolymerized by Coprinus cinereus peroxidase in aqueous acetone. Although MTPC did not dissolve completely in the aqueous acetone, copolymerization was achieved owing to the radical transfer between solute and solid surface. Various polymerized products with different molecular weights and hydroxyl values were synthesized depending upon reaction compositions (ratio of MTPC to m-cresol and buffer to acetone). Poly(MTPC–m-cresol), a copolymer of MTPC and m-cresol, was mixed with a diazonaphthoquinone derivative to form a new type of photoresist, a thin film of which was formed on a silicon wafer and immersed in alkaline solution (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) to measure speed of dissolution. Poly(MTPC–m-cresol), with higher hydroxyl value (over 80%), showed remarkably improved dissolution characteristics (dark loss in alkaline solution decreased by almost half), which is prerequisite for sensitive photoresist polymer. 相似文献

Summary We examined the influence of DNA form and size on the arrangement and genomic location of transforming DNA sequences in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus. Protoplasts with either single or double mutations in the tryptophan synthetase (TRPI) gene were transformed with cloned copies of this gene which contained only a single DNA strand, contained a specific single nick within the C. cinereus sequences (4.8 kb), contained a specific double-strand break, or contained an additional 35 kb of flanking genomic sequences. Gene replacement events were recovered when each DNA type was used. However, none of these substrates offers a substantial improvement in transformation or targeting frequency when compared to supercoiled circular DNA, which has allowed recovery of both gene replacements as well as homologous insertions in 5 % of the transformants analyzed. The frequency of transformants carrying tandem insertions with multiple copies of the transforming DNA was reduced when single-stranded DNA was used, and increased when DNA containing double-strand breaks was used. These results have important implications for the efficient design of targeted transformation and co-transformation experiments. 相似文献

Water convolvulus, a vegetable, absorbed bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, from the medium. One week later, no BPA could be detected in the plant, indicating that BPA had been metabolized in the plant. BPA monoglucoside was detected as the BPA base at ca. 10% in the roots, some in the stems, but none in the leaves. 2H-NMR analyses of MeOH extracts and hydrolyzates of the plant treated with BPA-d16 showed the presence of metabolites (ca. 7% and 26%, respectively, as BPA equivalents) other than the glucoside. Over 50% of BPA might be polymerized and/or tightly bound in the plant residues. 相似文献

The characteristics of the oxidative polymerization of alkyl phenol derivatives catalyzed by Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CIP) were studied qualitatively and quantitatively using a combined approach of experiments and computational docking simulations. As determined by docking study of CIP and alkyl phenols, the binding interaction was found to be important for the determination of substrate specificity. The distant binding and indirect orientation of o-isopropyl phenol and o-tertiary butyl phenol to the catalytic residue (56His) could explain the inability of CIP to polymerize these substrates. Three hydrophobic residues (156Pro, 192Leu, and 230Phe) at the entrance of the binding pocket were also found to be crucial in binding and orientation of alkyl phenols. A two-parameter QSAR equation with the binding distance and the molecular volume of the substrates was proposed and the polymerization yield was accurately predicted by two-parameter QSAR equation. 相似文献

Components used in plastics, such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), are detected in humans. In addition to their utility in plastics, an inadvertent characteristic of these chemicals is the ability to alter the endocrine system. Phthalates function as anti-androgens while the main action attributed to BPA is oestrogen-like activity. PBDE and TBBPA have been shown to disrupt thyroid hormone homeostasis while PBDEs also exhibit anti-androgen action. Experimental investigations in animals indicate a wide variety of effects associated with exposure to these compounds, causing concern regarding potential risk to human health. For example, the spectrum of effects following perinatal exposure of male rats to phthalates has remarkable similarities to the testicular dysgenesis syndrome in humans. Concentrations of BPA in the foetal mouse within the range of unconjugated BPA levels observed in human foetal blood have produced effects in animal experiments. Finally, thyroid hormones are essential for normal neurological development and reproductive function. Human body burdens of these chemicals are detected with high prevalence, and concentrations in young children, a group particularly sensitive to exogenous insults, are typically higher, indicating the need to decrease exposure to these compounds. 相似文献

We have identified the seven genes that constitute the A43 mating-type factor of Coprinus cinereus and compare the organisation of A43 with the previously characterised A42 factor. In both, the genes that trigger clamp cell development, the so-called specificity genes, are separated into and loci by 7 kb of noncoding sequence and are flanked by homologous genes -fg and -fg. The specificity genes are known to encode two classes of dissimilar homeodomain (HD1 and HD2) proteins and have different allelic forms which show little or no cross-hybridisation. By partial sequencing we identified a divergently transcribed HD1 (a1-2) and HD2 (a2-2) gene in the A43 locus. a2-2 failed to elicit clamp cell development in three different hosts, suggesting that it is non-functional. a1-2 elicited clamp cells in an A42 host that has only an HD2 gene (a2-1) in its locus, thus demonstrating that the compatible A mating interaction is between an HD1 and an HD2 protein. The A43 locus contains three specificity genes, the divergently transcribed HD1 and HD2 genes b1-2 and b2-2 and a third HD1 gene (d1-1) that was shown by hybridisation and transformation analyses to be functionally equivalent to d1-1 in A42. An untranscribed footprint of a third A42 HD1 gene, c1-1, was detected between the A43 b2-2 and d1-1 genes by Southern hybridisation. 相似文献

171 mutations conferring resistance to the indole analogue 5-fluoroindole (5 FI) were isolated in the filamentous basidiomycete fungus Coprinus cinereus. 5 FI is thought to be toxic because it is converted intracellularly to 5-fluorotryptophan (5 FT) which feedback inhibits the first enzyme of the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway, anthranilate synthase. Mutations were assigned to five loci, iar-1-iar-5 on the basis of functional analyses and mapping experiments. iar-5 mutations mapped in the anthranilate synthase structural gene and gave rise to an enzyme feedback resistant to tryptophan and its analogue. Mutants at other loci had regulatory changes. iar-1 and iar-3 mutants had elevated levels of two pathway enzymes measured (anthranilate synthase and tryptophan synthase) and were cross resistant to analogues of other aromatic amino acids suggesting that the entire aromatic pathway was derepressed. iar-3 mutants were unable to degrade metabolically derived typtophan to anthranilic acid unlike iar-1 mutants which excreted high levels of anthranilic acid. iar-2 mutants appeared to have a constitutive degradative pathway. iar-4 mutants had a blocked degradative pathway and unusual levels of tryptophan pathway enzymes.Abbreviations 5 FI 5-fluoroindole - 5 FT 5-fluorotryptophan - pFP para-fluorophenylalanine - mFT meta-fluoro-tyrosine 相似文献

It is known that a mutation in the pcc1 gene of the homobasidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea leads to pseudoclamp development and fruit-body formation in a homokaryon without mating. In this study we characterize two
strains that were reported previously to exhibit pseudoclamp development and fruiting without mating, together with six new
mutants exhibiting the same phenotype. A frame-shift, nonsense, or intron splice site mutation was present within pcc1 in each of the eight mutants. The results suggest that the Pcc1 protein is a key element in a pathway(s) leading to pseudoclamp
development and fruiting. 相似文献

Bisphenol A was polymerized by Coprinus cinereus peroxidase in aqueous 2-propanol solution. Various polymerized products with different molecular weights and hydroxyl values were synthesized depending on the reaction compositions (the ratio of aqueous buffer to 2-propanol). Poly(bisphenol A), a polymer of bisphenol A, was mixed with a diazonaphthoquinone derivative to form a new type of photoresist. A thin photoresist film was formed on the silicon wafer and exposed to UV light for different lengths of time. Poly(bisphenol A) having a molecular weight of approximately 3000 yielded sharply contrasted patterns as compared with the other poly(bisphenol A)s having different molecular weights. 相似文献

Proteolytic enzymes, particularly secreted proteases of fungal origin, are among the most important of industrial enzymes, yet the biochemical properties and substrate specificities of these proteins have been difficult to characterize. Genomic sequencing offers a powerful tool to identify potentially novel proteases. The genome of the model basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinereus was found to have an unusually high number of metalloproteases that closely match the M36 peptidase family known as fungalysins. The eight predicted C. cinereus fungalysins divide into two groups upon comparison with fungalysins from other fungi. One member, CcMEP1, is most similar to the single representative fungalysins from the basidiomycetes Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Ustilago maydis, and to the fungalysin type-protein from Aspergillus fumigatus. The remaining seven C. cinereus predicted fungalysins form a group with similarity to three predicted M36 peptidases of Laccaria bicolor. All eight of the C. cinereus enzymes contain both the signature M36 Pfam domain and the FTP propeptide domain. All contain large propeptides with considerable sequence conservation near a proposed cleavage site. The predicted mature enzymes range in size from 37–46 kDa and have isoelectric points that are mildly acidic to neutral. The proximity of these genes to telomeres and/or to transposable elements may have contributed to the expansion of this gene family in C. cinereus. 相似文献

We have isolated 37 radiation-sensitive mutants of the basidiomyceteCoprinus cinereus. Each mutation is recessive, and the collection defines at least ten complementation groups for survival of gamma irradiation. Four complementation groups define the genesrad3, rad9, rad11 andrad12, which are required both for survival of gamma irradiation and for meiosis. Mutants in each of these four groups fail to complete meiosis and produce mushrooms with greatly reduced numbers of viable spores. Propidium iodide staining of meiotic nuclei showed a characteristic terminal appearance for each mutant: few cells of any of the meiotic mutants progress beyond prophase I, and both condensation and fragmentation or dispersal of meiotic chromatin are frequently observed. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the meiotic mutants make varying numbers (0–6) of basidiospore initials and that few of these initials develop into mature spores. When initials are present they are always symmetrically arrayed on the basidium, regardless of initial number. In quantitative measurements of gamma ray sensitivity, double mutants of every tested combination ofrad3, rad9, rad11 andrad12 consistently showed the same gamma ray sensitivity as the more sensitive single mutant parent of the cross. Therefore, these four genes are in the same pathway for the repair of gamma radiation damage, and this pathway also represents one or more functions essential for meiosis. 相似文献

We first examined the changes in distribution of F-actin during conjugate division in the apical cells of the dikaryon ofCoprinus cinereus using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, then followed hyphal tip growth and the movement of the two nuclei in the apical
cells using differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC). In apical cells with interphase nuclei, F-actin occurred
solely as peripheral plaques, which were distributed along the whole length of the cell and were more concentrated at the
tips, where they formed caps. In the early prophase of conjugate division, F-actin was transiently concentrated, as diffused
form and plaques, at hyphal regions where the two nuclei sit, and this was accompanied by transient disappearance of the actin
cap at the hyphal tip in the majority of cells. The actin cap was also present at the tips of growing clamp cells from late
prophase through metaphase and disintegrated during anaphase. In telophase, actin rings formed at the future septa. DIC revealed
that, in early prophase, when the F-actin array occurs around the two nuclei and the actin cap is absent at hyphal tips, hyphae
kept growing and the second nucleus accelerated its forward movement to catch up with the leading nucleus, which was still
moving forward. 相似文献

Hormographiella-like strains, isolated from different natural substrates and producing sclerotia and occasionally basidiomata of Coprinus cinereus, were compared morphologically and using molecular techniques with clinical strains of Hormographiella aspergillata and H. verticillata. Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms of ribosomal and mitochondrial-like DNA confirmed interspecific differences between H. aspergillata and H. verticillata, supporting the morphological data, and helped demonstrate that H. aspergillata is the anamorph of C. cinereus. The latter was confirmed also by crossing tests. The analysis of the mtDNA restriction profiles revealed intraspecific variability in C. cinereus, which allowed differentiation of clinical and environmental strains. Due to the implication of C. cinereus and Hormographiella in human opportunistic infections, the antifungal susceptibility test is included. Results show that all strains were susceptible to miconazole, itraconazole and ketoconazole but not to flucytosine and fluconazol. Susceptibility against amphotericin B was variable; while H. verticillata was susceptible, four out of seven C. cinereus strains tested were resistant. 相似文献

Two irreversible inhibitors, iodoacetamide and diethylpyrocarbonate, were used to select intraspecific fusion products of two mushroom species, Coprinus cinereus and Schizophyllum commune. Iodoacetamide was the more suitable inhibitor because it gave a low breakage frequency and low survival rate of the cells in the inactivation experiments. Fusion-induced by polyethylene glycol and electro-fusion were compared and, under optimal conditions, gave fusion frequencies of 16.7% to 50.0% and 6.9% to 8.4%, respectively. All fusion progeny were heterokaryons (dikaryons) and had clamp connections. There were no differences in the morphology and fruiting ability of the fusion progeny and those of the heterokaryons generated from mating. 相似文献

To investigate human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a widely used endocrine disruptor, we measured serum BPA concentrations and analyzed the interrelation of BPA with sex-related hormones. BPA was detected in all human sera by a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum BPA concentrations were significantly higher in normal men (1.49 +/- 0.11 ng/ml; P < 0.01) and in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (1.04 +/- 0.10 ng/ml; P < 0.05) compared with normal women (0.64 +/- 0.10 ng/ml). There were significant positive correlations between serum BPA and total testosterone (r = 0.595, P < 0.001) and free testosterone (r = 0.609, P < 0.001) concentrations in all subjects and likewise between serum BPA and total testosterone (r = 0.559, P < 0.01) and free testosterone (r = 0.598, P < 0.001) concentrations in all female subjects, but not between serum BPA and other sex-related hormone concentrations in any group. These findings showed that there are gender differences in serum BPA concentrations, possibly due to differences in the androgen-related metabolism of BPA. 相似文献
