A novel syrup containing neofructo-oligosaccharides was produced from sucrose (Brix 70) by whole cells of Penicillium citrinum. The efficiency of fructo-oligosaccharides production was more than 55% and those of the main carbohydrate components, 1-kestose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Glc), nystose (Fruf 21Fruf 21 Fruf 21 Glc) and neokestose (Fruf 26 Glc12 Fruf), were 22, 14 and 11%, respectively. 相似文献

We have developed a new method for the large scale preparation of pyridylaminated (PA-) oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. Phenol/chloroform extration was adapted for the removal of protein and excess 2-aminopyridine, improving the efficiency of preparation. From a 2.5 g sample of human apo-transferrin, 25–30 mol of agalacto biantennary PA-oligosaccharide could be obtained. By increasing the concentration of PA-oligosaccharide substrate, we were able to detect a very low level ofN-acetylglucosaminlytransferase IV activity in CHO cell extracts.Abbreviations PA

Quantitative analysis of carotene accumulation in white, pink, pumpkin, orange, and yellow haploid strains ofUstilago violacea by high-performance liquid chromatography indicated that specific patterns of carotene accumulation are primarily responsible for the white, pumpkin, orange, and yellow phenotypes. The yellow strains accumulated primarily -zeacarotene and -carotene. The white strains accumulated primarily the colorless carotene, phytoene, or did not accumulate any carotene at all. Carotene accumulation in pink haploid strains followed the same patterns as for the white, pumpkin, orange, or yellow strains. Pink diploid and disomic strains ofU. violacea with various parental combinations of the color mutations accumulated either cis--zeacarotene and -carotene or only -carotene. The pattern of carotene accumulation in conjunction with the available genetic information for the carotene loci inU. violacea was used as a basis for the construction of a new genetic model for carotene biosynthesis inU. violacea. The model employs three dehydrogenases and one cyclase for the synthesis of -carotene from phytoene, and accounts for the carotene accumulation patterns of either cis--zeacarotene and -carotene or lycopene, -carotene, and -carotene. 相似文献

Summary The histochemical distribution of various hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases in human, term, foetal membranes has been investigated using the tetrazolium dye, Nitro-B.T.The trophoblastic layer was the most active, showing 3-, 3-, 11-, 16- and 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities, a pattern of activity similar to that of the placental villous trophoblast.The amniotic epithelium showed weak 3-, 3-, 16- and 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity; weak 3- and 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity was noted in the connective tissue layers.All activity demonstrated was N.A.D.-linked. 相似文献

Summary Short-term ACTH treatment provoked a decrease in volume of the lipid-droplet compartment in rat zona glomerulosa cells, and a rise in plasma and intracellular concentrations of corticosterone and aldosterone. It enhanced activities of 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3HSD), 11-hydroxylase (11OH) and 18-hydroxylase (18OH). Long-term ACTH administration produced a hypertrophy of the zona glomerulosa and its parenchymal cells, a result of the increase in volume of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial compartment. The surface area per cell of mitochondrial inner membranes increased; the tubular cristae were transformed into a homogeneous population of vesicles. The plasma and intracellular concentrations of corticosterone further increased, whereas those of aldosterone fell below basal levels (the aldosterone-escape phenomenon). The activities of 3HSD and 11OH were enhanced, that of 180H decreased. Therefore, ACTH stimulates zona glomerulosa growth and transforms parenchymal elements into zona fasciculata celltypes. Cyanoketone nullified acute ACTH effects on plasma and intracellular concentrations of corticosterone and aldosterone, but did not affect the activities of 11OH and 18OH. Chronic ACTH treatment produced similar results, although 18OH activity was not suppressed. The mechanism underlying the aldosterone-escape phenomenon may thus involve a rise in the intracellular concentration of corticosterone, caused by the enhanced synthesis and activation of 3HSD and 11OH. 相似文献

Four glycosidases were analyzed in 10 mm apical segments prepared from growing roots (15 mm) of Zea mays L. The pH optima were found to be 5.8 for -glucosidase, 4.4 for -galactosidase, 6.4 for -glucosidase and 6.0 for -galactosidase. The -glucosidase showed 4-fold higher activity than the -galactosidase. The distribution of the -glucosidase activity was signifcantly different from that of the -galactosidase, -glucosidase and -galactosidase.Abbreviations -Glu

In Drosophila as in many organisms tubulins are encoded by a gene family. We have determined the complete nucleotide sequences coding for the 1 and 2 tubulins of Drosophila melanogaster and the 2 tubulin of D. hydei, and found these insect tubulins to be highly conserved and like tubulins of other organisms. This is discussed with reference to the possible functional domains of these proteins. — The 1 tubulin gene of Drosophila is constitutively expressed, whereas the 2 tubulin is expressed specifically in the testes. In D. melanogaster the amino acid sequences of these proteins are 95% homologous, differing at only 25 positions. In the testes the 2 tubulin participates in different microtubules as shown by genetic analysis (Kemphues et al. 1982). Interestingly, all of the amino acids characteristic of the testis-specific 2 tubulin are also present in the corresponding gene of D. hydei. Of special interest is the high degree of conservation of the carboxy-terminal domain in these functionally equivalent tubulins. 相似文献

Anthocyanins isolated and characterized from the wild carrot suspension cultures used here were 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-[-D-xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D<-galactopyranosylcyanidin (1), 3-O-[-D- xylopyranosyl-(12)--D-galactopyranosyl]cyanidin (2), 3-O-(6-O-sinapoyl)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-[-D- xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D-galactopyranos ylcyanidin (3), 3-O-(6-O-feruoyl)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-[- D-xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D-galactopyranosylcyanidin (4), 3-O-(6-O-coumaroyl)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)- [-D-xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D-galactopyrano sylcyanidin (5), 3-O-[6-O-(3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamoyl)]-- D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-[-D-xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D-galactopyranosylcyanidin (6), 3-O-[6-O-(3,4-dime- thoxycinnamoyl)]--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)-[-D-xylopyranosyl-(12)-]-D-galactopyranosylcyanidin (7), 3-O-[(6-O-sinapoyl)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-galactopyranosyl]cyanidin (8), and 3-O-(-D-galactopyranosyl)cyanidin (9). Except when cinnamic acids were provided in the culture medium, the major anthocyanin present in the two clones examined was 2. When the naturally occurring and some non-naturally occurring cinnamic acids were provided individually in the medium, 1 and 2 were minor components and the anthocyanin acylated with the supplied cinnamic acid, namely 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 was the major anthocyanin present in the tissue. When caffeic acid was provided the major anthocyanin in the tissue was 4, thereby suggesting that the caffeic acid was methylated before its use in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Other cinnamic acids supplied had limited effects on the anthocyanins accumulated and appeared not to result in the accumulation of new anthocyanins by the tissue. Thus the tissue can use some but not all analogues of sinapic acid to acylate anthocyanins. Additional anthocyanins were detected in extracts of the wild carrot tissue cultures using mass spectrometry (both MS/MS and HPLC/MS). The additional compounds detected have also been found in cultures of black carrot, an Afghan cultivar of Daucus carota ssp. sativa and the flowers of wild carrot giving no evidence for qualitative differences in the anthocyanins synthesized by subspecies, cell cultures from subspecies, or clones from cell cultures. There are major differences in the amounts of individual anthocyanins found in cultures from different subspecies and in different clones from cell cultures. Here anthocyanins without acyl groups were usually found in the tissues and their accumulation is discussed. On the basis of the structures of the isolated anthocyanins, a likely pathway from cyanidin to the accumulated anthocyanins is proposed and discussed.Abbreviations Sin

Summary The eye lens-crystallins in cow and chicken are encoded by a family of at least six genes. In order to assess the distribution of the corresponding genes among other vertebrates we hybridized -crystallin sequences (A2, A3/A1, A4, B1, B2, B3), isolated from a bovine lens cDNA library, to Southern blots on whichEcoR1-digested chromosomal DNA was blotted from different vertebrate species. These included human, chimpanzee, calf, rat, pigeon, duck, monitor lizard, toad, trout, and lamprey. Positive hybridization signals were found in the representatives of virtually all classes of vertebrates. The basic B-crystallins gave hybridization signals in more species than the acidic A ones. In monitor lizard and toad the weakest hybridization signals for basic crystallin probes were found. For acidic crystallin probes the distribution pattern was more simple; among cold-blooded vertebrates a signal for A2 was found in trout and lamprey, for A4 in trout, and for A3/A1 only in toad. The results demonstrate that the duplications leading to the -crystallin gene family occurred before or during the earliest stages of vertebrate evolution. 相似文献

UDP-GlcNAc: Man3R 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-T I; EC 2.4.1.101) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of complex and hybrid N-glycans. Rat liver GlcNAc-T I has been purified more than 25,000-fold (M
r 42,000). TheV
max for the pure enzyme with [Man6(Man3)Man6](Man3)Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn as substrate was 4.6 µmol min–1 mg–1. Structural analysis of the enzyme product by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved that the enzyme adds anN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue in 1–2 linkage to the Man3Man-terminus of the substrate. Several derivatives of Man6(Man3)Man-R, a substrate for the enzyme, were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors. An unsubstituted equatorial 4-hydroxyl and an axial 2-hydroxyl on the -linked mannose of Man6(Man3)Man-R are essential for GlcNAc-T I activity. Elimination of the 4-hydroxyl of the 3-linked mannose (Man) of the substrate increases theK
M 20-fold. Modifications on the 6-linked mannose or on the core structure affect mainly theK
M and to a lesser degree theV
max, e.g., substitutions of the Man6 residue at the 2-position by GlcNAc or at the 3- and 6-positions by mannose lower theK
M, whereas various other substitutions at the 3-position increase theK
M slightly. Man6(Man3)4-O-methyl-Man4GlcNAc was found to be a weak inhibitor of GlcNAc-T I.Abbreviations BSA

The preparation of benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside, which is a key intermediate for chemical synthesis of oligosaccharide components of glycosphingolipids, was achieved by an improved method. The 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl and 3-O-methyl derivatives were prepared from benzyl 2,3,6,2,6-penta-O-benzyl--d-lactoside through stannylation. By using benzyl -d-lactoside as starting material, benzyl 3-O-methyl-, 3-O-benzyl- and 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl--d-lactoside were regioselectively synthesized using the same procedure. 相似文献

Summary In these experiments, a considerable range of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases were demonstrated in vertebrate hepatic tissue; 3, 3, 6, 11, 16, 16, 17 and 20 were consistently present.3 hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was fairly active in mammalian liver, but consistently greater activity was seen with the 3 dehydrogenases which are probably concerned with steroid detoxication and excretion. 6 and 11 hydroxysteroids were only moderately well used, and both these were noticeably better used in male tissue, as were also 3, 3, 16 and 16 hydroxysteroids. All mammalian liver utilised 16, 16 and 17 compounds fairly well, and 20 was consistently but poorly used.This histochemical evidence agrees with biochemical and clinical evidence for the significance and nature of steroid metabolism in the liver. Many of the enzymes showing activity in the liver have known function in the detoxication and elimination of steroids; and 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is concerned in cholesterol biosynthesis as well as the biosynthesis of progesterane. To have shown contrasting patterns of activity between liver and steroid producing endocrine tissues is further evidence for the specificity of these techniques in the study of dehydrogenase distribution. 相似文献

Liver homogenate-supernatants from most Japanese exhibit an atypical pH optimum for ethanol oxidation at pH 8.8 instead of 10.5, the typical pH-activity optimum. It has been proposed that atypical livers contain alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes with 2 subunits while typical livers contain isozymes with 1 subunits, both produced by the ADH
2 gene. Because it is difficult to differentiate the atypical ADH2 2-2 phenotype from the ADH2 2-1 phenotype by starch gel electrophoresis, an agarose isoelectric focusing procedure was developed that clearly separated the atypical Japanese livers into two groups, A1 and A2. The isozymes in A1 and A2 livers were purified. Type A1 livers contained a single isozyme with an atypical pH-rate profile; it was designated 22. Three isozymes were isolated from A2 livers, two of which corresponded to 11 and 22. A third, absent from the typical and the atypical A1 livers, had an intermediate mobility; it was designated 21. Type A1 livers are, therefore, the homozygous ADH2 2-2 phenotype, and type A2 livers, the heterozygous ADH2 2-1 phenotype. The ADH2 2-2 phenotype was found in 53% of 194 Japanese livers, and the ADH2 2-1 phenotype, in 31%. Accordingly, the frequency of ADH

The primary structure of the bglA gene region encoding a -glucosidase of Thermotoga maritima strain MSB8 was determined. The bglA gene has the potential to code for a polypeptide of 446 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 51545 Da. The T, maritima -glucosidase (BglA) was overexpressed in E. coli at a level comprising approximately 15–20% of soluble cellular protein. Based on its amino acid sequence, as deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the gene, BglA can be classified as a broad-specificity -glucosidase and as a member of the -glucosidase family BGA, in agreement with the results of enzymatic characterization of the recombinant protein. Comparative sequence analysis revealed distant amino acid sequence similarities between BGA family -glucosidases, a -xylosidase, -1,4-glycanases of the enzyme family F (mostly xylanases), and other families of -1,4-glycosyl hydrolases. This result indicates that BGA -glucosidases may comprise one enzyme family within a large enzyme order of retaining -glycosyl hydrolases, and that the members of these enzyme groups may be inter-related at the level of active site architecture and perhaps even on the level of overall three-dimensional fold. 相似文献

The orientation behavior of walking flies, Drosophila melanogaster, towards a single 6° wide black vertical stripe (elementary stripe) can be explained by use of the turning tendency function H(). This function is characterized by maximal values at an angular distance of =25° from the stable zero position (=orienting direction), a sharp decline from this maximum to =60°, and a very slow approach to the unstable zero position (Horn and Wehner, 1975). The shape of this function is influenced by both translatory and rotatory components of movement. If the translatory component is minimized by measuring the turning function W() (see 2.3) at a distance of 10 mm (C1) from the center of the arena, a change in the strength of this decline is caused. But with increasing translatory component, i.e. at a greater distance from the center of the arena, W() approximates the heuristical function H() (Fig. 12). The turning functions W() are pattern-specific; the angular positions of the maximum responses shift to greater angles with increasing width of the patterns (Fig. 2). In the twopattern configuration with double or single stripes, there is always a coincidence between the stable zero positions of W
(), the mean of the frequency distributions P() of the flies' positions and n
g() of the straight courses, and the stable zero positions of H
() obtained from an additive superposition of two or more angular shifted turning tendency functions H() (Fig. 5, 7). Therefore, the mean positions of the flies in a multi-stripe experiment composed of elementary stripes can be predicted from the addition of many angular shifted turning tendency functions H(). Between H() and the frequency distribution P() of the flies' positions , the following formula holds: P() =C·H()d (Fig. 13). With this equation, the spontaneous preference of the broader of two double stripes can be explained presuming lateral interactions between the components of the patterns (Fig. 8, 10). The strength x

Summary The potential of-lactams as intermediates for the access to- and-amino acid-derived peptides is shortly reviewed, with major focus on the technologies developed in our group. The two general strategies lie, on one side, in the oxidative ring expansion of 3-hydroxy-lactams toN-carboxy-amino acid anhydrides or Leuch's anhydrides and subsequent coupling with-amino acid esters and, on the other side, in the nucleophilic ring opening ofN-Boc--lactams. Both approaches have been successfully applied to the synthesis of,-diamino acid,-amino--hydroxy acid, polyhydroxylated-amino acid,,-disubstituted-amino acid,-amino acid,-amino--hydroxy acid and,-disubstituted-amino acid derived peptides. Because of the mild reaction conditions needed for the above transformations and the highly stereoselective procedures employed for the construction of the starting-lactam ring, the whole process allows the production of optically pure final products. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Pantothensäurebedürftige Hefezellen können ihren Bedarf an diesem Vitamin nicht allein aus -Alanin decken, sondern auch aus Benzoyl--Alanin, -Alanyl-d,l-Norleucin und -Alanyl-l-Histidin. Der Antagonist Asparagin hemmt die Verwertung dieser Peptide genauso wie diejenige der freien Aminosäure. Durch höhere Konzentrationen an -Alanin oder -Alanyl-d,l-Norleucin läßt sich die Hemmwirkung nicht allein kompensieren, es kommt sogar zu einer Förderung des Hefewachstums. Der Antagonist wird dann zum Synergisten.
Summary The -alanine containing peptides benzoyl--alanine, -alanyl-d,l-norleucine and -alanyl-l-histidine can substitute for the amino acid -alanine in a pantothenic acid requiring yeast. Asparagine, an antagonist of -alanine, affects these peptides in a similar manner. In combination with an overdose of -alanine or -alanyl-d,l-norleucine, asparagine is no longer an antagonist but becomes a synergist.相似文献

For the structural analysis of the carbohydrate chains ofN-,O-glycoproteins a straightforward strategy was developed based on the cleavage of theN-linked chains with immobilized peptide-N
4-(N-acetyl--glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase-F (PN-Gase-F) fromFlavobacterium meningosepticum, followed by alkaline borohydride treatment of the remainingO-glycoprotein material. This methodology was applied to the isolation of the Asn- and Ser-linked carbohydrate chains of human chorionic gonadotrophin. The structures of the isolated oligosaccharides were verified by 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy. The Asn-linked sugar chains were shown to be: NeuAc2-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man1-6[NeuAc2-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man1-3]Man 1-4GlcNAc1-4[Fuc1-6]0-1GlcNAc and Man1-6[NeuAc2-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man 1-3]Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc. Also some minor constituents occurred. The structures of the Ser-linked oligosaccharides were established in the form of their oligosaccharide-alditols as: NeuAc2-3Gal1-3[NeuAc2-6]GalNAc, NeuAc2-3Gal 1-3GalNAc and NeuAc2-3Gal1-3[NeuAc2-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6]GalNAc.Abbreviations hCG

Summary Two specific -N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases involved in the branching and elongation of mucin oligosaccharide chains, namely, a 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminylsaminyltransferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3GalNAc-Mucin to yield Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin and a 3-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase that transfers N-acetylglucosamine from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc-mucin to yield GlcNAc3Gal3 (GlcNAc6)GalNAc-Mucin were purified from the microsomal fraction of swine trachea epithelium. The 1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase was purified about 21,800-fold by procedures which included affinity chromatography on DEAE columns containing bound asialo Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein with Gal1,3GalNAc side chains. The apparent molecular weight estimated by gel filtration was found to be about 60 Kd. The purified enzyme showed a high specificity for Gal1,3GalNAc chains and the most active substrates were mucin glycoproteins containing these chains. The apparent Km of the 6-glucosaminyltrans-ferase for Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3GalNAc chains was 0.53 µM; for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, 12 µM; and for Gal 1,3GalNAc NO2ø, 4 mM. The activity of the 6-glucosaminyltransferase was dependent on the extent of glycosylation of the Gal3GalNAc chains in Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein.The best substrate for the partially purified 3-Glucosaminyltransferase was Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein containing Gal1,3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc side chains. This enzyme showed little or no activity with intact sialylated Cowper's gland mucin glycoprotein or derivatives of this glycoprotein containing GalNAc or Gal1,3GalNAc side chains.The radioactive oligosaccharides formed by these enzymes in large scale reaction mixtures were released from the mucin glycoproteins by treatment with alkaline borohydride, isolated by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-6 and characterized by methylation analysis and sequential digestion with exoglycosidases. The oligosaccharide products formed by the 6- and 3-glucosaminyltransferases were shown to be Gal3(GlcNAC6) GalNAc and GlcNAc3 Gal3(GlcNAC6)GalNAc respectively.Taken collectively, these results demonstrate that swine trachea epithelium contains two specific N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases which catalyze the initial branching and elongation reactions involved in the synthesis of O-linked oligosaccharide chains in respiratory mucin glycoproteins. The first enzyme a 6-glucosaminyltransferase converts Gal3GalNAc chains in mucin glycoproteins to Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains. This product is the substrate for a second 3-glucosaminyltransferase which converts the Gal3(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains to GlcNAc3Gal(GlcNAc6)GalNAc chains in the glycoprotein. The 3-glucosaminyltransferase did not utilize Gal3GalNAc chains as a substrate and this results in an ordered sequence of addition of N-acetylglucosamine residues to growing oligosaccharide chains in tracheal mucin glycoproteins.Abbreviations NeuNAc

Summary Dehydrocholic acid (3,7,12-trioxo-5-cholanic acid) (0.5% concentration) was completely and selectively reduced to 12-ketoursodeoxycholic acid (3, 7-dihydroxy-12-oxo- 5-cholanic acid) in a membrane reactor by means of 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 7-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Coenzyme regeneration was carried out with the glucose-glucose dehydrogenase system. 相似文献
