The conditions of obtaining [14C] acetylated pectic acid with a high specific activity are presented. On the basis of radioisotope measurements of the liberated, labelled acetic acid, the activity of deacetylase associated with the ViI, ViII and ViIII phage particle was determined. It has been shown that acetylated pectic acid is a substrate for the enzyme of those phages. The conditions of identifying the deacetylase are presented; it has been shown that the activity of Vi phage II enzyme is repressed by the phosphate buffer. In a system analogous to the one used for the Vipolysaccharide, the receptor activity of the acetylated pectic acid can not be shown. 相似文献

The products of the rhizobial nodulation genes are involved in the biosynthesis of lipochitin oligosaccharides (LCOs), which are host-specific signal molecules required for nodule formation. The presence of an O-acetyl group on C-6 of the nonreducing N-acetylglucosamine residue of LCOs is due to the enzymatic activity of NodL. Here we show that transfer of the nodL gene into four rhizobial species that all normally produce LCOs that are not modified on C-6 of the nonreducing terminal residue results in production of LCOs, the majority of which have an acetyl residue substituted on C-6. Surprisingly, in transconjugant strains of Mesorhizobium loti, Rhizobium etli, and Rhizobium tropici carrying nodL, such acetylation of LCOs prevents the endogenous nodS-dependent transfer of the N-methyl group that is found as a substituent of the acylated nitrogen atom. To study this interference between nodL and nodS, we have cloned the nodS gene of M. loti and used its product in in vitro experiments in combination with purified NodL protein. It has previously been shown that a chitooligosaccharide N deacetylated on the nonreducing terminus (the so-called NodBC metabolite) is the preferred substrate for NodS as well as for NodL. Here we show that the NodBC metabolite, acetylated by NodL, is not used by the NodS protein as a substrate while the NodL protein can acetylate the NodBC metabolite that has been methylated by NodS. 相似文献

Substrate specificity and kinetic mechanism of the Sir2 family of NAD+-dependent histone/protein deacetylases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The Silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) family of enzymes consists of NAD(+)-dependent histone/protein deacetylases that tightly couple the hydrolysis of NAD(+) and the deacetylation of an acetylated substrate to form nicotinamide, the deacetylated product, and the novel metabolite O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPR). In this paper, we analyzed the substrate specificity of the yeast Sir2 (ySir2), the yeast HST2, and the human SIRT2 homologues toward various monoacetylated histone H3 and H4 peptides, determined the basic kinetic mechanism, and resolved individual chemical steps of the Sir2 reaction. Using steady-state kinetic analysis, we have shown that ySir2, HST2, and SIRT2 exhibit varying catalytic efficiencies and display a preference among the monoacetylated peptide substrates. Bisubstrate kinetic analysis indicates that Sir2 enzymes follow a sequential mechanism, where both the acetylated substrate and NAD(+) must bind to form a ternary complex, prior to any catalytic step. Using rapid-kinetic analysis, we have shown that after ternary complex formation, nicotinamide cleavage occurs first, followed by the transfer of the acetyl group from the donor substrate to the ADP-ribose portion of NAD(+) to form OAADPr and the deacetylated product. Product and dead-end inhibition analyses revealed that nicotinamide is the first product released followed by random release of OAADPr and the deacetylated product. 相似文献

The Sir2 family of histone/protein deacetylases (sirtuins) is comprised of homologues found across all kingdoms of life. These enzymes catalyse a unique reaction in which NAD+ and acetylated substrate are converted into deacetylated product, nicotinamide, and a novel metabolite O-acetyl ADP-ribose. Although the catalytic mechanism is well conserved across Sir2 family members, sirtuins display differential specificity toward acetylated substrates, which translates into an expanding range of physiological functions. These roles include control of gene expression, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, metabolism and ageing. The dependence of sirtuin activity on NAD+ has spearheaded investigations into how these enzymes respond to metabolic signals, such as caloric restriction. In addition, NAD+ metabolites and NAD+ salvage pathway enzymes regulate sirtuin activity, supporting a link between deacetylation of target proteins and metabolic pathways. Apart from physiological regulators, forward chemical genetics and high-throughput activity screening has been used to identify sirtuin inhibitors and activators. This review focuses on small molecule regulators that control the activity and functions of this unusual family of protein deacetylases. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of starch was investigated in the reaction catalyzed by plant alpha(1 leads to 4)-glucan phosphorylase using alpha-D-glucopyranosyl phosphate and its deoxy analogues as substrates. It was found that the hydroxyl groups at the positions C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-6 in the glucose moiety of the molecule of alpha-D-glucopyranosyl phosphate are not essential for its substrate properties in the transglycosylic reaction. The affinity of plant (alpha(1 leads to 4)-glucan phosphorylase and the rate of hexose incorporation into alpha(1 leads to 4)-glucan decreases in the following sequence: alpha-D-glucopyranosyl phos-phosphate, 2-deoxy-, 6-deoxy, 4-deoxy, and 3-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl phosphate. The deoxyglucosyl analogues of alpha-D-glucosylpyranosyl phosphate act as competitive inhibitors on the elongation reaction of the alpha(1 leads to 4) chains of starch. It was found that more than one residue of 2-deoxy-D-glucose or 6-deoxy-D-glucose can be incorporated into the nonreducing terminus of alpha(1 leads to 4)-glucan chains of starch. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of sialate 9(4)-O-acetylesterase from influenza C virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An esterase was isolated from influenza C virus with a specific activity from 1.7-5 U/mg protein, and its substrate specificity was tested with various naturally occurring O-acylated sialic acids, synthetic carbohydrate acetates, and other esters. The enzyme hydrolyses only acetic acid esters at significant rates. The non-natural substrates 4-methyl-umbelliferyl acetate, 4-nitrophenyl acetate, and alpha-naphthyl acetate are cleaved at highest hydrolysis rates, followed by the natural substrate N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid. The esterase also acts on N-glycoloyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid and, much slower, on N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminic acid; N-acetyl-7-O-acetylneuraminic acid is not hydrolysed. 2-Deoxy-2,3-didehydro-N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid is also a substrate for this enzyme, however, 6-O-acetylated N-acetylmannosamine and glucose are not. Esterification of the carboxyl function of sialic acids strongly reduces or prevents esterase action on O-acetyl groups. The carboxyl ester is not hydrolysed. The relative cleavage rates also depend on the type of the non-sialic acid part of the molecule. N-Acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid as component of sialyllactose and rat serum glycoprotein shows hydrolysis rates close to the free form of this sugar, while acetyl ester groups of bovine submandibular gland mucin and rat erythrocytes are hydrolysed at slower rates. Gangliosides and 4-O-acetylated glycoproteins are no substrates for the purified enzyme. A slow hydrolysis is observed by incubation of 9-O-acetylated GD1a with intact influenza C viruses. As other natural acetyl esters (acetyl-CoA and acetylthiocholine iodide) are not hydrolysed, the enzyme can be classified as sialate 9(4)-O-acetylesterase (EC 3.1.1.53). 相似文献

1. O-Acetylated polysaccharides were obtained from green wood of both sweet chestnut and wych elm by treatment of the residue remaining after dimethyl sulphoxide extraction with water at 98 degrees . This gives a mixture of polysaccharides containing xylose, galactose, glucose and uronic acids. Analysis of these and their fractionated products suggest that only xylans in green sweet chestnut and green wych elm are O-acetylated. 2. The isolated O-acetylated xylans are not representative of the total O-acetylated xylans occurring in sweet chestnut and wych elm. 3. Application of the method developed by Bouveng for the location of O-acetyl groups to all four O-acetylated xylans obtained in this series of investigations by dimethyl sulphoxide extraction showed that those from sweet chestnut and wych elm, under the same conditions of incubation, lost: 74.2 and 43.4% of acetyl groups respectively, at C-2; 58.0 and 28.5% of acetyl groups respectively at C-3; 41.8 and 82.2% of acetyl groups respectively at C-2 and C-3. 4. A consideration of electronic and steric factors indicates that there does not appear to be a purely chemical reason for the difference in loss of O-acetyl groups between sweet chestnut and wych elm. It is suggested that the location of O-acetylated xylans in the wood cell walls and the presence of extractive may play some part in this difference. 相似文献

Sugar recognition specificities of class III (OsChib1a) and class I (OsChia1cDeltaChBD) chitinases from rice, Oryza sativa L., were investigated by analyzing (1)H- and (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the enzymatic products from partially N-acetylated chitosans. The reducing end residue of the enzymatic products obtained by the class III enzyme was found to be exclusively acetylated, whereas both acetylated and deacetylated units were found at the nearest neighbor to the reducing end residue. Both acetylated and deacetylated units were also found at the nonreducing end residue and its nearest neighbor of the class III enzyme products. Thus, only subsite (-1) among the contiguous subsites (-2) to (+2) of the class III enzyme was found to be specific to an acetylated residue. For the class I enzyme, the reducing end residue was preferentially acetylated, although the specificity was not absolute. The nearest neighbor to the acetylated reducing end residue was specifically acetylated. Moreover, the nonreducing end residue produced by the class I enzyme was exclusively acetylated, although there was a low but significant preference for deacetylated units at the nearest neighbor to the nonreducing end. These results suggest that the three contiguous subsites (-2), (-1), and (+1) of the class I enzyme are specific to three consecutive GlcNAc residues of the substrate. In rice plants, the target of the class I enzyme might be a consecutive GlcNAc sequence probably in the cell wall of fungal pathogen, whereas the class III enzyme might act toward an endogenous complex carbohydrate containing GlcNAc residue. 相似文献

Chitooligosaccharides (CHOS) are oligomers composed of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine with several interesting bioactivities that can be produced from enzymatic cleavage of chitosans. By controlling the degree of acetylation of the substrate chitosan, the enzyme, and the extent of enzyme degradation, CHOS preparations with limited variation in length and sequence can be produced. We here report on the degradation of chitosans with a novel family 75 chitosanase, SaCsn75A from Streptomyces avermitilis . By characterizing the CHOS preparations, we have obtained insight into the mode of action and subsite specificities of the enzyme. The degradation of a fully deacetylated and a 31% acetylated chitosan revealed that the enzyme degrade these substrates according to a nonprocessive, endo mode of action. With the 31% acetylated chitosan as substrate, the kinetics of the degradation showed an initial rapid phase, followed by a second slower phase. In the initial faster phase, an acetylated unit (A) is productively bound in subsite -1, whereas deacetylated units (D) are bound in the -2 subsite and the +1 subsite. In the slower second phase, D-units bind productively in the -1 subsite, probably with both acetylated and deacetylated units in the -2 subsite, but still with an absolute preference for deacetylated units in the +1 subsite. CHOS produced in the initial phase are composed of deacetylated units with an acetylated reducing end. In the slower second phase, higher amounts of low DP fully deacetylated oligomers (dimer and trimer) are produced, while the higher DP oligomers are dominated by compounds with acetylated reducing ends containing increasing amounts of internal acetylated units. The degradation of chitosans with varying degrees of acetylation to maximum extents of degradation showed that increasingly longer oligomers are produced with increasing degree of acetylation, and that the longer oligomers contain sequences of consecutive acetylated units interspaced by single deacetylated units. The catalytic properties of SaCsn75A differ from the properties of a previously characterized family 46 chitosanase from S. coelicolor (ScCsn46A). 相似文献

The evidences for the possible enzymatic transfer of acetyl groups (catalyzed by a transacetylase localized in microsomes) from an acetylated compound (acetoxy-4-methylcoumarins) to enzyme proteins leading to profound modulation of their catalytic activities was cited in our earlier publications in this series. The investigations on the specificity for transacetylase (TA) with respect to the number and positions of acetoxy groups on the benzenoid ring of coumarin molecule revealed that acetoxy groups in proximity to the oxygen heteroatom (at C-7 and C-8 positions) demonstrate a high degree of specificity to TA. These studies were extended to the action of TA on acetates of other polyphenols, such as flavonoids and catechin with a view to establish the importance of pyran carbonyl group for the catalytic activity. The absolute requirement of the carbonyl group in the pyran ring of the substrate for TA to function was established by the observation that TA activity was hardly discernible when catechin pentacetate and 7-acetoxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzopyran (both lacking pyran ring carbonyl group) were used as the substrates. Further, the TA activity with flavonoid acetates was remarkably lower than that with acetoxycoumarins, thus suggesting the specificity for pyran carbonyl group in proximity to the oxygen heteroatom. The biochemical properties of flavonoid acetates, such as irreversible activation of NADPH cytochrome C reductase and microsome-catalyzed aflatoxin B1 binding to DNA in vitro were found to be in tune with their specificity to TA. 相似文献

Attempts were made to elucidate the acetyl transformation of novel trichothecene mycotoxins, 3a,7a,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one (deoxynivalenol) and its derivatives, by trichothecene-producing strains of Fusarium nivale, F. roseum, and F. solani. In the peptone-supplemented Czapek-Dox medium, F. roseum converted 3a-acetoxy-7a,15-dihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one (3-acetyldeoxynivalenol) to deoxynivalenol. 3-Acetyldeoxynivalenol was also deacetylated by intact mycelia of the three strains in sugar-free Czapek-Dox medium. The growing F. nivale acetylated deoxynivalenol to afford a small amount of 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol. 3a,7a,15-Triacetoxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one (7,15-diacetyl-deoxynivalenol), which was then deacetylated to give 7a-acetoxy-3a,15-dihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one (7-acetyldeoxynivalenol). It was noted that the ester at C-7 was not hydrolyzed by the fungal mycelium. 相似文献

SIR2 is a key regulator of the aging process in many model organisms. The human ortholog SIRT1 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cellular differentiation, metabolism, cell cycle, and apoptosis. SIRT1 is an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, and its enzymatic activity may be regulated by cellular energy. There is a growing number of known SIRT1 substrates that contain epsilon-acetyl lysine but for which no obvious consensus sequence has been defined. In this study, we developed a novel unbiased method to identify deacetylase sequence specificity using oriented peptide libraries containing acetylated lysine. Following incubation with SIRT1, the subset of deacetylated peptides was selectively captured using a photocleavable N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-biotin linker and streptavidin beads and analyzed using mass spectrometry and Edman degradation. These studies revealed that substrate recognition by SIRT1 does not depend on the amino acid sequence proximate to the acetylated lysine. This result brings us one step closer to understanding how SIRT1 and possibly other protein deacetylases chose their substrate. 相似文献

Some bacteriophages target potentially pathogenic bacteria by exploiting surface-associated virulence factors as receptors. For example, phage have been identified that exhibit specificity for Vi capsule producing Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Here we have characterized the Vi-associated E1-typing bacteriophage using a number of molecular approaches. The absolute requirement for Vi capsule expression for infectivity was demonstrated using different Vi-negative S. enterica derivatives. The phage particles were shown to have an icosahedral head and a long noncontractile tail structure. The genome is 45,362 bp in length with defined capsid and tail regions that exhibit significant homology to the S. enterica transducing phage ES18. Mass spectrometry was used to confirm the presence of a number of hypothetical proteins in the Vi phage E1 particle and demonstrate that a number of phage proteins are modified posttranslationally. The genome of the Vi phage E1 is significantly related to other bacteriophages belonging to the same serovar Typhi phage-typing set, and we demonstrate a role for phage DNA modification in determining host specificity. 相似文献

A novel, high-throughput method for determining deacetylase substrate specificity was developed using a one-bead, one-compound (OBOC) acetyl-peptide library with a quantum dot tagging strategy and automated bead-sorting. A 5-mer OBOC peptide library of 104,907 unique sequences was constructed around a central epsilon-amino acetylated lysine. The library was screened using the human NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 for the most efficiently deacetylated peptide sequences. Beads preferentially deacetylated by SIRT1 were biotinylated and labeled with streptavidin-coated quantum dots. After fluorescent bead-sorting, the top 39 brightest beads were sequenced by mass spectrometry. In-solution deacetylase assays on randomly chosen hit and nonhit sequences revealed that hits correlated with increased catalytic activity by as much as 20-fold. We found that SIRT1 can discriminate peptide substrates in a context-dependent fashion. 相似文献

Specificity of substrate recognition in lactose permease is directed toward the galactosyl moiety of lactose. In this study, binding of 31 structural analogues of D-galactose was examined by site-directed N-[(14)C]ethylmaleimide-labeling of the substrate-protectable Cys148 in the binding site. Alkylation of Cys148 is blocked by D-galactose with an apparent affinity of approximately 30 mM. Epimers of D-galactose at C-3 (D-gulose) and C-4 (D-glucose) or deoxy derivatives at these positions exhibit no binding whatsoever, indicating that these OH groups participate in essential interactions. Interestingly, the C-2 epimer alpha-D-talose binds almost as well as D-galactose, while 2-deoxy-D-galactose affords no substrate protection, indicating that nonstereospecific H-bonding at C-2 is required for stable binding. No substrate protection is detected with D-fucose, L-arabinose, 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose, 6-O-methyl-D-galactose, or D-galacturonic acid, suggesting that the C-6 OH is an essential H-bond donor. Both alpha- and beta-methyl D-galactopyranosides bind more strongly than galactose, supporting the notion that the cyclic pyranose conformation is the bound form and that the anomeric configuration at C-1 does not contribute to substrate specificity. However, methyl or allyl alpha-D-galactopyranosides exhibit 60-fold lower apparent K(d)'s than D-galactose, demonstrating that binding affinity is significantly influenced by the functional group at C-1 and its orientation. Taken together, the observations confirm and extend the current binding site model [Venkatesan, P., and Kaback, H. R. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95, 9802-9807] and indicate that specificity toward galactopyranosides is governed by H-bonding interactions at C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-6 OH groups, while binding affinity can be increased dramatically by hydrophobic interactions with the nongalactosyl moiety. 相似文献

The NAD-dependent deacetylases are a new class of enzymes responsible for the removal of acetyl groups from lysines on proteins. Instead of water, the NAD-dependent deacetylases use a highly reactive ADP-ribose intermediate as a recipient for the acetyl group. The products of the reaction are nicotinamide, acetyl-ADP-ribose, and a deacetylated substrate. Many assays have been developed for the measurement of NAD-dependent deacetylase activity. In this review we present assays based on each of the two reactions catalyzed by these enzymes, deacetylation and NAD hydrolysis. First we describe methods for the production of acetylated protein and peptide substrates for use in deacetylation reactions. Then we describe four methods for assaying deacetylation, three of which directly measure the loss of acetyl groups from a protein or peptide substrate, and one that measures acetate production. We also describe two indirect methods for following enzyme activity, NAD hydrolysis and a novel NAD-nicotinamide exchange reaction. Finally, a quantitative method using a monoacetylated peptide as a substrate and HPLC to measure products is described. 相似文献

Modifications in cell wall pectic polysaccharides are thought to influence cell-cell adhesion and the mechanical properties of plant tissues. Monoclonal antibodies to epitopes occurring in homo- galacturonan and side chains of rhamnogalacturonan I have been used in an immunolocalization study of cell wall architecture of developing pea cotyledons. Pectic (1-->4)-beta-D-galactan appears in cotyledon cell walls at a defined stage late in development (approximately 26-30 days after anthesis), whereas homogalacturonan and pectic (1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinan are present in cotyledon cell walls throughout development. (1-->4)-beta-galactan was restricted to a distinct thin layer at the plasma membrane face of the cell wall. Anion exchange and immunoaffinity chromatography indicated that the (1-->4)-beta-galactan was associated with acidic pectic components. Mechanical compressive testing of pea cotyledons, before and after (1-->4)-beta-galactan appearance, indicated that the cotyledons with the galactan-rich cell wall layer were twice as firm as those with no detectable (1-->4)-beta-galactan. 相似文献

Alpha-cyclosophorotridecaose (alpha-C13) produced by Ralstonia solanacearum is isolated by trichloroacetic acid treatment and subjected to various chromatographic techniques. Here, we report for the first time that R. solanacearum produces acetylated alpha-C13. Structural analyses of the acetylated alpha-C13 were performed with 1D or 2D NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF MS and HPLC. The results show that the alpha-C13 is substituted by mainly one acetyl residue at the C-6 position of the glucose unit. 相似文献
