The preceding paper in this journal has reported that pyruvate could be substituted for 2-oxo-glutarate as a substrate of saccharopine dehydrogenase [epsilon-N-(L-glutaryl-2)-L-lysine:NAD oxidoreductase (L-lysine-forming) in the direction of reductive condensation. In the present communication, the kinetic mechanism of saccharopine dehydrogenase reaction with NADH, L-lysine and pyruvate as reactants is reported. The results of initial velocity study, inhibition studies with lysine analogs and a reaction product, NAD+, are consistent with an ordered mechanism with the coenzyme binding first and pyruvate last. The reaction mechanism is at variance with that of the normal reaction in which 2-oxoglutarate is the substrate, in that the order of addition of the amino and oxo acid substrates is reversed. This fact suggests that there exists a small degree of randomness in the binding of amino and oxo acid substrates. From a product inhibition study, NAD+ was shown to be the last reactant released. Saccharopine [epsilon-N-(L-glutaryl-2)-L-lysine] was found to act as a potent dead-end inhibitor of the condensation reactions (of lysine and 2-oxoglutarate, and of lysine and pyruvate) by forming an abortive E. NADH. saccharopine complex.  相似文献

Determination of biocytin   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Biocytin (epsilon-N-[d-biotinyl]-L-lysine) is generally undetected in serum and other body fluids of normal healthy individuals in view of the ubiquitous distribution of biotinidase. It has been suggested that biocytin may be present in serum and urine of patients with inherited biotinidase deficiency. We have developed a noncompetitive assay for biocytin based on its interaction with avidin. Biocytin can be determined in biological samples containing both biotin and biocytin. Biotin from such samples is removed by an anion-exchange resin and the biocytin is determined by the avidin-binding assay. The effect of above-normal levels of biotin in the sample on the assay of biocytin is discussed.  相似文献

The stereochemistry of the decarboxylation of meso-alpha,epsilon-diaminopimelate catalyzed by meso-alpha,epsilon-diaminopimelate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.20) of Bacillus sphaericus was determined by stereochemical analyses of [6-2H]-L-lysine produced by the reaction in D2O. The product [6-2H]-L-lysine was converted to levorotatory methyl 5-phthalimido[5-2H]valerate by the reactions not affecting the absolute configuration of the asymmetric carbon atom. By contrast, methyl 5-phthalimido[5-2H]valerate derived from [2,6-2H2]-L-lysine, which was produced from [2,6-2H2]diaminopimelate by decarboxylation in H2O, was dextrorotatory. The authentic methyl (R)-5-phthalimido[5-2H]valerate prepared from L-glutamate with glutamate decarboxylase was levorotatory. These results indicate that the meso-alpha,epsilon-diaminopimelate decarboxylase reaction proceeds in an inversion mode. The deuterium label in [6-2H]-L-lysine was fully conserved during the conversion into pelletierine through [1-2H]cadaverine by the stereospecific diamine oxidase reaction. Thus, the enzymatic decarboxylation of meso-alpha,epsilon-diaminopimelate occurs with inversion of configuration in contrast to the other amino acid decarboxylase reported so far.  相似文献

Treatment of N(alpha)-Cbz-N(epsilon)-(2-hydroxyethylaminothiocarbonyl)-L-lysine N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amide with boiling hydrochloric acid gave N(epsilon)-(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)-L-lysine. This was a weak and non-isoform selective inhibitor of NOS, whereas N(epsilon)-aminothiocarbonyl-L-lysine and its methyl ester were potent, with IC(50)=13 and 18 microM, respectively, against human iNOS and IC(50)=3 and 8 microM, respectively, against rat nNOS. Time dependence was observed for inhibition of nNOS by the ester.  相似文献

Covalently cross-linked proteins are among the major modifications caused by the advanced Maillard reaction. So far, the chemical nature of these aggregates is largely unknown. L-dehydroascorbic acid (DHA, 5), the oxidation product of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), is known as a potent glycation agent. Identification is reported for the lysine-arginine cross-links N6-[2-[(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)amino]-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ylidene]-L-lysine (9), N6-[2-[(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)amino]-5-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ylidene]-L-lysine (11), and N6-[2-[(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)amino]-5-[(1S,2S)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl]-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ylidene]-L-lysine (13). The formation pathways could be established starting from dehydroascorbic acid (5), the degradation products 1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one (7, L-erythrulose), 3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxobutanal (10, L-threosone), and L-threo-pentos-2-ulose (12, L-xylosone) were proven as precursors of the lysine-arginine cross-links 9, 11, and 13. Products 9 and 11 were synthesized starting from DHA 5, compound N6-[2-[(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)amino]-5-[(1S,2R)-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl]-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ylidene]-L-lysine (16) via the precursor D-erythro-pentos-2-ulose (15). The present study revealed that the modification of lysine and arginine side chains by DHA 5 is a complex process and could involve a number of reactive carbonyl species.  相似文献

The O-specific polysaccharide was isolated by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of the marine bacterium Shewanella fidelis type strain KMM 3582T and studied by sugar analysis along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy including one-dimensional NOE in difference mode and two-dimensional experiments. The polysaccharide was found to consist of linear tetrasaccharide repeating units containing Nepsilon-[(S)-1-carboxyethyl]-Nalpha-(D-galacturonoyl)-L-lysine and having the following structure: [See text.] The amide of D-galacturonic acid with Nepsilon-[(S)-1-carboxyethyl]-L-lysine ('alaninolysine', 2S,8S-AlaLys) was found for the first time in nature as a component of the O-specific polysaccharide of Providencia rustigianii O14 (Carbohydr. Res. 2003, 338, 1009-1016).  相似文献

Covalently cross-linked proteins are among the major modifications caused by the advanced Maillard reaction. In the present study, the formation pathway of the dideoxyosone N6-(2,3-dihydroxy-5,6-dioxohexyl)-L-lysine is shown. To elucidate the formation of this glucose-derived dideoxyosone D-lactose (O-beta-D-galp-(1-->4)-D-glcp) and D-glucose-6-phosphate were incubated with lysine in the presence of the trapping reagent o-phenylenediamine (OPD). Synthesis and unequivocal structural characterization were reported for the quinoxalines of the dideoxyosones N6-(5,6-dihydroxy-2,3-dioxohexyl)-L-lysine and N6-(2,3-dihydroxy-4,5-dioxohexyl)-L-lysine, respectively. Additionally, dicarbonyl compounds derived from D-erythrose, D-glycero-D-mannoheptose, and D-gluco-L-talooctose were synthesized and structurally characterized.  相似文献

Useful methodologies have been developed, enabling the straightforward synthesis of peptides containing N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)-L-lysine (CML) and N(epsilon)-(carboxyethyl)-L-lysine (CEL), the major glycation end-products of lysine. These lysine derivatives were successfully incorporated into growing peptide chains via standard Fmoc/Ot-Bu peptide synthesis procedures. For the synthesis of peptides containing major glycation end-products of arginine, synthetic routes have been developed enabling the transformation of ornithine residues in peptides into the well-known arginine-derived advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) Glarg, carboxymethyl-L-arginine (CMA), MG-H1, MG-H2, MG-H3, and carboxyethyl-L-arginine (CEA), respectively, by means of special modifying agents. Furthermore, it was shown that Glarg-containing peptides become quantitatively hydrolyzed into CMA-peptides under physiologic conditions. A similar reaction was observed in case of a MG-H3-peptide, which turned into a CEA-peptide under these conditions.  相似文献

The O-specific polysaccharide of Providencia rustigianii O14 was obtained by mild acid degradation of the LPS and studied by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy, including 2D 1H,(1)H COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, and 1H,(13)C HSQC experiments. The polysaccharide was found to contain N (epsilon)-[(S)-1-carboxyethyl]-N(alpha)-(D-galacturonoyl)-L-lysine ('alaninolysine', 2S,8S-AlaLys). The amino acid component was isolated by acid hydrolysis and identified by 13C NMR spectroscopy and specific optical rotation, using synthetic diastereomers for comparison. The following structure of the trisaccharide repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established:Anti-P. rustigianii O14 serum was found to cross-react with O-specific polysaccharides of Providencia and Proteus strains that contains amides of uronic acid with N(epsilon)-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-L-lysine and L-lysine.  相似文献

Besides the formation of the aminotriazine N6-[4-(3-amino-1,2,4-triazin-5-yl)-2,3-dihydroxybutyl]-L-lysine, the reaction of [1-13C]D-glucose with lysine and aminoguanidine leads to the generation of 6-[2-([[amino(imino)methyl]hydrazono]methyl)pyridinium-1-yl]-L-norleucine (14-13C1). The dideoxyosone N6-(2,3-dihydroxy-5,6-dioxohexyl)-L-lysine was shown to be a precursor in the formation of 14-13C1, which proceeds via the reactive carbonyl intermediate 6-(2-formylpyridinium-1-yl)-L-norleucine (13-13C1). In order to study the reactivity of 13-13C1, the model compound 1-butyl-2-formylpyridinium (18) was prepared in a two-step procedure starting from 2-pyridinemethanol. The reaction of the pyridinium-carbaldehyde 18 with L-lysine yielded the Strecker analogous degradation product 2-(aminomethyl)-1-butylpyridinium and another compound, which was shown to be as 1-butyl-2-[(2-oxopiperidin-3-ylidene)methyl]pyridinium. Reaction of 18 with the C-H acidic 4-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3(2H)-one leads to the formation of the condensation product 1-butyl-2-[hydroxy-(4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-oxofuran-2(3H)-ylidene)methyl]-pyridinium.  相似文献

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a fluorescent analogue of folic acid   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
A fluorescein derivative of the lysine analogue of folic acid, N alpha-pteroyl-N epilson-(4'-fluoresceinthiocarbamoyl)-L-lysine (PLF), was synthesized as a probe for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and a membrane folate binding protein (m-FBP). Excitation of PLF at 282 nm and at 497 nm gave a fluorescence emission maximum at 518 nm. Binding of PLF to human DHFR or human placental m-FBP results in approximately a 20-fold enhancement in the magnitude of the fluorescence emission, suggesting that the ligand interacts with a hydrophobic region on these proteins. Additional evidence suggests that an energy transfer may occur between the pteridine and the fluorescein moieties. PLF binds to the active site of human DHFR since methotrexate (MTX) competes stoichiometrically and the denatured enzyme in the presence of PLF did not exhibit fluorescent enhancement. The dissociation constant for the fluorescein derivative with respect to human DHFR is 115 nM as compared to 111 nM for folic acid. The Ki value for the competitive inhibition of human DHFR by the fluorescent analogue of folic acid is 2.0 microM compared to 0.48 microM for folic acid. PLF was reduced to N alpha-(7,8-dihydropteroyl)-N epilson-(4'-fluoresceinthiocarbamoyl)-L-lysine (H2PLF) and assayed by the enzymatic conversion to the tetrahydro derivative. The Km value for human DHFR for the dihydrofolate analogue is 2.0 microM. The KD value for H2PLF to human DHFR is 47 nM as compared to 44 nM for dihydrofolate. The KD values for both H2PLF and PLF indicate that the fluorescein moiety does not significantly affect folate binding in enzyme binary complexes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The stereospecificity of hydrogen transfer in the synthesis of saccharopine from alpha-ketoglutarate and L-lysine catalyzed by saccharopine dehydrogenase (N5-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine: NAD oxidoreductase (L-lysine-forming), EC 1.5.1.7) was examined by using [4A-3H]- and [4B-3H]NADH. The enzyme showed the A-stereospecificity. The NMR analysis of the saccharopine prepared with [4"A-2H]NADH revealed that the label was incorporated into the C-2 of the glutaryl moiety.  相似文献

N epsilon-Nitroso-N epsilon- [N'-(2-chloroethyl)carbamoyl]-L-lysine (I) and N epsilon- [N'-(2-chloroethyl)-N'-nitrosocarbamoyl]-L-lysine (II), the isomers being the constituents of antitumor agent Lysomustine, were obtained by RFHPLC. The study of cytotoxicity of the above compounds against K562 cells showed that the lesions induced by isomer (II) produce a significant cytotoxic effect but can be efficiently repaired by the action of MGMT (O6-methylaguanine DNA methyltransferase). Under similar conditions, the lesions induced by isomer (I) produce substantially smaller effect but are weakly if at all repairable by MGMT. The effects of a clinically approved agent Lysomustine, which is the mixture of isomers (I) and (II), are similar to those of isomer (II). The results obtained point to a different chemical nature of DNA lesions induced by two Lysomustine isomers. Our data indicate that Lysomustine and its isomer (II) can be used for in vitro selection of cells expressing MGMT.  相似文献

Targeting of synthetically glycosylated human placental glucocerebrosidase   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Human placental beta-glucocerebrosidase modified by covalent attachment of N2-(N2, N6-bis [3-(alpha-D-mannopyranosylthio)propionyl]-L- lysyl)-N6-[3-(alpha-D-mannopyranosylthio)propionyl]-L-lysine was administered to rats by intravenous injection. Comparison of enzyme distribution in isolated liver cell populations indicates an increase in enzyme-specific activity of 18-fold in nonparenchymal cells and only 1.5-fold to hepatocytes compared to uninjected control animals. This macrophage-specific delivery of an active lysosomal enzyme has potential for application in enzyme replacement trials.  相似文献

[4S-(4I,7I,10aJ)]1-Octahydro-5-oxo-4-[phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-7H-pyrido-[2,1-b] [1,3]thiazepine-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (BMS-199541-01) is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of Omapatrilat (BMS-186716), a new vasopeptidease inhibitor under development. By using a selective enrichment culture technique we have isolated a strain of Sphingomonas paucimobilis SC 16113, which contains a novel L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase. This enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of the epsilon-amino group of lysine in the dipeptide dimer N(2)-[N[phenyl-methoxy)-carbonyl] L-homocysteinyl] L-lysine)1,1-disulphide (BMS-201391-01) to produce BMS-199541-01. The aminotransferase reaction required alpha-ketoglutarate as the amino acceptor. Glutamate formed during this reaction was recycled back to alpha-ketoglutarate by glutamate oxidase from Streptomyces noursei SC 6007. Fermentation processes were developed for growth of S. paucimobilis SC 16113 and S. noursei SC 6007 for the production of L-lysine epsilon-amino transferase and glutamate oxidase, respectively. L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase was purified to homogeneity and N-terminal and internal peptides sequences of the purified protein were determined. The mol wt of L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase is 81 000 Da and subunit size is 40 000 Da. L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase gene (lat gene) from S. paucimobilis SC 16113 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Glutamate oxidase was purified to homogeneity from S. noursei SC 6003. The mol wt of glutamate oxidase is 125 000 Da and subunit size is 60 000 Da. The glutamate oxiadase gene from S. noursei SC 6003 was cloned and expressed in Streptomyces lividans. The biotransformation process was developed for the conversion of BMS-201391-01 to BMS-199541-01 by using L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase expressed in E. coli. In the biotransformation process, for conversion of BMS-201391-01 (CBZ protecting group) to BMS-199541-01, a reaction yield of 65-70 M% was obtained depending upon reaction conditions used in the process. Phenylacetyl or phenoxyacetyl protected analogues of BMS-201391-01 also served as substrates for L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase giving reaction yields of 70 M% for the corresponding BMS-199541-01 analogs. Two other dipeptides N-[N[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-L-methionyl]-L-lysine (BMS-203528) and N,2-[S-acetyl-N-[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]-L-homocysteinyl]-L-lysine (BMS-204556) were also substrates for L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase. N-alpha-protected (CBZ or BOC)-L-lysine were also oxidized by L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase.  相似文献

A derivative of N(ε)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine with a photo-reactive diazirinyl group, N(ε)-[((4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)benzyl)oxy)carbonyl]-L-lysine, was site-specifically incorporated into target proteins in mammalian cells. The incorporated photo-crosslinker is able to react not only with residues as distant as about 15 ? but also with those in closer proximity, thus enabling "wide-range" photo-crosslinking of proteins.  相似文献

In growing cultures of Neurospora crassa lysine auxotroph 33933, (a) beta-hydroxy-epsilon-N-trimethyllysine and gamma-N-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde, postulated precursors of carnitine in the rat, effectively blocked synthesis of labeles carnitine from epsilon-N-[CH3-3H]trimethyllysine; and (b) beta-hydroxy-epsilon-N[CH3-3H[trimethyllysine and gamma-N-[CH3-3H]trimethylaminobutyraldehyde were effectively utilized for carnitine formation. From these isotopic experiments, the latter steps of carnitine synthesis in Neurospora are postulated to be epsilon-N-trimethyllysine leads to beta-hydroxy-epsilon-N-trimethyllysine leads to gamma-N-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde leads to gamma-butyrobetaine leads to carnitine.  相似文献

An amino acid was released from the O-specific polysaccharide of Proteus mirabilis O13 by acid hydrolysis and identified as N(epsilon)-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-L-lysine by comparison with the authentic sample. An amide of this amino acid with D-galacturonic acid was isolated from the polysaccharide by solvolysis with anhydrous trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid and characterised by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. These and published data enabled determination of the full structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide.  相似文献

Lysinoalanine [N epsilon-(DL-2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-lysine; LAL], a nephrotoxic lysine analog, inhibits the lysyl-tRNA-synthetase (EC 6.1.1.6) of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells competitively at micromolar concentrations. Incorporation of [14C]lysine into protein by a cell-free eukaryotic protein-synthesizing system was inhibited by LAL. Inhibition was 69.7% and 18.4% at LAL concentrations of 1.0 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. LAL was incorporated into protein as well as being an inhibitor as indicated by the incorporation of [14C]LAL into protein by the cell-free eukaryote protein-synthesizing system. The proteins labeled with [14C]LAL co-electrophoresed with those labeled with [14C]lysine. These results indicate that LAL is an inhibitor of both prokaryote and eukaryote lysyl-tRNA-synthetase. Furthermore, it is incorporated into protein. Both of these actions can be factors in the nephrotoxicity of this common food contaminant. Possible mechanisms for the toxicity of lysinoalanine are discussed.  相似文献
