dTDP-6-deoxy-d-allose, an unusual deoxysugar, has been identified as an intermediate in the mycinose biosynthetic pathway of several macrolide antibiotics. In order to characterize the biosynthesis of this deoxysugar, we have cloned and heterologously overexpressed gerK1 in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. This gene encodes for a protein with the putative function of a dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose reductase, which appears to be involved in the dihydrochalcomycin (GERI-155) biosynthesis evidenced by Streptomyces sp KCTC 0041BP. Our results revealed that GerK1 exhibited a specific reductive effect on the 4-keto carbon of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-allose, with the hydroxyl group in an axial configuration at the C3 position only. The enzyme catalyzed the conversion of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose to dTDP-6-deoxy-beta-D-allose, according to the results of an in vitro coupled enzyme assay, in the presence of GerF (dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose 3-epimerase). The product was isolated, and its stereochemistry was determined via nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.  相似文献

dTDP-L-rhamnose, an important precursor of O-antigen, was prepared on a large scale from dTMP by executing an one-pot reaction in which six enzymes are involved. Two enzymes, dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose 3,5-epimerase and dTDP-4-keto-rhamnose reductase, responsible for the conversion of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose to dTDP-L-rhamnose, were isolated from their putative sequences in the genome of Mesorhizobium loti, functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, and their enzymatic activities were identified. The two enzymes were combined with an enzymatic process for dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose involving TMP kinase, acetate kinase, dTDP-glucose synthase, and dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, which allowed us to achieve a preparative scale synthesis of dTDP-L-rhamnose using dTMP and glucose-1-phosphate as starting materials. About 82% yield of dTDP-L-rhamnose was obtained based on initial dTMP concentration at 20 mM dTMP, 1 mM ATP, 10 mM NADH, 60 mM acetyl phosphate, and 80 mM glucose-1-phosphate. From the reaction with 20 ml volume, approximately 180 mg of dTDP-L-rhamnose was obtained in an overall yield of 60% after two-step purification, that is, anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration for desalting. The purified product was identified by HPLC, ESI-MS, and NMR, showing about 95% purity.  相似文献

dTDP-dihydrostreptose synthase from Streptomyces griseus was purfied about 50-fold by removal of protein with polyethyleneimine, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA44. The synthase preparation was free of dTDP-4-keto-L-rhamnose 3,5-epimerase (dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose 3,5-epimerase, EC 5.1.3.13) activity. A new enzyme assay using Escherichia coli Y10 as source for the epimerase and dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (dTDP-glucose 4,6-hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.46) was developed. In the presence of excess epimerase the apparent Km for dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose was determined to be 25 microM. The molecular weight of epimerase and synthase were determined by their elution volumes from a Sephadex G-100 column to be approx. 67,000 and 32,000, respectively. The pH optimum for the epimerase was between 7.5 and 8.5. The intermediate formation of dTDP-4-keto-L-rhamnose in the epimerase reaction could be shown by detection of 6-deoxy-[3H]talose after NaB3H4 reduction. Results which indicate the existence of dTDP-4-keto-6-rhamnose as a free intermediate in the epimerase reaction are reported.  相似文献

The serotype-specific polysaccharide antigen of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Y4 (serotype b) consists of D-fucose and L-rhamnose. Thymidine diphosphate (dTDP)-D-fucose is the activated nucleotide sugar form of D-fucose, which has been identified as a constituent of structural polysaccharides in only a few bacteria. In this paper, we show that three dTDP-D-fucose synthetic enzymes are encoded by genes in the gene cluster responsible for the synthesis of serotype b-specific polysaccharide in A. actinomycetemcomitans. The first and second steps of the dTDP-D-fucose synthetic pathway are catalyzed by D-glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, which are encoded by rmlA and rmlB in the gene cluster, respectively. These two reactions are common to the well studied dTDP-L-rhamnose synthetic pathway. However, the enzyme catalyzing the last step of the dTDP-D-fucose synthetic pathway has never been reported. We identified the fcd gene encoding a dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose reductase. After purifying the three enzymes, their enzymatic activities were analyzed by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and gas-liquid chromatography analysis proved that the fcd gene product converts dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose to dTDP-D-fucose. Moreover, kinetic analysis of the enzyme indicated that the Km values for dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose and NADPH are 97.3 and 28.7 microM, respectively, and that the enzyme follows the sequential mechanism. This paper is the first report on the dTDP-D-fucose synthetic pathway and dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose reductase.  相似文献

A two-step enzymatic synthesis of dTDP-L-rhamnose is developed using enzymes from sonicated extracts of cultures of Escherichia coli K12 strains harboring plasmids containing different parts of the rfb gene cluster of Salmonella enterica LT2. The intermediate dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose was isolated after a 1-h reaction, using only dTDP-D-glucose and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, followed by protein precipitation and desalting by gel chromatography (yield 89%). In a two-step reaction using dTDP-D-glucose and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase in the first step, and with NADPH, dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose 3,5-epimerase and NADPH:dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose-4-reductase in the second hour of incubation, the dTDP-D-glucose was fully converted to dTDP-L-rhamnose. The hexoses of both products were identified by mass spectroscopy. The molar yield of dTDP-L-rhamnose, after protein precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography and desalting by gel chromatography, was 62%, corresponding to more than 150 mg, starting from 250 mg of dTDP-D-glucose. When stored lyophilysed under nitrogen, these products were found to be stable for several months. Both dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose and dTDP-L-rhamnose have light absorption maxima at 267 nm, with molar absorption coefficients close to that of dTMP. However, the absorption coefficient of dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose at the absorption maximum of 320 nm (specific for sugars containing keto groups) was found to be approximately 20% higher than values presented earlier. Furthermore, an HPLC technique is presented for determining the net activity of dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose 3,5-epimerase and NADPH:dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose-4-reductase, based on separation of dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose and dTDP-L-rhamnose. The HPLC technique is also suitable for determination of all the nucleotide components involved in the synthesis.  相似文献

The thymidine diphosphate-L-rhamnose biosynthesis pathway is required for assembly of surface glycoconjugates in a growing list of bacterial pathogens, making this pathway a potential therapeutic target. However, the terminal reactions have not been characterized. To complete assignment of the reactions, the four enzymes (RmlABCD) that constitute the pathway in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 were overexpressed. The purified RmlC and D enzymes together catalyze the terminal two steps involving NAD(P)H-dependent formation of dTDP-L-rhamnose from dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose. RmlC was assigned as the thymidine diphosphate-4-dehydrorhamnose 3,5-epimerase by showing its activity to be NAD(P)H-independent. Spectrofluorometric and radiolabeling experiments were used to demonstrate the ability of RmlC to catalyze the formation of dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose from dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose. Under reaction conditions, RmlC converted approximately 3% of its substrate to product. RmlD was unequivocally identified as the thymidine diphosphate-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase. The reductase property of RmlD was shown by equilibrium analysis and its ability to enable efficient biosynthesis of dTDP-L-rhamnose, even in the presence of low amounts of dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose. Comparison of 23 known and predicted RmlD sequences identified several conserved amino acid residues, especially the serine-tyrosine-lysine catalytic triad, characteristic for members of the reductase/epimerase/dehydrogenase protein superfamily. In conclusion, RmlD is a novel member of this protein superfamily.  相似文献

The biosynthesis of dTDP-L-dihydrostreptose from dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexosulose requires two enzymes: dTDP-4-keto-L-rhamnose-3,5-epimerase and a NADPH-dependent dTDP-“dihydrostreptose synthase”. These enzymes could be separated on a Sephadex G-100 column.  相似文献

An enzymatic production method for dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose, a key intermediate of various deoxysugars in antibiotics, was developed starting from dTMP, acetyl phosphate, and glucose-1-phosphate. Four enzymes, i.e., TMP kinase, acetate kinase, dTDP-glucose synthase, and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase' were overexpressed using T7 promoter system in the E. coli BL21 strain, and the dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose was synthesized by using the enzyme extracts in one-pot batch system. When 20 mM dTMP of initial concentration was used, Mg2+ ion, acetyl phosphate, and glucose-1-phosphate concentrations were optimized. About 95% conversion yield of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose was obtained based on initial dTMP concentration at 20 mM dTMP, 1 mM ATP, 60 mM acetyl phosphate, 80 mM glucose-1-phosphate, and 20 mM MgCl(2). The rate-limiting step in this multiple enzyme reaction system was the dTDP-glucose synthase reaction. Using the reaction scheme, about 1 gram of purified dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose was obtained in an overall yield of 81% after two-step purification, i.e., anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration.  相似文献

NovW, novU, and novS gene products represent dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose 3,5 epimarase, C-methyltransferase and dTDP-glucose-4-ketoreductase involved in noviose biosynthetic pathway, respectively. We have expressed three genes to elucidate the functions of NovW, NovU, and NovS in Escherichia coli. NovW and NovU catalyze the formation of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-5-C-methyl-L-lyxo-hexose from dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose. NovS reduces the product formed from the reaction of NovW with dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose in the presence of NADH to result in dTDP-l-rhamnose. Furthermore, a pathway for the biosynthesis of noviose is proposed.  相似文献

The glycan chains of the surface layer (S-layer) glycoprotein from the gram-positive, thermophilic bacterium Aneurinibacillus (formerly Bacillus) thermoaerophilus strain DSM 10155 are composed of L-rhamnose- and D-glycero-D-manno-heptose-containing disaccharide repeating units which are linked to the S-layer polypeptide via core structures that have variable lengths and novel O-glycosidic linkages. In this work we investigated the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of thymidine diphospho-L-rhamnose (dTDP-L-rhamnose) and their specific properties. Comparable to lipopolysaccharide O-antigen biosynthesis in gram-negative bacteria, dTDP-L-rhamnose is synthesized in a four-step reaction sequence from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate by the enzymes glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase (RmlA), dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (RmlB), dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose 3,5-epimerase (RmlC), and dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase (RmlD). The rhamnose biosynthesis operon from A. thermoaerophilus DSM 10155 was sequenced, and the genes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Compared to purified enterobacterial Rml enzymes, the enzymes from the gram-positive strain show remarkably increased thermostability, a property which is particularly interesting for high-throughput screening and enzymatic synthesis. The closely related strain A. thermoaerophilus L420-91(T) produces D-rhamnose- and 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose-containing S-layer glycan chains. Comparison of the enzyme activity patterns in A. thermoaerophilus strains DSM 10155 and L420-91(T) for L-rhamnose and D-rhamnose biosynthesis indicated that the enzymes are differentially expressed during S-layer glycan biosynthesis and that A. thermoaerophilus L420-91(T) is not able to synthesize dTDP-L-rhamnose. These findings confirm that in each strain the enzymes act specifically on S-layer glycoprotein glycan formation.  相似文献

Nature achieves the epimerization of carbohydrates by a variety of chemical routes. One common route is that performed by the class of enzyme defined by dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose 3,5-epimerase (RmlC) from the rhamnose pathway. Earlier studies failed to identify the key residues in catalysis. We report the 1.3 A structure of RmlC from Streptococcus suis type 2 and its complexes with dTDP-D-glucose and dTDP-D-xylose. The streptococcal RmlC enzymes belong to a separate subgroup, sharing only 25% identity with RmlC from other bacteria, yet the S. suis enzyme has similar kinetic properties and structure to other RmlC enzymes. Structure, sequence alignment, and mutational analysis have now allowed reliable identification of the catalytic residues and their roles.  相似文献

Cell-free extracts of Brevibacterium sp. L5 grown on DL-erythro-3,5-diaminohexanoate were found to contain a 3-keto-5-aminohexanoate cleavage enzyme that converts 3-keto-5-aminohexanoate and acetyl-coenzyme A (CokA) to 3-aminobutyryl-CoA and acetoacetate and a deaminase that coverts L-3-aminobutyryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA. The cleavage enzyme has been purified extensively, and some of its properties have been determined for comparison with the 3-keto-6-acetamido-hexanoate cleavage enzyme of Pseudomonas sp. B4. The deaminase has been partially purified and characterized. Both the cleavage enzyme and the deaminase are induced by growth on 3,5-diaminohexanoate. The presence of these and other accessory enzymes in Brevibacterium sp. extracts accounts for the results of earlier tracer experiments which showed that C-1 and C-2 of 3-keto-5-aminohexanoate are converted mainly to acetoacetate and acetate, whereas C-3 to C-6 are converted mainly to 3-hydroxybutyrate or its coenzyme A thiolester. The enzymes observed in extracts of Brevibacterium sp. can account for the conversion of 3,5-diaminohexanoate to acetyl-CoA.  相似文献

dTDP-l-rhamnose (dTDP-Rha)-synthesizing dTDP-6-deoxy-l-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase (4-KR) and dTDP-Rha 4-epimerase were characterized from Burkholderia thailandensis E264 by utilizing rmlDBth (BTH_I1472) and wbiBBth (BTH_I1476), respectively. Incubation of the recombinant WbiBBth with RmlA/RmlB/RmlC/Tal, which has previously been shown to generate dTDP-6-deoxy-l-talose (dTDP-6dTal) from α-d-glucose-1-phosphate, dTTP, and NADPH, produced dTDP-Rha. 1H NMR measurements confirmed that both RmlA/RmlB/RmlC/Tal/WbiBBth and RmlA/RmlB/RmlC/RmlD produced dTDP-Rha. WbiBBth alone produced dTDP-Rha when incubated with dTDP-6dTal. This is the first report to demonstrate epimerase activity interconverting between dTDP-Rha and dTDP-6dTal.  相似文献

The 6-deoxyhexose L-fucose is an important and characteristic element in glycoconjugates of bacteria (e.g., lipopolysaccharides), plants (e.g., xyloglucans) and animals (e.g., glycolipids, glycoproteins, and oligosaccharides). The biosynthetic pathway of GDP-L-fucose starts with a dehydration of GDP-D-mannose catalyzed by GDP-D-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (Gmd) creating GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose which is subsequently converted by the GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose 3,5-epimerase-4-reductase (WcaG; GDP-beta-L-fucose synthetase) to GDP-beta-L-fucose. Both biosynthetic genes gmd and wcaG were cloned from Escherichia coli K12 and the enzymes overexpressed under control of the T7 promoter in the expression vectors pET11a and pET16b, yielding both native and N-terminal His-tag fusion proteins, respectively. The activities of the Gmd and WcaG were analyzed. The enzymatic conversion from GDP-D-mannose to GDP-beta-L-fucose was optimized and the final product was purified. The formation of GDP-beta-L-fucose by the recombinant enzymes was verified by HPLC and NMR analyses. The His-tag fusion variants of the Gmd and WcaG proteins were purified to near homogeneity. The His-tag Gmd recombinant enzyme was inactive, whereas His-tag WcaG showed very similar enzymatic properties relative to the native GDP-beta-L-fucose synthetase. With the purified His-tag WcaG Km and Vmax values, respectively, of 40 microM and 23 nkat/mg protein for the substrate GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose and of 21 microM and 10 nkat/mg protein for the cosubstrate NADPH were obtained; a pH optimum of 7.5 was determined and the enzyme was stimulated to equal extend by the divalent cations Mg2+ and Ca2+. The Gmd enzyme showed a strong feedback inhibition by GDP-beta-L-fucose.  相似文献

GERI-155 is a macrolide antibiotic containing two deoxyhexose molecules which has antimicrobial activities against gram-positive bacteria. The deoxyhexose biosynthetic gene cluster of GERI-155 from Streptomyces sp. GERI-155 genome has now been isolated. Four orf were identified and a putative orf, supposed to code for the dTDP-deoxyglucose epimerase gene, was designated as gerF. gerF was expressed in E. coli using recombinant expression vector pHJ3. The recombinant protein expressed in a soluble form. The enzyme was purified by Ni-affinity column using imidazole buffer as eluents. The molecular mass of the expressed protein correlated with the predicted mass (36,000 Da) deduced from the cloned gene sequence data. The purified enzyme produced maltol from dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose and it was confirmed that the expressed protein was dTDP-deoxyglucose epimerase catalyzing epimerization of C-3 and C-5 or C-3 of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose.  相似文献

The serotype c-specific polysaccharide antigen of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans NCTC 9710 contains an unusual sugar, 6-deoxy-L-talose, which has been identified as a constituent of cell wall components in some bacteria. Two genes coding for thymidine diphosphate (dTDP)-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose reductases were identified in the gene cluster required for biosynthesis of serotype c-specific polysaccharide. Both dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose reductases were overproduced and purified from Escherichia coli transformed with the plasmids containing these genes. The sugar nucleotides converted by both reductases were purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and identified by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance and gas-liquid chromatography. The results indicated that one of two reductases produced dTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose and the other produced dTDP-L-rhamnose (dTDP-6-deoxy-L-mannose). The amino acid sequence of the dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase forming dTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose shared only weak homology with that forming dTDP-L-rhamnose, despite the fact that these two enzymes catalyze the reduction of the same substrate and the products are determined by the stereospecificity of the reductase activity. Neither the gene for dTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose biosynthesis nor its corresponding protein product has been found in other bacteria; this biosynthetic pathway is identified here for the first time.  相似文献

Over-expressed GerB (dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose aminotransferase) of Streptomyces sp. GERI-155 was used in the enzymatic synthesis of dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose (2) from dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose (1). [Carbohydrate structure: see text]. Five enzymes including dTMP kinase (TMK), acetate kinase (ACK), dTDP-glucose synthase (TGS), dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (DH), and dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose aminotransferase (GerB) were used to synthesize 2 on a large scale from glucose-1-phosphate and TMP. A conversion yield of up to 57% was obtained by HPLC peak integration given a reaction time of 270min. After purification by two successive preparative HPLC systems, the final product was identified by HPLC and then analyzed by (1)H, (13)C, (1)H-(1)H COSY NMR spectrometry.  相似文献

The dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase catalyzed conversion of dTDP-glucose to dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose occurs in three sequential chemical steps: dehydrogenation, dehydration, and rereduction. The enzyme contains the tightly bound coenzyme NAD(+), which mediates the dehydrogenation and rereduction steps of the reaction mechanism. In this study, we have determined that Asp135 and Glu136 are the acid and base catalysts, respectively, of the dehydration step. Identification of the acid catalyst was performed using an alternative substrate, dTDP-6-fluoro-6-deoxyglucose (dTDP-6FGlc), which undergoes fluoride ion elimination instead of dehydration, and thus does not require protonation of the leaving group. The steady-state rate of conversion of dTDP-6FGlc to dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose by each Asp135 variant was identical to that of wt, in contrast to turnover using dTDP-glucose where differences in rates of up to 2 orders of magnitude were observed. These results demonstrate Asp135's role in protonating the glucosyl-C6(OH) during dehydration. The base catalyst was identified using a previously uncharacterized, enzyme-catalyzed glucosyl-C5 hydrogen-solvent exchange reaction of product, dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose. Base catalysis of this exchange reaction is analogous to that occurring at C5 during the dehydration step of net catalysis. Thus, the decrease in the rate of catalysis ( approximately 2 orders of magnitude) of the exchange reaction observed with Glu136 variants demonstrates this residue's importance in base catalysis of dehydration.  相似文献

Mortierella alpina is a filamentous fungus commonly found in soil, which is able to produce large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. l-Fucose is an important sugar found in a diverse range of organisms, playing a variety of biological roles. In this study, we characterized the de novo biosynthetic pathway of GDP-l-fucose (the nucleotide-activated form of l-fucose) in M. alpina. Genes encoding GDP-d-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD) and GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase/4-reductase (GMER) were expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzymes were produced as His-tagged fusion proteins. Conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose by GMD and GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose to GDP-l-fucose by GMER were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis, electro-spray ionization-mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The km values of GMD for GDP-mannose and GMER for GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose were determined to be 0.77 mM and 1.047 mM, respectively. Both NADH and NADPH may be used by GMER as the coenzyme. The optimum temperature and pH were determined to be 37 °C and pH 9.0 (GMD) or pH 7.0 (GMER). Divalent cations are not required for GMD and GMER activity, and the activities of both enzymes may be enhanced by DTT. To our knowledge this is the first report on the characterization of GDP-l-fucose biosynthetic pathway in fungi.  相似文献

A simple, rapid, and quantitative high-pressure liquid chromatography radio method is described for the determination of in vivo (14)C-labeled l-ascorbate, dehydro-l-ascorbate, and total l-ascorbate of Arabidopsis thaliana cell suspensions upon incubation of cultures with exogenous d-[(14)C]mannose. The same radio-HPLC conditions can be used to follow the products of in vitro enzymatic conversions of GDP-d-mannose by enzyme extracts of A. thaliana, namely GDP-l-galactose, GDP-4"-keto,6"-deoxy-d-mannose, and GDP-l-fucose. In particular, an accurate assay for GDP-d-mannose 3",5"-epimerase, a key enzyme of the plant vitamin C pathway, is presented.  相似文献
