Streptomyces sp. Z-11-6, a novel producer of extracellular L-glutamate oxidase

Glutamate oxidase activity was studied in 1254Streptomyces strains isolated from the zonal soils of various regions of Russia and other countries. Seven strains proved to be producers of extracellular L-glutamate oxidase. The most active producer strain was identified, and the conditions of enzyme biosynthesis were optimized. A multistep mutagenesis-selection procedure allowed a genetically stable strain,Streptomyces sp. Z-11-6, to be obtained, whose glutamate oxidase activity was 40 times higher than that of the original natural isolate.     

Convenient and Efficient Syntheses of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides Containing O 6-(Carboxymethyl)Guanine and O 6-(4-Oxo-4-(3-Pyridyl)Butyl)Guanine

O ⁶-(carboxymethyl)guanine (O ⁶-CMG) and O ⁶-(4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)butyl)guanine (O ⁶-pobG) are toxic lesions formed in DNA following exposure to alkylating agents. O ⁶-CMG results from exposure to nitrosated glycine or nitrosated bile acid conjugates and may be associated with diets rich in red meat. O ⁶-pobG lesions are derived from alkylating agents found in tobacco smoke. Efficient syntheses of oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing O ⁶-CMG and O ⁶-pobG are described that involve nucleophilic displacement by the appropriate alcohol on a common synthetic ODN containing the reactive base 2-amino-6-methylsulfonylpurine. ODNs containing O ⁶-pobG and O ⁶-CMG were found to be good substrates for the S. pombe alkyltransferase-like protein Atl1.

Cytokinins: Synthesis of 2-, 8-, and 2,8-substituted 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)purines and their relative activities in promoting cell growth

We have synthesized 2- and 8-monosubstituted and 2,8-disubstituted derivatives of the cytokinin 6-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)purine (N⁶-isopentenyladenine) and have shown the dependence of growth-promoting activity in the tobacco bioassay upon the position, number, and type of substituent. The representative substituent groups were MeS, Me, MeSO₂, C₆H₅CH₂S, HS and Cl. The 8-methyl derivative was exceptional in being more active than the unsubstituted parent compound. In general, substitution in the 8-position decreases activity less than substitution in the 2-position, with the exception of the electron-attracting methylsulfonyl. Substitution in both the 2- and 8-positions lowers the activity more than substitution at either single position on the adenine nucleus, with the exception of the 2,8-dimethyl derivative. The chloro and methylthio derivatives show activity in the same range as the methyl derivatives, and the mercapto compounds, which exist mainly as CS tautomers, show somewhat less activity than the corresponding methylthio compounds. Bulky (C₆H₅CH₂S and MeSO₂) and strongly electron-attracting (MeSO₂) substituents cause relatively great reduction in cytokinin activity.     

Expression, purification and osteogenic bioactivity of recombinant human BMP-4, -9, -10, -11 and -14

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are cytokines from the TGF-β superfamily, with important roles during embryonic development and in the induction of bone and cartilage tissue differentiation in the adult body. In this contribution, we report the expression of recombinant human BMP-4, BMP-9, BMP-10, BMP-11 (or growth differentiation factor-11, GDF-11) and BMP-14 (GDF-5), using Escherichia coli pET-25b vector. BMPs were overexpressed, purified by affinity his-tag chromatography and shown to induce the expression of early markers of bone differentiation (e.g. smad-1, smad-5, runx2/cbfa1, dlx5, osterix, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein and alkaline phosphatase) in C2C12 cells and in human adipose stem cells. The described approach is a promising method for producing large amounts of different recombinant BMPs that show potential for novel biomedical applications.     

Composition,Antifungal and Antiproliferative Activities of the Hydrodistilled Oils from Leaves and Flower Heads of Pterocephalus nestorianus Nábělek

This article reports the first study of the chemical composition, and antifungal and antiproliferative properties of the volatile extracts obtained by hydrodistillation of the flower heads and leaves of the traditional Kurdish medicinal plant Pterocephalus nestorianus Nábělek , collected in the wild. A total of 55 constituents, 43 of the flower heads’ oil (PFO) and 46 of the leaves’ oil (PLO), respectively, were identified by GC/MS, constituting 99.68% and 99.04% of the two oils, respectively. The oils were obtained in 0.15% and 0.10% yields (w/w), respectively, on air‐dried vegetable material. The prevalent constituents of the PFO were α‐terpineol (2.41%), α‐linalool (6.42%), 6,10,14‐trimethylpentadecan‐2‐one (2.59%), myristic acid (24.65%), and lauric acid (50.44%), while the major components of PLO were (E)‐hex‐2‐enal (2.26%), (E)‐hex‐2‐en‐1‐ol (2.04), myristic acid (34.03%), and lauric acid (50.35%). The two oils showed significant inhibitory and fungicidal activities against the medically important fungi Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Microsporum canis, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, with minimum inhibitory concentration ranging from 0.7 to 3.3 mg/ml and minimum fungicidal concentration varying from 1.4 to 6.6 mg/ml. The antiproliferative activity of the two oils was assayed against one normal and six human tumor cell lines. Both oils showed selective cytotoxic activity, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 1.4 to 3.3 μg/ml.     

Model studies of the (6-4) photoproduct photoreactivation: synthesis and photosensitized splitting of uracil oxetane adducts

Uracil oxetane adducts, which are model compounds for the oxetane intermediates generated during the formation of (6-4) photoproducts or in their photoenzymatic repair, have been synthesized using 1,3-dimethyluracil with carbonyl compounds. On the basis of fluorescence measurements and photolysis experiments, it is demonstrated that the oxetane adducts can be split into the nucleotide base and carbonyl compounds via an electron transfer reaction from photosensitizer. The reaction is more efficient for a stronger electron donor.     

LSCHL4 from Japonica Cultivar,Which Is Allelic to NAL 1, Increases Yield of Indica Super Rice 93-11

The basic premise of high yield in rice is to improve leaf photosynthetic efficiency and coordinate the sourcesink relationship in rice plants. Quantitative trait loci （QTLs） related to morphological traits and chlorophyll content of rice leaves were detected at the stages of heading to maturity, and a major QTL （qLSCHL4） related to flag leaf shape and chlorophyll content was detected at both stages in recombinant inbred lines constructed using the indica rice cultivar 93-11 and the japonica rice cultivar Nipponbare. Map-based cloning and expression analysis showed that LSCHL4 is allelic to NAL1, a gene previously reported in narrow leaf mutant of rice. Overexpression lines transformed with vector carrying LSCHL4 from Nipponbare and a near-isogenic line of 93-11 （NIL-9311） had significantly increased leaf chlorophyll content, enlarged flag leaf size, and improved panicle type. The average yield of NIL-9311 was 18.70% higher than that of 93-11. These results indicate that LSCHL4 had a pleiotropic function. Exploring and pyramiding more high-yield alleles resem- bling LSCHL4 for super rice breeding provides an effective way to achieve new breakthroughs in raising rice yield and generate new ideas for solving the problem of global food safety.     

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of the Gene Encoding (6-4)photolyase from Dunaliella salina

DNA photolyase can repair UV-induced DNA damage in a light-dependent manner. A cDNA of (6-4)photolyase from Dunaliella salina (GenBank accession number: AY845324) was cloned, sequenced and its amino acid sequence was deduced. The derived amino acid sequence showed high homology with other (6-4)photolyases and a predicted 3D model was constructed by homology modeling.
