Of the four investigated Rhodococcus strains (R. rhodochrous172, R. opacus 4a and 557, and R. rhodnii 135), the first three strains were found to be able to completely transform fluorene when it was present in the medium as the sole source of carbon at a concentration of 12–25 mg/l. At a fluorene concentration of 50–100 mg/l in the medium, the rhodococci transformed 50% of the substrate in 14 days. The addition of casamino acids and sucrose (1–5 g/l) stimulated fluorene transformation, so that R. rhodochrous 172 could completely transform it in 2–5 days. Nine intermediates of fluorene transformation were isolated, purified, and structurally characterized. It was found that R. rhodnii 135 and R. opacus strains 4a and 557 hydroxylated fluorene with the formation of 2-hydroxyfluorene and 2,7-dihydroxyfluorene. R. rhodochrous 172 transformed fluorene via two independent pathways to a greater degree than the other rhodococci studied. 相似文献

Secondary metabolites of 22 fungal strains (genus Aspergillus, section Usti) isolated at diverse geographic regions, including the Arctic permafrost deposits, were studied. The studied strains were found to synthesize a variety of biologically active compounds, structurally identified as drimane sesqueterpenoids, isoquinoline alkaloids (TMC-120 A?C, derivative 1), meroterpenoids (austalides О and J), and anthraquinone pigments (averufin, versicolorin C). Desferritriacetylfusigen production by A. calidoustus isolates is reported for the first time. The individual spectra of secondary metabolites were used for reidentification of 17 strains, of which 15 were identified as A. calidoustus and two, as A. pseudodeflectus. 相似文献

The fungus Penicillium aurantiogriseum var. aurantiogriseum VKM F-1298 produces two benzodiazepine alkaloids (anacine and aurantine) and one diketopiperazine alkaloid (aurantiamine). When cultured in a submerged mode in Abe medium, the alkaloids are mostly secreted into the medium. The dynamics of aurantine and aurantiamine accumulation in the medium is characterized by the presence of a relatively sharp maximum in the idiophase, whereas the accumulation of anacine in the medium is characterized by an extended plateau and occurs concurrently with fungal growth. 相似文献

Laccase from the white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor was immobilized on Celite R-637 by covalent binding with glutaraldehyde. After a sharp primary decline in activity (up to 50%), the retained enzyme activity was stable over a storage period of 33 days at 4 degrees C. A comparative study of soluble and immobilized laccases revealed the increased resistance of immobilized enzyme to the unfavourable effects of alkaline pH, high temperature and the action of inhibitors. A combination of these properties of immobilized laccase resulted in the ability to oxidize 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) at 50 degrees C at pH 7.0. The reactions of soluble and immobilized laccase with 2,4,6-TCP were examined in the presence and absence of redox mediators. 3,5-Dichlorocatechol, 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,6-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone were found to be the primary products of 2,4,6-TCP oxidation by laccase; oligo- and polymeric compounds were also found. 相似文献

Background
The majority of experimentally determined crystal structures of Type II restriction endonucleases (REases) exhibit a common PD-(D/E)XK fold. Crystal structures have been also determined for single representatives of two other folds: PLD (R.BfiI) and half-pipe (R.PabI), and bioinformatics analyses supported by mutagenesis suggested that some REases belong to the HNH fold. Our previous bioinformatic analysis suggested that REase R.Eco29kI shares sequence similarities with one more unrelated nuclease superfamily, GIY-YIG, however so far no experimental data were available to support this prediction. The determination of a crystal structure of the GIY-YIG domain of homing endonuclease I-TevI provided a template for modeling of R.Eco29kI and prompted us to validate the model experimentally.Results
Using protein fold-recognition methods we generated a new alignment between R.Eco29kI and I-TevI, which suggested a reassignment of one of the putative catalytic residues. A theoretical model of R.Eco29kI was constructed to illustrate its predicted three-dimensional fold and organization of the active site, comprising amino acid residues Y49, Y76, R104, H108, E142, and N154. A series of mutants was constructed to generate amino acid substitutions of selected residues (Y49A, R104A, H108F, E142A and N154L) and the mutant proteins were examined for their ability to bind the DNA containing the Eco29kI site 5'-CCGCGG-3' and to catalyze the cleavage reaction. Experimental data reveal that residues Y49, R104, E142, H108, and N154 are important for the nuclease activity of R.Eco29kI, while H108 and N154 are also important for specific DNA binding by this enzyme.Conclusion
Substitutions of residues Y49, R104, H108, E142 and N154 predicted by the model to be a part of the active site lead to mutant proteins with strong defects in the REase activity. These results are in very good agreement with the structural model presented in this work and with our prediction that R.Eco29kI belongs to the GIY-YIG superfamily of nucleases. Our study provides the first experimental evidence for a Type IIP REase that does not belong to the PD-(D/E)XK or HNH superfamilies of nucleases, and is instead a member of the unrelated GIY-YIG superfamily. 相似文献46.

DNA damage caused by the binding of the tumorigen 7R,8S-diol 9S,10R-epoxide (B[a]PDE), a metabolite of bezo[a]pyrene, to guanine in CpG dinucleotide sequences could affect DNA methylation and, thus, represent a potential epigenetic mechanism of chemical carcinogenesis. In this work, we investigated the impact of stereoisomeric (+)- and (-)-trans-anti-B[a]P-N(2)-dG adducts (B(+) and B(-)) on DNA methylation by prokaryotic DNA methyltransferases M.SssI and M.HhaI. These two methyltransferases recognize CpG and GCGC sequences, respectively, and transfer a methyl group to the C5 atom of cytosine (C). A series of 18-mer unmethylated or hemimethylated oligodeoxynucleotide duplexes containing trans-anti-B[a]P-N(2)-dG adducts was generated. The B(+) or B(-) residues were introduced either 5' or 3' adjacent or opposite to the target 2'-deoxycytidines. The B[a]PDE lesions practically produced no effect on M.SssI binding to DNA but reduced M.HhaI binding by 1-2 orders of magnitude. In most cases, the benzo[a]pyrenyl residues decreased the methylation efficiency of hemimethylated and unmethylated DNA by M.SssI and M.HhaI. An absence of the methylation of hemimethylated duplexes was observed when either the (+)- or the (-)-trans-anti-B[a]P-N(2)-dG adduct was positioned 5' to the target dC. The effects observed may be related to the minor groove conformation of the bulky benzo[a]pyrenyl residue and to a perturbation of the normal contacts of the methyltransferase catalytic loop with the B[a]PDE-modified DNA. Our results indicate that a trans-anti-B[a]P-N(2)-dG lesion flanking a target dC in the CpG dinucleotide sequence on its 5'-side has a greater adverse impact on methylation than the same lesion when it is 3' adjacent or opposite to the target dC. 相似文献

A versatile bacterial strain able to convert polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was isolated, and a conversion by the isolate of both individual substances and PAH mixtures was investigated. The strain belonged to the Sphingomonas genus as determined on the basis of 16S rRNA analysis and was designated as VKM B-2434. The strain used naphthalene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, anthracene and fluoranthene as a sole source of carbon and energy, and cometabolically oxidized fluorene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene. Acenaphthene and fluoranthene were degraded by the strain via naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic acid and 3-hydroxyphthalic acid. Conversion of most other PAHs was confined to the cleavage of only one aromatic ring. The major oxidation products of naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene were identified as salicylic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, o-hydroxyphenanthroic acid and o-hydroxypyrenoic acid, respectively. Fluorene and pyrene were oxidized mainly to hydroxyfluorenone and dihydroxydihydropyrene, respectively. Oxidation of phenanthrene and anthracene to the corresponding hydroxynaphthoic acids occurred quantitatively. The strain converted phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and carbazole of coal-tar-pitch extract. 相似文献

A novel approach to the design of sensitive fluorescent probes for nucleic acids detection is proposed. Suitable modifications of tri- and pentamethine cyanine dyes in the polymethine chain and/or in the heterocyclic residues can result in a significant decrease in unbound dye fluorescence intensity and an increase in dye emission intensity in the presence of DNA compared to the unsubstituted dye. The sharp enhancement in the fluorescence intensity upon dye interaction with double-stranded DNA permits the application of the modified tri- and pentamethine dyes as fluorescent probes in double-stranded DNA detection in homogeneous assays. 相似文献

The strain Streptomyces rochei 303 (VKM Ac-1284D) is capable of utilizing 2-chloro-,2,4-,2,6-dichloro- and 2,4,6-trichlorophenols as the sole source of carbon. Its resting cells completely dechlorinated and degraded 2-, 3-chloro-; 2,4-, 2,6-, 2,3-, 2,5-, 3,4-, 3,5-dichloro-; 2,4-, 2,6-dibromo-; 2,4,6-, 2,4,5-, 2,3,4-, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-trichlorophenols; 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro- and pentachlorophenol. During chlorophenol degradation, a stoichiometric amount of chloride ions was released and chlorohydroquinols were formed as intermediates. In cell-free extracts of S. rochei, the activity of hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase was found. The enzyme was induced with chlorophenols. Of all so far described strains degrading polychlorophenols, S. rochei 303 utilized a wider range of chlorinated phenols as the sole sourse of carbon and energy.Abbreviations CP
