Interactions of chiral molecules with an (r)-n-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine HPLC stationary phase

Forty different chiral molecules were studied by liquid chromatography with a Pirkle-type, (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine (DNBPG), chiral stationary phase column. The dramatic effect of a small molecular change on chiral recognition was demonstrated using DL-amino acid derivatives. The inductive effect on chiral recognition was also studied using trifluoro-, trichloro-, dichloro-, monochloroacetyl, and acetyl derivatives of four different chiral amines. The study of the enantiomer separation of 11 different crown ethers of 2,2′-binaphthyldiyl showed that the rigidity of the chiral center can be an additional parameter in chiral recognition for the DNBPG phase but not for a β-cyclodextrin bonded chiral phase. It is apparent from this study that steric effects, inductive effects, and molecular rigidity play important roles in chiral recognition with DNBPG chiral stationary phases.     

Thyroxine effects on parameters of glucose turnover in BHE rats fed menhaden oil

The effect of hyperthyroidism on glucose turnover in BHE rats fed menhaden oil was studied. Thyroxine-treated rats had a greater glucose mass, a greater absolute glucose synthesis rate, less hepatic and muscle glycogen levels, and greater hepatic and peripheral fat cell lipogenic rates than nontreated rats. No differences in body weight gain were observed, nor were there differences in blood glucose levels, glucose space, or fractional reversible or irreversible glucose use. These observations suggest that thyroxine and menhaden oil were additive in their effects on glucose metabolism in BHE rats, which are genetically programmed to develop non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.     

Purification and properties of arylmannosidases from mung bean seedlings and soybean cells

Two arylmannosidases (signified as A and B) were purified tohomogeneity from soluble and microsomal fractions of mung beanseedlings. Arylmannosidase A from the microsomes appeared thesame on native gels and on SDS gels as soluble arylmannosidaseA, the same was true for arylmannosidase B. Sedimentation velocitystudies indicated that both enzymes were homogeneous, and thatarylmannosidase A had a molecular mass of 237 kd while B hada molecular mass of 243 kd. Arylmannosidase A showed two majorprotein bands on SDS gels with molecular masses of 60 and 55kd, and minor bands of 79, 39 and 35 kd. All of these bandswere N-linked since they were susceptible to digestion by endo-glucosaminidaseH. In addition, at least the major bands could be detected byWestern blots with antibody raised against the xylose moietyof N-linked plant oligosaccharides, and they could also be labeledin soybean suspension cells with [2–3H]mannose. ArylmannosidaseB showed three major bands with molecular masses of 72, 55 and45 kd, and minor bands of 42 and 39 kd. With the possible exceptionof the 45 and 42 kd bands, all of these bands are glycoproteins.Arylmannosidases A and B showed somewhat different kineticsin terms of mannose release from high-mannose oligosaccharides,but they were equally susceptible to inhibition by swainsonineand mannostatin A. Polyclonal antibody raised against the arylmannosidaseB cross-reacted equally well with arylmannosidase A from mungbean seedlings and with arylmannosidase from soybean cells.However, monoclonal antibody against mung bean arylmannosidaseA was much less effective against arylmannosidase B. Antibodywas used to examine the biosynthesis and structure of the carbohydratechains of arylmannosidase in soybean cells grown in [2–³H]mannose.Treatment of the purified enzyme with Endo H released 50% ofthe radioactivity, and these labeled oligosaccharides were ofthe high-mannose type, i.e. mostly Man9GlcNAc. The precipitatedprotein isolated from the Endo H treatment still contained 50%of the radioactivity, and this was present in modified structuresthat probably contain xylose residues.

中国人群的β地贫的可诊断率与产前诊断中遗传标记的选择策略

利用与β地中海贫血致病基因连锁的遗传标记进行产前诊断已成为可能,但群体中遗传标记与致病基因的不完全连锁决定了产前诊断的局限性。根据中国人群中7个遗传标记的多态性分布数据,我们计算了各遗传标记及其所有组合的可诊断率。又据各遗传标记及其组合的可诊断率,我们可以对:(1)所作出产前诊断的可诊断率进行预先评价;(2)选择适合于中国人群β地中海贫血产前诊断的最佳策略。本文提出了中国人群中选择遗传标记进行β地中海贫血产前诊断的最佳路线。同时将基因的连锁分析法与寡核苷酸法进行了比较。     

The carboxy terminus of pp60c-src is a regulatory domain and is involved in complex formation with the middle-T antigen of polyomavirus.

A large number of mutations were introduced into the carboxy-terminal domain of pp60c-src. The level of phosphorylation on Tyr-416 and Tyr-527, the transforming activity (as measured by focus formation on NIH 3T3 cells), kinase activity, and the ability of the mutant pp60c-src to associate with the middle-T antigen of polyomavirus were examined. The results indicate that Tyr-527 is a major carboxy-terminal element responsible for regulating pp60c-src in vivo. A good but not perfect correlation exists between lack of phosphorylation at Tyr-527 and increased phosphorylation at Tyr-416, between elevated phosphorylation on Tyr-416 and activated kinase activity, and between activated kinase activity and transforming activity. Phosphorylation of Tyr-527 was insensitive to the mutation of adjacent residues, indicating that the primary sequence only has a minor role in recognition by kinases or phosphatases which regulate it in vivo. Three mutants which have in common a modified Glu-524 residue were phosphorylated on Tyr-416 and Tyr-527 and were weakly transforming. This suggests that other mechanisms besides complete dephosphorylation of Tyr-527 can lead to increased phosphorylation of Tyr-416 and activation of the transforming activity of pp60c-src. Furthermore, the residues between Asp-518 and Pro-525 were required to form a stable complex with middle-T antigen. The proximity of these sequences to Tyr-527 suggests a model in which middle-T activates pp60c-src by binding directly to this region of the molecular and thereby preventing phosphorylation of Tyr-527. Alternatively, middle-T binding may mediate a conformational change in this region, which in turn induces an alteration in the level of phosphorylation at Tyr-527 and Tyr-416.     

Structures of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromActinomadura angiospora,Faenia rectivirgula,andSaccharothrix australiensis

The structures of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromActinomadura angiospora, Faenia rectivirgula, andSaccharothrix australiensis were determined by mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The positions of saturation of the tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromFaenia rectivirgula andSaccharothrix australiensis were units II plus III (counting from the ring system), whereas that ofActinomadura angiospora had units III and VIII hydrogenated. The tetrahydrogenated menaquinones fromFaenia rectivirgula andSaccharothrix australiensis are similar to those characterized from other Gram-positive taxa to date, whereas that fromActinomadura angiospora represents a hitherto unknown isomer.
