通过使用HPLC法对不同生长周期的罗汉果鲜果中罗汉果甜甙V和总黄酮的含量进行测定,总结出罗汉果中罗汉果甜甙V和总黄酮含量的变化规律,并对二者进行比较研究,结果表明坐果50d后,罗汉果甜甙Ⅴ的增加比较快,80d后,罗汉果甜甙Ⅴ的含量趋于稳定;随着生长周期的增加,罗汉果总黄酮的含量增加,40～50d中增长最快,坐果约50d后达到最高值,从60d开始总黄酮的含量迅速下降到20d水平,然后趋于稳定。

Iridoid glycosides from Gmelina arborea

Three iridoid glycosides 6-O-(3'-O-benzoyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (1a), 6-O-(3'-O-trans-cinnamoyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (2a) and 6-O-(3'-O-cis-cinnamoyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (3a) were isolated from aerial parts of Gmelina arborea and structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Additionally a known iridoid 6-O-(3', 4'-O-dibenzoyl)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (4) was also isolated and identified.

Rhododendrol biosynthesis and metabolism in Acer nikoense callus

Cell suspensions derived from Acer nikoense callus, not containing (S)-rhododendrol, converted 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2- butanone into (R)-, (S)-rhododendrol and their glycosides. (R)- and (S)-rhododendrol formed was only detected in the culture medium and their glycosides only in the cells. The former compound disappeared within a short time and the latter one also tended to decrease during prolonged culture. Quantitative analysis of rhododendrol glycosides in the callus showed that most of them were (S)-rhododendrol 2-O--D-glucopyranoside and its content was much lower than that of the original plants. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Structural analysis of CPF_2247, a novel α-amylase from Clostridium perfringens

CPF_2247 from Clostridium perfringens ATCC 13124 was identified as a putative carbohydrate‐active enzyme by its low sequence identity to endo‐β‐1,4‐glucanases belonging to family 8 of the glycoside hydrolase classification. The X‐ray crystal structure of CPF_2247 determined to 2.0 Å resolution by single‐wavelength anomalous dispersion using seleno‐methionine‐substituted protein revealed an (α/α)₆ barrel fold. A large cleft on the surface of the protein contains residues that are structurally conserved with key elements of the catalytic machinery in clan GH‐M glycoside hydrolases. Assessment of CPF_2247 as a carbohydrate‐active enzyme disclosed α‐glucanase activity on amylose, glycogen, and malto‐oligosaccharides. Proteins 2011;. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Beta-xylosidase activity of a GH3 glucosidase/xylosidase from yak rumen metagenome promotes the enzymatic degradation of hemicellulosic xylans

Aims: To characterize the duel activities of a glycosyl hydrolase family 3 β‐glucosidase/xylosidase from rumen bacterial metagenome and to investigate the capabilities of its β‐d ‐xylosidase activities for saccharification of hemicellulosic xylans. Methods and Results: A β‐glucosidase/xylosidase gene RuBGX1 was cloned from yak (Bos grunniens) rumen using the metagenomic technology. Recombinant RuBGX1, expressed in Escherichia coli, demonstrated high hydrolytic activities on both p‐nitrophenyl‐β‐d ‐glucopyranoside (pNP‐Glc) and p‐nitrophenyl‐β‐d ‐xylopyranoside (pNP‐Xyl) substrates. Analysis of the kinetic properties indicated that RuBGX1 had a lower affinity for pNP‐Glc substrate as the K_m was 0·164 mmol l^?1 for pNP‐Glc and 0·03 mmol l^?1 for pNP‐Xyl at pH 6·0 and 50°C, respectively. The capabilities of RuBGX1 β‐xylosidase for hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharide substrates were further investigated using an endoxylanase‐coupled assay. Hydrolysis time courses illustrated that a significant increase (about 50%) in the reducing sugars, including xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose, was achieved by supplementing endoxylanase with RuBGX1. Enzymatic product analysis using high‐performance anion‐exchange chromatography‐pulsed amperometric detection showed that RuBGX1 could release xyloses from intermediate xylooligosaccharides produced by endoxylanase. Conclusions: The RuBGX1 shows β‐glucosidase activity in hydrolysis of cello‐oligosaccharides; meanwhile, it has β‐xylosidase activity and functions synergistically with endoxylanase to promote the degradation of hemicellulosic xylans. Significance and Impact of the study: This was the first to report the β‐xylosidase activity of family 3 β‐glucosidase/xylosidase functioned in the degradation of hemicellulosic xylans. The bifunctional β‐glucosidase/xylosidase property of RuBGX1 can be used in simultaneous saccharification of cellulose and xylan into fermentable glucose and xylose.
