When an amide is more like histidine than imidazole: the role of axial ligands in heme catalysis

 Of the many subtle protein-cofactor interactions which facilitate oxidative catalysis by heme enzymes, the role of the axial ligand has for some time appeared to be fairly well understood. Recent studies from several laboratories, however, have provided good reason to reemphasize the importance of secondary interactions between the axial ligand and protein, as the results suggest that simple ligand identity is neither necessary nor sufficient for function. It has been widely proposed that the strong hydrogen bond between a proximal carboxylate and the histidine ligand of peroxidases assists O–O bond heterolysis and stabilizes the Fe(IV)=O center that is produced. Recent replacements of the axial ligand in a number of heme proteins have produced a few surprises, suggesting that the subtle interactions between the ligand and protein may in some cases be more important than the actual identity of the ligand.

Expression and purification of recombinant cynomolgus monkey cholesteryl ester transfer protein from Chinese hamster ovary cells

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester from high- and low-density lipoproteins to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and reciprocally mediates triglyceride transfer. The gene for cynomolgus monkey CETP was expressed in serum-free CHO culture with 2g/ml insulin as its only exogenous protein supplement. Cell growth was facilitated by immobilizing the CHO cells in alginate beads. Recombinant CETP (rCETP) was purified 176-fold with a three-step protocol resulting in a 60% final yield as measured by a fluorescent CETP activity assay. Typically, 3.4 mg of rCETP was purified from 1700 ml of media by affinity-gel chromatography involving Reactive Red 120 (RR120) followed by concanavalin A Sepharose 4B and rechromatography on RR120. SDS-PAGE shows a single broad band ofM _r , ranging from 68,000 to 74,000 which immunoreacts in Western blot analysis. Amino acid analysis and protein sequencing of the purified protein agree with the theoretical amino acid composition and sequence of cynomolgus CETP.     

Process of Making Three-dimensional Microstructures using Vaporization of a Sacrificial Component

Vascular structures in natural systems are able to provide high mass transport through high surface areas and optimized structure. Few synthetic material fabrication techniques are able to mimic the complexity of these structures while maintaining scalability. The Vaporization of a Sacrificial Component (VaSC) process is able to do so. This process uses sacrificial fibers as a template to form hollow, cylindrical microchannels embedded within a matrix. Tin (II) oxalate (SnOx) is embedded within poly(lactic) acid (PLA) fibers which facilitates the use of this process. The SnOx catalyzes the depolymerization of the PLA fibers at lower temperatures. The lactic acid monomers are gaseous at these temperatures and can be removed from the embedded matrix at temperatures that do not damage the matrix. Here we show a method for aligning these fibers using micromachined plates and a tensioning device to create complex patterns of three-dimensionally arrayed microchannels. The process allows the exploration of virtually any arrangement of fiber topologies and structures.     

Purification and characterization of thermostable H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript>-forming NADH oxidase from 2-phenylethanol-assimilating <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brevibacterium</Emphasis> sp. KU1309

A cytoplasmic NADH oxidase (NOX) was purified from a soil bacteria, Brevibacterium sp. KU1309, which is able to grow in the medium containing 2-phenylethanol as the sole source of carbon under an aerobic condition. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ involving two-electron reduction of O2 to H2O2. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 102 kDa by gel filtration and 57 kDa by SDS-PAGE, which indicates that the NOX was a homodimer consisting of a single subunit. The enzyme was stable up to 70 degrees C at a broad range of pH from 7 to 11. The enzyme activity increased about ten-fold with the addition of ammonium salt, while it was inhibited by Zn2+ (39%), Cu2+ (41%), Hg2+ (72%) and Ag+ (37%). The enzyme acts on NADH, but not on NADPH. The regeneration of NAD+ utilizing this enzyme made selective oxidation of mandelic acid or L: -phenylalanine possible. This thermostable enzyme is expected to be applicable as a useful biocatalyst for NAD+ recycling.     

Na/K-ATPase as an oligomeric ensemble

Differences in the kinetic behavior and properties of monomeric and oligomeric forms of membrane-bound Na/K-ATPase are analyzed. It is concluded that enzyme molecules within oligomeric complexes are affected by extrinsic signals that result in change of enzyme activity, whereas the individual (protomeric) state is insensitive to these signals. Some of the major factors of such regulation are microviscosity of the lipid environment, reactive oxygen species, and intracellular protein kinases.     

Cell death induced by Pteris semipinnata L. is associated with p53 and oxidant stress in gastric cancer cells

In this study, we demonstrated that Ent-11alpha-hydroxy-15-oxo-kaur-16-en-19-oic-acid (5F) had stronger cytotoxicity against MKN-45, a gastric cancer cell line bearing wild-type p53 than MKN-28, another gastric cancer cell line containing missense mutation in p53. The rapid increase of ROS level was involved in the mechanism of cytotoxicity. Classical features of apoptosis induced by 5F were observed in MKN-45 cells only or more significant in MKN-45 cells than MKN-28 cells. Translocation of Bax from cytosol to mitochondria, reduction of delta psi m and DNA fragmentation were induced by 5F in the p53-dependent manner. We conclude that the expression of Bax and its downstream molecules requires the presentation of a wild-type p53 in the cells treated by 5F.

Different Sensitivities to Oxygen Between Two Strains of the Photosynthetic Green Sulfur Bacterium Chlorobium vibrioforme NCIB 8327 with Bacteriochlorophyll c and d

Two sub-strains of the anoxygenic photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium vibrioforme NCIB 8327 were derived from the same clone and could be discriminated only by their possession of either bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c or d as the major pigment in the peripheral light-harvesting antenna system, chlorosome (Saga Y et al. (2003) Anal Sci 19: 1575–1579). In the presence of a proper amount of oxygen in the initial culture medium, the BChl d strain showed longer retardation on its growth initiation than the BChl c strain, indicating that the latter was advantageous for survival under aerobic light conditions which produced reactive oxygen species in vivo. The result would be ascribable to the difference of the midpoint potentials between two kinds of chlorosomes formed by self-aggregates of BChl c and d as measured by their fluorescence quenching.
