The paper considers the effects of bedaquiline (BDQ), an antituberculous preparation of the new generation, on rat liver mitochondria. It was shown that 50?μM BDQ inhibited mitochondrial respiration measured with substrates of complexes I and II (glutamate/malate and succinate/rotenone systems respectively) in the states V3 and VDNP. At the same time, at concentrations below 50?μM, BDQ slightly stimulated respiration with substrates of complex I in the state V2. BDQ was also found to suppress, in a dose-dependent manner, the activity of complex II and the total activity of complexes II?+?III of the mitochondrial transport chain. It was discovered that at concentrations up to 10?μM, BDQ inhibited H2O2 production in mitochondria. BDQ (10–50?μM) suppressed the opening of Ca2+-dependent CsA-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The latter was revealed experimentally as the inhibition of Ca2+/Pi-dependent swelling of mitochondria, suppression of cytochrome c release, and an increase in the Ca2+ capacity of the organelles. BDQ also decreased the rate of mitochondrial energy-dependent K+ transport, which was evaluated by the energy-dependent swelling of mitochondria in a K+ buffer and DNP-induced K+ efflux from the organelles. The possible mechanisms of BDQ effect of rat liver mitochondria are discussed. 相似文献

Microbial P450 enzymes in biotechnology 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Oxidations are key reactions in chemical syntheses. Biooxidations using fermentation processes have already conquered some niches in industrial oxidation processes since they allow the introduction of oxygen into non-activated carbon atoms in a sterically and optically selective manner that is difficult or impossible to achieve by synthetic organic chemistry. Biooxidation using isolated enzymes is limited to oxidases and dehydrogenases. Surprisingly, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases have scarcely been studied for use in biooxidations, although they are one of the largest known superfamilies of enzyme proteins. Their gene sequences have been identified in various organisms such as humans, bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants. The reactions catalyzed by P450s are quite diverse and range from biosynthetic pathways (e.g. those of animal hormones and secondary plant metabolites) to the activation or biodegradation of hydrophobic xenobiotic compounds (e.g. those of various drugs in the liver of higher animals). From a practical point of view, the great potential of P450s is limited by their functional complexity, low activity, and limited stability. In addition, P450-catalyzed reactions require a constant supply of NAD(P)H which makes continuous cell-free processes very expensive. Quite recently, several groups have started to investigate cost-efficient ways that could allow the continuous supply of electrons to the heme iron. These include, for example, the use of electron mediators, direct electron supply from electrodes, and enzymatic approaches. In addition, methods of protein design and directed evolution have been applied in an attempt to enhance the activity of the enzymes and improve their selectivity. The promising application of bacterial P450s as catalyzing agents in biocatalytic reactions and recent progress made in this field are both covered in this review. 相似文献

In this study we present an optimized method of high-pressure freezing and automated freeze-substitution of cultured human
cells, followed by LR White embedding, for subsequent immunolabeling. Also, the influence of various conditions of the freeze-substitution
procedures such as temperature, duration, and additives in the substitution medium on the preservation of cryo-immobilized
cells was analyzed. The recommended approach combines (1) automated freeze-substitution for high reproducibility and minimizing
human-derived errors; (2) minimal addition of contrasting and fixing agents; (3) easy-to-use LR White resin for embedment;
(4) good preservation of nuclei and nucleoli which are usually the most difficult structures to effectively vitrify and saturate
in a resin; and (5) preservation of antigens for sensitive immunogold labeling. 相似文献

The P450 monooxygenases CYP102A1 from Bacillus megaterium and CYP102A3 from Bacillus subtilis are fusion flavocytochromes comprising of a P450 heme domain and a FAD/FMN reductase domain. This protein organization is
responsible for the extraordinary catalytic activities making both monooxygenases promising enzymes for biocatalysis. CYP102A1
and CYP102A3 are fatty acid hydroxylases that share 65% identity, and their mutants are able to oxidize a wide range of substrates.
In an attempt to increase the process stability of CYP102A1, we exchanged the more unstable reductase domain of CYP102A1 with
the more stable reductase domain of CYP102A3. Stability of the chimeric fusion protein was determined spectrophotometrically
as well as by measuring the hydroxylation activity towards 12-para-nitrophenoxydodecanoic acid (12-pNCA) after incubation at elevated temperatures. In the reaction with 12-pNCA, the new chimeric protein exhibited 88 and 38% of the activity of CYP102A3 and CYP102A1, respectively, but was able to
hydroxylate substrates within a wider temperature range compared with the parental enzymes. Maximum activity was obtained
at 51°C, and the half-life at 50°C was with 100 min more than ten times longer than that of CYP102A1 (8 min). 相似文献

Hydroxylations of octane and lauric acid by Cytochrome P450-BM3 (CYP102A1) wild-type and three active site mutants--F87A, L188Q/A74G, and F87V/L188Q/A74G--were rationalized using a combination of substrate orientation from docking, substrate binding statistics from molecular dynamics simulations, and barrier energies for hydrogen atom abstraction from quantum mechanical calculations. Wild-type BM3 typically hydroxylates medium- to long-chain fatty acids on subterminal (omega-1, omega-2, omega-3) but not the terminal (omega) positions. The known carboxylic anchoring site Y51/R47 for lauric acid, and hydrophobic interactions and steric exclusion, mainly by F87, for octane as well as lauric acid, play a role in the binding modes of the substrates. Electrostatic interactions between the protein and the substrate strongly modulate the substrate's regiodependent activation barriers. A combination of the binding statistics and the activation barriers of hydrogen-atom abstraction in the substrates is proposed to determine the product formation. Trends observed in experimental product formation for octane and lauric acid by wild-type BM3 and the three active site mutants were qualitatively explained. It is concluded that the combination of substrate binding statistics and hydrogen-atom abstraction barrier energies is a valuable tool to rationalize substrate binding and product formation and constitutes an important step toward prediction of product ratios. 相似文献

The taxonomic position of two antarctic dorylaimid species Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon (Loof, 1975) Andrássy, 1998 and Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus (Loof, 1975), gen. n., comb. n. are discussed on the basis of morphological, including SEM study, morphometric, postembryonic and sequence data of 18S rDNA and the D2-D3 expansion fragments of large subunit rDNA. The evolutionary trees inferred from 18S sequences show insufficient resolution to determine the assignment of the two species to particular families, moreover Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus
gen. n., comb. n. (=Rhyssocolpus
paradoxus) previously regarded as a member of Nordiidae or Qudsianematidae, showed distant relationship both to Rhyssocolpus
vinciguerrae and Eudorylaimus spp. The phylogram inferred from 28S sequences revealed that Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon is a member of a well-supported group comprised of several Aporcelaimellus spp., while, no close relationships could be revealed for the Pararhyssocolpus
paradoxus
gen. n., comb. n. to any nematode genus. On the basis of molecular data and morphological characteristics, some taxonomic changes are proposed. Amblydorylaimus
isokaryon is transferred from family Qudsianematidae to family Aporcelaimidae, and a new monotypic genus Pararhyssocolpus
gen. n. is proposed, attributed to Pararhyssocolpidae
fam. n. The diagnosis of the new family is provided together with emended diagnosis of the genera Amblydorylaimus and Pararhyssocolpus
gen. n. Data concerning distribution of these endemic genera in the Antarctic region are also given. 相似文献

A new needle nematode, Longidorus carniolensissp. n., recovered from the soil around the roots of grapevine Vitis vinifera L. from Slovenia, is described and illustrated. Longidorus carniolensisis an amphimictic species, characterised by females with a moderately long (L=5.6-8.2 mm) and plump (a=51-72.4, ave. 66.3) body, assuming a spiral to C-shape when heat relaxed. Head region continuous, anteriorly almost flat, lip region 23-25 μm wide; guiding ring situated posteriorly (42-47 μm, 43-50 μm in males), odontostyle long (ave. 146.6 (136-157) μm); pharyngeal glands with normal location, their nuclei of approximately equal size; tail bluntly conoidal to almost hemispherical. Males abundant, spicules slender and long (122-145 μm), ventromedian supplements 13-17, irregularly spaced, preceded by an adanal pair. Four juvenile stages present, the first stage juvenile with bluntly conoidal tail. Codes for identifying the new species when using the key by Chen et al. (1997) are: A 56, B 4, C 4, D 1, E 4, F 35, G 1, H 1, I 2. The new species is morphologically the most similar to Longidorus poessneckensis Altherr, 1974, Longidorus macrosoma Hooper, 1961, Longidorus caespiticola Hooper, 1961, Longidorus helveticus Lamberti et al., 2001, Longidorus macroteromucronatus Altherr, 1974, Longidorus pius Barsi & Lamberti, 2001, Longidorus raskii Lamberti & Agostinelli, 1993, Longidorus kheirii Pedram et al. 2008, Longidorus silvae Roca, 1993, Longidorus iuglandis Roca et al., 1985, Longidorus vinearum Bravo & Roca, 1995 and Longidorus major Roca & d'Erico, 1987, but differs from these species either by the body and odontostyle length, position of guide ring, head region and tail shape or the shape of the first stage juvenile tail. Sequence data from the D2-D3 region of the 28S rDNA distinguishes this new species from other speciesof the genus Longidorus with known sequences. Relationships of Longidorus carniolensissp. n. with other Longidorus species based on analysis of this DNA fragment and morphology are discussed. 相似文献

Isolated P450 monooxygenases have for long been neglected catalysts in enzyme technology. This is surprising as they display a remarkable substrate specificity catalyzing reactions, which represent a challenge for classic organic chemistry. On the other hand, many P450 monooxygenases are membrane bound, depend on rather complicated electron transfer systems and require expensive cofactors such as NAD(P)H. Their activities are low, and stability leaves much to be desired. The use of bacterial P450 monooxygenases from CYP102 family allows overcoming some of these handicaps. They are soluble and their turnovers are high, presumably because their N-terminal heme monooxygenase and their C-terminal diflavin reductase domain are covalently linked. In recent years, protein engineering approaches have been successfully used to turn CYP102 monooxgenases into powerful biocatalysts. 相似文献
