Competitive inhibition of the inverting beta-xylosidase of Bacillus pumilus 12 by monosaccharide derivatives of different structural and conformational types. A possible natural substrate.

ABSTRACT: The title enzyme is competitively inhibited by compounds, for example alpha-D-xylopyranosylpyridinium salts and 1,6-anhydro-D-glucopyranose, for which the normal 4C1 conformation of the xylopyranose ring is precluded. It is competitively inhibited by compounds, for example beta-D-xylopyranosylpyridinium salts and 1,6-anhydro-L-idopyranose, for which the 1C4 conformation is precluded, and which have no accessible conformations in common with the first set of inhibitors. It is also competitively inhibited by alpha-L-arabinofuranosides. Inhibition by 1,6-anhydroglucopyranose, 1,6-anhydro-L-idopyranose and L-arabinono-gamma-lactone is competitive with respect to each other. alpha-D-Xylopyranosyl fluoride is not a detectable substrate, by itself or in the presence of a representative of any of the three types of inhibitor. On the basis of these and literature data, it is proposed that the natural substrate is a hemicellulose fragment containing the D-Xylp beta (1 leads to 4)-[L-Araf alpha (1 leads to 3)]D-Xylp structure. Tentative inferences about the catalytic mechanism can also be drawn.

Competitive binding of natural amphiphiles with graphene derivatives.

Project description:Understanding the transformation of graphene derivatives by natural amphiphiles is essential for elucidating the biological and environmental implications of this emerging class of engineered nanomaterials. Using rapid discrete-molecular-dynamics simulations, we examined the binding of graphene and graphene oxide with peptides, fatty acids, and cellulose, and complemented our simulations by experimental studies of Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Specifically, we established a connection between the differential binding and the conformational flexibility, molecular geometry, and hydrocarbon content of the amphiphiles. Importantly, our dynamics simulations revealed a Vroman-like competitive binding of the amphiphiles for the graphene oxide substrate. This study provides a mechanistic basis for addressing the transformation, evolution, transport, biocompatibility, and toxicity of graphene derivatives in living systems and the natural environment.

Conformational Properties of New Thiosemicarbazone and Thiocarbohydrazone Derivatives and Their Possible Targets.

Project description:The structure assignment and conformational analysis of thiosemicarbazone KKI15 and thiocarbohydrazone KKI18 were performed through homonuclear and heteronuclear 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (2D-COSY, 2D-NOESY, 2D-HSQC, and 2D-HMBC) and quantum mechanics (QM) calculations using Functional Density Theory (DFT). After the structure identification of the compounds, various conformations of the two compounds were calculated using DFT. The two molecules showed the most energy-favorable values when their two double bonds adopted the E configuration. These configurations were compatible with the spatial correlations observed in the 2D-NOESY spectrum. In addition, due to the various isomers that occurred, the energy of the transition states from one isomer to another was calculated. Finally, molecular binding experiments were performed to detect potential targets for KKI15 and KKI18 derived from SwissAdme. In silico molecular binding experiments showed favorable binding energy values for all four enzymes studied. The strongest binding energy was observed in the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase. ADMET calculations using the preADMET and pKCSm software showed that the two molecules appear as possible drug leads.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of Three Monosaccharide Monomyristate Derivatives.

Project description:Microbial infections remains a serious challenge in food industries due to their resistance to some of the well-known antibacterial and antifungal agents. In this work, a novel monomyristoyl ester (fructosyl monomyristate) and two other derivatives (i.e., glucosyl and galactosyl monomyristates) were successfully synthesized from myristic acid and monosaccharides in two-step reactions. First, the myristic acid was converted to myristoyl chloride, and then the myristoyl chloride was reacted with fructose, glucose and galactose separately to produce the corresponding monosaccharide monomyristate derivatives. The structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H- and 13C-NMR), and mass spectral (MS) data. The monomyristates esters were obtained in reaction yields of 45.80%-79.49%. The esters were then evaluated for their antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion test. It was found that the esters exhibited a medium antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria; however, they showed a weak antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria. Amongst the esters, galactosyl myristate yielded the highest antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcusaureus and Bacillussubtilis, while glucosyl monomyristate exhibited the highest antibacterial activity only against Escherichia coli. Additionally, all products showed remarkable antifungal activity against Candida albicans. These findings demonstrate that monosaccharide monomyristate derivatives are promising for use as biocompatible antimicrobial agents in the future.

From d- to l-Monosaccharide Derivatives via Photodecarboxylation-Alkylation.

Project description:Photodecarboxylation-alkylation of conformationally locked monosaccharides leads to inversion of stereochemistry at C5. This allows the synthesis of l-sugars from their readily available d-counterparts. Via this strategy, methyl l-guloside was synthesized from methyl d-mannoside in 21% yield over six steps.

In Situ Cultivation Allows for Recovery of Bacterial Types Competitive in Their Natural Environment.

Project description:Standard cultivation fails to grow most microorganisms, whereas in situ cultivation allows for the isolation of comparatively diverse and novel microorganisms. Information on similarities and differences in the physiological properties of isolates obtained from in situ cultivation and standard cultivation is limited. Therefore, we used the arctic sediment samples and compared two culture collections obtained using standard and novel cultivation techniques. Even though there was no temperature selection at the isolation step, isolates from each method showed different reactions to temperature. The results of the present study suggest that isolates from in situ cultivation are more competitive in their natural environment.

Enzyme-coupled assay for beta-xylosidase hydrolysis of natural substrates.

Project description:We describe here a new enzyme-coupled assay for the quantitation of d-xylose using readily available enzymes that allows kinetic evaluation of hemicellulolytic enzymes using natural xylooligosaccharide substrates. Hydrogen peroxide is generated as an intermediary analyte, which allows flexibility in the choice of the chromophore or fluorophore used as the final reporter. Thus, we present d-xylose quantitation results for solution-phase assays performed with both the fluorescent reporter resorufin, generated from N-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (Amplex Red), and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), whose corresponding radical cation has an absorbance maximum at approximately 400 nm. We also describe a useful solid-phase variation of the assay performed with the peroxidase substrate 3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride, which produces an insoluble brown precipitate. In addition, kinetic parameters for hydrolysis of the natural substrates xylobiose and xylotriose were obtained using this assay for a glycosyl hydrolase family 39 beta-xylosidase from Thermoanaerobacterium sp. strain JW/SL YS485 (Swiss-Prot accession no. O30360). At higher xylobiose substrate concentrations the enzyme showed an increase in the rate indicative of transglycosylation, while for xylotriose marked substrate inhibition was observed. At lower xylobiose concentrations k(cat) was 2.7 +/- 0.4 s(-1), K(m) was 3.3 +/- 0.7 mM, and k(cat)/K(m) was 0.82 +/- 0.21 mM(-1) . s(-1). Nonlinear curve fitting to a substrate inhibition model showed that for xylotriose K(i) was 1.7 +/- 0.1 mM, k(cat) was 2.0 +/- 0.1 s(-1), K(m) was 0.144 +/- 0.011 mM, and k(cat)/K(m) was 14 +/- 1.3 mM(-1) . s(-1).

Regioselective synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial activities of some new monosaccharide derivatives.

Project description:A regioselective acylation series of methyl ?-D-glucopyranoside (1), methyl 3-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-?-D-mannopyranoside (1A), and methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-O-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-?-D-mannopyranoside (1B) has been carried out by the direct acylation method and afforded the 2,6-di-O-glucopyranoside and 2 or 3-O-mannopyranoside derivatives in an excellent yield. In order to obtain newer products, the 2,6-di-O-glucopyranoside derivative was further transformed to a series of 3,4-di-O-acyl derivatives containing a wide variety of functionalities in a single molecular framework. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, (13)C-DEPT spectral data, and elemental analysis. These synthesized derivatives were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activities against ten human pathogenic and five phytopathogenic microorganisms. A number of test compounds showed remarkable antimicrobial activity comparable to, and in some cases even higher than, the standard antibiotics employed. It was observed that methyl 3,4-di-O-(3-chlorobenzoyl)-2,6-di-O-hexanoyl-?-D-glucopyranoside (8) exhibited a varied range of MIC from 12.5 ?g/disc to 25 ?g/disc by the disk diffusion method and 1000 ?g/mL to 1250 ?g/mL by the broth macrodilution method.

Identification of Cultured and Natural Astragalus Root Based on Monosaccharide Mapping.

Project description:As the main substances responsible for immunomodulatory activity, saccharides can be used as quality indicators for Astragalus root (RA). Saccharide content is commonly determined by ultraviolet spectroscopy, which lacks species specificity and has not been applied in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Monosaccharide mapping based on trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) hydrolysis can be used for quantitative analysis of saccharide compositions. In addition, species specificity can be evaluated by analysis of the mapping characteristics. In this study, monosaccharide mapping of soluble saccharides in the cytoplasm and polysaccharides in the cell wall of 24 batches of RA samples with different growth patterns were obtained based on TFA hydrolysis followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results indicated that the mapping and the molar ratios of saccharide compositions of the cultured and natural RA samples were different for both cytoplasm and cell wall. For example, the molar ratio of mannose and arabinose was more than 3.5:1 in cytoplasm in cultured RA, whereas the ratio was less than 3.5:1 in natural RA. This research not only lays a foundation for screening indicators for RA, but also provided new ways of evaluating the quality of Chinese medicinal materials in which saccharides are the main bioactive substances.

Conformational determinants necessary for secretion of Paecilomyces thermophila β-1,4-xylosidase that lacks a signal peptide.

Project description:In this study, we investigated the secretion mechanism of the hyper-secretion signal peptide-lacking β-xylosidase PtXyl43, a non-classically secreted protein, from the fungus Paecilomyces thermophila in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). PtXyl43 secretion is a two-step process, and the second step is accompanied by cell periplasmic leakage, indicating that PtXyl43 secretion is the result of semi-specific secretion. Homology modeling of PtXyl43 suggested that PtXyl43 had a canonical GH43 family β-xylosidase structure containing five blades. Seventeen blade deletions or circular mutants were designed to identify the conformational motif(s) involved in secretion. These mutants were expressed as recombinant, codon-optimized proteins in E. coli. Notably, only mutants containing blades 2-4 were effectively secreted. Blades 2-4 are necessary for secretion, but it appears that blade 1 or 5 must be present to maintain the structure of blades 2-4. Simultaneous deletion of blades 1 and 5 dramatically reduces excretion. The covalent and sequential linking of blades of 2, 3 and 4 are important for the excretion of mutants, as separate blades of 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 abolishes excretion. Fusion with PtXyl43 promotes the excretion of GFP from the periplasm to the extracellular milieu, which suggested that PtXyl43 had the potential to carry proteins. This study provides new insights into secretory mechanism of secretable signal peptide-lacking proteins in E. coli. To our knowledge, this is the first to definitively identify the conformational determinants for secretion of a signal peptide-lacking GH43 family β-xylosidase. This finding also has application potential for the secretion of recombinant proteins.

Robust competitive facility location model with uncertain demand types.

Project description:In competitive settings, firms locate their facilities according to customers' behavior to maximize their market share. A common behavior is consuming from different motivations: one is for convenient demand, and the other is for quality demand. In this behavioral pattern, consumers patronize facilities within convenience for some demands, and patronize high quality facilities beyond convenience range for other demands. This behavior has never been included in competitive facility location problems. Given several other companies' facilities in the market offering similar products or services, we study how a new entrant company can locate facilities based on this customer behavior to maximize its market share. A two-level robust model for the new entrant company is proposed to locate its facilities by taking into account the uncertainty of the types of customers' demands. For medium size problems, we propose an equivalent mixed binary linear programming to obtain exact solutions. For large size problems, an exact algorithm (GCKP-A) for solving the inner-level model is given first by exploring the optimal solution. Then a heuristic algorithm is proposed by imbedding (GCKP-A) and 2-opt strategy into the framework of the improved ranking-based algorithm. The performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm is checked for different size problems. The sensitivity analysis of a quasi-real example shows that: (1) in most cases, the uncertainty between two types of demands does not affect the location scheme; (2) the convenience range, the quality range and the quality threshold play an important role in the market share of the new entrant company.
