A crystal structure of an autophagy receptor with a ligand reveals how Salmonella is specifically targeted for degradation.
Herein, we discovered an efficient flavone 6-C-glycosyltransferase GcCGT from the medicinal plant Gentiana crassicaulis. could catalyze consecutive two-step 6-C/4′-O-glycosylation of flavonoids. Homology modeling and site-directed mutagenesis yielded mutant F387K, which unprecedented 6-C-glycosylation 8-C-glycosides to produce 6,8-di-C-glycosides. To elucidate catalytic mechanisms, crystal structures GcCGT-apo (2.10 Å) GcCGT/UDP (2.40 were resolved. Structural analysis molecular dynamics...
Glycosylation is an important post-modification reaction in plant secondary metabolism, and contributes to structural diversity of bioactive natural products. In plants, glycosylation usually catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases. Flavonoid 2'-O-glycosides are rare glycosides. However, no UGTs have been reported, thus far, specifically catalyze 2'-O-glycosylation flavonoids. this work, UGT71AP2 was identified from the medicinal Scutellaria baicalensis as first flavonoid...
Degradation via enzymatic processes for the production of valuable β-1,3-glucooligosaccharides (GOS) from curdlan has attracted considerable interest. CBM6E functions as a curdlan-specific β-1,3-endoglucanase, composed glycoside hydrolase family 128 (GH128) module and carbohydrate-binding (CBM) derived CBM6.
Catalytic selective hydroxylation of unactivated aliphatic (sp3 ) C-H bonds without a directing group represents formidable task for synthetic chemists. Through directed evolution P450BSβ hydroxylase, we realize oxyfunctionalization in broad spectrum carboxylic acids with varied chain lengths, functional groups and (hetero-)aromatic moieties highly chemo-, regio- enantioselective fashion (>30 examples, Cβ/Cα>20 : 1, >99 % ee). The X-ray structure the evolved variant, -L78I/Q85H/G290I,...
Posttranslational rhamnosylation of EF-P plays a key role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa , establishing virulence and antibiotic resistance, as well survival. The detailed structural biochemical characterization the EF-P-specific rhamnosyltransferase EarP from P. not only demonstrates that sugar donor TDP-Rha binding enhances acceptor to but also should provide valuable information for structure-guided development its inhibitors against infections other EarP-containing pathogens.
Abstract Subfamily 37 of the glycoside hydrolase family GH13 was recently established on basis discovery a novel α-amylase, designated AmyP, from marine metagenomic library. AmyP exhibits raw-starch-degrading activity and consists an N-terminal catalytic domain C-terminal starch-binding domain. To understand this newest subfamily, we determined crystal structure named ΔSBD , complexed with maltose, E221Q mutant maltotriose. Glu221 is one three conserved residues, inactivated by mutation....
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Spp1, a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger containing protein, is critical subunit of the histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex proteins associated with Set1 (COMPASS). The chromatin binding affinity PHD Spp1 has been proposed to modulate COMPASS activity. During meiosis, plays another role in promoting programmed double-strand break (DSB) formation by H3K4me3 via its and interacting DSB Mer2. However, how performs site-specific readout still not fully understood. In...
Chalcones are widely present in most plants and have various health beneficial functions. This study investigates the suppressive effect of 13 natural synthetic chalcones on transformation aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) a cell-free system, Hepa-1c1c7 cells, liver ICR mice.
Microalgae starch is receiving increasing attention as a renewable feedstock for biofuel production. Raw microalgae from Tetraselmis subcordiformis was proven to be very efficiently hydrolyzed by an α-amylase (AmyP) of glycoside hydrolase subfamily GH13_37 below the temperature gelatinization (40 °C). The hydrolysis degree reached 74.4 ± 2.2% 4% raw and 53.2 1.7% 8% after only 2 h. efficiency significantly stimulated calcium ions. enzyme catalysis AmyP its mutants (Q306A E347A) suggested...
Abstract Background Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) represent a novel family of heme that use H 2 O as the final electron acceptor to catalyze oxidation various organic compounds. A DyP from Irpex lacteus F17 ( Il -DyP4, corresponding GenBank MG209114), obtained by heterologous expression, exhibits high catalytic efficiency for phenolic compounds and strong decolorizing ability toward synthetic dyes. However, enzyme structure residues involved in substrate remain poorly understood....
