Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient glucocerebrosidase activity. We have previously shown that the cellular activity of the most common Gaucher disease-associated glucocerebrosidase variant, N370S, is increased when patient-derived cells are cultured with the chemical chaperone N-nonyl-deoxynojirimycin. Chemical chaperones stabilize proteins against misfolding, enabling their trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum. Herein, the generality of this therapeutic strategy is evaluated with other glucocerebrosidase variants and with additional candidate chemical chaperones. Improved chemical chaperones are identified for N370S glucocerebrosidase. Moreover, we demonstrate that G202R, a glucocerebrosidase variant that is known to be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, is also amenable to chemical chaperoning. The L444P variant is not chaperoned by any of the active site-directed molecules tested, likely because this mutation destabilizes a domain distinct from the catalytic domain. 相似文献

The conversion of methyl carbamate to the corresponding free amine is described for a series of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucosamine derivatives. Cleavage of methoxycarbonyl moiety with MeSiCl(3) and triethylamine in dry THF at 60 degrees C and subsequent aqueous hydrolysis yields the free amine in 54 to 93% yields. The selective cleavage of methyl carbamates with MeSiCl(3) in the presence of a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group or 2-azido glycosides affords selectively, orthogonal N-deprotected carbohydrates. 相似文献

Background
cAMP is an ubiquitous second messenger mediating various neuronal functions, often as a consequence of increased intracellular Ca2+ levels. While imaging of calcium is commonly used in neuroscience applications, probing for cAMP levels has not yet been performed in living vertebrate neuronal tissue before. 相似文献4.

Feeding strategies of earthworms and their influence on soil processes are often inferred from morphological, behavioral and physiological traits. We used (13)C and (15)N natural abundance in earthworms, soils and plants to explore patterns of resource utilization by different species of earthworms in three tropical ecosystems in Puerto Rico. In a high altitude dwarf forest, native earthworms Trigaster longissimus and Estherella sp. showed less (15)N enrichment ((15)N = 3-6 per thousand) than exotic Pontoscolex corethrurus ((15)N =7-9 per thousand) indicating different food sources or stronger isotopic discrimination by the latter. Conversely, in a lower altitude tabonuco forest, Estherella sp. and P. corethrurus overlapped completely in (15)N enrichment ((15)N = 6-9 per thousand), suggesting the potential for interspecific competition for N resources. A tabonuco forest converted to pasture contained only P. corethrurus which were less enriched in (15)N than those in the forest sites, but more highly enriched in (13)C suggesting assimilation of C from the predominant C(4) grass. These results support the utility of stable isotopes to delineate resource partitioning and potential competitive interactions among earthworm species. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
