Sulfoxide synthases are non-heme iron enzymes that participate in the biosynthesis of thiohistidines, such as ergothioneine and ovothiol A. The sulfoxide synthase EgtB from Chloracidobacterium thermophilum (CthEgtB) catalyzes oxidative coupling between the side chains of N-α-trimethyl histidine (TMH) and cysteine (Cys) in a reaction that entails complete reduction of molecular oxygen, carbon–sulfur (C−S) and sulfur–oxygen (S−O) bond formation as well as carbon–hydrogen (C−H) bond cleavage. In this report, we show that CthEgtB and other bacterial sulfoxide synthases cannot efficiently accept selenocysteine (SeCys) as a substrate in place of cysteine. In contrast, the sulfoxide synthase from the filamentous fungus Chaetomium thermophilum (CthEgt1) catalyzes C−S and C−Se bond formation at almost equal efficiency. We discuss evidence suggesting that this functional difference between bacterial and fungal sulfoxide synthases emerges from different modes of oxygen activation. 相似文献

A sensitive analytical method has been developed and validated for the quantification of L‐ergothioneine in human plasma and erythrocytes by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry. A commercially available isotope‐labeled L‐ergothioneine‐d9 is used as the internal standard. A simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile is utilized for bio‐sample preparation prior to analysis. Chromatographic separation of L‐ergothioneine is conducted using gradient elution on Alltime C18 (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 µ). The run time is 6 min at a constant flow rate of 0.45 ml/min. The mass spectrometer is operated under a positive electrospray ionization condition with multiple reaction monitoring mode. The mass transitions of L‐ergothioneine and L‐ergothioneine‐d9 are m/z 230 > 127 and m/z 239 > 127, respectively. Excellent linearity [coefficient of determination (r2) ≥ 0.9998] can be achieved for L‐ergothioneine quantification at the ranges of 10 to 10 000 ng/ml, with the intra‐day and inter‐day precisions at 0.9–3.9% and 1.3–5.7%, respectively, and the accuracies for all quality control samples between 94.5 and 101.0%. This validated analytical method is suitable for pharmacokinetic monitoring of L‐ergothioneine in human and erythrocytes. Based on the determination of bio‐samples from five healthy subjects, the mean concentrations of L‐ergothioneine in plasma and erythrocytes are 107.4 ± 20.5 ng/ml and 1285.0 ± 1363.0 ng/ml, respectively.

The non‐heme iron enzyme EgtB catalyzes O2‐dependent C? S bond formation between γ‐glutamyl cysteine and N‐α‐trimethyl histidine as the central step in ergothioneine biosynthesis. Both, the catalytic activity and the architecture of EgtB are distinct from known sulfur transferases or thiol dioxygenases. The crystal structure of EgtB from Mycobacterium thermoresistibile in complex with γ‐glutamyl cysteine and N‐α‐trimethyl histidine reveals that the two substrates and three histidine residues serve as ligands in an octahedral iron binding site. This active site geometry is consistent with a catalytic mechanism in which C? S bond formation is initiated by an iron(III)‐complexed thiyl radical attacking the imidazole ring of N‐α‐trimethyl histidine. 相似文献

The native amino acid ergothioneine, a thiourea derivative of histidine, inhibits mushroom tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent
manner, with an IC50 value of 1.025 mg/ml (4.47 mM). By contrast, histidine exhibited no inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase activity. We
characterized ergothioneine as a noncompetitive tyrosinase inhibitor using a Lineweaver–Burk plot of experimental kinetic
data. The IC50 value for ergothioneine scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl was 6.110 ± 0.305 mg/ml, much higher than the IC50 for inhibition of tyrosinase activity which indicating ergothioneine on tyrosinase shows a weak correlation to its antioxidative
activity. The results demonstrated that ergothioneine has a potent inhibition effect on tyrosinase enzyme activity, resulting
from the presence of the sulfur substituted imidazole ring in ergothioneine. 相似文献

The N‐α‐trimethyl 2‐selenohistidine selenoneine is the selenium isolog of the natural antioxidant ergothioneine. Sulfur‐to‐selenium substitutions are known to endow proteins and nucleic acids with special activities. In contrast, secondary metabolites that exploit selenium‐specific chemistry are rare. Selenoneine therefore provides a unique opportunity to study how natural organoselenides interact with cellular processes. In this report we describe the chemical synthesis of selenoneine and other 2‐selenoimidazoles. With synthetic selenoneine at hand we discovered a set of reactivities that distinguish selenoneine from ergothioneine, showing that the two compounds can fill distinct functional niches. Synthetic access to 2‐selenoimidazoles should pave the way to explore the pharmaceutical potential and physiological function of this heretofore inaccessible class of compounds. 相似文献

Peroxygenases are heme‐dependent enzymes that use peroxide‐borne oxygen to catalyze a wide range of oxyfunctionalization reactions. Herein, we report the engineering of an unusual cofactor‐independent peroxygenase based on a promiscuous tautomerase that accepts different hydroperoxides (t‐BuOOH and H2O2) to accomplish enantiocomplementary epoxidations of various α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes (citral and substituted cinnamaldehydes), providing access to both enantiomers of the corresponding α,β‐epoxy‐aldehydes. High conversions (up to 98 %), high enantioselectivity (up to 98 % ee), and good product yields (50–80 %) were achieved. The reactions likely proceed via a reactive enzyme‐bound iminium ion intermediate, allowing tweaking of the enzyme's activity and selectivity by protein engineering. Our results underscore the potential of catalytic promiscuity for the engineering of new cofactor‐independent oxidative enzymes. 相似文献

Barium thio‐oxocobaltate(II), Ba[CoS2/2O2/2], was synthesized by the reaction of equimolar amounts of BaO, Co, and S in closed silica ampoules. The title compound (Cmcm, a=3.98808(3), b=12.75518(9), c=6.10697(4) Å) is isostructural to Ba[ZnSO]. The use of soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed that cobalt is in the oxidation state +2 and tetrahedrally coordinated. Its coordination consists of two sulfur and two oxygen atoms in an ordered fashion. High‐temperature magnetic susceptibility data indicate strong low‐dimensional spin–spin interactions, which are suggested to be closely related to the layer‐type crystal structure and perhaps the ordered distribution of sulfur and oxygen. Antiferromagnetic ordering below TN=222 K is observed as an anomaly in the specific heat, coinciding with a significant lowering of the magnetic susceptibility. Density functional theory calculations within a generalized‐gradient approximation (GGA)+U approach identify an antiferromagnetic ground state within the square‐like two‐dimensional layers of Co, and antiferromagnetic correlations for nearest and next nearest neighbors along bonds mediated by oxygen or sulfur. However, this magnetic state is subject to frustration by relatively strong interlayer couplings. 相似文献

A short overview on the structural design of the Hoveyda–Grubbs‐type ruthenium initiators chelated through oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms is presented. Our aim was to compare and contrast O‐, N‐ and S‐chelated ruthenium complexes to better understand the impact of electron‐withdrawing and ‐donating substituents on the geometry and activity of the ruthenium complexes and to gain further insight into the trans–cis isomerisation process of the S‐chelated complexes. To evaluate the different effects of chelating heteroatoms and to probe electronic effects on sulfur‐ and nitrogen‐chelated latent catalysts, we synthesised a series of novel complexes. These catalysts were compared against two well‐known oxygen‐chelated initiators and a sulfoxide‐chelated complex. The structures of the new complexes have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and analysed to search for correlations between the structural features and activity. The replacement of the oxygen‐chelating atom by a sulfur or nitrogen atom resulted in catalysts that were inert at room temperature for typical ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) and cross‐metathesis reactions and showed catalytic activity only at higher temperatures. Furthermore, one nitrogen‐chelated initiator demonstrated thermo‐switchable behaviour in RCM reactions, similar to its sulfur‐chelated counterparts. 相似文献

The effects of heteroatom‐containing ferrocene catalysts on the materials produced from chemical vapour deposition (CVD) floating catalyst synthesis were investigated. Specifically, the influence of nitrogen‐ and oxygen‐containing ferrocenoyl imidazolide and (N‐phenylcarbamoyl)ferrocene, and sulfur‐ and oxygen‐containing S,S‐bis(ferrocenylmethyl)dithiocarbonate on the structural morphology and distribution of the products as well as properties such as the thermal stability and crystallinity were studied. In addition, the influence of reaction parameters such as catalyst concentration and temperature were also investigated. The nitrogen‐containing catalysts produced N‐doped multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (N‐MWCNTs), whereas the sulfur‐containing catalyst produced primarily nano‐ and microspheres. A concentration of 2.5 wt% ferrocenoyl imidazolide was shown to be optimal for the synthesis of MWCNTs at 850 °C, with very low metal iron residue, highest thermal stability and highest yield (95%). In general, bamboo compartment length for N‐doped MWCNTs increased with temperature. Crystallinity trends were shown to be independent of catalyst and catalyst concentration in all cases and only dependent on temperature. The average diameter for MWCNTs was shown to be dependent on temperature, choice of catalyst and catalyst concentration in all cases. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Revised δ34S reference values with associated expanded uncertainties (95% confidence interval (C.I.)) are presented for the sulfur isotope reference materials IAEA‐S‐2 (22.62 ± 0.16‰) and IAEA‐S‐3 (−32.49 ± 0.16‰). These revised values are determined using two relative‐difference measurement techniques, gas source isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GIRMS) and double‐spike multi‐collector thermal ionization mass spectrometry (MC‐TIMS). Gas analyses have traditionally been considered the most robust for relative isotopic difference measurements of sulfur. The double‐spike MC‐TIMS technique provides an independent method for value‐assignment validation and produces revised values that are both unbiased and more precise than previous value assignments. Unbiased δ34S values are required to anchor the positive and negative end members of the sulfur delta (δ) scale because they are the basis for reporting both δ34S values and the derived mass‐independent Δ33S and Δ36S values.

6‐Thioguanine (6TG) is a DNA‐targeting therapeutic used in the treatment of various cancers. While 6TG was rationally designed as a proof of concept for antimetabolite therapy, it is also a rare thioamide‐bearing bacterial natural product and critical virulence factor of Erwinia amylovorans, plant pathogens that cause fire blight. Through gene expression, biochemical assays, and mutational analyses, we identified a specialized bipartite enzyme system, consisting of an ATP‐dependent sulfur transferase (YcfA) and a sulfur‐mobilizing enzyme (YcfC), that is responsible for the peculiar oxygen‐by‐sulfur substitution found in the biosynthesis of 6TG. Mechanistic and phylogenetic studies revealed that YcfA‐mediated 6TG biosynthesis evolved from ancient tRNA modifications that support translational fidelity. The successful in vitro reconstitution of 6TG thioamidation showed that YcfA employs a specialized sulfur shuttle that markedly differs from universal RNA‐related systems. This study sheds light on underexplored enzymatic C?S bond formation in natural product biosynthesis. 相似文献

Ergothioneine is a sulfur-containing histidine derivative that emerges from microbial biosynthesis and enters the human body through intestinal uptake and regulated distribution into specific tissues. Although the proteins involved in biosynthesis and uptake are well characterized, less is known about the degradative pathways of ergothioneine. This report describes the crystal structure of the active form of ergothionase from the oral pathogen Treponema denticola complexed with the substrate analogue desmethyl-ergothioneine sulfonic acid. This enzyme catalyzes the 1,2-elimination of trimethylamine from ergothioneine and ergothioneine sulfonic acid by using a unique mode of substrate activation combined with acid/base catalysis. This structural and mechanistic investigation revealed four essential catalytic residues, which are strictly conserved in homologous proteins from common gastrointestinal bacteria and numerous pathogenic bacteria, suggesting that bacterial activity may play an important role in determining the availability of ergothioneine in healthy and diseased human tissue. 相似文献

The orange cerium‐niobium‐oxysulfide Ce3NbO4S3 was synthesized by the solid state reaction of CeO2, Ce‐metal, Nb2O5 and sulfur at 1100 °C. The crystal structure has orthorhombic symmetry (space group Pbam, a = 7.055(1), b = 14.571(3), c = 7.627(2) Å, Z = 4) and contains isolated [Nb2S4O6]10− ions consisting of two strongly distorted, edge sharing NbO3SS2/2 octahedra. Niobium is connected to three oxygen and three sulfur atoms. The cerium atoms are eightfold coordinated by oxygen and sulfur atoms. Certain oxygen and sulfur atoms are not connected to niobium, but exclusively surrounded by cerium. By connecting these cation polyhedra, one recognizes layers of polycations perpendicular to the c‐axis. The magnetic susceptibility shows Curie‐Weiss behavior with an effective magnetic moment μeff = 2.63(1) μB/Ce in agreement with Ce3+. A Weiss‐constant θp = –12(1) K indicates weak antiferromagnetic coupling. No magnetic ordering was detected above 2 K. 相似文献

During the reaction of cadmium sulfide with erbium and sulfur in evacuated silica ampoules pink lath‐shaped crystals of Er2S[SiO4] occur as by‐product which were characterized by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis. The title compound crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Cmce (a = 1070.02(8), b = 1235.48(9), c = 683.64(6) pm) with eight formula units per unit cell. Besides isolated ortho‐oxosilicate units [SiO4]4?, the crystal structure contains two crystallographically independent Er3+ cations which are both eightfold coordinated by six oxygen and two sulfur atoms. The sulfide anions are surrounded by four erbium cations each in the shape of very distorted tetrahedra. These excentric [SEr4]10+ tetrahedra build up layers according to by vertex‐ and edge‐connection. They are piled parallel to (010) and separated by the isolated ortho‐oxosilicate tetrahedra. 相似文献

AlkB repair enzymes are important nonheme iron enzymes that catalyse the demethylation of alkylated DNA bases in humans, which is a vital reaction in the body that heals externally damaged DNA bases. Its mechanism is currently controversial and in order to resolve the catalytic mechanism of these enzymes, a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) study was performed on the demethylation of the N1‐methyladenine fragment by AlkB repair enzymes. Firstly, the initial modelling identified the oxygen binding site of the enzyme. Secondly, the oxygen activation mechanism was investigated and a novel pathway was found, whereby the catalytically active iron(IV)–oxo intermediate in the catalytic cycle undergoes an initial isomerisation assisted by an Arg residue in the substrate binding pocket, which then brings the oxo group in close contact with the methyl group of the alkylated DNA base. This enables a subsequent rate‐determining hydrogen‐atom abstraction on competitive σ‐ and π‐pathways on a quintet spin‐state surface. These findings give evidence of different locations of the oxygen and substrate binding channels in the enzyme and the origin of the separation of the oxygen‐bound intermediates in the catalytic cycle from substrate. Our studies are compared with small model complexes and the effect of protein and environment on the kinetics and mechanism is explained. 相似文献

Mixed‐donor atom tetramethoxy resorcinarene bis‐thiacrown hosts, in which the crown unit contains both hard oxygen and soft sulfur donor atoms, were synthesized for soft metal cation binding. The binding properties were investigated both in solution and in the solid state by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. It was found that the resorcinarene bis‐thiacrowns were able to complex silver cations with remarkable affinity forming readily 1:2 host–guest complexes in solution. The solid state structures also revealed that the bis‐thiacrowns form silver complexes in an unanticipated endo‐ and exo‐cavity fashion within the same host molecule. Both the solution and solid state studies indicated the sulfur atoms to be the major contributing donor atoms in forming the binding interactions with silver cations. 相似文献

Carboxy‐substituted trityl (triarylmethyl) radicals are valuable in vivo probes because of their stability, narrow lines, and sensitivity of their spectroscopic properties to oxygen. Amino‐substituted trityl radicals have the potential to monitor pH in vivo, and the suitability for this application depends on spectral properties. Electron spin relaxation times T1 and T2 were measured at X‐band for the protonated and deprotonated forms of two amino‐substituted triarylmethyl radicals. Comparison with relaxation times for carboxy‐substituted triarylmethyl radicals shows that T1 exhibits little dependence on protonation or the nature of the substituent, which makes it useful for measuring O2 concentration, independent of pH. Insensitivity of T1 to changes in substituents is consistent with the assignment of the dominant contribution to spin lattice relaxation as a local mode that involves primarily atoms in the carbon and sulfur core. Values of T2 vary substantially with pH and the nature of the aryl group substituent, reflecting a range of dynamic processes. The narrow spectral widths for the amino‐substituted triarylmethyl radicals facilitate spectral‐spatial rapid scan electron paramagnetic resonance imaging, which was demonstrated with a phantom. The dependence of hyperfine splittings patterns on pH is revealed in spectral slices through the image. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Formylglycine‐generating enzymes are of increasing interest in the field of bioconjugation chemistry. They catalyze the site‐specific oxidation of a cysteine residue to the aldehyde‐containing amino acid Cα‐formylglycine (FGly). This non‐canonical residue can be generated within any desired target protein and can subsequently be used for bioorthogonal conjugation reactions. The prototypic formylglycine‐generating enzyme (FGE) and the iron‐sulfur protein AtsB display slight variations in their recognition sequences. We designed specific tags in peptides and proteins that were selectively converted by the different enzymes. Combination of the different tag motifs within a single peptide or recombinant protein enabled the independent and consecutive introduction of two formylglycine residues and the generation of heterobifunctionalized protein conjugates. 相似文献
