Picromycin/methymycin synthase (PICS) is a modular polyketide synthase (PKS) that is responsible for the biosynthesis of both 10-deoxymethynolide (1) and narbonolide (2), the parent 12- and 14-membered aglycone precursors of the macrolide antibiotics methymycin and picromycin, respectively. PICS module 2 is a dehydratase (DH)-containing module that catalyzes the formation of the unsaturated triketide intermediate using malonyl-CoA as the chain extension substrate. Recombinant PICS module 2+TE, with the PICS thioesterase domain appended to the C-terminus to allow release of polyketide products, was expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified PICS module 2+TE converted malonyl-CoA and 4, the N-acetylcysteamine thioester of (2S,3R)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoic acid, to a 1:2 mixture of the triketide acid (4S,5R)-4-methyl-5-hydroxy-2-heptenoic acid (5) and (3S,4S,5R)-3,5-dihydroxy-4-methyl-n-heptanoic acid-delta-lactone (10) with a combined kcat of 0.6 min(-1). The triketide lactone 10 is formed by thioesterase-catalyzed cyclization of the corresponding d-3-hydroxyacyl-SACP intermediate, a reaction which competes with dehydration catalyzed by the dehydratase domain. PICS module 2+TE showed a strong preference for the syn-diketide-SNAC 4, with a 20-fold greater kcat/K(m) than the anti-(2S,3S)-diketide-SNAC 14, and a 40-fold advantage over the syn-(2R,3S)-diketide-SNAC 13. PICS module 2(DH(0))+TE, with an inactivated DH domain, produced exclusively 10, while three PICS module 2(KR(0))+TE mutants, with inactivated KR domains, produced exclusively or predominantly the unreduced triketide ketolactone, (4S,5R)-3-oxo-4-methyl-5-hydroxy-n-heptanoic acid-delta-lactone (7). These studies establish for the first time the structure and stereochemistry of the intermediates of a polyketide chain elongation cycle catalyzed by a DH-containing module, while confirming the importance of key active site residues in both KR and DH domains. 相似文献

Background
Growth hormone (GH) plays an incompletely understood role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we use transgenic mice expressing a growth hormone antagonist (GHA) to explore the role of GH in regulating postnatal brain, spinal cord and body growth into adulthood. The GHA transgene encodes a protein that inhibits the binding of GH to its receptor, specifically antagonizing the trophic effects of endogenous GH. 相似文献3.

Fusion cross-sections for the 7Li + 12C reaction have been measured at energies above the Coulomb barrier by the direct detection of evaporation residues. The heavy
evaporation residues with energies below 3 MeV could not be separated out from the α-particles in the spectrum and hence their
contribution was estimated using statistical model calculations. The present work indicates that suppression of fusion cross-sections
due to the breakup of 7Li may not be significant for 7Li + 12C reaction at energies around the barrier. 相似文献

The results are presented of three-dimensional model studies of the photodissociation of the water dimer following excitation in the first absorption band. Diabatic potential-energy surfaces are used to investigate the photodissociation following excitation of the hydrogen bond donor molecule and of the hydrogen bond acceptor molecule. In both cases, the degrees of freedom considered are the two OH-stretch modes of the molecule being excited, and the dimer stretch vibration. The diabatic potentials are based on adiabatic potential surfaces computed with the multireference configuration-interaction method, and the dynamics of dissociation was studied using the time-dependent wave-packet method. The dynamics calculations yield a donor spectrum extending over roughly the same range of frequencies as the spectrum of the water monomer computed at the same level of theory. The acceptor spectrum has the same width as the monomer spectrum, but is shifted to the blue by 0.4-0.5 eV. The dimer spectrum obtained by averaging the donor and the acceptor spectrum is broader than the monomer spectrum, with the center of the dimer first absorption band shifted to the blue by about 0.2 eV relative to the monomer band. Our reduced dimensionality calculations do not find the red tail predicted for the dimer first absorption band by Harvey et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 109, 8747 (1998)]. This conclusion also holds if preexcitation of the dimer stretch vibration with one or two quanta is considered. 相似文献

The equilibrium geometry, the Raman and IR vibrational spectra at the Γ point, TO–LO splitting, IR intensities, Born and dielectric
tensors of magnesite MgCO3, dolomite MgCa(CO3)2 and calcite CaCO3 have been calculated with the periodic ab initio program CRYSTAL, by using an all-electron gaussian type basis set and the
B3LYP hamiltonian. LO (longitudinal-optical) modes are computed by correcting the dynamical matrix through Born charges and
high frequency dielectric tensors obtained from well localized Wannier functions and a saw-tooth computational scheme. The
mean absolute difference between calculated and experimental frequencies (IR TO and LO and RAMAN) is as small as 6.9 cm−1 for magnesite, 7.7 cm−1 for dolomite and 8.5 cm−1 for calcite. Calculated IR intensities are in semiquantitative agreement with experiment. The modes of the three compounds
are compared through graphical animation available on the CRYSTAL web-site. 相似文献

IR spectra of pyrope Mg(3)Al(2)Si(3)O(12), grossular Ca(3)Al(2)Si(3)O(12) and andradite Ca(3)Fe(2)Si(3)O(12) garnets were simulated with the periodic ab initio CRYSTAL code by adopting an all-electron Gaussian-type basis set and the B3LYP Hamiltonian. Two sets of 17 F(1u) Transverse Optical (TO) and Longitudinal Optical (LO) frequencies were generated, together with their intensities. Because the generation of LO modes requires knowledge of the high frequency dielectric constant epsilon(infinity) and Born effective charges, they were preliminary evaluated by using a finite field saw-tooth model and well localized Wannier functions, respectively. As a by-product, the static dielectric constant epsilon(0) was also obtained. The agreement of the present calculated wavenumbers (i.e. peak positions) with the available experimental data is excellent, in that the mean absolute difference for the full set of data smaller than 8 cm(-1). Missing peaks in experimental spectra were found to correspond to modes with low calculated intensities. Correspondence between TO and LO modes was established on the basis of the overlap between the eigenvectors of the two sets and similarity of isotopic shifts; as result, the so called LO-TO splitting could be determined. Animation of the normal modes was employed to support the proposed pairing. 相似文献

Using Brillouin scattering, we measured the single-crystal elastic constants (C(ij)'s) of a prototypical metal-organic framework (MOF): zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 [Zn(2-methylimidazolate)(2)], which adopts a zeolitic sodalite topology and exhibits large porosity. Its C(ij)'s under ambient conditions are (in GPa) C(11)=9.522(7), C(12)=6.865(14), and C(44)=0.967(4). Tensorial analysis of the C(ij)'s reveals the complete picture of the anisotropic elasticity in cubic ZIF-8. We show that ZIF-8 has a remarkably low shear modulus G(min) < or approximately 1 GPa, which is the lowest yet reported for a single-crystalline extended solid. Using ab initio calculations, we demonstrate that ZIF-8's C(ij)'s can be reliably predicted, and its elastic deformation mechanism is linked to the pliant ZnN(4) tetrahedra. Our results shed new light on the role of elastic constants in establishing the structural stability of MOF materials and thus their suitability for practical applications. 相似文献

Background
The 5-HT3 receptor is a member of a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel family which includes nicotinic acetylcholine, GABAA, and glycine receptors. While antibodies specific for the 5-HT3A receptor subunit are plentiful, and have revealed a wealth of structural and functional information, few antisera exist for the detection of 5-HT3B receptor subunits. Here we describe the generation and characterisation of a rabbit polyclonal antiserum that specifically recognises 5-HT3B receptor subunits 相似文献10.
The reactivity of the 2,2′-, 2,4′-, 4,4′-dibenzyldiisocyanate (2,2′-, 2,4′-, 4,4′-DBDI) with n-butanol in benzene has been studied. The concentrations of all species were monitored by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reactivity of 4,4′-DBDI is similar to that of 4,4′-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (4,4′-MDI). Very strong intramolecular catalytic effects were noticed in the case of 2,2′-DBDI, probably due to the variable molecular geometry. These effects are responsible for the whole reaction pattern. The 2,4′-DBDI NCO ortho and para groups reactivities are different and comparable to that of 2,4-toluylenediisocyanate (2,4-TDI). 相似文献
