Light-induced conversion of Trp to Gly and Gly hydroperoxide in IgG1.

ABSTRACT: The exposure of IgG1 in aqueous solution to light with ? = 254 nm or ? > 295 nm yields products consistent with Trp radical cation formation followed by (?)C-(?)C cleavage of the Trp side chain. The resulting glycyl radicals either are reduced to Gly or add oxygen prior to reduction to Gly hydroperoxide. Photoirradiation at ? = 254 nm targets Trp at positions 191 (light chain), 309 and 377 (heavy chain) while photoirradiation at ? > 295 nm targets Trp at position 309 (heavy chain). Mechanistically, the formation of Trp radical cations likely proceeds via photoinduced electron or hydrogen transfer to disulfide bonds, yielding thiyl radicals and thiols, where thiols may serve as reductants for the intermediary glycyl or glycylperoxyl radicals.

The exposure of IgG1 in aqueous solution to light with λ = 254 nm or λ > 295 nm yields products consistent with Trp radical cation formation followed by (α)C-(β)C cleavage of the Trp side chain. The resulting glycyl radicals either are reduced to Gly or add oxygen prior to reduction to Gly hydroperoxide. Photoirradiation at λ = 254 nm targets Trp at positions 191 (light chain), 309 and 377 (heavy chain) while photoirradiation at λ > 295 nm targets Trp at position 309 (heavy chain).

Trp replacements for tightly interacting Gly-Gly pairs in LacY stabilize an outward-facing conformation.

Project description:Trp replacements for conserved Gly-Gly pairs between the N- and C-terminal six-helix bundles on the periplasmic side of lactose permease (LacY) cause complete loss of transport activity with little or no effect on sugar binding. Moreover, the detergent-solubilized mutants exhibit much greater thermal stability than WT LacY. A Cys replacement for Asn245, which is inaccessible/unreactive in WT LacY, alkylates readily in the Gly?Trp mutants, indicating that the periplasmic cavity is patent. Stopped-flow kinetic measurements of sugar binding with the Gly?Trp mutants in detergent reveal linear dependence of binding rates on sugar concentration, as observed with WT or the C154G mutant of LacY, and are compatible with free access to the sugar-binding site in the middle of the molecule. Remarkably, after reconstitution of the Gly?Trp mutants into proteoliposomes, the concentration dependence of sugar-binding rates increases sharply with even faster rates than measured in detergent. Such behavior is strikingly different from that observed for reconstituted WT LacY, in which sugar-binding rates are independent of sugar concentration because opening of the periplasmic cavity is limiting for sugar binding. The observations clearly indicate that Gly?Trp replacements, which introduce bulky residues into tight Gly-Gly interdomain interactions on the periplasmic side of LacY, prevent closure of the periplasmic cavity and, as a result, shift the distribution of LacY toward an outward-open conformation.

The enzymic conversion of linoleic acid hydroperoxide by flax-seed hydroperoxide isomerase.

Project description:1. The mode of action of flax-seed hydroperoxide isomerase was studied in vitro by using as substrates linoleic acid hydroperoxides formed by soya-bean lipoxygenase. 2. The enzyme converts only 13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-cis-9-trans-11-dienoic acid, whereas the 9-hydroperoxy isomer does not react. 3. The isomerization product was identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods as 13-hydroxy-12-oxo-octadec-cis-9-enoic acid. 4. 12,13-Epoxyoleic acid isomers do not act as intermediates in the isomerization reaction. 5. Suggestions for a functional relationship between hydroperoxide isomerase and lipoxygenase are discussed.

Structural and functional effect of Trp-62-->Gly and Asp-101-->Gly substitutions on substrate-binding modes of mutant hen egg-white lysozymes.

Project description:In order to clarify the structural role of subsite B of hen egg-white lysozyme in hydrolytic activity towards a carbohydrate substrate, we analysed the structures of Trp-62-->Gly and Asp-101-->Gly mutant hen lysozymes, which have no side chain at positions 62 or 101, complexed with a substrate analogue, (N-acetyl-d-glucosamine)3 [(GlcNAc)3], using X-ray crystallography. The overall protein structures in the mutant lysozyme complexes were almost identical to those in the wild type. In the crystals of all the mutant complexes, the (GlcNAc)3 molecule, which is an inhibitor of wild-type lysozyme, had no inhibitory effect, but was hydrolysed as a substrate. One of the products, (GlcNAc)2, the reducing end of which is an alpha-anomer, was bound in an unproductive binding mode, protruding from the active-site cleft, and was able to act as an inhibitor. Hydrolysis of the synthetic substrate by the mutants occurred in a beta-anomer-retaining manner, and so the alpha-anomer product was converted from the beta-anomer product. Thus the interactions of Asp-101 and Trp-62 in subsite B are not essential for the catalytic mechanism, but co-operatively enhance the affinity of the substrate in the productive binding mode, other than the inhibitor in the unproductive mode.

The proton-coupled amino acid transporter, SLC36A1 (hPAT1), transports Gly-Gly, Gly-Sar and other Gly-Gly mimetics.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The intestinal proton-coupled amino acid transporter, SLC36A1, transports zwitterionic ?-amino acids and drugs such as vigabatrin, gaboxadol and ?-aminolevulinic acid. We hypothesize that SLC36A1 might also transport some dipeptides. The aim of the present study was to investigate SLC36A1-mediated transport of Gly-Gly and Gly-Gly mimetics, and to investigate Gly-Sar transport via SLC36A1 and the proton-coupled dipeptide/tripeptide transporter, SLC15A1 in Caco-2 cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Transport of a compound via SLC36A1 was determined by its ability to induce an increase in the inward current of two-electrode voltage clamped SLC36A1 cRNA-injected Xenopus laevis oocytes. SLC36A1-mediated L-[³H]Pro uptake in Caco-2 cells was measured in the absence and presence of Gly-Gly or Gly-Sar. In addition, apical [¹?C]Gly-Sar uptake was measured in the absence and presence of the SLC36A1 inhibitor 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) or the SLC15A1 inhibitor L-4,4'-biphenylalanyl-L-proline (Bip-Pro). KEY RESULTS In SLC36A1-expressing oocytes, an inward current was induced by Gly-Sar, Gly-Gly, ?-aminolevulinic acid, ?-aminoethylglycine, ?-aminopentanoic acid, GABA, Gly and Pro, whereas Val, Leu, mannitol, 5-HTP and the dipeptides Gly-Ala, Gly-Pro and Gly-Phe did not evoke currents. In Caco-2 cell monolayers, the apical uptake of 30?mM Gly-Sar was inhibited by 20 and 22% in the presence of 5-HTP or Bip-Pro, respectively, and by 48% in the presence of both. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our results suggest that whereas Gly-Gly amid bond bioisosteres are widely accepted by the hPAT1 carrier, dipeptides in general are not; and therefore, Gly-Sar might structurally define the size limit of dipeptide transport via SLC36A1.

Effect of Fc core fucosylation and light chain isotype on IgG1 flexibility.

Project description:N-glycosylation plays a key role in modulating the bioactivity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), as well as the light chain (LC) isotype can influence their physicochemical properties. However, investigating the impact of such features on mAbs conformational behavior is a big challenge, due to the very high flexibility of these biomolecules. In this work we investigate, by accelerated molecular dynamics (aMD), the conformational behavior of two commercial immunoglobulins G1 (IgG1), representative of κ and λ LCs antibodies, in both their fucosylated and afucosylated forms. Our results show, through the identification of a stable conformation, how the combination of fucosylation and LC isotype modulates the hinge behavior, the Fc conformation and the position of the glycan chains, all factors potentially affecting the binding to the FcγRs. This work also represents a technological enhancement in the conformational exploration of mAbs, making aMD a suitable approach to clarify experimental results.

Highly efficient visible-light photocatalytic ethane oxidation into ethyl hydroperoxide as a radical reservoir.

Project description:Photocatalytic ethane conversion into value-added chemicals is a great challenge especially under visible light irradiation. The production of ethyl hydroperoxide (CH3CH2OOH), which is a promising radical reservoir for regulating the oxidative stress in cells, is even more challenging due to its facile decomposition. Here, we demonstrated a design of a highly efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalyst, Au/WO3, for ethane oxidation into CH3CH2OOH, achieving an impressive yield of 1887 μmol gcat -1 in two hours under visible light irradiation at room temperature for the first time. Furthermore, thermal energy was introduced into the photocatalytic system to increase the driving force for ethane oxidation, enhancing CH3CH2OOH production by six times to 11 233 μmol gcat -1 at 100 °C and achieving a significant apparent quantum efficiency of 17.9% at 450 nm. In addition, trapping active species and isotope-labeling reactants revealed the reaction pathway. These findings pave the way for scalable ethane conversion into CH3CH2OOH as a potential anticancer drug.

The Lacto-Tetrapeptide Gly-Thr-Trp-Tyr, ?-Lactolin, Improves Spatial Memory Functions via Dopamine Release and D1 Receptor Activation in the Hippocampus.

Project description:SCOPE:Peptides containing tryptophan-tyrosine sequences, including the lacto-tetrapeptide glycine-threonine-tryptophan-tyrosine (GTWY) and ?-lactolin, from ?-lactoglobulin in whey enzymatic digestion, enhance hippocampus-dependent memory functions, which are blocked by the systemic administration of dopamine D1-like antagonist. In this study, we investigated the role of the hippocampal dopaminergic system in the memory-enhancing effect of ?-lactolin. METHODS AND RESULTS:The results of in vivo microdialysis revealed that oral administration of ?-lactolin increased the extracellular concentration of dopamine in the hippocampus and enhanced both spatial working memory, as measured in the Y-maze test, and spatial reference memory, as measured in the novel object location test. These memory-enhancing effects of ?-lactolin, but not the baseline memory functions, were impaired by the knockdown of the dopamine D1 receptor subtype in the hippocampus. ?-Lactolin also enhanced object memory, as measured by the novel object recognition test. However, D1 knockdown in the hippocampus spared this memory function either with or without the administration of ?-lactolin. CONCLUSIONS:The present results indicate that oral administration of ?-lactolin increases dopamine release and D1 receptor signaling in the hippocampus, thereby enhancing spatial memory, but it may improve object memory via a separate mechanism.

Ohr Protects Corynebacterium glutamicum against Organic Hydroperoxide Induced Oxidative Stress.

Project description:Ohr, a bacterial protein encoded by the Organic Hydroperoxide Resistance (ohr) gene, plays a critical role in resistance to organic hydroperoxides. In the present study, we show that the Cys-based thiol-dependent Ohr of Corynebacterium glutamicum decomposes organic hydroperoxides more efficiently than hydrogen peroxide. Replacement of either of the two Cys residues of Ohr by a Ser residue resulted in drastic loss of activity. The electron donors supporting regeneration of the peroxidase activity of the oxidized Ohr of C. glutamicum were principally lipoylated proteins (LpdA and Lpd/SucB). A ?ohr mutant exhibited significantly decreased resistance to organic hydroperoxides and marked accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo; protein carbonylation was also enhanced notably. The resistance to hydrogen peroxide also decreased, but protein carbonylation did not rise to any great extent. Together, the results unequivocally show that Ohr is essential for mediation of organic hydroperoxide resistance by C. glutamicum.

Frequency conversion of structured light.

Project description:Coherent frequency conversion of structured light, i.e. the ability to manipulate the carrier frequency of a wave front without distorting its spatial phase and intensity profile, provides the opportunity for numerous novel applications in photonic technology and fundamental science. In particular, frequency conversion of spatial modes carrying orbital angular momentum can be exploited in sub-wavelength resolution nano-optics and coherent imaging at a wavelength different from that used to illuminate an object. Moreover, coherent frequency conversion will be crucial for interfacing information stored in the high-dimensional spatial structure of single and entangled photons with various constituents of quantum networks. In this work, we demonstrate frequency conversion of structured light from the near infrared (803 nm) to the visible (527 nm). The conversion scheme is based on sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal pumped with a 1540-nm Gaussian beam. We observe frequency-converted fields that exhibit a high degree of similarity with the input field and verify the coherence of the frequency-conversion process via mode projection measurements with a phase mask and a single-mode fiber. Our results demonstrate the suitability of exploiting the technique for applications in quantum information processing and coherent imaging.
