Metals in Biotechnology: Cr-Driven Stereoselective Reduction of Conjugated C=C Double Bonds.

ABSTRACT: Elemental metals are shown to be suitable sacrificial electron donors to drive the stereoselective reduction of conjugated C=C double bonds using Old Yellow Enzymes as catalysts. Both direct electron transfer from the metal to the enzyme as well as mediated electron transfer is feasible, although the latter excels by higher reaction rates. The general applicability of this new chemoenzymatic reduction method is demonstrated, and current limitations are outlined.

Pyrite-Based Cr(VI) Reduction Driven by Chemoautotrophic Acidophilic Bacteria.

Project description:Cr(VI) is considered as a priority pollutant, and its remediation has attracted increasing attention in the environmental area. In this study, the driving of pyrite-based Cr(VI) reduction by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was systematically investigated. The results showed that pyrite-based Cr(VI) reduction was a highly proton-dependent process and that pH influenced the biological activity. The passivation effect became more significant with an increase in pH, and there was a decrease in Cr(VI) reduction efficiency. However, Cr(VI) reduction efficiency was enhanced by inoculation with A. ferrooxidans. The highest reduction efficiency was achieved in the biological system with a pH range of 1-1.5. Pyrite dissolution and reactive site regeneration were promoted by A. ferrooxidans, which resulted in the enhanced effect in Cr(VI) reduction. The low linear relevancy between pH and Cr(VI) dosage in the biological system indicated a complex interaction between bacteria and pyrite. Secondary iron mineral formation in an unfavorable pH environment inhibited pyrite dissolution, but the passivation effect was relieved under the activity of A. ferrooxidans due to S/Fe oxidization. The balance between Cr(VI) reduction and biological activity was critical for sustainable Cr(VI) reduction. Pyrite-based Cr(VI) remediation driven by chemoautotrophic acidophilic bacteria is shown to be an economical and efficient method of Cr(VI) reduction.

Molecular dynamic simulation study of cholesterol and conjugated double bonds in lipid bilayers.

Project description:Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are found naturally in dairy products. Two isomers of CLA, that differ only in the location of cis and trans double bonds, are found to have distinct and different biological effects. The cis 9 trans 11 (C9T11) isomer is believed to have anti-carcinogenic effects, while the trans 10 cis 12 (T10C12) isomer is believed to be associated with anti-obesity effects. In this paper we extend earlier molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of pure CLA-phosphatidylcholine bilayers to investigate the comparative effects of cholesterol on bilayers composed of the two respective isomers. Simulations of phosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers in which the sn-2 chains contained one of the two isomers of CLA were performed in which, for each isomer, the simulated bilayers contained 10% and 30% cholesterol (Chol). From MD trajectories we calculate and compare structural properties of the bilayers, including areas per molecule, thickness of bilayers, tilt angle of cholesterols, order parameter profiles, and one and two-dimensional radial distribution function (RDF), as functions of Chol concentration. While the structural effect of cholesterol is approximately the same for both isomers, we find differences at an atomistic level in order parameter profiles and in two-dimensional radial distribution functions.

Stereoselective synthesis of conjugated fluoro enynes.

Project description:Metalation-electrophilic fluorination of TMS- and TIPS-protected 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl (BT) propargyl sulfones gave corresponding BT fluoropropargyl sulfones, Julia-Kocienski reagents for the synthesis of fluoro enynes. Both reagents reacted with aldehydes under mild DBU- or LHMDS-mediated conditions, giving high yields of conjugated fluoro enynes with E-stereoselectivity. In comparison to DBU-mediated reactions, stereoselectivity was higher in low-temperature LHMDS-mediated reactions. Two ketones were shown to react as well, using LHMDS as base. In situ removal of the TMS group gave terminal conjugated 2-fluoro 1,3-enynes. Synthetic utility of the fluoro enynes was demonstrated by conversion to internal alkynes and to stereoisomeric fluoro dienes via Sonogashira and Heck couplings.

Theoretical in-Solution Conformational/Tautomeric Analyses for Chain Systems with Conjugated Double Bonds Involving Nitrogen(s).

Project description:Conformational/tautomeric transformations for X=CH-CH=Y structures (X = CH2, O, NH and Y = NH) have been studied in the gas phase, in dichloromethane and in aqueous solutions. The paper is a continuation of a former study where s-cis/s-trans conformational equilibria were predicted for analogues. The s-trans conformation is preferred for the present molecules in the gas phase on the basis of its lowest internal free energy as calculated at the B97D/aug-cc-pvqz and CCSD(T)CBS (coupled-cluster singles and doubles with non-iterative triples extrapolated to the complete basis set) levels. Transition state barriers are of 29-36 kJ/mol for rotations about the central C-C bonds. In solution, an s-trans form is still favored on the basis of its considerably lower internal free energy compared with the s-cis forms as calculated by IEF-PCM (integral-equation formalism of the polarizable continuum dielectric solvent model) at the theoretical levels indicated. A tetrahydrate model in the supermolecule/continuum approach helped explore the 2solute-solvent hydrogen bond pattern. The calculated transition state barrier for rotation about the C-C bond decreased to 27 kJ/mol for the tetrahydrate. Considering explicit solvent models, relative solvation free energies were calculated by means of the free energy perturbation method through Monte Carlo simulations. These calculated values differ remarkably from those by the PCM approach in aqueous solution, nonetheless the same prevalent conformation was predicted by the two methods. Aqueous solution structure-characteristics were determined by Monte Carlo. Equilibration of conformers/tautomers through water-assisted double proton-relay is discussed. This mechanism is not viable, however, in non-protic solvents where the calculated potential of mean force curve does not predict remarkable solute dimerization and subsequent favorable orientation.

Beta-oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids with conjugated double bonds. Mitochondrial metabolism of octa-2,4,6-trienoic acid.

Project description:The mitochondrial beta-oxidation of octa-2,4,6-trienoic acid was studied with the aim of elucidating the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids with conjugated double bonds. Octa-2,4,6-trienoic acid was found to be a respiratory substrate of coupled rat liver mitochondria, but not of rat heart mitochondria. Octa-2,4,6-trienoyl-CoA, the product of the inner-mitochondrial activation of the acid, was chemically synthesized and its degradation by purified enzymes of beta-oxidation was studied spectrophotometrically and by use of h.p.l.c. This compound is a substrate of NADPH-dependent 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase or 4-enoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.34), which facilitates its further beta-oxidation. The product obtained after the NADPH-dependent reduction of octa-2,4,6-trienoyl-CoA and one round of beta-oxidation was hex-4-enoyl-CoA, which can be completely degraded via beta-oxidation. It is concluded that polyunsaturated fatty acids with two conjugated double bonds extending from even-numbered carbon atoms can be completely degraded via beta-oxidation because their presumed 2,4,6-trienoyl-CoA intermediates are substrates of 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase.

Chiral Dibenzopentalene-Based Conjugated Nanohoops through Stereoselective Synthesis.

Project description:Conjugated nanohoops allow to investigate the effect of radial conjugation and bending on the involved π-systems. They can possess unexpected optoelectronic properties and their radially oriented π-system makes them attractive for host-guest chemistry. Bending the π-subsystems can lead to chiral hoops. Herein, we report the stereoselective synthesis of two enantiomers of chiral conjugated nanohoops by incorporating dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes (DBPs), which are generated in the last synthetic step from enantiomerically pure diketone precursors. Owing to its bent shape, this diketone unit was used as the only bent precursor and novel "corner unit" in the synthesis of the hoops. The [6]DBP[4]Ph-hoops contain six antiaromatic DBP units and four bridging phenylene groups. The small HOMO-LUMO gap and ambipolar electrochemical character of the DBP units is reflected in the optoelectronic properties of the hoop. Electronic circular dichroism spectra and MD simulations showed that the chiral hoop did not racemize even when heated to 110 °C. Due to its large diameter, it was able to accommodate two C60 molecules, as binding studies indicate.

The biological conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol into cholesterol and comments on the reduction of double bonds.

Project description:It is shown that the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase-catalysed conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol into cholesterol (II), with a 105000g microsomal pellet of rat liver in the presence of [4-(3)H(2)]NADPH, results in the transfer of radioactivity to the 7alpha-position of cholesterol. When the conversion is carried out in the presence of tritiated water the label is introduced exclusively at the 8beta-position. However, when the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol into cholesterol is performed with a 500g supernatant of rat liver homogenate the radioactivity is incorporated at both the 7alpha- and the 8beta-position. Evidence is provided for the presence of an enzyme system in the 500g supernatant that catalyses an equilibration of hydrogen atoms between those at the 4-position of NADPH and those of water. The work with stereospecifically labelled cofactors shows that both the equilibrating system and the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase utilize the 4B-hydrogen atom of NADPH. In the light of these results a mechanism for the reduction of carbon-carbon double bonds is discussed.

Biosynthetic origin of conjugated double bonds: production of fatty acid components of high-value drying oils in transgenic soybean embryos.

Project description:Vegetable oils that contain fatty acids with conjugated double bonds, such as tung oil, are valuable drying agents in paints, varnishes, and inks. Although several reaction mechanisms have been proposed, little is known of the biosynthetic origin of conjugated double bonds in plant fatty acids. An expressed sequence tag (EST) approach was undertaken to characterize the enzymatic basis for the formation of the conjugated double bonds of alpha-eleostearic (18:3Delta(9cis, 11trans,13trans)) and alpha-parinaric (18:4Delta(9cis,11trans, 13trans,15cis)) acids. Approximately 3,000 ESTs were generated from cDNA libraries prepared from developing seeds of Momordica charantia and Impatiens balsamina, tissues that accumulate large amounts of alpha-eleostearic and alpha-parinaric acids, respectively. From ESTs of both species, a class of cDNAs encoding a diverged form of the Delta(12)-oleic acid desaturase was identified. Expression of full-length cDNAs for the Momordica (MomoFadX) and Impatiens (ImpFadX) enzymes in somatic soybean embryos resulted in the accumulation of alpha-eleostearic and alpha-parinaric acids, neither of which is present in untransformed soybean embryos. alpha-Eleostearic and alpha-parinaric acids together accounted for as much as 17% (wt/wt) of the total fatty acids of embryos expressing MomoFadX. These results demonstrate the ability to produce fatty acid components of high-value drying oils in transgenic plants. These findings also demonstrate a previously uncharacterized activity for Delta(12)-oleic acid desaturase-type enzymes that we have termed "conjugase."

The Reduction-insensitive Bonds of the MUC2 Mucin Are Isopeptide Bonds.

Project description:The main structural component of the mucus in the gastrointestinal tract is the MUC2 mucin. It forms large networks that in colon build the loose outer mucous layer that provides the habitat for the commensal flora and the inner mucous layer that protects the epithelial cells by being impenetrable to bacteria. The epithelial cells in mice lacking MUC2 are not adequately protected from bacteria, resulting in inflammation and the development of colon cancer as found in human ulcerative colitis. Correct processing of the MUC2 mucin is the basis for the building of these protective networks. During the biosynthesis of the MUC2 mucin, post-translational modifications are formed resulting in reduction-insensitive bonds between MUC2 monomers. By the use of ?-glutamyltranspeptidase and isopeptidase activity in leech saliva, we could show that the molecular nature of these reduction-insensitive bonds is isopeptide bonds formed between side chains of lysine and glutamine. Transglutaminase 2 has an affinity to the MUC2 CysD2 domain in the nanomolar range and can catalyze its cross-linking. By using mass spectrometry, we identified MUC2 residues involved in this cross-linking. This shows for the first time that transamidation is not only stabilizing the skin and the fibrin clot, but is also important for the correct intracellular processing of MUC2 to generate protective mucus.

Dataset on statistical reduction of highly water-soluble Cr (VI) into Cr (III) using RSM.

Project description:With the excellent solubility, mobility, bioaccumulation and carcinogenesis, hexavalent chromium Cr (VI), widely exists in various industrial effluents such as chrome plating, metal finishing, pigments, and tanning. Cr (VI) is one of the toxic metal pollutants among all the heavy metals. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to convert highly water-soluble Cr (VI) into Cr (III) species using electrocoagulation (EC) process. The Box-Behnken design (BBD) as was applied to investigate the effects of major operating variables and optimization conditions. The predicted values of responses obtained using the model is agreed well with the experimental data. This work demonstrated that the Cr (VI) is entirely converted into Cr (III) in solid-phases in electrocoagulation process. It was also found that reduction increased with current density that suggesting that the reduction efficiency is closely related to the generation of floc.
