Chemical modification of Penicillium 1,2-alpha-D-mannosidase by water-soluble carbodi-imide: identification of a catalytically important aspartic acid residue.

ABSTRACT: 1,2-alpha-D-Mannosidase from Penicillium citrinum was inactivated by chemical modification with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propyl)carbodi-imide (EDC). Most of the activity was lost after modification in the absence of a nucleophile, glycine ethyl ester. 1-Deoxymannojirimycin (dMM), a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, showed partial protection against the inactivation. After the modification by EDC without the presence of a nucleophile, proteolytic digests of the enzyme were analysed by reversed-phase h.p.l.c. and a unique peptide was shown to decrease when dMM was present during the modification. The peptide was absent from the digests of unmodified enzyme. The amino acid sequence of the peptide (A; Ile-Gly-Pro) was identical in part with that of the adjacent peptide (B; Ile-Gly-Pro-Asp-Ser-Trp-Gly-Trp-Asp-Pro-Lys). When cholecystokinin tetrapeptide (Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2) was modified by EDC alone, the modified peptide could be separated from unmodified peptide by reversed-phase h.p.i.c., and Edman degradation was stopped before the modified aspartic acid residue. This suggested that, in the enzyme, peptide A was derived from peptide B by the modification. Consequently, Asp-4 in peptide B was assumed to be masked by dMM during the modification, and to be involved in the interaction of the enzyme with its substrate.

1,2-alpha-D-mannosidase from Penicillium citrinum: molecular and enzymic properties of two isoenzymes.

Project description:Two isoforms of acidic 1,2-alpha-D-mannosidases have been isolated from culture filtrate of Penicillium citrinum. The pI values of the two forms, designated 1,2-alpha-mannosidase Ia and Ib, were 4.6 and 4.7 respectively. Isoenzymes Ia and Ib exhibited the same molecular mass which was determined to be 53 kDa by SDS/PAGE and 54 kDa by gel-permeation chromatography. Enzymes Ia and Ib hydrolysed yeast mannan and 1,2-alpha-linked mannooligosaccharides, but did not hydrolyse p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannoside. The optimal pH for the hydrolysis of Man(alpha 1-->2)Man was 5.0 for both isoenzymes. Similar kinetic parameters were determined for the two forms. Activation energy was a little lower for Ia than Ib. There was little difference between the enzymes with regard to their performance at acidic or alkaline pH. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the two enzymes were identical. Analysis of C-terminal peptides, which were prepared by tryptic digestion and anhydrotrypsin-agarose chromatography, showed that Ia and Ib had the same amino acid sequences in the C-terminal region. Tryptic digestion revealed a slight difference between the isoenzymes in the pattern of cleaved peptides on SDS/PAGE.

Identification of catalytically important residues of the carotenoid 1,2-hydratases from Rubrivivax gelatinosus and Thiocapsa roseopersicina.

Project description:Carotenoid 1,2-hydratases (CrtC) catalyze the selective addition of water to an isolated carbon-carbon double bond. Although their involvement in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway is well understood, little is known about the mechanism by which these hydratases transform carotenoids such as lycopene into the corresponding hydroxyl compounds. Key residues were identified at positions His239, Trp241, Tyr266, and Asp268 in CrtC from Rubrivivax gelatinosus (and corresponding positions in Thiocapsa roseopersicina). Alanine mutants at these positions were found to be completely inactive, suggesting their direct involvement in the catalytic reaction. Our resulting mechanistic hypothesis is in analogy with the recently studied class of terpenoid cyclase enzymes containing a highly acidic aspartic residue in their active site. We propose that a similar aspartic acid residue, which is conserved through all putative CrtCs, is involved in initial protonation of the double bond in lycopene.

Some electron-transfer reactions involving carbodi-imide-modified cytochrome c.

Project description:The reaction kinetics of native and carbodi-imide-modified tuna and horse heart cytochromes c with both a strong (dithionite) and a relatively weak (ascorbate) reducing agent were studied over a wide range of conditions. In their reactions with dithionite both the native and modified cytochromes exhibit single exponential time courses. The effects of dithionite concentration and ionic strength on the rate of the reduction are complex and can best be explained in terms of the model proposed by Lambeth & Palmer [(1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 6095-6103]. According to this model, at low ionic strength the native proteins are reduced almost exclusively by S2O4(2-) whereas the modified proteins showed reactivity towards both S2O4(2-) and SO2.-. These findings are interpreted in terms of the different charge characteristics of the carbodi-imide-modified proteins relative to the native proteins. The findings that the modified proteins react with ascorbate in a biphasic manner are explained as arising from ascorbate binding to a reducible form of the protein, before electron transfer, with an equilibrium between the ascorbate-reducible form of the protein and a non-reducible form. Estimates were obtained for both the ascorbate equilibrium binding constant and the rate constant for the internal electron transfer for both the native and modified horse and tuna proteins. The effect of pH on the reactions indicates that the active reductant in all cases is ascorbate2-. The studies of ascorbate reactivity yield important information concerning the proposed correlation between ascorbate reducibility and the presence of a 695 nm-absorption band, and the study of dithionite reactivity illustrates the effect of protein charge and solution ionic strength on the relative contributions made by the species SO2.- and S2O4(2-) to the reduction of ferricytochrome c.

Some reactions of carbon monoxide and oxygen with carbodi-imide-modified cytochrome c.

Project description:The reactivity of carbodi-imide-modified tuna and horse heart cytochromes c with the ferrous ion ligands CO and O2 has been studied. Both modified cytochromes bind one molecule of CO. Stopped-flow and flash-photolysis experiments indicate the presence of three kinetic processes in the reaction of the cytochromes with CO. The second-order rate constants associated with all three kinetic process are pH-independent being 2.8 x 10(5) M-1.s-1, 3.8 x 10(4) M-1.s-1 and 4 x 10(3) M-1.s-1 under all conditions studied. The concentration-dependence of the contributions made by each of the processes to the overall absorbance change indicates that the fast and slow kinetic phases are associated with two forms of the cytochromes which are in equilibrium, whereas the intermediate phase arises from a separate cytochrome species. The quantum yield for the photodissociation of CO from the ferrous cytochromes is unusually low. Both modified cytochromes are capable of binding and reducing O2. In the presence of excess reductant, the modified cytochromes can catalytically reduce large molar excesses of O2. In the absence of excess reducing agent, the oxy complex initially formed undergoes a pH-dependent intramolecular electron-transfer process with half-life approx. 10 min. EDC [1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodi-imide]-promoted internal cross-linking is proposed to account for differences between the EDC-modified proteins and carboxymethylated cytochrome c.

Chemical modification of the haem propionate of cytochrome c. A re-evaluation of the reaction of cytochrome c with a water-soluble carbodi-imide.

Project description:Horse heart and tuna heart cytochromes c were treated with the water-soluble carbodi-imide 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodi-imide. When the reaction is followed spectroscopically two kinetic phases are apparent. Alteration of the reactivity of the proteins with such ligands as CO, however, occurs in a single phase identical with the faster phase detected spectroscopically. The modified proteins both show spectroscopic and redox properties identical with those described for the tuna heart cytochrome c derivative by Timkovich [Biochem. J. (1980) 185, 47-57]. The use of radiolabelled carbodi-imide identifies two or three sites of reactivity. However, the addition of glycine methyl ester to the reaction mixture leads to the addition of nine glycine moieties in the case of the horse protein and seven in the case of the tuna protein, indicating a larger number of reactive sites than previously reported. A further set of reaction sites was identified by peptide mapping of the modified proteins, and these sites take part in intramolecular reactions leading to internal cross-linking and the formation of an enzymically indigestible 'core particle'. The haem group was identified as a site of reaction with the carbodi-imide, and is as a consequence covalently linked to the peptide by a bond in addition to the thioether bonds normally present. In the light of these findings, the alterations in the properties of the tuna protein, subsequent to reaction with the carbodi-imide, which have been previously explained in structural terms, must be re-evaluated. This study also highlights the importance of internal cross-link formation, which can occur by intramolecular nucleophilic attack, a process that has often been overlooked by investigators employing carbodi-imide modification of carboxylate groups in proteins.

Mutations in the alpha 1,2-mannosidase gene, MAN1B1, cause autosomal-recessive intellectual disability.

Project description:We have used genome-wide genotyping to identify an overlapping homozygosity-by-descent locus on chromosome 9q34.3 (MRT15) in four consanguineous families affected by nonsyndromic autosomal-recessive intellectual disability (NS-ARID) and one in which the patients show additional clinical features. Four of the families are from Pakistan, and one is from Iran. Using a combination of next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we have identified mutations in the gene MAN1B1, encoding a mannosyl oligosaccharide, alpha 1,2-mannosidase. In one Pakistani family, MR43, a homozygous nonsense mutation (RefSeq number NM_016219.3: c.1418G>A [p.Trp473*]), segregated with intellectual disability and additional dysmorphic features. We also identified the missense mutation c. 1189G>A (p.Glu397Lys; RefSeq number NM_016219.3), which segregates with NS-ARID in three families who come from the same village and probably have shared inheritance. In the Iranian family, the missense mutation c.1000C>T (p.Arg334Cys; RefSeq number NM_016219.3) also segregates with NS-ARID. Both missense mutations are at amino acid residues that are conserved across the animal kingdom, and they either reduce k(cat) by ?1300-fold or disrupt stable protein expression in mammalian cells. MAN1B1 is one of the few NS-ARID genes with an elevated mutation frequency in patients with NS-ARID from different populations.

Structure of human endo-α-1,2-mannosidase (MANEA), an antiviral host-glycosylation target.

Project description:Mammalian protein N-linked glycosylation is critical for glycoprotein folding, quality control, trafficking, recognition, and function. N-linked glycans are synthesized from Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 precursors that are trimmed and modified in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus by glycoside hydrolases and glycosyltransferases. Endo-α-1,2-mannosidase (MANEA) is the sole endo-acting glycoside hydrolase involved in N-glycan trimming and is located within the Golgi, where it allows ER-escaped glycoproteins to bypass the classical N-glycosylation trimming pathway involving ER glucosidases I and II. There is considerable interest in the use of small molecules that disrupt N-linked glycosylation as therapeutic agents for diseases such as cancer and viral infection. Here we report the structure of the catalytic domain of human MANEA and complexes with substrate-derived inhibitors, which provide insight into dynamic loop movements that occur on substrate binding. We reveal structural features of the human enzyme that explain its substrate preference and the mechanistic basis for catalysis. These structures have inspired the development of new inhibitors that disrupt host protein N-glycan processing of viral glycans and reduce the infectivity of bovine viral diarrhea and dengue viruses in cellular models. These results may contribute to efforts aimed at developing broad-spectrum antiviral agents and help provide a more in-depth understanding of the biology of mammalian glycosylation.

Soluble Poly(amide-imide)s from Diamide-Diamine Monomer with Trifluoromethyl Groups.

Project description:A series of soluble aromatic poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) was prepared from a new diamide-diamine monomer having biphenyl units with two CF3 groups. The diamide-diamine monomer was polymerized with 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine and pyromelltic dianhydride through an imidization reaction to prepare PAIs with a controlled imide/amide bond ratio in the main chains. While the PAIs with the highest imide bond content showed a limited solubility, other PAIs were soluble in polar organic solvents and can be solution-cast into flexible freestanding films. All PAIs exhibited high thermal stability with 5% weight loss temperature (Td5) from 464 to 497 °C in air, and no appearance of glass transition up to 400 °C. Notably, the linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value of the PAI films was linearly decreased with the imide bond content and varied from 44.8 to 7.8 ppm/°C.

Reduced expression of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I extends lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans.

Project description:Exposure to sub-lethal levels of stress, or hormesis, was a means to induce longevity. By screening for mutations that enhance resistance to multiple stresses, we identified multiple alleles of alpha-1,2-mannosidase I (mas1) which, in addition to promoting stress resistance, also extended longevity. Longevity enhancement is also observed when mas1 expression is reduced via RNA interference in both Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. The screen also identified Edem1 (Edm1), a gene downstream of mas1, as a modulator of lifespan. As double mutants for both mas1 and Edm1 showed no additional longevity enhancement, it appeared that both mutations function within a common pathway to extend lifespan. Molecular analysis of these mutants revealed that the expression of BiP, a putative biomarker of dietary restriction (DR), is down-regulated in response to reductions in mas1 expression. These findings suggested that mutations in mas1 may extend longevity by modulating DR.
