Oxidation of p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine by pig kidney diamine oxidase. A new method for spectrophotometric assay.

ABSTRACT: 1. The oxidation of some para-substituted benzylamines by diamine oxidase produces the corresponding aldehydes. This was studied to develop a spectrophotometric method for following the enzyme reaction, as the aldehydes produced absorb strongly at 250nm where the substrates are almost optically transparent. 2. p-Dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine was the most useful substrate and full details of its preparation are given. The synthesis of its related oxidation product, p-dimethylaminomethylbenzaldehyde, is also described. 3. The effects of variations in pH, ionic strength, temperature and oxygenation on the reaction are described and the usefulness of the method is illustrated by several applications and assessed by comparison with the standard spectrophotometric assay.

Synthesis and oxidation of aminoalkyl-onium compounds by pig kidney diamine oxidase.

Project description:1. The preparation of a series of compounds derived from diamines by replacing one amino group by a dimethylsulphonium, isothiuronium, trimethylammonium, NN'-dimethylimidazolium or N-methylpyridinium species is described. 2. The behaviour of these compounds as substrates of pig kidney diamine oxidase is reported. All but the trimethylammonium compounds proved to be substrates. 3. Many of these compounds showed potent inhibition at high substrate concentration and this was studied. 4. On the basis of these and other observations a scheme for enzyme-substrate interaction is suggested.

Inhibition of pig kidney diamine oxidase by substrate analogues.

Project description:1. The oxidation of p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the change in E(250) caused by the p-dimethylaminomethylbenzaldehyde produced. 2. This reaction was inhibited by substrate analogues such as isothiouronium, guanidino, dimethylsulphonium and trimethylammonium compounds. 3. The inhibition by both mono- and bis-onium compounds has been studied and a comprehensive theory is developed to explain both the type and degree of inhibition produced.

A reinvestigation of the substrate specificity of pig kidney diamine oxidase.

Project description:1. The substrate specificity of pig kidney diamine oxidase was reinvestigated with a purer enzyme preparation than has previously been used for this purpose. 2. All substrates were extensively purified before use, and methods of preparation or sources are given, together with R(F) values. 3. The substrate specificity determined differed somewhat from that reported by previous workers and, in addition, the behaviour of several compounds not previously used as substrates is described. 4. A model for enzyme-substrate interaction embodying these observations is formulated. It is suggested that a negatively charged substrate-binding group is situated at 6.0-9.0 A from the oxidizing site. The binding and oxidizing sites are separated by a hydrophobic or methylene-binding site.

The glycoprotein nature of pig kidney diamine oxidase. Role of disulphide groups and arginine residues in the concanavalin A-diamine oxidase interaction.

Project description:Pig kidney diamine oxidase (DAO) was found to contain 5% (w/w) natural hexose, 3.25% glucosamine, 2.61% N-acetylglucosamine and 0.25% N-acetylneuraminic acid. The enzyme exhibited strong affinity towards concanavalin A (Con A) with a stoichiometry of 1:4.6. The kinetics of interaction approached an apparent first-order rate, with a rate constant (Kapp.) value of 1.5 x 10(-2) min-1. The enzyme reduced with dithiothreitol followed by alkylation with iodoacetamide showed an increase in the stoichiometry of the Con A-DAO interaction. Similarly arginine modification by phenylglyoxal caused decreased affinity, with an altered Kapp. value of 9.09 x 10(-3) min-1. The results suggest that, besides the carbohydrate content, the protein moiety of the enzyme also plays a significant role in the Con A-DAO interaction.

A new crystal form of human diamine oxidase.

Project description:Copper amine oxidases (CAOs) are ubiquitous in nature and catalyse the oxidative deamination of primary amines to the corresponding aldehydes. Humans have three viable CAO genes (AOC1-3). AOC1 encodes human diamine oxidase (hDAO), which is the frontline enzyme for histamine metabolism. hDAO is unique among CAOs in that it has a distinct substrate preference for diamines. The structure of hDAO in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit has recently been reported. Here, the structure of hDAO refined to 2.1 A resolution in space group C222(1) with one molecule in the asymmetric unit is reported.

A sensitive spectrophotometric assay for peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase.

Project description:A simple spectrophotometric assay was developed for peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase activity. The assay, based on the H2O2-dependent oxidation of leuco-dichlorofluorescein catalysed by exogenous peroxidase, is more sensitive than methods previously described. By using mouse liver samples, cofactor requirements were assessed and a linear relationship was demonstrated between dye oxidation and enzyme concentration. By using this assay on subcellular fractions, palmitoyl-CoA oxidase activity was localized for the first time in microperoxisomes of rat intestine. The assay was also adapted to measure D-amino acid oxidase activity, demonstrating the versatility of this method for measuring activity of other H2O2-producing oxidases.

Oxidation of polymines by diamine oxidase from human seminal plasma.

Project description:1. Diamine oxidase [amine-oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)(pyridoxal-containing), EC 1.4.3.6] was purified from human seminal plasma more than 1,700-fold. The enzyme appeared to be homogeneous on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis at two different pH values. 2. The general properties of the enzyme were comparable with those described for other diamine oxidases from different mammalian sources. The molecular weight of the enzyme was calculated to be about 182,000. 3. The enzyme had highest affinity for diamines, but polyamines spermidine and spermine were also degraded at concentrations that can be considered physiological in human semen. 3. The possible degradation of spermine by diamine oxidase in human semen in vivo may give rise to the formation of cytotoxic aldehydes that conceivably can influence the motility and survival of the spermatozoa.

Improved spectrophotometric assay for lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase.

Project description:BackgroundThe availability of a sensitive and robust activity assay is a prerequisite for efficient enzyme production, purification, and characterization. Here we report on a spectrophotometric assay for lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), which is an advancement of the previously published 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP)-based LPMO assay. The new assay is based on hydrocoerulignone as substrate and hydrogen peroxide as cosubstrate and aims toward a higher sensitivity at acidic pH and a more reliable detection of LPMO in complex matrices like culture media.ResultsAn LPMO activity assay following the colorimetric oxidation of hydrocoerulignone to coerulignone was developed. This peroxidase activity of LPMO in the presence of hydrogen peroxide can be detected in various buffers between pH 4-8. By reducing the substrate and cosubstrate concentration, the assay has been optimized for minimal autoxidation and enzyme deactivation while maintaining sensitivity. Finally, the optimized and validated LPMO assay was used to follow the recombinant expression of an LPMO in Pichia pastoris and to screen for interfering substances in fermentation media suppressing the assayed reaction.ConclusionsThe biphenol hydrocoerulignone is a better substrate for LPMO than the monophenol 2,6-DMP, because of a ~ 30 times lower apparent K M value and a 160 mV lower oxidation potential. This greatly increases the measured LPMO activity when using hydrocoerulignone instead of 2,6-DMP under otherwise similar assay conditions. The improved activity allows the adaptation of the LPMO assay toward a higher sensitivity, different buffers and pH values, more stable assay conditions or to overcome low concentrations of inhibiting substances. The developed assay protocol and optimization guidelines increase the adaptability and applicability of the hydrocoerulignone assay for the production, purification, and characterization of LPMOs.

Spectrophotometric Quantification of Peroxidase with p-Phenylene-diamine for Analyzing Peroxidase-Encapsulating Lipid Vesicles.

Project description:A spectrophotometric assay for the determination of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in aqueous solution with p-phenylenediamine (PPD, benzene-1,4-diamine) as electron donor substrate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant was developed. The oxidation of PPD by HRP/H2O2 leads to the formation of Bandrowski's base ((3E,6E)-3,6-bis[(4-aminophenyl)imino]cyclohexa-1,4-diene-1,4-diamine), which can be quantified by following the increase in absorbance at 500 nm. The assay was applied for monitoring the activity of HRP inside ?180 nm-sized lipid vesicles (liposomes), prepared from POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and purified by size exclusion chromatography. Because of the high POPC bilayer permeability of PPD and H2O2, the HRP-catalyzed oxidation of PPD occurs inside the vesicles once PPD and H2O2 are added to the vesicle suspension. In contrast, if instead of PPD the bilayer-impermeable substrate ABTS2- (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)) is used, the oxidation of ABTS2- inside the vesicles does not occur. Therefore, using PPD and ABTS2- in separate assays allows distinguishing between vesicle-trapped HRP and HRP in the external bulk solution. In this way, the storage stability of HRP-containing POPC vesicles was investigated in terms of HRP leakage and activity of entrapped HRP. It was found that pH 7.0 suspensions of POPC vesicles (2.2 mM POPC) containing on average about 12 HRP molecules per vesicle are stable for at least 1 month without any significant HRP leakage, if stored at 4 °C. Such high stability is beneficial not only for bioanalytical applications but also for exploring the kinetic properties of vesicle-entrapped HRP through simple spectrophotometric absorption measurements with PPD as a sensitive and cheap substrate.

Structure and inhibition of human diamine oxidase.

Project description:Humans have three functioning genes that encode copper-containing amine oxidases. The product of the AOC1 gene is a so-called diamine oxidase (hDAO), named for its substrate preference for diamines, particularly histamine. hDAO has been cloned and expressed in insect cells and the structure of the native enzyme determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 1.8 A. The homodimeric structure has the archetypal amine oxidase fold. Two active sites, one in each subunit, are characterized by the presence of a copper ion and a topaquinone residue formed by the post-translational modification of a tyrosine. Although hDAO shares 37.9% sequence identity with another human copper amine oxidase, semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase or vascular adhesion protein-1, its substrate binding pocket and entry channel are distinctly different in accord with the different substrate specificities. The structures of two inhibitor complexes of hDAO, berenil and pentamidine, have been refined to resolutions of 2.1 and 2.2 A, respectively. They bind noncovalently in the active-site channel. The inhibitor binding suggests that an aspartic acid residue, conserved in all diamine oxidases but absent from other amine oxidases, is responsible for the diamine specificity by interacting with the second amino group of preferred diamine substrates.
