Synthesis of the C8'-epimeric thymine pyranosyl amino acid core of amipurimycin.

ABSTRACT: The C8'-epimeric pyranosyl amino acid core 2 of amipurimycin was synthesized from D-glucose derived alcohol 3 in 13 steps and 14% overall yield. Thus, the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of allyl alcohol 7 followed by trimethyl borate mediated regio-selective oxirane ring opening with azide, afforded azido diol 10. The acid-catalyzed 1,2-acetonide ring opening in 10 concomitantly led to the formation of the pyranose ring skeleton to give 2,7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane 12. Functional group manipulation in 12 gave 21 that on stereoselective ?-glycosylation afforded the pyranosyl thymine nucleoside 2 - a core of amipurimycin.

Kentucky assay: C8 acid (octanoic acid)

Project description:Mice have 1,100 odorant receptors. Nearly all are orphan receptors. The pattern of receptor responses to odorants is the input that allows the brain to detect and discriminate odors The Kentucky assay measures the function of each of the 1,100 odorant receptors and 14 TAARs in vivo.

Single-molecule detection of a guanine(C8) - thymine(N3) cross-link using ion channel recording.

Project description:The capability to identify and sequence DNA damage within the context of the genome is an important goal for medical diagnostics. However, currently available methods are not suitable for this purpose. Ion channel nanopore analysis shows promise as a potential single-molecule method to sequence genomic DNA in such a way that also allows detection of base or backbone modifications. Recent studies in human cell lines demonstrated the occurrence of a new DNA cross-link between guanine(C8) and thymine(N3) (5'-G*CT*-3'). The current work presents immobilization and translocation studies of the 5'-G*CT*-3' cross-link in a single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide using the α-hemolysin (α-HL) ion channel. A 3'-biotinylated DNA strand containing the 5'-G*CT*-3' cross-link was incubated with streptavidin that allowed immobilization of the DNA in the β-barrel of α-HL. In this experiment, the 5'-G*CT*-3' cross-link was placed near the sensitive constriction zone of α-HL, yielding a 2.5% deeper blockage to the ion current level when compared to the unmodified strand. Next, free translocation of a cross-link-containing strand was studied, and an inverse relationship of the time constant with respect to an increase in the applied voltage was found, indicating that the cross-link can easily fit into the β-barrel and traverse through the ion channel. However, a modulation in the ion current level was not observed. These studies suggest that higher resolution ion channels or mechanisms to slow the translocation process, or both, might ultimately provide a mechanism for single-molecule sequencing for G-T cross-links.

Amino acid synthesis deficiencies.

Project description:In recent years the number of disorders known to affect amino acid synthesis has grown rapidly. Nor is it just the number of disorders that has increased: the associated clinical phenotypes have also expanded spectacularly, primarily due to the advances of next generation sequencing diagnostics. In contrast to the "classical" inborn errors of metabolism in catabolic pathways, in which elevated levels of metabolites are easily detected in body fluids, synthesis defects present with low values of metabolites or, confusingly, even completely normal levels of amino acids. This makes the biochemical diagnosis of this relatively new group of metabolic diseases challenging. Defects in the synthesis pathways of serine metabolism, glutamine, proline and, recently, asparagine have all been reported. Although these amino acid synthesis defects are in unrelated metabolic pathways, they do share many clinical features. In children the central nervous system is primarily affected, giving rise to (congenital) microcephaly, early onset seizures and varying degrees of mental disability. The brain abnormalities are accompanied by skin disorders such as cutis laxa in defects of proline synthesis, collodion-like skin and ichthyosis in serine deficiency, and necrolytic erythema in glutamine deficiency. Hypomyelination with accompanying loss of brain volume and gyration defects can be observed on brain MRI in all synthesis disorders. In adults with defects in serine or proline synthesis, spastic paraplegia and several forms of polyneuropathy with or without intellectual disability appear to be the major symptoms in these late-presenting forms of amino acid disorders. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the disorders in amino acid synthesis.

Local complexity of amino acid interactions in a protein core.

Project description:Atomic resolution structures of proteins indicate that the core is typically well packed, suggesting a densely connected network of interactions between amino acid residues. The combinatorial complexity of energetic interactions in such a network could be enormous, a problem that limits our ability to relate structure and function. Here, we report a case study of the complexity of amino acid interactions in a localized region within the core of the GFP, a particularly stable and tightly packed molecule. Mutations at three sites within the chromophore-binding pocket display an overlapping pattern of conformational change and are thermodynamically coupled, seemingly consistent with the dense network model. However, crystallographic and energetic analyses of coupling between mutations paint a different picture; pairs of mutations couple through independent "hotspots" in the region of structural overlap. The data indicate that, even in highly stable proteins, the core contains sufficient plasticity in packing to uncouple high-order energetic interactions of residues, a property that is likely general in proteins.

Engineering enzymes for noncanonical amino acid synthesis.

Project description:The standard proteinogenic amino acids grant access to a myriad of chemistries that harmonize to create life. Outside of these twenty canonical protein building blocks are countless noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs), either found in nature or created by man. Interest in ncAAs has grown as research has unveiled their importance as precursors to natural products and pharmaceuticals, biological probes, and more. Despite their broad applications, synthesis of ncAAs remains a challenge, as poor stereoselectivity and low functional-group compatibility stymie effective preparative routes. The use of enzymes has emerged as a versatile approach to prepare ncAAs, and nature's enzymes can be engineered to synthesize ncAAs more efficiently and expand the amino acid alphabet. In this tutorial review, we briefly outline different enzyme engineering strategies and then discuss examples where engineering has generated new 'ncAA synthases' for efficient, environmentally benign production of a wide and growing collection of valuable ncAAs.

Synthesis and characterization of fluorescent amino acid dimethylaminoacridonylalanine.

Project description:Fluorescent amino acids are powerful biophysical tools as they can be used in structural or imaging studies of a given protein without significantly perturbing its native fold or function. Here, we have synthesized and characterized 7-(dimethylamino)acridon-2-ylalanine (Dad), a red-shifted derivative of the genetically-incorporable amino acid, acridon-2-ylalanine. Alkylation increases the quantum yield and fluorescence lifetime of Dad relative to a previously published amino acid, 7-aminoacridon-2-ylalanine (Aad). These properties of Dad make it a potentially valuable protein label, and we have performed initial testing of its ability to be genetically incorporated using an evolved aminoacyl tRNA synthetase.

Computational Analysis of a Prebiotic Amino Acid Synthesis with Reference to Extant Codon-Amino Acid Relationships.

Project description:Novel density functional theory calculations are presented regarding a mechanism for prebiotic amino acid synthesis from alpha-keto acids that was suggested to happen via catalysis by dinucleotide species. Our results were analysed with comparison to the original hypothesis (Copley et al., PNAS, 2005, 102, 4442-4447). It was shown that the keto acid-dinucleotide hypothesis for possible prebiotic amino acid synthesis was plausible based on an initial computational analysis, and details of the structures for the intermediates and transition states showed that there was wide scope for interactions between the keto acid and dinucleotide moieties that could affect the free energy profiles and lead to the required proto-metabolic selectivity.
