An unusually large multifunctional polypeptide in the erythromycin-producing polyketide synthase of Saccharopolyspora erythraea 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30
Erythromycin A, a clinically important polyketide antibiotic, is produced by the Gram-positive bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea. In an arrangement that seems to be generally true of antibiotic biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces and related bacteria like S. erythraea, the ery genes encoding the biosynthetic pathway to erythromycin are clustered around the gene (ermE) that confers self-resistance on S. erythraea. The aglycone core of erythromycin A is derived from one propionyl-CoA and six methylmalonyl-CoA units, which are incorporated head-to-tail into the growing polyketide chain, in a process similar to that of fatty-acid biosynthesis, to generate a macrolide intermediate, 6-deoxyerythronolide B. 6-Deoxyerythronolide B is converted into erythromycin A through the action of specific hydroxylases, glycosyltransferases and a methyltransferase. We report here the analysis of about 10 kilobases of DNA from S. erythraea, cloned by chromosome 'walking' outwards from the erythromycin-resistance determinant ermE, and previously shown to be essential for erythromycin biosynthesis. Partial sequencing of this region indicates that it encodes the synthase. Our results confirm this, and reveal a novel organization of the erythromycin-producing polyketide synthase, which provides further insight into the mechanism of chain assembly. 相似文献

Open channel structure of MscL and the gating mechanism of mechanosensitive channels 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Mechanosensitive channels act as membrane-embedded mechano-electrical switches, opening a large water-filled pore in response to lipid bilayer deformations. This process is critical to the response of living organisms to direct physical stimulation, such as in touch, hearing and osmoregulation. Here, we have determined the structural rearrangements that underlie these events in the large prokaryotic mechanosensitive channel (MscL) using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and site-directed spin labelling. MscL was trapped in both the open and in an intermediate closed state by modulating bilayer morphology. Transition to the intermediate state is characterized by small movements in the first transmembrane helix (TM1). Subsequent transitions to the open state are accompanied by massive rearrangements in both TM1 and TM2, as shown by large increases in probe dynamics, solvent accessibility and the elimination of all intersubunit spin-spin interactions. The open state is highly dynamic, supporting a water-filled pore of at least 25 A, lined mostly by TM1. These structures suggest a plausible molecular mechanism of gating in mechanosensitive channels. 相似文献

Five natural cularines isolated from the aerial parts ofSarcocapnos crassifolia (Fumariaceae) and a cularioid isolated from the bark ofGuatteria ouregou (Annonaceae) were tested for their ability to displace3H-SCH 23 390 and3H-raclopride from their striatal binding sites. Celtisine, breoganine and cularidine were able to inhibit the binding at D-1 and D-2 dopaminergic sites at nanomolar concentrations. Other alkaloids were active at micromolar concentrations. These data suggest that the presence of an oxepine system in the isoquinoline skeleton could lead to compounds which would be very active and possibly selective at dopaminergic receptor sites. 相似文献

CeO2: an active and selective catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with CO2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It was assumed that the homogeneous dehydrogenation of CiHg occurred in the gas phase was independent of the presence of catalysts and this is applicable to the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with CO2 over CeO2 . On the basis of this assumption, a method was developed to analyze the contribution of C2rtj formation from heterogeneous catalysis. In this study, ceria was found to be active and selective for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with CO2 and the selectivity to C, H4 was above 60 % and the actual contribution for C, H4 formation from heterogeneous catalysis was about 55%— 75% in the range of 953—993 K. 相似文献
