  • Peptide Chemistry up to Its Present State
    Appendix In this Appendix biographical sketches are compiled of many scientists who have made notable contributions to the development of peptide chemistry up to its present state. We have tried to consider names mainly connected with important events during the earlier periods of peptide history, but could not include all authors mentioned in the text of this book. This is particularly true for the more recent decades when the number of peptide chemists and biologists increased to such an extent that their enumeration would have gone beyond the scope of this Appendix. 250 Appendix Plate 8.

  • Identification of a Thioesterase Bottleneck in the Pikromycin Pathway Through Full-Module Processing of Unnatural Pentaketides
    Article pubs.acs.org/JACS Identification of a Thioesterase Bottleneck in the Pikromycin Pathway through Full-Module Processing of Unnatural Pentaketides † ‡ † § † ‡ ⊥ ∥ Douglas A. Hansen, , Aaron A. Koch, , and David H. Sherman*, , , , † ‡ § ⊥ Life Sciences Institute, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Cancer Biology Graduate Program, Department of Chemistry, and ∥ Department of Microbiology & Immunology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Polyketide biosynthetic pathways have been engineered to generate natural product analogs for over two decades. However, manipulation of modular type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) to make unnatural metabolites commonly results in attenuated yields or entirely inactive pathways, and the mechanistic basis for compromised production is rarely elucidated since rate-limiting or inactive domain(s) remain unidentified. Accordingly, we synthesized and assayed a series of modified pikromycin (Pik) pentaketides that mimic early pathway engineering to probe the substrate tolerance of the PikAIII-TE module in vitro. Truncated pentaketides were processed with varying efficiencies to corresponding macrolactones, while pentaketides with epimerized chiral centers were poorly processed by PikAIII-TE and failed to generate 12-membered ring products. Isolation and identification of extended but prematurely offloaded shunt products suggested that the Pik thioesterase (TE) domain has limited substrate flexibility and functions as a gatekeeper in the processing of

Sci.,2017,8,507 cascade† Robert A. Craig, II, Jennifer L. Roizen, Russell C. Smith, Amanda C. Jones, Scott C. Virgil and Brian M. Stoltz* An enantioselective and diastereoselective approach toward the synthesis of the polycyclic norditerpenoid ineleganolide is disclosed. A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation is employed to stereoselectively construct the requisite chiral tertiary ether and facilitate the synthesis of a 1,3-cis- cyclopentenediol building block. Careful substrate design enabled the convergent assembly of the ineleganolide [6,7,5,5]-tetracyclic scaffold by a diastereoselective cyclopropanation–Cope rearrangement cascade under unusually mild conditions.

  • Enzymes Are Manufactured and Used by Bacteria in Order to Digest Waste
    Website: www.fermentor.co.in Food Beverages Textile Leather Agriculture Bio Pharma Effluent Treatment Enzyme : INTRODUCTION Protecting ecology is our duty. We are thus protecting our future generation. Waste water treatment has assumed great significance in today’s context where protecting the environment is a prime concern. The main objective of waste water treatment is to treat the effluent before it is discharged so that the environment is not polluted. Waste water treatment in general refers to treatment of suspended and floatable material, treatment of biodegradable organics and the elimination of pathogenic organisms. The contaminants in waste water are removed by physical chemical and biological means. These organisms are effectively removed by an enzyme called ENVIRO NZYME. ROLE OF AN ENZYME? An enzyme is a chemical catalyst that breaks up long, complex waste molecules (Hydrolytic reaction) into smaller pieces, which can then be digested directly by the bacteria. Enzymes are manufactured and used by bacteria in order to digest waste. ENVIRO NZYME – G a dry free flowing powder is a concentrated source of hydrolytic enzymes and eight strains of natural bacteria that are genetically capable of producing concentrations of enzymes in waste treatment systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. ENVIRO NZYME –G is used for reducing the BOD, COD levels as well as reducing the sludge volumes odour and colour in the effluent and sewage treatment plants. APPLICATION: This product finds application in industries like Agro Breweries &

    SUMOylation at the centromere: The role of SUMOylation of DNA topoisomerase IIα C-terminal domain in the regulation of mitotic kinases in cell cycle progression. By Makoto Michael Yoshida Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Molecular Biosciences and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________________ Chairperson: Yoshiaki Azuma, Ph.D. ________________________________________ Roberto De Guzman, Ph.D. ________________________________________ Kristi Neufeld, Ph.D. _________________________________________ Berl Oakley, Ph.D. _________________________________________ Blake Peterson, Ph.D. Date Defended: July 12, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Makoto Michael Yoshida certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: SUMOylation at the centromere: The role of SUMOylation of DNA topoisomerase IIα C-terminal domain in the regulation of mitotic kinases in cell cycle progression. ________________________________________ Chairperson: Yoshiaki Azuma, Ph.D. Date approved: July 12, 2016 ii ABSTRACT In many model systems, SUMOylation is required for proper mitosis; in particular, chromosome segregation during anaphase. It was previously shown that interruption of SUMOylation through the addition of the dominant negative E2 SUMO conjugating enzyme Ubc9 in mitosis causes abnormal chromosome segregation in Xenopus laevis egg extract (XEE) cell-free assays, and DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) was identified as a substrate for SUMOylation at the mitotic centromeres. TOP2A is SUMOylated at K660 and multiple sites in the C-terminal domain (CTD). We sought to understand the role of TOP2A SUMOylation at the mitotic centromeres by identifying specific binding proteins for SUMOylated TOP2A CTD. Through affinity isolation, we have identified Haspin, a histone H3 threonine 3 (H3T3) kinase, as a SUMOylated TOP2A CTD binding protein.
