Phosphorus-Containing Pesticide Breakdown Products: Quantitative Utilization as Phosphorus Sources by Bacteria ALASDAIR M. COOK, CHRISTIAN G. DAUGHTON, AND MARTIN ALEXANDER* Laboratory ofSoil Microbiology, Department ofAgronomy, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853 Received for publication 1 September 1978 Bacteria were isolated that could utilize representatives of the following ionic phosphorus-containing breakdown products of organophosphorus pesticides as sole phosphorus sources: dialkyl phosphates, dialkyl phosphorothioates, dialkyl phosphorodithioates, alkyl arylphosphonates, alkyl arylphosphonothioates, and alkyl alkylphosphonates. Utilization of each organophosphorus compound, which was complete for 7 of 12 compounds studied, was confirmed by determination of protein yield from the amount of phosphorus source consumed. This is the first report of the utilization of an ionic dialkyl thiophosphate or dithiophosphate by microorganisms.

    A “Tag-and-Modify” Approach to Site-Selective Protein Modification JUSTIN M. CHALKER, GONC-ALO J. L. BERNARDES, AND BENJAMIN G. DAVIS* Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, Chemistry Research Laboratory, 12 Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TA, United Kingdom RECEIVED ON FEBRUARY 27, 2011 CONSPECTUS ovalent modification can expand a protein's functional capacity. Fluorescent or radioactive labeling, for instance, allows C imaging of a protein in real time. Labeling with an affinity probe enables isolation of target proteins and other interacting molecules. At the other end of this functional spectrum, protein structures can be naturally altered by enzymatic action. ProteinÀprotein interactions, genetic regulation, and a range of cellular processes are under the purview of these post- translational modifications. The ability of protein chemists to install these covalent additions selectively has been critical for elucidating their roles in biology. Frequently the transformations must be applied in a site-specific manner, which demands the most selective chemistry. In this Account, we discuss the development and application of such chemistry in our laboratory. A centerpiece of our strategy is a “tag-and-modify” approach, which entails sequential installation of a uniquely reactive chemical group into the protein (the “tag”) and the selective or specific modification of this group. The chemical tag can be a natural or unnatural amino acid residue. Of the natural residues, cysteine is the most widely used as a tag. Early work in our program focused on selective disulfide formation in the synthesis of glycoproteins. For certain applications, the susceptibility of disulfides to reduction was a limitation and prompted the development of several methods for the synthesis of more stable thioether modifications.

    ARTICLE Received 17 Feb 2016 | Accepted 26 Jul 2016 | Published 2 Sep 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms12703 OPEN Chemoselective synthesis and analysis of naturally occurring phosphorylated cysteine peptides Jordi Bertran-Vicente1, Martin Penkert1,2, Olaia Nieto-Garcia1,2, Jean-Marc Jeckelmann3, Peter Schmieder1, Eberhard Krause1 & Christian P. R. Hackenberger1,2 In contrast to protein O-phosphorylation, studying the function of the less frequent N- and S-phosphorylation events have lagged behind because they have chemical features that prevent their manipulation through standard synthetic and analytical methods. Here we report on the development of a chemoselective synthetic method to phosphorylate Cys side-chains in unprotected peptides. This approach makes use of a reaction between nucleophilic phosphites and electrophilic disulfides accessible by standard methods. We achieve the stereochemically defined phosphorylation of a Cys residue and verify the modification using electron-transfer higher-energy dissociation (EThcD) mass spectrometry. To demonstrate the use of the approach in resolving biological questions, we identify an endogenous Cys phosphorylation site in IICBGlc, which is known to be involved in the carbohydrate uptake from the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS). This new chemical and analytical approach finally allows further investigating the functions and significance of Cys phosphorylation in a wide range of crucial cellular processes. 1 Leibniz-Institut fu¨r Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP), Robert-Ro¨ssle-Str. 10, D-13125 Berlin, Germany. 2 Humboldt-Universita¨t zu Berlin, Institut fu¨r Chemie, Brook-Taylor-Str. 2, D-12489 Berlin, Germany. 3 Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland.

Murtadha All rights reserved 2020 iii ABSTRACT ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF ORGANOPHOSPHATES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES Name: Murtadha, Batool J. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Jeremy Erb Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are widely used in the agricultural industry especially in the pesticide market. Phosphates play a huge role as biological compounds in the form of energy carrier compounds like ATP, and medicine as antivirals. OPs have become increasingly important as evidenced by the publication of new methods devoted to their uses and synthesis. These well-established studies lay the basis for industrial organic derivatives of phosphorus preparations. The current work explored methods of synthesizing chiral organophosphate triesters. We experimented with different processes roughly divided into either an electrophilic or nucleophilic strategy using chiral Lewis acids, organocatalysts (HyperBTM), activating agents, and chiral auxiliaries with the goal of control stereoselectivity. These methods were explored through the use of different starting materials like POCl3, triethyl phosphate, methyl phosphordichloradate, and PSCl3.

Page 1/17 Abstract Objective An aptamer specically binding to diethyl thiophosphate (DETP) was constructed and incorporated in an optical sensor and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to enable the specic measurement of DETP as a metabolite and a biomarker of exposure to organophosphates. Results DETP-bound aptamer was selected from the library using capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX). A colorimetric method revealed the aptamer had the highest anity to DETP with a mean Kd value (± SD) of 0.103 ± 0.014 µM. Changes in resistance using EIS showed selectivity of the aptamer for DETP higher than for dithiophosphate (DEDTP) and diethyl phosphate (DEP) which have similar structure and are metabolites of some of the same organophosphates.

Jones and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey [May, 2009] ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SEVEN THIOPHOSPHATE ANALOGS OF CYCLIC DIGUANOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE by JIANWEI ZHAO Dissertation Director: Professor Roger A. Jones Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) was first identified as an activator of bacterial cellulose synthase in 1987. Since then, it has been recognized as an important second messenger molecule in many bacterial processes, including cellulose synthesis, biofilm formation, and host-pathogen interactions. More recently, it found to stimulate innate immunity in mammals. The monothiophosphate analog was synthesized some years ago and was shown to be a highly potent activator/second messenger with a high stability to enzymatic degradation. In the work presented here, synthetic methods have been developed to synthesize mono-, di- and trithiophosphate c-di-GMP analogs. All seven diastereomers of these analogs have been separated and purified. Stereochemistry of the two diastereomers of ii the monothioate analog was assigned by enzymatic digestion of the linear dimer, as well as direct enzymatic degradation of the cyclic dimers. In addition, the same linear dimer was cyclized to produce a cyclic dimer of known configuration. The correlation between stereochemistry and 31P NMR chemical shifts of the two diastereomers of the monothioate was then used to assign configurations of the di- and trithiophosphate analogs.
