While the phosphate functional group is very common in small molecule natural products, nucleic acids, and as chemical modification in protein and peptides, phosphorous can form P–N (phosphoramidate), P–S (phosphorothioate), and P–C (e.g., phosphonate and phosphinate) linkages.

Information on biological source, biological activity, and biosynthesis is included, if known. This review also summarizes the role of phosphorylation on unusual amino acids in proteins (N- and S-phosphorylation) and reviews the natural phosphorothioate (P–S) and phosphoramidate (P–N) modifications of DNA and nucleotides with an emphasis on their role in the metabolism of the cell. We challenge the commonly held notion that nonphosphate organophosphorus functional groups are an oddity of biochemistry, with no central role in the metabolism of the cell.

    Laboratory Investigation (2017), 1–13 © 2017 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/17 $32.00 PATHOBIOLOGY IN FOCUS Corrected Advances in development of new tools for the study of phosphohistidine Mehul V Makwana1,2, Richmond Muimo2 and Richard FW Jackson1 Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification that is an integral part of cellular function. The O-phosphorylated amino-acid residues, such as phosphoserine (pSer), phosphothreonine (pThr) and phosphotyrosine (pTyr), have dominated the literature while the acid labile N-linked phosphorylated amino acids, such as phosphohistidine (pHis), have largely been historically overlooked because of the acidic conditions routinely used in amino-acid detection and analysis. This review highlights some misinterpretations that have arisen in the existing literature, pinpoints outstanding questions and potential future directions to clarify the role of pHis in mammalian signalling systems. Particular emphasis is placed on pHis isomerization and the hybrid functionality for both pHis and pTyr of the proposed τ-pHis analogue bearing the triazole residue. Laboratory Investigation advance online publication, 4 December 2017; doi:10.1038/labinvest.2017.126 Protein phosphorylation is one of the most commonly chemical properties: first, unlike other phosphorylated studied post-translational modifications. In general, the residues there are two isomers of pHis; τ- and π-pHis, both phosphorylation of any amino-acid residue results in a of which are found in nature (Figure 1).3,4 The τ- and π-pHis change in charge and thus in the protein surface potential. are chemically different from each other in both structure, For example, as phosphoryl groups exist mostly as a dianion reactivity and stability under certain conditions (vide infra).

  • Comparative Genomics and Metabolomics Analysis Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative genomics and metabolomics analysis of Riemerella anatipestifer strain CH‑1 and CH‑2 Jibin Liu1,2,3,4, Anchun Cheng1,2,3,4*, Mingshu Wang1,2,3*, Mafeng Liu1,2,3, Dekang Zhu2,3, Qiao Yang1,2,3, Ying Wu1,2,3, Renyong Jia1,2,3, Shun Chen1,2,3, Xinxin Zhao1,2,3, Shaqiu Zhang1,2,3, Juan Huang1,2,3, Xumin Ou1,2,3, Sai Mao1,2,3, Qun Gao1,2,3, Xingjian Wen1,2,3, Ling Zhang1,2,3, Yunya Liu1,2,3, Yanling Yu1,2,3, Bin Tian1,3, Leichang Pan1,3, Mujeeb Ur Rehman1,3 & Xiaoyue Chen2,3 Riemerella anatipestifer is a major pathogenic microorganism in poultry causing serositis with signifcant mortality. Serotype 1 and 2 were most pathogenic, prevalent, and liable over the world. In this study, the intracellular metabolites in R. anatipestifer strains RA‑CH‑1 (serotype 1) and RA‑CH‑2 (serotype 2) were identifed by gas chromatography‑mass spectrometer (GC–MS). The metabolic profles were performed using hierarchical clustering and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS‑DA). The results of hierarchical cluster analysis showed that the amounts of the detected metabolites were more abundant in RA‑CH‑2. RA‑CH‑1 and RA‑CH‑2 were separated by the PLS‑DA model. 24 potential biomarkers participated in nine metabolisms were contributed predominantly to the separation. Based on the complete genome sequence database and metabolite data, the frst large‑scale metabolic models of iJL463 (RA‑CH‑1) and iDZ470 (RA‑CH‑2) were reconstructed. In addition, we explained the change of purine metabolism combined with the transcriptome and metabolomics data.

  • Bovine Liver Phosphoamidase As a Protein Histidine/Lysine Phosphatase
    J. Biochem. 126, 368-374 (1999) Bovine Liver Phosphoamidase as a Protein Histidine/Lysine Phosphatase Hiroyuki Hiraishi, Fumiaki Yokoi, and Akira Kumon1 Department of Biochemistry, Saga Medical School, Nabeshima 5-1-1, Saga, Saga 849-8501 Received March 8, 1999; accepted June 1, 1999 A 13-kDa phosphoamidase was isolated as a single band on SDS-PAGE from bovine liver. Its Stokes' radius, sedimentation coefficient, molecular mass, and optimal pH were estimated to be 1.6nm, 1.8s, 13kDa, and 6.5, respectively. The enzyme released P, from 3-phosphohistidine, 6-phospholysine, and amidophosphate at rates of 0.9, 0.6, and 2.6 ƒÊ mol/min/mg protein, respectively. However, it did not dephosphorylate phosphocrea tine, NƒÖ-phosphoarginine, imidodiphosphate, or O-phosphorylated compounds including inorganic pyrophosphate. It also dephosphorylated succinic thiokinase and nucleoside diphosphate kinase autophosphorylated at His residues, indicating that it works as a protein histidine phosphatase. A thiol reagent, 30ƒÊM N-ethylmaleimide, depressed the activity by half, while a thiol compound, 2-mercaptoethanol, protected the enzyme from heat-inactivation. Five millimolar divalent cations, such as Mg2+ and Mn2+, and 5mM EDTA, had no effect on the activity. Key words: characterization, nucleoside diphosphate kinase, protein histidine/lysine phosphatase, purification, succinic thiokinase. Phosphoamidases are enzymes that hydrolyze the nitrogen- phoamidase that is specific only for P-Arg and is free of the phosphorus bond (N-P bond) of given N-phosphorylated activity that hydrolyzes O-phosphorylated compounds and compounds. The phosphoamidase classified as [EC 3.9.1.1] N-phosphorylated compounds including P-His, P-Lys, NP, dephosphorylates phosphocreatine and NƒÖ-phosphoargi and phosphocreatine (7, 8).

  • Phosphorus Compounds of Natural Origin: Prebiotic, Stereochemistry, Application
    S S symmetry Review Phosphorus Compounds of Natural Origin: Prebiotic, Stereochemistry, Application Oleg I. Kolodiazhnyi V.P. Kukhar’ Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry, NAS of Ukraine, Murmanska st., 1, 02094 Kyiv, Ukraine; [email protected] Abstract: Organophosphorus compounds play a vital role as nucleic acids, nucleotide coenzymes, metabolic intermediates and are involved in many biochemical processes. They are part of DNA, RNA, ATP and a number of important biological elements of living organisms. Synthetic compounds of this class have found practical application as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, bioregulators, and othrs. In recent years, a large number of phosphorus compounds containing P-O, P-N, P-C bonds have been isolated from natural sources. Many of them have shown interesting biological properties and have become the objects of intensive scientific research. Most of these compounds contain asymmetric centers, the absolute configurations of which have a significant effect on the biological properties of the products of their transformations. This area of research on natural phosphorus compounds is still little-studied, that prompted us to analyze and discuss it in our review. Moreover natural organophosphorus compounds represent interesting models for the development of new biologically active compounds, and a number of promising drugs and agrochemicals have already been obtained on their basis. The review also discusses the history of the development of ideas about the role of organophosphorus compounds and stereochemistry in the origin of life on Earth, starting from the prebiotic period, that allows us in a new way to consider this most important problem of fundamental science.
