Abstract: Humulus lupulus L. is an essential source of aroma compounds, hop bitter acids, and xanthohumol derivatives mainly exploited as flavourings in beer brewing and with demonstrated potential for the treatment of certain diseases. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthesis of these compounds, the primary enzymes involved in the three major pathways of hops’ phytochemical composition are herein critically summarized. Hops’ phytochemical components impart bitterness, aroma, and antioxidant activity to beers. The biosynthesis pathways have been extensively studied and enzymes play essential roles in the processes. Here, we introduced the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of hop bitter acids, monoterpenes and xanthohumol deriva- tives, including the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT), branched-chain keto-acid dehydroge- nase (BCKDH), carboxyl CoA ligase (CCL), valerophenone synthase (VPS), prenyltransferase (PT), 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR), Geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS), monoterpene synthase enzymes (MTS), cinnamate Citation: Hong, K.; Wang, L.; 4-hydroxylase (C4H), chalcone synthase (CHS_H1), chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins (CHIL), Johnpaul, A.; Lv, C.; Ma, C.

  • Relationship to Atherosclerosis
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Marilyn L. Walsh for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry and Biophysics presented on May 3..2001. Title: Protocols. Pathways. Peptides and Redacted for Privacy Wilbert Gamble The vascular system transports components essential to the survival of the individual and acts as a bamer to substances that may injure the organism. Atherosclerosis is a dynamic, lesion producing disease of the arterial system that compromises the functioning of the organ by occlusive and thrombogenic processes. This investigation was undertaken to elucidate some of the normal biochemical processes related to the development of atherosclerosis. A significant part of the investigation was directed toward developing and combining methods and protocols to obtain the data in a concerted manner. A postmitochondnal supernatant of bovine aorta, usingmevalonate-2-14C as the substrate, was employed in the investigation. Methods included paper, thin layer, and silica gel chromatography; gel filtration, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry. This current research demonstrated direct incorporation of mevalonate-2- 14Cinto the trans-methyiglutaconic shunt intermediates. The aorta also contains alcohol dehydrogenase activity, which converts dimethylallyl alcohol and isopentenol to dimethylacrylic acid, a constituent of the trans-methylgiutaconate Small, radioactive peptides, named Nketewa as a group, were biosynthesized using mevalonate-2-'4C as the substrate. They were shown to pass through a 1000 D membrane. Acid hydrolysis and dabsyl-HPLC analysis defined the composition of the Nketewa peptides. One such peptide, Nketewa 1, had a molecular weight of 1038 and a sequence of his-gly-val-cys-phe-ala-ser-met (HGVCFASM), with afarnesyl group linked via thioether linkage to the cysteine residue.

Statins also possess other therapeutic effects, called pleiotropic, because the blockade of the conversion of HMG-CoA to (R)-mevalonate produces a concomitant inhibition of the biosynthesis of numerous isoprenoid metabolites (e.g., geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) or farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP)). Thus, the prenylation of several cell signalling proteins (small GTPase family members: Ras, Rac, and Rho) is hampered, so that these molecular switches, controlling multiple pathways and cell functions (maintenance of cell shape, motility, factor secretion, differentiation, and proliferation) are regulated, leading to beneficial effects in cardiovascular health, regulation of the immune system, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, prevention and treatment of sepsis, treatment of autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, kidney and neurological disorders, or even in cancer therapy. Thus, there is a growing interest in developing more sustainable protocols for preparation of statins, and the introduction of biocatalyzed steps into the synthetic pathways is highly advantageous—synthetic routes are conducted under mild reaction conditions, at ambient temperature, and can use water as a reaction medium in many cases.

Phosphatidic acid is an immediate precursor of CDP-diacylglycerol, which is a precursor of the various glycerophospholipids . CTP combines with phosphatidic acid to yield a pyrophosphate and CDP-Diacylglycerol. Activation by CDP yields a high energy activated intermediate that can be readily converted to phosphatidyl glycerophospholipids. 2. From CDP-diacylglycerol, phosphatidyl serine can be made, as canphosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl choline. Synthesis of phosphatidyl choline from phosphatidyl ethanolamine requires methyl groups donated by S-Adenoysyl-Methionine (SAM). Loss of the methyl groups by SAM yields S-Adenosyl-Homocysteine (I incorrectly said S-adenosyl-homoserine in the lecture). 3. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine (and phosphatidyl choline - derived from phosphatidyl ethanolamine) can both be made independently of phosphatidic acid biosynthesis. For this pathway, CDP-ethanolamine is the activated intermediate and the phosphoethanolamine of it is added to diacylglycerol to form phosphatidylethanolamine. Phosphatidyl choline can be made by the same methylation scheme in point 4. 4. Sphingolipids are synthesized beginning with palmitoyl-CoA and serine. Addition of a fatty acid to the amine group yields a ceramide. Addition of sugars to a ceramide yields either a cerebroside (single sugar added) or a ganglioside (complex sugar added). 5. Deficiencies in enzymes that degrade sphingolipids (particularly cerebrosides and gangliosides) are linked to neural disorders. One such disorder is Tay-Sachs disease. 6. Cholesterol is an important component of membranes, particularly in the brain. Cholesterol can be synthesized totally from acetyl-CoA. 7. Steroids include all compounds synthesized from cholesterol.
