Not determined nm Nanometer OD Optical density Introduction 1 1. Introduction 1.1. Enantioselectivity Molecules which lack an internal plane of symmetry are called chiral molecules; they cannot be superimposed with their mirror images. Asymmetric centers (e.g. a carbon atom with four different substituents) are the most common causes for chirality in a molecule (see Figure 1-1), but there is also axial chirality (e.g. allenes), planar chirality (e.g. (E) -cyclooctene), and inherent chirality (e.g. calixarenes, fullerenes). The two isomers of a chiral molecule rotate the plane of polarized light by the same amount (they are said to be optically active), but in opposite direction; they are called enantiomers. In achiral environments, their chemical behaviour is identical; however, they react differently in the presence of other chiral compounds, such as enzymes. The Cahn Ingold Prelog rule is widely used for the designation of enantiomers. It assigns the four substituents of the chiral center a priority based on the atomic number. When the lowest priority substituent is rotated behind the chiral center, and the priority of the remaining substituents decreases in clockwise direction, the enantiomer is labelled R, if it decreases in counterclockwise direction, the enantiomer is labelled S [1, 2]. A A C C D B B D Figure 1-1: Example for a chiral center (A-D are different substituents) As many pharmaceutically active compounds are chiral and will thus act differently in the chiral environment of a living cell, it is very important to supply optically pure compounds. A prominent example for the different biological activities of enantiomers is Thalidomide. Between 1957 and 1961 it was sold under the name Contergan ® as anti-depressant and to alleviate the morning sickness of pregnant women. The intake of Thalidomide during a pregnancy leads to children born with deformities, therefore the drug was forbidden (it is now in use as drug against leprosy, but no longer administered to pregnant women). It is thought that the ( R)-enantiomer is responsible

  • Comparison of the Effects on Mrna and Mirna Stability Arian Aryani and Bernd Denecke*
    Aryani and Denecke BMC Research Notes (2015) 8:164 DOI 10.1186/s13104-015-1114-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access In vitro application of ribonucleases: comparison of the effects on mRNA and miRNA stability Arian Aryani and Bernd Denecke* Abstract Background: MicroRNA has become important in a wide range of research interests. Due to the increasing number of known microRNAs, these molecules are likely to be increasingly seen as a new class of biomarkers. This is driven by the fact that microRNAs are relatively stable when circulating in the plasma. Despite extensive analysis of mechanisms involved in microRNA processing, relatively little is known about the in vitro decay of microRNAs under defined conditions or about the relative stabilities of mRNAs and microRNAs. Methods: In this in vitro study, equal amounts of total RNA of identical RNA pools were treated with different ribonucleases under defined conditions. Degradation of total RNA was assessed using microfluidic analysis mainly based on ribosomal RNA. To evaluate the influence of the specific RNases on the different classes of RNA (ribosomal RNA, mRNA, miRNA) ribosomal RNA as well as a pattern of specific mRNAs and miRNAs was quantified using RT-qPCR assays. By comparison to the untreated control sample the ribonuclease-specific degradation grade depending on the RNA class was determined. Results: In the present in vitro study we have investigated the stabilities of mRNA and microRNA with respect to the influence of ribonucleases used in laboratory practice. Total RNA was treated with specific ribonucleases and the decay of different kinds of RNA was analysed by RT-qPCR and miniaturized gel electrophoresis.

The efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of agricultural residues into value-added products such as sugars and hydroxycinnamic acids is a challenge because of the recalcitrant properties of the native biomass. Development of synergistic enzyme cocktails is required to overcome biomass residue recalcitrance, and achieve high yields of potential value-added products. In this study, the synergistic action of two termite metagenome-derived feruloyl esterases (FAE5 and FAE6), and an endo-xylanase (Xyn11) from Thermomyces lanuginosus, was optimized using 0.5% (w/v) insoluble wheat arabinoxylan (a model substrate) and then applied to 1% (w/v) corn cobs for the efficient production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and hydroxycinnamic acids. The enzyme combination of 66% Xyn11 and 33% FAE5 or FAE6 (protein loading) produced the highest amounts of XOS, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid from untreated, hydrothermal, and acid pre-treated corn cobs.

  • Bran Serine Hydrolases Achintya Kumar Dolui1,2, Arun Kumar Vijayakumar2,3, Ram Rajasekharan1,2,4 & Panneerselvam Vijayaraj1,2*
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Activity‑based protein profling of rice (Oryza sativa L.) bran serine hydrolases Achintya Kumar Dolui1,2, Arun Kumar Vijayakumar2,3, Ram Rajasekharan1,2,4 & Panneerselvam Vijayaraj1,2* Rice bran is an underutilized agricultural by‑product with economic importance. The unique phytochemicals and fatty acid compositions of bran have been targeted for nutraceutical development. The endogenous lipases and hydrolases are responsible for the rapid deterioration of rice bran. Hence, we attempted to provide the frst comprehensive profling of active serine hydrolases (SHs) present in rice bran proteome by activity‑based protein profling (ABPP) strategy. The active site‑directed fuorophosphonate probe (rhodamine and biotin‑conjugated) was used for the detection and identifcation of active SHs. ABPP revealed 55 uncharacterized active‑SHs and are representing fve diferent known enzyme families. Based on motif and domain analyses, one of the uncharacterized and miss annotated SHs (Os12Ssp, storage protein) was selected for biochemical characterization by overexpressing in yeast. The purifed recombinant protein authenticated the serine protease activity in time and protein‑dependent studies. Os12Ssp exhibited the maximum activity at a pH between 7.0 and 8.0. The protease activity was inhibited by the covalent serine protease inhibitor, which suggests that the ABPP approach is indeed reliable than the sequence‑based annotations. Collectively, the comprehensive knowledge generated from this study would be useful in expanding the current understanding of rice bran SHs and paves the way for better utilization/ stabilization of rice bran. Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the major staple foods for almost half the world’s population, especially in Asia 1.
