By means of weak specificity for the recognition of substrates by GP, non-natural oligo- and polysaccharides has precisely been synthesized. GP-catalyzed enzymatic glycosylations using several analog substrates as glycosyl donors have been carried out to produce oligosaccharides having different monosaccharide residues at the non-reducing end. Glycogen, a highly branched natural polysaccharide, has been used as the polymeric glycosyl acceptor and primer for the GP-catalyzed glycosylation and polymerization to obtain glycogen-based non-natural polysaccharide materials. Under the conditions of removal of inorganic phosphate, thermostable GP-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization of analog monomers occurred to give amylose analog polysaccharides. Keywords: analog substrate; α-glucan phosphorylase; non-natural oligo- and polysaccharides 1. Introduction Oligo- and polysaccharides are widely distributed in nature and enact specific important biological functions in accordance with their chemical structures [1]. Owing to a variety of sugar unit structures and various types of linkages among them in accordance with regio- and stereoarrangements, so-called glycosidic linkages, oligo- and polysaccharides typically have very complicated structures [2]. Accordingly, it has been well accepted that a profound effect on their properties and functions is often produced by a subtle change in the type of glycosidic linkage and the unit structure. The precise synthesis of structurally well-defined oligo- and polysaccharides through stereo- and regio-controlled glycosidic linkages among desired sugar units has therefore attracted much attention in the development of new functional carbohydrate-related materials. However, common organic reactions do not easily provide well-defined oligo- and polysaccharides under perfect control conditions in regio- and stereoarrangements [3–5]. Compared to such common organic reactions, enzymatic reactions exhibit significant advantages in terms of stereo- and regioselectivities. Enzymatic reaction, furthermore, can be operated under mild conditions, eliminating undesired side reactions [6,7]. Of the six main classes of enzymes, transferase (glycosyl transferase, GT) and hydrolase (glycosyl hydrolase, GH) have been used successfully as catalysts in practical synthesis of well-defined saccharide chains via the formation of glycosidic linkages [8,9]. In the enzymatically formation of glycosidic linkages, so-called ‘enzymatic glycosylation’, two substrates, that is, a glycosyl donor and Catalysts 2018, 8, 473; doi:10.3390/catal8100473 www.mdpi.com/journal/catalysts Catalysts 2018, 8, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 11 Catalysts 2018, 8, 473 2 of 11 substrates, that is, a glycosyl donor and a glycosyl acceptor are used, generally, in their unprotected forms in aqueous media.

Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle’s microbiome plays a key role in the insect’s ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits. During a study of bacterial associates from I. typographus, we isolated three strains identified as Pseudomonas from different beetle life stages. In this work, we aimed to reveal the taxonomic status of these bacterial strains and to sequence and annotate their genomes to mine possible traits related to a role within the bark beetle holobiont.

  • The Origins of Protein Phosphorylation
    historical perspective The origins of protein phosphorylation Philip Cohen The reversible phosphorylation of proteins is central to the regulation of most aspects of cell func- tion but, even after the first protein kinase was identified, the general significance of this discovery was slow to be appreciated. Here I review the discovery of protein phosphorylation and give a per- sonal view of the key findings that have helped to shape the field as we know it today. he days when protein phosphorylation was an abstruse backwater, best talked Tabout between consenting adults in private, are over. My colleagues no longer cringe on hearing that “phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates phosphorylase” and their eyes no longer glaze over when a “”kinase kinase kinase” is mentioned. This is because protein phosphorylation has gradu- ally become an integral part of all the sys- tems they are studying themselves. Indeed it would be difficult to find anyone today who would disagree with the statement that “the reversible phosphorylation of proteins regu- lates nearly every aspect of cell life”. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, catalysed by protein kinases and protein phosphatases, can modify the function of a protein in almost every conceivable way; for Carl and Gerty Cori, the 1947 Nobel Laureates.

  • Histidine Kinases and the Missing Phosphoproteome from Prokaryotes to Eukaryotes Kevin Adam and Tony Hunter
    Laboratory Investigation (2018) 98, 233–247 © 2018 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/18 $32.00 PATHOBIOLOGY IN FOCUS Histidine kinases and the missing phosphoproteome from prokaryotes to eukaryotes Kevin Adam and Tony Hunter Protein phosphorylation is the most common type of post-translational modification in eukaryotes. The phosphoproteome is defined as the complete set of experimentally detectable phosphorylation sites present in a cell’s proteome under various conditions. However, we are still far from identifying all the phosphorylation sites in a cell mainly due to the lack of information about phosphorylation events involving residues other than Ser, Thr and Tyr. Four types of phosphate–protein linkage exist and these generate nine different phosphoresidues—pSer, pThr, pTyr, pHis, pLys, pArg, pAsp, pGlu and pCys. Most of the effort in studying protein phosphorylation has been focused on Ser, Thr and Tyr phosphorylation. The recent development of 1- and 3-pHis monoclonal antibodies promises to increase our understanding of His phosphorylation and the kinases and phosphatases involved. Several His kinases are well defined in prokaryotes, especially those involved in two-component system (TCS) signaling. However, in higher eukaryotes, NM23, a protein originally characterized as a nucleoside diphosphate kinase, is the only characterized protein–histidine kinase. This ubiquitous and conserved His kinase autophosphorylates its active site His, and transfers this phosphate either onto a nucleoside diphosphate or onto a protein His residue. Studies of NM23 protein targets using newly developed anti-pHis antibodies will surely help illuminate the elusive His phosphorylation-based signaling pathways. This review discusses the role that the NM23/NME/NDPK phosphotransferase has, how the addition of the pHis phosphoproteome will expand the phosphoproteome and make His phosphorylation part of the global phosphorylation world.
