Natural Occurrence and Industrial Applications of D-Amino Acids: an Overview
CHEMISTRY & BIODIVERSITY – Vol. 7 (2010) 1531 REVIEW Natural Occurrence and Industrial Applications of d-Amino Acids: An Overview by Sergio Martnez-Rodrguez*, Ana Isabel Martnez-Go´ mez, Felipe Rodrguez-Vico, Josefa Mara Clemente-Jime´nez, Francisco Javier Las Heras-Va´zquez* Dpto. Qumica Fsica, Bioqumica y Qumica Inorga´nica, Universidad de Almera, Edificio CITE I, Carretera de Sacramento s/n, 04120 La Can˜ ada de San Urbano, Almera, Spain (S. M.-R.: phone: þ34950015850; fax: þ34950015615; F. J. H.-V.: phone: þ34950015055; fax: þ34950015615) Interest in d-amino acids has increased in recent decades with the development of new analytical methods highlighting their presence in all kingdoms of life. Their involvement in physiological functions, and the presence of metabolic routes for their synthesis and degradation have been shown. Furthermore, d-amino acids are gaining considerable importance in the pharmaceutical industry. The immense amount of information scattered throughout the literature makes it difficult to achieve a general overview of their applications. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art on d-amino acid applications and occurrence, providing both established and neophyte researchers with a comprehensive introduction to this topic. Introduction. – Since Miller established in 1953 that amino acids were most probably present in the primitive Earths atmosphere [1], one of the largest mysteries in science has been why evolution chose the l-isomer of a-amino acids for the emergence of life. While, from the chemical-physical point of view, enantiomeric enhancement in the prebiotic scenario of l-amino acids is plausible [2][3], the most broadly accepted theory is that primitive life acquired polymers by an as yet unknown mechanism. -

Bacterial Citrate Lyase
J. Biosci., Vol. 6, Number 4, October 1984, pp. 379–401. © Printed in India. Bacterial citrate lyase SUBHALAKSHMI SUBRAMANIAN and C. SIVARAMAN* Biochemistry Division, National Chemical Laboratory, Poona 411 008, India MS received 30 July 1984 Abstract. Bacterial citrate lyase, the key enzyme in fermentation of citrate, has interesting structural features. The enzyme is a complex assembled from three non-identical subunits, two having distinct enzymatic activities and one functioning as an acyl-carrier protein. Bacterial citrate lyase, si-citrate synthase and ATP-citrate lyase have similar stereospecificities and show cofactor cross-reactions. On account of these common features, the citrate enzymes are promising markers in the study of evolutionary biology. The occurrence, function, regulation and structure of bacterial citrate lyase are reviewed in this article. Keywords. Bacterial citrate lyase; anaerobic citrate utilization; citrate lyase autoinactivation; subunit structure and function; subunit stoichiometry; active sites; citrate lyase prosthetic group. Citrate enzymes Citrate occupies a central position in intermediary metabolism and the enzymes involved in its formation or breakdown have special importance. Four different groups of enzymes are known which catalyze the synthesis (or dissimilation) of citrate through an aldol- (or retroaldol-) type reaction involving an equilibrium between citrate on the one hand and oxaloacetate and an acetyl-moiety on the other. These are: – (i) Bacterial citrate lyase [citrate oxaloacetate-lyase (pro-3S-CH 2COO → acetate); EC 4.1.3.6] found as yet only in procaryotes, which catalyzes the cleavage of citrate into oxaloacetate and acetate in the presence of divalent metal ions such as Mg2 + or Mn2 +. Citrate oxaloacetate + acetate (ii) ATP-citrate lyase [ATP: . -
