A novel assay for fungal ketol-isomerase activity.
2-Deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase (EC 2.6.1.16) forms glucosamine-6-phosphate and glutamate from fructose-6-phosphate and glutamine and plays an important role in chitin synthesis in fungi. We have established a new assay for fungal ketol-isomerase activity that is amenable to high throughput screening to identify enzyme inhibitors. Aspergillus fumigatus crude lysate was incubated w...
متن کاملSynthesis and anticancer activity assay of novel chalcone sulfonamide derivatives
Chalcones, or 1,3–diaryl–2–propen–1–ones, one of the major classes of natural products and posses many useful properties like anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti–inflammatory, antimalarial and anti–diabetic activity. We report in this communication the synthesis and anticancer study of a number of novel chalcone sulfonamides. Our results indicate that the synthesis of chalcone sulfonami...

متن کاملA novel fluorescent assay for T-synthase activity.
Loss of T-synthase (uridine diphosphate galactose:N-acetylgalactosaminyl-α1-Ser/Thr β3galactosyltransferase), a key enzyme required for the formation of mucin-type core 1 O-glycans, is observed in several human diseases, including cancer, Tn syndrome and IgA nephropathy, but current methods to assay the enzyme use radioactive substrates and complicated isolation of the product. Here we report t...
متن کاملPyridoxine biosynthesis in yeast: participation of ribose 5-phosphate ketol-isomerase.
To identify the genes involved in pyridoxine synthesis in yeast, auxotrophic mutants were prepared. After transformation with a yeast genomic library, a transformant (A22t1) was obtained from one of the auxotrophs, A22, which lost the pyridoxine auxotrophy. From an analysis of the plasmid harboured in A22t1, the RKI1 gene coding for ribose 5-phosphate ketol-isomerase and residing on chromosome ...
