Flexible Enantioselectivity of Tryptophanase Attributable to Benzene Ring in Heterocyclic Moiety of D-Tryptophan
The invariance principle of enzyme enantioselectivity must be absolute because it is absolutely essential to the homochiral biological world. Most enzymes are strictly enantioselective, and tryptophanase is one of the enzymes with extreme absolute enantioselectivity for L-tryptophan. Contrary to conventional knowledge about the principle, tryptophanase becomes flexible to catalyze D-tryptophan ...
متن کاملConserved tryptophan in cytochrome c: importance of the unique side-chain features of the indole moiety.
The absolute conservation of tryptophan at position 59 in cytochrome c is related to the unique chemical nature of its indole moiety. The indole side chain of Trp-59 possesses three salient features: bulk, hydrophobicity and the ability of its indole nitrogen to act as a hydrogen-bond donor. Crystallographic evidence identifies the indole nitrogen of Trp-59 as having a stabilizing hydrogen-bond...
متن کاملStability of p53 Homologs
Most proteins have not evolved for maximal thermal stability. Some are only marginally stable, as for example, the DNA-binding domains of p53 and its homologs, whose kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities are strongly correlated. Here, we applied high-throughput methods using a real-time PCR thermocycler to study the stability of several full-length orthologs and paralogs of the p53 family of tr...
متن کاملSynthesis of new 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives containing 4-thiazolidinone moiety containing 4-thiazolidinone moiety
A series of novel 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives containing 4-thiazolidinone framework (4a-f) were synthesized through a four-step reaction starting from the reduction of nitro derivatives of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes. The resulting aminoxanthenes converted to thiourea derivatives via their reaction with methyl isothiocyanate. The final products were synthesized through the re...
متن کاملCytokine homologs of human gammaherpesviruses.
Gammaherpesviruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, human herpesvirus 4) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV, human herpesvirus 8) establish lifelong infection in the host. To further this lifestyle, they encode homologs of cellular cytokines and cytokine receptors with the overarching goal to escape from or to blunt host antiviral defenses. EBV encodes mimics of human interleukin (...
