Pentalenene formation mechanisms redux.

چکیده
Quantum chemical calculations are used to assess various means of lowering the barrier for the dyotropic rearrangement previously proposed to occur during the carbocation rearrangement process promoted by pentalenene synthase. Several means of lowering this barrier, including a stepwise pathway for dyotropic rearrangement, are uncovered.

Effect of isotopically sensitive branching on product distribution for pentalenene synthase: support for a mechanism predicted by quantum chemistry.
Mechanistic proposals for the carbocation cascade reaction leading to the tricyclic sesquiterpene pentalenene are assessed in light of the results of isotopically sensitive branching experiments with the H309A mutant of pentalenene synthase. These experimental results support a mechanism for pentalenene formation involving a 7-protoilludyl cation whose intermediacy was first predicted using qua...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of pentalenene synthase (PSS) from Streptomyces UC5319 in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous.
For the first time, the pentalenene synthase (PSS) gene from Streptomyces UC5319 was expressed in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, a native producer of astaxanthin. For the expression of the gene and the concurrent knock out of the native crtE or crtYB genes, two new vectors were engineered and used for the transformation of the wild-type strain of X. dendrorhous. The transformations resulted in ...
متن کاملRetrograde Transport Redux
Trafficking of trophic factors in axons can occur in a retrograde and anterograde direction. Recent findings bring further support for a vesicle-based process for retrograde transport but raise new questions that need to be pursued. Unraveling the exact mechanisms that account for retrograde transport of neurotrophins and their receptors will reveal the cellular requirements for propagating tro...
متن کاملExpression and mechanistic analysis of a germacradienol synthase from Streptomyces coelicolor implicated in geosmin biosynthesis.
The PCR has been used to amplify a 2,181-bp ORF from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), designated SC9B1.20 (= SCO6073), encoding a protein of 726 amino acids and showing significant sequence similarity at the deduced amino acid level in both the N-terminal and C-terminal halves to the known sesquiterpene synthase pentalenene synthase. The full-length recombinant protein was expressed at high level...
متن کاملThe Redux 0 Server
Redux 0 is a subset of the full REDUX modell7]. The latter performs problem solving. In contrast Redux 0 does not and acts only as a decision maintenance server. It takes objects of types deened in an ontology of decision components and maintains dependencies between them. Redux 0 is domain-independent. The dependency relationships are maintained on the basis of proposition type and not content...
