It has been confirmed that free amino and carboxyl groups disappear during plastein formation from concentrated proteose by crystalline pepsin. Using papain, the changes are obscured by simultaneous hydrolysis. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the plasteins results in the liberation of free amino and carboxyl groups.Reactive "tyrosine" decreases during plastein formation by either enzyme. The same groups are liberated on enzymatic hydrolysis of the plasteins, in a manner analogous to that which takes place in the hydrolysis of typical proteins.It is concluded that in so far as the changes in amino, carboxyl, and "tyrosine" groups are concerned, the plasteins are similar to typical proteins. It is further suggested that the phenolic hydroxyl groups of tyrosine play an essential role in the structure of the protein molecule.Benzaldehyde was found to have no effect on the formation of plastein from proteose by crystalline pepsin.

Configuration retaining glycosidases catalyse the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds via a double displacement mechanism, typically involving two key active site carboxyl groups (Glu or Asp). One of the enzymic carboxyl groups functions as a general acid–base catalyst, the other acts as a nucleophile. Alternatively, configuration-retaining hexosaminidases from the sequence-related glycosidase families 18, 20, and 56 lack a suitably positioned enzymic nucleophile; instead, they use the carbonyl oxygen atom of the neighbouring C2-acetamido group of the substrate. The carbonyl oxygen atom of the 2-acetamido group provides anchimeric assistance to the enzyme catalyzed reaction by acting as an intramolecular nucleophile, attacking the anomeric center and forming a cyclized oxazolinium ion intermediate that is stereochemically equivalent to the glycosyl–enzyme intermediate formed in the "normal" double displacement mechanism. Although there is little sequence similarity between families 18, 20, and 56 hexosaminidases, X-ray crystallographic studies demonstrate that they have evolved similar catalytic domains and active site architectures that are designed to distort the bound substrate so that the C2-acetamido group can become appropriately positioned to participate in catalysis. The substrate distortion allows for a substrate-assisted catalytic reaction that displays all the general characteristics of the classic double-displacement mechanism including the formation of a covalent intermediate.Key words: glycoside hydrolase, hexosaminidase, glycosidase, substrate-assisted catalysis, anchimeric assistance.

Abstract Condensation of cytidine or uridine with ethyl levulinate leads to the acetals 1a/2a. The reac­tion would be expected to give mixtures of diastereoisom ers. As shown by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy only one diastereoisomer is formed. By spectroscopic comparison of 1a/2a with the corresponding adenosine acetal the absolute configuration of the new chiral centre was found to be R. The acetal m ethyl group of 1a/2a in exo-location can serve to distinguish the two m ethyl signals of O-2′,3′-isopropylidenecytidine and -uridine in the NM R spectra. On alkaline hydrolysis of the esters the acids 1b and 2b are formed, which can be condensed through their carboxyl groups with 6-aminohexylagarose. The affinity resins 3 and 4 contain 7.1 μmol and 7.6 μmol ligand/g moist gel respectively. A biospecificity of the new polymers to cytidine-and uridine converting enzymes is expected.

Four-component condensations between amine, carboxyl, isocyanide and aldehyde lead to the formation of N-substituted amides (Ugi, 1962). The present paper describes the use of such condensations for the introduction of chemically reactive groups on to the polyamide backbone of nylon. Polyisonitrile-nylon was synthesized by partial hydrolysis of nylon-6 powder, followed by resealing of the newly formed −CO2... NH2− pairs via a four-component condensation, by using acetaldehyde and 1,6-di-isocyanohexane. Polyisonitrile-nylon could also be converted into a diazotizable arylamino derivative, polyaminoaryl-nylon, by a four-component condensation by using a bifunctional amine, pp′-diaminodiphenylmethane, in the presence of an aldehyde and a carboxylate compound. The versatility of four-component condensations involving the isocyanide functional group of polyisonitrile-nylon allowed coupling of proteins, in an aqueous medium at neutral pH, through either their amino or carboxyl groups. Trypsin and papain were bound to polyisonitrile-nylon through their amino groups by a four-component condensation by using acetaldehyde and acetate; conversely, succinyl-(3-carboxypropionyl-)trypsin, pepsin and papain were coupled through their carboxyl groups in the presence of acetaldehyde and an amine (Tris). Diazotized polyaminoaryl-nylon could be utilized for the immobilization of papain, via the tyrosine residues of the enzyme.

The title compound, C17H13BrO3S, was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl 2-[5-(4-bromophenyl)-3-methylsulfanyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl]acetate. There are two symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The 4-bromophenyl rings are rotated out of the benzofuran planes, with dihedral angles for the two molecules of 50.22 (8) and 35.4 (1)°. The methyl groups of the methylsulfanyl substituent are almost perpendicular to the plane of the benzofuran fragment [99.5 (2) and 100.8 (2)°] and are slightly tilted towards it. The crystal structure is stabilized by a C—H...O hydrogen bond and a Br...O halogen bond [Br...O = 3.284 (2) Å], and by inversion-related intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups from two symmetry-independent molecules.

Fusion Ability

Native insulin causes fusion of negatively charged liposomes in the pH range from 3.0 to 5.5. In marked contrast, insulin with all three amino groups succinylated did not show fusion ability at any pH. On the other hand, insulin amidated with glycine methyl ester with all six carboxyl groups blocked shifted its activity to higher pH, showing a pH range of activity from 3.0 to 7.4. When the carboxyl groups were recovered by hydrolysis of methoxyl groups from glycine methyl ester-treated insulin, the protein obtained (glycyl-insulin with six free carboxyl groups) behaved as native insulin. A good correlation between the isoelectric point values of insulin and its derivatives and their fusion properties was found.

The binding of Ca2+ to a previously described phosphoprotein from human parotid saliva, protein A [Bennick (1975) Biochem J. 145, 557-567] was studied by means of equilibrium dialysis. In 5 mM-Tris/HC1 buffer, pH7.5, protein A bound 664nmol of Ca/mg of protein. Km was determined to be 181 muM and the binding of Ca2+ to the protein was non-co-operative. The binding of Ca2+ apparently occurs to side-chain carboxyl groups in the protein, but protein phosphate is of minor if any importance in calcium binding. Hydrolysis of protein A by trypsin and collagenase or heating of the protein at 60 degrees or 100 degrees C did not affect Ca2+ binding. The Ca2+ binding decreases with increased concentration of the dialysis buffer and on the addition of SrCl2, or MgCl2 or MnCl2 to the dialysis buffer. Protein A does not aggregate in the presence of Ca2+, since the s20,w was identical when determined in the presence (1.30S) and absence (1.35S) of CaCl2. By use of a specific antiserum to protein A it was found that protein C [Bennick & Connell (1971) Biochem. J. 123, 455-464] and perhaps minor related components cross-reacted with protein A. No other salivary proteins showed immunological similarity. Proteins A and C were also present in submandibular saliva. The possible functions of protein A are discussed.
