C-mannosylation of Trp-7 in human ribonuclease 2 (RNase 2) is a novel kind of protein glycosylation that differs fundamentally from N- and O-glycosylation in the protein-sugar linkage. Previously, we established that the specificity determinant of the acceptor substrate (RNase 2) consists of the sequence W-x-x-W, where the first Trp becomesC-mannosylated. Here we investigated the reaction with respect to the mannosyl donor and the involvement of a glycosyltransferase. C-mannosylation of Trp-7 was reduced 10-fold in CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) Lec15 cells, which are deficient in dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase activity, compared with wild-type cells. This was not a result of a decrease inC-mannosyltransferase activity. Rat liver microsomes were used to C-mannosylate the N-terminal dodecapeptide from RNase 2 in vitro, with Dol-P-Man as the donor. This microsomal transferase activity was destroyed by heat and protease treatment, and displayed the same acceptor substrate specificity as the in vivo reaction studied previously. The C-C linkage between the indole and the mannosyl moiety was demonstrated by tandem electrospray mass spectrometry analysis of the product. GDP-Man, in the presence of Dol-P, functioned as a precursor in vitro with membranes from wild-type but not CHO Lec15 cells. In contrast, with Dol-P-Man both membrane preparations were equally active. It is concluded that a microsomal transferase catalyses C-mannosylation of Trp-7, and that the minimal biosynthetic pathway can be defined as: Man –> –> GDP-Man –> Dol-P-Man –> (C2-Man-)Trp.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease of cancer susceptibility. FA cells exhibit a characteristic hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents. The molecular mechanism for the disease is unknown as few of the FA proteins have functional motifs. Several post-translational modifications of the proteins have been described. We and others (Qiao, F., Moss, A., and Kupfer, G. M. (2001)J. Biol. Chem. 276, 23391–23396 and Futaki, M., Watanabe, S., Kajigaya, S., and Liu, J. M. (2001)Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 281, 347–351) have reported that the FANCG protein (Fanconi complementation group G) is phosphorylated. We show that in anin vitrokinase reaction FANCG is radioactively labeled. Mass spectrometry analysis detected a peptide containing phosphorylation of serine 7. Using PCR-mediated site-directed mutagenesis we mutated serine 7 to alanine. Only wild-typeFANCGcDNA fully corrected FA-G mutant cells. We also tested the effect of human wild-type FANCG in Chinese hamster ovary cells in which the FANCG homologue is mutant. Human FANCG complemented these cells, whereas human FANCG(S7A) did not. Unexpectedly, FANCG(S7A) bound to and stabilized the endogenous forms of the FANCA and FANCC proteins in the FA-G cells. FANCG(S7A) aberrantly localized to globules in chromatin and did not abrogate the internuclear bridges seen in the FA-G mutant cells. Phosphorylation of serine 7 in FANCG is functionally important in the FA pathway.

Activities of nucleotide-sugar:dolichyl phosphate glycosyltransferases (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:dolichyl phosphate N-acetylglucosaminyl 1-phosphotransferase, UDP-glucose:dolichyl phosphate glucosyltransferase and GDP-mannose:dolichyl phosphate mannosyltransferase) are not fully expressed in native microsomes and can be enhanced by pretreatment of the microsomes with detergent. To examine whether the latency of dolichyl phosphate glycosyltransferases in native microsomes reflects a lumenal orientation of the catalytic centre, we examined the effect of proteinase treatment of native microsomes on enzymic activity and investigated the relationship between enzymic activity and alteration of the permeability of the microsomal membrane barrier. The enzymic activities catalysing transfer of N-acetylglucosamine and glucose to lipid acceptors were proteinase-sensitive in native sealed microsomes. When various detergents were used to disrupt the membrane barrier, we found no relationship between activity of dolichyl phosphate glycosyltransferases and the latency of mannose-6-phosphatase, which is a marker of the permeability properties of the microsomal membrane. Permeabilization of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the pore-forming Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin did not affect glycosyltransferase activities. These results do not support the hypothesis that latency of the transferase activities is dependent on the permeability properties of the endoplasmic-reticulum membrane. Collectively our findings can best be explained by postulating that the active centres of the transferases are cytoplasmically oriented, while activation by detergent may be conformation-dependent.

DN203368 ((E)-3-[1-(4-[4-isopropylpiperazine-1-yl]phenyl) 3-methyl-2-phenylbut-1-en-1-yl] phenol) is a 4-hydroxy tamoxifen analog that is a dual inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor β/γ (ERRβ/γ). ERRγ is an orphan nuclear receptor that plays an important role in development and homeostasis and holds potential as a novel therapeutic target in metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cancer. ERRβ is also one of the orphan nuclear receptors critical for many biological processes, such as development. We investigated the in vitro metabolism of DN203368 by conventional and metabolomic approaches using high-resolution mass spectrometry. The compound (100 μM) was incubated with rat and human liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH. In the metabolomic approach, the m/z value and retention time information obtained from the sample and heat-inactivated control group were statistically evaluated using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis. Significant features responsible for group separation were then identified using tandem mass spectra. Seven metabolites of DN203368 were identified in rat liver microsomes and the metabolic pathways include hydroxylation (M1-3), N-oxidation (M4), N-deisopropylation (M5), N,N-dealkylation (M6), and oxidation and dehydrogenation (M7). Only five metabolites (M2, M3, and M5-M7) were detected in human liver microsomes. In the conventional approach using extracted ion monitoring for values of mass increase or decrease by known metabolic reactions, only five metabolites (M1-M5) were found in rat liver microsomes, whereas three metabolites (M2, M3, and M5) were found in human liver microsomes. This study revealed that nontargeted metabolomics combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry and multivariate analysis could be a more efficient tool for drug metabolite identification than the conventional approach. These results might also be useful for understanding the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of DN203368 in animals and humans.

Camptothecin Analogues

Background: E2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O- glycine - deoxycholic acid), and G2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O - acetate - deoxycholic acid) are two novel bile acid-derived camptothecin analogues by introducing deoxycholic acid in 20-position of CPT(camptothecin) with greater anticancer activity and lower systematic toxicity in vivo. Objective: We aimed to investigate the metabolism of E2 and G2 by Rat Liver Microsomes (RLM). Methods: Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 in rat liver microsomes were performed respectively, and the mixed incubation of phase I and phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 was also processed. Metabolites were identified by liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometry. Results: The results showed that phase I metabolism was the major biotransformation route for both E2 and G2. The isoenzyme involved in their metabolism had some difference. The intrinsic clearance of G2 was 174.7mL/min. mg protein, more than three times of that of E2 (51.3 mL/min . mg protein), indicating a greater metabolism stability of E2. 10 metabolites of E2 and 14 metabolites of G2 were detected, including phase I metabolites (mainly via hydroxylations and hydrolysis) and their further glucuronidation products. Conclusion: These findings suggested that E2 and G2 have similar biotransformation pathways except some difference in the hydrolysis ability of the ester bond and amino bond from the parent compounds, which may result in the diversity of their metabolism stability and responsible CYPs(Cytochrome P450 proteins).

Hypoxanthine Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase

ABSTRACT Chinese hamster cells were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, and mutants resistant to 8-azaguanine were selected and characterized. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity of sixteen mutants is extremely negative, making them suitable for reversion to HGPRTase+. Ten of the extremely negative mutants revert at a frequency higher than 10-7 suggesting their point mutational character. The remaining mutants have demonstrable HGPRTase activity and are not useful for reversion analysis. Five of these mutants have < 2% HGPRTase and are presumably also HGPRTase point mutants. The remaining 14 mutants utilize exogenous hypoxanthine for nucleic acid synthesis poorly, and possess 20-150% of wild-type HGPRTase activity in in vitro. Their mechanism of 8-azaguanine resistance is not yet defined.
