Changes in (1→3,1→4)-β-D-glucan endohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.73) protein levels were investigated in segments from second leaves of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The abundance of the enzyme protein markedly increased when leaf segments were incubated in the dark whereas the enzyme rapidly disappeared when dark-incubated segments were illuminated or fed with sucrose. Addition of cycloheximide (CHI) to the incubation medium led to the disappearance of previously synthesized (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase and suppressed the dark-induced accumulation indicating that the enzyme was rather unstable. The degradation of (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase was analyzed without the interference of de-novo synthesis in intercellular washing fluid (IWF). The loss of the enzyme protein during incubation of IWF (containing naturally present peptide hydrolases) indicated that the stability increased from pH 4 to pH 7 and that an increase in the temperature from 25 to 35 °C considerably decreased the stability. Chelating divalent cations in the IWF with o-phenanthroline also resulted in a lowered stability of the enzyme. A strong temperature effect in the range from 25 to 35 °C was also observed in wheat leaf segments. Diurnal changes in (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase activity were followed in intact second leaves from young wheat plants. At the end of the dark period, the activity was high but constantly decreased during the light phase and remained low if the light period was extended. Activity returned to the initial level during a 10-h dark phase. During a diurnal cycle, changes in (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase activity were associated with reciprocal changes in soluble carbohydrates. The results suggest that the synthesis and the proteolytic degradation of an apoplastic enzyme may rapidly respond to changing environmental conditions.

4-Aryl-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones ArCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCOCF3 (CF3-enones) react with arenes in excess of Brønsted superacids (TfOH, FSO3H) to give, stereoselectively, trans-1,3-diaryl-1-trifluoromethyl indanes in 35-85% yields. The reaction intermediates, the O-protonated ArCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHC(OH(+))CF3 and the O,C-diprotonated ArHC(+)CH2C(OH(+))CF3 species, have been studied by means of (1)H, (13)C, (19)F NMR, and DFT calculations. Both types of the cations may participate in the reaction, depending on their electrophilicity and electron-donating properties of the arenes. The formation of CF3-indanes is a result of cascade reaction of protonated CF3-enones to form chemo-, regio- and stereoselectively three new C-C bonds. The obtained trans-1,3-diaryl-1-trifluoromethyl indanes were investigated as potential ligands for cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 types. The most potent compound showed sub-micromolar affinity for both receptor subtypes with a 6-fold selectivity toward the CB2 receptor with no appreciable cytotoxicity toward SHSY5Y cells.

A (1→3,1→4)‐β‐D‐glucan endohydrolase [(1→3,1→4)‐β‐glucanase, EC 3.2.1.73] was detected in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves by Western analyses and activity measurements. This enzyme is able to degrade the (1→3,1→4)‐β‐glucans present in the cell walls of cereals and other grass species. In wheat, enzyme levels clearly increased during leaf development, reaching maximum values at full expansion and then decreasing upon leaf ageing. To test whether the abundance of (1→3,1→4)‐β‐glucanase might be controlled by the carbohydrate status, environmental and nutritional conditions capable of altering the leaf soluble sugar contents were used. Both the activity and enzyme protein levels rapidly and markedly increased when mature leaves were depleted of sugars (e.g. during extended dark periods), whereas elevated carbohydrate contents (e.g. following continuous illumination, glucose supply in the dark or nitrogen deficiency during a light/dark cycle) caused a rapid decrease in (1→3,1→4)‐β‐glucanase abundance or prevented its accumulation in the leaves. The physiological significance of (1→3,1→4)‐β‐glucanase accumulation under sugar depletion remains to be elucidated.

Human a2 -macroglobulin ( a2 M; homotetramer, Mr 720 kDa) is an essential scavenger of proteinases in the serum. Each of its four subunits has a ‘bait region’, with cleavage sequences for almost all endo-proteinases, an unusual thiol ester moiety and a receptor-binding domain (RBD). Bait region cleavage in native a2 M ( a2 M-N) by a proteinase results in rapid thiol ester breakage, with a large-scale structural transformation, in which a2 M uniquely entraps the proteinase in a cage-like structure and exposes receptor-binding domains for rapid endocytosis. Transformed a2 M ( a2 M-TR) contains up to two proteinases, which remain active to small substrates. 3-D electron microscopy is optimally suited to study this unusual structural change at resolutions near (1/30) Å−1. ^ The structural importance of the thiol esters was demonstrated by a genetically-engineered a2 M, with the cysteines involved in thiol ester formation mutated to serines, which appeared structurally homologous to a2 M-TR. This demonstrates that the four highly labile thiol esters alone maintain the a2 M-N structure, while the ‘closed trap’ formed by a2 M-TR is a more stable structural form. ^ Half-transformed a2 M ( a2 M-HT), with cleaved bait regions and thiol esters in only two of its four subunits, provides an important structural link between a2 M-N and a2 M-TR. A comparison with a2 M-N showed the two proteinase-entrapping domains were above and below the plane bisecting the long axis. Both a2 M-N and a2 M-TR consist of two dense, oppositely twisted strands with significant interconnections, indicating that the structural change involves a rotation of these strands. In a2 M-HT these strands were partially untwisted with large central openings, revealing the manner in which the proteinase enters the internal cavity of a2 M. ^ In reconstructions of a2 M-N, a2 M-HT and a2 M-TR labeled with a monoclonal Fab, the Fabs were located on distal ends of each constitutive strand, demonstrating an anti-parallel arrangement of the subunits. Separation between the top and bottom pairs of Fabs was nearly the same on all structures, but the pairs were rotated about the long axis. Taken together, these results indicate that upon proteinase cleavage the two strands in a2 M-N separate. The proteinase enters the structure, while the strands re-twist to encage it. In a2 M-TR, which displays receptor-binding arms, more than two subunits are transformed as strands in the transformed half of a2 M-HT were not separated. ^

Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 is a Gram negative facultative photoheterotrophic bacterium that has been shown to have an N-acyl homoserine lactone-based quorum sensing system called cer for c&barbelow;ommunity e&barbelow;scape r&barbelow;esponse. The cer ORFs are cerR, the transcriptional regulator, cerI, the autoinducer synthase and cerA , whose function is unknown. The autoinducer molecule, 7,8- cis-N-(tetradecenoyl) homoserine lactone, has been characterized. The objective of this study was to identify an environmental stimulus that influences the regulation of cerRAI and, to characterize transcription of the cer operon. ^ A cerR::lacZ transcriptional fusion was made and β-Galactosidase assays were performed in R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 strains, wild type, AP3 (CerI−) and AP4 (CerR−). The cerR::lacZ β-Galactosidase assays were used as an initial survey of the mode of regulation of the Cer system. A cerA::lacZ translational fusion was created and was used to show that cerA can be translated. The presence of 7,8-cis-N-(tetradecenoyl) homoserine lactone was detected from R. sphaeroides strains wild type and AP4 (CerR−) using a lasR::lacZ translational fusion autoinducer bioassay. The cerR::lacZ transcriptional fusion in R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 wild type was tested under different environmental stimuli, such as various carbon sources, oxygen tensions, light intensities and culture media to determine if they influence transcription of the cer ORFs. Although lacZ assay data implicated high light intensity at 100 W/m2 to stimulate cer transcription, quantitative Northern RNA data of the cerR transcript showed that low light intensity at 3 W/m2 is at least one environmental stimulus that induces cer transcription. This finding was supported by DNA microarray analysis. Northern analysis of the cerRAI transcript provided evidence that the cer ORFs are co-transcribed, and that the cer operon contains two additional genes. Bioinformatics was used to identify genes that may be regulated by the Cer system by identifying putative lux box homologue sequences in the presumed promoter region of these genes. Genes that were identified were fliQ, celB and calsymin, all implicated in interacting with plants. Primer extension was used to help localize cis-elements in the promoter region. The cerR::lacZ transcriptional fusion was monitored in a subset of different global DNA binding transcriptional regulator mutant strains of R. sphaeroides 2.4.1. Those regulators involved in maintaining an anaerobic photosynthetic lifestyle appeared to have an effect. Collectively, the data imply that R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 activates the Cer system when grown anaerobic photosynthetically at low light intensity, 3 W/m2, and it may be involved in an interaction with plants. ^
