- Hydrolysis of organophosphate esters: Phosphotriesterase activity of metallo-ss-lactamase and its functional mimics
-
The phosphotriesterase (PTE) activity of a series of binuclear and mononuclear zinc(II) complexes and metallo-β-lactamase (mβl) from Bacillus cereus was studied. The binuclear complex 1, which exhibits good mβl activity, shows poor PTE activity. In contrast, complex 2, a poor mimic of mβl, exhibits much higher activity than 1. The replacement of Cl - ligands by OH- is important for the high PTE activity of complex 2 because this complex does not show any catalytic activi-ty in methanol. The natural enzyme mssl from B. cereus is also found to be an inefficient catalyst in the hydrolysis of phosphotriesters. These observations indicate that the binding of -lactam substrates at the binuclear zinc(II) center is different from that of phosphotriesters. Furthermore, phospho diesters, the products from the hydrolysis of triesters, significantly inhibit the PTE activity of mβl and its functional mimics. Although the mononuclear complexes 3 and 4 exhibited significant mβl activity, these complexes are found to be almost inactive in the hydrolysis of phosphotriesters. These observations indicate that the elimination of phosphodiesters from the reaction site is important for the PTE activity of zinc(II) complexes.

- The thermodynamics of phosphate versus phosphorothioate ester hydrolysis
-
Phosphorothioate esters are phosphate esters in which one of the nonbridging oxygen atoms has been replaced by sulfur. In the comparative hydrolysis reactions of phosphorothioate and phosphate esters, the sulfur substitution accelerates the rates of the monoesters while slowing the rates of diesters and of triesters. Previously measured enthalpies and entropies of activation for the hydrolysis reactions of the monoesters, p-nitrophenyl phosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, were compared to the activation parameters measured herein for the diesters, ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate and ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, and the triesters, diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate and diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate. A consistent trend of a greater ΔH? for the phosphorothioate analogue was found in all three classes of ester. In the monoester case, a more positive ΔS? arising from a mechanistic difference (DN + AN for the phosphorothioate versus ANDN for the phosphate) compensates, resulting in a lower ΔG? for the phosphorothioate monoester. Spectroscopic investigations indicate there is no significant difference in bond order to the leaving group in phosphates, as compared to their phosphorothioate analogues, ruling this out as a contribution to the consistently higher enthalpies of activation.

- Process for obtaining acyloins, pyruvate decarboxylases suitable therefor and their production and DNA sequence of the PDC gene coding them
-
A process for obtaining a pyruvate decarboxylase by isolation from a producer organism. The pyruvate decarboxylase is capable of forming (R)-(-)-phenylacetylcarbinole (I) in ≥95% enantiomer unit with a product ratio of (I) to 2-hydoxypropiophenone of ≥95%. In addition, the pyruvate decarboxylase has a specific activity with regard to phenylacetylcarbinole formation of >1U/mg. It is the aim of the invention to obtain a pyruvate decarboxylase with improved synthesis capacity concerning the formation of (R)-(-)-phenylacetylcarbinole. The process of the invention developed for this purpose is characterized in that use is made of a producing organism with a gene coding for pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis, in the DNA sequence of which the tryptophane radical coding codon TGG is replaced at position 1174-1176 by a codon which codes for an amino acid radical with a reduced volume ratio.
