Protein engineering of a disulfide bond in a beta/alpha-barrel protein.
A disulfide bond has been introduced in the beta/alpha-barrel enzyme N-(5'-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate isomerase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The design of this disulfide bond was based on a model structure of this enzyme, built from the high-resolution crystal structure of the N-(5'-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate isomerase domain from Escherichia coli. The disulfide cross-link is spontaneously formed in vitro between residues 27 and 212, located in the structurally adjacent alpha-helices 1 and 8 of the outer helical ring of the beta/alpha-barrel. It creates a loop of 184 residues that account for 83% of the sequence of this enzyme, thus forming a quasi circular protein. The cross-linked mutant enzyme displays wild-type steady-state kinetic parameters. Measurements of the equilibrium constant for the reduction of this disulfide bond by 1,4-dithiothreitol show that its bond strength is comparable to that of other engineered protein disulfide bonds. The oxidized, cross-linked N-(5'-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate isomerase mutant is about 1.0 kcal/mol more stable than the wild-type enzyme, as estimated from its equilibrium unfolding transitions by guanidine hydrochloride.

Arabidopsis thaliana auxotrophs reveal a tryptophan-independent biosynthetic pathway for indole-3-acetic acid.
We used tryptophan auxotrophs of the dicot Arabidopsis thaliana (wall cress) to determine whether tryptophan has the capacity to serve as a precursor to the auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Quantitative gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-SIM-MS) revealed that the trp2-1 mutant, which is defective in the conversion of indole to tryptophan, accumulated amide- and ester-linked IAA at levels 38-fold and 19-fold, respectively, above those of the wild type. Tryptophan and free IAA were isolated from the trp2-1 mutant grown in the presence of [15N]anthranilate and [2H5]tryptophan, and the relative 15N and 2H5 enrichments of tryptophan and IAA were determined via GC-SIM-MS. The 15N enrichment of tryptophan, 13% +/- 4%, was less than the 15N enrichment of the IAA pool, 39% +/- 4%; therefore, IAA biosynthesis occurs via a tryptophan-independent pathway. The amount of 2H5 incorporated by the plant into IAA from tryptophan (9% +/- 4%) was low and only slightly above the level of spontaneous, nonenzymatic conversion of [2H5]tryptophan to [2H5]IAA. These results show that the dicot Arabidopsis is similar to the monocot Zea mays in that the major route of IAA biosynthesis does not occur through tryptophan.

Characterization and heterologous expression of hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyl-CoA:anthranilate N-hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferase from elicited cell cultures of carnation, Dianthus caryophyllus L.
Benzoyl-CoA:anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase catalyzes the first committed reaction of phytoalexin biosynthesis in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.), and the product N-benzoylanthranilate is the precursor of several sets of dianthramides. The transferase activity is constitutively expressed in suspension-cultured carnation cells and can be rapidly induced by the addition of yeast extract. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from yeast-induced carnation cells and shown to consist of a single polypeptide chain of 53 kDa. Roughly 20% of the sequence was identified by micro-sequencing of tryptic peptides, and some of these sequences differed in a few amino acid residues only suggesting the presence of isoenzymes. A specific 0.8 kb cDNA probe was generated by RT-PCR, employing degenerated oligonucleotide primers complementary to two of the tryptic peptides and using poly(A)+ RNA from elicited carnation cells. Five distinct benzoyltransferase clones were isolated from a cDNA library, and three cDNAs, pchcbt1-3, were sequenced and shown to encode full-size N-benzoyltransferases. The translated peptide sequences revealed more than 95% identity among these three clones. The additional two clones harbored insert sequences mostly homologous with pchcbt 1 but differing in the 3'-flanking regions due to variable usage of poly(A) addition sites. The identity of the clones was confirmed by matching the translated polypeptides with the tryptic enzyme sequences as well as by the activity of the benzoyltransferase expressed in Escherichia coli. Therefore, carnation encodes a small family of anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase genes. In vitro, the benzoyltransferases exhibited narrow substrate specificity for anthranilate but accepted a variety of aromatic acyl-CoAs. Catalytic rates with cinnamoyl- or 4-coumaroyl-CoA exceeded those observed with benzoyl-CoA, although the corresponding dianthramides did not accumulate in vivo. Thus the cDNAs described represent also the first hydroxycinnamoyl-transferases cloned from plants, which classifies the enzymes as hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferases.

Synthesis, chromatographic purification, and analysis of isomers of biliverdin IX and bilirubin IX.
Neutral solvent systems were developed to isolate the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta isomers of biliverdin IX dimethyl ester by TLC. The individual free acids of biliverdin IX were obtained by saponification of the corresponding dimethyl esters. The bilirubin IX isomers were prepared by reducing the corresponding biliverdin IX isomers with NaBH3CN. Starting from a pure biliverdin IX dimethyl ester, the corresponding free acid of biliverdin IX or bilirubin IX was available within 3-4 h. Preparation of spectrally pure bile pigment required final TLC on acid-cleaned neutral TLC plates. The absorption spectra of the free acids and dimethyl esters of biliverdin IX in methanol showed a broad band at about 650 nm and a sharp band at about 375 nm. The long-wave-length band was extremely sensitive to the presence of strong acid. A 10-fold molar excess of HCl caused a 35- to 50-nm shift of the absorption maximum to longer wavelengths and near doubling of the maximum absorption. The molar absorption coefficients of biliverdins were identical for each free acid and dimethyl ester pair. In each case, Beer's law was followed in both methanol and acidified methanol. Methanol also proved to be a suitable solvent for spectroscopic determination of the non-alpha isomers of bilirubin IX. The wavelength of maximum absorption and molar absorption coefficient of each dipyrrolic ethyl anthranilate azo pigment derived from the various bilirubin IX isomers are also reported.

The endosymbiont (Buchnera sp.) of the aphid Diuraphis noxia contains plasmids consisting of trpEG and tandem repeats of trpEG pseudogenes.
Most aphids are dependent for their survival on prokaryotic endosymbionts assigned to the genus Buchnera. Among the functions of Buchnera species is the synthesis of tryptophan, which is required by the aphid host. In Buchnera species from the aphid Diuraphis noxia, the genes for anthranilate synthase (trpEG) were found on a plasmid which consisted of seven tandem repeats of a 3.2-kb unit and one 2.6-kb unit which differed in containing a 0.6-kb deletion. One of the 3.2-kb units contained open reading frames corresponding to trpEG; the remaining units contained trpEG pseudogenes (psi). The nucleotide sequence upstream of trpE contained a region that has characteristics of an origin of replication (ori). Relative to trpB (a chromosomal gene), there were about two copies of the trpEG-containing plasmid. Comparisons of the nucleotide sequences of the 3.2-kb units containing trpEG and psi trpEG indicated that most changes occurred in a 700-nucleotide segment that included the region upstream of trpE and the portion of this gene coding for the N terminus. The consequence of these changes was the silencing of trpEG by inactivation of the putative promoter region and premature termination of the TrpE peptide. In contrast, the nucleotide sequence of the segment corresponding to ori was conserved in the units containing trpEG and psi trpEG. We offer a number of speculations on the evolutionary pressure in this lineage which resulted in the silencing of most of trpEG while still retaining the regions resembling ori.

Studies on the reaction of D-amino acid oxidase with beta-cyano-D-alanine. Observation of an intermediary stable charge transfer complex.
The reaction of D-amino acid oxidase [EC 1.4.3.3] (DAO) from porcine kidney with beta-cyano-D-alanine (D-BCNA) was studied. DAO was found to catalyze elimination of the cyano group as well as oxidation of D-BCNA. During the course of the reaction in the presence of excess oxygen, an intermediate was observed which exhibited a characteristic absorption spectrum with a broad charge transfer band in the longer wavelength region. The CD spectrum of this intermediate resembles that of DAO-anthranilate complex. The rate of oxygen consumption in the aerobic reaction decreased with time, suggesting product inhibition due to complex formation between the enzyme and the product. Anaerobic addition of D-BCNA reduced the enzyme to its fully reduced state, the CD spectrum of which closely resembles that of the enzyme reduced by excess D-alanine. When an appropriate amount of D-BCNA was added to the enzyme under air, the charge transfer complex was observed immediately, and underwent a change to the reduced state as the oxygen was consumed. The binding strength in the charge transfer complex was found to be comparable to that in DAO-benzoate complex. The accumulating product in the oxidation of D-BCNA had a strong absorption at 285 nm. The aerobic reaction of beta-cyano-L-alanine (L-BCNA) with snake venom L-amino acid oxidase (LAO) produced the same product with an absorption at 285 nm as the reaction of DAO with D-BCNA. The product obtained in the reaction with LAO was found to form the same charge transfer complex with DAO. We tentatively identified this product as alpha-amino-beta-cyanoacrylate and the charge transfer complex as the complex of alpha-amino-alpha-cyanoacrylate with the oxidized enzyme. A hypothetical reaction pathway based on the present finding is proposed. Addition of L-BCNA to the enzyme produced an absorption spectrum very similar to that of the DAO-benzoate complex without oxidation or elimination. L-BCNA was found to be a competitive inhibitor of the oxidation of D-alanine.

A simple procedure for the isolation of bilirubin monoglucuronide and diglucuronide from bile.
Isolation of bilirubin monoglucuronide and diglucuronide from rat and human bile has been accomplished by affinity chromatography over albumin agarose, followed by reverse-phase adsorption chromatography over siliconized kieselguhr. The glucuronide nature of the conjugating saccharide was confirmed by TLC, employing two different solvent systems, of the sugar released by either alkaline hydrolysis or ammonolysis. The bilirubin diglucuronide preparation migrated as a single polar band on direct silica gel TLC, yielded exclusively the delta ethyl anthranilate azopigment, and had a sugar:bile pigment molar ratio of 2.01 +/- 0.03 (S.E.M.). The monoglucuronide migrated as a single, less polar band on TLC, yielded equimolar quantities of alpha and delta azopigments, and had a sugar:bile pigment ratio of 1.02 +/0- 0.04. Both conjugates were preparable in milligram quantities, free of phospholipid, bile acid, and cholesterol, at yields averaging 40% to 60%, and could be isolated with high specific activity by injection of pheonbarbital-penetrated rats with delta-aminolevulinic acid-4- 14C or -2,3-3H. Preparations of pure bilirubin conjugates should greatly facilitate studies of bilirubin metabolism.

Isolation and characterization of the TRP1 gene from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and multiple gene disruption using a TRP blaster.
The TRP1 gene encoding N-(5'-phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate isomerase was isolated from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, in which only a few genetic marker genes are available. The Y. lipolytica TRP1 gene (YlTRP1) cloned by complementation of Y. lipolytica trp1 mutation was found to be a functional homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TRP1. Since YlTRP1 could be used for counterselection in medium containing 5-fluoroanthranilic acid (5-FAA), we constructed TRP blasters that contained YlTRP1 flanked by a direct repeat of a sequence and allowed the recycling of the YlTRP1 marker. Using the TRP blasters the sequential disruption of target genes could be carried out within the same strain of Y. lipolytica. The nucleotide sequence of the YlTRP1 gene has been deposited at GenBank under Accession No. AF420590.

Electrophoretic karyotype of the amylolytic yeast Lipomyces starkeyi and cloning, sequencing and chromosomal localization of its TRP1 gene.
The genome of the amylolytic yeast strain Lipomyces starkeyi NCYC 1436 was analysed using contour-clamped homogeneous electric field gel electrophoresis (CHEF). The banding pattern under a variety of running conditions indicating the presence of 11 different chromosome-sized DNA molecules. The sizes of these chromosome bands were determined by comparison with chromosomes from standard strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The chromosomal bands were estimated to be within the range 0.7-2.8 Mb, with the genome (excluding mitochondrial DNA) estimated at 15 Mb. The molecular cloning of the TRP1 gene, isolated from a genomic library of this strain, is also reported: the gene was present on a 6.5-kb Sau3A DNA fragment, and complemented the trpC gene of E. coli. The DNA sequence was determined (EMBL accession No. Z68292) and compared to other tryptophan biosynthetic genes encoding N-(5'-phosphoribosyl) anthranilate isomerase (PRAI) activity. The gene was also used as a probe in hybridization studies, and by this means, its chromosomal location was identified.

Production of auxin and related compounds by the plant parasitic nematodes Heterodera schachtii and Meloidogyne incognita.
Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of auxin, mainly in conjugated form, in secretions of Heterodera schachtii and Meloidogyne incognita, with or without treatment with DMT or resorcinol. M. incognita showed the highest production rates, though treatment of M. incognita with resorcinol had a negative effect on auxin production. Analysis of auxin precursor molecules in lysates of H. schachtii, M. incognita and Caenorhabditis elegans suggested that auxin is most probably a degradation product of tryptophan and that auxin may be synthesized via several intermediates, including indole-3-acetamide which is an intermediate of a pathway so far only characterized in bacteria. Furthermore, high levels of anthranilate, a degradation product of tryptophan in animals, but possibly also a precursor for auxin were detected.

Arabidopsis phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase: molecular genetic analysis of triplicate tryptophan pathway genes.
Phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase (PAI) catalyzes the third step of the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. Arabidopsis PAI cDNAs were cloned from a cDNA expression library by complementation of an Escherichia coli trpC- PAI deficiency mutation. Genomic DNA blot hybridization analysis detected three nonallelic genes encoding PAI in the Arabidopsis genome. DNA sequence analysis of cDNA and genomic clones indicated that the PAI1 and PAI2. All three PAI polypeptides possess an N-terminal putative plastid target sequence, suggesting that these enzymes all function in plastids. The PAI1 gene is flanked by nearly identical direct repeats of approximately 350 nucleotides. Our results indicate that, in contrast to most microorganisms, the Arabidopsis PAI protein is not fused with indole-3-glycerolphosphate synthase, which catalyzes the next step in the pathway. Yeast artificial chromosome hybridization studies indicated that the PAI2 gene is tightly linked to the anthranilate synthase alpha subunit 1 (ASA1) gene on chromosome 5. PAI1 was mapped to the top of chromosome 1 using recombinant inbred lines, and PAI3 is loosely linked to PAI1. cDNA restriction mapping and sequencing and RNA gel blot hybridization analysis indicated that all three genes are transcribed in wild-type plants. The expression of antisense PAI1 RNA significantly reduced the immunologically observable PAI protein and enzyme activity in transgenic plants. The plants expressing antisense RNA also showed two phenotypes consistent with a block early in the pathway: blue fluorescence under UV light and resistance to the anthranilate analog 6-methylanthranilate. The extreme nucleotide conservation between the unlinked PAI1 and PAI2 loci suggests that this gene family is actively evolving.

Regulation of the tryptophan synthetic enzymes in Clostridium butyricum.
Experiments concerned with the regulation of the tryptophan synthetic enzymes in anaerobes were carried out with a strain of Clostridium butyricum. Enzyme activities for four of the five synthetic reactions were readily detected in wild-type cells grown in minimal medium. The enzymes mediating reactions 3, 4, and 5 were derepressed 4- to 20-fold, and the data suggest that these enzymes are coordinately controlled in this anaerobe. The first enzyme of the pathway, anthranilate synthetase, could be derepressed approximately 90-fold under these conditions, suggesting that this enzyme is semicoordinately controlled. Mutants resistant to 5-methyl tryptophan were isolated, and two of these were selected for further analysis. Both mutants retained high constitutive levels of the tryptophan synthetic enzymes even in the presence of repressing concentrations of tryptophan. The anthranilate synthetase from one mutant was more sensitive to feedback inhibition by tryptophan than the enzyme from wild-type cells. The enzyme from the second mutant was comparatively resistant to feedback inhibition by tryptophan. Neither strain excreted tryptophan into the culture fluid. Tryptophan inhibits anthranilate synthetase from wild-type cells noncompetitively with respect to chorismate and uncompetitively with respect to glutamine. The Michaelis constants calculated for chorismate and glutamine are 7.6 x 10(-5)m and 6.7 x 10(-5)m, respectively. The molecular weights of the enzymes estimated by zonal centrifugation in sucrose and by gel filtration ranged from 24,000 to 89,000. With the possible exception of a tryptophan synthetase complex, there was no evidence for the existence of other enzyme aggregates. The data indicate that tryptophan synthesis is regulated by repression control of the relevant enzymes and by feedback inhibition of anthranilate synthetase. That this enzyme system more closely resembles that found in Bacillus than that found in enteric bacteria is discussed.

Deconjugation of bilirubin conjugates and urobilin formation by conventionalized germ-free rats.
The amounts of conjugated bilirubin and urobilins/urobilinogen were determined semiquantitatively in faeces of germ-free (GF) rats during GF condition and after conventionalization by oral administration of faeces suspension from conventional (CONV) rats. The amount of bilirubin conjugates, detected as their ethyl anthranilate azopigments, decreased rapidly 1 day after conventionalization. Thin-layer chromatography analysis of the corresponding faecal azopigment preparations showed that some azopigments started to disappear a few days after the conventionalization, indicating that their corresponding bilirubin conjugates were deconjugated by the bacteria in the intestine. On day 21 after conventionalization, only two azopigments were detected, namely the unconjugated and glucuronic acid conjugated dipyrroles of bilirubin, respectively, thus indicating the presence of only one bilirubin conjugate, the monoglucuronide. After 69 days no azopigments could be detected, indicating the total absence of conjugated bilirubin in these faeces samples. No urobilins were detected in faeces of the rats during their GF state, but these metabolites appeared in faeces one day after conventionalization and increased during a few days to a CONV level.

p-Aminobenzoate-p-aminobenzoate.
p-Aminobenzoate (PABA) synthase from Bacillus subtilis is an aggregate composed of two nonidentical subunits and has the following properties. (i) In crude extracts this enzyme catalyzes the formation of PABA in the presence of chorismate and either glutamine (amidotransferase) or ammonia (aminase). The amidotransferase activity is about 5- to 10-fold higher than the aminase activity and is stable for at least 1 week when frozen at -70 C. (II) Although no divalent cation requirement could be demonstrated with crude extracts, 2 mM ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid completely inhibits both activities. (iii) After ammonium sulfate fractionation both the aminase and amidotransferase activities require Mg2+ and guanosine in addition to the substrates indicated above for optimal activity. The guanosine requirement can be replaced by guanosine 5'-monophosphate, guanosine 5'-diphosphate, and guanosine 5'-triphosphate but not by guanine, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, uridine 5'-triphosphate, cytidine 5'-triphosphate, thymidine 5'-triphosphate, inorganic phosphate, and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate. Furthermore, at a pH above 7.4 or below 6.4 activity is rapidly lost a 4 C, or -60 C. (IV) The enzyme is composed of two non-identical subunits, designated subunit A and subunit X. Subunit A has an estimated molecular weight of 31,000, whereas subunit X has an estimated molecular weight of 19,000. Subunit A has aminase activity but no amidotransferase activity; a mutation at the pabA locus results in the loss of PABA synthase activity. Subunit X, which is also a component of the anthranilate synthase complex, has no PABA synthase activity itself but complexes with subunit A to give an AX aggregate that can use glutamine as a substrate. (v) The molecular weight of the AX complex has been estimated at 50,000, suggesting a 1:1 ratio of subunits. (vi) The enzyme is readily associated and dissociated.

Evolution of transcription-regulating proteins by enzyme recruitment: molecular models for nitrogen metabolite repression and ethanol utilisation in eukaryotes.
Studies on the quinic acid utilisation gene (qut) cluster in Aspergillus nidulans showed that the genes encoding transcriptional activator and repressor proteins evolved by co-opting duplicated copies of genes encoding metabolic enzymes. In order to test the hypothesis that this was a general route for the genesis of regulatory proteins, the origins of the major control protein mediating nitrogen metabolite repression (an example of inter-pathway regulation) and ethanol utilisation (an example of intra-pathway regulation) in filamentous fungi were sought. The regulatory proteins mediating nitrogen metabolite repression were deduced to have originated in a duplication of genes encoding the anthranilate synthase complex which is active in the shikimate pathway. The major protein regulating ethanol utilisation was deduced to have its origin in the fusion of duplicated genes encoding the aldehyde and alcohol dehydrogenases (ALDA and ALCA). These data strongly support the view that transcriptional regulatory proteins evolve by the recruitment of functional domains provided by metabolic enzymes.

Synthesis of substituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines and 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles.
We have developed a liquid-phase synthesis of combinatorial libraries of new disubstituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines and trisubstituted 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles. The former were prepared using two general procedures: (i) cyclization of substituted methyl anthranilates with isothiocyanates, or (ii) cyclization of substituted 2-(methylcarboxy)benzeneisothiocyanates with primary amines or hydrazines. 4-Oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles were prepared by S-alkylation of disubstituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines with alkyl or aryl halides. The hydrolysis of methyl benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6(5H)-thione-3-carboxylate led to the corresponding acid. This acid was utilized in the synthesis of new benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6(5H)-thione-3-carboxamide and S-substituted 6-mecaptobenzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-3-carboxamide libraries.

Similarities between the antABC-encoded anthranilate dioxygenase and the benABC-encoded benzoate dioxygenase of Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1.
Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 can use benzoate or anthranilate as a sole carbon source. These structurally similar compounds are independently converted to catechol, allowing further degradation to proceed via the beta-ketoadipate pathway. In this study, the first step in anthranilate catabolism was characterized. A mutant unable to grow on anthranilate, ACN26, was selected. The sequence of a wild-type DNA fragment that restored growth revealed the antABC genes, encoding 54-, 19-, and 39-kDa proteins, respectively. The deduced AntABC sequences were homologous to those of class IB multicomponent aromatic ring-dihydroxylating enzymes, including the dioxygenase that initiates benzoate catabolism. Expression of antABC in Escherichia coli, a bacterium that normally does not degrade anthranilate, enabled the conversion of anthranilate to catechol. Unlike benzoate dioxygenase (BenABC), anthranilate dioxygenase (AntABC) catalyzed catechol formation without requiring a dehydrogenase. In Acinetobacter mutants, benC substituted for antC during growth on anthranilate, suggesting relatively broad substrate specificity of the BenC reductase, which transfers electrons from NADH to the terminal oxygenase. In contrast, the benAB genes did not substitute for antAB. An antA point mutation in ACN26 prevented anthranilate degradation, and this mutation was independent of a mucK mutation in the same strain that prevented exogenous muconate degradation. Anthranilate induced expression of antA, although no associated transcriptional regulators were identified. Disruption of three open reading frames in the immediate vicinity of antABC did not prevent the use of anthranilate as a sole carbon source. The antABC genes were mapped on the ADP1 chromosome and were not linked to the two known supraoperonic gene clusters involved in aromatic compound degradation.
