Biosynthesis in theory and practice: structure determinations.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Classical appraoches to structure determinations of natural molecules can be assisted by biosynthetic considerations. Application of these needs some structural evidence, based on degradations and spectra, as to biogenetic type. This evidence can be effectively supplemented by incorporations of precursors labelled with 14C, 13C or 15N, as appropriate, with examinations of the distributions of label in the product. Several examples of both classical and incorporation techniques are reviewed.

Enhancement by staurosporine of platelet-activating factor formation in N-formyl peptide-challenged human neutrophils is mediated by intracellular platelet-activating factor binding sites.

Staurosporine potentiates the formation of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and causes a sustained elevation of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). WEB 2086, a specific PAF-receptor antagonist, inhibits both potentiation of PAF formation and elevation of [Ca2+]i by 78% and 65%, respectively. Moreover, the PAF produced by FMLP and/or Staurosporine was completely retained in the cell. This suggests that the effect of staurosporine in FMLP-stimulated neutrophils may be mediated by the action of endogenously produced PAF, which in turn leads to an increase in [Ca2+]i and PAF formation. We conclude that PAF is the major product of human neutrophils which reacts via specific intracellular PAF binding sites to stimulate the phospholipase A2, and its synthesis is under control of a staurosporine-sensitive protein kinase.

Protein kinase C activity is rate limiting for shedding of the interleukin-6 receptor.

An analysis of the mechanism of generation of the soluble interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) has been performed. The membrane-bound receptor is proteolytically cleaved to release a soluble receptor form which retained its ligand binding capacity. Furthermore, the soluble IL-6R is unique in its ability to induce a biological signal in complex with the ligand interleukin-6 (IL-6) on cells which by themselves do not bind IL-6. Shedding of the IL-6R is strongly activated by PMA and can be inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. The generation of the IL-6R is not dependent on protein synthesis. The inactive PMA analogue 4-alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate fails to induce shedding of the IL-6R. Transfection of a protein kinase C expression plasmid into IL-6R expressing cells leads to enhanced shedding of the receptor. These experiments clearly show that protein kinase C regulates shedding of the IL-6R.

Involvement of cytochrome P450 in host-plant utilization by Sonoran Desert Drosophila.

The four Drosophila species endemic to the Sonoran Desert (Drosophila mettleri, Drosophila mojavensis, Drosophila nigrospiracula, and Drosophila pachea) utilize necrotic cactus tissue or soil soaked by rot exudate as breeding substrates. Each Drosophila species uses a different cactus species as its primary host. D. pachea is limited to senita cactus by a biochemical dependency on unusual sterols available only in that cactus. For the other Drosophila species, no such chemical dependencies exist to explain the relationships with their primary host plants. Each cactus species has a different array of allelochemicals that have detrimental effects on non-resident fly species. We have hypothesized that the desert fly-cactus associations are due, in part, to differences between the fly species in their allelochemical detoxication enzymes, the cytochrome P450 system. To test whether P450s are involved in the detoxication of cactus allelochemicals, several experiments were done. (i) The effect of a specific P450 inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, on larval survival through eclosion on each cactus substrate was investigated. (ii) In vitro metabolism of cactus alkaloids was determined for each Drosophila species. The effects of specific inducers and inhibitors were included in these experiments. (iii) The basal and induced content of cytochrome P450 in each species was determined. The results support the hypothesis that P450 enzymes are involved in host-plant utilization by these Sonoran Desert Drosophila species.
