“…Five b-strands define one side of the molecule whereas a small a2helix (58-65) spans three of these strands: (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), (72-77), (99-109) on the other side. Residues belonging to the other three b-strands (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31), (35)(36)(37)(38)(39), (46)(47)(48)(49)(50), the helix and two long loops (51-57), (80-98) form a hydrophobic binding pocket that harbors rapamycin. Hydrogen bonds that rapamycin establishes with residues D37, Q53, I56, Y82 are conserved both in the recombinant and synthetic calstabin structures [ Fig.…”

“…In our company, we entered the peptide chemistry domain a long time ago through various approaches (see e.g., [21][22][23] ), and only recently did we decide to explore the possibility of producing, refolding, characterizing, and even crystallizing synthetic proteins. The goal behind this program was and still is to master those technologies in our laboratory, in order to explore several hard-to-produce enzymes, to modify Biologics to render them more stable, as well as to launch some structure/mutations relationship studies on target enzymes implicated in key physiopathological pathways.…”

Synthetic biology (or chemical biology) is a growing field to which the chemical synthesis of proteins, particularly enzymes, makes a fundamental contribution. However, the chemical synthesis of catalytically active proteins (enzymes) remains poorly documented because it is difficult to obtain enough material for biochemical experiments. We chose calstabin, a 107-amino-acid proline isomerase, as a model. We synthesized the enzyme using the native chemical ligation approach and obtained several tens of milligrams. The polypeptide was refolded properly, and we characterized its biophysical properties, measured its catalytic activity, and then crystallized it in order to obtain its tridimensional structure after X-ray diffraction. The refolded enzyme was compared to the recombinant, wild-type enzyme. In addition, as a first step of validating the whole process, we incorporated exotic amino acids into the N-terminus. Surprisingly, none of the changes altered the catalytic activities of the corresponding mutants. Using this body of techniques, avenues are now open to further obtain enzymes modified with exotic amino acids in a way that is only barely accessible by molecular biology, obtaining detailed information on the structurefunction relationship of enzymes reachable by complete chemical synthesis.

“…The majority of quantitative studies of AHLs, however, have focused on planktonic cultures using a variety of AHL±reporter constructs such as an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain (Shaw et al, 1997). Other non-AHL components in the extract may also interfere with the reporter system (Boutin et al, 1999). However, quantitative bioassays that are currently in use are limited in both analyte separation and detection.…”

“…For example, sensitivity for the A. tumefaciens assay ranges from 0.0005 pmol for the endogenous signal N-3-oxo-octanoyl homoserine lactone (OOHL) to 300 pmol for hexanoyl homoserine lactone (Shaw et al, 1997). Other non-AHL components in the extract may also interfere with the reporter system (Boutin et al, 1999). In the only quantitative assay reported in the literature that is not based on a bioassay, Reimmann et al (1997) reported the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV, although no sensitivity or other validation data were provided.…”

A method is reported for the quantification of 3-oxoacyl homoserine lactones (3-oxo AHLs), a major class of quorum-sensing signals found in Gram-negative bacteria. It is based on the conversion of 3-oxo AHLs to their pentafluorobenzyloxime derivatives followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (electron capture-negative ion). The method used [13C16]-N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone ([13C16]-OdDHL) as the internal standard, and its validity was tested by spiking the supernatant and cell fractions with three levels of 3-oxo AHLs, i.e. 1, 10 and 100 ng per sample. These showed the method to be both sensitive (S/N ratio >10:1 for 1 ng) and accurate. The assay was applied to the biofilm and effluent of a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6294) culture grown in flow cells. Biofilm volume was determined for three replicate flow cells by confocal scanning laser microscopy. OdDHL was detected in the biofilm at 632 +/- 381 microM and the effluent at 14 +/- 3 nM. The biofilm concentration is the highest level so far reported for an AHL in a wild-type bacterial system. The next most abundant 3-oxo AHL in the biofilm and effluent was N-3-oxo-tetradecanoyl homoserine lactone (OtDHL) at 40 +/- 15 microM and 1.5 +/- 0.7 nM respectively. OtDHL is unreported for P. aeruginosa and has an activity equivalent to OdDHL in a lasR bioassay. Two other 3-oxo AHLs were detected at lower concentrations: N3-oxo-decanoyl homoserine lactone (ODHL) in the biofilm (3 +/- 2 microM) and effluent (1 +/- 0.1 nM); and N-3-oxo-octanoyl homoserine lactone (OOHL) in the effluent (0.1 +/- 0.1 nM).
