The chemical synthesis of acyl-amino acids is conventionally performed by the Schotten-Baumann reaction using fatty acyl chlorides, but aminoacylases have also been investigated for use in biocatalytic synthesis with free fatty acids. Aminoacylases and their properties are diverse; they belong to different peptidase families and show differences in substrate specificity and biocatalytic potential. Bacterial aminoacylases capable of synthesis have been isolated from Burkholderia, Mycolicibacterium, and Streptomyces. Although several proteases and peptidases from S. griseus have been described, no aminoacylases from this species have been identified yet. In this study, we investigated two novel enzymes produced by S. griseus DSM 40236ᵀ . We identified and cloned the respective genes and recombinantly expressed an α-aminoacylase (EC 3.5.1.14), designated SgAA, and an ε-lysine acylase (EC 3.5.1.17), designated SgELA, in S. lividans TK23. The purified aminoacylase SgAA was biochemically characterized, focusing on its hydrolytic activity to determine temperature- and pH optima and stabilities. The aminoacylase could hydrolyze various acetyl-amino acids at the Nα -position with a broad specificity regarding the sidechain. Substrates with longer acyl chains, like lauroyl-amino acids, were hydrolyzed to a lesser extent. Purified aminoacylase SgELA specific for the hydrolysis of Nε -acetyl-L-lysine was unstable and lost its enzymatic activity upon storage for a longer period but could initially be characterized. The pH optimum of SgELA was pH 8.0. While synthesis of acyl-amino acids was not observed with SgELA, SgAA catalyzed the synthesis of lauroyl-methionine.}, language = {en} } @article{MuesgenanntKoersMcNeilRadchenkoetal.2023, author = {Mues genannt Koers, Lucas and McNeil, S.

This problem is getting worse and even continues in temperate climatic regions due to climate change. To address this problem, the use of biodegradable hydrogels is increasingly important for the application as water-retaining additives in soil. Furthermore, efficient (micro-)nutrient supply can be provided by the use of tailored hydrogels. Biodegradable polyaspartic acid (PASP) hydrogels with different available (1,6-hexamethylene diamine (HMD) and L-lysine (LYS)) and newly developed crosslinkers based on diesters of glycine (GLY) and (di-)ethylene glycol (DEG and EG, respectively) were synthesized and characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and regarding their swelling properties (kinetic, absorbency under load (AUL)) as well as biodegradability of PASP hydrogel. Copper (II) and zinc (II), respectively, were loaded as micronutrients in two different approaches: in situ with crosslinking and subsequent loading of prepared hydrogels. The results showed successful syntheses of di-glycine-ester-based crosslinkers. Hydrogels with good water-absorbing properties were formed. Moreover, the developed crosslinking agents in combination with the specific reaction conditions resulted in higher water absorbency with increased crosslinker content used in synthesis (10\% vs. 20\%). The prepared hydrogels are candidates for water-storing soil additives due to the biodegradability of PASP, which is shown in an exemple. The incorporation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions can provide these micronutrients for plant growth.}, language = {en} } @article{BerndtZahn1975, author = {Berndt, Heinz and Zahn, Helmut}, title = {Peptide, 99 : Monomere cyclische Cystinpeptidderivate, III ; Synthese der Schafinsulin-A-Kettensequenzen A2-21 und A1-21 als monomere cyclische Dicystinpeptidderivate}, series = {Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie}, volume = {1975}, journal = {Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1099-0690}, doi = {10.1002/jlac.197519750908}, pages = {1601 -- 1612}, year = {1975}, abstract = {Die Synthese der Sequenzen A2—21 (13) und A1—21 (15) der Schafinsulin-A-Kette als monomere cyclische Dicystinpeptidderivate wird beschrieben.

Concerning the projected depletion of fossil fuels, this is of great interest. The cultivation of clostridia is known to be challenging, and it is difficult to achieve reproducible results and robust processes. However, existing publications usually concentrate on the cultivation conditions of the main culture. In this paper, the influence of cryo-conservation and pre-culture on growth and solvent production in the resulting main cultivation are examined. A protocol was developed that leads to reproducible cultivations of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Detailed investigation of the cell conservation in cryo-cultures ensured reliable cell growth in the pre-culture. Moreover, a reason for the acid crash in the main culture was found, based on the cultivation conditions of the pre-culture. The critical parameter to avoid the acid crash and accomplish the shift to the solventogenesis of clostridia is the metabolic phase in which the cells of the pre-culture were at the time of inoculation of the main culture; this depends on the cultivation time of the pre-culture. Using cells from the exponential growth phase to inoculate the main culture leads to an acid crash. To achieve the solventogenic phase with butanol production, the inoculum should consist of older cells which are in the stationary growth phase. Considering these parameters, which affect the entire cultivation process, reproducible results and reliable solvent production are ensured.}, language = {en} } @article{KruegerGroetzingerBerndt1987, author = {Kr{\"u}ger, G{\"o}tz and Gr{\"o}tzinger, Joachim and Berndt, Heinz}, title = {Enantiomeric resolution of amino acid derivatives on chiral stationary phases by high-performance liquid chromatography}, series = {Journal of Chromatography A}, volume = {1987}, journal = {Journal of Chromatography A}, number = {397}, issn = {0021-9673}, doi = {10.1016/S0021-9673(01)85005-6}, pages = {223 -- 232}, year = {1987}, language = {en} } @article{NokiharaBerndt1978, author = {Nokihara, Kiyoshi and Berndt, Heinz}, title = {Synthesis of hapten-polypeptide conjugates as antigen models for the N-terminal region of the α-2-chain of rabbit skin collagen}, series = {Journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry: Perkin Transactions 1}, volume = {1978}, journal = {Journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry: Perkin Transactions 1}, number = {3}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1364-5463}, doi = {10.1039/P19780000260}, pages = {260 -- 263}, year = {1978}, abstract = {Synthesis of derivatives of the peptide sequence L-pyroglutamyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-aspartyl-glycyl-L-lysyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycine as the antigenic determinant representing the N-terminal non-helical region of the α-2-chain of rabbit skin collagen, and conjugation to two different polypeptide carriers, are described.}, language = {en} } @article{ScheerKapelyukhRodeetal.2012, author = {Scheer, Nico and Kapelyukh, Yury and Rode, Anja and Buechel, Sandra and Wolf, C.

As a consequence, the use of wild-type animal models to predict the role of human CYP2C enzymes in drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions is limited. Within the human CYP2C cluster CYP2C9 is of particular importance, because it is one of the most abundant P450 enzymes in human liver, and it is involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of important drugs and environmental chemicals. To investigate the in vivo functions of cytochrome P450 Cyp2c genes and to establish a model for studying the functions of CYP2C9 in vivo, we have generated a mouse model with a deletion of the murine Cyp2c gene cluster and a corresponding humanized model expressing CYP2C9 specifically in the liver. Despite the high number of functional genes in the mouse Cyp2c cluster and the reported roles of some of these proteins in different biological processes, mice deleted for Cyp2c genes were viable and fertile but showed certain phenotypic alterations in the liver. The expression of CYP2C9 in the liver also resulted in viable animals active in the metabolism and disposition of a number of CYP2C9 substrates. These mouse lines provide a powerful tool for studying the role of Cyp2c genes and of CYP2C9 in particular in drug disposition and as a factor in drug-drug interaction.}, language = {en} } @article{KalbeKuropkaMeyerStorketal.1988, author = {Kalbe, Jochen and Kuropka, Rolf and Meyer-Stork, L.
