Covalent Linkage of an R-ω-Transaminase to a d-Amino Acid Oxidase through Protein Splicing to Enhance Enzymatic Catalysis of Transamination

R-ω-Transaminases (RTAs) catalyse the conversion of R-configured amines [e.g., (R)-1-phenylethylamine] into the corresponding ketones (e.g., acetophenone), by transferring an amino group from an amino donor [e.g., (R)-1-phenylethylamine] onto an amino acceptor (e.g., pyruvate), resulting in a co-product (e.g., d -alanine). d -Alanine can be deaminated back to pyruvate by d -amino acid oxidase (DAAOs). Here, through in vivo subunit splicing, the N terminus of an RTA subunit (RTA^S) was specifically ligated to the C terminus of a DAAO subunit (DAAO^S) through native peptide bonds (RTA&DAAO). RTA^S is in close proximity to DAAO^S, at a molecular-scale distance. Thus the transfer of pyruvate and d -alanine between RTA and DAAO can be directional and efficient. Pyruvate→d -alanine→pyruvate cycles are efficiently formed, thus promoting the forward transamination reaction. In a different, in vitro noncovalent approach, based on coiled-coil association, the RTA^S N terminus was specifically associated with the DAAO^S C terminus (RTA#DAAO). In addition, the two mixed individual enzymes (RTA+DAAO) were also studied. RTA&DAAO has a shorter distance between the paired subunits (RTA^S–DAAO^S) than RTA#DAAO, and the number of the paired subunits is higher than in the case of RTA#DAAO, whereas RTA+DAAO cannot form the paired subunits. RTA&DAAO exhibited a transamination catalysis efficiency higher than that of RTA#DAAO and much higher than that of RTA+DAAO.     

Amination of biochar surface from watermelon peel for toxic chromium removal enhancement

Watermelon peel residues were used to produce a new biochar by dehydration method. The new biochar has undergone two methods of chemical modification and the effect of this chemical modification on its ability to adsorb Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution has been investigated. Three biochars, Melon-B, Melon-BO-NH_2 and Melon-BO-TETA, were made from watermelon peel via dehydration with 50% sulfuric acid to give Melon-B followed by oxidation with ozone and amination using ammonium hydroxide to give Melon-BO-NH_2 or Triethylenetetramine(TETA) to give Melon-BO-TETA. The prepared biochars were characterized by BET, BJH,SEM, FT-IR, TGA, DSC and EDAX analyses. The highest removal percentage of Cr(VI) ions was 69% for Melon-B,98% for Melon-BO-NH_2 and 99% for Melon-BO-TETA biochars of 100 mg·L~(-1) Cr(VI) ions initial concentration and 1.0 g·L~(-1) adsorbents dose. The unmodified biochar(Melon-B) and modified biochars(Melon-BO-NH_2 and Melon-BO-TETA) had maximum adsorption capacities(Qm) of 72.46, 123.46, and 333.33 mg·g~(-1), respectively.The amination of biochar reduced the pore size of modified biochar, whereas the surface area was enhanced.The obtained data of isotherm models were tested using different error function equations. The Freundlich,Tempkin and Langmuir isotherm models were best fitted to the experimental data of Melon-B, Melon-BO-NH_2 and Melon-BO-TETA, respectively. The adsorption rate was primarily controlled by pseudo-second–order rate model. Conclusively, the functional groups interactions are important for adsorption mechanisms and expected to control the adsorption process. The adsorption for the Melon-B, Melon-BO-NH_2 and Melon-BO-TETA could be explained for acid–base interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction.     

Pd2(dba)3-catalyzed amination of C5-bromo-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4] thiadiazole with substituted anilines at conventional heating in Schlenk tube

ABSTRACT

An efficient Pd₂(dba)₃-catalyzed amination of C5-bromo-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole using conventional heating is reported. The C5-bromoimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole was synthesized using a multistep approach which started by cyclization of thiosemicarbazide with a carboxylic acid to give 2-amino[1,3,4]thiadiazoles which were further treated with 2-haloketones to give imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles. Then, the bromination of imidazothiadiazole was done using N-bromosuccinimide to give the C5-bromo-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole. Afterward, various C-N bond-forming approaches were attempted such as S_NAr, Cu(I), Cu(II), Pd(OAc)_2, Pd₂(dba)₃ catalyst with different ligand, additive, base, solvent and temperature conditions. Out of various approaches used, only Buchwald Hartwig amination, performed with conventional heating, gave N-arylamine-5-imidazothiadiazoles. Then, 10 different anilines with different electron-withdrawing and donating groups at different positions were employed to examine the scope and limitations of the method. Salient features of this method include conventional heating in a Schlenk tube as the reaction condition, the absence of the use of toxic isocyanides, the wide nature of substituent tolerance with anilines, and moderately good product yields.
