The crystal structure of BSH reported here from Bifidobacterium longum reveals that it is a member of N-terminal nucleophil hydrolase structural superfamily possessing the characteristic alpha beta beta alpha tetra-lamellar tertiary structure arrangement. Site-directed mutagenesis of the catalytic nucleophil residue, however, shows that it has no role in zymogen processing into its corresponding active form. Substrate specificity was studied using Michaelis-Menten and inhibition kinetics and fluorescence spectroscopy. These data were compared with the specificity profile of BSH from Clostridium perfrigens and pencillin V acylase from Bacillus sphaericus, for both of which the three-dimensional structures are available. Comparative analysis shows a gradation in activity toward common substrates, throwing light on a possible common route toward the evolution of pencillin V acylase and BSH.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.258</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shah, Pallavi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sridevi, N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prabhune, Asmita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramaswamy, Veda</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Structural features of Penicillin acylase adsorption on APTES functionalized SBA-15</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microporous and Mesoporous Materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penicillin G acylase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PGA immobilized SBA-15</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pH and temperatures stability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SBA-15</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-3</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">116</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">157-165</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The immobilization of Penicillin acylase (PGA) enzyme (which belongs to the Ntn hydrolase super family) into the amino-functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve is carried out to see the effect of silica as a host matrix on the enzyme kinetics. Physicochemical characterization by nitrogen adsorption, powder XRD and TEM methods indicate that the characteristic hexagonal features and the original pore structure of the parent SBA-15 is retained even after the incorporation of PGA. The adsorption of PGA on SBA15 shows a dependence on the pore volume and the composition of the adsorbent. The maximum loading of the enzyme was observed at pH 7.8, slightly below the isoelectric point of the enzyme. The loading capacity of immobilized PGA is 34 mg protein per 0.5 g of SBA-15. The trapped enzyme is more stable than the soluble form to temperature and pH environments and retained 73% of its activity after immobilization. This enhanced stability is attributed to the protective nature of the cage itself and to the rigidity of the SiO(2) matrix, which reduces the freedom of peptide-chain refolding of molecular motions that occur in denaturation processes. The strength of binding is very strong; however, the activity of the immobilized enzyme is then simply restored with very little leakage of enzyme from the support. An important feature of the immobilized PGA enzyme is the excellent reusability without significant loss in activity, which indicates potentially exciting industrial/biomedical application of this support.

To achieve this, the porous polyethylene scaffolds are subjected to N-2+H-2 plasma treatment, in the first step. Subsequently the sophorolipids are covalently attached to the amine groups on the polymer surface through simple amide chemistry to yield sophorolipid grafted polymer scaffolds. These are then exposed to Ag+ ions under appropriate conditions leading to the formation of silver nanoparticles immobilized on the polymer scaffolds. It has been found that while bacteria do not survive on these silver studded scaffolds, CHO-K1 cells thrive on them making them good candidates for tissue engineering and bio-implant applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.914

Fibrous protein, silk fibroin (SF), obtained from the Bombyx mori silkworm is a promising candidate in this area. However, SF has a long gelation time of about a few weeks that can only be reduced by non-physiological treatments (e. g. high temperature, ultrasonication and low pH) or by addition of a chemical and non-biodegradable polymer and/or surfactant. We report here accelerated gelation of SF under physiological conditions using a biosurfactant, sophorolipid (SL) as a gelling agent. SL and SF are completely miscible and form a very clear solution upon mixing. Hence it is interesting to see that this clear solution gels in a time span of just a few hours. The hydrogels so formed have pore architecture, porosities and mechanical stability ideally suited for tissue culture applications. Here we also demonstrate that mouse fibroblast cells not only adhere to but also extensively proliferate on these SF-SL scaffolds.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dubey, Parul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Sugam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aswal, Vinod K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravindranathan, Sapna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajamohanan, Pattuparambil R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prabhune, Asmita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nisal, Anuya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silk fibroin-sophorolipid gelation: deciphering the underlying mechanism</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomacromolecules</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3318-3327</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Silk fibroin (SF) protein, produced by silkworm Bombyx mori, is a promising biomaterial, while sophorolipid (SL) is an amphiphilic functional biosurfactant synthesized by nonpathogenic yeast Candida bombicola. SL is a mixture of two forms, acidic (ASL) and lactonic (LSL), which when added to SF results in accelerated gelation of silk fibroin. LSL is known to have multiple biological functionalities and hence hydrogels of these green molecules have promising applications in the biomedical sector. In this work, SANS, NMR, and rheology are employed to examine the assembling properties of individual and mixed SLs and their interactions with SF to understand the mechanism that leads to rapid gelation. SANS and NMR studies show that ASL assembles to form charged micelles, while LSL forms micellar assemblies and aggregates of a mass fractal nature. ASL and LSL together form larger mixed micelles, all of which interact differently with SF. It is shown that preferential binding of LSL to SF causes rapid unfolding of the SF chain leading to the formation of intermolecular beta sheets, which trigger fast gelation.

In this paper, we investigate the mechanism of gelation of Bornbyx mori SF by a model anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SOS). Even though interactions between SDS and proteins have been extensively investigated, most of these studies have focused on globular proteins, which undergo denaturation. The interaction with a fibrous protein such as SF is different and results in an altered secondary structure leading to gelation. In this work, the concentration-dependent gelation process of the SF-SDS system is examined using rheology, SANS, FTIR, and NMR. We observed preferential binding of SDS to specific regions on the SF chain, which aids structural changes favoring beta-sheet formation. We propose a mechanism for the accelerated sol-gel transition in the SF-SDS system.&lt;/p&gt;

Both these enzyme classes belong to the N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn)-hydrolase superfamily. Penicillin V acylases alongside bile salt hydrolases constitute the cholylglycine hydrolase (CGH) group of the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily. Here we report the ability of two acylases, Slac1 and Slac2, from the marine bacterium Shewanella loihica PV4 to hydrolyze AHLs. Three-dimensional structure of Slac1 reveals the conservation of the Ntn hydrolase fold and CGH active site, making it a unique CGH exclusively active on AHLs. Slac1homologs phylogenetically cluster separate from reported CGHs and AHL acylases, thereby representing a functionally distinct sub-class of CGH that might have evolved as an adaptation to the marine environment. We hypothesize that Slac1 could provide the structural framework for understanding this subclass, and further our understanding of the evolutionary link between AHL acylases and beta-lactam acylases.
