methylation site via mass spectrometry. Although weak inhibitors of CARM1, R1-1, -2, -3, and -4 are potent inhibitors of PRMT1 and PRMT6. These peptides are more potent against PRMT1 than product inhibitor peptides, showing that Nη-substituted arginylpeptides do not work by a purely product inhibitor mechanism. A trend of increasing potency with an increase in the number of fluorine atoms is observed

Abstract The biosynthesis of epoxypseudoisoeugenol-2-methylbutyrate (EPB), a rare phenylpropanoid of the genus Pimpinella , was investigated in vitro by means of a leaf-differentiating callus culture of Pimpinellaanisum . In an effort to corroborate an earlier proposed biosynthetic pathway of EPB, the step between p -coumaryl alcohol and ( E )-anethole was reinvestigated. Further feeding experiments
摘要 通过茴香叶片分化愈伤组织培养,体外研究了一种稀有的茴香属苯丙烷环氧假异丁香酚-2-甲基丁酸酯(EPB)的生物合成。为了证实早先提出的 EPB 生物合成途径,重新研究了对香豆醇和 (E)-茴香脑之间的步骤。用 14 C 标记的前体进行的进一步喂食实验和酶水平的初步研究清楚地表明,乙醇是 EPB 生物合成中必需的中间体,而不是之前声称的对甲氧基肉桂醇。S-腺苷-l-甲硫氨酸:醇-O-甲基转移酶是EPB生物合成中的关键酶,首次被证明和表征。

A little goes a long way: Various heteroatom substituents at the guanidine moiety of an arginine residue in an established substrate peptide can alter the protein arginine N‐methyltransferase (PRMT) activity toward it. Depending on the electrostatic nature of the substituent incorporated, PRMT activity toward the substrate peptide can be diminished, abolished, or, surprisingly, enhanced.
The UV-honey guides of Rudbeckia hirta were investigated by UV-photography, reflectance spectroscopy, LC-MS analysis and studies of the enzymes involved in the formation of the W-absorbing flavonols present in the petals. It was shown for the first time that the typical bull's eye pattern is already established at the early stages of flower anthesis on the front side of the petal surface, but is hidden to pollinators until the buds are open and the petals are unfolded. The rear side of the petals remains W-reflecting during the whole flower anthesis. Studies on the local distribution of 19 flavonols across the petals confirmed that the majority are concentrated in the basal part of the ray flower. However, in contrast to the earlier studies, eupatolitin 3-O-glucoside (6,7-dimethoxyquercetin 3-O-glucoside) was present in both the basal and apical parts of the petals, whereas eupatolin (6,7-dimethoxyquercetin 3-O-rhamnoside) was exclusively found in the apical parts. The enzymes involved in the formation of the flavonols in R. hirta were demonstrated for the first time. These include a rare flavonol 6-hydroxylase, which was identified as cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase and did not accept any methylated flavonol as substrate. All enzymes were present in the basal and apical parts of the petals, although some of them clearly showed higher activities in the basal part. This indicates that the local accumulation of flavonols in R. hirta is not achieved by a locally restricted presence of the enzymes involved in flavonol formation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
