Semisynthesis of a Bacterium with Non-canonical Cell-Wall Cross-Links
摘要:
The cell wall is an elaborate framework of peptidoglycan that serves to protect the bacterium against osmotic challenge. This exoskeleton is composed of repeating saccharides covalently cross-linked by peptide stems. The general structure of the cell wall is widely conserved across diverse Gram-negative bacteria. To begin to explore the biological consequence of introducing non-canonical cross-links into the cell wall of Escherichia coli, we generated a bacterium where up to 31% of the cell-wall cross-links are formed by a non-enzymatic reaction between a sulfonyl fluoride and an amino group. Bacteria with these noncanonical cell-wall cross-links achieve a high optical density in culture, divide and elongate successfully, and display no loss of outer membrane integrity. This work represents a first step in the design of bacteria with non-canonical "synthetic" cell walls.

Two homotyrosine-bearing cyanopeptolins are described from Planktothrix agardhii CYA 126/8. The compounds feature a common homotyrosine-containing cyclohexadepsipeptide and differ by sulfation of an exocyclically located 2-O-methyl-D-glyceric acid residue. In addition we describe two anabaenopeptins, which contain two homotyrosine residues, one of which is N-methylated. The anabaenopeptins have a common cyclopentapeptide portion and differ in the amino acid linked to it via an ureido bond, arginine and tyrosine, respectively.

(EN) There are disclosed certain novel compounds identified as spiro piperidines and homologs which promote the release of growth hormone in humans and animals. This property can be utilized to promote the growth of food animals to render the production of edible meat products more efficient, and in humans, to treat physiological or medical conditions characterized by a deficiency in growth hormone secretion, such as short stature in growth hormone deficient children, and to treat medical conditions which are improved by the anabolic effects of growth hormone. Growth hormone releasing compositions containing such spiro compounds as the active ingredient thereof are also disclosed.(FR) La découverte porte sur certains composés nouveaux identifiés comme étant des spiro pipéridines et leurs homologues qui favorisent la libération de l'hormone de croissance chez l'homme et chez l'animal. Cette propriété peut servir à favoriser la croissance d'animaux d'élevage pour augmenter le rendement de la production de produits carnés, et chez l'homme, à traiter des situations physiologiques ou médicales telles qu'une petite taille chez les enfants présentant un déficit en hormone de croissance, ou à traiter des situations médicales qui s'améliorent de par les effets anabolisants de l'hormone de croissance. La découverte porte aussi sur d'autres compositions dont de tels composés de type spiro sont le principe actif et qui agissent sur la libération de l'hormone de croissance.
Comparisons of O-acylation and Friedel–Crafts acylation of phenols and acyl chlorides and Fries rearrangement of phenyl esters in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid: effective synthesis of optically active homotyrosines
Reactions involving phenol derivatives and acyl chlorides have to be controlled for competitive O-acylations and C-acylations (Friedel–Crafts acylations and Fries rearrangements) in acidic condition. The extent for these reactions in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH), which is used as catalyst and solvent, is examined. Although diluted TfOH was needed for effective O-acylation, concentrated TfOH
