Fluorogenic Substrates for Visualizing Acidic Organelle Enzyme Activities
Lysosomes are acidic cytoplasmic organelles that are present in all nucleated mammalian cells and are involved in a variety of cellular processes including repair of the plasma membrane, defense against pathogens, cholesterol homeostasis, bone remodeling, metabolism, apoptosis and cell signaling. Defects in lysosomal enzyme activity have been associated with a variety of neurological diseases i...
متن کاملFluorogenic Peptide Substrate for Quantification of Bacterial Enzyme Activities
A novel peptide substrate (A G G P L G P P G P G G) was developed for quantifying the activities of bacterial enzymes using a highly sensitive Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) based assay. The peptide substrate was cleaved by collagenase class I, II, Liberase MTF C/T, collagenase NB1, and thermolysin/neutral protease, which was significantly enhanced in the presence of CaCl2. Howev...
متن کاملFluorogenic Substrates for Differentiation of Gram-Negative
A total of 803 strains of gram-negative nonfermentative and oxidase-positive fermentative bacteria (38 taxa) were investigated for their ability to hydrolyze 53 different fluorogenic 4-methylumbelliferyland 1-naphthylamide-linked substrates within 6 h of incubation. The hydrolysis of 16 fluorogenic substrates showed high separation index values among the tested taxa, was reproducible, and showe...
متن کاملNovel internally quenched fluorogenic substrates for angiotensin I-converting enzyme and carboxypeptidase Y.
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1) is one of the most important enzymes in the renin-angiotensin system, a major blood pressure control system in mammals. We synthesized novel internally quenched fluorogenic (IQF) substrates for ACE based on the cleavage site of an angiotensin I, introducing N-methyl anthranic acid (Nma) and N(ε)-2,4-dinitrophenyl-lysine (Lys(Dnp))at the N- and ...
متن کاملNew fluorogenic triacylglycerol analogs as substrates for the determination and chiral discrimination of lipase activities.
A new type of fluorogenic and isomerically pure 1(3)-O-alkyl-2,3 (3,2)-diacyl glycerols was synthesized that can be used as substrate for the determination of lipase activities. These compounds contain a fluorescent pyrene acyl chain and, as a potent quencher of pyrene fluorescence, a trinitrophenylamino acyl residue. In their intact form, the fluorogens show only low fluorescence intensity. Up...
