Abstract Squalene is a triterpenoid compound and widely used in various industries such as medicine and cosmetics due to its strong antioxidant and anticancer properties. The purpose of this study is to increase the accumulation of squalene in filamentous fungi using exogeneous butenafine hydrochloride, which is an inhibitor for squalene epoxidase. The detailed settings achieved that the filamentous fungi, Trichoderma virens PS1-7, produced squalene up to 429.93 ± 51.60 mg/L after culturing for 7 days in the medium consisted of potato infusion with glucose at pH 4.0, in the presence of 200 μM butenafine. On the other hand, no squalene accumulation was observed without butenafine. This result indicated that squalene was biosynthesized in the filamentous fungi PS1-7 which can be used as a novel source of squalene. In addition, we successfully obtained highly 13C-enriched squalene by using [U-13C6]-glucose as a carbon source replacing normal glucose. - Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Manami Hashinoki, Zeping Wang, Zhang Wen, Zhuang Zihan, Makoto HashimotoJournal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals 0362-4803 2023/06/19 [Refereed]

In materials (polymer) science and medicinal chemistry, heteroaromatic derivatives play the role of the central skeleton in development of novel devices and discovery of new drugs. On the other hand, (3-trifluoromethyl)phenyldiazirine (TPD) is a crucial chemical method for understanding biological processes such as ligand-receptor, nucleic acid-protein, lipid-protein, and protein-protein interactions. In particular, use of TPD has increased in recent materials science to create novel electric and polymer devices with comparative ease and reduced costs. Therefore, a combination of heteroaromatics and (3-trifluoromethyl)diazirine is a promising option for creating better materials and elucidating the unknown mechanisms of action of bioactive heteroaromatic compounds. In this review, a comprehensive synthesis of (3-trifluoromethyl)diazirine-substituted heteroaromatics is described. - Hitoshi Wakabayashi, Koji Sugiyama, Shinichi Suzuki, Yasuko Sakihama, Makoto Hashimoto, Martin J.

This review focuses on diaziridine, a high strained three-membered heterocycle with two nitrogen atoms that plays an important role as one of the most important precursors of diazirine photoaffinity probes, as well as their formation and transformation. Recent research trends can be grouped into three categories, based on whether they have examined non-substituted, N-monosubstituted, or N,N-disubstituted diaziridines. The discussion expands on the conventional methods for recent applications, the current spread of studies, and the unconventional synthesis approaches arising over the last decade of publications. - Makoto HashimotoBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry 85 (1) 194 - 195 2021/01/07 [Refereed][Invited]

Abstract Symbiosis of Penicillium rolfsii Y-1 is essential for the seed germination of Hawaii yellow-eyed grass (Xyris complanata). However, the local soil where the plants grow naturally often suppresses the radicle growth of the seedlings. This radicle growth was drastically restored by coinoculation of Paraburkholderia phenazinium isolate CK-PC1, which is a rhizobacterium of X. complanata. It was found that the isolate CK-PC1 produced phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA, 1) as a major metabolite. The biological effects of PCA (1) were investigated using the seeds of X. complanata and Mung bean (Vigna radiata) and it was uncovered that the symbiosis of the isolate CK-PC1was essential for the postgermination growth of X. complanata and the metabolite PCA (1) might partially contribute to promote the growth of the plants. - Manami Hashinoki, Natsumi Kurokawa, Yuta Murai, Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Yasuko Sakihama, Takeyuki Suzuki, Makoto HashimotoHETEROCYCLES 103 (1) 392 - 392 0385-5414 2021 [Refereed]

α-Amino acid chlorides are reactive coupling agents in amide (peptide) formation. The Vilsmeier reagent ((chloromethylene)dimethylammonium chloride) offers a convenient way to prepare α-amino acid chlorides for peptide synthesis. Its use with N-trifluoracetyl (TFA)-protected isoleucine and allo-isoleucine is described. The 1H-NMR of the α-proton signal offers a convenient way to monitor the chirality retention in the acid chloride forming reaction and subsequent Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes which result in α-amino acid aryl-ketone with no loss of chirality. - Tomoya Nakagita, Akiko Ishida, Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Lei Wang, Takumi Misaka, Makoto HashimotoMolecules (Basel, Switzerland) 25 (12) 2020/06/17 [Refereed][Not invited]
Lactisole, which has a 2-phenoxy propionic acid skeleton, is well-known as an inhibitor of sweet taste receptors. We recently revealed some of the structure-activity relationships of the aromatic ring and chiral center of lactisole. Photoaffinity labeling is one of the common chemical biology methods to elucidate the interaction between bioactive compounds and biomolecules. In this paper, the novel asymmetric synthesis of lactisole derivatives with common photophores (benzophenone, azide and trifluoromethyldiazirine) for photoaffinity labeling is described. The synthetic compounds are subjected to cell-based sweet taste receptors, and the substitution with trifluoromethyldiazirinyl photophore shows the highest affinity to the receptor of the synthesized compounds. - Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange of Histidine and Histamine with Deuterated Trifluoromethanesulfonic AcidZetryana Puteri Tachrim, Natsumi Kurokawa, Yurika Tokoro, Makoto HashimotoHETEROCYCLES 101 (1) 357 - 357 0385-5414 2020 [Refereed]

CycloDOPA (5,6-dihydroxy-indoline-2-carboxylic acid, leukodopachrome) is one of metabolites derived from tyrosine, one of intermediate in melanin formation (mammalian) and betanidin main skeleton (betalain pigment in plant). Synthesis of deuterated cyclodopa via hydrogen/deuterium exchange by utilization of deuterium chloride (DCl) and deuterated triflic acid (TfOD) are reported. The novel fully deuterated aromatic cycloDOPA derivative can be formed depending on temperature and time of H/D exchange condition. The complete study of H/D exchange resulted in the selective deuterium between 4- and/or 7-position of aromatic hydrogen of cycloDOPA. - Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Hiroaki Nishizuka, Manato Tanaka, Kanako Murata, Yuta Murai, Makoto HashimotoScientific reports 9 (1) 4751 - 4751 2019/03/18 [Refereed][Not invited]
Coralloid roots are specialized tissues of cycads (Cycas revoluta) that are involved in symbioses with nitrogen-fixing Nostoc cyanobacteria. We found that a crude methanolic extract of coralloid roots induced differentiation of the filamentous cell aggregates of Nostoc species into motile hormogonia. Hence, the hormogonium-inducing factor (HIF) was chased using bioassay-based isolation, and the active principle was characterized as a mixture of diacylglycerols (DAGs), mainly composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerol (1), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol (2), 1-stearoyl-2-linolenoyl-sn-glycerol (3), and 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerol (4). Enantioselectively synthesised compound 1 showed a clear HIF activity at 1 nmol (0.6 µg) disc-1 for the filamentous cells, whereas synthesised 2-linoleoyl-3-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (1') and 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-rac-glycerol (1/1') were less active than 1. Conversely, synthesised 1-linoleoyl-2-palmitoyl-rac-glycerol (8/8') which is an acyl positional isomer of compound 1 was inactive. In addition, neither 1-monoacylglycerols nor phospholipids structurally related to 1 showed HIF-like activities. As DAGs are protein kinase C (PKC) activators, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (12), urushiol C15:3-Δ10,13,16 (13), and a skin irritant anacardic acid C15:1-Δ8 (14) were also examined for HIF-like activities toward the Nostoc cells. Neither 12 nor 13 showed HIF-like activities, whereas 14 showed an HIF-like activity at 1 nmol/disc. These findings appear to indicate that some DAGs act as hormogonium-inducing signal molecules for filamentous Nostoc cyanobacteria. - Makoto HashimotoReference Module in Chemistry, Molecular Sciences and Chemical Engineering 2019 [Refereed][Invited]

Lactisole, an inhibitor of the human sweet taste receptor, has a 2-phenoxypropionic acid skeleton and has been shown to interact with the transmembrane domain of the T1R3 subunit (T1R3-TMD) of the receptor. Another inhibitor, 2,4-DP, which shares the same molecular skeleton as lactisole, was confirmed to be approximately 10-fold more potent in its inhibitory activity than lactisole; however the structural basis of their inhibitory mechanisms against the receptor remains to be elucidated. Crystal structures of the TMD of metabotropic glutamate receptors, which along with T1Rs are categorized as class C G-protein coupled receptors, have recently been reported and made it possible to create an accurate structural model for T1R3-TMD. In this study, the detailed structural mechanism underlying sweet taste inhibition was characterized by comparing the action of lactisole on T1R3-TMD with that of 2,4-DP. We first performed a series of experiments using cultured cells expressing the sweet taste receptor with mutations and examined the interactions with these inhibitors. Based on the results, we next performed docking simulations and then applied molecular dynamics-based energy minimization. Our analyses clearly revealed that the (S)-isomers of both lactisole and 2,4-DP, interacted with the same seven residues in T1R3-TMD and that the inhibitory potencies of those inhibitors were mainly due to stabilizing interactions mediated via their carboxyl groups in the vertical dimension of the ligand pocket of T1R3-TMD. In addition, 2,4-DP engaged in a hydrophobic interaction mediated by its o-Cl group, and this interaction may be chiefly responsible for the higher inhibitory potency of 2,4-DP. - Kurokawa, Natsumi, Tokoro, Yurika, Tachrim, Zetryana Puteri, Wakasa, Haruna, Sakihama, Yasuko, Hashidoko, Yasuyuki, Hashimoto, MakotoARKIVOC (5) 42 - 49 1551-7004 2019 [Refereed][Not invited]
A chiral N-protected alpha-amino acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (OSu) is a common useful reagent for peptide bond formation. Recently, N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA) alpha-amino acid OSu esters have been reported as acyl donors for Frieldel-Crafts reactions to synthesize chiral alpha-amino phenyl ketones retaining the configurations of the starting alpha-amino acids. There are few reports for chiral TFA protected methionine, which has methylthioethyl structure in the side-chain of the alpha-amino acid. The detailed synthesis of chiral TFA-Met-OSu and its application as an acyl donor for Friedel-Crafts acylation is reported.[GRAPHICS]. - Tachrim, Zetryana Puteri, Oida, Kazuhiro, Ohashi, Fumina, Wakasa, Haruna, Ikemoto, Haruka, Kurokawa, Natsumi, Sakihama, Yasuko, Hashidoko, Yasuyuki, Suzuki, Takeyuki, Hashimoto, MakotoHETEROCYCLES 97 (2) 877 - 893 0385-5414 2018/09 [Refereed][Not invited]
The utilization of N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA)-alpha-amino acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (OSu) derivatives, a promising acylating agent with high storage stability, is reported for Friedel Crafts acylation into arenes and N-heterocycles. The reaction between TFA-Phe-OSu derivatives and arenes afforded inter- and intramolecular products. TFA-Tyr-OSu derivatives, which possess hydroxyl substituent in the aromatic moiety of phenylalanine, afforded only intermolecular product with benzene. The heterocyclic TFA-Pro-OSu also shows relatively high reactivity toward acylation. - Tachrim, Zetryana Puteri, Nakamura, Tadashi, Sakihama, Yasuko, Hashidoko, Yasuyuki, Hashimoto, MakotoARKIVOC (7) 341 - 348 1551-7004 2018 [Refereed][Not invited]
1-kestose (O-B-D-fructofuranosyl-(2 -> 1)-B-D-fructofuranosyl-(2 -> 1)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside) is a potential short chain fructooligosaccharide with an inulin-type skeleton. Halogenation of 1-kestose was conducted via the Appel reaction with the use of carbon tetrahalide (CBr4 or CCI4) and triphenylphosphine, which was then followed by conventional acetylation. The per-O-acetylated form of 6,6',6 ''-trihalogenated derivatives of 1-kestose were conveniently isolated. Further deprotection of the per-O-acetylated form resulted in 6-, 6'-, and 6 ''-trihalogenated derivatives. The structure elucidation by one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance established that halogenations are specific at the 6-, 6'-, and 6 ''-position of 1-kestose primary alcohols.[GRAPHICS]. - Lei Wang, Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Natsumi Kurokawa, Fumina Ohashi, Haruna Wakasa, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Takeyuki Suzuki, Makoto HashimotoARKIVOC (7) 58 - 65 1551-7004 2018 [Refereed][Not invited]
Sucrose is well known as naturally occurring sweeteners. Photoreactive sucrose derivative containing 3-(trifluoromethyl)diazirinyl moiety is designed for photoaffinity labeling.

© 2018 by the authors. CycloDOPA (leukodopachrome), a well known metabolite of tyrosine, is a precursor of melanine in mammalian organisms and of the pigment betalain in plants. However, the isolation of cycloDOPA from natural sources has not been widely reported. In the present work, the stabilities of cycloDOPA and cycloDOPA methyl ester at various pH levels were studied. Both compounds were stable under acidic conditions. By contrast, both compounds were unstable when the pH was shifted from neutral to basic to form indole derivatives as major products. Based on the pH stability, cycloDOPA and its derivatives were subjected to the DPPH radical scavenging assay for the first time. - Tachrim, Zetryana Puteri, Oida, Kazuhiro, Ikemoto, Haruka, Ohashi, Fumina, Kurokawa, Natsumi, Hayashi, Kento, Shikanai, Mami, Sakihama, Yasuko, Hashidoko, Yasuyuki, Hashimoto, MakotoMOLECULES 22 (10) 1748 1420-3049 2017/10 [Refereed][Not invited]
Chiral N-protected alpha-amino aryl-ketones are one of the useful precursors used in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds and can be constructed via Friedel-Crafts acylation of N-protected alpha-amino acids. One of the drawbacks of this reaction is the utilization of toxic, corrosive and moisture-sensitive acylating reagents. In peptide construction via amide bond formation, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (OSu), which has high storage stability, can react rapidly with amino components and produces fewer side reactions, including racemization. This study reports the first synthesis and utilization of N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA)-protected alpha-amino acid-OSu as a potential acyl donor for Friedel-Crafts acylation into various arenes. The TFA-protected isoleucine derivative and its diastereomer TFA-protected allo-isoleucine derivative were investigated to check the retention of alpha-proton chirality in the Friedel-Crafts reaction. Further utilization of OSu in other branched-chain and unbranched-chain amino acids results in an adequate yield of TFA-protected alpha-amino aryl-ketone without loss of optical purity. - Takuma Yoshida, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoCHEMICAL SENSES 42 (8) E1 - E1 0379-864X 2017/10 [Refereed][Not invited]

The technique of photoaffinity labeling has become increasingly appreciated as a powerful methodology for post-genome field because it is one of the attractive methods to elucidate the interactions between bioactive ligand and biomolecule. The combinations with detection and isolation methods are essential to identify photolabeled components. There are several methods to introduce detection and isolation methods, which are so-called "tag," for photolabeled components from the photoaffinity label mixture. High detection limits of tag enable us to identify the photolabeled components. The introduction of detection and isolation tags in the ligand skeleton is one of the ways to archive identification of photolabeled components because the labeled components have been only introduced the tag. On the other hands, the specific biological interactions for target biomolecules are also utilized to identify photolabeled components. The chapter summarized that the several combinations of photoaffinity labeling and "tag" to study labeled components effectively. - Yuta Murai, Lei Wang, Makoto HashimotoPhotoaffinity Labeling for Structural Probing Within Protein 111 - 128 2017/09/25 [Refereed][Not invited]
As photophores in photoaffinity labeling, three major types, arylazide, benzophenone, and diazirine have been used and contributed to the understanding of molecular biology processes. In particular, diazrine is a significantly useful photophore because it has some advantages such as its relatively small size, stability, low rate of rearrangement, and generating a high reactive carbene with longer wavelength which reduces damage to the target molecules. Nevertheless, despite these many advantages in diazirine, there are reports in which arylazide and benzophenone are generally utilized for photoaffinity labeling compared with diazirine due to its synthetic difficulty onto ligands. To overcome this problem, recently many researchers have addressed to establish the efficient synthetic route of diazirinyl compounds. Particularly, a-aromatic amino acids possess not only biological activities themselves but also basic component of protein (bioactive peptide). In addition, a number of heterocyclic bioactive compounds have variety of attractive biological activities. Therefore, their diazirinyl compounds promise the molecular biology processes. In this chapter, firstly, it is demonstrated the simple and efficient preparation of diazirine on aromatics and aliphatic chains. Furthermore post-functional derivatization of them is also described to diversify bioactive compounds. - Lei Wang, Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Natsumi Kurokawa, Fumina Ohashi, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoMOLECULES 22 (8) 1389 1420-3049 2017/08 [Refereed][Not invited]
Aliphatic diazirines have been widely used as prominent photophores for photoaffinity labeling owing to their relatively small size which can reduce the steric effect on the natural interaction between ligands and proteins. Based on our continuous efforts to develop efficient methods for the synthesis of aliphatic diazirines, we present here a comprehensive study about base-mediated one-pot synthesis of aliphatic diazirines. It was found that potassium hydroxide (KOH) can also promote the construction of aliphatic diazirine with good efficiency. Importantly, KOH is cheaper, highly available, and easily handled and stored compared with the previously used base, potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK). Gram-scale study showed that it owned great advantages in being used for the large-scale production of aliphatic diazirines. This protocol is highly neat and the desired products can be easily isolated and purified. As the first comprehensive study of the base-mediated one-pot synthesis of aliphatic diazirines, this work provided good insight into the preparation and utilization of diazirine-based photoaffinity labeling probes. - Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Lei Wang, Yuta Murai, Takuma Yoshida, Natsumi Kurokawa, Fumina Ohashi, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoCATALYSTS 7 (2) 40 2073-4344 2017/02 [Refereed][Not invited]

A novel strategy for the dehydrogenation of the NH-NH bond is disclosed using potassium tert-butoxide (tBuOK) in liquid ammonia (NH3) under air at room temperature. Its synthetic value is well demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of aromatic azo compounds (up to 100% yield, 3 min), heterocyclic azo compounds, and dehydrazination of phenylhydrazine.

A cosolvent-promoted O-benzylation strategy with Ag2O was developed. The cosolvent consisting of CH2Cl2 and n-hexane can not only improve the reaction solubility for carbohydrates but also increase the benzylation efficiency. The formation of byproducts is greatly inhibited in the developed method. This method is simple, mild, and highly effective, and numerous 1'-benzylated sucrose derivatives were prepared including a photoreactive (trifluoromethyl)phenyldiazirine-based sucrose. The mechanisms of benzylation with primary and secondary benzyl bromides were also elaborated. Furthermore, the application scope with alcohols, glucose, and ribose derivatives was investigated. - Mengcen Wang, Seiji Tachibana, Yuta Murai, Li Li, Sharon Yu Ling Lau, Mengchao Cao, Guonian Zhu, Makoto Hashimoto, Yasuyuki HashidokoSCIENTIFIC REPORTS 6 2045-2322 2016/05 [Refereed][Not invited]

5-Nitro-2-propoxyaniline is one of the strongest artificial sweeteners. However, little is known about the detailed relationship of the structure and biological activity between 5-nitro-2-propoxyaniline and its sweet receptor.

Burkholderia heleia PAK1-2 is a potent biocontrol agent isolated from rice rhizosphere, as it prevents bacterial rice seedling blight disease caused by Burkholderia plantarii. Here, we isolated a non-antibacterial metabolite from the culture fluid of B. heleia PAK1-2 that was able to suppress B. plantarii virulence and subsequently identified as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). IAA suppressed the production of tropolone in B. plantarii in a dose-dependent manner without any antibacterial and quorum quenching activity, suggesting that IAA inhibited steps of tropolone biosynthesis. Consistent with this, supplementing cultures of B. plantarii with either L-[ring-H-2(5)] phenylalanine or [ring-H-2(2-5)]phenylacetic acid revealed that phenylacetic acid (PAA), which is the dominant metabolite during the early growth stage, is a direct precursor of tropolone. Exposure of B. plantarii to IAA suppressed production of both PAA and tropolone. These data particularly showed that IAA produced by B. heleia PAK1-2 disrupts tropolone production during bioconversion of PAA to tropolone via the ring-rearrangement on the phenyl group of the precursor to attenuate the virulence of B. plantarii. B. heleia PAK1-2 is thus likely a microbial community coordinating bacterium in rhizosphere ecosystems, which never eliminates phytopathogens but only represses production of phytotoxins or bacteriocidal substances. - Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Lei Wang, Takuma Yoshida, Miho Muto, Tadashi Nakamura, Katsuyoshi Masuda, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoCHEMISTRYSELECT 1 (1) 58 - 63 2365-6549 2016/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
Regioselective halogenations of sucrose primary alcohols can simplify the synthesis of carbohydrate-based products. The Appel reaction, using carbon tetrahalide (CBr4 or CCl4) and triphenylphosphine, offers efficient conversion of primary hydroxyl groups to halide. Previous halogenation of sucrose with limited amounts of Appel reagent gave obscure result-regarding the halogenation selectivity of sucrose primary alcohols at 6-and 6'-position. Within careful purification of its per-O-acetylated form, re-subjection of sucrose into Appel reaction resulted in two mono-and one dihalogenated products only at 6-and/or 6'-position. Extensive NMR analyses support the revision of previous literature's assignments. Comprehensive analysis of each monohalogenated sucrose at the primary position, including the first reported 1'-monohalogenated sucrose derivatives synthesis via regioselective enzymic deacetylation, provided halogenation of sucrose primary alcohols by the Appel reaction followed the order of 6> 6'>> 1'. - Yoshida Takuma, Hashidoko Yasuyuki, Hashimoto MakotoThe Japanese Journal of Taste and Smell Research 日本味と匂学会 22 (3) 249 - 252 1340-4806 2015/12 [Not refereed][Not invited]

Saccharin is one of the most common artificial sweeteners that has a bitter taste at high concentrations. Currently, there are no detailed functional analyses of these gustatory receptors.

Salicin (salicyl alcohol glucoside) is a substance well known for its bitter taste. A photoreactive diazirinyl derivative of salicin will be utilized for the functional analysis of interactions between the bitter taste receptor and salicin. Glucosides of salicyl derivatives are more difficult than phenol derivatives that are unsubstituted at the ortho-position. A diazirinyl salicin derivative was synthesized at moderate yields by glucosidation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide and 2-hydroxy-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]benzaldehyde in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst, nBuEt(3)NBr, followed by reduction and deprotection. - Lei Wang, Yuta Murai, Takuma Yoshida, Masashi Okamoto, Katsuyoshi Masuda, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Yasumaru Hatanaka, Makoto HashimotoBIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 78 (7) 1129 - 1134 0916-8451 2014/07 [Refereed][Not invited]
In this paper we report here a hydrogen/deuterium exchange (H/D exchange) of cross-linkable alpha-amino acid derivatives with deuterated trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOD). H/D exchange with TfOD was easily applied to o-catechol containing phenylalanine (DOPA) within an hour. A partial H/D exchange was observed for trifluoromethyldiazirinyl (TFMD) phenylalanine derivatives. N-Acetyl-protected natural aromatic alpha-amino acids (Tyr and Trp) were more effective in H/D exchange than unprotected ones. The N-acetylated TFMD phenylalanine derivative afforded slightly higher H/D exchange than unprotected derivatives. An effective post-deuteration method for cross-linkable alpha-amino acid derivatives will be useful for the analysis of biological functions of bioactive peptides and proteins by mass spectrometry. - Lei Wang, Yuta Murai, Takuma Yoshida, Masashi Okamoto, Zetryana Puteri Tachrim, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoMOLECULES 19 (5) 6349 - 6367 1420-3049 2014/05 [Refereed][Not invited]
Aryl-keto-containing alpha-amino acids are of great importance in organic chemistry and biochemistry. They are valuable intermediates for the construction of hydroxyl alpha-amino acids, nonproteinogenic alpha-amino acids, as well as other biofunctional components.

Photoaffinity labeling is one of the favorite methods for chemical biology. The first step in this method is the construction of photophores and their modification to the associated high affinity target ligand. alpha-Amino acids have biological activities themselves and are fundamental component of peptides and protein. The photoreactive aromatic alpha-amino acids are useful for investigation of biological phenomenon. Although synthesis of photoreactive phenylalanine analogues has already been reported, there have been few reports of the synthesis of photoreactive tryptophan and side-chain elongated phenylalanine. We report here the effective photoreactive tryptophan and side-chain elongated phenylalanine derivatives. Furthermore, we report the mild and controllable hydrogen-deuterium exchange for aromatic hydrogen with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-d during the course of the synthesis of side-chain elongated phenylalanine. These hydrogen-deuterium exchange properties for these aromatic alpha-amino acids are identical to those of the peptides. With this method the exchange proceeds significantly faster than previously described methods. Detail analysis of the exchange revealed that the method was controllable by temperature-, time-, and dose- dependent manner. - Lei Wang, Takuma Yoshida, Masashi Okamoto, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoMolBank 2014 (1) M816 1422-8599 2014/02/24 [Refereed][Not invited]

Photoreactive phenylalanine derivatives are well known as functional analysis reagents for target biomolecules. The photophores are commonly introduced at 4-position on benzene. Aspartame, which consists of dipeptide L-Asp-L-Phe-OMe, is one of the most utilized artificial sweeteners, and substitution effects on its benzene ring have been reported. Substitution at the 4-position, however, does not maintain its sweetness properties. Trifluoromethyldiazirine, which is one of the most reliable photophores, was introduced to a different site on phenylalanine and the new photoreactive phenylalanine was converted to aspartame derivatives. The new aspartame derivative had slightly higher sweetness potency than sucrose standard solution. - Mengcen Wang, Makoto Hashimoto, Yasuyuki HashidokoPLOS ONE 8 (11) 1932-6203 2013/11 [Refereed][Not invited]
Background: The tropolone-tolerant Trichoderma virens PS1-7 is a biocontrol agent against Burkholderia plantarii, causative of rice seedling blight. When exposed to catechol, this fungus dose-dependently produced carot-4-en-9,10-diol,a sesquiterpene-type autoregulatory signal molecule that promotes self-conidiation of T. virens PS1-7 mycelia. It was, however, uncertain why T. virens PS1-7 attenuates the symptom development of the rice seedlings infested with B. plantarii. Methodology/Principal Findings: To reveal the antagonism by T. virens PS1-7 against B. plantarii leading to repression of tropolone production in a coculture system, bioassay-guided screening for active compounds from a 3-d culture of T. virens PS1-7 was conducted. As a result, carot-4-en-9,10-diol was identified and found to repress tropolone production of B. plantarii from 10 to 200 mu M in a dose-dependent manner as well as attenuate virulence of B. plantarii on rice seedlings. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that transcriptional suppression of N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone synthase plaI in B. plantarii was the main mode of action by which carot-4-en-9,10-diol mediated the quorum quenching responsible for repression of tropolone production. In addition, the unique response of B. plantarii to carot-4-en-9,10-diol in the biofilm formed in the static culture system was also found. Although the initial stage of B. plantarii biofilm formation was induced by both tropolone and carot-4-en-9,10-diol, it was induced in different states. Moreover, the B. plantarii biofilm that was induced by carot-4-en-9,10-diol at the late stage showed defects not only in matrix structure but also cell viability. Conclusions/Significance: Our findings demonstrate that carot-4-en-9,10-diol released by T. virens PS1-7 acts as an interkingdom cell-to-cell signaling molecule against B. plantarii to repress tropolone production and induces pseudo-biofilm to the cells. This observation also led to another discovery that tropolone is an autoregulatory cell-to-cell signaling molecule of B. plantarii that induces a functional biofilm other than a simple B. plantarii virulence factor. - Yuta Murai, Lei Wang, Yasuyuki Muto, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Yasumaru Hatanaka, Makoto HashimotoHETEROCYCLES 87 (10) 2119 - 2126 0385-5414 2013/10 [Refereed][Not invited]
Simple and stereocontrolled preparation of benzoylated phenylalanine derivatives from optically pure phenylalanine using Friedel-Crafts reaction in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) is reported; these derivatives are useful for photoaffinity labeling.

Photoaffinity labeling is a reliable analytical method for biological functional analysis. Three major photophores-aryl azide, benzophenone and trifluoromethyldiazirine-are utilized in analysis. Photophore-bearing L-phenylalanine derivatives, which are used for biological functional analysis, were inoculated into a Klebsiella sp. isolated from the rhizosphere of a wild dipterocarp sapling in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, under nitrogen-limiting conditions. The proportions of metabolites were quite distinct for each photophore. These results indicated that photophores affected substrate recognition in rhizobacterial metabolic pathways, and differential photoaffinity labeling could be achieved using different photophore-containing L-phenylalanine derivatives. - Yuta Murai, Katsuyoshi Masuda, Yui Ogasawara, Lei Wang, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Yasumaru Hatanaka, So Iwata, Takuya Kobayashi, Makoto HashimotoEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry 2013 (12) 2428 - 2433 1434-193X 2013/04 [Refereed][Not invited]
2-Phenylethylamine is well known as a substructure of many biologically active compounds, and the synthesis of its photoreactive derivatives to allow the analysis of biological functions is reported. This allowed us to synthesise ligands for adenosine receptors, which have many functional roles in biology and have been extensively studied for their many roles in maintaining homeostasis. Adenosine is one of the most common biochemical compounds, but photoaffinity labeling has not yet been used to study adenosine receptors. Synthetic methods for producing photoreactive adenosine derivatives that can be used with adenosine receptors were established for the photophores phenyl azide and benzophenone.

To screen biocontrol agents against Burkholderia plantarii, the causative agent of rice seedling blight, we employed catechol, an analog of the virulence factor tropolone, to obtain chemical stress-resistant microorganisms. The fungal isolate PS1-7, identified as a strain of Trichoderma virens, showed the highest resistance to catechol (20 mM) and exhibited efficacy as a biocontrol agent for rice seedling blight. During investigation of metabolic traits of T. virens PS1-7 exposed to catechol, we found a secondary metabolite that was released extracellularly and uniquely accumulated in the culture. The compound induced by chemical stress due to catechol was subsequently isolated and identified as a sesquiterpene diol, carot-4-en-9,10-diol, based on spectroscopic analyses. T. virens PS1-7 produced carot-4-en-9,10-diol as a metabolic response to tropolone at concentrations from 0.05 to 0.2 mM, and the response was enhanced in a dose-dependent manner, similar to its response to catechol at concentrations from 0.1 to 1 mM. Some iron chelators, such as pyrogallol, gallic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid, at 0.5mM also showed activation of T. virens PS1-7 production of carot-4-en-9,10-diol. This sesquiterpene diol, formed in response to chemical stress, promoted conidiation of T. virens PS1-7, suggesting that it is involved in an autoregulatory signaling system. In a bioassay of the metabolic and morphological responses of T. virens PS1-7, conidiation in hyphae grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates was either promoted or induced by carot-4-en-9,10-diol. Carot-4-en-9,10-diol can thus be regarded as an autoregulatory signal in T. virens, and our findings demonstrate that intrinsic intracellular signaling regulates conidiation of T. virens. - Yuta Murai, Lei Wang, Katsuyoshi Masuda, Yasuko Sakihama, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Yasumaru Hatanaka, Makoto HashimotoEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry 2013 (23) 5111 - 5116 1434-193X 2013 [Refereed][Not invited]
Novel hydrogen/deuterium exchange for aromatic α-amino acids and their corresponding peptides were performed through the use of deuterated trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOD). Detailed analysis of the exchange revealed that equal hydrogen/deuterium exchange was observed for phenylalanine, and specific exchange at the ortho-positions of phenol for tyrosine was also detected. The stereochemistry of the aromatic α-amino acids was retained under the exchange conditions. The hydrogen/deuterium exchange properties for these aromatic α-amino acids are identical for peptides that contain several aromatic α-amino acids. The exchange proceeded significantly faster than previous methods. Detailed analysis of the exchange revealed that the method could be controlled by temperature, time, and the amount of reagent. Deuterated trifluoromethanesulfonic acid promotes rapid and controllable hydrogen/deuterium exchange on aromatic rings of α-amino acids and peptides at room temperature and below. The deuterium incorporation depends on the amount of reagent, the temperature, and the time-scale of the reaction. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Two major betalains, red-purple betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins, were isolated from red beetroots (Beta vulgaris L.), and their peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) scavenging capacity was investigated. Apparent colours of the betalains were bleached by the addition of ONOO(-), and the absorbance decreases were suppressed in the presence of glutathione, a ONOO(-) scavenger. After bleaching, a new absorption maximum was observed at 350 nm in the spectrum of the resulting reaction mixture. New peaks were detected from HPLC analysis of the reaction products of betanin, a representative constituent of red beetroot betacyanins, treated with ONOO(-) monitoring at 350 nm, and the intensity of the major peak was positively correlated with ONOO(-) concentration. Betanin inhibited the ONOO(-) (0.5 mM)-dependent nitration of tyrosine (0.1 mM). Additionally, the IC(50) value of betanin (19.2 mu M) was lower than that of ascorbate (79.6 mu M). The presence of betanin (0.05-1.0 mM) also inhibited ONOO(-) (0.5 mM)-dependent DNA strand cleavage in a concentration -dependent manner. These results suggest that betalains can protect cells from nitrosative stress in addition to protecting them from oxidative stresses. - Yuta Murai, Yasuyuki Hashidoko, Makoto HashimotoBIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 75 (2) 352 - 354 0916-8451 2011/02 [Refereed][Not invited]

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 was required for effective C-acylations in mild condition. These results have been applied to the novel synthesis of homotyrosine derivatives. Both Fries rearrangement of N-TFA-Asp(OBn)-OMe and Friedel-Crafts acylation of phenol with N-TFA Asp(Cl)-OMe in TfOH afforded the homotyrosine skeleton, followed by reduction and deprotection afforded homotyrosines maintaining stereochemistry of Asp as an optically pure form.

Bacterial sialyltransferases (STs) from marine sources were characterized using glycosphingolipids (GSLs). Bacterial STs were found to be beta-galacotoside STs. There were two types of STs: (1) ST obtained from strains such as ishi-224, 05JTC1 (#1), ishi-467, 05JTD2 (#2), and faj-16, 05JTE1 (#3), which form alpha 2-3 sialic acid (Sia) linkages, named alpha 2-3ST, (2) ST obtained from strains such as ISH-224, N1C0 (#4), pda-rec, 05JTB2 (#5), and pda-0160, 05JTA2 (#6), which form alpha 2-6 Sia linkages, named alpha 2-6ST. All STs showed affinity to neolacto- and lacto-series GSLs, particularly in neolactotetraosyl ceramide (nLc(4)Cer). No large differences were observed in the pH and temperature profiles of enzyme activities. Kinetic parameters obtained by Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis showed that #3 and #4 STs had practical synthetic activity and thus it became easily possible to achieve large-scale ganglioside synthesis (100-300 mu M) using these recombinant enzymes. Gangliosides synthesized from nLc(4)Cer by alpha 2-3 and alpha 2-6STs were structurally characterized by several analytical and immunological methods, and they were identified as IV(3)alpha NeuAc-nLc(4)Cer(S2-3PG) and IV(6)alpha NeuAc-nLc(4)Cer (S2-6PG), respectively. Further characterization of these STs using lactotetraosylceramide (Lc(4)Cer), neolactohexaosylceramide (i antigen), and IV(6)kladoLc(8)Cer (I antigen) showed the synthesis of corresponding gangliosides as well. Synthesized gangliosides showed binding activity to the influenza A virus [A/panama/2007/99 (H3N2)] at a similar level to purified S2-3PG and S2-6PG from mammalian sources. The above evidence suggests that these STs have unique features, including substrate specificities restricted to lacto- and neolactoseries GSLs, as well as catalytic potentials for ganglioside synthesis. This demonstrates that efficient in vitro ganglioside synthesis could be a valuable tool for selectively synthesizing Sias modifications, thereby permitting the exploration of unknown functions. - Katsuyoshi Masuda, Ayako Koizumi, Takumi Misaka, Yasumaru Hatanaka, Keiko Abe, Takaharu Tanaka, Masaji Ishiguro, Makoto HashimotoBIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 20 (3) 1081 - 1083 0960-894X 2010/02 [Refereed][Not invited]

Larixol and abietic acid represented more than 50% of the diterpene content in L. gmelinii var. japonica and L. kaempferi, respectively. Larixol and abietic acid were the predominant diterpene components in the F-1, and the proportions of these diterpenes were between those of the parental species. Therefore, the diterpene compositions in the F-1 were hereditarily infl uenced by their parents. The ratios of labdane, pimarane, and abietane diterpenes suggested that the main diterpene biosynthesis pathway in L. gmelinii var. japonica was from copalyl diphosphate (CDP) to labdane-type diterpenes, and that in L. kaempferi was from CDP to abietane-type diterpenes via pimarane type. Furthermore, linear discriminant analysis suggested that the diterpene contents are effective indices for the discrimination of the hybrid seedlings. - Makoto Hashimoto, Miho TakahashiHETEROCYCLES 77 (1) 227 - 231 0385-5414 2009/01 [Refereed][Not invited]

The structurally unique glucosinolate (GSL), 4-(cystein-S-yl)butyl GSL, was identified in the leaves of hydroponically-grown rocket salad (Eruca sativa Mill.). Its electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)/MS spectrum indicated that this unusual GSL had a molecular weight of 414 as a desulfo (DS)-GSL, and a molecular formula of C14H25N2O8S2 based on its negative ion matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) spectrum. For further confirmation, the 4-(cystein-S-yl)butyl DS-GSL was prepared with authentic L-Ser and purified dimeric 4-mercaptobutyl DS-GSL, and its chemical structure then confirmed by ESI-MS/MS data. It is named "glucorucolamine" as a trivial name from its ammonia sensitivity. This unique GSL was found to the greatest extent when rocket salad was grown in a 100% NH4+-N nutrient solution. Despite it clearly seems to reduce the detoxification of excess NH4+ in the leaves of rocket salad, present knowledge about the unique GSL is still far from being sufficient. - Leily Tjandrawaskitasari, Rie Hata, Hanarni Chiba, Makoto Hashinioto, Kosaku Takahashi, Kensuke NabetaNATURAL PRODUCT COMMUNICATIONS 2 (6) 663 - 670 1934-578X 2007 [Refereed][Not invited]
Peroxidase secretion and activity in the oxidation of polyphenols bisphenol A (BPA, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane) and lignin model compound (LMC, guaiacylglycerol-beta-gualacylether) were observed in a suspension cell culture of liverwort Heteroscyphus planus. When BPA was co-incubated in a suspension cell culture of liverwort for 5 days, it was depleted by approximately 63%. Oxidation of BPA was observed in culture filtrates of liverwort, and most of the oxidation products were insoluble higher molecular-weight compounds (30%). The oxidative degradation products of BPA and LMC were analyzed by GC-MS and were identified by comparing their retention time and MS spectra with those of the authentic compounds. BPA was degraded to 4-isopropenylphenol and p-hydroxyacetophenone. The formation of these products was examined using [H-1(14)]-BPA. The lignin model compound was degraded to guaiacol, vanillin, coniferyl alcohol and ferulic acid. Biphenyl dehydrodimer was detected in both the reaction mixtures of the suspension cell culture and the culture filtrates incubated with the LMC. The dimer was identified as 1, l'-(4,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-5,5'-biphenylene)- bis[8-(2 ''-methoxyphenoxy)-7,9propanediol] by 1D and 2D NMR analysis. The activity of secreted peroxidase in the suspension cell culture (0.045 U/mL) was slightly enhanced by addition of LMC (0.059 U/mL), p-cresol (0.064 U/mL), and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (0.082 U/mL) 7 days after the beginning of incubation. - Makoto Hashimoto, Yasumaru HatanakaBIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 16 (23) 5998 - 6000 0960-894X 2006/12 [Refereed][Not invited]

Anthocyanins from various vegetables and fruits have antioxidant activities, however, the bioactivities of coloured potato anthocyanins are not well studied. We examined the antioxidant capacities of pigmented fractions from purple potato flakes in vitro, and the antioxidant potentials of purple potato flakes in vivo. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of the pigmented fraction from Hokkai no. 92 (H92) potato flakes was higher than that from Kitamurasaki (KM) potato flakes. Extracts equivalent to 600 mu g pigmented fractions from KM and H92 potato flakes inhibited linoleic acid oxidation in the order trolox > H92 >= KM > control. Rats were fed 25 % KM or H92 potato flake diets for 4 weeks. The major anthocyanin was identified as petanin. Control rats were fed a diet with cornstarch instead of potato flakes for 4 weeks. The serum antioxidant potential level in the H92 group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The degree of hepatic lipid peroxidation in the H92 group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Hepatic Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), Mn-SOD and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) mRNA levels in the H92 group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Similar significant differences in Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD mRNA levels between the KM and control groups were found. The present results suggest that purple potato flakes have antioxidant functions with regard to radical scavenging activity and inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation, and that they improve the antioxidant potentials in rats by enhancing hepatic Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD and GSH-Px mRNA expression. - Hiroyuki Nakashima, Makoto Hashimoto, Yutaka Sadakane, Takenori Tomohiro, Yasumaru HatanakaJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 128 (47) 15092 - 15093 0002-7863 2006/11 [Refereed][Not invited]

We investigated the hepatoprotective effect of purple potato extract (PPE) agalNst D-galactosamine (galN)-induced liver injury in rats. PPE (400 mg) was administered once daily for 8 d, and then galN (250 mg/kg of body weight) was injected at 22 h before the rats were killed. Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and asparate aminotranferase (AST) levels increased significantly after injection of galN, but PPE inhibited GalN-induced alterations in serum TNF-a, LDH, ALT, and AST levels. Hepatic lipid peroxide and glutathione levels in the control + galN group were higher and lower respectively than those in the control group, and those in the PPE + galN group did not differ from that in the control group. The lipid peroxide level in hepatic microsomes treated with 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride in the PPE group was significantly lower than that in the control group. This suggests that PPE has hepatoprotective effects agalNst GalN-induced hepatotoxicity via inhibition lipid peroxidation and/or inflammation in rats. - M Hashimoto, Y Kato, Y HatanakaTETRAHEDRON LETTERS 47 (20) 3391 - 3394 0040-4039 2006/05 [Refereed][Not invited]

An efficient method of photoaffinity labeling has been developed based on rationally designed multifunctional photoprobes. Photoaffinity techniques have been used to elucidate the protein structure at the interface of biomolecules by the photochemical labeling of interacting sites. However, the identification of labeled sites within target proteins is often difficult. Novel biotinyl bioprobes bearing a diazirine photophore have contributed significantly to the rapid elucidation of ligand binding sites within proteins, thereby extending conventional phoroaffinity methods. This article discusses the synthesis and applications of various photoprobes bearing a biotin, including strategies using cleavable linkages between photophores. The combination of photoaffinity methods with chip technology is also described as a novel entry to rapid affinity-based screening of inhibitors. This review focuses on a rapid and reliable photoaffinity method utilizing diazirine-based multifunctional photoprobes with numerous potential applications in functional proteomics of biomolecular interactions.

Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate is a membrane lipid found in all eukaryotes so far studied but down-stream effector proteins of this lipid have yet to be identified. Here we report the use of cDNA phage libraries in conjunction with synthetic biotinylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate in the identification of a mammalian phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate-binding protein, mVps24p. This protein is orthologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Vps24p, a class-E vacuolar protein-sorting protein. Using in vitro liposome binding and competition assays, we demonstrate that mVps24p selectively binds to phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate in preference to other phosphoinositides tested. When expressed in cultured mammalian cells, full-length mVps24p is cytosolic. However, when cells expressing the full-length mVps24p are co-transfected with a mutated form of mVps4p (which is defective in ATP hydrolysis), or when a N-terminal construct of mVps24p is expressed, the class-E cellular phenotype with swollen vacuoles is induced and mVps24p is membrane-associated. Furthermore, the accumulation of the N-terminal mVps24p construct on the swollen endosomal membranes is abrogated when phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate synthesis is blocked with wortmannin. These data provide the first direct link between phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and the protein machinery involved in the production of the class-E cellular phenotype. We hypothesize that accumulation of Vps24 on membranes occurs when membrane association (dependent on interaction of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate with the N-terminal domain of the protein) is uncoupled from membrane disassociation (driven by Vps4p). - M Hashimoto, K Nabeta, K MurakamiBIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 13 (9) 1531 - 1533 0960-894X 2003/05 [Refereed][Not invited]

We have developed two novel 3-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyldiazirinyl bis-glucose derivatives to investigate the properties of the adipocyte glucose transporter GLUT4. These compounds were substituted by electron-withdrawing (iodo and nitro) groups on the aromatic ring of 3-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyldiazirine photophore and were found to be more photosensitive than compounds without such substituents. The compounds were used as inhibitors of insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in order to assess half-maximal Inhibition or relative affinity values for GLUT4. The affinities were found to be 60-130 times higher than the parent compound D-glucose. Because of the increased photo-reactivity and high affinity these compounds will be useful in studies directed at further elucidation of GLUT4 function. - M Hashimoto, Y Hatanaka, K NabetaBIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 12 (1) 89 - 91 0960-894X 2002/01 [Refereed][Not invited]

Glucose transporters (GLUTs) can be photoaffinity labelled by (diazirinetrifluoroethyl)benzoyl-substituted glucose derivatives and the adduct can be recognised, after detergent solubilisation of membranes, by using streptavidin-based detection systems. However, in intact cells recognition of photolabelled GLUTs by avidin and anti-biotin antibodies only occurs if the bridge between the photoreactive and the biotin moieties has a minimum of 60-70 spacer atoms. We show that a suitably long bridge can be synthesised with a combination of polyethylene glycol and tartarate groups and that introduction of these spacers generates hydrophilic products that can be cleaved with periodate. Introduction of the very long spacers does not appreciably reduce; the affinity of interaction of the probes with the transport system. - M Hashimoto, Y Hatanaka, K NabetaBIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 10 (21) 2481 - 2483 0960-894X 2000/11 [Refereed][Not invited]

We successfully applied a carbene-generating N-acetylglucosamine derivative carrying a biotinyl group to the radioisotope-free identification of peptides within bovine UDP-galactose: N-acetylglucosamine beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalT, EC 2.4.1.38) catalytic domain. Owing to the low yield of cross-linking, conventional photoaffinity labeling experiments usually encounter a thorny problem in attempting to isolate labeled components from very complex mixtures. A biotin tag introduced with our photoaffinity probe enabled us to separate the photolabeled protein from a large amount of coexisting unlabeled GalT. The introduction of biotin was also useful for the radioisotope-free detection of a labeled protein based on a highly sensitive chemiluminescent technique, We developed a novel poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane for the identification of labeled peptides in a simple dot blot assay. Using this membrane, we successfully identified biotinyl peptides among a number of HPLC separated fragments derived from the protease digestion of photolabeled GalT proteins. The sequence analysis revealed that the biotin tag was incorporated within a tryptic GalT fragment of Y197-R208. Our approach yields, for the first time, information on the acceptor substrate binding-site fragment in this enzyme, that has been difficult to obtain using other approaches, These data are consistent with previous suggestions concerning the GalT acceptor site and clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for rapid identification of photolabeled peptides. - K Katoh, K Yamamoto, M Yamamoto, M Hashimoto, K NabetaBIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 62 (12) 2480 - 2482 0916-8451 1998/12 [Refereed][Not invited]

The formyl group was easily converted to carboxylic acid, olefin, alcohol, or benzyl bromide providing new derivatives of diazirine photophor in the field of photoaffinity labeling. - Y Hatanaka, M Hashimoto, S Nishihara, H Narimatsu, Y KanaokaCARBOHYDRATE RESEARCH 294 95 - 108 0008-6215 1996/11 [Refereed][Not invited]
A photoreactive N-acetylglucosamine derivative, N-[2-[2-[2-(2-biotinylaminoethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy]-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]benzoyl]-N-4-[2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-L-aspartamide (BDGA), was synthesized as a carbene-generating biotinylated probe for UDP-galactose:N-acetylglucosamine beta-(1 --> 4)-galactosyltransferase (GalT). The photoaffinity labeling experiments of bovine GalT with BDGA under various conditions were examined based on the quantitative chemiluminescent detection of the biotinyl residue which was photochemically introduced into the GalT protein. A progressive decrease in the yield of specific photolabeling was observed upon lowering the incubation temperature from 37 degrees C to 20 degrees C or 4 degrees C. The amount of photoincorporation was also decreased when UMP was not included in the incubation mixture, Using a crude protein mixture of recombinant human GalT, a band corresponding to the glutathione S-transferase fusion GalT protein was also specifically visualized. Furthermore, combined use of BDGA photolabeling with an immobilized avidin was found to be effective for the selective retrieval of photolabeled GalT from a reaction mixture containing a large amount of unlabeled GalT protein. The results obtained clearly demonstrate that the covalent biotinylation using the carbene-generating photoaffinity reagent BDGA would be useful for the analysis of acceptor substrate binding sites within the GalT protein.

A new biotinylated lactose derivative bearing a nitro-substituted chromogenic diazirine was synthesized. The biotinyl group within the structure enabled the performance of a convenient assay of GM(3) synthase based on avidin-biotin technology, and the K-m values of this biotinylated photoprobe were determined as 40 and 47 mu M using bovine brain and rat liver Golgi as enzyme sources, respectively. Furthermore, the sialylation of lactosylceramide, a natural acceptor substrate for GM(3) synthase, was competitively inhibited by this synthetic analog. The reagent could be a useful chromogenic photoprobe for GM(3) synthase. - Synthesis of a carbon-linked CMP-NANA analog and its inhibitory effects on GM(3) and GD(3) synthasesY Hatanaka, M Hashimoto, KIPJ Hidari, Y Sanai, Y Nagai, Y KanaokaHETEROCYCLES 43 (3) 531 - 534 0385-5414 1996/03 [Refereed][Not invited]

A new biotinylated lactose derivative bearing a C-14-labeled phenyldiazirine was synthesized. A convenient approach based on avidin-biotin technology was successfully applied for GM(3) synthase assay and the Km value of this biotinylated photoprobe was determined as 180 mu M using rat liver Golgi as the enzyme source.

3-Phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-diazirine derivatives with nitro and alkoxy substituents on their aromatic ring have been synthesized as carbene precursors for chromogenic detection of photolabeled products. Photolysis of the diazirines in methanol or cyclohexane gave intermolecular O-H or C-H insertion products, respectively. Spectroscopic properties of the photoproducts are such that detection of photolabeled products may be performed in a spectral region where the absorption due to most biological macromolecules is negligible. A carbon-14 analog of the diazirine was also prepared for microscale detection of labeled products. These nitro-substituted aryl diazirines should be applicable to a wide range of photoaffinity labeling studies, from tracer experiments to preparative isolation of labeled products by HPLC with spectrophotometric detection. - Yasumaru Hatanaka, Makoto Hashimoto, Yuichi KanaokaBioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry 2 (12) 1367 - 1373 0968-0896 1994 [Refereed][Not invited]
The synthesis of a p-[(3-trifluoromethyl)diazirine-3-yl]benzoic acid derivative is described as a new carbene generating heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent. The cross-linker carries a biotin moiety in order to make use of avidin-biotin technology for specific manipulation of cross-linked components. To evaluate the ability of this reagent, the inter-subunit cross-linking of egg-white avidin tetramer was investigated. As a typical application of avidin-biotin technology for cross-linking experiments, a chemiluminescent detection method was examined to identify photobiotinylated components. A cross-linked dimeric product with an apparent molecular mass of 38 kDa was clearly visualized by the combined use of a horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin conjugate and a luminol-based chemiluminescent system. © 1995. - Y HATANAKA, M HASHIMOTO, H KURIHARA, H NAKAYAMA, Y KANAOKAJOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 59 (2) 383 - 387 0022-3263 1994/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
A series Of simple methods for modifying diazirines bearing an aromatic ring has been accomplished. This first versatile approach involving direct substitution on the aromatic ring of diazirines has been achieved by means of the aromatic thallation of (alkoxyphenyl)diazirines. Introduction of the thallium moiety was successfully followed by nitration, iodination, or palladium-catalyzed carbonylation to give a family of substituted aryldiazirines useful for photolabeling. For instance, diazirines labeled with a nitro group can be detected by spectrophotometric methods, and those labeled with an iodo group can be useful in tracer experiments. The (methoxyphenyl)diazirines were also found to be stable under certain demethylation conditions, thus providing a potential source of diazirines with modifiable phenol hydroxyl groups. By means of this approach, a spacer arm to link diazirines with ligands was readily introduced. Radioactive diazirines labeled with carbon-14 or tritium were also prepared using this method. All the new diazirines were derived from a pair of simple (methoxyphenyl)diazirines. The ease of derivatization of the (alkoxyphenyl)diazirines described here may offer a practical approach to simplify the time-consuming methods currently used for diazirine synthesis. - M HASHIMOTO, H KURIHARA, Y SANAI, K HIDARI, Y NAGAI, Y KANAOKA, Y HATANAKAJOURNAL OF PHARMACOBIO-DYNAMICS 15 (7) S94 - S94 0386-846X 1992/07 [Refereed][Not invited]

Post-derivatization for the ligand structure of photoaffinity probes are one of the fashion to detect photo labeled components. But isolations of photo labeled components are not easy due to there is no effect methods to isolate the small amounts of labeled components. We found that alpha-aminoketone structure was utilized to cleave specifically by photo-irradiation with different wavelength from photoaffinity labeling. Irradiations with different wavelength is easy to handle to elucidate the ligand-biomolecules relationship.
