摘要:
The present invention relates to a recombinant expression vector comprising: a) the sequence encoding a purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase, E. C. 2.4.2.1), b) the sequence encoding a uridine phosphorylase (UPase, E. C. 2.4.2.3), c) or both; each of the sequences operably linked to one or more control sequences that direct the production of said phosphorylases in a suitable expression host; said sequences originating from the Archaea Thermoprotei class, characterized in that the PNPase is from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SEQ ID NO. 7) and the UPase is from Aeropyrum pernix (SEQ ID NO. 8). In addition, the present invention relates to A transglycosylation method between a sugar-donating nucleoside and an acceptor base in the presence of phosphate ions, characterised in that said method comprises the use of a uridine phosphorylase (UPase) of Aeropyrum pernix (NC_000854.2), a purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) of Sulfolobus solfataricus (NC_002754.1), or a combination thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a transglycosylation method for the preparation of natural and synthetic nucleosides using a uridine phosphorylase (PyNPase, E.C. 2.4.2.3), a purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase, E.C. 2.4.2.1), or a combination thereof. These biocatalysts may be used as such, or by means of host cells transformed with vectors comprising recombinant DNA gene derived from hyperthermophilic archaea and encoding for the PyNPase and PNPase enzymes.

摘要:
In a process for producing a nucleoside compound by reacting pentose-1-phosphate with a nucleic acid base or a nucleic acid base analog in an aqueous reaction medium in the presence of a metal cation, the point and method of adding at least one of these reactants to the aqueous reaction medium are changed to thereby effectively produce the nucleotide compound at a high yield without causing an increase in viscosity of the liquid reaction mixture or the solidification thereof even in case of using the reactant at such an amount as causing the increase in viscosity of the liquid reaction mixture or the solidification thereof when employed as such. Thus, it becomes possible to provide a widely applicable process for producing a nucleoside compound which involves the step of reacting pentose-1-phosphate with a nucleic acid base or a nucleic acid base analog in the presence of a nucleoside phosphorylase activity and by which the conversion ratio of the nucleoside compound in the above reaction can be elevated.

The invention provides a new method of treating diseases or conditions characterized by reduced dopamine D1 receptor signaling activity, such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and cognitive impairment of schizophrenia, comprising administering an effective amount of a 1,3,5,-substituted, 6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one to a patient in need thereof.
摘要:
According to the present invention, the E . coli mutant strain having chromosomal DNA that is at least 470 kbp shorter than that of a wild-type E . coli strain exhibits such a property that the number of the cells after a certain period of culture is greater than a wild-type strain. Thus, by culturing the mutant strain in a medium so as to generate and accumulate a useful substance in the culture, a useful substance such as proteins, peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, vitamins, saccharides, organic acids, and lipids can be efficiently produced.

Antibiotics RK-1061 having a novel chemical structure and a process for preparing the same. They have a structural formula represented by general formula (I) wherein A represents R1 or R1CH(OR2)CH2, R2 represents a 3-methylglutaric acid residue and R3 represents a sulfate group or a hydrogen atom. The process comprises culturing a ray fungus belonging to the genus Streptomyces and isolating RK-1061 from the culture. Streptomyces sp.SN-1061M (FERM BP-5800) is capable of stably producing RK-1061 at a high productivity.
