Prokaryotic dioxygenase is known to catalyze aromatic compounds into their corresponding cis-dihydrodiols, however, we found that the same enzyme showed dioxygenase activity toward flavone, resulting in the production of flavone cis-2,3-dihydrodiol. Extensive structural identification of the metabolites of flavanone by using high-pressure liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance confirmed the presence of an epoxide functional group on the metabolites. Epoxide formation as the initial activation step of aromatic compounds by oxygenases has been reported to occur only by eukaryotic monooxygenases. To the best of our knowledge, biphenyl dioxygenase from P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 is the first prokaryotic enzyme detected that can produce an epoxide derivative on the aromatic ring structure of flavanone.
The information protection systems of company are intended to detect all weak points, intrusion, document drain. All actions of people in company are recorded and can check persistently. On the other hand, what analyze security log generated by these systems becomes more difficult. Most staff who manages the security systems, and analyze log is more incomprehensible than a user or a person of drain for an information distribution process of the work-site operations and the management procedure of the critical information. Such a reality say the serious nature of the internal information leakage that can be brought up more. While the research on the big data proceeds actively recently, the successful cases are being announced in the various areas. This research is going to present the improved big data processing technology and case of the security field.
Escherichia coli JM109 strains expressing either toluene dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida F1 or biphenyl dioxygenase from Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 were examined for their ability to catalyze flavones. Biphenyl dioxygenase produced metabolites from flavone and 5,7-dihydroxyflavone which were not found in the control experiments. The absorption maxima of UV-visible spectra for the metabolites from flavone and 5,7-dihydroxyflavone were found at 337 and 348 nm respectively by using a photodiode array detector in the HPLC. Liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) showed molecular weights 256 and 288 for the metabolites, respectively. The metabolite of flavone, which was isolated and purified from the bacterial culture, was further subjected to analysis by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Based on the LC/MS and NMR results, biphenyl dioxygenase inserted oxygen at C2' and C3' on the B-ring of flavone, resulting in the formation of flavone cis-2', 3'-dihydrodiol (2-[3,4-dihydroxy-1.5-cyclohexadienyl]-4H-chromen-4-one). Since this product is not found in Chemical Abstracts, this compound is considered a novel one. In addition, biotransformation of flavones by biphenyl dioxygenase suggested a potential role of bacterial dioxygenase to synthesize novel compounds from plant secondary metabolites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
