Consequently, the present bioelectrocatalysis does not rely on a continuous oxygen supply through bubbling air or pure oxygen in biosynthetic applications, which reduces enzyme stability. The coupled electrochemical and enzymatic catalysis is achieved through a combination of enzyme immobilization on the electrode and electrochemical oxidation of FADH<sub>2</sub> in the active site mediated by the electron transfer mediator ferrocene carboxylic acid (FcCA). Furthermore, to minimize the effect of dissolved oxygen when the electrocatalytic process is exposed to air, we successfully designed mutations at the Leu40 and Cys42 sites of <i>Leuconostoc mesenteroides</i> (<i>Lm</i>NOx) to block the oxygen passage into the active site and to eliminate the native FAD cofactor regeneration half-reaction.

Unfortunately, the structural and biophysical mechanisms of several key MLGIs remain poorly understood, limiting our ability to design spatially matched glycoconjugates as potential therapeutics against specific MLGIs. We have recently demonstrated that natural oligomannose-coated nanoparticles are powerful probes for MLGIs. They can provide not only quantitative affinity and binding thermodynamic data but also key structural information (&lt;i&gt;e.g&lt;/i&gt;, binding site orientation and mode) useful for designing glycoconjugate therapeutics against specific MLGIs. Despite success, how designing parameters (&lt;i&gt;e.g&lt;/i&gt;., glycan type, density, and scaffold size) control their MLGI biophysical and antiviral properties remains to be elucidated. A synthetic pseudodimannose (psDiMan) ligand has been shown to selectively bind to a dendritic cell surface tetrameric lectin, DC-SIGN, over some other multimeric lectins sharing monovalent mannose specificity but having distinct cellular functions. Herein, we display psDiMan polyvalently onto gold nanoparticles (GNPs) of varying sizes (&lt;i&gt;e.g&lt;/i&gt;., ∼5 and ∼13 nm, denoted as G5- and G13 psDiMan hereafter) to probe how the scaffold size and glycan display control their MLGI properties with DC-SIGN and the closely related lectin DC-SIGNR. We show that G5/13 psDiMan binds strongly to DC-SIGN, with sub-nM &lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt; &lt;sub&gt;d&lt;/sub&gt;s, with affinity being enhanced with increasing scaffold size, whereas they show apparently no or only weak binding to DC-SIGNR. Interestingly, there is a minimal, GNP-size-dependent, glycan density threshold for forming strong binding with DC-SIGN. By combining temperature-dependent affinity and Van't Hoff analyses, we have developed a new GNP fluorescence quenching assay for MLGI thermodynamics, revealing that DC-SIGN-G&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;-psDiMan binding is enthalpy-driven, with a standard binding Δ&lt;i&gt;H&lt;/i&gt; &lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt; of ∼ -95 kJ mol&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;, which is ∼4-fold that of the monovalent binding and is comparable to that measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. We further reveal that the enhanced DC-SIGN affinity with G&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;-psDiMan with increasing GNP scaffold size is due to reduced binding entropy penalty and not due to enhanced favorable binding enthalpy. We further show that DC-SIGN binds tetravalently to a single G&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;-psDiMan, irrespective of the GNP size, whereas DC-SIGNR binding is dependent on GNP size, with no apparent binding with G5, and weak cross-linking with G13. Finally, we show that G&lt;i&gt;x&lt;/i&gt;-psDiMans potently inhibit DC-SIGN-dependent augmentation of cellular entry of Ebola pseudoviruses with sub-nM EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values, whereas they exhibit no significant (for G5) or weak (for G13) inhibition against DC-SIGNR-augmented viral entry, consistent to their MLGI properties with DC-SIGNR in solution.

However, it has largely remained unclear whether and how such motions can control different steps of catalysis. We have studied this problem on the example of the mobile active site β<sub>1</sub>α<sub>1</sub>-loop (loop1) of the (βα)<sub>8</sub>-barrel enzyme HisF, which is the cyclase subunit of imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase. Loop1 variants containing single mutations of conserved amino acids showed drastically reduced rates for the turnover of the substrates <i>N</i>'-[(5'-phosphoribulosyl) formimino]-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (PrFAR) and ammonia to the products imidazole glycerol phosphate (ImGP) and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-ribotide (AICAR). A comprehensive mechanistic analysis including stopped-flow kinetics, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations detected three conformations of loop1 (open, detached, closed) whose populations differed between wild-type HisF and functionally affected loop1 variants. Transient stopped-flow kinetic experiments demonstrated that wt-HisF binds PrFAR by an induced-fit mechanism whereas catalytically impaired loop1 variants bind PrFAR by a simple two-state mechanism. Our findings suggest that PrFAR-induced formation of the closed conformation of loop1 brings active site residues in a productive orientation for chemical turnover, which we show to be the rate-limiting step of HisF catalysis. After the cyclase reaction, the closed loop conformation is destabilized, which favors the formation of detached and open conformations and hence facilitates the release of the products ImGP and AICAR. Our data demonstrate how different conformations of active site loops contribute to different catalytic steps, a finding that is presumably of broad relevance for the reaction mechanisms of (βα)<sub>8</sub>-barrel enzymes and beyond.</p>","PeriodicalId":94060,"journal":{"name":"JACS Au","volume":"4 8","pages":"3258-3276"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11350729/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142116491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is still challenging to synthesize enzyme-mimicking hosts that exhibit a narrow substrate scope that relies upon the recognition of substrates based on the molecular size. Herein, we introduce a Pd<sub>4</sub> self-assembled water-soluble molecular capsule [<b>M</b> <sub>4</sub> <b>L</b> <sub>2</sub>] (<b>MC</b>) that was formed through the self-assembly of a ligand <b>L</b> (4',4‴'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1',4'-dihydro-[4,2':6',4″-terpyridine]-3',5'-dicarbonitrile)) with the acceptor <i>cis</i>-[(en)Pd(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] [en = ethane-1,2-diamine] (<b>M</b>). The molecular capsule <b>MC</b> showed size-selective recognition towards xylene isomers. The redox property of <b>MC</b> was explored for efficient and selective oxidation of one of the alkyl groups of <i>m</i>-xylene and <i>p</i>-xylene to their corresponding toluic acids using molecular O<sub>2</sub> as an oxidant upon photoirradiation. Employing host-guest chemistry, we demonstrate the homogeneous catalysis of alkyl aromatics to the corresponding monocarboxylic acids in water under mild conditions. Despite homogeneous catalysis, the products were separated from the reaction mixtures by simple filtration/extraction, and the catalyst was reused. The larger analogues of the alkyl aromatics failed to bind within the <b>MC</b>'s hydrophobic cavity, resulting in a lower/negligible reaction outcome. The present study represents a facile approach for selective photo-oxidation of xylene isomers to their corresponding toluic acids in an aqueous medium under mild conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":94060,"journal":{"name":"JACS Au","volume":"4 8","pages":"3238-3247"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11350579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142116493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
