Cathepsin L by parasites - occurrence, features, functions
Perháčová, Terézia ; Mikeš, Libor (advisor) ; Kašný, Martin (referee)
Cathepsines L are lysosomal cysteine endopeptidases with an universal function in protein catabolism. This work discusses present knowledge about their characteristics in the context of their specific function in parasites. Features and function differences are described in detail on molecular level. The emphasis is on the biochemical properties with resultant use of these enzymes. Cathepsines L of kinetoplastida, aplikomplexa, entamoeba and helmints (focused on Fasciola spp and Schistosoma spp) are each discussed in appropriate chapters. Key words: hydrolase, protease, cysteine peptidase, cathepsin L, lysosome, parasite
Study enantioselectivity and synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics catalyzed by penicilin G acylase: Biocatalysis and in-silico experiments
Grulich, Michal ; Kyslík, Pavel (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee) ; Ettrich, Rüdiger (referee)
11 Abstract Penicillin G acylases (PGAs) belong among enantioselective enzymes catalyzing a hydrolysis of stable amide bond in a broad spectrum of substrates, often having high application potential. PGAEc from Escherichia coli and PGAA from microorganism Achromobacter sp. CCM 4824 were used to catalyze enantioselective hydrolyses of seven selected N-phenylacetylated (N-PhAc) α/β-amino acid racemates. The PGAA showed higher stereoselectivity for three (S) enantiomers: N-PhAc-β-homoleucine, N-PhAc-α-tert- leucine and N-PhAc-β-leucine. We have constructed a homology model of PGAA that was used in molecular docking experiments with the same substrates. In-silico experiments reproduced the data from experimental enzymatic resolutions confirming validity of employed modeling protocol. We employed this protocol to evaluate enantiopreference of PGAA towards seven new substrates with application potential. For five of them, high enantioselectivity of PGAA was predicted for. PGAA was further studied in kinetically controlled syntheses of β-lactam antibiotics (SSBA). The PGAA was significantly more efficient at synthese of ampicillin and amoxicillin (higher S/H ratio and product accumulation) compared with PGAEc . Analogously to prediction of enantioselectivity of PGAA towards new substrates this protocol was applied...
