Panomycocin is a naturally produced potent antimycotic/antifungal protein secreted by the yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus NCYC 434 with an exo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity. In this study the three dimensional structure of panomycocin was predicted and the computational site-directed mutagenesis was performed to enhance its thermal stability in liquid formulations over the body temperature for topical therapeutic applications. Homology modeling was performed with MODELLER and I-TASSER. Among the generated models, the model with the lowest energy and DOPE score was selected for further loop modeling. The loop model was optimized and the reliability of the model was confirmed with ERRAT, Verify 3D and Ramachandran plot values. Enhancement of the thermal stability of the model was done using contemporary servers and programs such as SPDBViewer, CNA, I-Mutant2.0, Eris, AUTO-MUTE and MUpro. In the region outside the binding site of the model Leu52 Arg, Phe223Arg and Gly254Arg were found to be the best thermostabilizing mutations with 6.26 K, 6.26 K and 8.27 K increases, respectively. In the binding site Glu186Arg was found to be the best thermostabilizer mutation with a 9.58 K temperature increase. The results obtained in this study led us to design a mutant panomycocin that can be used as a novel antimycotic/antifungal drug in a liquid formulation for topical applications over the normal body temperature.

Determination of antimicrobial spectrum of K9 type yeast killer toxin and its cell killing activity
Yener, Burcu; İzgü, Kadri Fatih; Department of Biology (2006)
Some yeast strains secrete extracellular polypeptide toxins known to have potential growth inhibitory activity on other sensitive yeast genera but are immune to their own toxins. These yeast strains are termed as killer yeasts and their toxins are designated as killer proteins or killer toxins. Killer phenotypes are classified into 11 typical types (K1-K11). The toxic actions of yeast killer proteins on sensitive cells show differences and one of the most important toxic actions involves the selective funct...
Antimicrobial spectrum determination of the K5 type yeast killer protein on bacteria causing skin infections and its cell killing activity
Gönen, Tuğçe; İzgü, Kadri Fatih; Department of Biology (2006)
Some yeast strains secrete extracellular polypeptide toxins known to have potential growth inhibitory activity on sensitive yeast cells. These yeast strains are known as killer yeasts and their toxins are named as killer toxins or killer proteins. Yeast killer proteins are found inhibitory to Gram-positive bacteria in several studies which were based on microbial interactions of the producer strains tested with sensitive strains. K5 type yeast killer protein produced by Pichia anomala NCYC 434 was previousl...
Transcription termination and RNA degradation contribute to silencing of RNA polymerase II transcription within heterochromatin.
Vasiljeva, L; Kim, M; Terzi Çizmecioğlu, Nihal; Soares, LM; Buratowski, S (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-15)
Within the heterochromatin of budding yeast, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription is repressed by the Sir2 deacetylase. Although heterochromatic silencing is generally thought to be due to limited accessibility of the underlying DNA, there are several reports of RNAPII and basal transcription factors within silenced regions. Analysis of the rDNA array revealed cryptic RNAPII transcription within the "non-transcribed" spacer region. These transcripts are terminated by the Nrd1 /Sen1 complex and degraded ...
Protein adsorption and transport in dextran-modified ion-exchange media. I: Adsorption
Bowes, Brian D.; Koku, Harun; Czymmek, Kirk J.; Lenhoff, Abraham M. (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-06)
Adsorption behavior is compared on a traditional agarose-based ion-exchange resin and on two dextran-modified resins, using three proteins to examine the effect of protein size. The latter resins typically exhibit higher static capacities at low ionic strengths and electron microscopy provides direct visual evidence supporting the view that the higher static capacities are due to the larger available binding volume afforded by the dextran. However, isocratic retention experiments reveal that the larger prot...
A novel synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles
KIVRAK, Arif; Zora, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-28)
A novel synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles is described by utilizing the reactions between amidoximes and alpha,beta-alkynic aldehydes and/or ketones. Conjugate addition products, obtained from amidoximes and alpha,beta-alkynic aldehydes and/or ketones, afford 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles when treated with bases and acids, respectively. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles can also be synthesized directly from amidoximes and alpha,beta-alkynic aldehydes in a one-pot manner under basic conditions. The reactions ...
