A novel gene ST2026 encoding a putative carboxylesterase from the thermophilic crenarchaeota Sulfolobus tokodaii (named EstSt7) was cloned and functionally overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity after heat treatment, Ni-NTA affinity and Superdex-200 gel filtration chromatography. EstSt7 showed maximum activity at 80 C over 30 min and had a half-life of 180 min at 90 C. Its enzymatic activity was stable in the pH range of 8.0-10.0 with an optimum at 9.0. The enzyme exhibited significant esterase activity toward various p-nitrophenyl esters and the most preferable substrate was p-nitrophenyl butyrate (kcat/Km of 246.3 s-1 mM-1). In addition, EstSt7 showed high activity and stability against organic solvents (20% and 50% v/v) and detergents (1% and 5% v/v). Furthermore, EstSt7 could efficiently hydrolyze a wide range of synthetic pyrethroids including fenpropathrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, cyhalothrin, deltamethrin and bifenthrin, which makes it a potential candidate for the detoxification of pyrethroids for the purpose of biodegradation. Sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis and comparison of the conserved motif reveal that this novel carboxylesterase EstSt7 should be grouped into a new bacterial lipase and esterase family.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a fundamental role in neuronal synaptic plasticity. A decrease of plasticity in the brain may be related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. Pyrethroid insecticides, which affect sodium channels in neurons, are widely used to control insect pests in agriculture and in the home. We previously found that deltamethrin (DM), a type II pyrethroid, increased Bdnf mRNA expression in cultured rat cortical neurons. However, the cyano group at the α-position of type II pyrethroids is likely susceptible to hydrolytic degradation and, its degraded product, hydrogen cyanide, could generate a cellular toxicity in the human body. To determine if the cyano group is required for the Bdnf exon IV-IX (Bdnf eIV-IX) mRNA expression induced by type II pyrethroids, for this study we synthesized a series of derivatives, in which the cyano group at the α-position was replaced with an ethynyl group. Then we added various substituents at the terminal position of the ethynyl group, and biologically evaluated the effects of these derivatives on Bdnf eIV-IX mRNA expression. These ethynyl derivatives induced the Bdnf eIV-IX mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner, at varying levels but lower levels than that evoked by DM. The mechanisms for the Bdnf induction and the morphological changes of neurons were the same whether the cyano or ethynyl group was included in the compounds.

(Chemical Equation Presented) (1R)-cis-Chrysanthemic acid has been prepared in a few steps with complete control of the relative and absolute stereochemistry. Some mechanistic aspect of the addition of bromine to the C,C double bond of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylcyclohex-3-enol is disclosed.
