Of valine

A likely exit path for the xenon was identified as follows. Different members of our research group placed the exit path in the same location and were able to control extraction of the xenon atom with the tug feature of the steered dynamics system without causing exaggerated perturbations of the structure. The exit path is located between the side chains of leucines 84 and 118 and of valine 87 the flexible side chain of lysine 83 lies just outside the exit and part of the time is an obstacle to a linear extraction (Fig. 1).

Factors affecting the accumulation of ansamitocins P-2, P-3, and P-4 in JSbocardia sp. C-15003 have been studied (246) the addition of isoleucine, propionate, ptopionaldehyde, or -ptopyl alcohol to the fermentation medium resulted in the increased production of P-2 the addition of valine, isobutyrate, isobutyraldehyde, or isobutyl alcohol increased the production of P-3, reaching more than 90% of the total ansamitocins produced and the addition of leucine, isovalerate, isovaleraldehyde, or isoamyl alcohol increased the production of P-4. 

Adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B 2) is required in a number of rearrangement reactions that occurring in humans is the methylmalonyl-Co A mutase-mediated conversion of (R)-methylmalonyl-Co A (6) to succinjl-CoA (7) (eq. 1). The mechanism of this reaction is poorly understood, although probably free radical in nature (29). The reaction is involved in the cataboHsm of valine and isoleucine. In bacterial systems, adenosylcobalamin drives many 1,2-migrations of the type exemplified by equation 1 (30). 

Meyers has demonstrated that chiral oxazolines derived from valine or rert-leucine are also effective auxiliaries for asymmetric additions to naphthalene. These chiral oxazolines (39 and 40) are more readily available than the methoxymethyl substituted compounds (3) described above but provide comparable yields and stereoselectivities in the tandem alkylation reactions. For example, addition of -butyllithium to naphthyl oxazoline 39 followed by treatment of the resulting anion with iodomethane afforded 41 in 99% yield as a 99 1 mixture of diastereomers. The identical transformation of valine derived substrate 40 led to a 97% yield of 42 with 94% de. As described above, sequential treatment of the oxazoline products 41 and 42 with MeOTf, NaBKi and aqueous oxalic acid afforded aldehydes 43 in > 98% ee and 90% ee, respectively. These experiments demonstrate that a chelating (methoxymethyl) group is not necessary for reactions to proceed with high asymmetric induction.

In 1995, Nagata et al. [16] identified a point mutation consisting of a substitution of valine for aspartic acid in the catalytic domain of c-kit (D816V) in the peripheral blood of patients with mastocytosis and predominately myelodysplastic features. Subsequently, the same mutation was identified in adult patients with different forms of mastocytosis in tissues where mast cells are abundant, such as bone marrow, skin and spleen [17]. It is now believed that more than 90% of adults with mastocytosis have the D816V mutation, if bone marrow mononuclear cells are examined [17]. In a subset of patients, primarily those with more severe disease, the clone expands sufficiently to be detected in peripheral blood [16].

Methylmalonyl CoA mutase, leucine aminomutase, and methionine synthase (Figure 45-14) are vitamin Bj2-dependent enzymes. Methylmalonyl CoA is formed as an intermediate in the catabolism of valine and by the carboxylation of propionyl CoA arising in the catabolism of isoleucine, cholesterol, and, rarely, fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms—or directly from propionate, a major product of microbial fer-...

The second and most important finding of this sequencing project was that the difference of 14 Da between the two proteins was not because of a methy-lation of the protein isolated from chicken but because of a substitution of valine for leucine. The MS/MS analysis of the tryptic pieces in which the substitution occurred is shown in Figure 10.11. Had this been a bottom-up... 

Figure 10.11 MS/MS spectra of a tryptic piece of the 11,222 Da protein (top spectrum) and the 11,236 Da protein (bottom spectrum). Both proteins were identified as homologous to a conserved hypothetical protein of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. The only difference observed in the sequence is that of a substitution of valine with leucine, which increases the molecular weight of the protein by 14 Da.
