I. Antifreeze Proteins (Ice-Binding Proteins*): Structure, Function, and Applications
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are proteins that depress the freezing point but not the melting point of aqueous solutions by inhibiting the growth of ice crystals. The difference between the freezing and melting points is called thermal hysteresis (TH). The intriguing activity of AFPs has drawn interest from academia and industries because these proteins have broad potential applications, including cryopreservation, food preservation, transgenic technology, and cryosurgery (Davies, P.L. et al. 1989; Hew, C.L. et al. 1992; Wohrmann, A. 1996; Barrett, J. 2001; Ben, R.N. 2001; Bouvet, V. & Ben, R.N. 2003; Harding, M.M. et al. 2003; Fuller, B.J. 2004).
* Ice-binding protein (IBP) is a broad term describing any protein that binds to ice. IBPs include antifreeze proteins (AFPs), proteins that inhibit ice recrystallisation (IRIPs), proteins that anchor something to ice, and possibly even ice nucleation proteins (INPs). However, AFP is somewhat of a misnomer because this type of protein does not prevent freezing. Hence, in some of the literature, AFPs have been termed TH proteins (THPs), according to their activity, or ice structuring proteins (ISPs), since they control the shape and size of ice crystals. However, in much of the literature, IBP and AFP are interchangeable terms because further investigation of IBPs has revealed that, in most cases, they possess TH activity.
II. Enzymes
1. EPSP synthase and Shikimate Kinase
5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase is located in the shikimate pathway (Figure 1), which occupies a key position in providing the biosynthetic route to phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan in bacteria, fungi, algae and higher plants but not in mammals. In addition, a number of other benzenoid primary and secondary metabolites, such as the isoprenoid quinines, and ρ-aminobenzoic acids (PABA), are provided by branch metabolism from this pathway.
EPSP synthase (E. C. 2. 5. 1. 19) catalyzes the unusual reversible transfer of the enolpyruvyl moiety of PEP to 5-OH of S3P to form EPSP and inorganic phosphate via a tetrahedral intermediate (Scheme 1 A). For more than two decades, EPSP synthase has attracted the attention of researchers from agricultural industries and academia for the following reasons. Firstly, EPSP synthase is the target of glyphosate, the active ingredient of the broad spectrum post-emergence herbicide Roundup™ that is used worldwide to control weeds. Secondly, since the shikimate pathway is absent in mammals, EPSP synthase is an intriguing target for the development of new antibiotics and antiparasitics in the advent of antibiotic resistant pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pnuemoniae.
