The nucleotide sequence was determined for Anon 13, a 1250-bp SmaI fragment located approximately 2.8 kb downstream from bla(SHV-5) in pACM1. Anon 13 is 99% identical to a segment of the unpublished sequence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae chromosome. Genes of the K. pneumoniae sequence are undefined, but conceptual amino acid translations of two ORFs in Anon 13 are homologous to L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase (FucA) and a conserved hypothetical protein present in the chromosomes of several species of bacteria. In addition, restriction mapping indicates that the region of homology between the K. pneumoniae chromosome and pACM1 is as least 7.9 kb and includes both Anon 13 and bla(SHV). These observations demonstrate the chromosomal origin of the bla(SHV-5) on pACM1.

Peptide dendrimers were investigated as synthetic models for aldolase enzymes. Combinatorial libraries were prepared with aldolase active residues such as lysine and proline placed at the dendrimer core or near the surface. On-bead selection for aldolase activity was carried out using the dye-labelled 1,3-diketone 1a, suitable for covalent trapping of enamine-reactive side-chains, and the fluorogenic enolization probe 6. Aldolase dendrimers catalyzed the aldol reaction of acetone, dihydroxyacetone and cyclohexanone with nitrobenzaldehyde. Much like enzymes, the dendrimers exhibited strong aldolase activity in aqueous medium, but were also active in organic solvent. Dendrimer-catalyzed aldol reactions reached complete conversion in 3 h at 25 degrees C with 1 mol% catalyst and gave aldol products with up to 65% ee. A positive dendritic effect in catalysis was observed with both lysine and proline based aldolase dendrimer catalysts.
