Hydrazones are natural and synthetic compounds containing a C=N-N moiety. Here we found that the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 produced NAD(+)- or NADP(+)-dependent hydrazone dehydrogenase (HDH), which converts hydrazones to the corresponding hydrazides and acids rather than to the simple hydrolytic product aldehydes. Gene cloning indicated that the HDH is part of the group X aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family, which is distributed among bacteria, although the physiological roles of the ALDH family remain unknown. The PAO1 strain upregulated HDH in the presence of the hydrazone adipic acid bis(ethylidene hydrazide) (AEH). Gene disruption of the HDH-encoding hdhA (PA4022) decreased growth rates in culture medium containing AEH as the sole carbon source, and this effect was more obvious in the double gene disruption of hdhA and its orthologous exaC (PA1984), indicating that these genes are responsible for hydrazone utilization. Recombinant proteins of group X ALDHs from Escherichia coli, Paracoccus denitrificans, and Ochrobactrum anthropi also acted as HDHs in that they produced HDH activity in the cells and degraded hydrazones. These findings indicated the physiological roles of group X ALDHs in bacteria and showed that they comprise a distinct ALDH subfamily.  相似文献

An aldehyde oxidase, which oxidizes various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using O(2) as an electron acceptor, was purified from the cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas sp. KY 4690, a soil isolate, to an electrophoretically homogeneous state. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 132 kDa and consisted of three non-identical subunits with molecular masses of 88, 39, and 18 kDa. The absorption spectrum of the purified enzyme showed characteristics of an enzyme belonging to the xanthine oxidase family. The enzyme contained 0.89 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide, 1.0 mol of molybdenum, 3.6 mol of acid-labile sulfur, and 0.90 mol of 5'-CMP per mol of enzyme protein, on the basis of its molecular mass of 145 kDa. Molecular oxygen served as the sole electron acceptor. These results suggest that aldehyde oxidase from Pseudomonas sp. KY 4690 is a new member of the xanthine oxidase family and might contain 1 mol of molybdenum-molybdpterin-cytosine dinucleotide, 1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide, and 2 mol of [2Fe-2S] clusters per mol of enzyme protein. The enzyme showed high reaction rates toward various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and high thermostability.  相似文献

Sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity to give a sample with a specific activity of 380 nmol NADH min(-1) mg(-1). An amino acid analysis of the enzyme gave results similar to those reported for aldehyde dehydrogenases from other sources. The isoelectric point was at pH 5.25 and the enzyme contained no significant amounts of metal ions. On the binding of NADH to the enzyme there is a shift in absorption maximum of NADH to 344 nm, and a 5.6-fold enhancement of nucleotide fluorescence. The protein fluorescence (lambdaexcit = 290 nm, lambdaemisson = 340 nm) is quenched on the binding of NAD+ and NADH. The enhancement of nucleotide fluorescence on the binding of NADH has been utilised to determine the dissociation constant for the enzyme . NADH complex (Kd = 1.2 +/- 0.2 muM). A Hill plot of the data gave a straight line with a slope of 1.0 +/- 0.3 indicating the absence of co-operative effects. Ellman's reagent reacted only slowly with the enzyme but in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate complete reaction occurred within a few minutes to an extent corresponding to 36 thiol groups/enzyme. Molecular weights were determined for both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenases and were 212 000 +/- 8 000 and 205 000 respectively. Each enzyme consisted of four subunits with molecular weight of 53 000 +/- 2 000. Properties of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenases from sheep liver were compared with other mammalian liver aldehyde dehydrogenases.  相似文献

A proteinase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting collagenolytic activity was purified 1575-fold with a recovery of 24% by use of chemical and chromatographic technics. The enzyme preparation appeared to be homogeneous when subjected to chromatographic, electrophoretic and ultracentrifugational analyses. A standard state sedimentation coefficient of 2.10 S was calculated and further analyses indicated that the enzyme had a molecular weight of 17 500 and dimerizes under certain conditions to yield an apparent molecular weight of 34 000. In addition to insoluble collagen, the enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of congocoll, azocoll, soluble collagen and casein, but did not attack orcein-elastin, azoalbumin, p-toluene eulfonyl-L-arginine methyl ester, benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, and the hexapeptide N-benzyloxycarbonyl-glycyl-L-prolyglycylglycyl-L-prolyl-L-alanine. Enzymatic activity against congocoll was 6-fold greater at pH 7.5 in Tris with HCl than in phosphate buffer at the same ionic strength. Cobalt, and to a lesser extent, Zn2+ appeared to activate the enzyme, especially in phosphate buffer. NcCN and p-chloromercuribenzoate did not appreciably inhibit enzyme activity, while (NH4)2 SO4, EDTA and cysteine displayed a significant inhibitory effect under certain conditions.  相似文献

A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to produce an enzyme that lyses viable cells of Staphylococcus aureus. The maximal yield of the enzyme was obtained from shake flask cultures of P. aeruginosa which were grown for 18 to 22 hr at 37 C in Trypticase Soy Broth. A 333-fold purification of the enzyme was obtained by acetone precipitation of the culture liquor, followed by column chromatography on phosphonic acid cellulose and Bio-Gel P2. The staphylolytic enzyme exhibited maximal activity at 37 C in 0.01 m sodium phosphate (pH 8.5) and was stable at 37 C in the pH range of 7.5 to 9.5. The inhibition and stabilization of the enzyme by various organic and inorganic materials was investigated. Spheroplasts of S. aureus were formed by treating viable cells with the staphylolytic enzyme in 1 m sucrose or human serum.  相似文献

A survey of the major deoxyribonucleases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO was undertaken. Two activities predominated in Brij-58 lysates of this organism. These have been purified from contaminating nuclease activities, and some of their properties have been elucidated. The first was a nuclease that degraded heat-denatured deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to mono- and dinucleotides. The activity of this enzyme was confined to single-stranded DNA, and 100% of the substrate was hydrolyzed to acid-soluble material. The Mg2+ optimum is low (1 to 3mM), and the molecular weight is 6 X 10(4). The second predominant activity was an adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-dependent deoxyribonuclease. This enzyme had an absolute dependence on the presence of ATP Mg2+ concentrations of approximately 10 mM. Five moles of ATP was consumed for each mole of phosphodiester bonds cleaved. The acid-soluble products of the reaction consisted of short oligonucleotides from one to six bases in length. Only 50% of the double-stranded DNA was rendered acid soluble in a limit digest. The molecular weight of this enzyme is 3 X 10(5). The observation of these enzymes in P. aeruginosa is consistent with the possibility that recombinational pathways similar to those of Escherichia coli are operating in this organism.  相似文献

Purification of extracellular lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
Lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) was excreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAC1R during the late logarithmic growth phase. Characterization of cell-free culture supernatants by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of significant amounts of lipopolysaccharide, part of which seemed to be tightly bound to lipase. After concentration of culture supernatants by ultrafiltration, lipase-lipopolysaccharide complexes were dissociated by treatment with EDTA-Tris buffer and subsequent sonication in the presence of the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate. The solubilized lipase was purified by isoelectric focusing in an agarose gel containing the same detergent; the lipase activity appeared in a single peak corresponding to a distinct band in the silver-stained gel. The isoelectric point was 5.8. Analysis of purified lipase by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and scanning revealed an apparent molecular weight of 29,000 and a specific activity of 760 mu kat/mg of protein. Estimations based on these data showed that a single P. aeruginosa cell excreted about 200 molecules of lipase, each having a molecular activity of 2.2 X 10(4) per s.  相似文献

Two isozymes of horse liver aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldehyde, NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3)), F1 and F2, have been purified to homogeneity using salt fractionation followed by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The specific activities of the two isozymes in a pH 9.0 system with propionaldehyde as substrate were approximately 0.35 and 1.0 mumol of NADH/min/mg of protein for the F1 and F2 isozymes, respectively. The multiporosity polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis molecular weights of the F1 and F2 isozymes were approximately 230,000 and 240,000 respectively. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave subunit molecular weight estimates of 52,000 and 53,000 for the F1 and F2 isozymes, respectively. The amino acid compositions of the two isozymes were found to be similar; the ionizable amino acid contents being consistent with the electrophoretic and chromatographic behavior of the two isozymes. Both isozymes exhibited a broad aldehyde specificity, oxidizing a wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and utilized NAD as coenzyme, but at approximately 300-fold higher coenzyme concentration could use NADP. The F1 isozyme exhibited a very low Km for NAD (3 muM) and a higher Km for acetaldehyde (70 muM), while the F2 isozyme was found to have a higher Km for NAD (30 muM) and a low Km for acetaldehyde (0.2 muM). The two isozymes showed similar chloral hydrate and p-chloromercuribenzoate inhibition characteristics, but the F1 isozyme was found to be several orders of magnittude more sensitive to disulfiram, a physiological inhibitor of acetaldehyde oxidation. Based on its disulfiram inhibition characteristics, it has been suggested that the F1 isozyme may be the primary enzyme for oxidizing the acetyldehyde produced during ethanol oxidation in vivo.  相似文献

Two extracellular autolysins have been detected in the spent culture supernatants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by using renaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The two autolysins were isolated from the culture supernatant by trichloroacetic acid precipitation and were shown to have apparent molecular masses of 26 and 29 kDa. The 26-kDa autolysin first appears during the early exponential phase of growth and then declines sharply, while the 29-kDa autolysin first appears in the late exponential phase of growth and continues well into the stationary phase. Fractionation of whole cells indicated that the 26-kDa enzyme was also localized within the periplasm, with a lesser amount of activity associated with the cytoplasmic membrane. The 29-kDa autolytic activity was distributed within the cell equally between the periplasm and the cytoplasmic membrane. The pH optima of the isolated 26- and 29-kDa autolysins are 6.0 and 5.0, respectively. Further evidence from both protease susceptibility and inhibition studies confirms that these two extracellular autolysins isolated from P. aeruginosa PAO1 are separate and distinct.  相似文献

An alkaline protease produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa MN1, isolated from an alkaline tannery waste water, was purified and characterized. The enzyme was purified 25-fold by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography to a specific activity of 82350 U mg−1. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 32000 daltons. The optimum pH and temperature for the proteolytic activity were pH 8.00 and 60°C, respectively. Enzyme activity was inhibited by EDTA suggesting that the preparation contains a metalloprotease. Enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Zn2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+(5 mM), while Ca2+ and Mn2+ resulted in partial inhibition. The enzyme is different from other Pseudomonas aeruginosa alkaline proteases in its stability at high temperature; it retained more than 90% and 66% of the initial activity after 15 and 120 min incubation at 60°C.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933 when grown on ethanol produces high levels of a quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase, which amounts to 7% of the soluble protein. The enzyme has been purified to homogeneity and it crystallizes readily in the presence of polyethylene glycol 1550 or 6000. The ethanol dehydrogenase (Km(ethanol) = 14 microM) resembles the dye-dependent quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenases of methylotrophic bacteria, but has a low affinity for methanol (Km (methanol) = 94mM). In addition the enzyme oxidizes secondary alcohols. With its catalytic properties the ethanol dehydrogenase is similar to the enzyme isolated from P. aeruginosa LMD 80.53 (Groen, B., Frank, J. Jzn. & Duine, J.A. (1984) Biochem. J. 223, 921-924). In contrast to this enzyme from P. aeruginosa LMD 80.53, which is a monomer, the ethanol dehydrogenase isolated from P. aeruginosa ATCC 17933 is a dimer of identical subunits of relative molecular mass 60,000. The N-terminal amino acid is lysine. Inactivation with cyclopropanone ethylhemiketal reveals one molecule of pyrroloquinoline quinone per subunit. As shown by active enzyme sedimentation, the dimer is the enzymatically active form.  相似文献

UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) catalyzes a two-step NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of UDP-glucose to produce UDP-glucuronic acid, which is a common substrate for the biosynthesis of exopolysaccharide. Searching the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genome data base for a UGDH has helped identify two open reading frames, PA2022 and PA3559, which may encode a UGDH. To elucidate their enzymatic identity, the two genes were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant proteins were purified. Both the gene products are active as dimers and are capable of utilizing UDP-glucose as a substrate to generate UDP-glucuronic acid. The K(m) values of PA2022 and PA3559 for UDP-glucose are approximately 0.1 and 0.4 mM, whereas the K(m) values for NAD(+) are 0.5 and 2.0 mM, respectively. Compared with PA3559, PA2022 exhibits broader substrate specificity, utilizing TDP-glucose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine with one-third the velocity of that with UDP-glucose. The PA2022 mutant and PA2022-PA3559 double mutant, but not the PA3559 mutant, are more susceptible to chloramphenicol, cefotaxime, and ampicillin. The PA3559 mutant, however, shows a reduced resistance to polymyxin B compared with wild type PAO1. Finally, real time PCR analysis indicates that PA3559 is expressed primarily in low concentrations of Mg(2+), which contrasts with the constitutive expression of PA2022. Although both the enzymes catalyze the same reaction, their enzymatic properties and gene expression profiles indicate that they play distinct physiological roles in P. aeruginosa, as reflected by different phenotypes displayed by the mutants.  相似文献

A bacteriolytic enzyme, PR1-lysozyme, has been purified from the lysate of mitomycin C-induced pyocinogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by acrinol treatment, Amberlite CG-50 chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and two cycles of SP-Sephadex C-50 chromatography. Homogeneity of the preparation was demonstrated by three electrophoretic techniques. PR1-lysozyme is a basic protein (pI, 9.4) and consists of a single polypeptide chain having a molecular weight of 24,000. The amino acid composition of the protein was analyzed, and no cystein residue was found among more than 210 amino acid residues. The optimum pH for enzymatic activity was 6.4 and the enzyme exhibited about 50 to 70 times greater specific activity than hen egg-white lysozyme when assayed with chloroform-killed P. aeruginosa as a substrate. By analyzing the products of enzymatic action on purified peptidoglycan of P. aeruginosa, the enzyme was identified as an N-acetylmuramidase, i.e., the same classification as hen-egg-white lysozyme. PR1-lysozyme did not show any activity towards intact cells of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria tested. However, the enzyme was able to lyse chloroform-killed gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.  相似文献

Two extracellular proteases have been isolated from the culture supernatant of a virulent strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The enzymes were purified in a three-step procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, acetone precipitation and column chromatography on DE-52 cellulose. The specific activity of protease I was 22.2 U/mg of protein and protease II 6.6 U/mg of protein. Immunological properties and electrophoretic mobilities of the two forms were different. The two forms differ in substrate specificity (only from I exhibited elastinolytic activity) and pH optimum (pH 7.5 and pH 10 for form I and II, respectively).  相似文献

Nitrous oxide reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of N2O to N2, was purified in a largely oxidized form from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain P2 by a simple anaerobic procedure to yield an enzyme with a peptide purity of 95-98%. For the native (dimeric) enzyme, Mr = 120,000 and for the denatured subunit, Mr = 73,000. The enzyme contained four Cu atoms/subunit, was purple in color, and exhibited a broad absorption band at 550 nm with an extinction coefficient of about 11,000 M-1 x cm-1 referenced to the dimer. It was nearly inactive as prepared but could be activated by incubation with 2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethane sulfonate buffer, pH 10, to specific activities as high as 27 mumol of N2O x min-1 x mg-1.Km for N2O and benzyl viologen radical cation was about 2 and 4 microM, respectively, both before and after enzyme activation. Activation increased the t1/2 for turnover-dependent inactivation from about 30 s to 5-10 min. Reduction of the enzyme by dithionite was kinetically biphasic and resulted in the loss of the 550-nm band and ultimate appearance of a 670-nm band. Isoelectric focusing revealed five components with pI values from 5.2 to 5.7. The pI values did not change following activation. The copper CD spectrum of the enzyme as prepared was different from that for the activated enzyme, whereas those for the enzyme after exposure to air and the activated enzyme were similar. Because the activated enzyme is a mixture of activated and inactive species, the specific activity of the activated species must be substantially greater than the observed value. Molecular heterogeneity may also explain the decreased optical absorbance and CD amplitude that resulted from the activation process. The data overall reinforce the view that the absorption spectrum of nitrous oxide reductase is not a good predictor of absolute activity.  相似文献

Peroxidation of SCN- to OSCN-, catalysed by myeloperoxidase and lactoperoxidase, was studied. The rate of this reaction showed sharp optima between pH 5 and 7.5, the position of which is determined by the concentrations of both SCN- and H2O2. At low pH values, both SCN- and H+ inhibited myeloperoxidase and lactoperoxidase competitively with respect to H2O2. The inhibition constants of SCN- for myeloperoxidase and lactoperoxidase (2 and 6 mM, respectively) are independent of pH. For these enzymes a Ki for H+ of 1 microM was found that corresponded to an ionisable group on the enzymes (pKa = 6) which controls the enzymic activity. A kinetic expression is proposed that explains most of the data. The physiological consequences of the corresponding mechanism are discussed.  相似文献
