The amino-acid compositions of both enzymes of gramicidin S synthetase were determined. These proteins contain a high number of acidic amino-acid residues. Phenylalanine racemase, the light enzyme, was sequenced from the N-terminus until position 10. The kinetics of the thioester formation reactions were studied. The half-life times of these processes under substrate saturation conditions were found in the range between seconds and a few minutes. The valine activation at the heavy enzyme was detected as one of the rate-limiting steps of the biosynthesis of gramicidin S. 相似文献

We report on a rapid method for the isolation and purification of the yeast ribosomal proteins L3 and L2 using a simple instrumentation. Preparative dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was applied to the separation of cytoplasmatic ribosomal proteins of the large subunit from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The polypeptides were removed from gel slices by electrophoretic elution. Subsequent analytical electrophoresis showed groups of proteins in all but two fractions. The latter were further analysed by a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis system which disclosed the purity of two polypeptides. They were identified as L3 and L2. Their molecular masses were 51.5 and 44 kDa as estimated from the gels. A possible application to the isolation of other yeast ribosomal proteins is discussed. An antiserum against the polypeptide L3 was raised in a rabbit. Applying an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) we were able to determine the relative antibody concentration. Its specificity was demonstrated by immunoblotting. 相似文献

Relative fluorescence yield, phi F, and transmittance, T, were measured in solubilized light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) as a function of photon density, Ip, of monochromatic 645-nm laser pulses (duration: approximately 2.5 ns). Special efforts were made in constructing an optical set-up that allows the accurate determination of the fluorescence from an area of constant Ip, phi F(Ip) starts to decline at approximately 10(14) and drops to values below 0.01% at maximum Ip (approximately 10(19) photons cm-2 pulse-1). T(Ip) decreases only slightly at photon densities of approximately 10(15) but increases steeply at values of > 10(17) photons cm-2 pulse-1. The interpretation of the phi F(Ip) data using the saturation limit of Mauzerall's multiple hit model leads to a unit size of about 10-15 chlorophyll molecules. One interpretation is to attribute this result to a very fast exciton-exciton annihilation of multiple excited states generated within this small domain. Alternatively, based on the assumption that delocalized cluster states within the monomeric/trimeric subunit of LHCII exist, the results can be consistently described by a kinetic model comprising ground, monoexcitonic, and biexcitonic states of clusters and a triplet state that is quenched by carotenoids in LHCII. Within the framework of this model the annihilation of multiple excitations is explained as ultrafast radiationless relaxation of higher excited cluster states. Comparative measurements in diluted acetonic Chl a solution are consistently described by the depletion of the ground state, taking the absorption cross section at the used wavelength. 相似文献

Summary The effects of pH and temperature on the activities of endoglucanase, exoglucanase and -glucosidase of C. cellulolyticum were studied. Thermal stability of these enzymes was characterized. Enzymatic hydrolyses of cellulose were performed yielding predominantly glucose and cellobiose. Glucose was shown to be a potent inhibitor of its own formation in cellulose saccharification. 相似文献

Quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence by triplets in solubilized light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) 下载免费PDF全文
The quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence by triplets in solubilized trimeric light harvesting complexes was analyzed by comparative pump-probe experiments that monitor with weak 2-ns probe pulses the fluorescence yield and changes of optical density, DeltaOD, induced by 2-ns pump pulses. By using a special array for the measurement of the probe fluorescence (Sch?del R., F. Hillman, T. Schr?tter, K.-D. Irrgang, J. Voight, and G. Biophys. J. 71:3370-3380) the emission caused by the pump pulses could be drastically reduced so that even at highest pump pulse intensities, IP, no significant interference with the signal due to the probe pulse was observed. The data obtained reveal: a) at a fixed time delay of 50 ns between pump and probe pulse the fluorescence yield of the latter drastically decreased with increasing IP, b) the recovery of the fluorescence yield in the microseconds time domain exhibits kinetics which are dependent on IP, c) DeltaOD at 507 nm induced by the pump pulse and monitored by the probe pulse with a delay of 50 ns (reflecting carotenoid triplets) increases with IP without reaching a saturation level at highest IP values, d) an analogous feature is observed for the bleaching at 675 nm but it becomes significant only at very high IP values, e) the relaxation of DeltaOD at 507 nm occurs via a monophasic kinetics at all IP values whereas DeltaOD at 675 nm measured under the same conditions is characterized by a biphasic kinetics with tau values of about 1 microseconds and 7-9 microseconds. The latter corresponds with the monoexponential decay kinetics of DeltaOD at 507 nm. Based on a Stern-Volmer plot, the time-dependent fluorescence quenching is compared with the relaxation kinetics of triplets. It is shown that the fluorescence data can be consistently described by a quenching due to triplets. 相似文献

Mitochondrial DNAs of six morphologically different Phytophthora species were digested with 15 restriction enzymes. The numbers of restriction fragments obtained differed considerably from those theoretically expected for random base distribution. Enzymes with relatively many G and C in their recognition sequences produced significantly larger numbers of fragments. Moreover, fragments generated by most of these enzymes were more often shared by two or more species than those from enzymes with more A and T in their recognition sequence. It is concluded that base distribution in mitochondrial DNA of Phytophthora is heterogeneous,AT-rich stretches occurring scattered over the mitochondrial genome and GC-rich regions present in conserved sequences, presumably genes. A practical consequence for taxonomic RFLP studies is that optimal enzymes can be selected, depending on the desired level of resolution. 相似文献

The 18S ribosomal RNAs of 21 tetrapods were sequenced and aligned with five
published tetrapod sequences. When the coelacanth was used as an outgroup,
Lissamphibia (living amphibians) and Amniota (amniotes) were found to be
statistically significant monophyletic groups. Although little resolution
was obtained among the lissamphibian taxa, the amniote sequences support a
sister-group relationship between birds and mammals. Portions of the 28S
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule in 11 tetrapods also were sequenced, although
the phylogenetic results were inconclusive. In contrast to previous
studies, deletion or down- weighting of base-paired sites were found to
have little effect on phylogenetic relationships. Molecular evidence for
amniote relationships is reviewed, showing that three genes
(beta-hemoglobin, myoglobin, and 18S rRNA) unambiguously support a
bird-mammal relationship, compared with one gene (histone H2B) that favors
a bird- crocodilian clade. Separate analyses of four other genes (alpha-
crystallin A, alpha-hemoglobin, insulin, and 28S rRNA) and a combined
analysis of all sequence data are inconclusive, in that different groups
are defined in different analyses and none are strongly supported. It is
suggested that until sequences become available from a broader array of
taxa, the molecular evidence is best evaluated at the level of individual
genes, with emphasis placed on those studies with the greatest number of
taxa and sites. When this is done, a bird-mammal relationship is most
strongly supported. When regarded in combination with the morphological
evidence for this association, it must be considered at least as plausible
as a bird-crocodilian relationship.

Spores ofPenicillium raistrickii immobilized by gel entrapment, microencapsulation and surface adsorption were allowed to grow into mycelial form, in order
to accomplish hydroxylation of 13-ethylgon-4-en-3,17-dione at the 15α-position. The hydroxylating activity of both free and
immobilized cells at different pH and substrate concentration as well as under starvation conditions was studied. The productivity
of cells immobilized by several techniques is compared. 相似文献

Stepwise two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) spectra of the photosynthetic antenna complexes PCP, CP47, CP29, and light-harvesting complex II (LHC II) were measured. TPEF emitted from higher excited states of chlorophyll (Chl) a and b was elicited via consecutive absorption of two photons in the Chl a/b Qy range induced by tunable 100-fs laser pulses. Global analyses of the TPEF line shapes with a model function for monomeric Chl a in a proteinaceous environment allow distinction between contributions from monomeric Chls a and b, strongly excitonically coupled Chls a, and Chl a/b heterodimers/-oligomers. The analyses indicate that the longest wavelength-absorbing Chl species in the Qy region of LHC II is a Chl a homodimer with additional contributions from adjacent Chl b. Likewise, in CP47 a spectral form at approximately 680 nm (that is, however, not the red-most species) is also due to strongly coupled Chls a. In contrast to LHC II, the red-most Chl subband of CP29 is due to a monomeric Chl a. The two Chls b in CP29 exhibit marked differences: a Chl b absorbing at approximately 650 nm is not excitonically coupled to other Chls. Based on this finding, the refractive index of its microenvironment can be determined to be 1.48. The second Chl b in CP29 (absorbing at approximately 640 nm) is strongly coupled to Chl a. Implications of the findings with respect to excitation energy transfer pathways and rates are discussed. Moreover, the results will be related to most recent structural analyses. 相似文献
