The structural gene (leudh) coding for leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus sphaericus IFO 3525 was cloned into Escherichia coli cells and sequenced. The open reading frame coded for a protein of 39.8 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of the leucine dehydrogenase from B. sphaericus showed 76–79% identity with those of leucine dehydrogenases from other sources. About 16% of the amino acid residues of the deduced amino acid sequence were different from the sequence obtained by X-ray analysis of the B. sphaericus enzyme. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity with a 79% yield. The enzyme was a homooctamer (340 kDa) and showed the activity of 71.7 μmol·min−1·mg−1) of protein. The mutant enzymes, in which more than six amino acid residues were deleted from the C-terminal of the enzyme, showed no activity. The mutant enzyme with deletion of four amino acid residues from the C-terminal of the enzyme was a dimer and showed 4.5% of the activity of the native enzyme. The dimeric enzyme was more unstable than the native enzyme, and the Km values for -leucine and NAD+ increased. These results suggest that the Asn-Ile-Leu-Asn residues of the C-terminal region of the enzyme play an important role in the subunit interaction of the enzyme.  相似文献

A thermostable, alkaline active xylanase was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of an alkaliphilic Bacillus halodurans S7, which was isolated from a soda lake in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The molecular weight and the pI of this enzyme were estimated to be around 43 kDa and 4.5, respectively. When assayed at 70 °C, it was optimally active at pH 9.0–9.5. The optimum temperature for the activity was 75 °C at pH 9 and 70 °C at pH 10. The enzyme was stable over a broad pH range and showed good thermal stability when incubated at 65 °C in pH 9 buffer. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Mn2+. Partial inhibition was also observed in the presence of 5 mM Cu2+, Co2+ and EDTA. Inhibition by Hg2+ and dithiothreitol was insignificant. The enzyme was free from cellulase activity and degraded xylan in an endo-fashion.  相似文献

Chaetomium thermophilum CT2 produced endocellulases at 50 °C, when grown on 2% microcrystalline cellulose, 1% soluble starch, and 0.4% yeast extract medium. A major endocellulase component was purified to homogeneity by fractional ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-100. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 67.8 kDa and the enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein containing 18.9% carbohydrate. The Km of the purified enzyme for carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium salt (CMC), was 4.6 mg ml−1. The enzyme displayed highest activity towards CMC and significantly lower activities towards phosphoric acid swollen cellulose and filter paper. The activity was enhanced in the presence of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ but inhibited by Hg2+, Zn2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Mg2+ and NH4+. Optimum activity was at 60 °C and pH 4.0. The enzyme was stable over 60 min incubation at 60 °C and half-life at 70, 80 and 90 °C was approximately 45, 24 and 7 min, respectively.  相似文献

A highly purified preparation of an NAD(P) reductase was obtained from Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum and some of its properties were studied. The enzyme possesses FAD as the prosthetic group, and reduces benzyl viologen, 2,6-dichloro-phenolindophenol and cytochromes c, including cytochrome c-555 (C. thiosulfato-philum), with NADPH or NADH as the electron donor. It reduces NADP+ or NAD+ photosynthetically with spinach chloroplasts in the presence of added spinach ferredoxin. It reduces the pyridine nucleotides with reduced benzyl viologen. The enzyme also shows a pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase activity. In these reactions, the type of pyridine nucleotide (NADP or NAD) which functions more efficiently with the enzyme varies with the concentration of the nucleotide used; at concentrations lower than approx. 1.0 mM, NADPH (or NADP+) is better electron donor (or acceptor), while NADH (or NAD+) is a better electron donor (or acceptor) at concentrations higher than approx. 1.0 mM. Reduction of dyes or cytochromes c catalysed by the enzyme is strongly inhibited by NADP+, 2′-AMP and and atebrin.  相似文献

Heterogeneity of ginsenosides is an interesting and important issue because those structure-similar secondary metabolites have different or even totally opposite pharmacological activities. In this work, a new enzyme UDP-glucose:ginsenoside Rd glucosyltransferase (UGRdGT), which catalyzes the formation of ginsenoside Rb1 from ginsenoside Rd [Biotechnol. Bioeng. 89: 444–52, 2005], was purified approximately 145-fold from suspended cells of Panax notoginseng with an overall yield of 0.2%. Purification to apparent homogeneity, as judged by SDS-PAGE, was successfully achieved by using sequential ammonium sulphate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography and native PAGE. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 36 kDa, and its activity was optimal at pH 8.5 and 35 °C. The enzyme activity was enhanced by Mn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+, but strongly inhibited by Zn2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+. The apparent Km value for UDP-glucose and ginsenoside Rd was 0.32 and 0.14 mM, respectively. The biotransformation yield from ginsenoside Rd to Rb1 by UGRdGT in 50 mM Tris–HCl buffer at pH 8.5 and 35 °C was over 80%. This work provides a basis for further molecular study on the ginsenoside Rb1 biosynthesis by P. notoginseng cells and it is also useful for potential application to in vitro biotransformation from ginsenoside Rd to Rb1.  相似文献

NAD(P)-dependent glucose-1-dehydrogenase (GDH) has been used for glucose determination and NAD(P)H production in bioreactors. Thermostable glucose dehydrogenase exhibits potential advantage for its application in biological processes. The function of the putative GDH gene (ST1704, 360-encoding amino acids) annotated from the total genome analysis of a thermoacidophilic archeaon Sulfolobus tokodaii strain 7 was investigated to develop more effective application of GDH. The gene encoding S. tokodaii GDH was cloned and the activity was expressed in Escherichia coli, which did not originally possess GDH. This shows that the gene (ST1704) codes the sequence of GDH. The enzyme was effectively purified from the recombinant E. coli with three steps containing a heat treatment and two successive chromatographies. The native enzyme (molecular mass: 160 kDa) is composed of a tetrameric structure with a type of subunit (41 kDa). The enzyme utilized both NAD and NADP as the coenzyme. The maximum activity for glucose oxidation in the presence of NAD was observed around pH 9 and 75 °C in the presence of 20 mM Mg2+. The enzyme showed broad substrate specificity: several monosaccarides such as 6-deoxy- -glucose, 2-amino-2-deoxy- -glucose and -xylose were oxidized as well as -glucose as the electron donor. -Mannose, -ribose and glucose-6-phosphate were inert as the donor. The enzyme showed high thermostability: remarkable loss of activity was not observed up to 80 °C by incubation for 15 min at pH 8.0. In addition, the enzyme was stable in a wide pH range of 5.0–10.5 by incubation at 37 °C. From the steady-state kinetic analysis, the enzyme reaction of -glucose oxidation proceeds via a sequential ordered Bi–Bi mechanism: NAD and -glucose bind to the enzyme in this order and then -glucono-1,5-lactone and NADH are released from the enzyme in this order. The amino acid sequence alignment showed that S. tokodaii GDH exhibited high homology with the Sulfolobus solfataricus hypothetical glucose dehydrogenase and a Thermoplasma acidophilum one.  相似文献

A new formaldehyde-selective biosensor was constructed using NAD+- and glutathione-dependent recombinant formaldehyde dehydrogenase as a bio-recognition element immobilised on the surface of Si/SiO2/Si3N4 structure. Sensor's response to formaldehyde was evaluated by capacitance measurements. The calibration curves obtained for formaldehyde concentration range from 10 μM to 20 mM showed a broad linear response with a sensitivity of 31 mV/decade and a detection limit about 10 μM. It has been shown that the output signal decreases with the increase of borate buffer concentration and the best sensitivity is observed in 2.5 mM borate buffer, pH 8.40. The response of the created formaldehyde-sensitive biosensor has also been examined in 2.5 mM Tris–HCl buffer, and the shift to the positive bias of the C(V) curves along with the potential axis has been observed, but the sensitivity of the biosensor in this buffer is decreased dramatically to the value of 2.4 mV/decade.  相似文献

NAD+ kinase (ATP: NAD+ 2-phosphotransferase, EC2.7.1.23) isolated from chicken liver was immobilized on a silica-based support possessing aldehyde functional groups. The highest catalytic activity achieved was 16 U g−1 solid. The optimal pH for the catalytic activity of the immobilized NAD+ kinase was pH 7.1–7.3. The apparent optimum temperature for the immobilized enzyme was about 5°C higher than that of the soluble enzyme. There were no significant differences in the Km app values. The immobilization improved the conformational stability of the enzyme. In preliminary experiments, a 95% conversion of NAD+ to NADP+ was achieved with use of the immobilized NAD+ kinase, which preserved its starting activity practically unchanged up to 36 days.  相似文献

Reverse micelles were used as a cytoplasmic model to study the kinetics of an extreme halophilic enzyme such as the recombinant glucose dehydrogenase from the Archaeon Haloferax mediterranei. This enzyme was solubilized in reverse micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammoniumbromide in cyclohexane, with 1-butanol as co-surfactant. Glucose dehydrogenase retained its catalytic properties in this organic medium, showing good stability at low water content, even at low salt concentration (125 mM NaCl). The dependence of the enzymatic activity on the molar water surfactant ratio (w0=[H2O]/[surfactant]) increased with rising water content. Surprisingly, the activity of this extreme halophilic enzyme did not depend on the salt concentration in reverse micelles. The kinetic of the enzymatic oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-1,5-lactone using NADP+ as coenzyme for the glucose dehydrogenase from Haloferax mediterranei was also studied in the reverse micellar system.  相似文献

An intracellular nitrilase was purified from a Fusarium solani O1 culture, in which the enzyme (up to 3000 U L−1) was induced by 2-cyanopyridine. SDS-PAGE revealed one major band corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa. Peptide mass fingerprinting suggested a high similarity of the protein with the putative nitrilase from Gibberella moniliformis. Electron microscopy revealed that the enzyme molecules associated into extended rods. The enzyme showed high specific activities towards benzonitrile (156 U mg−1) and 4-cyanopyridine (203 U mg−1). Other aromatic nitriles (3-chlorobenzonitrile, 3-hydroxybenzonitrile) also served as good substrates for the enzyme. The rates of hydrolysis of aliphatic nitriles (methacrylonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, valeronitrile) were 14–26% of that of benzonitrile. The nitrilase was active within pH 5–10 and at up to 50 °C with optima at pH 8.0 and 40–45 °C. Its activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2+ and Ag+ ions. More than half of the enzyme activity was preserved at up to 50% of n-hexane or n-heptane or at up to 15% of xylene or ethanol. Operational stability of the enzyme was examined by the conversion of 45 mM 4-cyanopyridine in a continuous and stirred ultrafiltration-membrane reactor. The nitrilase half-life was 277 and 10.5 h at 35 and 45 °C, respectively.  相似文献

Effects of Mg2+ ions on thermally induced conformational transitions in the synthetic poly(dA)·poly(dT) and poly(dA)·2poly(dT) were studied in the buffered solutions (pH 6.9), containing 0.1 or 1 M NaCl at polynucleotide concentration of 0.1–0.3 mM (in nucleic bases). The experiments consist of measurements of the UV absorption and intensity of conventional visible static light scattering. The diagram of conformational transitions in the poly(dA)–poly(dT)–Mg2+ system was constructed on a basis of experimental data obtained. Anomalously strong light scattering, like critical opalescence, has been revealed at 0.1 M NaCl and [Mg2+]≥20 mM in the melting range of both polynucleotides, which eventually disappeared after the completion of polymer strands separation. The effect presumably is caused by a fluctuation process of polymer strands complexing which arises at a certain concentration of Mg2+ ions.  相似文献

An alginate lyase with high specific enzyme activity was purified from Vibrio sp. YKW-34, which was newly isolated from turban shell gut. The alginate lyase was purified by in order of ion exchange, hydrophobic and gel filtration chromatographies to homogeneity with a recovery of 7% and a fold of 25. This alginate lyase was composed of a single polypeptide chain with molecular mass of 60 kDa and isoelectric point of 5.5–5.7. The optimal pH and temperature for alginate lyase activity were pH 7.0 and 40 °C, respectively. The alginate lyase was stable over pH 7.0–10.0 and at temperature below 50 °C. The alginate lyase had substrate specificity for both poly-guluronate and poly-mannuronate units. The kcat/Km value for alginate (heterotype) was 1.7 × 106 s−1 M−1. The enzyme activity was completely lost by dialysis and restored by addition of Na+ or K+. The optimal activity exhibited in 0.1 M of Na+ or K+. This enzyme was resistant to denaturing reagents (SDS and urea), reducing reagents (β-mercaptoethanol and DTT) and chelating reagents (EGTA and EDTA).  相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PD100 capable of producing an extracellular protease was isolated from the soil collected from local area (garbage site) from Shivage market in Pune, India. The purified protease showed a single band on native and SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of 36 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH value and temperature range were found to be 8 and 55–60 °C, respectively. The enzyme exhibited broad range of substrate specificity with higher activity for collagen. The enzyme was inhibited with low concentration of Ag2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+. β-Mercaptoethanol was able to inactivate the enzyme at 2.5 mM, suggesting that disulfide bond(s) play a critical role in the enzyme activity. Studies with inhibitors showed that different classes of protease inhibitors, known to inhibit specific proteases, could not inhibit the activity of this protease. Amino acid modification studies data and pKa values showed that Cys, His and Trp were involved in the protease activity. P. aeruginosa PD100 produces one form of protease with some different properties as compared to other reported proteases from P. aeruginosa strains. With respect to properties of the purified protease such as pH optimum, temperature stability with capability to degrade different proteins, high stability in the presences of detergents and chemicals, and metal ions independency, suggesting that it has great potential for different applications.  相似文献

A gene encoding a putative ATP-dependent DNA ligase from the aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1 was cloned and the biochemical characteristics of the resulting recombinant protein were examined. The gene (accession no. APE1094) from A. pernix encoding a 69-kDa protein showed a 39–61% identity with other ATP-dependent DNA ligases from the archaea. Normally DNA ligase is activated by NAD+ or ATP. There has been no report about the other activators for DNA ligase. The recombinant ligase was a monomeric protein and catalyzed strand joining on a singly nicked DNA substrate in the presence of ADP and a divalent cation (Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+ and Co2+) at high temperature. The optimum temperature and pH for nick-closing activity were above 70°C and 7.5°C, respectively. The ligase remained stable for 60 min of treatment at 100°C, and the half-life was about 25 min at 110°C. This is the first report of a novel hyperthermostable DNA ligase that can utilize ADP to activate the enzyme.  相似文献

An extracellular protease was produced under stress conditions of high temperature and high salinity by a newly isolated moderate halophile, Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 in a basal medium containing peptone, beef extract, glucose and NaCl. A modification of Kunitz method was used for protease assay. The isolate was capable of producing protease in the presence of sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, potassium chloride, sodium acetate and sodium citrate. The maximum protease was secreted in the presence of 7.5 to 10% (w/v) sodium sulfate or 3% (w/v) sodium acetate (4.6 U ml−1). Various carbon sources including glucose, lactose, casein and peptone were capable of inducing enzyme production. The optimum pH, temperature and aeration for enzyme production were 9.0, 32 °C and 220 rpm, respectively. The enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximum level during the mid-stationary phase. Maximum protease activity was exhibited in the medium containing 1% (w/v) NaCl at 60 °C, with 18% and 41% activity reductions at temperature 50 and 70 °C, respectively. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 8.5, with 86% and 75% residual activities at pH 10 and 6, respectively. The activity of enzyme was inhibited by EDTA. These results suggest that the protease secreted by Salinivibrio sp. strain AF-2004 is industrially important from the perspectives of its activity at a broad pH ranges (5.0–10.0), its moderate thermoactivity in addition to its high tolerance to a wide range of salt concentration (0–10% NaCl).  相似文献

Cordyceps militaris mycelium produced mainly Cu, Zn containing superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD). Cu, Zn-SOD activity was detectable in the culture filtrates, and intracellular Cu, Zn-SOD activity as a proportion protein was highest in early log phase culture. The effects of Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Fe2+ on enzyme biosynthesis were studied. The Cu, Zn-SOD was isolated and purified to homogeneity from C. militaris mycelium and partially characterized. The purification was performed through four steps: (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-sepharose™ fast flow anion-exchange chromatography, CM-650 cation-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 35070 ± 400 Da and consisted of two equal-sized subunits each having a Cu and Zn element. Isoelectric point value of 7.0 was obtained for the purified enzyme. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme was determined for 12 amino acid residues and the sequences was compared with other Cu, Zn-SODs. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was obtained to be 8.2–8.8. The purified enzyme remained stable at pH 5.8–9.8, 25 °C and up to 50 °C at pH 7.8 for 1.5 h incubation. The purified enzyme was sensitive to H2O2, KCN. 2.5 mM NaN3, PMSF, Triton X-100, β-mercaptoethanol and DTT showed no significant inhibition effect on the purified enzyme within 5 h incubation period.  相似文献

We tentatively named two enzymes as BbaI and BleI, which were isolated and purified from Gram-positive mesophilic bacteria Bacillus badius 1458 and Bacillus lentus 1689 respectively, by ammonium sulphate precipitation, phosphocellulose and heparin-sepharose column chromatography. SDS-PAGE protein profiles for BbaI and BleI showed denatured molecular weights of 52 and 48 kDa, respectively. BbaI hydrolyzed pUC18 DNA into 1900 and 700 bp, pBR322 DNA into two fragments of 2800 and 1500 bp and Φ×174 DNA into 3800 and 1600 bp. BleI hydrolyzed pUC18 DNA into 1800 and 800 bp, pBR322 DNA into two fragments of 2700 and 1600 bp and Φ×174 DNA into 3700 and 1700 bp. The effects of temperature, ionic strength, pH and Mg2+ ion concentrations were studied to demonstrate some biochemical properties of BbaI and BleI. Maximum activities of these enzymes were observed at 37 °C (pH 8.0) with 100 mM NaCl and 10 mM Mg2+ concentrations.  相似文献

The purification and characterization of xylanase from Aspergillus ficuum AF-98 were investigated in this work. The extracellular xylanase from this fungal was purified 32.6-fold to homogeneity throughout the precipitation with 50–80% (NH4)2SO4, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The purified xylanase (specific activity at 288.7 U/ mg protein) was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 35.0 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The optimal temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were at 45 °C and 5.0, respectively. The xylanase was activated by Cu2+ up to 115.8% of activity, and was strongly inhibited by Hg2+, Pb2+ up to 52.8% and 89%, respectively. The xylanase exhibited Km and Vmax values of 3.267 mg/mL, 18.38 M/min/mg for beechwood xylan and 3.747 mg/mL, 11.1 M/min/mg for birchwood xylan, respectively.  相似文献

A protease-producing bacterium, strain TKU010, was isolated from infant vomited milk and identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei. A surfactant-stable protease, purified 64-fold from the third day culture supernatant to homogeneity in an overall yield of 11%, has a molecular weight of about 49,000. The enzyme degraded casein and gelatin, but did not degrade albumin, fibrin, and elastin. The enzyme activity was increased about 1.5-fold by the addition of 5 mM Ba2+. However, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions strongly inhibited the enzyme. The enzyme was maximally active at pH 10 and 60 °C and retained 94% and 71% activity in the presence of Tween 20 (2% w/v) and SDS (2 mM), respectively. The result of identification of TKU010 protease showed that nine tryptic peptides were identical to Serratia protease (serralysin) (GenBank accession number gi999638) with 35% sequence coverage. In comparison with the tryptic peptides of L. paracasei subsp. paracasei TKU012 protease, TKU010 protease possessed two additional peptides with sequences of AATTGYDAVDDLLHYHER and QTFTHEIGHALGLSHPGDYNAGEGNPTYR. The fourth day culture supernatant of TKU010 showed maximal activity of about 5-fold growth enhancing effect on lettuce weight, which was not shown with L. paracasei subsp paracasei TKU012.  相似文献

A pot experiment was carried out under glasshouse conditions with melon (Cucumis melo) cv. “Tempo F1” in a mixture of peat, perlite and sand (1:1:1) to investigate the effects of external proline and potassium nitrate applications to salinity-treated (150 mM) plants with respect to fruit yield, plant growth, some physiological parameters and ion uptake. Treatments were—(i) control (C): plants receiving nutrient solution, (ii) salinity treatment, as for control plus 150 mM NaCl. Salinity treatment was combined with or without either 5 mM supplementary KNO3 or 10 mM proline. The salt treatment (150 mM NaCl) led to significant decreases in plant growth, fruit yield, relative water content (RWC), stomatal density, uptake of Ca2+, K+ and N, and chlorophyll a and b contents, accompanied by significant increases in Na+ uptake, proline concentration and membrane permeability. Supplementary KNO3 and proline treatments significantly ameliorated the adverse effects of salinity on plant growth, fruit yield and the physiological parameters examined. This could be attributed to the effects of all the external supplements in maintaining membrane permeability, and increasing concentrations of Ca2+, N and K+ in the leaves of plants subjected to salt stress.  相似文献
