The 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) synthetase activities of cell-free extracts from various bacteria were investigated. The experiments on the substrate specificity of KAPA synthetase, using crude cell-free extracts from bacteria having high enzyme activity, showed that l-serine and pyruvic acid could replace l-alanine, but that, when the enzyme was partially purified, these compounds were not effective. Many kinds of amino acids such as l-cysteine, l-serine, d-alanine, glycine, d-histidine, and l-histidine, inhibited the enzyme activity. This inhibition was found to be competitive with l-alanine. Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, which is a cofactor of the enzyme, also inhibited the enzyme activity at high concentrations. The repression of KAPA synthetase by biotin occurred in Bacillus subtilis and B. sphaericus but not in Micrococcus roseus and Pseudomonas fluorescens, even at a concentration of 1000 mµg per ml of biotin. 相似文献

3-Methylthiopropylamine (MTPA) formation from l-methionine in Streptomyces sp. K37 was studied in detail. The reaction was confirmed to be catalyzed by the decarboxylase of l-methionine. The properties of the enzyme were studied in detail using acetone dried cells or cell-free extract. The enzyme was specific for l-methionine. Pyridoxal phosphate stimulated the reaction and protected the enzyme against heat inactivation. The optimum pH for the reaction was 6.0~8.0 and the optimum temperature was about 40°C. Carbonyl reagents (10?2~10?3 m) inhibited the reaction completely, and silver nitrate and mercuric chloride (10?3~10?4 m) markedly inhibited the reaction. Km value for the reaction was 1.21 × 10?5 m. l-Methionine assay using the decarboxylase was attempted and was found to be applicable to practical use. 相似文献

Ethionine-resistant mutants derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum KY 9276 (Thr?) were found to accumulate l-methionine in culture media. One of the mutants, ER-107-4, which produced 250 μg/ml of l-methionine was subjected to further mutagenesis to obtain better l-methionine producers. l-Methionine production increased stepwise by successive endowing such markers as selenomethionine, 1,2,4-triazole, trifluoromethionine and methionine hydroxamate resistance. Thus, a mutant multi-resistant to ethionine, selenomethionine and methionine hydroxamate, ESLMR-724, produced 2 mg/ml of l-methionine in a medium containing 10% glucose.Increase of l-methionine production was accompanied by increased levels and reduced repressibility of methionine-forming enzymes. The levels of methionine enzymes in ESLMR-724 increased to 2.5~4.2 fold of those in KY9276, In addition, homoserine-O-trans-acetylase and cystathionine γ-synthase which were strongly repressed by l-methionine in KY 9276 were stimulated by exogenous l-methionine in ESLMR-724. Implications of these results were discussed in relation to the productivity of l-methionine and the regulation of l-methionine biosynthesis. 相似文献

l-Fucose (l-galactose) dehydrogenase was isolated to homogeneity from a cell-free extract of Pseudomonas sp. No 1143 and purified about 380-fold with a yield of 23 %. The purification procedures were: treatment with polyethyleneimine, ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatographies on phenyl-Sepharose and DEAE-Sephadex, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 34,000. The optimum pH was at 9 — 10.5 and the isoelectric point was at pH 5.1. l-Fucose and l-galactose were effective substrates for the enzyme reaction, but d-arabinose was not so much. The anomeric requirement of the enzyme to l-fucose was the β-pyranose form, and the reaction product from l-fucose was l-fucono- lactone. The hydrogen acceptor for the enzyme reaction wasNADP+, and NAD + could be substituted for it to a very small degree. Km values were 1.9mm, 19mm, 0.016mm, and 5.6mm for l-fucose, l- galactose, NADP+, and NAD+, respectively. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2 +, Cd2 +, and PCMB, but metal-chelating reagents had almost no effect. In a preliminary experiment, it was indicated that the enzyme may be usable for the measurement of l-fucose. 相似文献

Regulatory properties of the enzymes in l-tyrosine and l-phenyalanine terminal pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum were investigated. Prephenate dehydrogenase was partially feedback inhibited by l-tyrosine. Prephenate dehydratase was strongly inhibited by l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan and 100% inhibition was attained at the concentrations of 5 × 10?2mm and 10?1mm, respectively. l-Tyrosine stimulated prephenate dehydratase activity (6-fold stimulation at 1 mm) and restored the enzyme activity inhibited by l-phenylalanine or l-tryptophan. These regulations seem to give the balanced synthesis of l-tyrosine and l-phenyl-alanine. Prephenate dehydratase from C. glutamicum was stimulated by l-methionine and l-leucine similarly to the enzyme in Bacillus subtilis and moreover by l-isoleucine and l-histidine. C. glutamicum mutant No. 66, an l-phenylalanine producer resistant to p-fluorophenyl-alanine, had a prephenate dehydratase completely resistant to the inhibition by l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan. 相似文献

A large amount of O-acetyl-l-homoserine (OAH) was found to be produced by trifluo-romethionine-resistant mutants derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum ESLR–146 (Thr?,ethionineR, selenomethionineR) and ETzR–606(Thr?,ethionineR, 1,2,4-triazoleR) by mutational treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate. Some cultural conditions for OAH production were examined with one of the mutants, ESLFR-736, which was derived from ESLR–146. Addition of l-methionine or l-serine decreased OAH production. Optimal level of l-threo- nine, a growth factor in ESLFR–736, for OAH production was about 200 μg/ml, and further addition of excess l-threonine repressed OAH production. Corn steep liquor (CSL) and yeast extract added simultaneously enhanced OAH production to a great extent. Thus, the amount of OAH production reached to a level of 10.5 mg/ml with a medium containing 10% glucose and 0.01 % of both CSL and yeast extract after 2 days incubation.Cell-free extract of C. glutamicum catalyzed the formation of OAH from acetyl CoA and l-homoserine, while a corresponding reaction with succinyl CoA was hardly detected. These observations indicate that OAH but not O-succinyl-l-homoserine is an intermediate of l-methionine biosynthesis in C. glutamicum.The regulation of homoserine-O-transacetylase was examined in a methionine requiring mutant of C. glutamicum. The enzyme activity was not inhibited by l-methionine, S-adenosyl-methionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine, separately or in combination. The synthesis of homoserine-O-transacetylase was strongly repressed by l-methionine. The enzyme level in an OAH producer, ESLFR–736, increased to about 2-fold of that in ESLR–146, the parental strain. 相似文献

l-Leucine-pyruvate and l-leucine-α-ketoglutarate(α-KGA) transaminases were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and partially purified to 200- and 50-fold, respectively, from the cell-free extract of Acetobacter suboxydans (Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO 3172). The optimum pH range of the former was 5.0~5.5 and that of the latter was 8.5~9.0. l-Leucine, l-citrulline, and l-methionine were the most effective amino donors for the l-leucine-pyruvate transaminase. Basic amino acids as well as aromatic amino acids were able to be amino donors for the transamination with pyruvate. α-KGA was effective as an amino acceptor for this enzyme. The l-leucine-α-KGA transaminase had the typical properties of the branched-chain amino acid transaminase in its substrate specificity.The reaction products of the transaminations were identified. l-Alanine was formed from pyruvate and l-glutamate from α-KGA. α-Keto acids formed from various amino acids by the l-leucine-pyruvate transaminase were also identified. 相似文献

The accumulation of S-adenosylmethionine in adenine-requiring yeast cells grown in a culture medium containing dl-, l-, or d-methionine was much larger than that in cells grown in a methionine-free medium. The accumulation of S-adenosyl-d-methionine in the cells was significantly lower than that of S-adenosyl-l-methionine. When yeast cells containing a large amount of S-adenosyl-l-methionine were incubated in an adenine-free medium, adenosylmethionine was degraded, but poor and insignificant growth was observed indicating the meager nature of this compound as an adenine source. No degradation of accumulated S-adenosyl-d-methionine was detected. Isotopic experiment revealed that S-adenosyl-l-methionine in the yeast cells turned over at a considerable rate when the medium contained both adenine and l-methionine. Most of the l-methionine assimilated appears to be metabolized via S-adenosyl-l-methionine. 相似文献

Washed cells of facultative methylotrophs which have the serine pathway showed high activities for l-methionine formation from dl-homocysteine, in the presence of methanol as methyl donor. Strain FM 518, isolated from soil and identified as a bacterium belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, showed the highest activity for l-methionine formation and was used as the parental strain for breeding the l-methionine-producing mutants. An ethionine-resistant mutant, FE 244, derived from strain FM 518, accumulated 0.8 mg/ml l-methionine in a methanol-medium under optimum conditions. 相似文献

Regulatory properties of chorismate mutase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were studied using the dialyzed cell-free extract. The enzyme activity was strongly feedback inhibited by l-phenylalanine (90% inhibition at 0.1~1 mm) and almost completely by a pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine (each at 0.1~1 mm). The enzyme from phenylalanine auxotrophs was scarcely inhibited by l-tyrosine alone but the enzyme from a wild-type strain or a tyrosine auxotroph was weakly inhibited by l-tyrosine alone (40~50% inhibition, l-tyrosine at 1 mm). The enzyme activity was stimulated by l-tryptophan and the inhibition by l-phenylalanine alone or in the simultaneous presence of l-tyrosine was reversed by l-tryptophan. The Km value of the reaction for chorismate was 2.9 } 10?3 m. Formation of chorismate mutase was repressed by l-phenylalanine. A phenylalanine auxotrophic l-tyrosine producer, C. glutamicum 98–Tx–71, which is resistant to 3-amino-tyrosine, p-aminophenylanaine, p-fluorophenylalanine and tyrosine hydroxamate had chorismate mutase derepressed to two-fold level of the parent KY 10233. The enzyme in C. glutamicum seems to have two physiological roles; one is the control of the metabolic flow to l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine biosynthesis and the other is the balanced partition of chorismate between l-phenylalanine-l-tyrosine biosynthesis and l-tryptophan biosynthesis. 相似文献

7-Keto-8-aminopelargonic acid synthetase (KAPA synthetase) which catalyzes the formation of KAPA from pimelyl CoA and l-alanine, and is involved in biotin biosynthesis, was partially purified from a cell-free extract of Bacillus sphaericus by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fraction ation, protamine treatment, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The reaction product was bioautographically confirmed to be KAPA. Some properties of the enzyme were also investigated. Among the amino acids, only l-alanine was active as a substrate, condensing with pimelyl CoA, The reaction required pyridoxal phosphate but the other vitamin B6 compounds were inert. Typical inhibitors of pyridoxal phosphate enzymes showed marked inhibition to the reaction. Various amino acids such as l-cysteine, glycine, d-alanine, l-serine, l-histidine, and d-histidine were also found to be inhibitory. 相似文献

Solution containing l-leucine and l-methionine cultured by Aspergillus flavus were found to develop cheese-like flavor.α-Keto-isocaproic acid was isolated and identified from the culture of l-leucine and α-keto-β-methylmercaptobutyric acid from that of l-methionine. The flavor was also developed from the mixture of the synthetic sample of α-ketoisocaproic acid and α-keto-β-methylmercaptobutyric acid. 相似文献

l-Alanine adding enzymes from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus which catalyzed l-alanine incorporation into UDPMurNAc were partially purified and the properties of the enzymes were examined. The enzyme from B. subtilis was markedly stimulated by reducing agents including 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, glutathione and cysteine. Mn2+ and Mg2+ activated l-alanine adding activity and their optimal concentrations were 2 to 5 mm and 10 mm, respectively. The optimum pH was 9.5 and the Km for l-alanine was 1.8×10?4m. l-Alanine adding reaction was strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-ethyl-maleimide. Among glycine, l- and d-amino acids and glycine derivatives, glycine was the most effective inhibitor of the l-alanine adding reaction. The enzyme from B. cereus was more resistant to glycine than that from B. subtilis. Glycine was incorporated into UDPMurNAc in place of l-alanine, and the Ki for glycine was 4.2×l0?3m with the enzyme from B. subtilis. From these data, the growth inhibition of bacteria by glycine is discussed. 相似文献

We previously constructed an l-threonine-producing strain of E. coli W, KY8280, which is an Ile+ revertant of KY8279 which requires l-methionine, a,£-diaminopimelic acid and l-isoleucine [H. Kase et al., Agric. Biol. Chem., 35, 2089 (1971)]. From KY8280, another l-threonine-hyperproducing strain, KY8366, was obtained as an α-amino-β-hydroxy valeric acid (AHV, a threonine analog)-resistant mutant. Enzymatic analysis revealed that KY8280 constitutively expressed 8-fold higher l-threonine-sensitive aspartokinase I activity than KY8279. In addition, KY8366 constitutively expressed 13-fold higher l-lysine-sensitive aspartokinase III activity than KY8280. Such elevated levels of aspartokinases may contribute to the hyperproduction of l-threonine by these mutant strains. KY8366 produced 28 mg/ml of l-threonine in a culture medium fed with 12% glucose. 相似文献

Properties of 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthetase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were examined using the cell free extract. The optimum pH for the reaction was broad ranging from 5.5 to 7.0 and the optimum temperature was 37°C. Co2+ inhibited the enzyme activity at 20°C, whereas Co2+ apparently stimulated the enzyme activity at 37°C because the ion protected the enzyme from inactivation at 37°C. Co2+ reversed the inhibition of the enzyme activity by EDTA. The activity of DAHP synthetase was feedback inhibited only weakly by l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine or l-tryptophan alone, but was strongly inhibited synergistically by l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine. l-Tryptophan enhanced the inhibition by the pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine. Maximal inhibition was near 90 % in the simultaneous presence of the three amino acids. Sensitivity of the enzyme to the inhibitors was lost during the purification process of the enzyme or during the reaction at 37°C. Especially sensitivity to l-tryptophan was easily lost. Co2+ protected the enzyme from the desensitization. Mutants resistant to p-fluorophenylalanine plus l-tyrosine (or 3-aminotyrosine) had DAHP synthetase which was released from the feedback inhibition by the three amino acids. The formation of the enzyme was not affected by aromatic amino acids. 相似文献

Certain Streptomyces strains were found to accumulate an unknown substance in culture broth when the microorganisms were grown in the medium containing dl-methionine. The substance was isolated from the culture broth as hydrochloride and was identified as 3-methylthiopropylamine (MTPA), decarboxylated product of methionine, from its melting point, chemical composition, infrared spectrum, and other properties. Cultural conditions for MTPA formation in Streptomyces sp. K 37 were investigated. The yield of MTPA from l-methionine reached about 90% with a culture medium containing corn steep liquor. Namely, 6.47 mg of MTPA per millilitre of culture broth was produced from 10 mg of l-methionine per millilitre of the growth medium. The transforming activity was found in the cells of the early culture period. MTPA-producing activity was induced by l- methionine in the medium. d-Methionine was not utilized as a substrate of the reaction with intact cells. Optimum pH for the reaction appeared to be 6.0~8.0. 相似文献

l-Arginase (l-arginine amidinohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.1) was purified in a crystalline form from cells of Bacillus subtilis KY 3281 with an overall yield of 23.2%. The crystalline enzyme had a specific activity of 858 i.u./mg-protein and was ultracentrifugally homogeneous. It was estimated to have a molecular weight of 115,000±5000 by the method of Yphantis.The enzyme highly specific for l-arginine showed the maximum activity at pH 10 with Mn2+ ion. The Km for l-arginine was 1.35 × 10?2 m The activity was competitively inhibited by l-lysine, but not by l-ornithine and increased by the addition of Mn2+ or Co2+ ions. The stable pH and temperature ranges became wider in the presence of Mn2+ ion and l-threonine. 相似文献

Some strains of Pseudomonas was found capable of utilizing l-theanine or d-theanine as a sole nitrogen and carbon source. The cell-free extract catalyzes the hydrolysis of the amide group of the compounds and the hydrolase activity was influenced remarkably by the nitrogen source in the medium. l-Theanine and d-theanine were hydrolyzed to yield stoichiometrically l-glutamic acid and d-glutamic acid, respectively, and ethylamine, which were isolated from the reaction mixture and identified.The theanine hydrolase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was purified approximately 200-fold. It was shown that the activities of l-theanine hydrolase, d-theanine hydrolase and the heat-stable l-glutamine hydrolase and d-glutamine hydrolase are ascribed to a single enzyme, which may be regarded as a γ-glutamyltransferase from the point of view of the substrate specificity and the properties. This theanine hydrolase catalyzed the transfer of γ-glutamyl moiety of the substrates and glutathione to hydroxylamine. l-Glutamine and d-glutamine were hydrolyzed by the theanine hydrolase and also by the heat-labile enzyme of the same strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, whose properties resembled the common glutaminase. 相似文献

Better producers of l-lysine were obtained by derivation of fluoropyruvate(FP)-sensitive mutants from Brevibacterium lactofermentum AJ3990. The coexistence of FP and excess biotin synergistically stimulated l-lysine formation by washed cells. FP inhibited 50% of growth and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity of AJ3990 at 0.04 mm and 1 mm, respectively. Therefore, the synergistic effect of FP and excess biotin seems to be due to the optimization of the PDH/pyruvate carboxylase activity ratio in l-lysine biosynthesis. This was confirmed by the derivation of FP-sensitive mutants which have the optimal level of PDH activity for l-lysine production. The best producer, AJ11204, had about 27% PDH activity as compared with the parental strain and accumulated 70 g of l-lysine per liter with a conversion yield of 50% from glucose in the presence of excess biotin. 相似文献

l-ribose isomerase (L-RI) from Cellulomonas parahominis MB426 can convert l-psicose and d-tagatose to l-allose and d-talose, respectively. Partially purified recombinant L-RI from Escherichia coli JM109 was immobilized on DIAION HPA25L resin and then utilized to produce l-allose and d-talose. Conversion reaction was performed with the reaction mixture containing 10% l-psicose or d-tagatose and immobilized L-RI at 40 °C. At equilibrium state, the yield of l-allose and d-talose was 35.0% and 13.0%, respectively. Immobilized enzyme could convert l-psicose to l-allose without remarkable decrease in the enzyme activity over 7 times use and d-tagatose to d-talose over 37 times use. After separation and concentration, the mixture solution of l-allose and d-talose was concentrated up to 70% and crystallized by keeping at 4 °C. l-Allose and d-talose crystals were collected from the syrup by filtration. The final yield was 23.0% l-allose and 7.30% d-talose that were obtained from l-psicose and d-tagatose, respectively. 相似文献
