A derivative of the flavoprotein pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase has been described recently (Thorpe, C., and Williams, C.H. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 3553-3557), in which 1 of the 2 cysteine residues generated on reduction of the intrachain active center disulfide bridge is selectively alkylated with iodoacetamide. This monolabeled enzyme exhibits a spectrum of oxidized bound flavin. The addition of 1 mM NAD+ to this derivative at pH 8.3 causes a decrease in absorbance of approximately 50% at 448 nm, with a concomitant increase at 380 nm. These spectral changes are complete within 3 ms and are reversible. NAD+ titrations generate isosbestic points at 408, 374, and 327 nm; allowing values for the apparent dissociation constant for NAD+ and the extent of bleaching at infinite ligand to be obtained from double reciprocal plots. Between pH 6.1 and 8.8, the apparent KD decreases from 320 to 35 muM, whereas the extrapolated delta epsilon 448 values remain approximately constant at 1/2 epsilon 448. Direct measurement of NAD+ binding by gel filtration at pH 8.8 indicates that the spectral changes are associated with a stoichiometry of 1.2 mol of NAD+ bound/2 mol of FAD. The modified protein is a dimer containing 1 FAD and 1 alkylated cysteine residue/subunit; the native enzyme is also dimeric. The visible spectrum of the species absorbing at 380 nm, approximated by correction for the residual oxidized FAD, shows a single maximum at 384 nm, epsilon 384 = 8.7 mM-1cm-1. Comparison of this spectrum with that of model compounds of known structure suggests that it may represent a reversible covalent flavin adduct induced on binding NAD+.  相似文献

Purification and properties of NADH oxidase from Bacillus megaterium   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
NADH oxidase, which catalyzes the oxidation of NADH, with the consumption of a stoichiometric amount of oxygen, to NAD+ and hydrogen peroxide was purified from Bacillus megaterium by 5'-AMP Sepharose affinity chromatography to homogeneity. The enzyme is a dimeric protein containing 1 mol of FAD per mol of subunit, Mr = 52,000. The absorption maxima of the native enzyme (oxidized form) were found at 270, 383, and 450 with a shoulder at 475 nm in 50 mM KPi buffer, pH 7.0. The visible absorption bands at 383 and 450 nm disappeared on the addition of NADH under anaerobic conditions and reappeared upon the introduction of air. Thus, the non-covalently bound FAD functioned as a prosthetic group for the enzyme. We tentatively named this new enzyme NADH oxidase (NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase, hydrogen peroxide forming). This enzyme stereospecifically oxidizes the pro-S hydrogen at C-4 of the pyridine ring of NADH.  相似文献

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) adenylyltransferase has been purified to homogeneity from baker's yeast crude extract. The purification procedure is relatively simple and consists of high-salt extraction of enzyme activity and precipitation with poly(ethylenimine), followed by ion-exchange and dye ligand chromatography separations. The final enzyme preparation is homogeneous as judged by a single Coomassie blue stainable band when run on nondenaturating and denaturating polyacrylamide gels. The native enzyme shows a molecular weight of about 200 000, calculated by gel filtration and sucrose gradient centrifugation. The protein possesses quaternary structure and is composed of four apparently identical Mr 50 000 subunits. The absorption spectrum shows a maximum at 280 nm and a minimum at 253 nm. The isoelectric point is 6.2. Amino acid composition analysis shows the presence of 28 half-cystine residues. The same result has been obtained by titrating the enzyme in denaturating conditions with Ellman's reagent after incubation with sodium borohydride. NMN adenylyltransferase is a glycoprotein containing 2% sugar, 2 mol of alkali-labile phosphate per mole of enzyme, and 1 mol of adenine moiety per mole of enzyme. Therefore, the possibility that the enzyme is ADP-ribosylated exists. The Km values for ATP, NMN, and nicotinate mononucleotide are 0.11 mM, 0.19 nM, and 5 mM, respectively. Kinetic analysis reveals a behavior that is consistent with an ordered sequential Bi-Bi mechanism. The pH optimum is in the range 7.2-8.4.  相似文献

UDPgalactose 4-epimerase from Escherichia coli is rapidly inactivated by the compounds uridine 5'-diphosphate chloroacetol (UDC) and uridine 5'-diphosphate bromoacetol (UDB). Both UDC and UDB inactivate the enzyme in neutral solution concomitant with the appearance of chromophores absorbing maximally at 325 and 328 nm, respectively. The reaction of UDC with the enzyme follows saturation kinetics characterized by a KD of 0.110 mM and kinact of 0.84 min-1 at pH 8.5 and ionic strength 0.2 M. The inactivation by UDC is competitively inhibited by competitive inhibitors of UDPgalactose 4-epimerase, and it is accompanied by the tight but noncovalent binding of UDC to the enzyme in a stoichiometry of 1 mol of UDC/mol of enzyme dimer, corresponding to 1 mol of UDC/mol of enzyme-bound NAD+. The inactivation of epimerase by uridine 5'-diphosphate [2H2]chloroacetol proceeds with a primary kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD) of 1.4. The inactivation mechanism is proposed to involve a minimum of three steps: (a) reversible binding of UDC to the active site of UDPgalactose 4-epimerase; (b) enolization of the chloroacetol moiety of enzyme-bound UDC, catalyzed by an enzymic general base at the active site; (c) alkylation of the nicotinamide ring of NAD+ at the active site by the chloroacetol enolate. The resulting adduct between UDC and NAD+ is proposed to be the chromophore with lambda max at 325 nm. The enzymic general base required to facilitate proton transfer in redox catalysis by this enzyme may be the general base that facilitates enolization of the chloroacetol moiety of UDC in the inactivation reaction.  相似文献

The activity of taurine: alpha-ketoglutarate aminotransferase (taurine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.55) from Achromobacter superficialis is significantly diminished by treatment of the enzyme with (NH4)2SO4 in the course of purification, and recovered by incubation with pyridoxal phosphate at high temperatures such as 60 degrees C. The inactive form of enzyme absorbing at 280 and 345 nm contains 3 mol of pyridoxal phosphate per mol. The activated enzyme contains additional 1 mol of pyridoxal phosphate with a maximum at 430 nm. This peak is shifted to about 400 nm as a shoulder by dialysis of the enzyme, but the activity is not influenced. The inactive form is regarded as a partially resolved form, i.e. a semiapoenzyme. The enzyme catalyzes transamination of various omega-amino aicds with alpha-ketoglutarate, which is the exclusive amino acceptor. Hypotaurine, DL-beta-aminoisobutyrate, beta-alanine and taurine are the preferred amino donors. The apparent Michaelis constants are as follows; taurine 12 mM, hypotaurine 16 mM, DL-beta-aminoisobutyrate 11 mM, beta-alanine 17 mM, alpha ketoglutarate 11 mM and pyridoxal phosphate 5 micron.  相似文献

UDP-galactose 4-epimerase serves as a prototype model of class II oxidoreductases that use bound NAD as a cofactor. This enzyme from Kluyveromyces fragilis is a homodimer with a molecular mass of 75 kDa/subunit. Continuous monitoring of the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-glu) by the epimerase in the presence of the coupling enzyme UDP-glucose dehydrogenase and NAD shows a kinetic lag of up to 80 s before a steady state is reached. The disappearance of the lag follows first-order kinetics (k = 3.22 x 10(-2) s(-1)) at 25 degrees C at enzyme and substrate concentrations of 1.0 nM and 1 mM, respectively. The observed lag is not due to factors such as insufficient activity of the coupling enzyme, association or dissociation or incomplete recruitment of NAD by epimerase, product activation, etc., but was a true expression of the activity of the prepared enzyme. Dissociation of the bound ligand(s) by heat followed by analysis with reverse-phase HPLC, TLC, UV-absorption spectrometry, mass spectrometry, and NMR showed that in addition to 1.78 mol of NAD/dimer, the epimerase also contains 0.77 mol of 5'-UMP/dimer. The latter is a strong competitive inhibitor. Preincubation of the epimerase with the substrate UDP-gal or UDP-glu replaces the inhibitor and also abolishes the lag, which reappeared after the enzyme was treated with 5'-UMP. The lag was not observed as long as the cells were in the growing phase and galactose in the growth medium was limiting, suggesting that association with 5'-UMP is a late log-phase phenomenon. The stoichiometry and conserved amino acid sequence around the NAD binding site of multimeric class I (classical dehydrogenases) and class II oxidoreductases, as reported in the literature, have been compared. It shows that each subunit is independently capable of being associated with one molecule of NAD, suggestive of two NAD binding sites of epimerase per dimer.  相似文献

L-Lysine alpha-oxidase from Trichoderma viride Y244-2 has been purified to homogeneity. The enzyme shows absorption maxima at 277, 388, and 466 nm and a shoulder around 490 nm and contains 2 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 116,000 and consists of two subunits identical in molecular weight (about 56,000). In addition to L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, and L-histidine are oxidized by the enzyme to a lesser extent. Several lysine analogs such as delta-hydroxylysine are oxidized efficiently. Balance studies showed that 1 mol of L-lysine is converted to an equimolar amount of alpha-keto-epsilon-aminocaproate, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide with the consumption of 1 mol of oxygen. alpha-Keto-epsilon-aminocaproate spontaneously is dehydrated intramolecularly into delta 1-piperideine-2-carboxylate in the presence of catalase, and is oxidatively decarboxylated into delta-aminovalerate in the absence of catalase. The Michaelis constants are as follows: 0.04 mM for L-lysine, 0.44 mM for L-ornithine, 14 mM for L-phenylalanine, and 1.6 mM for oxygen with L-lysine.  相似文献

D-Amino acid aminotransferase, purified to homogeneity and crystallized from Bacillus sphaericus, has a molecular weight of about 60,000 and consists of two subunits identical in molecular weight (30,000). The enzyme exhibits absorption maxima at 280, 330, and 415 nm, which are independent of the pH (5.5 to 10.0), and contains 2 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate per mol of enzyme. One of the pyridoxal-5'-P, absorbing at 415 nm, is bound in an aldimine linkage to the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue of the protein, and is released by incubation with phenylhydrazine to yield the catalytically inactive form. The inactive form, which is reactivated by addition of pyridoxal 5'phosphate, still has a 330 nm peak and contains 1 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Therefore, this form is regarded as a semiapoenzyme. The holoenzyme shows negative circular dichroic bands at 330 and 415 nm. D-Amino acid aminotransferase catalyzes alpha transamination of various D-amino acids and alpha-keto acids. D-Alanine, D-alpha-aminobutyrate and D-glutamate, and alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, and alpha-ketobutyrate are the preferred amino donors and acceptors, respectively. The enzyme activity is significantly affected by both the carbonyl and sulfhydryl reagents. The Michaelis constants are as follows: D-alanine (1.3 and 4.2 mM with alpha-ketobutyrate and alpha-ketoglutarate, respictively), alpha-ketobutyrate (14 mM withD-alanine), alpha-ketoglutarate (3.4 mM with D-alanine), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (2.3 muM) and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (25 muM).  相似文献

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) of Clostridium symbiosum, like GDH from other species, is inactivated by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P). This inactivation follows a similar pattern to that for beef liver GDH, in which a non-covalent GDH-pyridoxal-P complex reacts slowly to form a covalent complex in which pyridoxal-P is in a Schiff's-base linkage to lysine residues. [formula: see text] The equilibrium constant of this first-order reaction on the enzyme surface determines the final extent of inactivation observed [S. S. Chen and P. C. Engel (1975) Biochem. J. 147, 351-358]. For clostridial GDH, the maximal inactivation obtained was about 70%, reached after 10 min with 7 mM pyridoxal-P at pH 7. In keeping with the model, (a) inactivation became irreversible after reduction with NaBH4. (b) The NaBH4-reduced enzyme showed a new absorption peak at 325 nm. (c) Km values for NAD+ and glutamate were unaltered, although Vmax values were decreased by 70%. Kinetic analysis of the inactivation gave values of 0.81 +/- 0.34 min-1 for k3 and 3.61 +/- 0.95 mM for k2/k1. The linear plot of 1/(1-R) against 1/[pyridoxal-P], where R is the limiting residual activity reached in an inactivation reaction, gave a slightly higher value for k2/k1 of 4.8 +/- 0.47 mM and k4 of 0.16 +/- 0.01 min-1. NADH, NAD+, 2-oxoglutarate, glutarate and succinate separately gave partial protection against inactivation, the biggest effect being that of 40 mM succinate (68% activity compared with 33% in the control). Paired combinations of glutarate or 2-oxoglutarate and NAD+ gave slightly better protection than the separate components, but the most effective combination was 40 mM 2-oxoglutarate with 1 mM NADH (85% activity at equilibrium). 70% inactivated enzyme showed an incorporation of 0.7 mM pyridoxal-P/mol subunit, estimated spectrophotometrically after NaBH4 reduction, in keeping with the 1:1 stoichiometry for the inactivation. In a sample protected with 2-oxoglutarate and NADH, however, incorporation was 0.45 mol/mol, as against 0.15 mol/mol expected (85% active). Tryptic peptides of the enzyme, modified with and without protection, were purified by HPLC. Two major peaks containing phosphopyridoxyllysine were unique to the unprotected enzyme. These peaks yielded three peptide sequences clearly homologous to sequences of other GDH species. In each case, a gap at which no obvious phenylthiohydantoin-amino-acid was detected, matched a conserved lysine position. The gap was taken to indicate phosphopyridoxyllysine which had prevented tryptic cleavage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

The NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme from human term placental mitochondria was purified 108-fold with a final yield of 72% and specific activity of about 2 mumol per minute per milligram protein. The final preparation was completely free of fumarase, malic, and lactic dehydrogenases. Divalent cations were required for NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme activity, Mn2+ and Co2+ were by far more effective activators than Mg2+ and Ni2+, whereas the reaction did not proceed in the presence of Ca2+. The optimum pH with NAD and NADP as coenzymes was at around 7.1 and 6.4, respectively. The ratio of the rate of NAD:NADP reduction was 7.4 and 1.3 at pH 7.1 and 6.4, respectively. The enzyme is activated by succinate and fumarate and inhibited by ATP. In the absence of fumarate the Michaelis constants for L-malate and NAD were 2.82 and 0.33 mM; and in the presence of fumarate 1.18 and 0.22 mM, respectively. This study presents the first report showing the purification and kinetic properties of NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme from human tissue.  相似文献

Hepatic NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase was reduced by 1 mol of dithionite or NADH per mol of enzyme-bound FAD, without forming a stable semiquinone or intermediate during the titrations. However, the addition of NAD+ to the partially reduced enzyme or illumination in the presence of both NAD+ and EDTA yielded a new intermediate. The intermediate had an absorption band at 375 nm and the optical spectrum resembled anionic semiquinones seen on reduction of other flavin enzymes. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements confirmed the free-radical nature of the species. To explain the results, a disproportionation reaction between the oxidized and reduced NAD+ complexes (E-FAD-NAD+ + E-FADH2-NAD+ in equilibrium 2E-FADH.-NAD+) is assumed. Potentiometric titration of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase at pH 7.0 with dithionite gave a midpoint potential of -258 mV; titration with NADH gave -160 mV. This difference may be due to a difference in the relative affinity of NAD+ for the reduced and oxidized forms of the enzyme. The effects of pH on the midpoint potential of the NAD+-free enzyme were very similar to those which have been measured with free FAD. At pH 7.0, midpoint potentials of trypsin-solubilized and detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 were 13 and 0 mV, respectively.  相似文献

1. The bacterial distribution of alanine dehydrogenase (L-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase, deaminating, EC 1.4.1.1) was investigated, and high activity was found in Bacillus species. The enzyme has been purified to homogeneity and crystallized from B. sphaericus (IFO 3525), in which the highest activity occurs. 2. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 230 000, and is composed of six identical subunits (Mr 38 000). 3. The enzyme acts almost specifically on L-alanine, but shows low amino-acceptor specificity; pyruvate and 2-oxobutyrate are the most preferable substrates, and 2-oxovalerate is also animated. The enzyme requires NAD+ as a cofactor, which cannot be replaced by NADP+. 4. The enzyme is stable over a wide pH range (pH 6.0--10.0), and shows maximum reactivity at approximately pH 10.5 and 9.0 for the deamination and amination reactions, respectively. 5. Alanine dehydrogenase is inhibited significantly by HgCl2, p-chloromercuribenzoate and other metals, but none of purine and pyrimidine bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, flavine compounds and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate influence the activity. 6. The reductive amination proceeds through a sequential ordered ternary-binary mechanism. NADH binds first to the enzyme followed by ammonia and pyruvate, and the products are released in the order of L-ALANINE AND NAD+. The Michaelis constants are as follows: NADH (10 microM), ammonia (28.2 mM), pyruvate (1.7 mM), L-alanine (18.9 mM) and NAD+ (0.23 mM). 7. The pro-R hydrogen at C-4 of the reduced nicotinamide ring of NADH is exclusively transferred to pyruvate; the enzyme is A-stereospecific.  相似文献

Formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2) prepared from peas (Pisum sativum) was a two-subunit enzyme. The enzyme accelerated the formation of an NAD+-cyanide compound having an adsorption band at 330 nm. The enzyme was able to bind one NAD+ molecule per each subunit but only 1 mole of NAD+-cyanide compound was formed per two subunits. The complex of NAD+, cyanide, and the enzyme was very stable and had no catalytic activity. Azide inhibited the formate dehydrogenase reaction in two different ways. By incubation of the enzyme with azide in the presence of NAD+, half of its catalytic activity was lost. The remaining activity was also inhibited by azide but this inhibition was removed competively by formate. Contrary to the case of cyanide the inhibition by azide could be removed by dialysis and no spectral species due to the addition compound of NAD+ and azide could be observed. The data from double recipricol plots of the initial velocity and the formate concentration led to a conclusion that formate dehydrogenase has two sites with about equal catalytic activity. The Km for formate was different for the two catalytic sites (1.67 and 6.25 mM) but the difference was not noticeable in the case of the Km for NAD+.  相似文献

The soluble hydrogenase (hydrogen: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.12.1.2) from Alcaligenes eutrophus H 16 was purified 68-fold with a yield of 20% and a final specific activity (NAD reduction) of about 54 mumol H2 oxidized/min per mg protein. The enzyme was shown to be homogenous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molecular weight and isoelectric point were determined to be 205 000 and 4.85 respectively. The oxidized hydrogenase, as purified under aerobic conditions, was of high stability but not reactive. Reductive activation of the enzyme by H2, in the presence of catalytic amounts of NADH, or by reducing agents caused the hydrogenase to become unstable. The purified enzyme, in its active state, was able to reduce NAD, FMN, FAD, menaquinone, ubiquinone, cytochrome c, methylene blue, methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, phenazine methosulfate, janus green, 2,6-dichlorophenoloindophenol, ferricyanide and even oxygen. In addition to hydrogenase activitiy, the enzyme exhibited also diaphorase and NAD(P)H oxidase activity. The reversibility of hydrogenase function (i.e. H2 evolution from NADH, methyl viologen and benzyl viologen) was demonstrated. With respect to H2 as substrate, hydrogenase showed negative cooperativity; the Hill coefficient was n = 0.4. The apparent Km value for H2 was found to be 0.037 mM. The absorption spectrum of hydrogenase was typical for non-heme iron proteins, showing maxima (shoulders) at 380 and 420 nm. A flavin component could be extracted from native hydrogenase characterized by its absorption bands at 375 and 447 nm and a strong fluorescense at 526 nm.  相似文献

Incubation of an NAD+-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase from bovine brain with 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4-iodoacetamide (DABIA) resulted in a time-dependent loss of enzymatic activity. This inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics with a second-order rate constant of 168 m(-1).min(-1). The spectrum of DABIA-labeled enzyme showed a characteristic peak of the DABIA alkylated sulfhydryl group chromophore at 436 nm, which was absent from the spectrum of the native enzyme. A linear relationship was observed between DABIA binding and the loss of enzyme activity, which extrapolates to a stoichiometry of 8.0 mol DABIA derivatives per mol enzyme tetramer. This inactivation was prevented by preincubating the enzyme with substrate, succinic semialdehyde, but not by preincubating with coenzyme NAD+. After tryptic digestion of the enzyme modified with DABIA, two peptides absorbing at 436 nm were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. The amino acid sequences of the DABIA-labeled peptides were VCSNQFLVQR and EVGEAICTDPLVSK, respectively. These sites are identical to the putative active site sequences of other brain succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenases. These results suggest that the catalytic function of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase is inhibited by the specific binding of DABIA to a cysteine residue at or near its active site.  相似文献

Ferredoxin-NAD(P)(+) reductase [EC 1.18.1.3, 1.18.1.2] was isolated from the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum and purified to homogeneity. The molecular mass of the subunit is 42 kDa, as deduced by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular mass of the native enzyme is approximately 90 kDa, estimated by gel-permeation chromatography, and is thus a homodimer. The enzyme contains one FAD per subunit and has absorption maxima at about 272, 385, and 466 nm. In the presence of ferredoxin (Fd) and reaction center (RC) complex from C. tepidum, it efficiently catalyzes photoreduction of both NADP(+) and NAD(+). When concentrations of NADP(+) exceeded 10 microM, NADP(+) photoreduction rates decreased with increased concentration. The inhibition by high concentrations of substrate was not observed with NAD(+). It also reduces 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DPIP) and molecular oxygen with either NADPH or NADH as efficient electron donors. It showed NADPH diaphorase activity about two times higher than NADH diaphorase activity in DPIP reduction assays at NAD(P)H concentrations less than 0.1 mM. At 0.5 mM NAD(P)H, the two activities were about the same, and at 1 mM, the former activity was slightly lower than the latter.  相似文献

Crystalline aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase from Micrococcus percitreus is inactive in the absence of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). The inactive form of the enzyme shows absorption at 340 nm and contains one mol of PLP per mol of enzyme. Binding of PLP to the inactive form is accompanied by a pronounced increase in absorbance at 415 nm. The amount of PLP that binds to this holoenzyme is 2 mol per mol of enzyme. The inactive half-resolved form, i. e. semiapoenzyme, is obtained again by dialysis of the holoenzyme against phosphate buffer. When the semiapoenzyme is dialyzed against phosphate buffer containing 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine, it loses the absorption at 340 nm with the loss of PLP. This apoenzyme regains the activity and absorption at 340 nm and 415 nm on association with PLP.  相似文献

Aspartic acid 244 that occurs at the putative NAD(+)-binding site of rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase was replaced by glutamic acid by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gel permeation chromatography showed that the purified mutant enzyme was a tetramer as is the wild-type enzyme. In contrast to the wild-type enzyme, which possesses 1 mol of tightly bound NAD+ per mol of enzyme subunit, the mutant enzyme had only 0.05 mol of NAD+ but contained about 0.6 mol each of NADH and adenine per mol of subunit. The mutant enzyme, after removal of the bound compounds by acid-ammonium sulfate treatment, exhibited S-adenosylhomocysteinase activity when assayed in the presence of NAD+. From the appearance of activity as a function of NAD+ concentration, the enzyme was shown to bind NAD+ with a Kd of 23.0 microM at 25 degrees C, a value greater than 280-fold greater than that of the wild-type enzyme. In the presence of a saturating concentration of NAD+, the mutant enzyme showed apparent Km values for substrates similar to those of the wild-type enzyme. Moderate decreases of 8- and 15-fold were observed in Vmax values for the synthetic and hydrolytic directions, respectively. These results indicate the importance of Asp-244 in binding NAD+, and are consistent with the idea that the region of S-adenosylhomocysteinase from residues 213 to 244 is part of the NAD+ binding site. This region has structural features characteristic of the dinucleotide-binding domains of NAD(+)- and FAD-binding proteins (Ogawa, H., Gomi, T., Mueckler, M. M., Fujioka, M., Backlund, P.S., Jr., Aksamit, R.R., Unson, C.G., and Cantoni, G.L. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 719-723).  相似文献

Organoautotrophic growth of Alcaligenes eutrophus on formate was dependent on the presence of molybdate in the medium. Supplementation of the medium with tungstate lead to growth cessation. Corresponding effects of these anions were observed for the activity of the soluble, NAD(+)-linked formate dehydrogenase (S-FDH; EC 1.2.1.2) of the organism. Lack of molybdate or presence of tungstate resulted in an almost complete loss of S-FDH activity. S-FDH was purified to near homogeneity in the presence of nitrate as a stabilizing agent. The native enzyme exhibited an M(r) of 197,000 and a heterotetrameric quaternary structure with nonidentical subunits of M(r) 110,000 (alpha), 57,000 (beta), 19,400 (gamma), and 11,600 (delta). It contained 0.64 g-atom of molybdenum, 25 g-atom of nonheme iron, 20 g-atom of acid-labile sulfur, and 0.9 mol of flavin mononucleotide per mol. The fluorescence spectrum of iodine-oxidized S-FDH was nearly identical to the form A spectrum of milk xanthine oxidase, proving the presence of a pterin cofactor. The molybdenum-complexing cofactor was identified as molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide in an amount of 0.71 mol/mol of S-FDH. Apparent Km values of 3.3 mM for formate and 0.09 mM for NAD+ were determined. The enzyme coupled the oxidation of formate to a number of artificial electron acceptors and was strongly inactivated by formate in the absence of NAD+. It was inhibited by cyanide, azide, nitrate, and Hg2+ ions. Thus, the enzyme belongs to a new group of complex molybdo-flavo Fe-S FDH that so far has been detected in only one other aerobic bacterium.  相似文献
