The gene encoding S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase activity (SAHase: EC 3.3.1.1) from Corynebacterium efficiens (YS-314) was cloned and expressed as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3). The analyzed nucleotide sequence of the cloned gene proved to be identical to those reported on the NCBI database. The recombinant enzyme is a tetramer, showing a molecular weight of approximately 210 kDa, as estimated by gel filtration. The K(M) values of the enzyme for S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), adenosine (Ado), and homocysteine (Hcy), were determined to be 1.4, 10, and 45 microM. The overexpression of the recombinant enzyme produced a high level of protein (>40 mg of protein per gram of wet cells) and revealed certain thermostability when characterized at temperatures above 40 degrees C. It also showed a high capacity for the synthesis of SAH, thermal stability, and high kinetic similarity to human SAHase, indicating a high biotechnological and pharmacological potential. 相似文献

S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase from Sulfolobus solfataricus was expressed in Escherichia coli by inserting the genomic fragment containing the gene encoding for S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase downstream the isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactoside-inducible promoter of pTrc99A expression vector. An ATG positioned 25 bp upstream of the gene which is in frame with a stop codon was utilized as the initiation codon. This construct was used to transform E. coli RB791 and E. coli JM105 strains. The recombinant protein, purified by a fast and efficient two-step procedure (yield of 0.4 mg of enzyme per gram of cells), does not appear homogeneous on SDS-PAGE because of the presence of a protein contaminant corresponding to a "truncated" S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase subunit lacking the first 24 amino acid residues. The recombinant enzyme shows the same molecular mass, optimum temperature, and kinetic features of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase isolated from S. solfataricus but it is less thermostable. To construct a vector which presents a correct distance between the ribosome-binding site and the start codon of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase gene, a NcoI site was created at the translation initiation codon using site-directed mutagenesis. The expression of the homogeneous mutant S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase was achieved at high level (1.7 mg of mutant protein per gram of cells). The mutant S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase and the native one were indistinguishable in all physicochemical and kinetic properties including thermostability, indicating that the interactions involving the NH(2)-terminal sequence of the protein play a role in the thermal stability of S. solfataricus S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. 相似文献

S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase is a cytosolic enzyme present in the kidney. Enzyme activities of SAH hydrolase were measured in the kidney in isolated glomeruli and tubules. SAH hydrolase activity was 0.62 +/- 0.02 mU/mg in the kidney, 0.32 +/- 0.03 mU/mg in the glomeruli, and 0.50 +/- 0.02 mU/mg in isolated tubules. Using immunohistochemical methods, we describe the localization of the enzyme SAH hydrolase in rat kidney with a highly specific antibody raised in rabbits against purified SAH hydrolase from bovine kidney. This antibody crossreacts to almost the same extent with the SAH hydrolase from different species such as rat, pig, and human. Using light microscopy, SAH hydrolase was visualized by the biotin-streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase immunohistochemical procedure. SAH hydrolase immunostaining was observed in glomeruli and in the epithelium of the proximal and distal tubules. The collecting ducts of the cortex and medulla were homogeneously stained. By using double immunofluorescence staining and two-channel immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy, we differentiated the glomerular cells (endothelium, mesangium, podocytes) and found intensive staining of podocytes. Our results show that the enzyme SAH hydrolase is found ubiquitously in the rat kidney. The prominent staining of SAH hydrolase in the podocytes may reflect high rates of transmethylation.

S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (EC 3.3.1.1) was purified to apparent homogeneity from bovine liver, bovine adrenal cortex and mouse liver. All enzymes were tetramers, composed of two types of subunit present in the proportion 1:1, as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The partition coefficient was exactly the same for these enzymes on high-performance gel permeation chromatography, and they co-sedimented in density gradients, suggesting the same molecular size and form of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase from these sources. The bovine enzymes differed from the mouse liver enzyme with respect to isoelectric point (pI = 5.35, versus pI = 5.7), affinity for DEAE-cellulose, and migration of subunits on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with SDS from some commercial sources. The enzymes were not substrates for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The apparent Km values for adenosine (0.2 microM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (0.75 microM) were the same for all three enzymes. The ratio between Vmax for the synthesis and hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine was about 4 for the mouse liver enzyme, and about 6 for the bovine enzymes. It is concluded that only subtle kinetic and physicochemical differences exist between S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase from these bovine and mouse tissues. This suggests that differences in experimental procedures rather than species- and organ-differences of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase are responsible for the variability in kinetic and physicochemical parameters reported for the mammalian hydrolase. 相似文献

The gene encoding S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase in Leishmania donovani was subcloned into an expression vector (pPROK-1) and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant L. donovani AdoHcy hydrolase was then purified from cell-free extracts of E. coli using three chromatographic steps (DEAE-cellulose chromatofocusing, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration, and Q-Sepharose ion exchange). The purified recombinant L. donovani enzyme exists as a tetramer with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa for each subunit. Unlike recombinant human AdoHcy hydrolase, the catalytic activity of the recombinant L. donovani enzyme was shown to be dependent on the concentration of NAD+ in the incubation medium. The dissociation constant (Kd) for NAD+ with the L. donovani enzyme was estimated to be 2.1 +/- 0.2 microM. The Km values for the natural substrates of the enzyme, AdoHcy, Ado, and Hcy, were determined to be 21 +/- 3, 8 +/- 2, and 82 +/- 5 microM, respectively. Several nucleosides and carbocyclic nucleosides were tested for their inhibitory effects on this parasitic enzyme, and the results suggested that L. donovani AdoHcy hydrolase has structural requirements for binding inhibitors different than those of the human enzyme. Thus, it may be possible to eventually exploit these differences to design specific inhibitors of this parasitic enzyme as potential antiparasitic agents. 相似文献

The moderately thermophilic bacterium Acidithiobacillus caldus is found in bacterial populations in many bioleaching operations throughout the world. This bacterium oxidizes elemental sulfur and other reduced inorganic sulfur compounds as the sole source of energy. The purpose of this study was to purify and characterize the tetrathionate hydrolase of A. caldus. The enzyme was purified 16.7-fold by one step chromatography using a SP Sepharose column. The purified enzyme resolved into a single band in 10% polyacrylamide gel, both under denaturing and native conditions. Its homogeneity was confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Tetrathionate hydrolase was shown to be a homodimer with a molecular mass of 103 kDa (composed from two 52 kDa monomers). The purified enzyme had optimum activity at pH 3.0 and 40 degrees C and an isoelectric point of 9.8. The periplasmic localization of the enzyme was determined by differential fractionation of A. caldus cells. Detected products of the tetrathionate hydrolase reaction were thiosulfate and pentathionate as confirmed by RP-HPLC analysis. The activity of the purified enzyme was drastically enhanced by divalent metal ions. 相似文献

The Corynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) gene (pckA) was cloned into an Escherichia coli expression vector with a glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag. This recombinant DNA can produce highly overexpressed tagged protein in soluble form. This is the first report of the production of C. glutamicum PCK overexpressed in E. coli. The GST-fused PCK was purified using the glutathione-Sepharose 4B affinity column and the GST tag was removed in one-step. This one-step, easy purification method would be very useful for future mutational and structural studies. The molecular mass of the purified protein is approximately 68 kDa as confirmed by mass spectrometry and it is a monomeric enzyme. Also, the enzyme assays revealed that C. glutamicum PCK has a GTP-specific activity and that its activity is maximal in the presence of both Mn2+ and Mg2+. 相似文献

S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SahH) is involved in the degradation of the compound which inhibits methylation reactions. Using a Bayesian approach and other methods, we reconstructed a phylogenetic tree of amino acid sequences of this protein originating from all three major domains of living organisms. The SahH sequences formed two major branches: one composed mainly of Archaea and the other of eukaryotes and majority of bacteria, clearly contradicting the three-domain topology shown by small subunit rRNA gene. This topology suggests the occurrence of lateral transfer of this gene between the domains. Poor resolution of eukaryotes and bacteria excluded an ultimate conclusion in which out of the two domains this gene appeared first, however, the congruence of the secondary branches with SS rRNA and/or concatenated ribosomal protein datasets phylogenies suggested an "early" acquisition by some bacterial and eukaryotic phyla. Similarly, the branching pattern of Archaea reflected the phylogenies shown by SS rRNA and ribosomal proteins. SahH is widespread in Eucarya, albeit, due to reductive evolution, it is missing in the intracellular parasite Encephalitozoon cuniculi. On the other hand, the lack of affinity to the sequences from the alpha-Proteobacteria and cyanobacteria excludes a possibility of its acquisition in the course of mitochondrial or chloroplast endosymbioses. Unlike Archaea, most bacteria carry MTA/SAH nucleosidase, an enzyme involved also in metabolism of methylthioadenosine. However, the double function of MTA/SAH nucleosidase may be a barrier to ensure the efficient degradation of S-adenosylhomocysteine, specially when the intensity of methylation processes is high. This would explain the presence of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase in the bacteria that have more complex metabolism. On the other hand, majority of obligate pathogenic bacteria due to simpler metabolism rely entirely on MTA/SAH nucleosidase. This could explain the observed phenetic pattern in which bacteria with larger (>6 Mb-million base pairs) genomes carry SAH hydrolase, whereas bacteria that have undergone reductive evolution usually carry MTA/SAH nucleosidase. This suggests that the presence or acquisition of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase in bacteria may predispose towards higher metabolic, and in consequence, higher genomic complexity. The good examples are the phototrophic bacteria all of which carry this gene, however, the SahH phylogeny shows lack of congruence with SSU rRNA and photosyntethic genes, implying that the acquisition was independent and presumably preceded the acquisition of photosyntethic genes. The majority of cyanobacteria acquired this gene from Archaea, however, in some species the sahH gene was replaced by a copy from the beta- or gamma-Proteobacteria. 相似文献

We purified an intracellular esterase that can function as an S-formylglutathione hydrolase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its molecular mass was 40 kDa, as determined by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point was 5.0 by isoelectric focusing. The enzyme activity was optimal at 50 degrees C and pH 7.0. The corresponding gene, YJLO68C, was identified by its N-terminal amino acid sequence and is not essential for cell viability. Null mutants have reduced esterase activities and grow slowly in the presence of formaldehyde. This enzyme may be involved in the detoxification of formaldehyde, which can be metabolized to S-formylglutathione by S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase, which formsAGC from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), was purified to homogeneityfrom sliced and aged mesocarp tissue of Cucurbita maxima Duch.cv Ebisu fruits, and its enzymatic properties were determined.The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 220 mU/mg proteinat 30°C at 50 µM SAM. Native ACC synthase has a relativemolecular mass of 160 ± 10 kDa and consisted of two subunitsof about 84±3 kDa. S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), S-methylmethionine(SMM) and L-methionine did not serve as substrate. The enzymereaction was competitively inhibited by aminoethoxyvinylglycine(AVG) (Ki, 2.5 µM), aminooxyacetic acid (Ki, 40 µM)and SAH (Ki, 30 µM). The reaction was also strongly inhibitedby semicarbazide, and less effectively by homocysteine. Theenzyme was rapidly inactivated by its substrate, SAM in thepresence of pyridoxalphosphate (PLP), but in the absence ofPLP, SAM-induced inactivation was much slower. Inactivationdid not occur by SAH and SMM, SAM analogs without substrateactivity. Pyridoxal phosphate was an essential cofactor to beadded to a reaction mixture for maximum activity, but an enzymepreparation from which pyridoxal phosphate was removed by SephadexG-25 gel filtration exhibited one-eighth activity which wasinhibited by semicarbazide, this indicating that a small amountof pyridoxal phosphate is firmly bound to the enzyme.

A novel β-glucosidase gene (designated PtBglu3) from Paecilomyces thermophila was cloned and sequenced. PtBglu3 has an open reading frame of 2,557 bp, encoding 858 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 90.9 kDa. The amino acid sequence of the mature polypeptide shared the highest identity (70%) to a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 3 characterized β-glucosidase from Penicillium purpurogenum. PtBglu3 without the signal peptides was cloned into pPIC9K vector and successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris as an active extracellular β-glucosidase (PtBglu3). High activity of 274.4 U/ml was obtained by high cell-density fermentation, which is by far the highest reported yield for β-glucosidase. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity with 3.3-fold purification and a recovery of 68.5%. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 116 kDa by SDS-PAGE, and 198.2 kDa by gel filtration, indicating that it was a dimer. Optimal activity of the purified enzyme was observed at pH 6.0 and 65 °C, and it was stable up to 60 °C. The enzyme exhibited high specific activity toward pNP-β-D-glucopyranoside, cellooligosaccharides, gentiobiose, amygdalin and salicin, and relatively lower activity against lichenan and laminarin. The present results should contribute to improving industrial production of β-glucosidase. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Corynebacterium glutamicum was purified and characterized. The enzyme had a native molecular weight of about 80kDa, whereas a monomer with molecular weight of 24kDa was found on SDS-PAGE suggesting it to be homotetramer. The native SOD activity stained gel revealed a unique cytosolic enzyme. Supplementing growth media with manganese increased the specific activity significantly, while adding iron did not result in significant difference. No growth perturbation was observed with the supplemented media. In vitro metal removal and replacement studies revealed conservation of about 85% of the specific activity by substitution with manganese, while substitution with copper, iron, nickel or zinc did not restore any significant specific activity. Manganese was identified by atomic absorption spectrometer, while no signals corresponding to fixing other metallic elements were detected. Thus, C. glutamicum SOD could be considered a strict (non-cambialistic) manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). 相似文献

Agarase genes of non-marine agarolytic bacterium Cellvibrio sp. were cloned into Escherichia coli and one of the genes obtained using HindIII was sequenced. From nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences (713 aa, molecular mass; 78,771 Da) of the gene, designated as agarase AgaA, the gene was found to have closest homology to the Saccharophagus degradans (formerly, Microbulbifer degradans) 2-40 aga86 gene, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 86 (GH86). The putative protein appears to be a non-secreted protein because of the absence of a signal sequence. The recombinant protein was purified with anion exchange and gel filtration columns after ammonium sulfate precipitation and the molecular mass (79 kDa) determined by SDS-PAGE and subsequent enzymography agreed with the estimated value, suggesting that the enzyme is monomeric. The optimal pH and temperature for enzymatic hydrolysis of agarose were 6.5 and 42.5 degrees C, and the enzyme was stable under 40 degrees C. LC-MS and NMR analyses revealed production of a neoagarobiose and a neoagarotetraose with a small amount of a neoagarohexaose during hydrolysis of agarose, indicating that the enzyme is a beta-agarase. 相似文献

A lambda phage genomic library of Aeromonas caviae ME-1, a multiple-xylanase-producing bacterium, was screened for xylan degradation activities. We isolated one clone, B65, which had weak xylanase activity, by the DNS method, but gave no visible bands on zymogram assay using SDS-xylan-PAGE. Based on TLC analyses of enzymatic products and some glycosidase assays using p-nitrophenyl substrates, we established that pB65 encodes a beta-xylosidase gene. In the nucleotide sequence analysis, we found a 2190-bp open reading frame (ORF) named xysB. XysB protein is similar to some beta-xylosidases, which are categorized in the glycosyl hydrolase family 52. Another ORF (xyg), that showed similarity to the family 67 alpha-glucuronidase, was also found downstream of the xysB gene. The xysB ORF and its promoter region were cloned into the pT7-Blue vector and the transformant cells had beta-xylosidase activity. The relative molecular mass were estimated to be 75 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 159 kDa by gel filtration. These data showed that XysB has a dimeric structure of 80,697 Da subunits. This enzyme showed optimal activity at 50 degrees C and pH 6.0. It was stable below 40 degrees C and pH 5-8. The Km and Vmax were calculated to be 0.34 mM and 33 nmol x min(-1) x microg(-1), respectively. This enzyme also showed transglycosylation activity against X3 and produced X4 and X5. 相似文献

A thiocyanate hydrolase that catalyzes the first step in thiocyanate degradation was purified to homogeneity from Thiobacillus thioparus, an obligate chemolithotrophic eubacterium metabolizing thiocyanate to sulfate as an energy source. The thiocyanate hydrolase was purified 52-fold by steps involving ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, and hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The enzyme hydrolyzed 1 mol of thiocyanate to form 1 mol of carbonyl sulfide and 1 mol of ammonia as follows: SCN- + 2H2O----COS + NH3 + OH-. This is the first report describing the hydrolysis of thiocyanate to carbonyl sulfide by an enzyme. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 126 kDa and was composed of three different subunits: alpha (19 kDa), beta (23 kDa), and gamma (32 kDa). The enzyme exhibited optimal activities at pH 7.5-8.0 and at temperatures ranging from 30 to 40 degrees C. The Km value for thiocyanate was approximately 11 mM. Immunoblot analysis with polyclonal antibodies against the purified enzyme suggested that it was induced in T. thioparus cells when the cells were grown with thiocyanate. 相似文献

Biological transmethylation reaction is a key step in the duplication of virus life cycle, in which S-adenosylmethionine plays as the methyl donor. The product of this reactions, S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) inhibits the transmethylation process. AdoHcy is hydrolysed to adenosine and L-homocysteine by the action of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH). Thus the virus life cycle should be cut off once the action of SAH is inhibited. Our study was focussed on the discovery of potential inhibitor against SAH. We performed a similarity search in Traditional Chinese Medicine Database and retrieved 17 hits with high similarity. After that we virtually docked the 17 compounds as well as the natural substrates to the hydrolase using Autodock 3.0.1 software. Then we discussed about the mechanism of the inhibition reaction, followed by proposing the potential inhibitors by comparing best docked solutions and possible modification for the best inhibitors. 相似文献

The enzyme oxaloacetate hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.1), which is involved in oxalate formation, was purified from Aspergillus niger. The native enzyme has a molecular mass of 360–440 kDa, and the denatured enzyme has a molecular mass of 39 kDa, as determined
by gel electrophoresis. Enzyme activity is maximal at pH 7.0 and 45 °C. The fraction containing the enzyme activity contained
at least five proteins. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of four of these proteins were determined. The amino acid sequences
were aligned with EST sequences from A. niger, and an EST sequence that showed 100% identity to all four sequences was identified. Using this EST sequence the gene encoding
oxaloacetate hydrolase (oah) was cloned by inverse PCR. It consists of an ORF of 1227 bp with two introns of 92 and 112 bp, respectively. The gene encodes
a protein of 341 amino acids with a molecular mass of 37 kDa. Under the growth conditions tested, the highest oah expression was found for growth on acetate as carbon source. The gene was expressed only at pH values higher than 4.0.
