Penicillin V acylases (PVAs) and bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) have considerable sequence and structural similarity; however, they vary significantly in their substrate specificity. We have identified a PVA from a Gram-negative organism, Pectobacterium atrosepticum (PaPVA) that turned out to be a remote homolog of the PVAs and BSHs reported earlier. Even though the active site residues were conserved in PaPVA it showed high specificity towards penV and interestingly the penV acylase activity was inhibited by bile salts. Comparative modelling and docking studies were carried out to understand the structural differences of the binding site that confer this characteristic property. We show that PaPVA exhibits significant differences in structure, which are in contrast to those of known PVAs and such enzymes from Gram-negative bacteria require further investigation. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase enzyme, one of the fastest known enzymes, remains largely unexplored in prokaryotes when compared to its
mammalian counterparts despite its ubiquity. In this study, the enzyme has been purified from Bacillus subtilis SA3 using sequential Sephadex G-75 chromatography, DEAE cellulose chromatography, and sepharose-4B-L-tyrosinesulphanilamide
affinity chromatography and characterized to provide additional insights into its properties. The apparent molecular mass
of carbonic anhydrase obtained by SDS-PAGE was found to be approximately 37 kDa. Isoelectric focusing of the purified enzyme
revealed an isoelectric point (pI) of around 6.1 when compared with marker. The presence of metal ions such as Zn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, and anion SO4− increased enzyme activity while strong inhibition was observed in the presence of Hg2+, Cl−, HCO3−, and metal chelator EDTA. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme were found to be 8.3 and 37°C, respectively. Enzyme
kinetics with p-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate at pH 8.3 and 37°C determined the Vmax and Km values of the enzyme to be 714.28 μmol/mg protein/min and 9.09 mM, respectively. The Ki value for acetazolamide was 0.22 mM, compared to 0.099 mM for sulphanilamide. The results from N-terminal amino acid sequencing
imply the purified protein is a putative beta-carbonic anhydrase with close similarities to CAs from plants, microorganisms. 相似文献

Besides their role as a source of amino acids for Bacillus subtilis, exogenous peptides play important roles in the signalling pathways leading to the development of competence and sporulation. B.subtilis has three peptide transport systems all belonging to the ATP-binding cassette family, a dipeptide permease (Dpp) and two oligopeptide permeases (Opp and App) with overlapping specificity. These comprise a membrane-spanning channel through which the peptide passes, a pair of ATPases which couple ATP hydrolysis to peptide translocation and a lipid-modified, membrane-anchored extracellular "binding-protein" that serves as the receptor for the system. Here, we present the crystal structure of a soluble form of the peptide-binding protein AppA, which has been solved to 1.6 A spacing by anomalous scattering and molecular replacement methods. The structure reveals a protein made of two distinct lobes with a topology similar to those of DppA from Escherichia coli and OppA from Salmonella typhimurium. Examination of the interlobe region reveals an enlarged pocket, containing electron density defining a nonapeptide ligand. The main-chain of the peptide is well defined and makes a series of polar contacts with the protein including salt-bridges at both its termini. The side-chain density is ambiguous in places, consistent with the interpretation that a population of peptides is bound, whose average electron density resembles the amino acid sequence N-VDSKNTSSW-C. 相似文献

A Bacillus subtilis AX20 from soil with ability to produce extracellular alpha-amylases was isolated. The characterization of microorganism was performed by biochemical tests as well as 16S rDNA sequencing. Maximum amylase activity (38 U/ml) was obtained at stationery phase when the culture was grown at 37 degrees C. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with an overall recovery of 24.2% and specific activity of 4133 U/mg. The native protein showed a molecular mass of 149 kDa composed of a homodimer of 78 kDa polypeptide by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the amylase were 6 and 55 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by Hg(2+), Ag(2+), and Cu(2+) and it did not show an obligate requirement of metal ions. The enzyme was not inhibited by EDTA or EGTA, suggesting that this enzyme is not a metalloenzyme. The end products of corn starch and soluble starch were glucose (70-75%) and maltose (20-25%). Rapid reduction of blue value and the end products suggest an endo mode of action for the amylase. The purified amylase shows interesting properties useful for industrial applications. 相似文献

Penicillin G acylase is an important enzyme in the commercial production of semisynthetic penicillins used to combat bacterial infections. Mutant strains of Providencia rettgeri were generated from wild-type cultures subjected to nutritional selective pressure. One such mutant, Bro1, was able to use 6-bromohexanamide as its sole nitrogen source. Penicillin acylase from the Bro1 strain exhibited an altered substrate specificity consistent with the ability of the mutant to process 6-bromohexanamide. The X-ray structure determination of this enzyme was undertaken to understand its altered specificity and to help in the design of site-directed mutants with desired specificities. In this paper, the structure of the Bro1 penicillin G acylase has been solved at 2.5 A resolution by molecular replacement. The R-factor after refinement is 0.154 and R-free is 0.165. Of the 758 residues in the Bro1 penicillin acylase heterodimer (alpha-subunit, 205; beta-subunit, 553), all but the eight C-terminal residues of the alpha-subunit have been modeled based on a partial Bro1 sequence and the complete wild-type P. rettgeri sequence. A tightly bound calcium ion coordinated by one residue from the alpha-subunit and five residues from the beta-subunit has been identified. This enzyme belongs to the superfamily of Ntn hydrolases and uses Ogamma of Ser beta1 as the characteristic N-terminal nucleophile. A mutation of the wild-type Met alpha140 to Leu in the Bro1 acylase hydrophobic specificity pocket is evident from the electron density and is consistent with the observed specificity change for Bro1 acylase. The electron density for the N-terminal Gln of the alpha-subunit is best modeled by the cyclized pyroglutamate form. Examination of aligned penicillin acylase and cephalosporin acylase primary sequences, in conjunction with the P. rettgeri and Escherichia coli penicillin acylase crystal structures, suggests several mutations that could potentially allow penicillin acylase to accept charged beta-lactam R-groups and to function as a cephalosporin acylase and thus be used in the manufacture of semi-synthetic cephalosporins. 相似文献

Aeromonas sp. ACY 95 produces constitutively and intracellularly a penicillin V acylase at an early stage of fermentation (12 h) and a cephalosporin C acylase at a later stage (36 h). Some penicillins, cephalosporin C and their side chain moieties/analogues, phenoxyacetic acid, penicillin V and penicillin G, enhanced penicillin V acylase production while none of the test compounds affected cephalosporin C acylase production. Supplementation of the medium with some sugars and sugar derivatives repressed enzyme production to varying degrees. The studies on enzyme formation, induction and repression, and substrate profile suggest that the cephalosporin C acylase and penicillin V acylase are two distinct enzymes. Substrate specificity studies indicate that the Aeromonas sp. ACY 95 produces a true cephalosporin C acylase which unlike the enzymes reported hitherto hydrolyses cephalosporin C specifically.The authors are with Research and Development, Hindustan Antibiotics Limited, Pimpri.

As part of the pksX gene cluster of Bacillus subtilis strain 168, pksS has been preliminarily annotated as a cytochrome P450 homolog that hydroxylates the polyketide product of this cluster, which was recently shown to be involved in the biosynthesis of bacillaene and dihydrobacillaene. Here we report that there is a frame-shift error in the reported sequence for pksS, and that we have successfully cloned, overexpressed, and purified the protein encoded by the corrected sequence. By utilizing electronic absorption spectrophotometry, we have observed that the ferrous CO complex of PksS absorbs maximally near 450 nm, which confirms the annotation that this protein is a cytochrome P450. We have also established a cell-free system derived from crude cytosolic B. subtilis protein extracts which provides reductase activity essential to sustaining the putative catalytic cycle of PksS. Using LC-MS analysis we have collected data which suggests that the substrate for PksS is dihydrobacillaene. 相似文献

The kinetic parameters of several substrates of penicillin acylase from Streptomyces lavendulae have been determined. The enzyme hydrolyses phenoxymethyl penicillin (penicillin V) and other penicillins with aliphatic acyl-chains such as penicillin F, dihydroF, and K. The best substrate was penicillin K (octanoyl penicillin) with a k(cat)/K(m) of 165.3 mM(-1) s(-1). The enzyme hydrolyses also chromogenic substrates as NIPOAB (2-nitro-5-phenoxyacetamido benzoic acid), NIHAB (2-nitro-5-hexanoylamido benzoic acid) or NIOAB (2-nitro-5-octanoylamido benzoic acid), however failed to hydrolyse phenylacetil penicillin (penicillin G) or NIPAB (2-nitro-5-phenylacetamido benzoic acid) and penicillins with polar substituents in the acyl moiety. These results suggest that the structure of the acyl moiety of the substrate is more determinant than the amino moiety for enzyme specificity. The enzyme was inhibited by several organic acids and the extent of inhibition changed with the hydrophobicity of the acid. The best inhibitor was octanoic acid with a K(i) of 0.8 mM. All the results, taking together, point to an active site highly hydrophobic for this penicillin acylase from Streptomyces lavendulae. 相似文献

A fibrinolytic enzyme from Bacillus subtilis BK-17 has been purified to homogeneity by gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Compared to the crude enzyme extract, the specific activity of the enzyme increased 929-fold with a recovery of 29%. The subunit molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 31 kDa by SDS–PAGE. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified fibrinolytic enzyme was: A-Q-S-V-P-Y-G-V-S-Q-I-K-A-P-A-A-H-N. The sequence was highly homologous to the fibrinolytic enzymes nattokinase, subtilisin J and subtilisin E from Bacillus spp. However, there was a substitution of three amino acid residues in the N-terminal sequence. The amidolytic activity of the purified enzyme for several substrates was assessed. In comparison with nattokinase and CK (fibrinolytic enzyme from a Bacillus spp.), which showed strong fibrinolytic activity, the amidolytic activity of the enzyme for the synthetic substrate, kallikrein (H-D-Val-Leu-Arg-pNA, S-2266) increased 2.4- and 11.8-fold, respectively. 相似文献

The immobilized metal affinity membrane (IMAM) with modified regeneration cellulose was employed for purification of penicillin G acylase (PGA). For studying PGA adsorption capacity on the IMAM, factors such as chelator surface density, chelating metal, loading temperature, pH, NaCl concentration and elution solutions were investigated. The optimal loading conditions were found at 4 degrees C, 0.5 M NaCl, 32.04 micromol Cu(2+) per disk with 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 8.5, whereas elution conditions were: 1 M NH(4)Cl with 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. By applying these chromatographic conditions to the flow experiments in a cartridge, a 9.11-fold purification in specific activity with 90.25% recovery for PGA purification was obtained. Meanwhile, more than eight-times reusability of the membrane was achieved with the EDTA regeneration solutions. 相似文献

Study on the production of chitin and chitosan from shrimp shell by using Bacillus subtilis fermentation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fermentation of shrimp shell in jaggery broth using Bacillus subtilis for the production of chitin and chitosan was investigated. It was found that B. subtilis produced sufficient quantities of acid to remove the minerals from the shell and to prevent spoilage organisms. The protease enzyme in Bacillus species was responsible for the deprotenisation of the shell. The pH, proteolytic activity, extent of demineralization and deprotenisation were studied during fermentation. About 84% of the protein and 72% of the minerals were removed from the shrimp shell after fermentation. Mild acid and alkali treatments were given to produce characteristic chitin and their concentrations were standardized. Chitin was converted to chitosan by N-deacetylation and the properties of chitin and chitosan were studied. FTIR spectral analysis of chitin and chitosan prepared by the process was carried out and compared with spectra of commercially available samples. 相似文献

The penicillin G acylase (PGA) and cephalosporin acylase (CA) families, which are members of the N-terminal (Ntn) hydrolases, are valuable for the production of backbone chemicals like 6-aminopenicillanic acid and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), which can be used to synthesize semi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins, respectively. Regardless of the low sequence similarity between PGA and CA, the structural homologies at their active-sites are very high. However, despite this structural conservation, they catalyze very different substrates. PGA reacts with the hydrophobic aromatic side-chain (the phenylacetyl moiety) of penicillin G (PG), whereas CA targets the hydrophilic linear side-chain (the glutaryl moiety) of glutaryl-7-ACA (GL-7-ACA). These different substrate specificities are likely to be due to differences in the side-chains of the active-site residues. In this study, mutagenesis of active-site residues binding the side-chain moiety of PG changed the substrate specificity of PGA to that of CA. This mutant PGA may constitute an alternative source of engineered enzymes for the industrial production of 7-ACA. 相似文献

Many bacteria take up DNA from their environment as part of the process of natural transformation. DNA uptake allows microorganisms to gain genetic diversity and can lead to the spread of antibiotic resistance or virulence genes within a microbial population. Development of genetic competence (Com) in Bacillus subtilis is a highly regulated process that culminates in expression of several late competence genes and formation of the DNA uptake apparatus. The late competence operon comF encodes a small protein of unknown function, ComFB. To gain insight into the function of ComFB, we determined its 3D structure via X-ray crystallography. ComFB is a dimer and each subunit consists of four α-helices connected by short loops and one extended β-strand-like stretch. Each subunit contains one zinc-binding site formed by four cysteines, which are unusually spaced in the primary sequence. Using structure- and bioinformatics-guided substitutions we analyzed the inter-subunit interface of the ComFB dimer. Based on these analyses, we conclude that ComFB is an obligate dimer. We also characterized ComFB in vivo and found that this protein is produced in competent cells and is localized to the cytosol. Consistent with previous reports, we showed that deletion of ComFB does not affect DNA uptake function. Combining our results, we conclude that ComFB is unlikely to be a part of the DNA uptake machinery under tested conditions and instead may have a regulatory function. 相似文献

Analysis of the open and closed conformations of the GTP-binding protein YsxC from Bacillus subtilis
Ruzheinikov SN Das SK Sedelnikova SE Baker PJ Artymiuk PJ García-Lara J Foster SJ Rice DW 《Journal of molecular biology》2004,339(2):265-278
Genetic analysis has suggested that the product of the Bacillus subtilis ysxC gene is essential for survival of the microorganism and hence may represent a target for the development of a novel anti-infective agent. B.subtilis YsxC is a member of the translation factor related class of GTPases and its crystal structure has been determined in an apo form and in complex with GDP and GMPPNP/Mg2+. Analysis of these structures has allowed us to examine the conformational changes that occur during the process of nucleotide binding and GTP hydrolysis. These structural changes particularly affect parts of the switch I and switch II region of YsxC, which become ordered and disordered, respectively in the "closed" or "on" GTP-bound state and disordered and ordered, respectively, in the "open" or "off" GDP-bound conformation. Finally, the binding of the magnesium cation results in subtle shifts of residues in the G3 region, at the start of switch II, which serve to optimize the interaction with a key aspartic acid residue. The structural flexibility observed in YsxC is likely to contribute to the role of the protein, possibly allowing transduction of an essential intracellular signal, which may be mediated via interactions with a conserved patch of surface-exposed, basic residues that lies adjacent to the GTP-binding site. 相似文献

Investigating the biochemistry, resilience and environmental interactions of bacterial endospores often requires a pure endospore biomass free of vegetative cells. Numerous endospore isolation methods, however, neglect to quantify the purity of the final endospore biomass. To ensure low vegetative cell contamination we developed a quality control technique that enables rapid quantification of endospore harvest purity. This method quantifies spore purity using bright-field and fluorescence microscopy imaging in conjunction with automated cell counting software. We applied this method to Bacillus subtilis endospore harvests isolated using a two-phase separation method that utilizes mild chemicals. The average spore purity of twenty-two harvests was 88 ± 11% (error is 1σ) with a median value of 93%. A spearman coefficient of 0.97 correlating automated and manual bacterial counts confirms the accuracy of software generated data. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to test a chromatographic affinity support containing methacryloyl antipyrine (MAAP) for penicillin acylase (PA) purification by using pure penicillin acylase and crude extract. First, MAAP as a pseudo-specific ligand was synthesized by using methacryloyl chloride and 4-aminoantipyrine. Polymer beads (average size diameter: 40–120 μm) were prepared by suspension polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and MAAP. This approach for the preparation of adsorbent has several advantages over conventional preparation protocols. An expensive and time consuming step in the preparation of adsorbent is immobilization of a ligand to the adsorption matrix. In this procedure, affinity ligand MAAP acts as comonomer without further modification steps. Poly(EGDMA-MAAP) beads were characterized by FTIR, NMR and screen analysis. Elemental analysis of MAAP for nitrogen was estimated as 89.3 μmol/g. The prepared adsorbent was then used for the capture of penicillin acylase in batch system. The maximum penicillin acylase adsorption capacity of the poly(EGDMA-MAAP) beads was found to be 82.2 mg/g at pH 5.0. Chromatography with crude feedstock resulted in 23.2-fold purification and 93% recovery with 1.0 M NaOH. 相似文献

yloQ is one of 11 essential genes in Bacillus subtilis with unknown roles in the physiology of the cell. It encodes a polypeptide of 298 residues with motifs characteristic of GTPases. As a contribution to elucidating its indispensable cellular function, we have solved the crystal structure of YloQ to 1.6 A spacing, revealing a three-domain organisation. At the heart of the molecule is the putative GTPase domain, which exhibits a classical alpha/beta nucleotide-binding fold with a topology very similar to that of Ras and Era. However, as anticipated from the order in which the conserved G protein motifs appear in the sequence, the GTPase domain fold in YloQ is circularly permuted with respect to the classical GTPases. The nucleotide-binding pocket in YloQ is unoccupied, and analysis of the phosphate-binding (P) loop indicates that conformational changes in this region would be needed to accommodate GTP. The GTPase domain is flanked at its N terminus by a beta-barrel domain with an oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) fold, and at its C terminus by an alpha-helical domain containing a coordinated zinc ion. This combination of protein modules is unique to YloQ and its orthologues. Sequence comparisons reveal a clustering of conserved basic and aromatic residues on one face of the OB domain, perhaps pointing to a role for YloQ in nucleic acid binding. The zinc ion in the alpha-helical domain is coordinated by three cysteine residues and a histidine residue in a novel ligand organisation. The juxtaposition of the switch I and switch II regions of the G domain and the OB and zinc-binding domains suggests that chemical events at the GTPase active site may be transduced into relative movements of these domains. The pattern of conserved residues and electrostatic surface potential calculations suggest that the OB and/or Zn-binding domains participate in nucleic acid binding consistent with a possible role for YloQ at some stage during mRNA translation. 相似文献
