A purification procedure for diol dehydrase (dl-1,2-propanediol hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.28) of Klebsiella pneumoniae (Aerobacter aerogenes) ATCC 8724 has been developed which gives the highest specific activity for this enzyme obtained so far. The purified enzyme is homogeneous by the criteria of ultracentrifugation (s20,w = 8.9 S) and disc gel electrophoresis in the presence of substrate. The molecular weight of approximately 230,000 was obtained by gel filtration and ultracentrifugal sedimentation equilibrium. The enzyme is composed of components F and S whose molecular weights were determined to be approximately 26,000 and 200,000, respectively, by gel filtration. The incubation of both components F and S with the substrate leads to complete reassociation of the components. Disc gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and terminal amino acid analyses indicate that component S consists of at least four nonidentical subunits. The reversible association and heterogeneity of the subunits were also demonstrated with the crude enzyme by immunoelectrophoresis.  相似文献

Prephenate dehydratase has been purified 10,000-fold from the crude extracts of Bacillus subtilis. The procedure takes advantage of the dissociation of the enzyme to a 55,000-dalton form in the presence of the negative effector, phenylalanine, and its association to a 210,000-dalton form in the presence of the positive effector, methionine. These two forms of the enzyme were separated from the bulk of the other proteins present in the crude extracts by gel filtration alternately in the presence of the two effectors. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic analysis showed the enzyme is composed of apparently identical 28,000-dalton polypeptides.  相似文献

Two forms of phenylalanine:pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1. aminotransferases, the exact EC number has not been assigned) termed A and B were obtained from the liver supernatant fraction of glucagon-treated rats by DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. Each of the two forms was further purified by hydroxylapatite, Sephadex G-100 chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis. Both the A and B forms have been purified to homogeneity as judged by analytical and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Moreover, histidine was found to be a competitive inhibitor of phenylalanine with both purified proteins. These findings conclusively support the view that phenylalanine:pyruvate transaminase and histidine:pyruvate transaminase reactions are catalyzed by the same protein. The overall purification was 710-fold for the A form and 1200-fold for the B form. The apparent molecular weight for both A and B are 74,000 ±6000 as determined by gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis revealed that the A form has two identical subunits of molecular weight 42,000, whereas the B form has two nonidentical subunits of molecular weight 42,000 and 44,000. The amino acid composition for the A and B forms of the enzyme are different. The major differences are in glycine, alanine and leucine. The isoelectric point for A was 7.8 and for B was 7.3. However, the A and B forms of the enzyme are of immunological identity. The substrate specificity determined for both the A and B form was phenylalanine >asparagine >alanine >leucine >histidine. The Km for phenylalanine was 7.70 mm for the A form, 6.00 mm for the B form. For histidine, the Km was 13.70 mm for the A form, 12.50 mm for the B form.  相似文献

The enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of N-acetylglutamic γ-semialdehyde and l-glutamate to α-N-acetyl-l-ornithine and α-ketoglutarate, acetylornithine δ-transaminase, has been isolated in homogeneous form and crystallized from both the wild-type and the arginine-inducible strains of Escherichia coli W. The molecular weight of the wild-type transaminase is 119,000 while the molecular weight of the arginine-inducible enzyme is 61,000. However, the arginine-inducible acetylornithine δ-transaminase is not a breakdown product of the wild-type, arginine-repressible transaminase. Analysis of crude extracts of the wild-type and arginine-inducible strains by varying the acrylamide concentration in polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis showed that arginine-inducible and wild-type transaminases differed in ionic charge. Immunochemical analysis of the two transaminases showed that neither enzyme would cross-react with antibodies prepared against its counterpart. Treatment of the two enzymes with sodium dodecyl sulfate, followed by disc gel electrophoresis revealed that both transaminases were composed of 31,000-dalton subunits. Tryptic digestion of the two transaminases showed that nearly identical peptides were present. The overall data suggest that the wild-type and inducible transaminases were products of two different structural genes. The two transaminases have different molecular weights, ionic charges, and antigenic determinants, but both are composed of similar molecular weight subunits and show a high degree of similarity in amino acid content and peptide composition.  相似文献

Nitrate reductase from Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity after release from membranes by deoxycholate treatment, was composed of two subunits of 155,000 (α) and 58,000 (β) daltons and contained no cytochrome b1. Analysis of fractions at different stages of purification by gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation revealed that during the early steps of the purification cytochrome b1 dissociated from the enzyme and the β subunit was altered in size as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the peptide patterns obtained by partial proteolysis of isolated α and β subunits established that these subunits are composed of distinct sequences and ruled out a precursor-product relationship between the two subunits. The β subunit was altered during the purification by loss of a 2000-dalton fragment, apparently from its carboxyl terminus. The protease inhibitor tosyllysine chloromethylketone protected nitrate reductase from more extensive degradation by endogenous proteases during the purification but did not prevent the removal of the 2000-dalton fragment. This carboxyl terminal fragment was part of a 15,000-dalton sequence which was removed by trypsin and which was required for the self-associating character of the unmodified enzyme monomers. From the structural changes which occurred during the purification procedure, it is proposed that the carboxyl terminal segment of the β subunit is involved in the binding of nitrate reductase to cytochrome b1 and its association with the membrane.  相似文献

Purification and properties of sucrose synthase from maize kernels   总被引:14,自引:9,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
Su JC  Preiss J 《Plant physiology》1978,61(3):389-393
Sucrose synthase was purified from 22-day-old maize (Zea mays L.) kernels to homogeneity by the successive steps of ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration through a Sephadex G-200 column, and affinity chromatography on a UDP-hexanol-amino-agarose column. The degree of purification is 42-fold and the yield is over 80%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic techniques, sedimentation velocity, and gel filtration studies revealed that the enzyme has identical subunits and could assume tetrameric, octameric, and other higher aggregated forms which are dependent on the ionic species and ionic strength of the solution. All of the enzyme forms exhibit catalytic activity but show differences in their specific activities. In most cases, the tetramer is the predominant form and has the highest specific activity. It is thus concluded that the tetramer could be the native form of the enzyme. The subunit protein has a molecular weight of 88,000 and a blocked NH2 terminus which is not available to Edman degradation. Some general properties and the amino acid composition of the enzyme are also reported.  相似文献

Arylsulfatase from Artemia salina exists in at least two forms (AS I and AS II). The paper presents characterization of the AS II form of the arylsulfatase. The enzyme was able to hydrolyze p-nitrocatechol sulfate (pNCS) as well as ascorbate sulfate. It exhibited maximum activity at temperature of 50 °C and was stable for 2 h at 4-10 °C. Optimum pH shifted from 6.2 at 4 mM pNCS (substrate) to 4.8 at 20 mM pNCS. The enzyme displayed linear kinetics. AS II arylsulfatase exists in two molecular forms (349 and 460 kDa) composed of identical subunits with molecular mass of 53 kDa. Sulfite and phosphate ions were the most potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Cyanide proved to be a weak inhibitor. Sulfate and low concentrations of silver ions had no effect on the enzyme activity. Based on the above results, modifications in the assay for determination of enzyme activity are proposed.  相似文献

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase has been isolated and crystallized in high yield from chicken breast muscle, which is a rich source of this enzyme. The specific activity assayed at pH 7.4 and 25 °C in the presence of 0.2 mm MnCl2 0.1 mm EDTA, and 40 mm ammonium sulfate is 50–60 units/mg, making this one of the most active fructose bisphosphatases yet described. The Km for fructose bisphosphate is 8.3 μm. AMP (0.4 μm) inhibits the activity at pH 7.4 almost completely. EDTA can be replaced as activator by citrate or histidine, which both give maximum activation at millimolar concentrations. Citrate is as effective as EDTA. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 144,000 and is composed of four subunits having a molecular weight of 36,000. Amino- and carboxy-terminal analyses indicate that the subunits are identical.  相似文献

Isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) was purified from acetate-grown cells of Candida brassicae E-17, by ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration column chromatographies. The purified enzyme was electrophoretically homogeneous. The molecular weight of this enzyme was 290,000 by gel filtration, and it was composed of four identical subunits whose molecular weights were 71,000 each. The pH and temperature optima were 6.8 and 37°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable from pH 6.0 to 7.0. The enzyme was activated by Mg2+ and the maximum activity was obtained with a concentration of 8 mM Mg2+. The enzyme was also activated by Mn2+ and Ba2+. The activity of this enzyme was stimulated by reducing agents. The Km values for dl-isocitrate were 1.5 mM in sodium phosphate buffer and 0.62 mM in imidazole-HCl buffer.  相似文献

We have identified three phosphoprotein phosphatases in the cytosol of human cord blood erythrocytes by sequential anion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The most abundant was E3 protein phosphatase. After rechromatography on a column of Ultrogel AcA-44 the enzyme had a molecular weight of 95,000 daltons. According to the data obtained by SDS/PAGE, the 95,000-dalton form was composed of non-identical subunits with a molecular mass of 23,000 and 16,000 daltons. Since ethanol decreased the molecular mass of the 95,000-dalton enzyme to 25,000 daltons, we suggest that the protein of 23,000-25,000 daltons represents the catalytic subunit. The decrease in the molecular weight is followed by a 2-fold increase in the Vmax value and by a change in kinetics: the negatively cooperative 95,000-dalton enzyme (h = 0.45) transforms into Michaelis-Menten kinetics (h = 1.0) in the 25,000-dalton form. Both molecular forms, 95,000 and 25,000 daltons, only dephosphorylated casein but not phosvitine and histones. Both forms were activated by CoCl2 and inhibited by organic, and most potently, by inorganic pyrophosphates to approximately the same degree. As opposed to the inorganic pyrophosphate, which affects the catalytic properties of the enzyme molecule, CoCl2 did not affect the catalytic properties of the enzymes, but it probably did affect the rate of 'E-S' complex formation. CoCl2 protected the 95,000-dalton enzyme from pyrophosphate inhibition. The data indicate that CoCl2 and pyrophosphate may take part in the regulation of the activity of both forms of E3 phosphatase.  相似文献

A procedure for the purification of a stable acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS) from aerobic cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is presented. The steps include differential centrifugation, solubilization of the bound enzyme from the crude mitochondrial fraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation, crystallization to constant specific activity from ammonium sulfate solutions followed by Bio-Gel A-1.5 m column chromatography. The resulting enzyme preparation is homogeneous as judged by chromatography on Bio-Gel columns, QAE-Sephadex A-50 anion exchange columns, analytical ultracentrifugal studies, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Sedimentation velocity runs revealed a single symmetric peak with an s20,w value of 10.6. The molecular weight of the native enzyme, as determined by gel filtration and analytical ultracentrifugation, is 250,000 ± 500. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the molecular weight of the single polypeptide chain is 83,000 ± 500. The purified enzyme is inhibited by palmityl-coenzyme A with a Hill interaction coefficient, n, of 2.88. These studies indicate that the ACS of aerobic S. cerevisiae is composed of three subunits of identical or nearly identical size.  相似文献

Citrate (si)-synthase (citrate oxaloacetate-lyase, EC 4.1.3.7) was purified as an electrophoretically homogeneous protein from a nitrite-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacterium, Nitrobacter agilis ATCC 14123. The molecular mass (Mr) of the native enzyme was estimated to be about 250,000 by gel filtration, whereas SDS-PAGE gave two bands with Mr values of 45,000 and 80,000, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme is a tetramer consisting of two different subunits (α: 45,000, β: 80,000). The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 5.4. The pH and temperature optima on the citrate synthase activity were about 7.5–8.0 and 30–35°C, respectively. The citrate synthase was stable in the pH range of 6.0–9.0 and up to 55°C. The apparent Km values for oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA were about 27 μM and 410 μM, respectively. The activity of citrate synthase was not inhibited by ATP (1 mM), NADH (1 mM) or 2-oxoglutarate (10 mM), but was strongly inhibited by SDS (1 mM). Activation by metal ions was not observed.  相似文献

Guanine aminohydrolase (GAH) (E.C. 3.5.4.3) was purified by affinity chromatography on 9-(p-β-aminoethoxyphenyl)guanine-Sepharose to a specific activity of 35.5 units/mg. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 110,000 by gel filtration. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) showed that the enzyme was composed of subunits with molecular weights of approximately 52,000. Data from SDS-gel electrophoresis in a discontinuous buffer system and from isoelectric focusing in the presence of 8-m urea indicated that more than one type of subunit were present. This was consistent with multiple forms of the native enzyme seen by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. The isoelectric points for the different forms of GAH were in the range of 4.65–4.85. Amino acid analyses showed cysteine to be the minimum amino acid and gave a calculated molecular weight for GAH of 53,016 when the assumption that there were four cysteines per subunit was made. Guanine, 8-azaguanine, and 6-thioguanine served as substrates for the enzyme but 3-deazaguanine, a potent competitive inhibitor of GAH, did not. Fluoride ion inhibited the enzyme in a noncompetitive manner, and this inhibition decreased as pH increased. Variation of the kinetic parameters with pH suggested that hydroxide ion might be the second substrate and that a functional group on the enzyme with a pKa near 5.6 was involved in the reaction. The enzyme was inactivated by treatment with p-hydroxymercurobenzoate and by photooxidation in the presence of rose bengal. Two plausible mechanisms are proposed for the reaction catalyzed by GAH.  相似文献

The reduced methylviolegen-nitrate reductase of the obligate thermophile, Bacillus stearothermophilus NCA strain 2184 (ATCC 12016), has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity, 53-fold with a yield of 12,5%. The purification procedure involved solubilization with octyl glucoside, ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange, and molecular sieve chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be about 210,000. The enzyme possesses two subunits of 150,000 and 44,000 daltons in equimolar ratio, and no cytochrome. There are 6 atoms of nonheme iron and 12 mol of labile sulfide in 1 mol of the purified enzyme. The 44,000-dalton β subunit is the smallest of all the characterized bacterial nitrate reductases and is very close to the size of the β1 subunit of Escherichia coli. The various β components of other bacterial nitrate reductases are probably derived from this 44,000-dalton subunit.  相似文献

A bacterium capable of hydrolyzing carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate) was isolated from a soil enrichment. This bacterium was characterized taxonomically as a Blastobacter sp. and designated strain M501. A carbaryl hydrolase present in this strain was purified to homogeneity by protamine sulfate treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and hydrophobic, anion-exchange, gel filtration, and hydroxylapatite chromatographies. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of 166,000 Da and was composed of two subunits with molecular masses of 84,000 Da. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were 9.0 and 45°C, respectively. The enzyme was not stable at temperatures above 40°C. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed seven N-methylcarbamate insecticides and also exhibited activity against 1-naphthyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl acetate.  相似文献

Citrate(si)-synthase (citrate oxaloacetate-lyasem EC 4.1.3.7) was purified as an electrophoretically homogeneous protein from an ammonia-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacterium, Nitrosomonas sp. TK794. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was estimated to be about 287 kDa by gel filtration, whereas SDS-PAGE produced one band with Mr values of 44.7 kDa, suggesting that the enzyme is a hexamer consisting of identical subunits. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 5.0. The pH and temperature optima for citrate synthase (CS) activity was about 7.5–8.0 and 40°C, respectively. The citrate synthase was stable over a pH range of 6.0–8.5 and up to 40°C. The apparent Km values for oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA were about 11 μM and 247 μM, respectively. The activity of the citrate synthase was not inhibited by ATP, NADH or 2-oxoglutarate at 5mM, and was activated by potassium chloride at 0.1–100 mM. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme protein was PPQDVATLSPGENKKTIELPILG.  相似文献

The restriction endonuclease AatII was purified from cell-free extracts of Acetobacter aceti IFO 3281 by streptomycin treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, combined column chromatographies on DEAE-Toyopearl 650S, heparin-Sepharose CL-6B and DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and FPLC on Mono Q and on Superose 12 (gel filtration). The purified enzyme was homogeneous on SDS-polyacrylamide gel disk electrophoresis. The relative molecular mass of the purified enzyme was 190,000 daltons by gel filtration. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel disk electrophoresis gave the relative molecular mass of 47,500 daltons. These data indicated that the purified, native enzyme is a tetramer (190,000 daltons) composed of four 47,500-dalton subunits. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 6.0. The purified enzyme was intensely activated by manganese ion (50-fold increase or more when compared with magnesium ion). The enzyme worked best at 37°C and pH 8.5 in a reaction mixture (50 μl) containing 1.0 μg λDNA, 10 mm Tris-HCl, 7 mm 2-mercaptoethanol, 7 mm MnCl2 and 50 mm NaCl. The enzyme recognizes the same palindromic hexanucleotide sequence 5′-GACGTC-3′, cuts between T and C and produces a 3′-tetranucleotide extension in the presence of MnCl2, as it does in the presence of MgCl2.  相似文献

Mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase has been purified to homogeneity by resolution of Complex I from beef heart mitochondria with the chaotrope NaClO4 and precipitation of the enzyme with ammonium sulfate. The enzyme is water-soluble, has a molecular weight of 69,000 ± 1000 as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and agarose 1.5 M. It is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein, with the ratio of flavin (FMN) to nonheme iron to labile sulfide being 1:5–6:5–6. The FMN content suggests a minimum molecular weight of 74,000 ± 3000 for the enzyme. NADH dehydrogenase is composed of three subunits with apparent Mr values, as determined by acrylamide gel electrophoresis as well as by gel filtration on agarose 5 M both in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, of about 51,000, 24,000, and 9–10,000. Coomassie blue stain intensities of the subunits on acrylamide gels suggest that they are present in NADH dehydrogenase in equimolar amounts. However, summation of the apparent Mr values of the dodecyl sulfate-treated subunits appears to overestimate the molecular weight of the native enzyme. The amino acid compositions of NADH dehydrogenase and of each of the isolated and purified subunits have been determined. NADH dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of NADH and NADPH by quinones, ferric compounds, and NAD (3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide was used). All the activities of NADH dehydrogenase are greatly stimulated by addition of guanidine (up to 150 mm), alkylguanidines, arginine, and arginine methyl ester to the assay medium. Phosphoarginine had no effect. These results pointed to the importance of the positively charged guanido group, which appears to interact with and neutralize the negative charges on NAD(P)H and thereby allow for better enzyme-substrate interaction. In the absence of guanidine, NADPH is essentially unoxidized by the enzyme at pH values above 6.0. However, both NADPH dehydrogenase and NADPH → NAD transhydrogenase activities increase dramatically as the assay pH is lowered below pH = 6. Since the pK of the 2′-phosphate of NADPH is 6.1, it appears that the above pH effect is related to protonation of the 2′-phosphate, thus rendering NADPH a closer electronic analog of NADH, which is the primary substrate of the enzyme.  相似文献

The apoenzyme of diol dehydrase was inactivated by modification with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (pyridoxal-P). The inactivation was accompanied by appearance of a new peak at 425 nm which was shifted to 325 nm by reduction with NaBH4. ?-N-Pyridoxyl lysine was detected by paper chromatography and paper electrophoresis from the hydrolysate of the NaBH4-reduced enzyme-pyridoxal-P complex. The relationship of inactivation vs pyridoxal-P incorporation as well as kinetic experiments suggests that one lysyl residue per enzyme molecule was essential for catalytic activity, although two to three pyridoxal-P molecules were introduced into the almost completely inactivated enzyme molecule. Both 1,2-propanediol (substrate) and adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme) completely protected the enzyme from inactivation. The result of disc gel electrophoresis showed that the inactivation of diol dehydrase by pyridoxal-P results from irreversible dissociation of the enzyme into subunits upon pyridoxal-P modification. Therefore, it is suggested that this modifiable lysyl residue is essential for subunit interaction to form an active oligomeric enzyme. The inactivated enzyme restored activity by addition of excess component F, but not by S, suggesting that the essential lysyl residue is located in component F of the enzyme. Pyridoxal-P-modified enzyme was no longer able to bind cyanocobalamin (a competitive inhibitor of adenosylcobalamin).  相似文献

Kinetics of two molecular forms of K-dependent citrate dehydrase in maize (Zea mays L.) are reported. The isozymes, designated CD I and CD II, were found to be compartmented in mitochondria and cytosol, respectively.

CD I exhibited hyperbolic kinetics with respect to both citrate and potassium with Km 2.3 and 12 millimolar, respectively. Maximum velocity was 0.38 micromole of trans-aconitic acid per minute per milligram protein. The pH optimum was 7.2. trans-aconitic synthesis by CD I is regulated by both citrate concentration and pH.

CD II exhibited hyperbolic kinetics with respect to citrate (Km 0.6 millimolar) but sigmoidal kinetics with respect to potassium. trans-aconitic acid synthesis by CD II is regulated by potassium. This may account for the positive correlation between leaf potassium and trans-aconitic acid in certain grasses (Clark 1968 Crop Sci 8: 165).
