Glutamate synthase was purified about 250-fold from Nocardia mediterranei U32 and characterized. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 195,000 +/- 5,000 and is composed of two nonidentical subunits with molecular weights of 145,000 +/- 5,000 and 55,000 +/- 3,000. This enzyme is a complex of iron-sulfur flavoproteins with absorption maxima at 278, 375, 410, and 440 nm. It contains 1.1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide, 1.0 mol of flavin mononucleotide, 7.5 mol of nonheme iron, and 7.2 mol of acid-labile sulfur per 200,000 g of protein. Km values for L-glutamine, alpha-ketoglutarate, and NADPH were 77, 53, and 110 microM, respectively. The activity of this glutamate synthase is inhibited by its products (i.e., glutamate and NADP), several amino acids, and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. 相似文献

Glutamate synthase was purified about 250-fold from Thiobacillus thioparus and was characterized. The molecular weight was estimated as 280,000 g/mol. The enzyme showed absorption maxima at 280, 380, and 450 nm and was inhibited by Atebrin, suggesting that T. thioparus glutamate synthase is a flavoprotein. The enzyme activity was also inhibited by iron chelators and thiolbinding agents. The enzyme was specific for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and alpha-ketoglutarate, but L-glutamine was partially replaced by ammonia as the amino donor. The Km values of glutamate synthase for NADPH, alpha-ketoglutarate, and glutamine were 3.0 muM, 50 muM, and 1.1 mM, respectively. The enzyme had a pH optimum between 7.3 and 7.8. Glutamate synthase from T. thioparus was relatively insensitive to feedback inhibition by single amino acids but was sensitive to the combined effects of several amino acids. Enzymes involved in glutamate synthesis in T. thioparus were studied. Glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase, as well as two glutamate dehydrogenases (NADH and NADPH dependent), were present in this organism. This levels of glutamate synthase and glutamate dehydrogenase were similar in T. thioparus grown on 0.7 or 7.0 mM ammonium sulfate. The sum of the activities of both glutamate dehydrogenases was only 1/25 of that of glutamate synthase under the assay conditions. It was concluded that the glutamine pathway is important for ammonia assimilation in this autotrophic bacterium. 相似文献

Chorismatic synthase was purified to apparent homogeneity from Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme required NADPH-dependent flavin reductase, Mg2+, NADPH, and flavin (FMN or FAD) for activity. The molecular weight of chorismate synthase was 24,000 as determined by sodium dedecyl sulfate (SDS)-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was also isolated in a complex form associated with NADPH-dependent flavin reductase and another enzyme of the aromatic amino acid pathway, dehydroquinate synthase. On SDS-gel electrophoresis, this form was resolved into three bands with molecular weights of 13,000, 17,000, and 24,000. The enzyme complex was easily dissociated and the dissociation resulted in a change in the chromatographic properties of NADPH-dependent flavin reductase which was no longer retained on phosphocellulose whereas chorismate synthase was still adsorbed. Chorismate synthase activity was linear with time and protein concentration, whereas partially purified preparations showed a significant lag period before the reaction took place. Moreover, crude or partially purified enzyme preparations were completely inactivated by dilution and the activity could be recovered by addition of flavin reductase. A possible role of NADPH-dependent flavin reductase in the activation and regulation of chorismate synthase activity is discussed. 相似文献

The arginine-specific carbamoyl-phosphate synthase of yeast was stabilized sufficiently to allow partial purification of the enzyme (30- to 40-fold). The synthase (mol. wt 115000) comprised two unequal subunits: a heavy subunit (mol. wt 80000) capable of catalysing synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate with ammonia as a nitrogen donor and a light subunit conferring upon the holoenzyme the ability to utilize glutamine. The enzyme had unusually high affinity for ATP (Km = 0.2 mM) and atypical negative cooperativity for glutamine binding ([S]0.5 = 0.25 mM). Glutamine activity was not modulated by possible effectors such as arginine, ornithine or N-acetylglutamate. Thus, although the yeast arginine enzyme physically and functionally resembles the single enteric synthase, the systems differ substantially both in kinetic properties and in regulation of activity. 相似文献

An NADH-dependent glutamate synthase has been purified 500-fold from the plant cytoplasm fraction of Lupinus angustifolius nodules. It consists of a single polypeptide chain, Mr 235000. The optimum pH is 8.5, at which Km values for 2-oxoglutarate, glutamine and NADH are 39 micrometer, 400 micrometer and 1.3 micrometer respectively. The catalytic centre activity is of the order of 70 s-1 and is independent of pH between 6.5 and 9.5. Glutamate synthase is inhibited by glutamic acid, oxaloacetic acid, aspartic acid and asparagine, all competitive with 2-oxoglutarate; and by NAD+, which is competitive with NADH. There is evidence of two flavine prosthetic groups per enzyme molecule. 相似文献

Citrate synthase (citrate-oxaloacetate lyase (CoA acetylating), EC 4.1.3.7) has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a marine Pseudomonas. The enzyme was made up of identical subunits, with a molecular wieght of about 53 000, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native enzyme (citrate synthase II, CS II) could be dissociated by dialysis against 20 mM phosphate (Pi), pH 7; the enzyme thus obtained (citrate synthase I, CS I) was still active, but presented different molecular weight and kinetic and regulatory properties. CS II was activated by adenosine monophosphate (AMP), Pi, and KCl, and inhibited by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), being apparently insensitive to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The inhibition by NADH was completely counteracted by 0.1 mM AMP, but not by 50 mM Pi or 0.1 M KCl. The activation by KCl and Pi, or by KCl and AMP was nearly additive, whereas that by AMP and Pi was not. The activators acted essentially by increasing Vmax, although they also caused a decrease in the Km values. CS I was inhibited by ATP, ADP, AMP, and KCl, and was insensitive to NADH. CS I could be reassociated after elimination of Pi by dialysis, regaining the higher molecular weight and the activation by AMP characteristic of CS II. 相似文献

3-Hexulosephosphate synthase, the first enzyme of the ribulose monophosphate cycle, was purified 15-fold from methanol-grown Methylomonas M 15. The purification procedure involved chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, and DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The purified enzyme was more than 95% pure as judged by analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was calculated to be 43000 from sedimentation equilibrium experiments. Electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate gels gave a single band corresponding to a molecular weight of 22000. The enzyme catalyzes specifically the condensation formaldehyde with ribulose 5-phosphate to yield D-arabino-3-hexulose 6-phosphate. The Km values were found to be 1.1 mM for formaldehyde and 1.6 mM for ribulose 5-phosphate. A bivalent cation is essential for activity and stability of the enzyme, Mg2+ and Mn2+ serve best for this purpose. The optimum of pH for enzyme activity is 7.5--8.0. 相似文献

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

Cysteine synthase was purified 3200-fold from Spinacia oleracea leaves. The purified enzyme has an apparent M, of 60 000 ± 2000 and can be dissociated into identical subunits of M, 32 000 ± 2000. The subunits contain one molecule of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The Km value is 2.9 mM for O-acetyl-L-serine and 22 μM for sulphide. Cysteine synthase from S. oleracea catalysed the formation of β-(pyrazol-1-yl)-L-alanine, and β-(3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-L-alanine, and significant differences were found between this enzyme and β-substituted alanine synthases and cysteine synthase from other sources. Amino acid composition of the purified enzyme was also determined. 相似文献

beta-Alanine synthase (EC 3.5.1.6) catalyzes the conversion of N-carbamyl-beta-alanine to beta-alanine, ammonia and CO2. The enzyme has been purified to apparent homogeneity from calf liver. The molecular size, pH optimum and substrate specificity have been determined. Sequence alignment of beta-alanine synthases with N-carbamyl-D-amino acid amidohydrolase from Agrobacter sp. revealed the conservation of a catalytically important triad Glu-Lys-Cys, most likely involved in the breakdown of N-carbamyl-beta-alanine. 相似文献

Glutamate synthase (EC 1 4 1 14) was purified to homogeneity from a cell\|free extract of Streptomyces lincolnensis by precipitation with streptomycin sulfate and ammonium sulfate, and column chromatography on DEAE\| cellulose, Sepharose 6B, DEAE\|sephadex A\|50, hydroxyapatite and Sephadex G\|150. The enzyme activity is stabilized by addition of α ketoglutarate, PMSF,EDTA, β mercaptoethanol and glycerol. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 138 000 and is composed of two nonidentical subunits with molecular weights of 81 000 and 57 000. Spectroscopic examination of the enzyme gave absorption maximum at 280 and none at 380 and 440 nm, indicating the absence of iron and flavin. The enzyme shows optimum activity at pH 7.2 and 30℃. Km values for α ketoglutarate, L\|glutamine and NADH were 417, 435, and 52.1 μmol/L, respectively. When NADPH was substituted for NADH as reductant, there was approximately 13% of the control activity. The activity of this glutamate synthase is inhibited by its products (i.e. glutamate and NAD), several metal ions, amino acids and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. 相似文献

3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase, the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway was isolated from Nocardia mediterranei. It has a molecular weight of approx. 135,000, and four identical subunits, each with a molecular weight of 35,000. The Km values for phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-erythrose 4-phosphate (E-4-P) were 0.4 and 0.25 mM, respectively, and kinetic study showed that LTrp inhibited DAHP synthase activity, but was not competitive with respect to PEP or E-4-P. The enzyme activity was inhibited by excess of E-4-P added in the incubation system. D-ribose 5-phosphate (R-5-P), D-glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) or D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate (Su-7-P) etc. inhibited DAHP synthase in cell-free extract, but on partially purified enzyme no inhibitory effect was detected. The indirect inhibition of R-5-P and other sugar phosphates was considered to be due to the formation of E-4-P catalyzed by the related enzymes present in cell-free extract. 相似文献

Glutamate synthase [L-glutamate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (transaminating); EC 1.4.1.13](GltS) was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus licheniformis A5. The native enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 220,000 and was composed of two nonidentical subunits (molecular weights, approximately 158,000 and approximately 54,000). The enzyme was found to contain 8.1 +/- 1 iron atoms and 8.1 +/- 1 acid-labile sulfur atoms per 220,000-dalton dimer. Two flavin moieties were found per 220,000-dalton dimer, with a ratio of flavin adenine dinucleotide to flavin mononucleotide of 1.2. The UV-visible spectrum of the enzyme exhibited maxima at 263,380 and 450 nm. The GltS from B. licheniformis had a requirement for NADPH, alpha-ketoglutarate, and glutamine. Classical hyperbolic kinetics were seen for NADPH affinity, which resulted in an apparent Km value of 13 microM. Nonhyperbolic kinetics were obtained for alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamine affinities, and the reciprocal plots obtained for these substrates were biphasic. The apparent Km values obtained for glutamine were 8 and 100 microM, and the apparent Km values obtained for alpha-ketoglutarate were 6 and 50 microM. GltS activity was found to be relatively insensitive to inhibition by amino acids, keto acids, or various nucleotides. L-Methionine-DL-sulfoximine, L-methionine sulfone, and DL-methionine sulfoxide were found to be potent inhibitors of GltS activity, yielding I0.5 values of 150, 11, and 250 microM, respectively. GltSs were purified from cells grown in the presence of ammonia and nitrate as sole nitrogen sources and were compared. Both yielded identical final specific activities and identical physical (UV-visible spectra, flavin, and iron-sulfur composition) and kinetic characteristics. 相似文献
