云南纵坑切梢小蠹四个地理种群同工酶比较研究

采用不连续聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术研究了纵坑切梢小蠹（Ｔｏｍ ｉｃｕｓ ｐｉｎｉｐｅｒｄａ Ｌ．）４ 个自然种群的９ 个同工酶基因座。４ 个种群均在Ｅｓ－ １、Ｅｓ－ ２、Ｅｓ－ ４、Ｍｄｈ－ １、Ｍｄｈ－ ２ 及ＡＡＴ－ １ 基因座上存在遗传多态现象。路南长湖、楚雄、蒙自３ 种群间的遗传距离为０．００３６～０．０１７３, 平均值为０．０１０５, 表明其遗传结构基本相似。丽江种群与上述３ 种群之间的遗传距离为０．１４２１～０．２０３５, 平均值为０．１７６５,表明丽江种群与上述三种群已有了遗传分化。丽江种群近交系数较大,近亲繁殖程度较高。种群遗传结构的差异可能与不同蠹害程度之间存在一定的内在联系。

Production, isolation, and purification of L-asparaginase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 50071 using solid-state fermentation

The L-asparaginase (E. C. 3. 5. 1. 1) enzyme was purified to homogeneity from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 50071 cells that were grown on solid-state fermentation. Different purification steps (including ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by separation on Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and CM-Sephadex C50) were applied to the crude culture filtrate to obtain a pure enzyme preparation. The enzyme was purified 106-fold and showed a final specific activity of 1900 IU/mg with a 43% yield. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the purified enzyme revealed it was one peptide chain with M(r) of 160 kDa. A Lineweaver-Burk analysis showed a K(m) value of 0.147 mM and V(max) of 35.7 IU. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 9 when incubated at 37 degrees C for 30 min. The amino acid composition of the purified enzyme was also determined.     

Purification and characterization of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from the aniline degradation pathway of Acinetobacter sp. YAA and its mutant enzyme, which resists substrate inhibition

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), a key enzyme in the meta-cleavage pathway of catechol metabolism, was purified from cell extract of recombinant Escherichia coli JM109 harboring the C23O gene (atdB) cloned from an aniline-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter sp. YAA. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography analysis suggested that the enzyme (AtdB) has a molecular mass of 35 kDa as a monomer and forms a tetrameric structure. It showed relative meta-cleavage activities for the following catechols tested: catechol (100%), 3-methylcatechol (19%), 4-methylcatechol (57%), 4-chlorocatechol (46%), and 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (5%). To elevate the activity, a DNA self-shuffling experiment was carried out using the atdB gene. One mutant enzyme, named AtdBE286K, was obtained. It had one amino acid substitution, E286K, and showed 2.4-fold higher C23O activity than the wild-type enzyme at 100 microM. Kinetic analysis of these enzymes revealed that the wild-type enzyme suffered from substrate inhibition at >2 microM, while the mutant enzyme loosened substrate inhibition.     

Further Characterization of an Enkephalin-Generating Enzyme from Adrenal Medullary Chromaffin Granules

An adrenomedullary protease capable of generating Met5-enkephalin from endogenous precursor(s) has been purified 1,000-fold using affinity chromatography in combination with gel filtration. This trypsin-like enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 20,000 daltons by gel filtration. The reactivity of the enzyme toward several fluorogenic peptides, Peptides E and F, and the heptapeptides, Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 and Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Arg7, was examined. The two heptapeptides and the fluorogenic compounds were poor substrates for the adrenal enzyme; in contrast, Peptides E and F were cleaved. The low molecular weight products of Peptide F digestion were identified by HPLC as Arg1-Met6-enkephalin, Met5-enkephalin, and Met5-enkephalin-Lys6, while digestion of Peptide E resulted in the production of Leu5-enkephalin and Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Arg7. [3H]-beta m-Lipotropin was not hydrolyzed by the adrenal enzyme. These results indicate that this adreno-medullary protease is capable of cleaving adrenal opioid peptides at the paired basic sites and thus represents a possible candidate for a proenkephalin-converting enzyme.     

Purification and characterization of ATP:AMP phosphotransferase from Mycobacterium marinum

ATP:AMP phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.4.3) (adenylate kinase) has been purified 1746-fold from Mycobacterium marinum (ATCC 927) by successive column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose (DE-53), Reactive Blue agarose, Sephadex G-75, hydroxyapatite and, finally, DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The final enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 576 mumol/min per mg protein with an overall yield of 51%. The preparation was homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was estimated to have an Mr of 29500 and an isoelectric point of 6.7, properties which generally resemble those of the mitochondrial enzyme. Indeed, the two enzymes failed to separate when subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. The extinction coefficient (at 276 nm) was calculated to be 3.114 X 10(4) M-1 X cm-1 and E1%1cm = 10.556. Adenylate kinase was present at a concentration of 0.06 mg/g (wet weight) bacteria. Enzyme was stable for months in 60% glycerol in the freezer; at 4 degrees C, less than 5% of the activity was lost over a 7 day period.     

10,20-Methanorhodopsins: (7E,9E,13E)-10,20-methanorhodopsin and (7E,9Z,13Z)-10,20-methanorhodopsin. 11-cis-locked rhodopsin analog pigments with unusual thermal and photo-stability

Synthesis of the retinal analog, 10,20-methanoretinal (R6), where the 11Z conformation is locked in a six-membered ring, yielded four stereoisomers (7E,9E,13E, 7E,9E,13Z, 7E,9Z,13E and 7E,9Z,13Z). These four isomers were separated by straight-phase isocratic HPLC and identified by 1H-NMR and NOE analysis. All isomers smoothly recombined with bovine opsin at a relatively high rate (5-10% of that of the natural chromophore 11Z-retinal). The corresponding 13E and 13Z isomers yielded identical analog pigments, probably due to rapid thermal isomerization around the C13 = C14 double bond. The (7E,9E)-isomers produced a pigment with maximal absorbance at 510 nm, while the pigment produced from the (7E,9Z)-isomers had maximal absorbance at 494 nm. Based upon kinetic considerations, the chromophore structure in the 510-nm-absorbing pigment should be (7E,9E,13E), i.e. equivalent to 11Z-retinal and rhodopsin, while the chromophore structure in the 494-nm-absorbing pigment should be (7E,9Z,13Z), i.e. equivalent to (9Z,11Z,13Z)-rhodopsin, an isorhodopsin analog. In analogy to the 11-cis-locked rhodopsin analogs Rh5 and Rh7, the 510-nm-absorbing pigment, (7E,9E,13E)-10,20-methanorhodopsin, was dubbed Rh6 and the 494-nm-absorbing pigment. (7E,9Z,13Z)-10,20-methanorhodopsin, was dubbed Iso6. The opsin shift of Rh6 (2660 cm-1) is practically identical to that of rhodopsin itself (2650 cm-1). Rh6 and Iso6 are nearly as stable as rhodopsin towards hydroxylamine and solubilization in detergent solution and could be easily purified and reconstituted into proteoliposomes by established procedures. Due to the 11-cis-lock, Rh6 is much less photolabile (bleaching rate less than 1%) than rhodopsin, but it is not completely photostable, probably since photoisomerization around the C7 = C8, C9 = C10 and C13 = C14 bonds is allowed. Illumination of either Rh6 or Iso6 does not generate the common photointermediates but instead produces a complex pattern of photochemical transitions, which during continuous illumination leads to the same final steady state, absorbing at 498 nm. This process is accompanied by a slow but steady loss of pigment, probably due to hydrolytic release of chromophore, which is markedly accelerated in the presence of hydroxylamine. In a physiological assay (light-dependent activation of rod cGMP phosphodiesterase) Rh6 is only marginally active and this probably reflects conformational changes accompanying the above-mentioned photochemical transitions. This supports the concept that normal rhodopsin-based phototransduction requires 11Z to all-E isomerization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Purification and Characterization of alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis CUMC305

alpha-Amylase produced by Bacillus licheniformis CUMC305 was purified 212-fold with a 42% yield through a series of four steps. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and discontinuous gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme showed maximal activity at 90 degrees C and pH 9.0, and 91% of this activity remained at 100 degrees C. The enzyme retained 91, 79, and 71% maximal activity after 3 h of treatment at 60 degrees C, 3 h at 70 degrees C, and 90 min at 80 degrees C, respectively, in the absence of substrate. On the contrary, in the presence of substrate (soluble starch), the alpha-amylase enzyme was fully stable after a 4-h incubation at 100 degrees C. The enzyme showed 100% stability in the pH range 7 to 9; 95% stability at pH 10; and 84, 74, 68, and 50% stability at pH values of 6, 5, 4, and 3, respectively, after 18 h of treatment. The activation energy for this enzyme was calculated as 5.1 x 10 J/mol. The molecular weight was estimated to be 28,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The relative rates of hydrolysis of soluble starch, amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen were 1.27, 1.8, 1.94, and 2.28 mg/ml, respectively. V(max) values for hydrolysis of these substrates were calculated as 0.738, 1.08, 0.8, and 0.5 mg of maltose/ml per min, respectively. Of the cations, Na, Ca, and Mg, showed stimulatory effect, whereas Hg, Cu, Ni, Zn, Ag, Fe, Co, Cd, Al, and Mn were inhibitory. Of the anions, azide, F, SO(3), SO(4), S(2)O(3), MoO(4), and Wo(4) showed an excitant effect. p-Chloromercuribenzoic acid and sodium iodoacetate were inhibitory, whereas cysteine, reduced glutathione, thiourea, beta-mercaptoethanol, and sodium glycerophosphate afforded protection to enzyme activity. alpha-Amylase was fairly resistant to EDTA treatment at 30 degrees C, but heating at 90 degrees C in presence of EDTA resulted in the complete loss of enzyme activity, which could be recovered partially by the addition of Cu and Fe but not by the addition of Ca or any other divalent ions.

Transaldolase B of Escherichia coli K-12: cloning of its gene, talB, and characterization of the enzyme from recombinant strains.

A previously recognized open reading frame (T. Yura, H. Mori, H. Nagai, T. Nagata, A. Ishihama, N. Fujita, K. Isono, K. Mizobuchi, and A. Nakata, Nucleic Acids Res. 20:3305-3308) from the 0.2-min region of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome is shown to encode a functional transaldolase activity. After cloning of the gene onto high-copy-number vectors, transaldolase B (D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate:D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dihydroxyacetone transferase; EC 2.2.1.2) was overexpressed up to 12.7 U mg of protein-1 compared with less than 0.1 U mg of protein-1 in wild-type homogenates. The enzyme was purified from recombinant E. coli K-12 cells by successive ammonium sulfate precipitations (45 to 80% and subsequently 55 to 70%) and two anion-exchange chromatography steps (Q-Sepharose FF, Fractogel EMD-DEAE tentacle column; yield, 130 mg of protein from 12 g of cell wet weight) and afforded an apparently homogeneous protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a subunit size of 35,000 +/- 1,000 Da. As the enzyme had a molecular mass of 70,000 Da by gel filtration, transaldolase B is likely to form a homodimer. N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the protein verified its identity with the product of the cloned gene talB. The specific activity of the purified enzyme determined at 30 degrees C with the substrates fructose-6-phosphate (donor of C3 compound) and erythrose-4-phosphate (acceptor) at an optimal pH (50 mM glycylglycine [pH 8.5]) was 60 U mg-1.Km values for the substrates fructose-6-phosphate and erythrose-4-phosphate were determined at 1,200 and 90 microM, respectively. Kinetic constants for the other two physiological reactants, D,L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (Km, 38 microM; relative activity [V(rel)], 8%) and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate (K(m), 285 microM; V(rel), 5%) were also determined. Fructose acted as a C(3) donor at a high apparent K(m) (>/=M) and with a V(rel) of 12%. The enzyme was inhibited by Tris-HCl, phosphate, or sugars with the L configuration at C(2) (L-glyceraldehyde, D-arabinose-5-phosphate).     

Control of sulfatase and sulfotransferase activities by medrogestone in the hormone-dependent MCF-7 and T-47D human breast cancer cell lines.

In the present study, we explored the effect of the progestin medrogestone on the sulfatase and sulfotransferase activities in the hormone-dependent MCF-7 and T-47D human breast cancer cell lines. After 24 h incubation at 37 degrees C of physiological concentrations of estrone sulfate ([3H]-E1S: 5x10(-9) mol/l), it was observed that this estrogen was converted in a great proportion to E2 in both cell lines. Medrogestone significantly inhibits this transformation, at all the concentrations tested (5x10(-8) to 5x10(-5) mol/l), in both cell lines. The IC50 values were 1.93 micromol/l and 0.21 micromol/l in MCF-7 and T-47D cells, respectively. In another series of studies, after 24 h incubation at 37 degrees C of physiological concentrations of estrone ([3H]-E1: 5x10(-9) mol/l), the sulfotransferase activity was detectable in both cell lines. Estrogen sulfates (ES) are found exclusively in the culture medium, which suggests that as soon as they are formed they are excreted into the medium. Medrogestone has a biphasic effect on sulfotransferase activity in both cell lines. At low doses: 5x10(-8) and 5x10(-7) mol/l, this compound stimulates the enzyme by +73.5 and 52.7%, respectively, in MCF-7, and by 84.5 and 62.6% in T-47D cells. At high concentrations: 5x10(-6) and 5x10(-5) mol/l, medrogestone has no effect on MCF-7 cells, but inhibits the sulfotransferase activity in T-47D cells by -31.4% at 5x10(-5) mol/l. In conclusion, the inhibitory effect provoked by medrogestone on the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of E2 (sulfatase pathway) in estrogen-dependent breast cancer, as well as the stimulatory effect on the formation of the inactive ES, support a probable anti-proliferative effect of this progestin in breast tissue. Clinical applications of these findings can open new therapeutic possibilities for this disease.     

Phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus. Evidence for essential lysine residues.

1. Phospholipase C was inactivated by exposure to the three amino-group reagents, ethyl acetamidate, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzensulphonic acid and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate plus reduction. 2. Inactivation by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate showed the characteristics of Schiff's base formation with the enzyme. The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-treated enzyme after reduction had an absorbance maximum at 325 mm and 6-N-pyridoxyl-lysine was the only fluorescent component after acid hydrolysis. 3. For complete inactivation, 2 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate or 7 mol of 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl were incorporated/mol of enzyme. 4. The two apparently essential lysine residues were much more reactive to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate than the other 19 lysine residues in the enzyme. 5. Binding of phospholipase C to a substrate-based affinity gel caused marked protection against inactivation by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. For complete inactivation of the gel-bound enzyme, 5 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate were incorporated/mol of enzyme and there was no evidence of two especially reactive lysine residues. 6. On application of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-treated enzyme (remaining activity 30% of original) to a column of the affinity gel, some material bound and some did not. The latter contained very little enzyme activity and was heavily incorporated with reagent (9.06 mol/mol of enzyme). The former had a specific activity of 34% of that of the control and contained 1.29 mol of reagent/mol of enzyme. 7. Thus phospholipase C appears to contain two lysine residues that are essential for enzyme activity, but probably not for substrate binding.
