The DNAase in human urine was purified about 30-fold with a recovery of 28%. This involved DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography steps and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The enzyme required divalent cations such as Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ for activity, but Ca2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ were ineffective. EDTA and G-actin inhibited the reaction. The maximum activity was observed at pH 5.5 in acetate buffer plus Co2+ or Mg2+ and Ca2+. It had a molecular weight of approximately 38 000, estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and isoelectric point of around pH 3.9. The enzyme is an endonuclease which hydrolyzes native, double-stranded DNA about 3 to 4 times faster than thermally denatured DNA to produce 5'-phosphoryl- and 3'-hydroxyl-terminated oligonucleotides. The final preparation was free of non-specific acid and alkaline phosphatases, phosphodiesterase and ribonuclease activities. 相似文献

Cyclic GMP-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase purified greater than 13,000-fold to apparent homogeneity from calf liver exhibited a single protein band (Mr approximately 102,000) on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Enzyme activity comigrated with the single protein peak on analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and gel filtration. From the sedimentation coefficient of 6.9 S and Stokes radius of 67 A, an Mr of 201,000 and frictional ratio (f/fo) of 1.7 were calculated, suggesting that the native enzyme is a nonspherical dimer of similar, if not identical, peptides. The effectiveness of Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ in supporting catalytic activity depended on the concentration of cGMP and cAMP present as substrate or effector. Over a wide range of substrate concentrations, optimal concentrations for Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ were about 10, 1, and 0.2 mM, respectively. At concentrations higher than optimal, Mg2+ inhibited activity somewhat; inhibition by Co2+ (and in some instances by Mn2+) was virtually complete. At low substrate concentrations, activity with optimal Mn2+ was equal to or greater than that with Co2+ and always greater than that with Mg2+. With greater than or equal to 0.5 microM cGMP or 20 to 300 microM cAMP and for cAMP-stimulated cGMP or cGMP-stimulated cAMP hydrolysis, activity with Mg2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Co2+. In the presence of Mg2+, the purified enzyme hydrolyzed cGMP and cAMP with kinetics suggestive of positive cooperativity. Apparent Km values were 15 and 33 microM, and maximal velocities were 200 and 170 mumol/min/mg of protein, respectively. Substitution of Mn2+ for Mg2+ increased apparent Km and reduced Vmax for cGMP with little effect on Km or Vmax for cAMP. Co2+ increased Km and reduced Vmax for both. cGMP stimulated cAMP hydrolysis approximately 32-fold in the presence of Mg2+, much less with Mn2+ or Co2+. In the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ at concentrations that increased activity when present singly inhibited cGMP-stimulated cAMP hydrolysis. It appears that divalent cations as well as cyclic nucleotides affect cooperative interactions of this enzyme. Whereas Co2+ effects were observed in the presence of either cyclic nucleotide, Mn2+ effects were especially prominent when cGMP was present (either as substrate or effector). 相似文献

Intracellular hexose-6-phosphate:phosphohydrolase from Streptococcus lactis: purification, properties, and function. 总被引:10,自引:6,他引:4
An intracellular hexose 6-phosphate:phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.2) has been purified from Streptococcus lactis K1. Polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme revealed one major activity staining protein and one minor inactive band. The Mr determined by gel permeation chromatography was 36,500, but sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single polypeptide of apparent Mr 60,000. The enzyme exhibited a marked preference for hexose 6-phosphates, and the rate of substrate hydrolysis (at 5 mM concentration) decreased in the order, galactose 6-phosphate greater than 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate greater than fructose 6-phosphate greater than mannose 6-phosphate greater than glucose 6-phosphate. Hexose 1-phosphates, p-nitrophenylphosphate, pyrophosphate, and nucleotides were not hydrolyzed at a significant rate. In addition, the glycolytic intermediates comprising the intracellular phosphoenolpyruvate potential in the starved cells (phosphoenolpyruvate and 2- and 3-phosphoglyceric acids) were not substrates for the phosphatase. Throughout the isolation, the hexose 6-phosphate:phosphohydrolase was stabilized by Mn2+ ion, and the purified enzyme was dependent upon Mn2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, or Co2+ for activation. Other divalent metal ions including Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, and Ni2+ were unable to activate the enzyme, and the first four cations were potent inhibitors. Enzymatic hydrolysis of 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate was inhibited by fluoride when Mg2+ was included in the assay, but only slight inhibition occurred in the presence of Mn2+, Fe2+, or Co2+. The inhibitory effect of Mg2+ plus fluoride was specifically and completely reversed by Fe2+ ion. The hexose 6-phosphate:phosphohydrolase catalyzes the in vivo hydrolysis of 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate in stage II of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent futile cycle in S. lactis (J. Thompson and B. M. Chassy, J. Bacteriol. 151:1454-1465, 1982). 相似文献

The effect of divalent cations on bovine sperm adenylate cyclase activity was studied. Mn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ were found to satisfy the divalent cation requirement for catalysis of the bovine sperm adenylate cyclase. These divalent cations in excess of the amount necessary for the formation of the metal-ATP substrate complex were found to stimulate the enzyme activity to various degrees. The magnitude of stimulation at saturating concentrations of the divalent cations was strikingly greater with M2+ than with either Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ or Co2+. The apparent Km was lowest for Zm2+ (0.1 - 0.2 mM) than for any of the other divalent cations tested (1.2 - 2.3 mM). The enzyme stimulation by Mn2+ was decreased by the simultaneous addition of Co2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and particularly Zn2+ and Cu2+. The antagonism between Mn2+ and Cu2+ or Zn2+ appeared to have both competitive and non-competitive features. The inhibitory effect of Cu2+ on Mn2+-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was prevented by 2,3-dimercaptopropanol, but not by dithiothreitol, L-ergothioneine, EDTA, EGTA or D-penicillamine. Ca2+ at concentrations of 1-5 mM was found to act synergistically with Mg2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Mn2+ in stimulating sperm adenylate cyclase activity. The Ca2+ augmentation of the stimulatory effect of Zn2+, Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+ appeared to be specific. 相似文献

Sphingomyelinase (SMase) from Bacillus cereus has been known to be activated by Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+, but strongly inhibited by Zn2+. In the present study, we investigated the effects of several kinds of metal ions on the catalytic activity of B. cereus SMase, and found that the activity was inhibited by Zn2+ at its higher concentrations or at higher pH values, but unexpectedly activated at lower Zn2+ concentrations or at lower pH values. This result indicates that SMase possesses at least two different binding sites for Zn2+ and that the Zn2+ binding to the high-affinity site can activate the enzyme, whereas the Zn2+ binding to the low-affinity site can inactivate it. We also found that the binding of substrate to the enzyme was independent of the Zn2+ binding to the high-affinity site, but was competitively inhibited by the Zn2+ binding to the low-affinity site. The binding affinity of the metal ions to the site for activating the enzyme was determined to be in the rank-order of Mg2+ = Co2+ < Mn2+ < Zn2+. It was also demonstrated that these four metal ions competed with each other for the same binding site on the enzyme molecule. 相似文献

The restriction endonuclease FokI from Flavobacterium okeanokoites was purified to homogeneity. Based on gel filtration, sedimentation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, the following properties of the enzyme were determined: FokI exists in one active monomeric form, and has an Mr of 64-65.4 x 10(3).FokI is a strongly basic protein with an isoelectric point of 9.4. The enzyme exhibits restriction activity in the pH range 5.0 to 10.5 (maximum level at pH 7.0-8.5) and its divalent cation requirement is satisfied not only by Mg2+, but also by Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ and Fe2+. 相似文献

Some divalent metal ions were examined for their effects on sphingomyelinase activity of Bacillus cereus. The enzyme activity toward mixed micelles of sphingomyelin and Triton X-100 proved to be stimulated by Co2+ and Mn2+, as well as by Mg2+. Km's for Co2+ and Mn2+ were 7.4 and 1.7 microM, respectively, being smaller than the Km for Mg2+ (38 microM). Sr2+ proved to be a competitive inhibitor against Mg2+, with a Ki value of 1 mM. Zn2+ completely abolished the enzyme activity at concentrations above 0.5 mM. The concentration of Zn2+ causing 50% inhibition of the enzyme activity was 2.5 microM. Inhibition by Zn2+ was not restored by increasing concentrations of Mg2+ when the concentration of Zn2+ was above 10 microM. Ba2+ was without effect. When sphingomyelinase was incubated with unsealed ghosts of bovine erythrocytes at 37 degrees C, the enzyme was significantly adsorbed onto the membrane in the presence of Mn2+, Co2+, Sr2+ or Ba2+. Incubation with intact or Pronase-treated erythrocytes caused enzyme adsorption only in the presence of Mn2+. In the course of incubation, the enzyme was first adsorbed on the membranes of intact bovine erythrocytes in the presence of Mn2+; then sphingomyelin breakdown proceeded with ensuing desorption of adsorbed enzyme. Hot-cold hemolysis occurred in parallel with sphingomyelin breakdown. In this case, the hydrolysis of membranous sphingomyelin as well as the initial enzyme adsorption took place in the following order: unsealed ghosts greater than Pronase-treated erythrocytes greater than intact erythrocytes. 相似文献

The presence of a divalent metal ion together with a catalytic amount of inosine 5'-diphosphate (IDP) is essential for the formation of pyruvate from oxalacetate catalyzed by purified rat liver cytosol phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK). With decreasing order of effectiveness, this pyruvate-forming activity was supported by micromolar levels of Cd2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, and Co2+. At the same concentrations, Mg2+ or Ca2+ was not effective. Combinations of Cd2+ with either Zn2+, Mn2+ or Co2+ were not additive with respect to the pyruvate-forming activity of PEPCK. Kinetic determination, with Cd2+ as the supporting cation, showed a 1:1 stoichiometry of interaction between each enzyme molecule and the nonconsumable substrate IDP. With 10 muM added Cd2+, the apparent Km for oxalacetate was 41 muM, and the apparent Ka for IDP was 0.25 muM. With Zn2+ or Mn2+, the apparent Ka for IDP was 0.2 or 0.13 muM, respectively. The effect of divalent transition-metal ions on PEPCK-catalyzed formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from oxalacetate was also investigated. Under steady-state conditions, the basal activity with MgITP was effectively enhanced with micromolar levels of Mn2+, Cd2+, or Co2+ included in the assay. The Vm increased 7- and 3.6-fold, and the apparent Km for MgITP changed by about a factor of 2 with the optimal concentrations of Mn2+ and Co2+, respectively. The most striking changes were in the apparent Km values for oxalacetate, which decreased to one-third and one-tenth when either Mn2+ or Co2+ was present in the assay together with Mg2+. The possible physiological importance of this kinetic effect is discussed. 相似文献

A differential effect is found of various bivalent cations (Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Hg2+) on stability of intermolecular Py-Pu-Pu triplex with different sequence of base triads. Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ do stabilize the d(C)n d(G)n d(G)n triplex whereas Ba2+ and Hg2+ do not. Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Hg2+ destabilize the d(TC)n d(GA)n d(AG)n triplex whereas Cd2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ stabilize it. The complexes we observe are rather stable because they do not dissociate during time of gel electrophoresis in the co-migration experiments. Chemical probing experiments with dimethyl sulfate as a probe indicate that an arbitrary homopurine-homopyrimidine sequence forms triplex with corresponding purine oligonucleotide in the presence of Mn2+ or Zn2+, but not Mg2+. In the complex the purine oligonucleotide has antiparallel orientation with respect to the purine strand of the duplex. Specifically, we have shown the formation of the Py-Pu-Pu triplex in a fragment of human papilloma virus HPV-16 in the presence of Mn2+. 相似文献

Bovine liver dihydropyrimidine amidohydrolase (EC 3.5.2.2) has been subjected to atomic absorption analysis. Three different preparations of homogeneous enzyme indicated that the enzyme contains 4.3 +/- 0.3 g atoms of Zn2+ per mol of enzyme or 1.1 g atoms of Zn2+ per subunit. No Co2+, Mn2+, Mg2+ or Cd2+ was detected. Exhaustive dialysis against either o-phenanthroline or EDTA did not reduce enzyme activity; however, prolonged incubation with dipicolinic acid resulted in inactivation which can be reversed by either Zn2+ or Co2+ but not Mg2+. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding amorpha-4,11-diene synthase from Artemisia annua was subcloned into a bacterial expression vector in frame with a His6-tag. Recombinant amorpha-4,11-diene synthase was produced in Escherichia coli and purified to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme showed pH optimum at pH 6.5, and a minimum at pH 7.5. Substantial activity was observed in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+ or Co2+ as cofactor. The enzyme exhibits a low activity in the presence of Ni2+ and essentially no activity with Cu2+ or Zn2+. The sesquiterpenoids produced from farnesyl diphosphate in the presence of Mg2+ were analyzed by GC-MS. In addition to amorpha-4,11-diene, 15 sesquiterpenoids were produced. Only small quantitative differences in product pattern were observed at pH 6.5, 7.5, or 9.5. Amorpha-4,11-diene synthase showed significant increased product selectivity in the presence of Mn2+ or Co2+. Km for farnesyl diphosphate was 3.3, 8.0, and 0.7 microM in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+ or Co2+, respectively. The corresponding kcat-values were 6.8, 15.0, and 1.3 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. Km and kcat for geranyl diphosphate were 16.9 microM and 7.0 x 10(-4) s(-1), respectively, at pH 6.5, in the presence of Mn2+. 相似文献

A soluble form of the specific alpha-mannosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which catalyzes the following reaction, was purified at least 100,000-fold by conventional chromatography procedures: (Formula: see text). The purified enzyme migrates on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a single band of about 60 kDa in the absence of reducing agent, and as two bands of about 44.5 kDa and 22.5 kDa in the presence of reducing agent. The apparent molecular weight of the soluble enzyme is about 75,000 by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. The specific alpha-mannosidase does not require the addition of divalent cation for activity, but it is inhibited by Tris, EDTA, Mn2+, Co2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+. The inhibition caused by EDTA can be reversed completely by Ca2+ and partially by Mg2+, but not by other divalent cations. The soluble alpha-mannosidase arises from a larger hydrophobic form of the enzyme which is found in the detergent phase during partition in Triton X-114. The formation of the soluble enzyme, which is recovered in the aqueous phase during partition in Triton X-114, is time- and temperature-dependent and is prevented by pepstatin, but not by other protease inhibitors. These results indicate that the purified soluble alpha-mannosidase represents the catalytically active domain of the enzyme which has been proteolytically released from its membrane-bound form. 相似文献

Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) was extracted from the mixed rumen bacterial fraction of bovine rumen contents and purified 60-fold by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, calcium phosphate-gel adsorption and chromatography on hydroxyapatite. The purified enzyme had maximum activity at pH 8.0. The molecular weight was estimated to be 120000-130000. The Km for urea was 8.3 X 10(-4) M+/-1.7 X 10(-4) M. The maximum velocity was 3.2+/-0.25 mmol of urea hydrolysed/h per mg of protein. The enzyme was stabilized by 50 mM-dithiothreitol. The enzyme was not inhibited by high concentrations of EDTA or phosphate but was inhibited by Mn2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Co2+. p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfphonate and N-ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzyme almost completely at 0.1 mM. Hydroxyurea and acetohydroxamate reversibly inhibited the enzyme. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed that the mixed rumen bacteria produce ureases which have identical molecular weights and electrophoretic mobility. No multiple forms of urease were detected. 相似文献

Ca2+,Mg2+-dependent nuclease was isolated from calf thymus chromatin by stepwise chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, CM-Sephadex and DNA-Sepharose. The enzyme was purified more than 700-fold. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis revealed one protein band possessing an enzymatic activity. The molecular mass of the nuclease as determined by gel filtration is 25700 Da, that determined by 12% SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is 28,000 Da. In the presence of various ions the enzyme activity decreases in the following order: (Ca2+ + Mn2+) greater than (Ca2+ + Mg2+) greater than Mn2+; the pH optimum is at 8.0. In media with Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ the nuclease is inactive. Some other properties of the enzyme are described. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of phosphatidylinositol kinase from porcine liver microsomes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Phosphatidylinositol kinase was solubilized and purified from porcine liver microsomes to apparent homogeneity. The purification procedure includes: solubilization of microsomes by 2% Triton X-100, ammonium sulfate precipitation (20-35% saturation), Reactive blue agarose chromatography, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and two consecutive hydroxyapatite chromatographies. A total of 4900-fold purification with 8% recovery of enzyme activity was achieved. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 55000. The enzyme is stimulated in a decreasing order by Mg2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Fe3+ and Co2+. Ca2+ inhibited Mg2+-stimulated activity with an I50 of 0.4 mM. Apparent Km values for phosphatidylinositol and ATP are 120 and 60 microM, respectively. The enzyme is inhibited by adenosine (I50 = 70 microM), ADP (I50 = 120 microM) and quercetin (I50 = 100 microM). The enzyme is also sensitive to sulfhydryl inhibitors. Using the purified enzyme as an immunogen, we have successfully prepared antibodies for phosphatidylinositol kinase in rabbits. The antibodies appear to recognize an antigen of Mr 55000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from various porcine tissues in Western blot analysis. 相似文献

In free-living Amoeba proteus (strain B), acid phosphatase (AcP) was examined by disc-electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. The tartrate-sensitive amebian AcP was greatly inhibited by dithiothreitol and Cu2+, and only partly inhibited by sodium orthovanadate, ammonium molybdate, EDTA, disodium salt and Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+. On the contrary, it appeared to be resistant to sulfhydryl reagents--4(hydroxymercury) benzoic acid, sodium salt and N-ethylmaleimide. Unlike the tartrate-sensitive enzyme, the tartrate-resistant AcP was greatly inhibited by EDTA and partly inhibited by dithiothreitol, Mg2+ and Cu2+ (Mn2+ > Cu2+), being activated by orthovanadate, molybdate, sulfhydryl reagents, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+. Both tartrate-sensitive and tartrate-resistant AcPs lack apparently free SH-groups necessary for their catalytic activities. Using 2-naphthyl phosphate as a substrate at pH 4.5, six AcP electromorphs were revealed in cytosol and sediment, four of these being most frequently localized in the former, and two in the latter. Two other AcP electromorphs were confined to the sediment only. Depending on the quantity of sedimented amoebae making a homogenate (0.5 or 2.0 cm3), that was added to Percoll solution, the lysosomal AcP fraction in polyacrylamide gel was represented by one or two tartrate-sensitive electromorphs. Therefore, tartrate-resistant AcP in A. proteus may be a lysosomal enzyme, while tartrate-resistant AcP may correspond to serine/threonine protein phosphatase. 相似文献

Crystalline L-histidine ammonia-lyase of Achromobacter liquidum was prepared with a 24% recovery of the activity. The specific activity of the pure enzyme (63 mumol of urocanic acid min-1 mg-1) is similar to those so far reported for the enzyme from other sources. The purified enzyme appeared to be homogeneous by analytical disc electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing (pI = 4.95). The molecular weight determined by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration is 200000. The optimum pH is 8.2, and the optimum temperature is 50 degrees C. The enzyme showed strict specificity to L-histidine (Km = 3.6 mM). Several histidine derivatives are not susceptible to the enzyme but do inhibit the enzyme activity competitively; the most effective inhibitors are L-histidine methyl ester (Ki = 3.66 mM) and beta-imidazole lactic acid (Ki = 3.84 mM). L-Histidine hydrazide (Ki = 36 mM) and imidazole (Ki = 6 mM) noncompetitively inhibited the enzyme EDTA markedly inhibited enzyme activity and this inhibition were reversed by divalent metal ions such as Mn2+, Co2+ Zn2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. These results suggest that the presence of divalent metal ions is necessary for the catalytic activity of histidine ammonia-lyase. Sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide inhibited the enzyme activity. 相似文献

E. coli DNA topoisomerase I catalyzes the hydrolysis of short, single stranded oligodeoxynucleotides. It also forms a covalent protein-DNA complex with negatively supercoiled DNA in the absence of Mg2+ but requires Mg2+ for the relaxation of negatively supercoiled DNA. In this paper we investigate the effects of various divalent metals on catalysis. For the relaxation reaction, maximum enzyme activity plateaus after 2.5 mM Mg2+. However, the rate of cleavage of short oligodeoxynucleotide increased linearly between 0 and 15 mM Mg2+. In the oligodeoxynucleotide cleavage reaction, Ca2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ inhibit enzymatic activity. When these metals are coincubated with Mg2+ at equimolar concentrations, the normal effect of Mg2+ is not detectable. Of these metals, only Ca2+ can be substituted for Mg2+ as a metal cofactor in the relaxation reaction. And when Mg2+ is coincubated with Mn2+, Co2+, or Zn2+ at equimolar concentrations, the normal effect of Mg2+ on relaxation is not detectable. We propose that Mg2+ allows the protein-DNA complex to assume a conformation necessary for strand passage and enhance the rate of enzyme turnover. 相似文献
