The amino acid sequence of a 103 residue segment encompassing the substrate-binding active site lysyl residue of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from Drosophila melanogaster is determined. The sequence is identical to more than 70% with the structure of rabbit muscle aldolase and with the known partial sequences of the sturgeon muscle, trout muscle, and ox liver enzymes. The homology of the insect enzyme with the vertebrate aldolases strongly implies a similar tertiary structure folding. 相似文献

The amino acid composition and other properties of fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase from pupae of Drosophila melanogaster are reported and compared with those of other class I aldolases. Drosophila aldolase subunits contain only four residues of cysteine, five histidines, and two methionines. All four cysteine side chains react with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) only in the presence of denaturating agent and are therefore thought to be buried within the molecule. With bromoacetate one carboxymethyl group is incorporated in the native enzyme with the loss of 90% of catalytic activity; inorganic phosphate is partially inhibiting this reaction. The near-uv absorption spectra of Drosophila and rabbit muscle aldolases are similar, the insect enzyme having higher absorbancies over the entire region corresponding to its higher tryptophan content. Circular dichroism-spectra of Drosophila aldolase indicate an α-helix content of 26%. Both the insect and vertebrate enzymes display marked tryptophan ellipticity bands between 290 and 300 nm. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of FBP aldolase from Drosophila melanogaster has been determined. The enzyme contains four identical subunits of 360 amino acid residues. The primary structure of the monomer was established using automated Edman degradation on fragments prepared by CNBr-cleavage, by partial acid cleavage at the unique Asp-Pro bond and by oxidative cleavage at the three tryptophan residues. Manual Edman-Chang degradation was used on smaller peptides obtained by digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, trypsin or chymotrypsin. The primary structure of Drosophila aldolase exhibits very extensive homology with the sequence of rabbit muscle aldolase (71% identity), thus explaining the early observation that Drosophila and mammalian aldolases form active interspecies hybrid quaternary structures (Brenner-Holzach, O. and Leuthardt, F., Eur. J. Biochem. (1972) 31, 423-426). 相似文献

1. Amino acid sequences covering the region between residues 173 and 248 [adopting the numbering system proposed by Lai, Nakai & Chang (1974) Science 183, 1204-1206] were derived for trout (Salmo trutta) muscle aldolase and for ox liver aldolase. A comparable sequence was derived for residues 180-248 of sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) muscle aldolase. The close homology with the rabbit muscle enzyme was used to align the peptides of the other aldolases from which the sequences were derived. The results also allowed a partial sequence for the N-terminal 39 residues for the ox liver enzyme to be deduced. 2. In the light of the strong homology evinced for these enzymes, a re-investigation of the amino acid sequence of rabbit muscle aldolase between residues 181 and 185 was undertaken. This indicated the presence of a hitherto unsuspected -Ile-Val-sequence between residues 181 and 182 and the need to invert the sequence -Glu-Val- to -Val-Glx- at positions 184 and 185. 3. Comparison of the available amino acid sequences of these enzymes suggested an early evolutionary divergence of the genes for muscle and liver aldolases. It was also consistent with other evidence that the central region of the primary structure of these enzymes (which includes the active-site lysine-227) forms part of a conserved folding domain in the protein subunit. 4. Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequences proposed has been deposited as Suy Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

The complete amino acid sequence of human skeletal-muscle fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, comprising 363 residues, was determined. The sequence was deduced by automated sequencing of CNBr-cleavage, o-iodosobenzoic acid-cleavage, trypsin-digest and staphylococcal-proteinase-digest fragments. Comparison of the sequence with other class I aldolase sequences shows that the mammalian muscle isoenzyme is one of the most highly conserved enzymes known, with only about 2% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Non-mammalian aldolases appear to be evolving at the same rate as other glycolytic enzymes, with about 4% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Secondary-structure predictions are analysed in an accompanying paper [Sawyer, Fothergill-Gilmore & Freemont (1988) Biochem. J. 249, 789-793]. 相似文献

Human skeletal-muscle aldolase: N-terminal sequence analysis of CNBr- and o-iodosobenzoic acid-cleavage fragments 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase was purified from human skeletal-muscle by affinity elution chromatography. Four CNBr-cleavage fragments were purified by gel filtration, and their N-terminal amino acid sequences were determined. Cleavage with o-iodosobenzoic acid at the three tryptophan residues also yielded fragments suitable for N-terminal sequence analysis. Thus, the sequence of 272 of the 363 residues was established. These sequence results allow many of the discrepancies between the two published rabbit skeletal-muscle aldolase sequences to be resolved. The human aldolase sequence reported here is 96% identical to a "consensus" rabbit aldolase sequence. A comparison with a partial sequence of Drosophila aldolase (103 residues) shows 80% identity. The determination of the amino acid sequence of human aldolase is important for the interpretation of the crystal structure of this enzyme. 相似文献

Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella pneumoniaeand Klebsiella oxytocawere found to contain two D-tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate (TagBP)-specific aldolases involved in catabolism of galactitol (genes gatY gatZ) and of N-acetyl-galactosamine and D-galactosamine (genes kbaY kbaZ,also called agaY agaZ). The two aldolases were closely related (> or = 53.8% identical amino acids) and could substitute for each other in vivo. The catalytic subunits GatY or KbaY alone were sufficient to show aldolase activity. Although substantially shorter than other aldolases (285 amino acids, instead of 358 and 349 amino acids), these subunits contained most or all of the residues that have been identified as essential in substrate/product recognition and catalysis for class II aldolases. In contrast to these, both aldolases required subunits GatZ or KbaZ (420 amino acids) for full activity and for good in vivo and in vitro stability. The Z subunits alone did not show any aldolase activity. Close relatives of these new TagBP aldolases were found in several gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, e.g., Streptomyces coelicolor. 相似文献

2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) aldolases catalyze an identical reaction differing in substrate specificity in only the configuration of a single stereocenter. However, the proteins show little sequence homology at the amino acid level. Here we investigate the determinants of substrate selectivity of these enzymes. The Escherichia coli KDPGal aldolase gene, cloned into a T7 expression vector and overexpressed in E. coli, catalyzes retro-aldol cleavage of the natural substrate, KDPGal, with values of k(cat)/K(M) and k(cat) of 1.9x10(4)M(-1)s(-1) and 4s(-1), respectively. In the synthetic direction, KDPGal aldolase efficiently catalyzes an aldol addition using a limited number of aldehyde substrates, including d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (natural substrate), d-glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. A preparative scale reaction between 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and pyruvate catalyzed by KDPGal aldolase produced the aldol adduct of the R stereochemistry in >99.7% ee, a result complementary to that observed using the related KDPG aldolase. The native crystal structure has been solved to a resolution of 2.4A and displays the same (alpha/beta)(8) topology, as KDPG aldolase. We have also determined a 2.1A structure of a Schiff base complex between the enzyme and its substrate. This model predicts that a single amino acid change, T161 in KDPG aldolase to V154 in KDPGal aldolase, plays an important role in determining the stereochemical course of enzyme catalysis and this prediction was borne out by site-directed mutagenesis studies. However, additional changes in the enzyme sequence are required to prepare an enzyme with both high catalytic efficiency and altered stereochemistry. 相似文献

Primary structure of the Drosophila laminin B2 chain and comparison with human, mouse, and Drosophila laminin B1 and B2 chains 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Laminin, a major component of basement membranes, is a large glycoprotein consisting of three disulfide-bonded subunits, A, B1, and B2. We have isolated and sequenced a Drosophila laminin B2 chain cDNA clone that spans 5737 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequence predicts that the mature and nonglycosylated polypeptide has a chain length of 1606 residues (Mr = 178,665). This B2 chain contains 100 half-cystine residues, most of which are located in two cysteine-rich domains, and 11 N-X-S or N-X-T sequences which are potential sites of N-linked glycosylation. The predicted secondary structure reveals the presence of six structurally distinct domains, of which two are mainly alpha-helical, two are cysteine-rich with homologous repeats, and two are globular regions. The Drosophila B2 chain is 40.3 and 41.1% identical to the human and mouse B2 chains, respectively, and 29.6, 30.0, and 29.4% identical to the Drosophila, human, and mouse B1 chains, respectively. 相似文献

To assess which regions of the aldolase C molecule are required for exhibiting isozyme-specific kinetic properties, we have constructed nine chimeric enzymes of human aldolases A and C. Kinetic studies of these chimeric enzymes revealed that aldolase C absolutely required its own isozyme group-specific sequences (IGS), particularly IGS-4, for exhibiting the characteristics of aldolase C which differ significantly from those of isozymes A and B (Kusakabe T, Motoki K, Hori K. Human aldolase C: characterization of the recombinant enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli. J Biochem (Tokyo) 1994;115:1172–7). Whereas human aldolases A and B required their own isozyme group-specific sequences-1 and -4 (IGS-1 and -4) as the main determinants of isozyme-specific kinetic properties (Motoki K, Kitajima Y, Hori K. Isozyme-specific modules on human aldolase A molecule. J Biol Chem 1993;268:1677–83; Kusakabe T, Motoki K, Sugimoto Y, Takasaki Y, Hori K. Human aldolase B: liver-specific properties of the isoenzyme depend on type B isozyme group-specific sequence. Prot. Eng. 1994;7:1387–93), the present studies indicate that the IGS-1 is principally substitutable between aldolases A and C. The kinetic data also suggests that the connector-2 (amino acid residues 243–306) may modulate the interaction of IGS units with the α/β barrel of the aldolase molecule. 相似文献

E. coli expression plasmids for human aldolases A and B (EC 4.1.2.13) have been constructed from the pIN-III expression vector and their cDNAs, and expressed in E. coli strain JM83. Enzymatically active forms of human aldolase have been generated in the cells when transfected with either pHAA47, a human aldolase A expression plasmid, or pHAB 141, a human aldolase B expression plasmid. These enzymes are indistinguishable from authentic enzymes with respect to molecular size, amino acid sequences at the NH2- and COOH-terminal regions, the Km for substrate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and the activity ratio of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate/fructose 1-phosphate (FDP/F1P), although net electric charge and the Km for FDP of synthetic aldolase B differed from those for a previously reported human liver aldolase B. In addition, both the expressed aldolases A and B complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of the aldolase mutant of E. coli h8. These data argue that the expressed aldolases are structurally and functionally similar to the authentic human aldolases, and would provide a system for analysis of the structure-function relationship of human aldolases A and B. 相似文献

We report the sequences of full-length cDNAs for the nuclear genes encoding the chloroplastic and cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) from spinach. A comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequences with one another and with published cytosolic aldolase sequences of other plants revealed that the two enzymes from spinach share only 54% homology on their amino acid level whereas the homology of the cytosolic enzyme of spinach with the known sequences of cytosolic aldolases of maize, rice and Arabidopsis range from 67 to 92%. The sequence of the chloroplastic enzyme includes a stroma-targeting N-terminal transit peptide of 46 amino acid residues for import into the chloroplast. The transit peptide exhibits essential features similar to other chloroplast transit peptides. Southern blot analysis implies that both spinach enzymes are encoded by single genes. 相似文献

The fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase gene of Drosophila melanogaster contains three divergent copies of an evolutionarily conserved 3' exon. Two mRNAs encoding aldolase contain three exons and differ only in the poly(A) site. The first exon is small and noncoding. The second encodes the first 332 amino acids, which form the catalytic domain, and is homologous to exons 2 through 8 of vertebrates. The third exon encodes the last 29 amino acids, thought to control substrate specificity, and is homologous to vertebrate exon 9. A third mRNA substitutes a different 3' exon (4a) for exon 3 and encodes a protein very similar to aldolase. A fourth mRNA begins at a different promoter and shares the second exon with the aldolase messages. However, two exons, 3a and 4a, together substitute for exon 3. Like exon 4a, exon 3a is homologous to terminal aldolase exons. The exon 3a-4a junction is such that exon 4a would be translated in a frame different from that which would produce a protein with similarity to aldolase. The putative proteins encoded by the third and fourth mRNAs are likely to be aldolases with altered substrate specificities, illustrating alternate use of duplicated and diverged exons as an evolutionary mechanism for adaptation of enzymatic activities. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of a nonsecretory ribonuclease isolated from human urine was determined except for the identity of the residue at position 7. Sequence information indicates that the ribonucleases of human liver and spleen and an eosinophil-derived neurotoxin are identical or very closely related gene products. The sequence is identical at about 30% of the amino acid positions with those of all of the secreted mammalian ribonucleases for which information is available. Identical residues include active-site residues histidine-12, histidine-119, and lysine-41, other residues known to be important for substrate binding and catalytic activity, and all eight half-cystine residues common to these enzymes. Major differences include a deletion of six residues in the (so-called) S-peptide loop, insertions of two, and nine residues, respectively, in three other external loops of the molecule, and an addition of three residues at the amino terminus. The sequence shows the human nonsecretory ribonuclease to belong to the same ribonuclease superfamily as the mammalian secretory ribonucleases, turtle pancreatic ribonuclease, and human angiogenin. Sequence data suggest that a gene duplication occurred in an ancient vertebrate ancestor; one branch led to the nonsecretory ribonuclease, while the other branch led to a second duplication, with one line leading to the secretory ribonucleases (in mammals) and the second line leading to pancreatic ribonuclease in turtle and an angiogenic factor in mammals (human angiogenin). The nonsecretory ribonuclease has five short carbohydrate chains attached via asparagine residues at the surface of the molecule; these chains may have been shortened by exoglycosidase action.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The sequence of the tryptic heptaeicosapeptide isolated from the active site of beef liver aldolase has been determined and shown to be identical with that of the corresponding peptide from rabbit liver aldolase. The sequence is Ala-Leu-Asn-Asp-His-His-Val-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Thr-Leu-Leu-βGlys-Pro-Asn-Met-Val-Thr-Ala-Gly-His-Ala-Cys-Thr-Lys. There is extensive homology with peptides isolated from the same region of a variety of muscle aldolases. 相似文献

Two fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolases from the acido- and thermophilic red alga Galdieria sulphuraria were purified to apparent homogeneity and N-terminally microsequenced. Both aldolases had similar biochemical properties such as Km (FBP) (5.6-5.8 microM) and molecular masses of the native enzymes (165kDa) as determined by size exclusion chromatography. The subunit size of the purified aldolases, as determined by SDS-PAGE, was 42kDa for both aldolases. The isoenzymes were not inhibited by EDTA or affected by cysteine or potassium ions, implying that they belong to the class I group of aldolases, while other red algae are known to have one class I and one class II aldolase inhibited by EDTA. cDNA clones of the cytosolic and plastidic aldolases were isolated and sequenced. The gene for the cytosolic isoenzyme contained a 303bp untranslated leader sequence, while the gene for the plastidic isoenzyme exhibited a transit sequence of 56 amino-acid residues. Both isoenzymes showed about 48% homology in the deduced amino-acid sequences. A gene tree relates both aldolases to the basis of early eukaryotic class I aldolases. The phylogenetic relationship to other aldolases, particularly to cyanobacterial class II aldolases, is discussed. 相似文献

The pea leaf chloroplastic and cytoplasmic forms of aldolase are very similar in structure. The subunit molecular weights determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate are approximately 37.000. Both aldolases appear to terminate in the same sequence, SerAlaTyrCOOH, and the amino-terminal sequence H2NGlySerTyrAla was obtained for each. The previously reported differences in kinetic properties and in isoelectric points of the two pea leaf enzymes probably are the consequence of minor differences in amino acid composition or conformation. 相似文献

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) has been purified over 30,000-fold from Drosophila adults with a yield of 35%, using a combination of low pH extraction, (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, Sephadex gel filtration, Affi-Gel blue affinity chromatography, ion exchange and gel filtration FPLC. The Drosophila enzyme is a soluble, 17-22 kDa monomeric protein displaying the two pH optima characteristic of eukaryotic DHFRs. The sequence of the first 23 amino acids from the amino-terminal end of the protein shows that Drosophila DHFR is more homologous to the mosquito and vertebrate DHFRs than to the prokaryotic enzymes. However, the percent similarity between the two insect enzymes is not as close as expected when compared to the virtually identical initial sequence conservation of mammalian DHFRs. 相似文献
