Myosin-like protein was obtained from E. coli by extraction with a sucrose solution and by precipitation with rabbit skeletal actin. The preparation of E. coli myosin-like protein looked very similar, in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic pattern, to that of rabbit skeletal myosin. The myosin-like protein was able to reversibly bind to rabbit actin. It had the activities of EDTA-, Ca-, and Mg-ATPases. The product in the EDTA-ATPase reaction catalyzed by the myosin-like protein was identified as ADP by ion exchange chromatography. The Mg-ATPase activity of E. coli myosin-like protein was activated by either rabbit actin or E. coli actin-like protein though the activation was much stronger by the latter. However, the myosin-like protein did not exhibit superprecipitation either with rabbit actin or with E. coli actin-like protein. Actin-like protein was also obtained from E. coli by essentially the same procedures as those described for preparation of rabbit skeletal actin. E. coli actin-like protein was capable of activating Mg-ATPase of rabbit myosin, and also of superprecipitation with rabbit myosin. Extraction from both the whole cells and the membrane fraction of E. coli strongly suggested that the myosin-like protein and the actin-like protein are both localized in the membrane fraction rather than in the cytoplasmic fraction. 相似文献

Homoserine kinase was purified to apparent homogeneity from a derepressed strain of Escherichia coli K12, using standard fractionation techniques. It is a dimer (Mr = 60000) composed of apparently identical polypeptide chains (Mr = 29000). Its amino acid composition and N-terminal sequence have been determined. L-Threonine is a competitive inhibitor of the substrate L-homoserine; this inhibition is straighforward and shows no sign of co-operativity. Evidence is presented that homoserine and threonine bind to the same site of this non-allosteric enzyme. The binding of homoserine and threonine can also be studied by difference spectroscopy; the latter studies reveal an unexpected effect of magnesium ions, which might be the basis for the unusual high Mg2+ requirement for optimal enzyme reaction. 相似文献

A polyadenylase, degrading specifically poly(A) sequences was isolated from Escherichia coli K12. The enzyme was purified about 850 times to practically electrophoretic homogeneity. It was free of poly(A) polymerase activity, as well as of the well known E. coli RNAases I and II. It is stimulated by bivalent cations like Mg2+ and Mn2+ and splits poly(A) to 3'-AMP and therefore it can be considered as an exonuclease. The enzyme does not degrade any other ribohomopolymer or RNA. 相似文献

NADH-nitrite oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.4) was purified to better than 95% homogeneity from batch cultures of Escherichia coli strain OR75Ch15, which is partially constitutive for nitrite reductase synthesis. Yields of purified enzyme were low, mainly because of a large loss of activity during chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The quantitative separation of cytochrome c-552 from nitrite reductase activity resulted in an increase in the specific activity of the enzyme: this cytochrome is not therefore an integral part of nitrite reductase. The subunit molecular weights of nitrite reductase and of a haemoprotein contaminant, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, were 88000 and 80000 respectively. The sedimentation coefficient was calculated to be in the range 8.5-9.5S, consistent with a mol.wt. of 190000. It is suggested therefore that the native enzyme is a dimer with two identical or similar-sized subunits. Purest samples contained 0.4 mol of flavin/mol of enzyme, but no detectable haem. Catalytic activity was totally inhibited by 20 micron-p-chloromercuribenzoate and 1 mM-cyanide, slightly inhibited by 1 micron-sulphite and 10mM-arsenite, but insensitive to 1 mM-2,2'-bipyridine, 4mM-1,10-phenanthroline and 10mM-NaN3. Three molecules of NADH were oxidized for each NO2-ion reduced: the product of the reaction is therefore assumed to be NH4+. The specific activity of hydroxylamine reductase increased at each step in the purification of nitrite reductase, and the elution profiles for these two activities during chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex were coincident. It is likely that a single enzyme is responsible for both activities. 相似文献

The argI gene from E. coli K12 has been sequenced. It contains an open reading frame of 1002 bases which encodes a polypeptide of 334 amino acids. Three such polypeptides are required to form the functional catalytic trimer (c3) of ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTCase-1, EC 2.1.3.3). The molecular mass of the mature trimer deduced from the amino acid sequence is 114,465 daltons. An altered form of argI was produced when a 1.6 kilobase DdeI fragment was subcloned into the HincII site of plasmid pUC8 extending the open reading frame an additional 20 nucleotides. It has been previously reported that the amino-terminal region of the respective polypeptides of argI, argF, and pyrB of E. coli possessed significant homology. In contrast, the homologous promoter/operator regions of argI and argF did not appear to share any homologies with pyrB. However, a closer scrutiny of the nucleotide sequence immediately preceding the pyrBI attenuator revealed a remarkable similarity to the argI and argF control region. 相似文献

Some properties of the sulphate transport system and the isolation of sulphate permease mutants in E. coli K12 are described. The gene coding for sulphate permease is located in the same region as the cysA gene in Salmonella typhimurium. 相似文献

Tritiated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from E. coli K12 was prepared by coupling [3H]ethanolamine to the LPS core residue ketodeoxyoctonate (KDO) via activation of its carboxylic function with N-hydroxysuccinimide or N-hydroxy-sulfosuccinimide. Specific activities of 1.5 microCi/mg and 9 microCi/mg were obtained, respectively. Experiments comparing the activity of native and derivatized LPS suggested that the preparation of the radiolabelled LPS did not alter the structural properties of E. coli K12 LPS. This probe will be useful for studying the interactions between LPS and proteins. 相似文献

Osmotic shock treatment of cells of Escherichia coli K12 caused a reduction in the transport of nucleosides into the cells. The strains used carried mutations in the nucleoside catabolizing enzymes. This indicated that the decrease in transport capacity was not due to loss of these enzymes during the shock treatment. Membrane vesicles, prepared from the same strains, showed a limited transport of cytidine, deoxycytidine, and uridine. Transport of purine nucleosides and of thymidine was very low in vesicles lacking the appropriate nucleoside phosphorylases and no significant stimulation was observed if the nucleoside phosphorylases were present in the membrane vesicles. These results all indicate that components outside the cytoplasmic membrane are important for nucleoside transport. Selection for resistance to fluorodeoxycytidine yielded mutants which were unable to transport any nucleoside, even when the nucleoside phosphorylases were present in high amounts. This finding is consistent with a requirement for a specific transport process prior to the initial enzymatic attack on the incoming nucleoside. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase of Escherichia coli K12 has been purified 17,000-fold to near homogeneity from a 5-fold overproducing strain. One major band of Mr = 92,000 and several minor bands are seen on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis of the purest fractions. Identification of the enzyme with the 92,000-Da protein is based on the correlation of this band with activity when highly purified enzyme is eluted from ADP-sepharose columns. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 95,000 determined by gel filtration, showing that the enzyme is active as a monomer. The purest enzyme has a specific activity of 700 nmol min-1 mg-1, indicating a turnover number of about 100 min-1. Our data indicate that there are only about 15 molecules of the enzyme in wild type cells of E. coli. In crude extracts, over 80% of the activity is soluble after centrifugation at 100,000 x g, indicating the enzyme is soluble or, at most, loosely membrane bound. The enzyme is only moderately stable in crude extracts and becomes more unstable as purification proceeds. Activity is stabilized by ATP, or at -20 degrees C as an ammonium sulfate precipitate or in 50% glycerol. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for divalent cations. Maximum activity with Mg2+ is reached at 30 mM. Mn2+ is a good substitute; Co2+ activates well at low concentrations but becomes inhibitory at high concentrations; and Ca2+ is a potent inhibitor in the presence of Mg2+. The isoelectric point of the enzyme is 6.1, and its pH optimum is 8.5. The enzyme is inhibited by its substrate, with a Km of about 1 mM and a Ki of about 1.5 mM, and is noncompetitively inhibited by PPi, ADP, GTP, and a number of other compounds. The data suggest that dissociation of PPi from the first enzyme-product complex is the rate-limiting step in the reaction. Activation of the enzyme, inferred to occur in vivo, could be produced by a postulated regulatory effector which speeds release of PPi from the enzyme-product complex. 相似文献

Employing the recombinant runaway replication plasmid pDPK13 [sbcB+], an exonuclease I-overproducing derivative of Escherichia coli K12 has been constructed. The strain SK4258 has exonuclease I activity 140-400-fold higher than wild type control levels. A new purification procedure has been developed such that the protein can be purified to near homogeneity and is free of endonuclease and RNase activities. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 10-fold higher than reported previously (Ray, R.K., Reuben, R., Molineux, I., and Gefter, M. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 5379-5381). Native exonuclease I is a single polypeptide having Mr = 55,000 with a Stokes radius of 3.12 nm. 相似文献

The various [35S]DNA-binding proteins present in lysates of Escherichia coli K 12 cells have been analyzed by means of two-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The proteins were isolated by the DNA-cellulose technique and eluted by increasing concentrations of NaCl (0.15, 0.4, 0.6 and 2 M). Only 2% of the total 35S radioactivity in the lysate became bound to the DNA-cellulose column. A total of 237 polypeptides were detected and the distribution among the salt eluates were 85, 83, 40 and 29 polypeptides, respectively. The 40 major polypeptides with regard to concentrations were also identified from gels stained with a protein-specific reagent. The polypeptides could be divided into two main groups according to pI values, namely, acidic polypeptides (total number, 174) and basic polypeptides (total number, 63). The ratio between acidic and basic polypeptides decreased with increasing salt concentrations in the eluates. The majority of the basic polypeptides had molecular weights in the range 10 000-30 000, whereas the acidic polypeptides had molecular weights from 10 000 to 165 000. 相似文献

The protein YbiV from Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 is a hypothetical protein with sequence homology to the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily of proteins. Although numerous members of this family have been identified, the functions of few are known. Using the crystal structure, sequence analysis, and biochemical assays, we have characterized YbiV as a HAD phosphatase. The crystal structure of YbiV reveals a two-domain protein, one with the characteristic HAD hydrolase fold, the other an inserted alpha/beta fold. In an effort to understand the mechanism, we also solved and report the structures of YbiV in complex with beryllofluoride (BeF3-) and aluminum trifluoride (AlF3), which have been shown to mimic the phosphorylated intermediate and transition state for hydrolysis, respectively, in analogy to other HAD phosphatases. Analysis of the structures reveals the substrate-binding cavity, which is hydrophilic in nature. Both structure and sequence homology indicate YbiV may be a sugar phosphatase, which is supported by biochemical assays that measured the release of free phosphate on a number of sugar-like substrates. We also investigated available genomic and functional data in an effort to determine the physiological substrate. 相似文献

Catalase (hydroperoxidase II or HPII) of Escherichia coli K12 has been purified using a protocol that also allows the purification of the second catalase HPI in large amounts. The purified HPII was found to have equal amounts of two subunits with molecular weights of 90,000 and 92,000. Only a single 92,000 subunit was present in the immunoprecipitate created when HPII antiserum was added directly to a crude extract, suggesting that proteolysis was responsible for the smaller subunit. The apparent native molecular weight was determined to be 532,000, suggesting a hexamer structure for the enzyme, an unusual structure for a catalase. HPII was very stable, remaining maximally active over the pH range 4-11 and retaining activity even in a solution of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 7 M urea. The heme cofactor associated with HPII was also unusual for a catalase, in resembling heme d (a2) both spectrally and in terms of solubility. On the basis of heme-associated iron, six heme groups were associated with each molecule of enzyme or one per subunit. 相似文献
