An l-asparaginase produced by Pseudomonas stutzeri MB-405 was isolated and characterized. After initial ammonium sulfate fractionation, the enzyme was purified by consecutive column chromatography on Sephadex G-100, Ca-hydroxylapatite, and DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The 665.5-fold purified enzyme thus obtained has the specific activity of 732.3 units mg protein-1 with an overall recovery of 27.2%. The apparent M
r of the enzyme under nondenaturing and denaturing conditions was 34 kDa and 33 kDa respectively, and the isoelectric point was 6.38±0.02. It displayed optimum activity at pH 9.0 and 37°C. The enzyme was very specific for l-asparagine and did not hydrolyze L-glutaminate. The K
m of the l-asparaginase was found to be 1.45×10-4
m towards l-asparagine and was competitively inhibited by 5-diazo-4-oxo-l-norvaline (DONV) with a K
i of 0.03mm. Metal ions such as Mn2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, and Cd2+ potentially inhibited the enzyme activity. The activity was enhanced in the presence of thiol-protecting reagents such as DTT, 2-ME, and glutathione (reduced), but inhibited by PCMB and iodoacetamide. The tumor inhibition study with Dalton's lymphoma tumor cells in vivo indicated that this enzyme possesses antitumor properties. 相似文献

An intracellular S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAM-s) was purified from the fermentation broth of Pichia pastoris GS115 by a sequence chromatography column. It was purified to apparent homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation (30–60%), anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. HPLC showed
the purity of purified SAM-s was 91.2%. The enzyme was purified up to 49.5-fold with a final yield of 20.3%. The molecular
weight of the homogeneous enzyme was 43.6 KDa, as determined by electro-spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Its isoelectric
point was approximately 4.7, indicating an acidic character. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme reaction were 8.5
and 35 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0–9.0 and was easy to inactivate in acid solution (pH ≤ 5.0). The temperature
stability was up to 45 °C. Metal ions, such as, Mn2+ and K+ at the concentration of 5 mM had a slight activation effect on the enzyme activity and the Mg2+ activated the enzyme significantly. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Ag2+) and EDTA. The purified enzyme from the transformed Pichia pastoris synthesized S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from ATP and l-methionine in vitro with a K
m of 120 and 330 μM and V
max of 8.1 and 23.2 μmol/mg/min for l-methionine and ATP, respectively. 相似文献

Dihydroorotase was purified to homogeneity fromPseudomonas putida. The relative molecular mass of the native enzyme was 82 kDa and the enzyme consisted of two identical subunits with a relative
molecular mass of 41 kDa. The enzyme only hydrolyzed dihydro-l-orotate and its methyl ester, and the reactions were reversible. The apparentK
m andV
max values for dihydro-l-orotate hydrolysis (at pH 7.4) were 0.081 mM and 18 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively; and those forN-carbamoyl-dl-aspartate (at pH 6.0) were 2.2 mM and 68 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by metal ion chelators and activated by Zn2+. However, excessive Zn2+ was inhibitory. The enzyme was inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents, and competitively inhibited byN-carbamoylamino acids such asN-carbamoylglycine, with aK
i value of 2.7 mM. The enzyme was also inhibited noncompetitively by pyrimidine-metabolism intermediates such as dihydrouracil
and orotate, with aK
i value of 3.4 and 0.75 mM, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme activity is regulated by pyrimidine-metabolism intermediates
and that dihydroorotase plays a role in the control of pyrimidine biosynthesis. 相似文献

Beijerinckia mobilis KDr2, a broad-spectrum, mercury-resistant nitrogen-fixing organism, possesses multiple metal-resistance properties. Mercuric reductase and organomercurial lyase activities of this bacterial strain were determined using different mercury compounds and heavy metal salts of copper, nickel, cobalt, cadmium, silver, zinc, lead and arsenate as inducers and substrates. Mercuric reductase was partially purified and the effect of some enzyme inhibitors and heavy metal ions on the enzyme activity was studied. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by CdCl2, Bi(NO3)3 and KCN at 10-5
M and by AgNO3, CoCl2 and CuSO4 at 10-4

A novel enzyme, N-acylamino acid racemase, was purified to homogeneity from Streptomyces atratus Y-53 and characterized. This enzyme catalyzes the interconversion of optically active N-acylamino acids. The relative molecular mass (Mr) of the enzyme was estimated to be about 41 000 and 244 000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration, respectively, indicating that the enzyme is composed of six subunits with an equal Mr. The enzyme showed a broad substrate specificity toward N-acylamino acids, such as N-acetylmethionine, N-chloroacetylphenylalanine and N-chloroacetylvaline. The apparent Michaelis constant (Km) values for N-acetyl-l-methionine and N-acetyl-d-methionine were calculated to be 15.2 and 5.6 mm, respectively. Enzyme activity was markedly enhanced by divalent metal ions, such as Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+, and was inhibited by metal-chelating reagent, indicating that the enzyme is a metalloenzyme. We propose to name the enzyme N-acylamino acid racemase (acylamino acid racemase).

Thermoplasma acidophilum is a thermoacidophilic archaeon that grows optimally at 59°C and pH 2. Along with another thermoacidophilic archaeon,Sulfolobus solfataricus, it is known to metabolize glucose by the non-phosphorylated Entner-Doudoroff (nED) pathway. In the course of these studies,
the specific activities of glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase and glycerate kinase, two enzymes that are involved in the downstream
part of the nED pathway, were found to be much higher inT. acidophilum than inS. solfataricus. To characterize glycerate kinase, the enzyme was purified to homogeneity fromT. acidophilum cell extracts. TheN-terminal sequence of the purified enzyme was in exact agreement with that of Ta0453m in the genome database, with the removal
of the initiator methionine. Furthermore, the enzyme was a monomer with a molecular weight of 49 kDa and followed Michaelis-Menten
kinetics withK
m values of 0.56 and 0.32 mM forDL-glycerate and ATP, respectively. The enzyme also exhibited excellent thermal stability at 70°C. Of the seven sugars and four
phosphate donors tested, onlyDL-glycerate and ATP were utilized by glycerate kinase as substrates. In addition, a coupled enzyme assay indicated that 2-phosphoglycerate
was produced as a product. When divalent metal ions, such as Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+, were substituted for Mg2+, the enzyme activities were less than 10% of that obtained in the presence of Mg2+. The amino acid sequence ofT. acidophilum glycerate kinase showed no similarity withE. coli glycerate kinases, which belong to the first glycerate kinase family. This is the first report on the biochemical characterization
of an enzyme which belongs to a member of the second glycerate kinase family. 相似文献

A thermostable d-xylase isomerase from a newly isolated thermophilic Streptomyces sp. (PLC) strain is described. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity. It is a homotetramer with a native molecular mass of 183 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 46 kDa. The enzyme has a K
m
of 35 mM for d-xylose and also accepts d-glucose as substrate, however, with a tenfold higher K
m
(0.4 M) and half the maximum velocity. Both the activity and stability of this d-xylose isomerase depend strongly on divalent metal ions. Two metal ions bind per subunit to non-identical sites. Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ are of comparable efficiency for the d-xylose isomerase reaction. Con2+ is the most efficient cofactor for d-glucose isomerization. The enzyme remains fully active up to 95°C. The activity decreases at 53°C in the presence of Co2+ and Mg2+ with a half-life of 7 and 9 days respectively. In the presence of Mn2+ the enzyme activity remains constant for at least 10 days and at 70°C 50% of the activity is lost after 5 days. 相似文献

Bacillus species producing a thermostable phytase was isolated from soil, boiled rice, and mezu (Korean traditinal koji). The activity of phytase increased markedly at the late stationary phase. An extracellular phytase from Bacillus sp. KHU-10 was purified to homogeneity by acetone precipitation and DEAE-Sepharose and phenyl-Sepharose column chromatographies. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 46 kDa on gel filtration and 44 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel elctrophoresis. Its optimum pH and temperature for phytase activity were pH 6.5-8.5 and 40°C without 10 mM CaCl2 and pH 6.0-9.5 and 60°C with 10 mM CaCl2. About 50% of its original activity remained after incubation at 80°C or 10 min in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2. The enzyme activity was fairly stable from pH 6.5 to 10.0. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of 6.8. As for substrate specificity, it was very specific for sodium phytate and showed no activity on other phosphate esters. The K
m value for sodium phytate was 50 M. Its activity was inhibited by EDTA and metal ions such as Ba2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Mn2+ ions. 相似文献

Peroxidase was purified by an ion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration chromatography from dye degrading Bacillus sp. strain VUS. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity was 3.0 and 65°C, respectively. This enzyme showed
more activity with n-propanol than other substrates tested viz. xylidine, 3-(3,4-dihydroxy phenyl) Lalanine (L-DOPA), hydroxyquinone, ethanol, indole, and veratrole. Km value of the enzyme
was 0.076 mM towards n-propanol under standard assay conditions. Peroxidase was more active in presence of the metal ions like Li2+, Co2+, K2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ where as it showed less activity in the presence of Ca2+ and Mn2+. Inhibitors like ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), glutamine, and phenylalanine inhibited the enzyme partially, while
sodium azide (NaN3) completely. The crude as well as the purified peroxidase was able to decolourize different industrial dyes. This enzyme
decolourized various textile dyes and enhanced percent decolourization in the presence of redox mediators. Aniline was the
most effective redox mediator than other mediators tested. Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmed the formation
of 7-Acetylamino-4-hydroxy-naphthalene-2-sulphonic acid as the final product of Reactive Orange 16 indicating asymmetric cleavage
of the dye. 相似文献

An epoxide hydrolase gene of about 0.8 kb was cloned from Rhodococcus opacus ML-0004, and the open reading frame (ORF) sequence predicted a protein of 253 amino acids with a molecular mass of about
28 kDa. An expression plasmid carrying the gene under the control of the tac promotor was introduced into Escherichia coli, and the epoxide hydrolase gene was successfully expressed in the recombinant strains. Some characteristics of purified recombinant
epoxide hydrolase were also studied. Epoxide hydrolase showed a high stereospecificity for l(+)-tartaric acid, but not for d(+)-tartaric acid. The epoxide hydrolase activity could be assayed at the pH ranging from 3.5 to 10.0, and its maximum activity
was obtained between pH 7.0 and 7.5. The enzyme was sensitive to heat, decreasing slowly between 30°C and 40°C, and significantly
at 45°C. The enzyme activity was activated by Ca2+ and Fe2+, while strongly inhibited by Ag+ and Hg+, and slightly inhibited by Cu2+, Zn2+, Ba2+, Ni+, EDTA–Na2 and fumarate. 相似文献

A lytic enzyme was isolated from the lysate of Ps. aeruginosa infected with a new strain of bacteriophage, phage 95. The enzyme, LE95, was purified by chromatography in twice on IRC50 column and by gel filtration in twice on Sephadex G–75 column. The molecular weight was estimated as 21,000. The optimal condition for the hydrolysis of acetone-dried cells of Ps. aeruginosa was determined to be following: the optimal pH was between 6.5 and 7.0, the temperature about 70°C and the concentration of phosphate buffer about 5 mm. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Ag+, Hg2+, Ni2, Fe2+ and Cu2+ ions. When peptideglycan obtained from Ps. aeruginosa was digested by LE95, free amino groups were liberated without release of reducing sugars. The enzyme was suggested to be amidase or peptidase. 相似文献

The sialidase secreted byClostridium chauvoei NC08596 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydrophobic interaction-chromatography, FPLC ion-exchange chromatography, and FPLC gel filtration. The enzyme was enriched about 10 200-fold, reaching a final specific activity of 24.4 U mg–1. It has a relatively high molecular mass of 300 kDa and consists of two subunits each of 150 kDa. The cations Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ and bovine serum albumin have a positive effect on the sialidase activity, while Hg2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+, chelating agents and salt decrease enzyme activity. The substrate specificity, kinetic data, and pH optimum of the enzyme are similar to those of other bacterial sialidases.Abbreviations FPLC

Threonine dehydrogenase from Clostridium sticklandii has been purified 76-fold from cells grown in a defined medium to a homogeneous preparation of 234 units · mg-1 protein. Purification was obtained by chromatography on Q-Sepharose fast flow and Reactive green 19-Agarose. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of 67 kDa and consisted of two identical subunits (33 kDa each). The optimum pH for catalytic activity was 9.0. Only l-threo-threo-nine, dl--hydroxynorvaline and acetoin were substrates; only NAD was used as the natural electron acceptor. The apparent K
m values for l-threonine and NAD were 18 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. Zn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+ ions (0.9 mM) inhibited enzyme activity. The N-terminal amino acid sequence revealed similarities to the class of non-metal short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases, whereas the threonine dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli belongs to the class of medium chain, zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenases.Abbreviations

Asparaginase production by a mesophilic strain ofErwinia sp. was examined; the maximum of activity was found at 40°C and pH 8.5. Among the various carbon sources, mannitol was shown
to be the best for production of activity. Inorganic nitrogen sources were better than the organic ones. The enzyme activity
was not inhibited by 10 mmol/L metal ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+); the activity was strongly inhibited by addition of EDTA.l-Arginine,dl-alanine,l-asparagine andl-glutamine stimulated thel-asparaginase production by 3.9, 1.7, 4.3 and 4.0 fold, respectively. The combination ofl-arginine,l-asparagine andl-glutamine synergistically stimulated the asparaginase up to 5.8 fold. 相似文献

Malic enzyme of the phototrophic bacterium Chromatium vinosum strain D that lacks malate dehydrogenase was partially purified yielding a specific activity of 55 units/mg protein.

, K+, Cs+, or Rb+) as well as a divalent cation (Mn2+, or Mg2+). The enzyme was inhibited by oxaloacetate, glyoxylate, and NADPH. The K

m value for NADP (18 M) and the K
1 value for NADPH (42 M) are independent. Throughout all kinetic measurements hyperbolic saturation curves and linear double reciprocal plots were obtained.Abbreviations OAA

Carboxypeptidase produced by Monascus purpureus IFO 4478 was purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme is a heterodimer with a molecular mass of 132 kDa and consists of two subunits of 64 and 67 kDa. It is an acidic glycoprotein with an isoelectric point of 3.67 and 17.0% carbohydrate content. The optimum pH and temperature were 4.0 and 40 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable between pH 2.0 and 8.0 at 37 °C for 1 h, and up to 50 °C at pH 5.0 for 15 min. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by piperastatin A, diisopropylfluoride phosphate (DFP), phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF), and chymostatin, suggesting that it is a chymotrypsin-like serine carboxypeptidase. Monascus purpureus carboxypeptidase was also strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB) but not by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 1,10-phenanthroline, indicating that it requires cysteine residue but not metal ions for activity. Benzyloxycarbonyl-l-tyrosyl-l-glutamic acid (Z-Tyr-Glu), among the substrates tested, was the best substrate of the enzyme. The Km, Vmax, Kcat, and Kcat/Km values of the enzyme for Z-Tyr-Glu at pH 4.0 and 37 °C were 0.86 mM, 0.917 mM min–1, 291 s–1, and 339 mM–1 s–1, respectively. 相似文献

The cyclitol 1d-4-O-methyl-myo-inositol (d-ononitol) is accumulated in certain legumes in response to abiotic stresses. S-Adenosyl-l-methionine:myo-inositol 6-O-methyltransferase (m6OMT), the enzyme which catalyses the synthesis of d-ononitol, was extracted from stems of Vigna umbellata Ohwi et Ohashi and purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of conventional chromatographic techniques and by affinity chromatography on immobilized S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine (SAH). The purified m6OMT was photoaffinity labelled with S-adenosyl-l-[14C-methyl]methionine. The native molecular weight was determined to be 106 kDa, with a subunit molecular weight of 40 kDa. Substrate-saturation kinetics of m6OMT for myo-inositol and S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) were Michaelis-Menten type with K
m values of 2.92 mM and 63 M, respectively. The SAH competitively inhibited the enzyme with respect to SAM (K
i of 1.63 M). The enzyme did not require divalent cations for activity, but was strongly inhibited by Mn2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ and sulfhydryl group inhibitors. The purified m6OMT was found to be highly specific for the 6-hydroxyl group of myo-inositol and showed no activity on other naturally occurring isomeric inositols and inositol O-methyl-ethers. Neither d-ononitol, nor d-3-O-methyl-chiro-inositol, d-1-O-methyl-muco-inositol or d-chiro-inositol (end products of the biosynthetic pathway in which m6OMT catalyses the first step), inhibited the activity of the enzyme.Abbreviations DTT

l-2-Amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrolase (ATC hydrolase) was purified and characterized from the crude extract of Escherichia coli, in which the gene for ATC hydrolase of Pseudomonas sp. strain ON-4a was expressed. The results of SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 suggested that the ATC hydrolase was a tetrameric enzyme consisted of identical 25-kDa subunits. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were pH 7.0 and 30–35°C, respectively. The enzyme did not require divalent cations for the expression of the activity, and Cu2+ and Mn2+ ions strongly inhibited the enzyme activity. An inhibition experiment by diethylpyrocarbonic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, and N-bromosuccinimide suggested that tryptophan, cysteine, or/and histidine residues may be involved in the catalytic site of this enzyme. The enzyme was strictly specific for the l-form of d,l-ATC and exhibited high activity for the hydrolysis of l-ATC with the values of K
m (0.35 mM) and V
max (69.0 U/mg protein). This enzyme could not cleave the ring structure of derivatives of thiazole, thiazoline, and thiazolidine tested, except for d,l- and l-ATC. These results show that the ATC hydrolase is a novel enzyme cleaving the carbon–sulfur bond in a ring structure of l-ATC to produce N-carbamoyl-l-cysteine. 相似文献

The gene encoding homodimeric β-galactosidase (lacA) from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting recombinant enzyme was characterized in detail. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme, for both
o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactoside (oNPG) and lactose hydrolysis, were 50°C and 6.5, respectively. The recombinant enzyme is stable in the range of pH 5 to 9 at
37°C and over a wide range of temperatures (4–42°C) at pH 6.5 for up to 1 month. The K
m values of LacA for lactose and oNPG are 169 and 13.7 mM, respectively, and it is strongly inhibited by the hydrolysis products, i.e., glucose and galactose.
The monovalent ions Na+ and K+ in the concentration range of 1–100 mM as well as the divalent metal cations Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+ at a concentration of 1 mM slightly activate enzyme activity. This enzyme can be beneficial for application in lactose hydrolysis
especially at elevated temperatures due to its pronounced temperature stability; however, the transgalactosylation potential
of this enzyme for the production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose was low, with only 12% GOS (w/w) of total sugars obtained when the initial lactose concentration was 200 g/L. 相似文献
