Regulatory properties of the enzymes involved in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in the mutant of Corynebacterium glutamicum which produces a large amount of aromatic amino acids were examined. A phenylalanine auxotrophic l-tyrosine producer, pr-20, had a 3-deoxy-d-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthetase released from the feedback inhibition by l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine and l-tryptophan and had a two-fold derepressed chorismate mutase. A pair of l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine still strongly inhibited the chorismate mutase activity, though the enzyme was partially released from the inhibition by l-phenylalanine alone. A tyrosine auxotrophic l-phenylalanine producer, PFP-19-31, had a DAHP synthetase sensitive to the feedback inhibition by l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine and l-tryptophan and had a prephenate dehydratase and a chorismate mutase both partially released from the feedback inhibition by l-phenylalanine. The mutant produced a large amount of prephenate as well as l-phenylalanine. A phenylalanine and tyrosine double auxotrophic l-tryptophan producer, Px-115-97, had an anthranilate synthetase partially released from the feedback inhibition by l-tryptophan and had a DAHP synthetase sensitive to the feedback inhibition. These data explained the mechanism of the production of aromatic amino acids by these mutants and supported the in vivo functioning of the control mechanisms of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in C. glutamicum previously elucidated in vitro experiments.  相似文献

The effects on the polymorphic crystallization of l-glutamic acid were examined of many substances including amino acids, inorganic salts, surface active agents, and sodium salt or hydrochloride of l-glutamic acid, when contained in the mother liquor.

The co-existence of amino acids, especially of l-aspartic acid, l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine, l-lcucine and l-cystine contributed to the crystallization of l-glutamic acid in α-form, and these amino acid showed an inhibitory action on the transition of α-crystals as the solid phase in the aqueous solution, to β-crystals.

In the presence of a large amount of l-glutamate or the hydrochloride at the time of nucleation of l-glutamic acid, mostly β-crystals appeared even in the presence of the amino acids named above.  相似文献

Most of the bacteria, which were examined for the sensitivity to l-arginine analogs (l-canavanine, l-homoarginine, d-arginine and arginine hydroxamate), were insensitive to the analogs at a concentration of 8 mg/ml. Corynebacterium glutamicum DSS-8 isolated as d-serine-sensitive mutant from an isoleucine auxotroph KY 10150, was found to be sensitive to d-arginine and arginine hydroxamate. Furthermore, DSS-8 produced l-arginine in a cultural medium. l-Arginine analog-resistant mutants were derived from DSS-8 by N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) treatment. Most of them were found to produce a large amount of l-arginine. An isoleucine revertant from one of these mutants produced 19.6 mg/ml of l-arginine in the medium containing 15% (as sugar) of molasses.

The mechanism of the sensitivity to l-arginine analogs and that of the production of l-arginine in the d-serine-sensitive mutant, DSS-8, were investigated. DSS-8 seems to be a mutant having increased permeability to d- and l-arginine.  相似文献

A tyrosine auxotroph derived from a hydrocarbon utilizing bacterium, Corynebacterium sp. KY 4309, was found to accumulate a large amount of l-phenylalanine in the broth. The cultural conditions for l-phenylalanine production were studied. The pH value during cultivations exhibited a remakable effect on l-phenylalanine production. The addition of l-tryptophan enhanced the l-phenylalanine accumulation. Shikimic acid and phenylpyruvic acid are possible precursors of phenylalanine biosynthesis in this bacterium. Production of l-phenylalanine attained to a level of 10 mg per ml for 68 hr under optimal conditions.  相似文献

Regulatory properties of the enzymes in l-tyrosine and l-phenyalanine terminal pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum were investigated. Prephenate dehydrogenase was partially feedback inhibited by l-tyrosine. Prephenate dehydratase was strongly inhibited by l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan and 100% inhibition was attained at the concentrations of 5 × 10?2mm and 10?1mm, respectively. l-Tyrosine stimulated prephenate dehydratase activity (6-fold stimulation at 1 mm) and restored the enzyme activity inhibited by l-phenylalanine or l-tryptophan. These regulations seem to give the balanced synthesis of l-tyrosine and l-phenyl-alanine. Prephenate dehydratase from C. glutamicum was stimulated by l-methionine and l-leucine similarly to the enzyme in Bacillus subtilis and moreover by l-isoleucine and l-histidine. C. glutamicum mutant No. 66, an l-phenylalanine producer resistant to p-fluorophenyl-alanine, had a prephenate dehydratase completely resistant to the inhibition by l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan.  相似文献

Tyrosine phenol lyase catalyzes a series of α,β-elimination, β-replacement and racemization reactions. These reactions were studied with intact cells of Erwinia herbicola ATCC 21434 containing tyrosine phenol lyase.

Various aromatic amino acids were synthesized from l-serine and phenol, pyrocatechol, resorcinol or pyrogallol by the replacement reaction using the intact cells. l(d)-Tyrosine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l(d)-alanine (l(d)-dopa), l(d)-serine, l-cysteine, l-cystine and S-methyl-l-cysteine were degraded to pyruvate and ammonia by the elimination reaction. These amino acids could be used as substrate, together with phenol or pyrocatechol, to synthesize l-tyrosine or l-dopa via the replacement reaction by intact cells. l-Serine and d-serine were the best amino acid substrates for the synthesis of l-tyrosine or l-dopa. l-Tyrosine and l-dopa synthesized from d-serine and phenol or pyrocatechol were confirmed to be entirely l-form after isolation and identification of these products. The isomerization of d-tyrosine to l-tyrosine was also catalyzed by intact cells.

Thus, l-tyrosine or l-dopa could be synthesized from dl-serine and phenol or pyrocatechol by intact cells of Erwinia herbicola containing tyrosine phenol lyase.  相似文献

Regulatory properties of chorismate mutase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were studied using the dialyzed cell-free extract. The enzyme activity was strongly feedback inhibited by l-phenylalanine (90% inhibition at 0.1~1 mm) and almost completely by a pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine (each at 0.1~1 mm). The enzyme from phenylalanine auxotrophs was scarcely inhibited by l-tyrosine alone but the enzyme from a wild-type strain or a tyrosine auxotroph was weakly inhibited by l-tyrosine alone (40~50% inhibition, l-tyrosine at 1 mm). The enzyme activity was stimulated by l-tryptophan and the inhibition by l-phenylalanine alone or in the simultaneous presence of l-tyrosine was reversed by l-tryptophan. The Km value of the reaction for chorismate was 2.9 } 10?3 m. Formation of chorismate mutase was repressed by l-phenylalanine. A phenylalanine auxotrophic l-tyrosine producer, C. glutamicum 98–Tx–71, which is resistant to 3-amino-tyrosine, p-aminophenylanaine, p-fluorophenylalanine and tyrosine hydroxamate had chorismate mutase derepressed to two-fold level of the parent KY 10233. The enzyme in C. glutamicum seems to have two physiological roles; one is the control of the metabolic flow to l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine biosynthesis and the other is the balanced partition of chorismate between l-phenylalanine-l-tyrosine biosynthesis and l-tryptophan biosynthesis.  相似文献

Properties of 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthetase from Corynebacterium glutamicum were examined using the cell free extract. The optimum pH for the reaction was broad ranging from 5.5 to 7.0 and the optimum temperature was 37°C. Co2+ inhibited the enzyme activity at 20°C, whereas Co2+ apparently stimulated the enzyme activity at 37°C because the ion protected the enzyme from inactivation at 37°C. Co2+ reversed the inhibition of the enzyme activity by EDTA. The activity of DAHP synthetase was feedback inhibited only weakly by l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine or l-tryptophan alone, but was strongly inhibited synergistically by l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine. l-Tryptophan enhanced the inhibition by the pair of l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine. Maximal inhibition was near 90 % in the simultaneous presence of the three amino acids. Sensitivity of the enzyme to the inhibitors was lost during the purification process of the enzyme or during the reaction at 37°C. Especially sensitivity to l-tryptophan was easily lost. Co2+ protected the enzyme from the desensitization. Mutants resistant to p-fluorophenylalanine plus l-tyrosine (or 3-aminotyrosine) had DAHP synthetase which was released from the feedback inhibition by the three amino acids. The formation of the enzyme was not affected by aromatic amino acids.  相似文献

Seven optical active 2-benzylamino alcohols were synthesized by reduction of N-benzoyl derivatives of L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid and L-lysine and applied for the resolution of (±)-trans-chrysanthemic acid. d-trans-Chrys-anthemic acid was obtained by resolution via the salts of 2-benzylamino alcohols derived from L-valine and L-leucine, while (?)-trans-chrysanthemic acid was prepared through the salts of the amino alcohols derived from L-alanine and L-phenylalanine.  相似文献

Kinetic parameters of d-amino acid oxidase from R. gracilis (DAAO) towards d-2-naphthyl alanine (d-2-NAla) and of l-aspartate amino transferase (l-AAT) from Escherichia coli towards 2-naphthyl pyruvate (2-NPA) were measured. The two enzymes were then combined in a one-pot reaction in which DAAO was used to generate 2-NPA which was the substrate of l-AAT in the presence of cysteine sulphinic acid (CSA) as an amino donor. The combined reactions afforded enantiomerically pure l-2-NAla in almost quantitative yield. The extremely low water solubility of 2-NAla can be partially overcome by running the biotransformation in suspension with higher formal concentration. In these conditions multiple enzyme additions are required.  相似文献

Crude ammonium sulfate fraction of a cell free extract from Bacillus natto contained an enzyme (or enzymes) which catalyzed the transamidation reaction specific for glutamine. Both l- and d-isomers of glutamine were active as substrate. On incubation of l- or d-glutamine with the enzyme preparation, two peptides consisting of glutamic acid and glutamine were formed. The main component of the peptides was readily isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and identified as γ-glutamylglutamine by paper chromatography and by paper electrophoresis using authentic peptides. The optical configuration of the amino acid residues in the dipeptide was determined by digestion of the acid hydrolyzate with l-glutamic acid decarboxylase, and the result showed that the dipeptide obtained from l-glutamine was a l-l isomer, while the dipeptide from d-glutamine was a d-d isomer.  相似文献

l-ribose isomerase (L-RI) from Cellulomonas parahominis MB426 can convert l-psicose and d-tagatose to l-allose and d-talose, respectively. Partially purified recombinant L-RI from Escherichia coli JM109 was immobilized on DIAION HPA25L resin and then utilized to produce l-allose and d-talose. Conversion reaction was performed with the reaction mixture containing 10% l-psicose or d-tagatose and immobilized L-RI at 40 °C. At equilibrium state, the yield of l-allose and d-talose was 35.0% and 13.0%, respectively. Immobilized enzyme could convert l-psicose to l-allose without remarkable decrease in the enzyme activity over 7 times use and d-tagatose to d-talose over 37 times use. After separation and concentration, the mixture solution of l-allose and d-talose was concentrated up to 70% and crystallized by keeping at 4 °C. l-Allose and d-talose crystals were collected from the syrup by filtration. The final yield was 23.0% l-allose and 7.30% d-talose that were obtained from l-psicose and d-tagatose, respectively.  相似文献

A pectin isolated from tobacco midrib contained residues of d-galacturonic acid (83.7%), L-rhamnose (2.2%), l-arabinose (2.4%) and d-galactose (11.2%) and small amounts of d-xylose and d-glucose. Methylation analysis of the pectin gave 2, 3, 5-tri- and 2, 3-di-O-methyl-l-arabinose, 3, 4-di- and 3-O-methyl-l-rhamnose and 2, 3, 6-tri-O-methyl-d-galactose. Reduction with lithium aluminum hydride of the permethylated pectin gave mainly 2, 3-di-O-methyl-d-galactose and the above methylated sugars. Partial acid hydrolysis gave homologous series of β-(1 → 4)-linked oligosaccharides up to pentaose of d-galactopyranosyl residues, and 2-O-(α-d-galactopyranosyluronic acid)-l-rhamnose, and di- and tri-saccharides of α-(1 → 4)-linked d-galactopyranosyluronic acid residues.

These results suggest that the tobacco pectin has a backbone consisting of α-(1 → 4)-linked d-galactopyranosyluronic acid residues which is interspersed with 2-linked l-rhamnopyranosyl residues. Some of the l-rhamnopyranosyl residues carry substituents on C-4. The pectin has long chain moieties of β-(1 → 4)-linked d-galactopyranosy] residues.  相似文献

An inducible tryptophanase was crystallized from the cell extract of Proteus rettgeri grown in a medium containing l-tryptophan. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat treatment, DEAE-Sephadex and hydroxylapatite column chromatographies. Crystals were obtained from solutions of the purified enzyme by the addition of ammonium sulfate.

The crystalline enzyme preparation was homogeneous by the criteria of ultracentrifugation and zone electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 210,000.

The crystalline enzyme catalyzed the degradation of l-tryptophan into indole, pyruvate and ammonia in the presence of added pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme also catalyzed pyruvate formation from 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan, 5-methyl-l-tryptophan, S-methyl-l-cysteine and l- cysteine. l-, d-Alanine, l-phenylalanine and indole inhibited pyruvate formation from these substrates.  相似文献

The 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) synthetase activities of cell-free extracts from various bacteria were investigated. The experiments on the substrate specificity of KAPA synthetase, using crude cell-free extracts from bacteria having high enzyme activity, showed that l-serine and pyruvic acid could replace l-alanine, but that, when the enzyme was partially purified, these compounds were not effective. Many kinds of amino acids such as l-cysteine, l-serine, d-alanine, glycine, d-histidine, and l-histidine, inhibited the enzyme activity. This inhibition was found to be competitive with l-alanine. Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, which is a cofactor of the enzyme, also inhibited the enzyme activity at high concentrations. The repression of KAPA synthetase by biotin occurred in Bacillus subtilis and B. sphaericus but not in Micrococcus roseus and Pseudomonas fluorescens, even at a concentration of 1000 mµg per ml of biotin.  相似文献

Alanine racemase is a fold type III PLP-dependent amino acid racemase enzyme catalysing the conversion of l-alanine to d-alanine utilised by bacterial cell wall for peptidoglycan synthesis. As there are no known homologs in humans, it is considered as an excellent antibacterial drug target. The standard inhibitors of this enzyme include O-carbamyl-d-serine, d-cycloserine, chlorovinyl glycine, alafosfalin, etc. d-Cycloserine is indicated for pulmonary and extra pulmonary tuberculosis but therapeutic use of drug is limited due to its severe toxic effects. Toxic effects due to off-target affinities of cycloserine and other substrate analogs have prompted new research efforts to identify alanine racemase inhibitors that are not substrate analogs. In this review, an updated status of known inhibitors of alanine racemase enzyme has been provided which will serve as a rich source of structural information and will be helpful in generating selective and potent inhibitor of alanine racemase.  相似文献

New devices for resolution of DL-phenylalanine by an enzymatic method have been developed by using ammonium N-acetyl-DL-phenylalanate as a substrate. In this procedure, crystals of l-phenylalanine and ammonium N-acetyl-d-phenylalanate are separated alternately or simultaneously from reaction mixtures containing acylase, as first crops. The whole resulting solution including acylase can be reused. Ammonium acetate formed as a by-product was found to inhibit the enzyme.  相似文献

The mechanism of stereospecific production of l-amino acids from the corresponding 5-substituted hydantoins by Bacillus brevis AJ-12299 was studied. The enzymes involved in the reaction were partially purified by DEAE-Toyopearl 650M column chromatography and their properties were investigated. The conversion of dl-5-substituted hydantoins to the corresponding l-amino acids consisted of the following two successive reactions. The first step was the ring-opening hydrolysis to N-carbamoyl amino acids catalyzed by an ATP dependent l-5-substituted hydantoin hydrolase. This reaction was stereospecific and the N-carbamoyl amino acid produced was exclusively the l-form. N-Carbamoyl-l-amino acid was also produced from the d-form of 5-substituted hydantoin, which suggests that spontaneous racemization occurred in the reaction mixture. In the second step, N-carbamoyl-l-amino acid was hydrolyzed to l-amino acid by an N-carbamoyl-l-amino acid hydrolase, which was also an l-specific enzyme. The ATP dependency of the l-5-substituted hydantoin hydrolase was supposed to be the limiting factor in the production of l-amino acids from the corresponding 5-substituted hydantoins by this bacterium.  相似文献

An acidic polysaccharide (APS-H) purified from the hemicellulosic fraction of the midrib of Nicotiana tabacum was composed of d-galacturonic acid, l-rhamnose, l-arabinose and d-galactose in a molar ratio of 31.8: 15.4: 9.9: 42.9. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 90,000 by gel filtration chromatography. APS-H had a pectin-like structure in which the rhamnogalacturonan backbone was composed of (1 → 2)-linked l-rhamnopyranosyl and (1 → 4)-linked d-galacturonosyl residues in a ratio of approximately 1: 2.1. It also contained (1 → 4)-linked d-galactan and (1 → 5)-linked l-arabinofuranosyl moieties as the side chains. Branch points occurred mainly at C-4 of (1 → 2)-linked l-rhamnosyl residues in the backbone and at C-6 of (1 → 4)-linked d-galactosyl residues in the side chains.  相似文献

Neutral sugar composition of cell walls of suspension-cultured tobacco cells was examined with the advance of culture age by an anion-exchange chromatography. Isolated cell walls gave on hydrolysis the following sugars: 2% of l-rhamnose, 6% of d-mannose, 26% of l-arabinose, 13% of d-galactose, 8% of d-xylose and 47% of d-glucose as neutral sugars. Little changes in composition of cell wall polysaccharides were recognized with the advance of culture age. Sugar composition of the extra-cellular polysaccharides was similar to that of hemicellulose fraction from cell walls. Pectinic acid gave on hydrolysis 2-O-(α-d-galactopyranosyluronic acid)-l-rhamnose, d-galacturonic acid and its oligosaccharides.  相似文献
