Summary Alpha-amylase production byBacillus
licheniformis M27 in submerged fermentation was reduced from 480 to 30 units/ml when soluble starch concentration in medium was increased from 0.2 to 1.0%. In contrast, the enzyme production increased by 29 times even with 42 fold increase in the concentration of soluble starch and other starchy substrates in solid state fermentation system. The data establish regulation of the enzyme formation by enzyme end-product in submerged fermentation and ability of solid state fermentation to minimize it significantly. These features were not known earlier. 相似文献

The utility of engineering enzyme activity is expanding with the development of biotechnology. Conventional methods have limited applicability as they require high-throughput screening or three-dimensional structures to direct target residues of activity control. An alternative method uses sequence evolution of natural selection. A repertoire of mutations was selected for fine-tuning enzyme activities to adapt to varying environments during the evolution. Here, we devised a strategy called sequence co-evolutionary analysis to control the efficiency of enzyme reactions (SCANEER), which scans the evolution of protein sequences and direct mutation strategy to improve enzyme activity. We hypothesized that amino acid pairs for various enzyme activity were encoded in the evolutionary history of protein sequences, whereas loss-of-function mutations were avoided since those are depleted during the evolution. SCANEER successfully predicted the enzyme activities of beta-lactamase and aminoglycoside 3′-phosphotransferase. SCANEER was further experimentally validated to control the activities of three different enzymes of great interest in chemical production: cis-aconitate decarboxylase, α-ketoglutaric semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and inositol oxygenase. Activity-enhancing mutations that improve substrate-binding affinity or turnover rate were found at sites distal from known active sites or ligand-binding pockets. We provide SCANEER to control desired enzyme activity through a user-friendly webserver. 相似文献

Summary The tryptophan synthase genes,trpA andtrpB, from a moderate thermophile,Bacillus
stearothermophilus IFO13737, were expressed efficiently inEscherichia
coli. The recombinant tryptophan synthase amounted to 22% of the soluble cellular protein, and was purified to homogeneity by three steps. The enzyme is more thermostable thanE.coli tryptophan synthase, especially the subunit. The enzyme is also more resistant to sodium dodecylsulfate and methanol thanE.coli enzyme. 相似文献

A process for production of mold lactase was developed. Tests were carried out in pilot and industrial scale with an Aspergillus niger strain selected after screening a number of molds.A computer coupled autoanalyzer system was used for monitoring enzyme formation in the pilot fermentor. Lactase production was investigated using different pH- and temperature-profiles. A. niger lactase has an acid pH optimum, a high temperature optimum and good stability. It does not require any metal ions. It is suitable for immobilization for hydrolysis of lactose in acid whey.Three-fold enhancement of lactase production was obtained by mutagenizing A. niger using NTG as mutagenic agent.The lactases produced by the mutants have the same pH and temperature optima and stability but the growth properties of the mutants were different from those of the original strain.Sufficient specific activity of the enzyme preparation for immobilization was obtained by purifying the enzyme by selective adsorption on Na-Ca-silicate. 相似文献

Summary Evidence is presented which supports the view that two routes exist for the formation of glucose when cellulosic material is saccharified using T. reesei enzyme preparations. The first is via cellobiose and for the second, glucose appears to be formed by a route not involving cellobiose. The second route becomes more apparent when dealing with less crystalline cellulose. This should be considered when constructing strains to produce enzyme preparations for saccharification of less crystalline cellulose. 相似文献

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate car?ylase (E.C. 4.1.1.39) from 2 blue-green algae, Plectonema boryanum and Anabaena variabilis, was isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Both enzymes had a sedimentation value of about 18s, similar to that of Chromatium enzyme. The presence of two subunits (A, B) in the algal enzyme was demonstrated by Nadodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the two subunits was determined: for Plectonema A, 5.4 × 104 and B, 1.3 × 104 and Anabaena A, 5.2 × 104 and B, 1.3 × 104, respectively. The car?ylase reaction catalysed by the algal enzyme was similar to the higher plant enzyme in exhibiting the Mg2+-effect, the optimal pH shifting from alkaline to neutral by elevating the concentration of Mg2+ in the assay mixture. The rabbit antisera developed against the spinach ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate car?ylase and its catalytic oligomer exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the car?ylation reaction catalysed by the algal enzyme. 相似文献

Acinetobacter
calcoaceticus is known to contain soluble and membrane-bound quinoprotein D-glucose dehydrogenases while other oxidative bacteria such asPseudomonas orGluconobacter contain only membrane-bound enzyme. The two different forms were believed to be the same enzyme or interconvertible. Present results show that the two different forms of glucose dehydrogenase are distinct from each other in their enzymatic and immunological properties as well as in their molecular size.The soluble and membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenases were separated after French press-disruption by repeated ultracentrifugation, and then purified to nearly homogeneous state. The soluble enzyme was a polypeptide of 55 Kdaltons, while the membrane-bound enzyme was a polypeptide of 83 Kdaltons which is mainly monomeric in detergent solution. Both enzymes showed different enzymatic properties including substrate specificity, optimum pH, kinetics for glucose, and reactivity for ubiquinone-homologues. Furthermore, the two enzymes could be distinguished immunochemically: the membrane-bound enzyme is cross-reactive with an antibody raised against membrane-bound enzyme purified fromPseudomonas but not with antibody elicited against the soluble enzyme, while the soluble enzyme is not cross-reactive with the antibody of membrane-bound enzyme.Data also suggest that the membrane-bound enzyme functions by linking to the respiratory chain via ubiquinone though the function of the soluble enzyme remains unclear. 相似文献

Source of pyrrole-2-carboxylate in mammalian urine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pyrrole-2-car?ylate, earlier reported in human urine and labeled in rat urine after administration of radioactive proline, arises more directly from labeled hydroxyproline. Antibiotic treatment appeared to exclude epimerization of administered hydroxy-L-proline to a D-epimer by intestinal bacteria. A likely reaction for the in vivo conversion is hydroxy-L-proline oxidation by the L-amino acid oxidase of rat kidney, demonstrable with purified enzyme. Crystalline D-amino acid oxidase also catalyzes a slow oxidation of hydroxy-L-proline. These two reactions are adequate to account for the normal excretion of pyrrole-2-car?ylate by a number of species. 相似文献

Summary Conditions for the production of intracellular fructosyl transferase fromA.
pullulans were investigated. Sucrose was an excellent carbon source, and there was a tendency for the enzyme production to be increased as sucrose concentration was increased. Both 0.5% phosphate and 2% sodium nitrate had positive effects on enzyme production. It was possible to increase the intracellular enzyme production up to 140% by increasing the concentration of magnesium sulfate from 0.05 % to 0.2%. 相似文献

Regulation of Escherichia coli phosphofructokinase in situ 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The activity of E. coli phosphofructokinase in situ has been studied in cells permeabilized to its substrates, products and effectors by a toluene-freezing treatment. The in situ enzyme exhibits moderate cooperativity in respect to F6P (nH up to 2.0), rather low affinity for ATP (with Km up to 1 mM when saturated with F6P), activation by ADP, and inhibition, within the physiological range of concentrations, by high ATP and phosphoenolpyruvate. This behaviour of the enzyme in situ at concentrations of the effector metabolites as those reported in intact cells in glycolytic and gluconeogenic conditions could account for the changes of phosphofructokinase activity needed for metabolic regulation in vivo. 相似文献

Cell suspension cultures of Cinchona succirubra were cultivated in shake cultures and for the first time in airlift fermenters. Under both conditions L-tryptophan exerts a stimulatory effect on alkaloid formation. In this context the regulatory pattern of some shikimate pathway enzymes was investigated in non-supplemented and tryptophan supplemented Cinchona cell cultures. A remarkable increase of tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) activity was observed in Cinchona cells under the influence of tryptophan. Apparently, like in some other indole alkaloid producing cell cultures, a high TDC activity is a prerequisite for alkaloid formation. Growth pattern and some enzyme activities of C. succirubra fermenter cultures at controlled and non-regulated pH levels were followed. Optimum growth and alkaloid formation were recorded under non-regulated (normal) pH conditions.Abbreviations TDC

Summary
Pachysolen tannophilus contains — in addition to an NADPH-linked xylose reductase — a separate NADH-linked one, in this respect differing from the yeast Pichia stipitis. Both enzyme proteins can conveniently be separated from each other by either ion exchange chromatography or chromatofocusing. 相似文献

Summary Catalytic activities of -chymotrypsin and subtilisin Carlsberg for transesterification of N-acetyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester in ethanol markedly increased by decreasing the amount of the enzymes in the reaction mixtures. The results were kinetically attributed to changes in KM and kcat due to formation of smaller enzyme aggregates. 相似文献

Fluoride ion is released nearly stoichiometrically when (?)-erythro-fluorocitrate is incubated with aconitase. The release of F? parallels the loss in activity and could arise from direct displacement of F? by a base on the enzyme or from dehydration to fluoro-cis-aconitate and attack of an enzymic base to release F?. Aconitase inactivated by 14C-fluorocitrate does not retain radioactivity when passed through G-50 Sephadex or precipitated by ammonium sulfate. Fullenzymicactivity can be regained after either of these treatments by activation by cysteine and ferrous salts. These data are consistent with the report of fluorocitrate being a competitive (and non-competitive) inhibitor of aconitase (Villafranca, J.J. (1972) Intra-Science Chem. Rept. 6 (4), 1–11) which rapidly inactivates the enzyme. This inactivated enzyme may be a very labile covalent complex, a very tight complex between enzyme and fluoro-cis-aconitate or a tight complex between a defluorinated deravitive of fluorocitrate.In the course of Peters (1957) extensive work on the toxic effects of fluoroacetate, he determined that fluoroacetate was metabolically converted to fluorocitrate. This finding and the fact that citrate levels rise soon after ingestion of fluoroacetate led to the suggestion that fluorocitrate inactivates aconitase (E.C. 4.2.1.2).Recently, conflicting reports concerning the site of inactivation in mitochondria by the inhibiting isomer of fluorocitrate, (?)-erythro-fluorocitrate (1R:2R, 1-fluoro-2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate) have appeared (Eanes et al. 1972; Brand et al, 1973). Eanes et al. (1972) contends that the tricarboxylate carrier is the site of inhibition, while Brand et al. (1973) has compelling evidence that aconitase is the site of inhibition. This controversy is a matter of intrepretation of the results and a greater knowledge of the inactivation of aconitase by fluorocitrate may be useful in these interpretations. The results reported herein are concerned with the mechanism of inactivation of purified mitochondrial aconitase by fluorocitrate and demonstrate that this reaction is readily reversible. 相似文献

Further studies of the transaminase responsible for the first committed step in alkaloid formation in Conium maculatum have shown the L-alanine: 5-ketooctanal transaminase to occur in both the mitochondria and chloroplast. Experiments suggest that these enzymes are the isoenzymes Transaminase A and B respectively previously isolated by the author. It is suggested that the chloroplast enzyme is normally responsible for alkaloid production. 相似文献

o-Succinylbenzoic acid (OSB) is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of shikimatederived anthraquinones. The cell free activation of o-succinylbenzoic acid in extracts of anthraquinone producing cells of Galium mollugo L. is demonstrated for the first time. This activation depends on the presence of ATP, coenzyme A and Mg2+. The o-succinylbenzoic acid coenzyme A ester was identified by converting it to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid by a bacterial enzyme, viz. naphthoatesynthase. It is thus demonstrated that the o-succinylbenzoic acid coenzyme A ester derived from bacteria and from Galium mollugo cells are identical. 相似文献
