Pyridoxamine (pyridoxine) 5′-phosphate oxidase (EC. 1.4.3.5) has been purified from dry baker’s yeast to an apparent homogeneity on a polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis in the presence of 10 µm of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride throughout purification.1) The purified enzyme, obtained as holo-flavoprotein, has a specific activity of 27µmol/mg/hr for pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate at 37°C, and a ratio of pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase to pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase is approximately 0.25 at a substrate concentration of 285 µm. Km values for both substrates are 18 µm for pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate and 2.7 µm for pyridoxine 5′-phosphate, respectively.2) The enzyme can easily oxidize pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate, but when pyridoxamine and pyridoxine 5′-phosphate are coexisted in a reaction mixture the enzyme activity is markedly suppressed much beyond the values expected from its high affinity (low Km) and low Vmax for the latter substrate.3) Optimum temperature for both substrates is approximately 45°C, and optimum pH is near 9 for pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate and 8 for pyridoxine 5′-phosphate.4) From the data obtained, the mechanism of regulation of this enzyme in production of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and a reasonable substrate for the enzyme in vivo are discussed. 相似文献

Myo-Inositol is an important metabolite for normal growth and development of all living organisms. The cellular level of myo-inositol is controlled by the enzyme L-myo- inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) [EC 5.5.1.4]. Appreciable level of MIPS activity was detected from the common pteridophytes
like Dicranopteris, Diplazium, Diplopterygium, Equisetum, Lycopodium, Polypodium, Pteridium, Selaginella etc. available in Darjeeling Himalayas. The enzyme was partially purified from the reproductive pinnules of Diplopterygium glaucum (Thunb.) Nakai. The purification obtained was about 81 fold and the recovery was about 13.5 %. The final enzyme preparation
specifically utilized D-Glucose-6-phosphate and NAD+ as its substrate and co-factor respectively. It shows pH optima between
7.0 and 7.5 while the temperature maximum was at 35 °C. The enzyme activity was slightly inhibited by Na+ and Cd2+ and highly inhibited by Li+ and Hg2+. The K
rn values for D-glucose-6-phosphate and NAD+ was found to be as 0.83 mM and 0.44 mM respectively while the V
max values were 1.42 mM and 1.8 mM for D-glucose-6-phosphate and NAD+ respectively. The present study indicates the universal
occurrence of this enzyme in all plant groups. 相似文献

A natural precursor (L) of streptomycin which had no antibiotic potency was obtained from mycelium suspension of Streptomyces griseus in glucose solution and was transformed to streptomycin by H enzyme obtained from mycelium of the organism. This transforming reaction was carried out most effectively at slightly alkaline pH and inhibited by inorganic phosphate and ethylenediaminetetraacetate. L component was considered to be a phosphorylated compound and liberation of the phosphoric acid was essential for L component to be transformed to streptomycin. This transformation was performed not only by H enzyme but also by intestinal alkaline phosphatase, although some difference in the reaction mechanism was supposed to be between those two enzymes. 相似文献

The cytoplasm was identified as the probable location of pyrophosphate-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.90) in suspension-cultured cells of soybean (Glycine max L.). The characteristics of the partially purified enzyme were investigated. The activity was strongly dependent on the presence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and this activator exerted its effects through a dramatic increase in the affinity of the enzyme for its substrates, fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic pyrophosphate. Saturation curves for all substrates were hyperbolic. The apparent molecular weight of the partially purified enzyme was 183000 by gel filtration chromatography and 128000 by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. The activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was not accompanied by any measurable change in molecular weight. The possible role of this enzyme in the metabolism of non-photosynthetic sink tissues is discussed.Abbreviations PFP

To understand the physiological functions of thermostable fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (TNA1-Fbp) from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1, its recombinant enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and the enzymatic properties were characterized. The enzyme showed maximal activity for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
at 95°C and pH 8.0 with a half-life (t
1/2) of about 8 h. TNA1-Fbp had broad substrate specificities for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and its analogues including fructose-1-phosphate,
glucose-1-phosphate, and phosphoenolpyruvate. In addition, its enzyme activity was increased five-fold by addition of 1 mM
Mg2+, while Li+ did not enhance enzymatic activity. TNA1-Fbp activity was inhibited by ATP, ADP, and phosphoenolpyruvate, but AMP up to 100
mM did not have any effect. TNA1-Fbp is currently defined as a class V fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) because it is
very similar to FBPase of Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 based on sequence homology. However, this enzyme shows a different range of substrate specificities. These results suggest
that TNA1-Fbp can establish new criterion for class V FBPases. 相似文献

Background
Giardia lamblia is a pathogen of humans and other vertebrates. The synthesis of glycogen and of structural oligo and polysaccharides critically determine the parasite's capacity for survival and pathogenicity. These characteristics establish that UDP-glucose is a relevant metabolite, as it is a main substrate to initiate varied carbohydrate metabolic routes.Results
Herein, we report the molecular cloning of the gene encoding UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from genomic DNA of G. lamblia, followed by its heterologous expression in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme was characterized to have a monomeric structure. Glucose-1-phosphate and UTP were preferred substrates, but the enzyme also used galactose-1-phosphate and TTP. The catalytic efficiency to synthesize UDP-galactose was significant. Oxidation by physiological compounds (hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide) inactivated the enzyme and the process was reverted after reduction by cysteine and thioredoxin. UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine pyrophosphorylase, the other UTP-related enzyme in the parasite, neither used galactose-1-phosphate nor was affected by redox modification.Conclusions
Our results suggest that in G. lamblia the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is regulated by oxido-reduction mechanism. The enzyme exhibits the ability to synthesize UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose and it plays a key role providing substrates to glycosyl transferases that produce oligo and polysaccharides.General significance
The characterization of the G. lamblia UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase reinforces the view that in protozoa this enzyme is regulated by a redox mechanism. As well, we propose a new pathway for UDP-galactose production mediated by the promiscuous UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase of this organism. 相似文献7.
Ribose-5-phosphate ketol-isomerase, an enzyme isomerizing ribose-5-phosphate to ribulose-5-phosphate, is isolated from Candida utilis which is grown in a medium containing xylose. The enzyme is also purified by means of fractionation with ammonium sulfate, acetone, and by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography.The enzyme has its optimum pH at 7.5 and optimum temperature at 50°C.Michaelis-Menten constant for d-ribose-5-phosphate is 7.38 × 10?4 M and activation energy of the enzyme reaction is 10,525 calories.The enzyme activity is inhibited by p-CMB, EDTA and sodium pyrophosphate, and activated by the addition of magnesium ion.Extract of Candida utilis contains polyol: NAD oxidoreductase which catalyzes the conversion of polyols to the corresponding ketoses.By fractionation with ammonium sulfate and on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, the purity of enzyme has been increased about 14-fold.The relatively high activity with both xylitol and sorbitol suggests that they may be the natural substances for the enzyme.Evidence suggests that this enzyme relates to the metabolism of d-xylose in Candida utilis. 相似文献

The enzymology of methanol utilization in thermotolerant methylotrophic Bacillus strains was investigated. In all strains an immunologically related NAD-dependent methanol dehydrogenase was involved in the initial oxidation of methanol. In cells of Bacillus sp. C1 grown under methanol-limiting conditions this enzyme constituted a high percentage of total soluble protein. The methanol dehydrogenase from this organism was purified to homogeneity and characterized. In cell-free extracts the enzyme displayed biphasic kinetics towards methanol, with apparent K
m values of 3.8 and 166 mM. Carbon assimilation was by way of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase cleavage and transketolase/transaldolase rearrangement variant of the RuMP cycle of formaldehyde fixation. The key enzymes of the RuMP cycle, hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (HPS) and hexulose-6-phosphate isomerase (HPI), were present at very high levels of activity. Failure of whole cells to oxidize formate, and the absence of formaldehyde-and formate dehydrogenases indicated the operation of a non-linear oxidation sequence for formaldehyde via HPS. A comparison of the levels of methanol dehydrogenase and HPS in cells of Bacillus sp. C1 grown on methanol and glucose suggested that the synthesis of these enzymes is not under coordinate control.Abbreviations RuMP

A screening for the enzyme L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase [EC 5.5.1.4] has been made first time in both vegetative and reproductive parts of the representative members of pteridophytes: Lycopodium, Selaginella, Equisetum, Polypodium, Dryopteris, and Gleichenia. The enzyme has been partially purified following low-speed centrifugation, streptomycin sulphate precipitation, ammonium sulphate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel-filtration through Sephadex G-200, and characterised from the reproductive pinnules of Gleichenia glauca Smith. The enzyme has a pH optimum at 7.5. The Km for glucose-6-P and NAD+ were 0.922 × 10–3 M and 0.9 × 10–4 M, respectively. A basal activity of the enzyme has been recorded in absence of exogenous NAD+. The enzyme activity was augmented with NH4Cl, but heavy metals like Hg2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ inactivated it. 相似文献

myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase is a conserved enzyme that catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in inositol biosynthesis. Despite its wide occurrence in all eukaryotes, the role of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase and de novo inositol biosynthesis in cell signaling and organism development has been unclear. In this study, we isolated loss-of-function mutants in the Arabidopsis MIPS1 gene from different ecotypes. It was found that all null mips1 mutants are defective in embryogenesis, cotyledon venation patterning, root growth, and root cap development. The mutant roots are also agravitropic and have reduced basipetal auxin transport. mips1 mutants have significantly reduced levels of major phosphatidylinositols and exhibit much slower rates of endocytosis. Treatment with brefeldin A induces slower PIN2 protein aggregation in mips1, indicating altered PIN2 trafficking. Our results demonstrate that MIPS1 is critical for maintaining phosphatidylinositol levels and affects pattern formation in plants likely through regulation of auxin distribution. 相似文献

Summary The cluster of streptomycin (SM) production genes in Streptomyces griseus was further analysed by determining the nucleotide sequence of genes strFGHIK. The products of the strF and/or strG genes may be involved in the formation of N-methyl-l-glucosamine, and that of the strH gene in the first glycosylation step condensing streptidine-6-phosphate and dihydrostreptose. The putative Strl protein showed strong similarity to the amino-terminal NAD(P)-binding sites of many dehydrogenases, especially of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases. The product of the strK gene strongly resembles the alkaline phosphatase of Escherichia coli. It was shown that S. griseus excretes an enzyme that specifically cleaves both SM-6-phosphate and — more slowly — SM-3-phosphate during the production phase for SM. The identity of this enzyme with the StrK protein was demonstrated by expression of the strK gene in Streptomyces lividans 66. Further evidence for an involvement of these genes in SM biosynthesis came from the fact that genes homologous to them were found in the equivalent gene cluster of the hydroxy-SM producer Streptomyces glaucescens; these, however, were in part differently organized. The ca. 5 kb DNA segment downstream of strI in S. griseus which contains the strK gene was found to be located in inverse orientation between the homologues of the aphD and strR genes in S. glaucescens. 相似文献

Pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.40) was partially purified from both autotrophically and heterotrophycally grown Paracoccus denitrificans. The organism grown under heterotrophic conditions contains four times more pyruvate kinase than under autotrophic conditions. The enzyme isolated from both sources exhibited sigmoidal kinetics for both phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and ADP. The apparent M
m for ADP and PEP in the autotrophic enzyme were 0.63 mM ADP and 0.25 mM PEP. The effect of several low molecular weight metabolites on the pyruvate kinase activity was investigated. Ribose-5-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate and AMP stimulated the reaction at low ADP levels; this stimulation was brought about by an alteration in the apparent K
m for ADP. The pyruvate kinases differ in their response to adenine nucleotides, but both preparations seem to be under adenylate control. The results are discussed in relation to the role of pyruvate kinase as a regulatory enzyme in P. denitrificans grown under both autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions.Non-Common Abbreviations PEP

Summary The enzyme inositol-1-phosphate synthase is repressed at least 50-fold in wild type yeast grown in inositol-supplemented media. Mutants which synthesize this enzyme constitutively have been isolated using a selection procedure based on excretion of inositol into the growth medium by putative mutants. Biochemical analysis of one of the mutants (opi1-1) confirmed that the nature of the mutations is regulatory, and not in the structural gene for the enzyme. Immunoprecipitation of crude extracts with antibody directed against purified inositol-1-phosphate synthase showed that a protein which reacts with the antibody is present in the mutant grown under both repressing and derepressing conditions, in contrast to the wild type which synthesizes the enzyme only when derepressed. Assay of inositol-1-phosphate synthase activity in crude extracts of the mutant verified synthase activity in cells grown under both repressing and drepressing conditions. Synthase purified from this mutant was characterized with respect to molecular weight, thermolability and affinity for substrates glucose-6-phosphate and NAD. These analyses indicated that purified mutant synthase was similar to the wild type enzyme. 相似文献

Resting cells and to a greater extent permeabilized cells of Streptomyces griseus can oxidize dihydrostreptomycin to streptomycin. The dihydrostreptomycin oxidoreductase activity was localized in the 100 000 × g particulate fraction. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of the particulate suspension gave a band at a density of 1.09 which consisted mainly of membrane vesicles. This fraction had high dihydrostreptomycin oxidoreductase activity. S. griseus protoplasts also contain high oxidoreductase activity. These data are consistent with localization of the enzyme in the cell membrane. Dihydrostreptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin 6-phosphate can both serve as substrates for the oxidoreductase, but the phosphate was the better substrate in the cell free system. Addition of cofactors was not required for the bound dihydrostreptomycin oxidoreductase. The electron acceptor for the oxidation is unknown. Oxidation of dihydrostreptomycin 6-phosphate to streptomycin 6-phosphate very probably represents the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of streptomycin. 相似文献

sn-Glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase is responsible for the formation of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate, the backbone of membrane phospholipids of Archaea. This activity had never been detected in cell-free extract of Sulfolobus sp. Here we report the detection of this activity on the thermostable ST0344 protein of Sulfolobus tokodaii expressed in Escherichia coli, which was predicted from genomic information on S. tokodaii. This is another line of evidence for the general mechanism of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate formation by the enzyme. 相似文献

A newly found methanol-using bacterium, Mycobacterium gastri MB19, is a facultative methylotroph which assimilates methanol via the ribulose monophosphate pathway. 3-Hexulose phosphate synthase was purified from the organism and characterized. This enzyme was found to use glycolaldehyde (Km = 4.3 mm) and methylglyoxal (Km = 5.7 mm) as well as formaldehyde (Km = 1.4 mm) in the presence of d-ribulose 5-phosphate as an acceptor. The product of the condensation of glycolaldehyde with d-ribulose 5-phosphate was isolated by ion-exchange chromatography. The dephosphorylated product was tentatively identified as a heptulose with the molecular formula C7H14O7 from its spectrophotometric properties and GC-MS results. 相似文献

In the biosynthetic pathway of aromatic amino acids of Brevibacterium flavum, ratios of each biosynthetic flow at the chorismate branch point were calculated from the reaction velocities of anthranilate synthetase for tryptophan and chorismate mutase for phenylalanine and tyrosine at steady state concentrations of chorismate. When these aromatic amino acids were absent, the ratio was 61, showing an extremely preferential synthesis of tryptophan. The presence of tryptophan at 0.01 mM decreased the ratio to 0.07, showing a diversion of the preferential synthesis to phenylalanine and tyrosine. Complete recovery by glutamate of the ability to synthesize the Millon-positive substance in dialyzed cell extracts confirmed that tyrosine was synthesized via pretyrosine in this organism. Partially purified prephenate aminotransferase, the first enzyme in the tyrosine-specific branch, had a pH optimum of 8.0 and Km’s of 0.45 and 22 mM for prephenate and glutamate, respectively, and its activity was increased 15-fold by pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Neither its activity nor its synthesis was affected at all by the presence of the end product tyrosine or other aromatic amino acids. The ratio of each biosynthetic flow for tyrosine and phenylalanine at the prephenate branch point was calculated from the kinetic equations of prephenate aminotransferase and prephenate dehydratase, the first enzyme in the phenylalanine-specific branch. It showed that tyrosine was synthesized in preference to phenylalanine when phenylalanine and tyrosine were absent. Furthermore, this preferential synthesis was diverted to a balanced synthesis of phenylalanine and tyrosine through activation of prephenate dehydratase by the tyrosine thus synthesized. The feedback inhibition of prephenate dehydratase by phenylalanine was proposed to play a role in maintaining a balanced synthesis when supply of prephenate was decreased by feedback inhibition of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP*) synthetase, the common key enzyme. Overproduction of the end products in various regulatory mutants was also explained by these results. 相似文献

ORF PAE1610 from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum was first annotated as the conjectural pgi gene coding for hypothetical phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI). However, we have recently identified this ORF as the putative pgi/pmi gene coding for hypothetical bifunctional phosphoglucose/phosphomannose isomerase (PGI/PMI). To prove its coding function, ORF PAE1610 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was characterized. The 65-kDa homodimeric protein catalyzed the isomerization of both glucose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate at similar catalytic rates, thus characterizing the enzyme as bifunctional PGI/PMI. The enzyme was extremely thermoactive; it had a temperature optimum for catalytic activity of about 100°C and a melting temperature for thermal unfolding above 100°C. 相似文献

Interconversion of d-ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) and d-ribulose-5-phosphate is an important step in the pentose phosphate pathway. Two unrelated enzymes with R5P isomerase activity were first identified in Escherichia coli, RpiA and RpiB. In this organism, the essential 5-carbon sugars were thought to be processed by RpiA, while the primary role of RpiB was suggested to instead be interconversion of the rare 6-carbon sugars d-allose-6-phosphate (All6P) and d-allulose-6-phosphate. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, where only an RpiB is found, the 5-carbon sugars are believed to be the enzyme's primary substrates. Here, we present kinetic studies examining the All6P isomerase activity of the RpiBs from these two organisms and show that only the E. coli enzyme can catalyze the reaction efficiently. All6P instead acts as an inhibitor of the M. tuberculosis enzyme in its action on R5P. X-ray studies of the M. tuberculosis enzyme co-crystallized with All6P and 5-deoxy-5-phospho-d-ribonohydroxamate (an inhibitor designed to mimic the 6-carbon sugar) and comparison with the E. coli enzyme's structure allowed us to identify differences in the active sites that explain the kinetic results. Two other structures, that of a mutant E. coli RpiB in which histidine 99 was changed to asparagine and that of wild-type M. tuberculosis enzyme, both co-crystallized with the substrate ribose-5-phosphate, shed additional light on the reaction mechanism of RpiBs generally. 相似文献

It is currently thought that most flowering plants lack the capacity to synthesize trehalose, a common disaccharide of bacteria, fungi and invertebrates that appears to play a major role in desiccation tolerance. Attempts have therefore been made to render plants more drought-resistant by the expression of microbial genes for trehalose synthesis. It is demonstrated here that Arabidopsis thaliana itself possesses genes for at least one of the enzymes required for trehalose synthesis, trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase. The yeast tps2 mutant, which lacks this enzyme, is heat-sensitive, and Arabidopsis cDNA able to complement this effect has been screened for. Half of the yeast transformants that grew at 38.6°C were also able to produce trehalose. All of these expressed one of two Arabidopsis cDNA, either AtTPPA or AtTPPB, which are both homologous to the C-terminal part of the yeast TPS2 gene and other microbial trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatases. Yeast tps2 mutants expressing AtTPPA or AtTPPB contained trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase activity that could be measured both in vivo and in vitro. The enzyme dephosphorylated trehalose-6-phosphate but not glucose-6-phosphate or sucrose-6-phosphate. Both genes are expressed in flowers and young developing tissue of Arabidopsis. The finding of these novel Arabidopsis genes for trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase strongly indicates that a pathway for trehalose biosynthesis exists in plants. 相似文献
