1. The interaction of NAD+, NADH and various nucleotide analogues with pig kidney alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum) EC 3.1.3.1) has been investigated by kinetic means. Some inhibitors act uncompetitively whereas others markedly increase the slopes of double reciprocal plots suggesting they have some affinity for the free enzyme. 2. The compounds seem to bind to alkaline phosphatase through interactions of their bases with a relatively non-specific region of the enzyme, although it is likely that for those nucleotides having some affinity for the free enzyme there is some attraction between the pyrophosphate backbone and the active site. 3. From studies of the effect of NAD+ and NADH on ATPase activity it was concluded that the substrate inhibition that is characteristic of the ATPase activity of alkaline phosphatase originates from binding of ATP to the site assumed to exist for NAD+ and NADH. The potentiation of NAD+-inhibition of ATPase activity by Mg-2+ is probably a result of the depletion of [ATP-4-] the true substrate. The depletion allows NAD+ to complete more effectively for the active site. 4. Binding of NADH is favoured by protonation of an enzymic group with a pK of approx. 9.0 belonging possibly to a tyrosine residue or a zinc hydrate. 5. A large entropy decrease was found to accompany the binding of NAD+ and NADH to alkaline phosphatase. This may be further evidence of an "induced-fit" mechanism previously suspected because of the synergistic inhibitory effects of adenosine and nicotinamide. 相似文献

Summary The activity of UDPGlc: NAD oxidoreductase is measured in enzyme preparations obtained from sycamore cambium and xylem tissue. The activity of this enzyme is greater in xylem than in cambium whether expressed on a specific activity basis or on a per-cell basis. It is suggested that, in developing xylem, direct oxidation of UDPGlc may contribute significantly to the biosynthesis of polysaccharide precursors.Abbreviations UDPGlc

1. The specific NAD-glycohydrolase activity is increased 70 and 50% over the normal in lung and liver tissues respectively of tuberculous mice. 2. Concomitant with the increase in the NAD-glycohydrolase activity, the NAD–isonicotinic acid hydrazide-exchange activity also is increased in infection. The isonicotinic acid hydrazide analogue of NAD formed by the lung enzyme from tuberculous mice has been isolated and identified. 3. The increased NAD-glycohydrolase activity in infection has been shown to be of host-tissue origin and not due to the activation of the bacterial enzyme on growth of the organism in vivo. 4. In addition to NAD, NMN and NADP also participate in the exchange reaction with isonicotinic acid hydrazide catalysed by NAD glycohydrolase. The interference of the drug at the nucleotide level of metabolism is therefore suggested. 相似文献

An enzyme that can synthesize O-alkylhomoserine from alcohols and O-acetylhomoserine was purified from Corynebacterium acetophilum. The enzyme was found to be identical to O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase; a preparation that appeared homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed both O-alkylhomoserine-synthesizing and O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase activities. Its molecular weight was determined to be about 220,000, and it consisted of two subunits. Its pH and temperature optima for the two reactions were the same. Besides catalyzing the formation of homocysteine from O-acetylhomoserine and sulfide, it also catalyzed the syntheses of O-alkylhomoserines corresponding to the alcohols added form O-acetylhomoserine and ethyl alcohol, n-propylalcohol, n-butyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, and n-pentyl alcohol, its activities with these alcohols decreasing in that order. L-Homoserine, O-succinylhomoserine, and O-acetylserine reacted with sulfide. O-ethylhomoserine, O-acetylthreonine, O-succinylhomoserine, and O-acetylserine inhibited both enzyme activities. O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae also showed O-alkylhomoserine-synthesizing activity. Thus, O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase seems to catalyze O-alkylhomoserine synthesis in the presence of appropriate concentrations of alcohol and O-acetylhomoserine in microorganisms. 相似文献

Summary Epiphytic microorganisms present on cotton plants synthesized 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) from tryptophan. Microorganisms from the root zone synthesized 3 times the amount of IAA when compared with the shoot zone and the root zone contained a much higher number of microorganisms. IAA-synthesizing activity was eliminated when the tissues were treated with a weak solution of mercuric chloride. Various tests on the possible accumulation of IAA from external sources showed that IAA synthesized outside the plant does not accumulate in the plant. Although epiphytic microorganisms synthesize IAA in large amounts, they do not influence the IAA content of the plant due to (1) lack of available tryptophan, (2) destruction of the auxin by the microflora, and (3) the polar movement of the auxin. 相似文献

Pentanol isomers such as 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol are a useful class of chemicals with a potential application
as biofuels. They are found as natural by-products of microbial fermentations from amino acid substrates. However, the production
titer and yield of the natural processes are too low to be considered for practical applications. Through metabolic engineering,
microbial strains for the production of these isomers have been developed, as well as that for 1-pentanol and pentenol. Although
the current production levels are still too low for immediate industrial applications, the approach holds significant promise
for major breakthroughs in production efficiency. 相似文献

The organophosphonates are biogenic and xenobiotic compounds characterized by the presence of a stable carbon to phosphorus (C-P) bond. The C-P bond imparts upon these molecules a relative resistance to (bio)degradation and fears have been expressed over their environmental recalcitrance and possible ecotoxicity, as more than 20×103 tonnes of these compounds enter the environment annually in the U.S.A. and western Europe alone (Egli, 1988). Biodegradation of organophosphonates is generally accepted to be dependent upon the phosphate status of the cell, with biodegradation occurring only under conditions of phosphate limitation. In recent years, however, several novel bacteria capable of completely mineralizing both natural and man-made organophosphonates have been isolated. These organisms represent a departure, both at a physiological and genetic level, from the accepted consensus that organophosphonates are utilized only phosphorus sources. This review covers all aspects of our knowledge of organophosphonate metabolism over the last 50 years, concentrating on the advances made in the last 10 years. 相似文献
