H. L. Heijneker D. J. Ellens R. H. Tjeerde B. W. Glickman B. van Dorp P. H. Pouwels 《Molecular & general genetics : MGG》1973,124(1):83-96
Summary The enzymatic properties of purified DNA polymerase I from a strain of Escherichia coli K12 with a mutation in the polA gene have been studied. The polymerizing activity of the mutant enzyme is similar to that of the enzyme from isogenic wild-type cells, when the activity is measured on exonuclease III treated calf-thymus DNA. Also the 3–5 exonucleolytic activity is not significantly different for both enzyme preparations. The 5–3 exonucleolytic activity of DNA polymerase I isolated from the mutant strain, however, is much lower than that of wild-type DNA polymerase I. The products formed by the action of the wild-type and the mutant enzyme on nicked circular double-stranded DNA of phage X174 (RFII DNA) were analysed by sucrose-gradient sedimentation and electron-microscopy. When RFII DNA was incubated with wild-type enzyme 80% of the molecules were converted into linear molecules. All linear molecules were shorter than one phage genome. Only 25% of the molecules were branched. After incubation of RFII DNA with the mutant enzyme 62% of the molecules have become linear. More than 90% of these linear molecules were branched and the majority of them was longer than one phage genome. 相似文献

A cpk mutant of Neurospora crassa with morphological alteration was obtained spontaneously during the cross between the wild-type and a glycerol utilizing cr-l strain. The growth rate of cpk was intermediate between the wild-type and cr-1 mutant strains. The cpk conidia contained a reduced level of carotenoid pigments as compared to the wild-type conidia. The cpk mutant had no detectable amount of cyclic adenosine 3,5-monophosphate (cAMP)-binding protein at all stages of growth tested. On a DEAE-Sephacel column chromatogram, protein kinase activity of the wild type was eluted at two peaks; the first peak was cAMP-dependent, and the second one was not. In contrast, the cpk strain had two peaks of cAMP-independent enzymes. It is suggested that cAMP-dependent protein kinase may be altered in the cpk mutant into a cAMP-independent type by an alteration of the regulatory subunit of this enzyme.Abbreviations cAMP

An enzyme able to cleave the 3,5-phosphate ring of 2-methoxyethyl cyclic nucleotides (3,5-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, EC 3.1.4.17) from Serratia marcescens DSM 30121 was used to deprotect the cyclic phosphate nucleotides after chemical alkylation. The process yielded 2-O-alkylated nucleosides used as building blocks of antisense oligonucleotides for subsequent potential applications in therapeutics (antisense oligonucleotide synthesis) and diagnostics. The phosphodiesterase from the Gram-negative enteric bacterium S. marcescens was selected on account of the broad substrate range and high activity of the enzyme. The protein was purified by heat-treatment of the crude cell-free extract, followed by column chromatography (gel filtration). It was characterised and showed optimal activity at a broad pH range (pH 6.8–9.4, with a peak at ca. pH 8.5) and at a temperature of 60–65°C. No metal ions were required for activity, although Ba2+ was an activator. Conversion of 2-O-methoxyethyl cAMP into the corresponding nucleoside derivative on a multi-gram scale was successfully performed in two steps, using the S. marcescens enzyme in conjunction with a commercially available alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli. 相似文献

Summary Strain MB1015-5C of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can utilize exogenous thymidine 5-monophosphate (5-dTMP) for its DNA synthesis. Studies with either [P32] or [2-C14] labelled 5-dTMP reveal first that some of the precursor molecules are taken up intact in DNA synthesis and secondly that 3-digests of highly purified [P32] DNA yield up to 94% of all [P32] as 5-dTMP [P32]. Under the conditions used in these experiments more than 90% of the exogenously supplied 5-dTMP is broken down into orthophosphate and thymidine by an acid phosphatase. Only the orthophosphate is utilized by the yeast cells, mainly for RNA synthesis, and thymidine is not taken up. Suppression of the phosphatase activity is possible by addition of inorganic phosphate to the medium; under these conditions breakdown of 5-dTMP is suppressed but uptake and incorporation of the molecules into the DNA of strain MB1015-5C is still not very effective. 相似文献

Pyrimidine biosynthesis was investigated in Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 17759. The presence of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway enzyme activities was confirmed in this strain. Following transposon mutagenesis of the wild-type cells, a mutant strain deficient for orotidine 5-monophosphate decarboxylase activity (pyrF) was isolated. Uracil, cytosine or uridine supported the growth of this mutant. Uracil addition to minimal medium cultures of the wild-type strain diminished the levels of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme activities, while pyrimidine limitation of the mutant cells increased those de novo enzyme activities measured. It was concluded that regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis at the lelel of enzyme synthesis in P. cepacia was present. Aspartate transcarbamoylase activity was found to be regulated in the wild-type cells. Its activity was shown to be controlled in vitro by inorganic pyrophosphate, adenosine 5-triphosphate and uridine 5-phosphate. 相似文献

Structural analogues of the NADP+ were studied as potential coenzymes and inhibitors for NADP+ dependent malic enzyme from Zea mays L. leaves. Results showed that 1, N6-etheno-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADP+), 3-acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (APADP+), nicotinamide-hypoxanthine dinucleotide phosphate (NHDP+) and -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23NADPc+) act as alternate coenzymes for the enzyme and that there is little variation in the values of the Michaelis constants and only a threefold variation in Vmax for the five nucleotides. On the other hand, thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (SNADP+), 3-aminopyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (AADP+), adenosine 2-monophosphate (2AMP) and adenosine 2: 3-cyclic monophosphate (23AMPc) were competitive inhibitors with respect to NADP+, while -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 3-phosphate (3NADP+), NAD+, adenosine 3-monophosphate (3AMP), adenosine 2: 5-cyclic monophosphate (25AMPc), 5AMP, 5ADP, 5ATP and adenosine act as non-competitive inhibitors. These results, together with results of semiempirical self-consistent field-molecular orbitals calculations, suggest that the 2-phosphate group is crucial for the nucleotide binding to the enzyme, whereas the charge density on the C4 atom of the pyridine ring is the major factor that governs the coenzyme activity.Abbreviations NADP+

The gene encoding 5 3 exonuclease domain-deleted Tfi DNA polymerase, named 5 3 Exo–
Tfi fragment, from Thermus filiformis was expressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the tac promoter on a high-copy plasmid, pJR. The expressed enzyme was purified 27-fold with a 19% yield and a specific activity of 2621 U mg–1 protein. The 5 3 exonuclease domain of Tfi DNA polymerase was removed without significant effect on enzyme activity and stability. PCR conditions for the 5 3 Exo–
Tfi fragment were more tolerant to the buffer composition as compared to the full-length enzyme. 相似文献

Bovine brain contains two calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase kinases which are separated on Sephacryl S-300 column. One of these kinases has been purified to homogeneity and shown to belong to the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II family. Phosphorylation of the 63 kDa phosphodiesterase by this purified protein kinase results in the incorporation of 1.0 mol phosphate per mol subunit and an accompanying increase in Ca2+ concentrations required for the phosphodiesterase activation by calmodulin. The protein kinase undergoes autophosphorylation to incorporate 1.0 mol phosphate per mol of subunit of the enzyme and the autophosphorylated enzyme is active, independent of the presence of Ca2+. The autophosphorylation reaction as well as the protein kinase reaction are rendered Ca2+ independent in less than 15 seconds when approximately one mol phosphate per mol protein kinase is incorporated. The result suggests that activation of phosphodiesterase phosphorylation reaction may occur prior to the activation of phosphodiesterase and phosphatase during a cell Ca2+ flux via the protein kinase autophosphorylation mechanism.Abbreviations SDS

Summary An X-ray induced mutant (PC22) of the moss,Physcomitrella patens was analysed with respect to its morphology, physiology and suitability for microculture techniques. The mutant protonemata are defective in bud formation and in chloroplast division. As a consequence of the latter, giant chloroplasts are formed which disturb the development of the phragmoplast, the formation of regular cross walls, and cell division. Abnormal cross walls are rich in callose. The actin cytoskeleton was found to be less regularly developed in the mutant than in the wild type. Three-dimensional analysis of the microtubular arrangement with confocal laser scan microscopy demonstrates a close association between spindle- or phragmoplast- and interphase-microtubules. The deficiencies in chloroplast division and in bud formation can partly be compensated for by exogeneously applied cytokinin. The suitability of this particular developmental mutant for further studies was shown by regeneration of protoplasts in microculture and microinjection of the fluorochrome Lucifer yellow into the chloroplast.Abbreviations CLSM

Crude extracts of Rhodospirillum rubrum catalyzed the formation of acid-volatile radioactivity from (35S) sulfate, (35S) adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, and (35S) 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate. An enzyme fraction similar to APS-sulfotransferases from plant sources was purified 228-fold from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It is suggested here that this enzyme is specific for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, because the purified enzyme fraction metabolized adenosine-5-phosphosulfate, however, only at a rate of 1/10 of that with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. Further, the reaction with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate was inhibited with 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphate whereas this nucleotide had no effect on the reaction with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate. For this activity with adenosine-5-phosphosulfate the name APS-sulfotransferase is suggested. This APS-sulfotransferase needs thiols for activity; good rates were obtained with either dithioerythritol or reduced glutathione; other thiols like cysteine, 2-3-dimercaptopropanol or mercaptoethanol are less effective. The electron donor methylviologen did not catalyze this reaction. The pH-optimum was about 9.0; the apparent K
m for adenosine-5-phosphosulfate was determined to be 0.05 mM with this so far purified enzyme fraction. Enzyme activity was increased with K2SO4 and Na2SO4 and was inhibited by 5-AMP. These properties are similar to assimilatory APS-sulfotransferases from spinach and Chlorella.Abbreviations APS

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Rhizobium meliloti several choline derivatives, utilized as the sole carbon and nitrogen source, increase acid phosphatase activity. The enzyme activity of both bacteria could be released into the surrounding medium by EDTA-lysozyme treatment. The R. meliloti acid phosphatase activity of crude periplasmic extracts measured with p-nitrophenylphosphate was not inhibited by the presence of 5 mM choline, betaine, trimethylammonium or phosphorylcholine. The activity could not be detected using phosphorylethanolamine or phosphorylcholine as substrates. Among several phosphoesters tested only pyridoxal-5-phosphate was hydrolyzed at a considerable rate. In 7.5% polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (non-denaturing conditions) of crude extracts obtained from bacteria grown in the presence of serine, glutamate, aspartate or dimethylglycine a phosphatase activity with identical mobility could be detected when alpha-naphthylphosphate or pyridoxal-5-phosphate were used as substrates. In conclusion, although the coline metabolites are capable of increasing acid phosphatase activities in R. meliloti and in P. aeruginosa, there are two different enzymes involved, apparently in different metabolisms.Abbreviations p-NPP

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

A soluble protein phosphatase from the promastigote form of the parasitic protozoanLeishmania donovani was partially purified using Sephadex G-100, DEAE-cellulose and again Sephadex G-100 columns. The partially purified enzyme showed a native molecular weight of about 42, 000 in both Sephadex G-100 and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The sedimentation constant, stokes radius and frictional ratio were found to be 3.43S, 2.8 nm and 1.20 respectively. The enzyme preferentially utilized phosphohistone as the best exogenous substrate. Mg2+ ions were essential for enzyme activity; among other metal ions Mn2+ can replace Mg2+ to a certain extent whereas Ca2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ could not substitute for Mg2+. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 6.5–7.5 and the temperature optimum 37°C. The apparent Km for phosphohistone was 7.14 M. ATP, ADP, inorganic phosphate and pyrophosphate had inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity whereas no inhibition was observed with sodium tartrate and okadaic acid. These results suggest thatL. donovani promastigotes possess a protein phosphatase which has similar characteristics with the mammalian protein phosphatase 2C.Abbreviations PMSF

Purified ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39) was strongly and equally inhibited either by ADP or GDP and to a lesser extent by IDP. AMP or ATP exerted little effect on activity. Inhibition by the nucleotide diphosphates was competitive with respect to RuBP and non-competitive with respect to CO2 and Mg2+, respectively. Treatment of the enzyme with urea or guanidine-HCl resulted in rapid loss of activity that was not restored by dialysis even in the presence of Mg2+ and cysteine. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis of 8.0 M urea treated enzyme revealed the presence of a fast-moving (small) sub-unit with molecular weight 14150 and a slower moving (large) sub-unit with molecular weight 68000. Examination of native enzyme by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis gave sub-units of 13700 and 55500 respectively. The amino acid content standardized to phenylalanine was essentially similar to that from other sources. Arrhenius plots showed a break at 29°C with an E
a of 12.34 kcal per mole for the steeper part of the curve and a H of 11.43 kcal per mole while for the less steep region, the E

We have successfully expressed enzymatically active plant topoisomerase II in Escherichia coli for the first time, which has enabled its biochemical characterization. Using a PCR-based strategy, we obtained a full-length cDNA and the corresponding genomic clone of tobacco topoisomerase II. The genomic clone has 18 exons interrupted by 17 introns. Most of the 5 and 3 splice junctions follow the typical canonical consensus dinucleotide sequence GU-AG present in other plant introns. The position of introns and phasing with respect to primary amino acid sequence in tobacco TopII and Arabidopsis TopII are highly conserved, suggesting that the two genes are evolved from the common ancestral type II topoisomerase gene. The cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 1482 amino acids. The primary amino acid sequence shows a striking sequence similarity, preserving all the structural domains that are conserved among eukaryotic type II topoisomerases in an identical spatial order. We have expressed the full-length polypeptide in E. coli and purified the recombinant protein to homogeneity. The full-length polypeptide relaxed supercoiled DNA and decatenated the catenated DNA in a Mg2+- and ATP-dependent manner, and this activity was inhibited by 4-(9-acridinylamino)-3-methoxymethanesulfonanilide (m-AMSA). The immunofluorescence and confocal microscopic studies, with antibodies developed against the N-terminal region of tobacco recombinant topoisomerase II, established the nuclear localization of topoisomerase II in tobacco BY2 cells. The regulated expression of tobacco topoisomerase II gene under the GAL1 promoter functionally complemented a temperature-sensitive TopII

We report here studies which characterize further the interaction ofN,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with cytochromec oxidase leading to inhibition of H+ translocation by the enzyme. Further evidence is presented to show that the inhibition results from a real interaction of DCCD with the enzyme and cannot be accounted for by uncoupling and, contrary to recent criticisms, this interaction occurs specifically with subunit III of the enzyme even at relatively high inhibitor-to-enzyme stoichiometries. Use of a spin-label analogue of DCCD has enabled us to demonstrate that the carbodiimide-binding site is highly apolar and may not lie on the pathway of electron transfer.Abbreviations DCCD

The enzymatic mechanism of sulphite formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated using a purified 3-phosphoadenylsulphate (PAPS) reductase and thioredoxin. The functionally active protein (MR 80–85 k) is represented by a dimer which reduces 3-phosphoadenylyl sulphate to adenosine-3,5-bisphosphate and free sulphite at a stoichiometry of 1:1. Reduced thioredoxin is required as cosubstrate. Examination of the reaction products showed that free anionic sulphite is formed with no evidence for bound-sulphite(s) as intermediate. V
max of the enriched enzyme was 4–7 nmol sulphite · min-1 · mg-1 using the homologous thioredoxin from yeast. The velocity of reaction decreased to 0.4 nmol sulphite · min-1 · mg-1 when heterologous thioredoxin (from Escherichia coli) was used instead. The K
m of homologous thioredoxin was 0.6 · 10-6 M, for the heterologous cosubstrate it increased to 1.4 · 10-6 M. The affinity for PAPS remained practically unaffected (K
m PAPS: 19 · 10-6 M in the homologous, and 21 · 10-6 M in the heterologous system). From the kinetic data it is concluded that the enzyme followed an ordered mechanism with thioredoxin as first substrate followed by PAPS as the second. Parallel lines in the reciprocal and a common intersect in the Hanes-plots for thioredoxin were seen as indication of a ping-pong (with respect to thioredoxin) uni-bi (with respect to PAPS) mechanism.Abbreviations APS

Membranes were isolated from mitochondria and chromaffin granules of bovine adrenal medullae. The cross-contamination between the two membranes was examined by comparing the radioactive bands on autoradiograms of gels after phosphorylation of the membranes with [-32P]-ATP and decoration with [125I]concanavalin A and [125I]protein A with antibody that was raised against chromaffin-granule membranes. It was found that the membranes cross-contaminated each other by less than 10%. The technique of immunodecoration with antibodies against subunits of proton-ATPases from yeast mitochondria, spinach chloroplasts, andE. coli membranes was used for quantitative estimation of proton-ATPase complexes in chromaffin granules and mitochondrial membranes. It was found that chromaffin-granule membranes contain less than 10% of the amount of proton-ATPase complex in mitochondrial membranes. The specific ATPase activity of chromaffin-granule membranes was on the order of 30 to 50% of the mitochondrial membranes. The ATPase activity of the chromaffin-granule membranes was more sensitive to 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyano-2,2-disulfonic acid stilbene and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. It was much less sensitive than the mitochondrial membranes to antibody against subunit of proton-ATPase fromE. coli membranes. After solubilization of chromaffin-granule membranes by octyglucoside and cholate and subsequent centrifugation on sucrose gradient, two different ATPase enzymes were separated. The heavier enzyme was identical to the mitochondrial-ATPase complex, while the lighter enzyme was identified as a novel ATPase, which might be responsible for the special properties of the ATPase activity of chromaffin-granule membranes.Abbreviations DCCD

ArelA+ strain ofE. coli with four amino acid requirements was starved separately for each amino acid, after which the levels of polysomes, guanosine-5-diphosphate-3-diphosphate and the residual net synthesis of RNA were determined. The polysome level and guanosine-5-diphosphate-3-diphosphate production were coordinately affected by starvation for the different amino acids, whereas no correlation was found between these two parameters and residual RNA synthesis. The main conclusion stemming from these results is that guanosine-5-diphosphate-3-diphosphate cannot act as the sole effector molecule in stringent control of RNA synthesis. 相似文献

Summary Short oligocytidylates can act as templates for the self-condensation of guanosine 5-phosphorimidazolide. In the absence of a catalytic metal ion or in the presence of Pb2+ a noticeable template effect is already observed with the dimer and the yield of long oligomers reaches a plateau with a hexamer template. Short templates give oligomers longers than the template length. The products are predominantly 2-5 linked for the Pb2+-catalyzed reaction while mixed linkages are observed in the uncatalyzed reaction.In the presence of Zn2+, a template effect is first observed with the pentamer and is maximal by the heptamer. The products are predominantly 3-5 linked. Oligomers shorter than or as long as the template are obtained in substantial yield, and longer products in much lower yields.Abbreviations G
