The function and the structural features of Chromatium vinosum cytochrome c-552 have been investigated. Cytochrome c-552 has a sulfide-cytochrome c reductase activity and also catalyzes the reduction of elementary sulfur to sulfide with reduced benzylviologen as the electron donor. In the sulfide-cytochrome reduction, horse and yeast cytochromes c act as good electron acceptors, but cytochrome c' or cytochrome c-553(550) purified from the organism does not. The subunit structure of cytochrome c-552 has been studied. The cytochrome is split by 6 M urea into cytochrome and flavoprotein moieties with molecular weights of 21,000 and 46,000, respectively. The flavoprotein moiety is obtained by isoelectric focusing in the presence of 6 M urea and 0.1% beta-mercaptoethanol, while the hemoprotein moiety is obtained by gel filtration with Sephacryl S-200 in the presence of 6 M urea and 0.1 M KCl. Neither subunit has sulfide-cytochrome c reductase activity. Attempts to reconstitute the original flavocytochrome c from the subunits have been unsuccessful. 相似文献

Plastocyanin and cytochrome c-553 are two functionally equivalent electron carriers in the photosynthetic chain of cyanobacteria. Microcystis aeruginosa, a unicellular cyanobacterium which grows well at a high pH (8.6) and which was not known to possess plastocyanin, has been studied for its ability to synthesize plastocyanin in culture media with and without Cu. In the absence of Cu, an acidic cytochrome c-553 alone was isolated. With the inclusion of 2 microM Cu, cytochrome c-553 synthesis was partially suppressed and an acidic plastocyanin was isolated. A newly developed procedure, using high concentrations of ammonium sulfate to fractionate water-soluble proteins on Sephacryl S-200 was successfully used to isolate and concentrate the plastocyanin, thus allowing it to be further purified to homogeneity. This protein has an isoelectric point of 4.8 which is similar to the pI value reported for other acidic plastocyanins from higher plants and green algae. Its N-terminal sequence of the first 15 amino acids has been determined; 9 of these amino acids are identical to those in the sequence of the basic plastocyanin from Anabaena variabilis. 相似文献

An endo-beta-xylosidase acting on the linkage region of peptidochondroitin sulfate was isolated from the mid-gut gland of the mollusc Patnopecten and purified about 375-fold, using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200, and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. The pH optimum and the isoelectric point of this enzyme were 4.0 and 7.0, respectively. The molecular weight, estimated by gel filtration through Sephacryl S-200, was 78,000. The purified enzyme was completely free from protease, exoglycosidases, sulfatase, and phosphatase. This enzyme hydrolyzed the xylosyl serine linkage of the linkage region of various glycosaminoglycans, that is chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, all possessing a very small peptide segment, but not proteoglycans. It was concluded that this endo-beta-xylosidase was involved in the catabolism of proteoglycans. 相似文献

A single protein band of molecular weight 110 000 has been obtained after sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,25-(OH)2D-3) receptor from crude nuclear extracts of chick intestinal mucosa, prepared in the presence of the protease inhibitors phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and ?-aminocaproic acid. The nuclear extract was subjected to a six-step purification scheme, involving polymin P and ammonium sulfate fractionation, DNA-cellulose affinity chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, blue dextran-Sepharose and a final DNA-cellulose chromatographic step. The receptor was obtained in about 1% yield and was purified approx. 3700-fold from the nuclear extract, as assessed by specific activity. Single peaks were observed with 3H-1,25-(OH)2D-3-labeled crude nuclear extracts on Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration () and sucrose density gradient centrifugation (3.5 S). Although the identity of the Mr 110 000 protein will remain inconclusive until methods for further characterization are available, it may represent evidence for a higher molecular weight form of the 1,25-(OH)2D-3 receptor than that observed previously. 相似文献

Electron transfer from periplasmic cytochromes c to the membrane-bound respiratory chain has been studied with the isolated cytochromes and membrane preparations from Paracoccus denitrificans. When reduced cytochromes were incubated with spheroplasts only the constitutive cytochrome c-550 was rapidly oxidized. The inducible cytochromes c-551i and c-553i were not oxidized at appreciable rates. Cytochrome c-550 was able to mediate the transfer of electrons from either cytochrome c-551i or cytochrome c-553i to the membrane preparation. 相似文献

Purification and properties of pig liver kynureninase. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kynureninase [L-kynurenine hydrolase, EC 3.7.1.3] was purified from pig liver by a procedure including DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Bio Gel chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, kynurenine-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The enzyme was found to be homogeneous by the criterion of disc-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 100,000 and exhibits absorption maxima at 280 and 420 nm. The optimum pH and the isoelectric point of the enzyme are 8.5 and 5.0, respectively. The Michaelis constants were determined to be as follows: L-kynurenine, 7.7 X 10(-4) M; L-3-hydroxykynurenine, 1.3 X 10(-5) M; and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, 1.8 X 10(-6) M. L-3-Hydroxykynurenine is hydrolyzed more rapidly than L-kynurenine; the liver enzyme can be regarded as a 3-hydroxy-kynureninase. 相似文献

The low-potential cytochrome c550 has been purified from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and its amino acid sequence has been determined. The protein contains 135 amino acid residues with the Cys-X-X-Cys-His heme binding site at residues 37 to 41. The sequence from residue 28 to 45 shows similarity to cytochrome c553 residues 1 to 18 when the heme binding sites are aligned. Another region of similarity is in the carboxyl-terminal regions of these two proteins. The two aligning regions of cytochrome c553 correspond to helical segments in other related cytochromes. A partial sequence of cytochrome c550 from Aphanizomenon flos-aquae was obtained and showed a 48% identity to the sequence of the M. aeruginosa cytochrome. The single methionine residue in cytochrome c550 of M. aeruginosa occurs at position 119 but there is no methionine in this region in the A. flos-aquae cytochrome, indicating that methionine is not the sixth ligand to the heme iron atom. Histidine 92 is a possible sixth ligand in M. aeruginosa cytochrome c550. The far-uv circular dichroism spectrum indicates that this protein is approximately 17% alpha helix, 42% beta-pleated sheet, and 41% random coil. 相似文献

3-Ketovalidoxylamine A C-N lyase was purified about 900-fold from the cell-free extract of Flavobacterium saccharophilum by ammonium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on CM cellulose and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 36,000 by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that the enzyme is a monomer. The optimum pH was found at 9.0. The enzyme activity was inhibited by EDTA or ethyleneglycol bis(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid and the inhibition was reversed by Ca2+ ion. The enzyme was able to eliminate p-nitroaniline or p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl-3-ketovalidamine (IV) or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-3-ketoglucoside (VI), but not from p-nitrophenyl-1-epi-3-ketovalidamine or p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-3-ketoglucoside. Apparent Km values for IV and VI were 0.24 mM and 0.5 mM, respectively. 相似文献

A rapid three-step procedure utilizing heat treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and affinity chromatography on Matrex gel Orange A purified fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) 632-fold with an 18% yield from crude extracts of Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris. The apparent molecular weight of the native enzyme was 120,000 as determined by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. The preparation was over 95% pure, and the subunit molecular weight was 60,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that the enzyme is a dimer composed of two identical subunits. The pH optimum for E. gracilis fumarase was 8.4. The Km values for malate and fumarate were 1.4 and 0.031 mM, respectively. Preparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to further purify the enzyme for antibody production. On Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion gels, the antifumarase serum gave a sharp precipitin line against total E. gracilis protein and purified E. gracilis fumarase. It did not cross-react with purified pig heart fumarase. On immunoblots of purified E. gracilis fumarase and crude cell extracts of E. gracilis, the antibody recognized a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000, indicating that the antibody is monospecific. This polypeptide was found in E. gracilis mitochondria. The antibody cross-reacted with an Escherichia coli protein whose molecular weight was approximately 60,000, the reported molecular weight of the fumA gene product of E. coli, but it failed to cross-react with proteins found in crude mouse cell extracts, Bacillus subtilis extracts, or purified pig heart fumarase. 相似文献

Cytochrome c553 is an electron donor to P700 in the photosynthetic electron transfer chain of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. We have purified this cytochrome from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and determined its amino acid sequence. When the amino acid sequence of this protein is compared to sequences of cytochromes c553 from other organisms, one sees that the evolution of net charge is more pronounced than the evolution of overall structure, further documenting a pronounced shift in the isoelectric point of this protein during the evolution of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria and algae also contain cytochrome c550 (Mr 15,500) which is quite different from cytochrome c553 (Mr 10,500). When the amino acid sequence of cytochrome c553 is compared to that of cytochrome c550, two regions of similar sequence are recognized. 相似文献

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) from sunflower hypocotyls has been partially purified by selective precipitation with ammonium sulfate and molecular gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. Kinetic assays carried out with this partially purified PAL preparation revealed that the enzyme did not show a homogeneous kinetic behaviour. The observed kinetic pattern and parameters (Km and Vmax) depended on the assay conditions used and the protein concentration added to the assay mixture. PAL displayed Michaelian or negative cooperativity kinetics. Such behaviour can be explained by the existence of an association-dissociation process of PAL-protein subunits. The presence of mono-, tri- and tetrameric forms of PAL has been assessed by molecular gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200, using different elution conditions. 相似文献

Nucleoside oxidase, a novel nucleoside oxidizing enzyme has been purified from a crude extract of Pseudomonas maltophilia LB-86 by a ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat treatment, column chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl, and gel filtration twice on Sephacryl S-200. The overall purification was approximately 60-fold with a yield of 35 %. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band on acrylamide gel electrophoresis.Reaction products from inosine were identified as inosine-5′-aldehyde and inosine-5′-carboxylic acid. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of inosine to inosine-5′-carboxylic acid via inosine-5′-aldehyde using molecular oxygen as a primary electron acceptor with no formation of hydrogen peroxide. 相似文献

By detergent-exchange chromatography using a phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B column, Complex III of the respiratory chain of beef heart mitochondria was efficiently resolved into five fractions that were rich in the iron-sulfur protein, ubiquinone-binding protein, core proteins, cytochrome c1, and cytochrome b, respectively. Complex III was initially bound to the phenyl-Sepharose column equilibrated with buffer containing 0.25% deoxycholate and 0.2 M NaCl. An iron-sulfur protein fraction was first eluted from the column with buffer containing 1% deoxycholate and no salt after removal of phospholipids from the complex by washing with the buffer for the column equilibration, as reported previously (Y. Shimomura, M. Nishikimi, and T. Ozawa, 1984, J. Biol. Chem. 259, 14059-14063). Subsequently, a fraction containing the ubiquinone-binding protein and another containing two core proteins were eluted with buffers containing 1.5 and 3 M guanidine, respectively. A fraction containing cytochrome c1 was then eluted with buffer containing 1% dodecyl octaethylene glycol monoether. Finally, a cytochrome b-rich fraction was eluted with buffer containing 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The fractions of the iron-sulfur protein and ubiquinone-binding protein were further purified by gel chromatography on a Sephacryl S-200 superfine column, and the cytochrome c1 fraction was further purified by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column; each of the three purified proteins was homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

Affinity chromatography on immobilized hyaluronate and its application to the isolation of hyaluronate binding properties from cartilage. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Partially degraded hyaluronate was coupled to AH-Sepharose 4B using carbodiimide. Approximately 1 mg of hyaluronate was incorporated per ml of wet gel. The derivatized gel was used to purify components of the hyaluronate-proteoglycan complex of cartilage. Two link-proteins were isolated from a crude cartilage extract by affinity binding to the gel and eluted with 4 M guanidinium chloride. By the same procedure one link-protein and the globular portion of the proteoglycan monomer were isolated from a trypsin-treated cartilage extract and were separated from each other by subsequent gel chromatography on Sepharose 6B and Sephacryl S-200. The affinity technique was also used for the preparation of these proteins labelled with dansyl groups. 相似文献

Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase [EC 1.7.3.4] of Nitrosomonas europaea was purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state and some of its properties were studied. The molecular weight of the enzyme as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G150 and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate is 175,000-180,000, while the minimum molecular weight per heme determined from the dry weight and heme content is 17,500. The enzyme is a C-type cytochrome; its reduced form shows absorption peaks at 418 (gamma peak), 521 (beta peak), 553 (alpha peak), and 460 nm (due to an unidentified chromophore). Although the alpha peak at 553 nm has a shoulder at 559 nm, the enzyme does not posses protoheme or a cytochrome b subunit. It seems likely that the enzyme molecule possess heme c molecules in different states. The enzyme reacts rapidly with various eukaryotic cytochromes c, but does not react with "bacterial-type" cytochromes c. Although the enzyme does not react with cytochrome c-552 (N. europaea), another C-type cytochrome of the organism, cytochrome c-554 (N. europaea) acts as an electron acceptor for the enzyme. 相似文献

This article reports the first X-ray structure of the soluble form of a c-type cytochrome isolated from a Gram-positive bacterium. Bacillus pasteurii cytochrome c(553), characterized by a low reduction potential and by a low sequence homology with cytochromes from Gram-negative bacteria or eukaryotes, is a useful case study for understanding the structure-function relationships for this class of electron-transfer proteins. Diffraction data on a single crystal of cytochrome c(553) were obtained using synchrotron radiation at 100 K. The structure was determined at 0.97-A resolution using ab initio phasing and independently at 1.70 A in an MAD experiment. In both experiments, the structure solution exploited the presence of a single Fe atom as anomalous scatterer in the protein. For the 0.97-A data, the phasing was based on a single data set. This is the most precise structure of a heme protein to date. The crystallized cytochrome c(553) contains only 71 of the 92 residues expected from the intact protein sequence, lacking the first 21 amino acids at the N-terminus. This feature is consistent with previous evidence that this tail, responsible for anchoring the protein to the cytoplasm membrane, is easily cleaved off during the purification procedure. The heme prosthetic group in B. pasteurii cytochrome c(553) is surrounded by three alpha-helices in a compact arrangement. The largely exposed c-type heme group features a His-Met axial coordination of the Fe(III) ion. The protein is characterized by a very asymmetric charge distribution, with the exposed heme edge located on a surface patch devoid of net charges. A structural search of a representative set of protein structures reveals that B. pasteurii cytochrome c(553) is most similar to Pseudomonas cytochromes c(551), followed by cytochromes c(6), Desulfovibrio cytochrome c(553), cytochromes c(552) from thermophiles, and cytochromes c from eukaryotes. Notwithstanding a low sequence homology, a structure-based alignment of these cytochromes shows conservation of three helical regions, with different additional secondary structure motifs characterizing each protein. In B. pasteurii cytochrome c(553), these motifs are represented by the shortest interhelix connecting fragments observed for this group of proteins. The possible relationships between heme solvent accessibility and the electrochemical reduction potential are discussed. 相似文献

Three c-type cytochromes were purified from the filamentous sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, Beggiatoa alba strain B18LD, by ammonium sulfate fractionation, flat bed isoelectric focusing and gel filtration. Two of the cytochromes; flavocytochrome c-554 and cytochrome c, were similar to cytochromes found in anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria. Flavocytochrome c-554 had an apparent molecular weight of 21,000, an isoelectric focusing point at pH 4.4, contained FMN as the flavin component and had absorption maxima at 410, 450 and 470 nm in the oxidized form and at 417, 523 and 554 nm in the dithionite-reduced from. Cytochrome c was also an acidic protein with a pI of 4.8 and an apparent molecular weight of 18,000. The absorption spectra maxima were at 400, 490 and 635 nm in the oxidized form, at 424 and 550 nm in the dithione-reduced form and at 415 and 555 nm in the dithionite-reduced plus CO form. The third cytochrome characterized, cytochrome c-553 had an apparent molecular weight of 13,000, an isoelectric point at pH 4.4 and showed absorption maxima at 411 nm in the oxidized form and at 418, 523 and 553 nm in the dithionite-reduced form. Cytochrome c-553 was also isolated as a complex with a non-heme protein with a molecular weight of 16,000. The non-heme protein altered the absorption spectra and isoelectric point of cytochrome c-553.Abbreviations IEF

An endo-beta-D-glucuronidase was isolated and characterized from Kobayasia nipponica. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, CM-Sephadex chromatography, gel filtration with Sephacryl S-200, and heparin-Sepharose chromatography. The enzyme shows the following properties: optimum pH 5.0, thermal stability below 37 degrees C, pH stability 5-6, optimum temperature 45-55 degrees C, and Km 0.12% for L-idurono-D-glucuronan (protuberic acid (PA), L-IdUA:D-GlcUA = 1:2) from Kobayasia nipponica, 0.19% for PF (L-IdUA:D-GlcUA = 1:3) from Pseudocolus fusiformis, and 0.23% for (1-4)-beta-D-glucuronan(mucoric acid) from Mucor mucedo as determined from Hofstee plots. The molecular weight values estimated by gel filtration through Sephacryl S-200 and Sephadex G-50 and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate were 10,500 and 10,200, respectively. The endo-beta-D-glucuronidase was inactive towards several glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

alpha-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was purified to homogeneity from logarithmically growing cells of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis. The purification involved the following steps: (a) ammonium sulfate fractionation; (b) Sephadex G-100 chromatography; (c) DEAE-cellulose chromatography; and (d) hydroxylapatite chromatography. This procedure gave a preparation judged to be greater than 98% pure by Na-DodSO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was shown to be a monomer of 63 000 daltons by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 under native conditions and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. The Km values of the enzyme for the substrates maltose and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucoside were found to be 1.66 X 10(-2) and 3.1 X 10(-4) M, respectively. The corresponding Vmax value for maltose was 44.8 X 10(-6) mol min(-1) mg(-1) and that for p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucoside was 134 X 10(-6) mol min-1 mg-1. The pH optimum for the purified enzyme was found to be between pH 6.7 and 6.8. The enzyme has an absolute anomeric specificity for alpha-glycosidic linkages and appears to recognize a glucosyl residue in alpha linkage on the nonreducing end of its substrate. For the strain used in this study, which carries the MAL 6 locus, only a single form of the enzyme was detected. 相似文献
