An NAD+-linked 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from a fungus, Cylindrocarpon radicicola ATCC 11011 by ion exchange, gel filtration, and hydrophobic chromatographies. The purified preparation of the dehydrogenase showed an apparent molecular weight of 58,600 by gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. SDS-gel electrophoresis gave Mr = 26,000 for the identical subunits of the protein. The amino-terminal residue of the enzyme protein was determined to be glycine. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of 17 beta-hydroxysteroids to the ketosteroids with the reduction of NAD+, which was a specific hydrogen acceptor, and also catalyzed the reduction of 17-ketosteroids with the consumption of NADH. The optimum pH of the dehydrogenase reaction was 10 and that of the reductase reaction was 7.0. The enzyme had a high specific activity for the oxidation of testosterone (Vmax = 85 mumol/min/mg; Km for the steroid = 9.5 microM; Km for NAD+ = 198 microM at pH 10.0) and for the reduction of androstenedione (Vmax = 1.8 mumol/min/mg; Km for the steroid = 24 microM; Km for NADH = 6.8 microM at pH 7.0). In the purified enzyme preparation, no activity of 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, delta 5-3-ketosteroid-4,5-isomerase, or steroid ring A-delta-dehydrogenase was detected. Among several steroids tested, only 17 beta-hydroxysteroids such as testosterone, estradiol-17 beta, and 11 beta-hydroxytestosterone, were oxidized, indicating that the enzyme has a high specificity for the substrate steroid. The stereospecificity of hydrogen transfer by the enzyme in dehydrogenation was examined with [17 alpha-3H]testosterone. 相似文献

A beta-glucosidase from Phoma sp. KCTC11825BP isolated from rotten mandarin peel was purified 8.5-fold with a specific activity of 84.5 U/mg protein. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 440 kDa with a subunit of 110 kDa. The partial amino acid sequence of the purified beta-glucosidase evidenced high homology with the fungal beta- glucosidases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3. Its optimal activity was detected at pH 4.5 and 60 degrees C, and the enzyme had a half-life of 53 h at 60 degrees C. The Km values for p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside and cellobiose were 0.3 mM and 3.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by both glucose (Ki=1.7 mM) and glucono-delta-lactone (Ki=0.1 mM) when pNPG was used as the substrate. Its activity was inhibited by 41% by 10 mM Cu2+ and stimulated by 20% by 10 mM Mg2+. 相似文献

Carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenase was purified, both aerobically and anaerobically, to apparent homogeneity from Methanothrix soehngenii. The enzyme contained 18 +/- 2 (n = 6) mol Fe/mol and 2.0 +/- 0.1 (n = 6) mol Ni/mol. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the aerobically purified CO dehydrogenase showed one sharp EPR signal at g = 2.014 with several characteristics of a [3Fe-4S]1+ cluster. The integrated intensity of this signal was low, 0.03 S = 1/2 spin/alpha beta dimer. The 3Fe spectrum was not affected by incubation with CO or acetyl-coenzyme A, but could be reduced by dithionite. The spectrum of the reduced, aerobically purified enzyme showed complex EPR spectra, which had several properties typical of two [4Fe-4S]1+ clusters, whose S = 1/2 spins weakly interacted by dipolar coupling. The integrated intensity was 0.1-0.2 spin/alpha beta dimer. The anaerobically isolated enzyme showed EPR spectra different from the reduced aerobically purified enzyme. Two major signals were apparent. One with g values of 2.05, 1.93 and 1.865, and an Em7.5 of -410 mV, which quantified to 0.9 S = 1/2 spin/alpha beta dimer. The other signal with g values of 1.997, 1.886 and 1.725, and an Em7.5 of -230 mV gave 0.1 spin/alpha beta dimer. When the enzyme was incubated with its physiological substrate acetyl-coenzyme A, these two major signals disappeared. Incubation of the enzyme under CO atmosphere resulted in a partial disappearance of the spectral component with g = 1.997, 1.886, 1.725. Acetyl-coenzyme A/CO exchange activity, 35 nmol.min-1.mg-1 protein, which corresponded to 7 mol CO exchanged min-1 mol-1 enzyme, could be detected in anaerobic enzyme preparations, but was absent in aerobic preparations. Carbon dioxide also exchanged with C-1 of acetyl-coenzyme A, but at a much lower rate than CO and to a much lower extent. 相似文献

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from wheat endosperm. Purification and characterization of an enzyme with novel regulatory properties 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase; EC 2.7.7.27) was purified and characterized from two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) tissues: leaf and endosperm. The leaf enzyme, purified over 1,300-fold, was found to be a heterotetramer composed of subunits of 51 and 54 kDa and possessing regulatory properties typical of AGPases from photosynthetic tissues, being mainly regulated by 3-phosphoglycerate (activator; A0.5=0.01 mM) and orthophosphate (inhibitor; I0.5=0.2 mM). Conversely, the enzyme from wheat endosperm was insensitive to activation by 3-phosphoglycerate and other metabolites. It was, however, inhibited by orthophosphate (I0.5=0.7 mM), ADP (I0.5=3.2 mM) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (0.5 = 1.5 mM). All of these inhibitory actions were reversed by 3-phosphoglycerate and fructose-6-phosphate. The endosperm enzyme was found to be a heterotetramer composed of subunits of 52 and 53 kDa, which were recognized by antiserum raised to spinach leaf AGPase. The results suggest that wheat endosperm AGPase possesses distinctive regulatory properties that are relevant in vivo. 相似文献

1. Two new assay methods were developed for the lens proteinase. In both, the substrate was alpha2-crystallin (a major lens protein); in the first method, the products were detected by reaction with trinitrobenzenesulphonate in the presence of SO32-, whereas in the second method, 3H-labelled substrate was used, and the products were detected as radioactivity soluble in trichloroacetic acid. 2. The neutral proteinase from bovine lens was partially purified by extraction of the lens at pH5.0 and column chromatography on hydroxyapatite and Sepharose 6B gel. 3. The purified enzyme had no detectable activity against haemoglobin, azo-casein or gamma-crystallin under optimum conditions for alpha2-crystallin. 4. The enzyme showed greatest activity and stability at pH7.5. It was reversibly inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, and activated by Ca2+ and Mg2+. 5. Molecular weights obtained for the enzyme by chromatography on Sepharose 6B were approx. 500,000 in buffer of I = 0.02, and 250,000 at I = 1.02. 6. The properties of the purified lens proteinase are such as to suggest that this enzyme could account for the entire endopeptidase activity of the lens. 相似文献

The sea urchin hatching enzyme provides an interesting model for the control of gene expression during early development. In order to study its properties and developmental regulation, the hatching enzyme of the species Paracentrotus lividus has been purified. The fertilization envelopes of the embryos were digested before hatching by a crude culture supernatant previously made. The enzyme was then solubilized by 1 M NaCl and 0.5% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate and purified by hydrophobic chromatography on Procion-agarose. A 470-fold increase in specific activity was obtained. The kinetic parameters of the proteolytic activity using dimethylcasein as substrate are: Km = 120 micrograms x ml-1, Vm = 200 mumol x min-1 x mg-1, and kcat = 180 s-1 at 500 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0, at 35 degrees C. The purified enzyme is highly active on fertilization envelopes: at 20 degrees C and 500 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0, 100 ng of enzyme completely denudes embryos in about 20 min under standard conditions. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated as 57 kDa by gel filtration, 51 kDa by gel electrophoresis, and 52 kDa by amino acid analysis. The hatching enzyme was shown to be a glycoprotein which autolyzes to a 30-kDa inactive form. Antibodies raised against the 51- or 30-kDa forms reacted with both these forms. Immunoblotting experiments showed that the hatching supernatants contain important amounts of the autolyzed species. 相似文献

Bilophila wadsworthia RZATAU is a Gram-negative bacterium which converts the sulfonate taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate) to ammonia, acetate and sulfide in an anaerobic respiration. Taurine:pyruvate aminotransferase (Tpa) catalyses the initial metabolic reaction yielding alanine and sulfoacetaldehyde. We purified Tpa 72-fold to apparent homogeneity with an overall yield of 89%. The purified enzyme did not require addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, but highly active enzyme was only obtained by addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to all buffers during purification. SDS/PAGE revealed a single protein band with a molecular mass of 51 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the native enzyme was 197 kDa as determined by gel filtration, which indicates a homotetrameric structure. The kinetic constants for taurine were: Km = 7.1 mM, Vmax = 1.20 nmol.s-1, and for pyruvate: Km = 0.82 mM, Vmax = 0.17 nmol.s-1. The purified enzyme was able to transaminate hypotaurine (2-aminosulfinate), taurine, beta-alanine and with low activity cysteine and 3-aminopropanesulfonate. In addition to pyruvate, 2-ketobutyrate and oxaloacetate were utilized as amino group acceptors. We have sequenced the encoding gene (tpa). It encoded a 50-kDa peptide, which revealed 33% identity to diaminopelargonate aminotransferase from Bacillus subtilis. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of an oxygen-stable carbon monoxide dehydrogenase of Methanothrix soehngenii 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase was purified to apparent homogeneity from Methanothrix soehngenii. In contrast with the carbon monoxide dehydrogenases from most other anaerobic bacteria, the purified enzyme of Methanothrix soehngenii was remarkably stable towards oxygen and it was only slightly inhibited by cyanide. The native molecular mass of the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase of Methanothrix soehngenii determined by gel filtration was 190 kDa. The enzyme is composed of subunits with molecular mass of 79.4 kDa and 19.4 kDa in an alpha 2 beta 2 oligomeric structure. The enzyme contains 1.9 +/- 0.2 (n = 3) mol Ni/mol and 19 +/- 3 (n = 3) mol Fe/mol and it constitutes 4% of the soluble cell protein. Analysis of enzyme kinetic properties revealed a Km of 0.7 mM for CO and of 65 microM for methyl viologen. At the optimum pH of 9.0 the Vmax was 140 mumol of CO oxidized min-1 mg protein-1. The enzyme showed a high degree of thermostability. 相似文献

The enzyme 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine: acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.67) was purified from rat spleen approx. 1500-fold in 1.6% yield. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 0.317 +/- 0.089 mumol/min per mg of protein (mean +/- S.D., n = 6). The Km for the substrate acetyl-CoA was 137 +/- 13 microM and the pH optimum was about 8. Incubation of the purified enzyme was 1-O-[3H]octadecyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine followed by electrophoresis resulted in the incorporation of radioactivity into a protein of Mr 29,000. The enzyme was most active towards 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as substrate, 1-palmitoyl-2-lyso-glycero-3-phosphocholine being a poor substrate. In addition, the enzyme preferred acetyl-CoA to palmitoyl-CoA or oleoyl-CoA as substrate. 相似文献

Isolation and molecular kinetic properties of the angiotensin-converting enzyme from the human heart
An angiotensin-converting enzyme was isolated from human heart using N[-1(S)-carboxy-5-aminopentyl]glycyl-glycine as an affinity adsorbent. The isolation procedure resulted in an enzyme purified 1650-fold. The enzyme specific activity was 38.0 u./mg protein, Mr = 150 kD. The pH optimum for the angiotensin-converting enzyme towards Hip-His-Leu lies at 7.8, Km = 1.2 mM. The enzyme was inhibited by the substrate (Ks' = 14 mM). The enzyme effectively catalyzed the hydrolysis of angiotensin I (Km = 10 microM; kcat = 250 s-1). NaCl, CaCl2 as well as Na2SO4 in the absence of Cl- activated the enzyme, whereas CH3COONa and NaNO3 did not influence the enzyme activity. It was found that the bradykinin-potentiating factor inhibited the cardiac angiotensin-converting enzyme with IC50 = 4.0 X 10(-8) M. 相似文献

An acid phosphomonoesterase was purified 87-fold with a 4% recovery from disintegrated cells of Candida albicans by four stages of column chromatography. The purified enzyme was homogeneous by ultracentrifugal, electrophoretic, and immunological analyses. The fully corrected sedimentation coefficient, s(20,w), was calculated to be 5.51s. Molecular weight estimated from ultracentrifugal data was 124.3 x 10(3), from gel chromatography was 115 x 10(3), and from acrylamide gel electrophoretic data was 131 x 10(3). Buoyant density in sucrose was 1.15 g/cm(3). The enzyme was a mannoprotein with a hexose to protein ratio of 7: 1. The Michaelis constant of the enzyme was 3.3 x 10(-4) M for p-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate, and the pH optimum was 4.5. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by inorganic phosphate (K(i) = 10(-4) M) and by arsenate (K(i) = 0.5 x 10(-4) M). A wide range of inorganic cations and anions did not affect enzyme activity, but Hg(2+), Cd(2+), and Cu(2+) were inhibitory. F(-) was also inhibitory at low concentrations, but the effect was reversed at higher concentrations. Phosphatase activity was completely destroyed by exposure of the enzyme to 70 C for 12 min, but was destroyed only slowly by proteolytic hydrolysis. The purified glycoprotein enzyme gave a line of identity with the "b" antigen of crude C. albicans homogenates in immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis tests with sera from rabbits inoculated with intact C. albicans cells and from humans with proven candidiasis. Preliminary evidence suggests that the mannan and not the protein portion of the enzyme molecule is responsible for this antigenicity. 相似文献

Partially purified preparations of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from toluene-grown cells of Pseudomonas putida catalyzed the stoichiometric oxidation of 3-methylcatechol to 2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate. Other substrates oxidized by the enzyme preparation were catechol, 4-methylcatechol, and 4-fluorocatechol. The apparent Michaelis constants for 3-methylcatechol and catechol were 10.6 and 22.0 muM, respectively. Substitution at the 4-position decreases the affinity and activity of the enzyme for the substrate. Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase preparations did not oxidize 3-chlorocatechol. In addition, incubation of the enzyme with 3-chlorocatechol led to inactivation of the enzyme. Kinetic analyses revealed that both 3-chlorocatechol and 4-chlorocatechol were noncompetitive or mixed-type inhibitors of the enzyme. 3-Chlorocatechol (Ki = 0.14 muM) was a more potent inhibitor than 4-chlorocatechol (Ki = 50 muM). The effect of the ion-chelating agents Tiron and o-phenanthrolene were compared with that of 3-chlorocatechol on the inactivation of the enzyme. Each inhibitor appeared to remove iron from the enzyme, since inactive enzyme preparations could be fully reactivated by treatment with ferrous iron and a reducing agent. 相似文献

Production,Purification and Crystallization of 3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas putida
Takayuki Uwajima Kenichiro Takayama Osamu Terada 《Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry》2013,77(8):1577-1583
The ability of formation of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was studied in bacteria and actinomycetes. The enzyme activity was found in several bacteria belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Corynebacterium, when they were grown on cholic acid as a sole source of carbon. Of these bacteria, Pseudomonas putida NRRL B–11064 isolated from soil, showed the highest activity of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. The enzyme was purified from the cell-free extract by procedure including fractionation with ammonium sulfate and column chromatographies on DEAE-celluIose, Sephadex G–100 and hydroxylapatite. Crystals of the enzyme were obtained by the addition of ammonium sulfate to the purified enzyme in the presence of glycerol or polyethylene glycol. The overall purification was about 550-fold with an yield of 18.5%. The crystalline enzyme was homogeneous on polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation (s20,w=3.2). 相似文献

A microbial biodegradation of monocrotophos was studied in the present investigation. The monocrotophos-degrading enzyme was purified and characterized from two soil bacterial strains. The cells were disrupted and the membrane-bound fractions were studied for purification and characterization. Solubilization of the membrane-bound fractions released nearly 80% of the bound protein. Phase separation further enriched the enzyme fraction 34-41 times. The enzyme phosphotriesterase (PTE) from both the strains was purified to more than 1000-fold with 13%-16% yield. Purified PTE from Clavibacter michiganense subsp. insidiosum SBL11 is a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 43.5 kDa (pI of 7.5), while PTE from Pseudomonas aeruginosa F10B is a heterodimeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 43 and 41 kDa (pI of 7.9 and 7.35). Both purified enzymes are stable enzymes with peak activity at pH 9.0. The enzyme from strain F10B was more thermostable (half-life=7.3 h) than that from SBL11 (half-life=6.4 h at 50 degrees C), while both showed the same temperature optimum of 37 degrees C. Inhibitors like dithiothreitol and EDTA inhibited the purified enzyme, while p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and indoleacetic acid had a very little effect. 相似文献

1. A rapid isolation procedure with a high yield for pure myeloperoxidase (donor:H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) from normal human leucocytes is described. The enzyme was solubilized from leucocytes with the detergent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and purified to apparent homogeneity. The yield of the enzyme was 17% with an absorbance ratio A430nm/A280nm = 0.85. 2. The purified enzyme showed three isoenzyme bands after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; ultracentrifuge studies indicated one homogeneous band with a molecular weight of 144 000. After reduction of myeloperoxidase, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis resolved an intense band (63 000 daltons) and a weak band (81 000 daltons). 3. The carbohydrate content of the enzyme was at least 2.5%. Mannose, glucose and N-acetylglucosamine were present. The amino acid composition is reported. 4. The EPR spectrum exhibited a high-spin heme signal with rhombic symmetry (gx = 6.92, gy = 5.07 and gz = 1.95). Upon acidification this signal was converted into a signal with more axial symmetry (g perpendicular = 5.89). At high pH (9.5) the EPR spectrum of the enzyme only shows low-spin ferric heme resonances. The circular dichroism spectra of ferric and ferrous myeloperoxidase in the visible and ultraviolet region show maxima and minima in ellipticity. 相似文献

An enzyme which catalyzes the transamination of 4-aminobutyrate with 2-oxoglutarate was purified 588-fold to homogeneity from Candida guilliermondii var. membranaefaciens, grown with 4-aminobutyrate as sole source of nitrogen. An apparent relative molecular mass of 107,000 was estimated by gel filtration. The enzyme was found to be a dimer made up of two subunits identical in molecular mass (Mr 55,000). The enzyme has a maximum activity in the pH range 7.8-8.0 and a temperature optimum of 45 degrees C. 2-Oxoglutarate protects the enzyme from heat inactivation better than pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibits two maxima at 412 nm and 330 nm. The purified enzyme catalyzes the transamination of omega-amino acids; 4-aminobutyrate is the best amino donor and low activity is observed with beta-alanine. The Michaelis constants are 1.5 mM for 2-oxoglutarate and 2.3 mM for 4-aminobutyrate. Several amino acids, such as alpha,beta-alanine and 2-aminobutyrate, are inhibitors (Ki = 38.7 mM, Ki = 35.5 mM and Ki = 33.2 mM respectively). Propionic and butyric acids are also inhibitors (Ki = 3 mM and Ki = 2 mM). 相似文献

The enzyme methylamine dehydrogenase or primary-amine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating) (EC 1.4.99.3) was purified from the bacterium Thiobacillus versutus to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native enzyme has a Mr of 123 500 and contains four subunits arranged in a alpha 2 beta 2 configuration, the light and heavy subunits having a Mr of 12900 and 47500 respectively. The isoelectric point is 3.9. The purified enzyme was crystallized from 37--42% saturated ammonium sulphate in 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0. The space group is P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with one alpha 2 beta 2 molecule in the asymmetric unit. The cell dimensions are: a = b = 13.01 nm; c = 10.40 nm. The X-ray diffraction pattern extends to at least 0.25-nm resolution. 相似文献

Membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase purified from bovine lung 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
We found carbonic anhydrase activity associated with particulate fractions of homogenates of rat, rabbit, human, and bovine lungs. These membrane-associated carbonic anhydrases were remarkably stable in solutions containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The bovine enzyme was dissolved with SDS and purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The purified enzyme contains glucosamine, galactose, and sialic acid; it is at least 20% carbohydrate. The apparent molecular weight by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (52,000) may be higher than the actual molecular weight due to the presence of carbohydrate. The enzyme contains cystine, an amino acid that is absent in bovine erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase. Dithiothreitol greatly accelerated the rate of inactivation of the membrane-associated enzyme in SDS, so disulfide bonds appear to stabilize this enzyme. The specific CO2-hydrating activity was about half that of the erythrocyte enzyme. Acetazolamide inhibits the membrane-associated enzyme (Ki = 10 nM) nearly as well as the erythrocyte enzyme (Ki = 3 nM). Antibody to bovine erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase did not inhibit the membrane-associated enzyme. Other investigators have accumulated a good deal of evidence for carbonic anhydrase on the luminal surface of pulmonary capillaries. The enzyme described here appears to be a new isozyme whose properties are consistent with such a localization. 相似文献

Uridine phosphorylase (UPH) from Escherichia coli K-12 has been purified to near homogeneity from a strain harbouring the udp gene, encoding UPH, on a multicopy plasmid. UPH was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with the specific activity 230 units/mg with a recovery of 80%, yielding 120 mg of enzyme from 3g cells. Crystals of enzyme suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained in a preparative ultracentrifuge. The packing of the molecules in the crystals may be described by the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with the unit cell constants a = 90.4; b = 128.8; c = 136.8 A. There is one molecule per asymmetric unit, Vm = 2.4. These crystals diffract to at least 2.5-2.7 A resolution. The hexameric structure of UPH was directly demonstrated by electron microscopy study and image processing. 相似文献

Purification and partial characterization of dimeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenase from monkey kidney 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase activity was detected in the cytosol of several monkey tissues, among which kidney exhibited the highest activity and contained a high-molecular weight (Mr approximately 65,000) enzyme species. The enzyme species was purified to apparent homogeneity and showed a subunit molecular weight of 39,000. The enzyme oxidized benzene dihydrodiol (Km = 0.9 mM) at a pH optimum of 9.8, and highly reduced vicinal diketones such as camphorquinone (Km = 0.1 mM) and diacetyl (Km = 0.8 mM) around pH 7.5, but alicyclic alcohols, hydroxysteroids and ketosteroids were inactive substrates for this enzyme. Quercitrin, SH-reagents, stilbestrol were inhibitory to the enzyme activity, but other synthetic estrogens, anti-inflammatory agents and 3-ketosteroids were not. 相似文献
