N-acyl-
-amino acid amidohydrolases can be classified into three types based on substrate specificity.
-aminoacylase has been reported to occur in a very few bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Streptomyces, and Alcaligenes. N-acyl-
-aspartate amidohydrolase (
-AAase) has been reported in only Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp. xylosoxydans A-6 (Alcaligenes A-6) while N-acyl-
-glutamate amidohydrolase (
-AGase) has been isolated in two stains of Pseudomonas sp. 5f-1 and Alcaligenes A-6. The physiological roles of these enzymes in these microbes are not clear. They are individually characteristic in their substrate specificities, inducer profiles, inhibitors, isoelectric points, metal dependency, and some physicochemical properties. The primary structures of all the three types of N-acyl-
-amino acid amidohydrolases from Alcaligenes A-6 were determined from their nucleotide sequences. Comparison of their primary structures revealed high homology (46–56%) between the different enzymes. The three enzymes showed 26–27% sequence homology with
-aminoacylases from Bacillus stearothermophilus, porcine, and human. Chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis identified the histidyl residues essential for catalysis. The Alcaligenes N-acyl-
-amino acid amidohydrolases share significant sequence similarities with some members of the urease-related amidohydrolase superfamily proposed by Holm and Sander [L. Holm, C. Sander, Proteins: Structure, Function and Genetics 28 (1997) 72]. 相似文献

The production of penicillin G and penicillin V amidohydrolases or acylases (E.C.3.5.1.11) was studied during the autolysis of filamentous fungi in a mineral medium, and in the same medium with phenoxyacetic acid as inducer. In all the studied fungi, enzymes showing penicillin G and penicillin V amidohydrolase activities were found. Generally, an increase of these activities during fungal autolysis was observed. The presence of phenoxyacetic acid in the medium did not increase these activities. The activities found in the culture fluids were generally higher than that found in the mycelial extracts. Under these conditions, beta-lactamases (penicillinases) were not found. The fungi Alternaria alternata, Fusarium culmorum, Penicillium oxalicum, and the species Penicillium 222 were chosen to study penicillin G and penicillin V acylases. The enzymes were precipitated with tannic acid from the culture fluid of their autolyzed cultures. Some kinetic constants of these activities were determined. 相似文献

A general molecular imprinting approach is proposed to synthesize artificial enzymes to mimic the family of cyclic amide amidohydrolases which share similar active site and catalytic mechanism. The artificial enzymes were constructed by co-polymerizing 4(5)-vinylimidazole-Co2+-methacrylic acid clusters with divinylbenzene micro-spheres in the presence of corresponding substrates. The artificial enzymes mimicked creatininase and hydantoinase by showing specific affinity towards the corresponding substrates in buffer. The artificial hydantoinase also showed specific affinity towards corresponding substrate in organic solvent, and catalyzed the hydrolysis of hydantoin. 相似文献

低温胁迫对两种圆柏属植物亚细胞抗氧化酶活性的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
以祁连圆柏和圆柏幼苗为材料,研究不同处理时间下低温胁迫对圆柏属植物叶片亚细胞抗氧化酶活性的影响,探讨其在圆柏属植物叶片中的亚细胞定位。结果表明:低温胁迫下,丙二醛(MDA)含量和抗氧化酶活性随时间变化均呈先升后降趋势,祁连圆柏中抗氧化酶的种类比圆柏的多且活性强,而 MDA 含量低于圆柏,表明祁连圆柏在低温胁迫下具有更广泛的适应性。此外,两种圆柏植物叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)定位为叶绿体>细胞溶质>线粒体,过氧化氢酶(CAT)定位为线粒体>叶绿体>细胞溶质,谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)定位为线粒体>细胞溶质>叶绿体,祁连圆柏过氧化物酶(POD)定位为细胞溶质>叶绿体>线粒体,圆柏POD定位为细胞溶质>线粒体>叶绿体,且抗氧化酶SOD、APX和 GR在亚细胞中分布差异达到极显著,这说明抗氧化酶在其中一种亚细胞中发挥主要作用,为克隆亚细胞组分中的抗氧化酶基因提供了理论依据。 相似文献

Dihydroorotases are universal proteins catalyzing the third step of pyrimidine biosynthesis. These zinc metalloenzymes belong to the superfamily of cyclic amidohydrolases, comprising also other enzymes that are involved in degradation of either purines (allantoinases), pyrimidines (dihydropyrimidinases) or hydantoins (hydantoinases). The evolutionary relationships between these mechanistically related enzymes were estimated after designing a method to build an accurate multiple sequence alignment. The amino acid sequences that have been crystallized were used to build a seed alignment. All the remaining homologues were progressively added by aligning their HMM profiles to the seed HMM profile, allowing to obtain a reliable phylogeny of the superfamily. This helped us to propose a new evolutionary classification of dihydroorotases into three major types, while at the same time disentangling an important part of the history of their complex structure–function relationships. Although differing in their substrate specificity, allantoinases, hydantoinases and dihydropyrimidinases are found to be phylogenetically closer to DHOase Type I than the proximity of the three DHOase types to each other. This suggests that the primordial cyclic amidohydrolase was a multifunctional, highly evolvable generalist, with high conformational diversity allowing for promiscuous activities. Then, successive gene duplications allowed resolving the primordial substrate ambiguity in various substrate specificities. The present-day superfamily of cyclic amidohydrolases is the result of the progressive divergence of these ancestral paralogous copies by descent with modification. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution of four enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphodiesterase I, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and p-nitroanisole O-demethylase) in the midgut of “wandering” fifth-instar larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L), was determined and the composition of mitochondrial and microsomal pellets was examined by electron microscopy. Most of the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and one-third of the phosphodiesterase I activity were found in the high-speed supernatant. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity was marginal and O-demethylase activity was undetectable in the supernatant. The highest specific activities for phosphodiesterase I, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and p-nitroanisole O-demethylase were measured in microsomes, but the relative specific activity of phosphodiesterase I was only half that obtained with the latter two enzymes. In all subcellular preparations the relative specific activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and p-nitroanisole O-demethylase were closely correlated. It is concluded that glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphodiesterase I are not microsomal marker enzymes in the midgut, but the activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and p-nitroanisole O-demethylase are quantitative measures of microsomal content. 相似文献

Plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDE) are the major virulence determinants in phytopathogenic Pectobacterium, and their production is controlled by many regulatory factors. In this study, we focus on the role of the AepA protein,
which was previously described to be a global regulator of PCWDE production in Pectobacterium carotovorum (Murata et al. in Mol Plant Microbe Interact 4:239–246, 1991). Our results show that neither inactivation nor overexpression of aepA affects PCWDE production in either Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCRI1043 or Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum SCC3193. The previously published observation based on the overexpression of aepA could be explained by the presence of the adjacent regulatory rsmB gene in the constructs used. Our database searches indicated that AepA belongs to the YtcJ subfamily of amidohydrolases.
YtcJ-like amidohydrolases are present in bacteria, archaea, plants and some fungi. Although AepA has 28% identity with the
formamide deformylase NfdA in Arthrobacter pascens F164, AepA was unable to catalyze the degradation of NdfA-specific N-substituted formamides. We conclude that AepA is a putative
aminohydrolase not involved in regulation of PCWDE production. 相似文献

The effects of mild water stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide
dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR)] and their isoenzymes and the
antioxidant content [ascorbate (ASC) and glutathione (GSH)] of different subcellular compartments were investigated in maize.
For each subcellular compartment, the activities of almost all isoenzymes resolved on native PAGE increased after 4–12 h of
exposure to water stress and declined after that, showing concomitant changes with the activities of their respective total
enzymes and the antioxidant content. For each subcellular compartment, at least one isoform for the detected antioxidant enzymes
was resolved, but different kinds of antioxidant isoenzymes in different subcellular compartments had different responses
to water stress. The relative contribution of Fe–SOD in chloroplasts and Mn–SOD in mitochondria was higher than that in other
subcellular compartments. However, in apoplasts the activities of Mn–SOD and Fe–SOD declined during the process of water stress,
in contrast to those located in other subcellular compartments. The results from the activities of antioxidant (iso)enzymes
demonstrated that all antioxidant enzymes in all subcellular compartments were mobilized in cooperation and responded synchronously
under mild water stress, with the same trend of changes in their activity. This indicated their orchestrated effects in scavenging
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ. Additionally, the results suggested that mitochondria and apoplasts, responding most
actively, might be targets for improving plant performance under mild water stress. 相似文献

Proteases from mesophyll protoplasts of Melilotus alba were identified by standard proteolytic assays and separated using different chromatographic techniques. Their characterization also included their subcellular location. Besides the evidence for the multiplicity of the proteolytic enzymes, two protease sets were distinguished endopeptidases, which are exclusively vacuolar, and aminopeptidases, which are widely distributed throughout the cell. Cytosol-located enzymes were tested as substrates of the two sets of proteases, by studying comparatively the time-course changes of enzyme activities during incubation in total protoplast extracts, or in cytosol fractions devoid of vacuolar proteases. The degradation of phosphoenolpyruvate-carboxylase protein, a typical cytosolic enzyme, in the presence of purified amino-and endopeptidases, was also estimated by immunoprecipitation studies. Only the vacuolar endopeptidases are effective in the degradation of cytosolic enzymes. Hydrolytic enzyme activities mostly of vacuolar origin were very stable during incubation in total protoplast extracts. These proteins therefore appear to be particularly resistant to proteolytic attack. The results indicate that, in plants, the effective proteolytic system acting on cytosolic enzymes seems to be vacuole-located, and that the selectivity in protein degradation may be imposed by the susceptibility of the protein being degraded and by its transfer into the vacuoles.Abbreviations Leu-pNA

Homocarnosine–carnosine synthetase and carnosinase were assayed in homogenates, 100,000 g supernatants, and ammonium sulfate fractions of the supernatants from nine regions of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as subcellular fractions of whole brains. The enzymes were detected in all CNS regions tested, with olfactory bulbs having the highest activities of both enzymes. In the subcellular fractions, the synthetase was found mainly in the cell-sap; carnosinase was detected in all fractions, the highest activity being in the mitochondria. The synthetases from olfactory bulbs, cerebellum and spinal cord have similar Km's for β-alanine and GABA. 相似文献

Acyl-CoA : lysolecithin and lysolecithin : lysolecithin acyltransferases, as well as acyl-CoA hydrolase are important enzymes in lung lipid metabolism. They use amphiphylic lipids as substrates and differ in subcellular localization. In this sense, lipid-protein interactions can be an essential factor in their activity. We have studied the effect of albumin, as lipid-binding protein model, in the activities of these enzymes. Acyl-CoA hydrolase was inhibited in the presence of albumin, whereas acyl-CoA : lysolecithin acyltransferase showed a complex effect of activation depending on both albumin concentration and palmitoyl-CoA/lysolecithin molar ratio. Lysolecithin : lysolecithin acyltransferase was affected differentially on its two activities. Hydrolysis remained unaffected and transacylation was inhibited by albumin. These results are consequence of the interaction of albumin with both lipidic substrates that changes their critical micellar concentration.Abbreviations TNS

We evaluated the preventive effect of caffeic acid (CA) on lysosomal enzymes in isoproterenol (ISO)‐treated myocardial infarcted rats. Male albino Wistar rats were pretreated with CA (15 mg/kg) daily for a period of 10 days. After the pretreatment period, ISO (100 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected to rats twice at an interval of 24 h. The activity of serum creatine kinase‐MB and lactate dehydrogenase was increased significantly (P < 0.05) in ISO‐induced myocardial infarcted rats. The levels of plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and lipid hydroperoxides were significantly (P < 0.05) increased, and the level of plasma‐reduced glutathione was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased in ISO‐induced myocardial infarcted rats. The activities of lysosomal enzymes (β‐glucuronidase, β‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase, β‐galactosidase, cathepsin‐B and cathepsin‐D) were increased significantly (P < 0.05) in the serum and heart of ISO‐induced myocardial infarcted rats. ISO induction also resulted in decreased stability of membranes, which was reflected by lowered activities of β‐glucuronidase and cathepsin‐D in different fractions except cytosol. Pretreatment with CA (15 mg/kg) to ISO‐treated rats significantly (P < 0.05) prevented the changes in the activities of cardiac marker enzymes, the levels of lipid peroxidation products, reduced glutathione and the activities of lysosomal enzymes in the serum, heart, and subcellular fractions. Oral treatment with CA (15 mg/kg) to normal control rats did not show any significant effect. Thus, the results of our study showed that CA prevented the lysosomal membrane damage against ISO‐induced myocardial infarction. The observed effects of CA are due to membrane‐stabilizing, antilipo peroxidative, and antioxidant effects. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

D-Aspartate oxidase and D-amino acid oxidase were found in high activity in the tissues of representative species of terrestrial gastropods. Analytical subcellular fractionation demonstrated that both of these oxidases co-localised with the peroxisome markers, acyl-CoA oxidase and catalase, in the digestive gland homogenate. Electron microscopy of peak peroxisome fractions showed particles of uniform size with generally well preserved variably electron-dense matrices bounded by an apparently single limiting membrane. Many of the particles exhibited a core region of enhanced electron density. Catalase cytochemistry of peak fractions confirmed the peroxisome identity of the organelles. Peroxisome-enriched subcellular fractions were used to investigate the properties of gastropod D-aspartate oxidase and D-amino acid oxidase activities. The substrate and inhibitor specificities of the two activities demonstrated that two distinct enzymes were present analogous to, but not identical to, the equivalent mammalian peroxisomal enzymes. 相似文献

Scavenger Enzyme Activities in Subcellular Fractions of White Clover (Trifolium repens L.) under PEG-induced Water Stress 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Scavenger enzyme activities in subcellular fractions under polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced water stress in white clover
(Trifolium repens L.) were studied. Water stress decreased ascorbic acid (AA) content and catalase (CAT) activity and increased the contents
of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (measure of lipid peroxidation), and activities of superoxide dismutase
(SOD), its various isozymes, ascorbate peroxidase (APOX), and glutathione reductase (GR) in cellular cytosol, chloroplasts,
mitochondria, and peroxisomes of Trifolium repens leaves. In both the PEG-treated plants and the control, chloroplastic fractions showed the highest total SOD, APOX, and GR
activities, followed by mitochondrial fractions in the case of total SOD and GR activities, whereas cytosolic fractions had
the second greatest APOX activity. However, CAT activity was the highest in peroxisomes, followed by the cytosol, mitochondria,
and chloroplasts in decreasing order. Although Mn-SOD activity was highest in mitochondrial fractions, residual activity was
also observed in cytosolic fractions. Cu/Zn-SOD and Fe-SOD were observed in all subcellular fractions; however, the activities
were the highest in chloroplastic fractions for both isoforms. Total Cu/Zn-SOD activity, the sum of activities observed in
all fractions, was higher than other SOD isoforms. These results suggest that cytosolic and chloroplastic APOX, chloroplastic
and mitochondrial GR, mitochondrial Mn-SOD, cytosolic and chloroplastic Cu/Zn-SOD, and chloroplastic Fe-SOD are the major
scavenger enzymes, whereas cellular CAT may play a minor role in scavenging of O2− and H2O2 produced under PEG-induced water stress in Trifolium repens. 相似文献

Summary Intracellular localization and enzymatic activities of lysosomal enzymes (cathepsin B,N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, and β-glucuronidase) were studied in control rats and after induction of caerulein pancreatitis.
In control rats high enzymatic activities were found in the postnuclear 1000g fraction (purified zymogen granules). The corresponding subcellular fraction in pancreatitis animals additionally contained
larger secretory vacuoles and autophagosomes and revealed a marked increase in lysosomal enzyme activities. Immunolabelling
studies at the ultrastructural level for trypsinogen and cathepsin B demonstrated a colocalization of lysosomal and digestive
enzymes in zymogen granules in healthy controls. After induction of pancreatitis immunolabelling still demonstrated a colocalisation
of cathepsin B and trypsinogen in secretory granules and newly formed Golgi-derived secretory vacuoles. Concomitantly appearing
autophagosomes were, however, only labelled for cathepsin B. It is concluded that segregation of lysosomal and digestive enzymes
is incomplete in normal acinar cells resulting in a colocalization in zymogen granules. In pancreatitis colocalization in
secretory granules is maintained, whereas only lysosomal enzymes were sufficiently transferred into autophagic vacuoles. No
indication for impaired mechanisms of molecular sorting of lysosomal and digestive enzymes in caerulein-induced pancreatitis
was found. 相似文献

Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of signaling compounds that mediate complex developmental and adaptative responses in plants. JAs derive from jasmonic acid (JA) through various enzymatic modifications, including conjugation to amino acids or oxidation, yielding an array of derivatives. The main hormonal signal, jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile), has been found recently to undergo catabolic inactivation by cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation. We characterize here two amidohydrolases, IAR3 and ILL6, that define a second pathway for JA-Ile turnover during the wound response in Arabidopsis leaves. Biochemical and genetic evidence indicates that these two enzymes cleave the JA-Ile signal, but act also on the 12OH-JA-Ile conjugate. We also show that unexpectedly, the abundant accumulation of tuberonic acid (12OH-JA) after wounding originates partly through a sequential pathway involving (i) conjugation of JA to Ile, (ii) oxidation of the JA-Ile conjugate, and (iii) cleavage under the action of the amidohydrolases. The coordinated actions of oxidative and hydrolytic branches in the jasmonate pathway highlight novel mechanisms of JA-Ile hormone turnover and redefine the dynamic metabolic grid of jasmonate conversion in the wound response. 相似文献

In this review properties of lipid acetyltransferase enzymes are outlined. The three activities of interest are lyso PAF acetyltransferase (acetyl CoA: 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetyltransferase), AGP acetyltransferase (acetyl CoA: 1-alkyl sn-glycero-3-phosphate acetyltransferase) and a transacetylase activity that can transfer acetyl groups from PAF to lipid acceptors in the formation of 1-alkenyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and N-acetyl sphingosine (C2 ceramide). This review focuses on the role of acetyltransferases and transacetylases within the metabolism of platelet-activating factor and specifically addresses characteristics of the enzymes, including subcellular localization, substrate selectivity, and enzymatic regulation 相似文献

Hylotelephium spectabile with high tolerance to cadmium (Cd) might be a potential candidate for phytoremediation. However, the mechanisms for Cd accumulation and tolerance in H. spectabile are poorly understood. Four H. spectabile populations, namely HB1, HB2, JS, and LN, were selected to investigate their Cd extraction potential and the underlying mechanism of Cd accumulation, focusing on subcellular distribution and antioxidant enzymes. The Cd concentration, bioconcentration factor and transfer factor of the LN was significantly higher than other populations, particularly with increasing Cd exposure, and no obvious growth inhibition observed. Segregation of excessive Cd to Cd-rich granule in LN was much higher than other populations which reveal one possible mechanism of Cd accumulation. A significant increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities with increasing Cd stress suggested SOD and CAT contribute to the Cd tolerance of H. spectabile. LN displayed significantly higher and constant peroxidase (POD) activities than other populations, which indicated that an effective mechanism existed in the LN to cope with Cd stress. Therefore, the subcellular distribution and antioxidant enzymes might play important roles in Cd accumulation and tolerance of H. spectabile. LN possessed high Cd extraction potential, and further studies under field conditions are warranted. 相似文献
