During the course of screening Bacillus species from food and water in Norway, we isolated a strain of Bacillus sphaericus of DNA homology group V, not previously recognized to contain entomopathogenic strains, that was cytotoxic to Vero cell epithelia. Peptide mass fingerprinting of a protein purified from the culture supernatant of B. sphaericus B354 identified a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) with high amino acid sequence identity with sphaericolysin, a CDC identified recently in B. sphaericus DNA homology group IIA. The toxin was haemolytic against erythrocytes from a range of species. Haemolysis was potentiated by dithiothreitol and inhibited by preincubation with cholesterol. The toxin induced lactate dehydrogenase release from Vero cells and formed pores in planar lipid bilayers. The distribution of CDC genes in B. sphaericus was examined, with CDC gene products obtained in 13 out of 17 strains representing four of the six DNA homology groups. Thus, we demonstrate the presence of a CDC in a nonentomopathogenic DNA homology group of B. sphaericus (group V) with typical CDC characteristics. CDCs appear to be present in a high proportion of B. sphaericus strains and are not restricted to group IIA insecticidal strains. 相似文献

Homology-based modeling of phenylalanine dehydrogenases (PheDHs) from various sources, using the structures of homologous enzymes Clostridium symbiosum glutamate dehydrogenase and Bacillus sphaericus leucine dehydrogenase as a guide, revealed that an asparagine residue at position 145 of B. sphaericus PheDH was replaced by valine or alanine in PheDHs from other sources. This difference was proposed to be the basis for the poor discrimination by the B. sphaericus enzyme between the substrates L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. Residue 145 of this enzyme was altered, by site-specific mutagenesis, to hydrophobic residues alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine, respectively. The resultant mutants showed a high discrimination, above 50-fold, between L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. This higher specificity toward L-phenylalanine was due to K(m) values for L-phenylalanine lowered more than 20-fold compared to the values for L-tyrosine. The greater specificity for L-phenylalanine in the wild-type Bacillus badius enzyme, which has a valine residue in the corresponding position, was also found to be largely due to a lower K(m) for this substrate. Activities were also measured with a range of six amino acids with aliphatic, nonpolar side chains, and with the corresponding oxoacids, and in all cases the specificity constants for these substrates were increased in the mutant enzymes. As with phenylalanine, these increases are mainly attributable to large decreases in K(m) values. 相似文献

Alanine dehydrogenase (L-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase, deaminating) was simply purified to homogeneity from a thermophile, Bacillus sphaericus DSM 462, by ammonium sulfate fractionation, red-Sepharose 4B chromatography and preparative slab gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had a molecular mass of about 230 kDa and consisted of six subunits with an identical molecular mass of 38 kDa. The enzyme was much more thermostable than that from a mesophile, B. sphaericus, and retained its full activity upon heating at 75 degrees C for at least 60 min and with incubation in pH 5.5-9.5 at 75 degrees C for 10 min. The enzyme can be stored without loss of its activity in a frozen state (-20 degrees C, at pH 7.2) for over 5 months. The optimum pH for the L-alanine deamination and pyruvate amination were around 10.5 and 8.2, respectively. The enzyme exclusively catalyzed the oxidative deamination of L-alanine in the presence of NAD+, but showed low amino acceptor specificity; hydroxypyruvate, oxaloacetate, 2-oxobutyrate and 3-fluoropyruvate are also aminated as well as pyruvate in the presence of NADH and ammonia. Initial velocity and product inhibition studies showed that the reductive amination proceeded through a sequential mechanism containing partially random binding. NADH binds first to the enzyme, and then pyruvate and ammonia bind in a random fashion. The products are sequentially released from the enzyme in the order L-alanine then NAD+. A dead-end inhibition by the formation of an abortive ternary complex which consists of the enzyme, NAD+ and pyruvate was included in the reaction. A possible role of the dead-end inhibition is to prevent the enzyme from functioning in the L-alanine synthesis. The Michaelis constants for the substrates were as follows: NADH, 0.10 mM; pyruvate, 0.50 mM; ammonia, 38.0 mM; L-alanine, 10.5 mM and NAD+, 0.26 mM. 相似文献

Novel phenylalanine dehydrogenases from Sporosarcina ureae and Bacillus sphaericus. Purification and characterization 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
NAD+-dependent phenylalanine dehydrogenases were purified 1,500- and 1,600-fold, and crystallized from Sporosarcina ureae SCRC-R04 and Bacillus sphaericus SCRC-R79a, respectively. The purified enzymes were homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme from S. ureae has a molecular weight of 305,000, while that of B. sphaericus has a molecular weight of 340,000. Each is probably composed of eight subunits identical in molecular weight. The S. ureae enzyme showed a high substrate specificity in the oxidative deamination reaction acting on L-phenylalanine, while that of B. sphaericus acted on L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. The enzymes had lower substrate specificities in the reductive amination reaction acting on alpha-keto acids. The Sporosarcina enzyme acted on phenylpyruvate, alpha-ketocaproate, alpha-keto-gamma-methylthiobutyrate and rho-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. The Bacillus enzyme acted on rho-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, phenylpyruvate, and alpha-keto-gamma-methylthiobutyrate. The enzyme from B. sphaericus catalyzes The enzyme from B. sphaericus catalyzes the transfer of pro-S (B) hydrogen from NADH. 相似文献

Malate dehydrogenase may interfere with the assay of NAD malic enzyme, as NADH is formed during the conversion of malate to oxaloacetate. During the present study, two additional effects of malate dehydrogenase were investigated; they are evident only if the malate dehydrogenase reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium prior to initiating the malic enzyme reaction. One of these (Outlaw, Manchester 1980 Plant Physiol 65: 1136-1138) might cause an underestimation of NAD reduction by malic enzyme due to the oxidation of NADH during reversal of the malate dehydrogenase reaction. A second effect may result in overestimation of malic enzyme activity, as Mn2+-catalyzed oxaloacetate decarboxylation causes continuing net NADH formation via malate dehydrogenase. These effects were studied by assaying the activity of a partially purified preparation of Amaranthus retroflexus NAD malic enzyme in the presence or absence of purified NAD malate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Thermostable phenylalanine dehydrogenase of Thermoactinomyces intermedius: cloning, expression, and sequencing of its gene 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The gene encoding the thermostable phenylalanine dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.-] of a thermophile, Thermoactinomyces intermedius, was cloned and its complete DNA sequence was determined. The phenylalanine dehydrogenase gene (pdh) consists of 1,098 nucleotides and encodes 366 amino acid residues corresponding to the subunit (Mr 41,000) of the hexameric enzyme. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the pdh gene of T. intermedius was 56.0 and 42.1% homologous to those of the phenylalanine dehydrogenases of Bacillus sphaericus and Sporosarcina ureae, respectively. It shows 47.5% homology to that of the thermostable leucine dehydrogenase from B. stearothermophilus. The pdh gene was highly expressed in E. coli JM109, the amount of phenylalanine dehydrogenase produced amounting up to about 8.3% of that of the total soluble protein. We purified the enzyme to homogeneity from transformant cells in a day, with a 58% recovery. 相似文献

Abstract Antibodies against the purified octameric l -leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) from the mesophilic Bacillus cereus have been used to screen 16 thermophilic Bacillus strains for LeuDH. 4 of these strains, Bacillus sphaericus 461 and Bacillus sp. 405, 406, and 411, showed a particularly strong cross reaction of the partial identity type when examined by Ouchterlony double diffusion assay, thus indicating that they were immunologically related to the B. cereus enzyme. The LeuDH from the thermophilic strains were very stable and highly active at elevated temperatures, and gave a downward bend at about 55°C in the Arrhenius plot. The pH optimum for l -leucine deamination was around pH 11 for all strains examined. 相似文献

The stereochemical course of the wheat germ meso-diaminopimelate (DAP) decarboxylase reaction is compared to that of the decarboxylase isolated from Bacillus sphaericus, which has been reported to proceed with an unusual inversion of configuration [Asada, Y., Tanizawa, K., Sawada, S., Suzuki, T., Misono, H., & Soda, K. (1981) Biochemistry 20, 6881-6886]. Reaction of each enzyme with either unlabeled diaminopimelic acid in D2O or [2,6-2H2]diaminopimelic acid in H2O gave stereospecifically deuterium-labeled lysine samples that were derivatized with (-)-camphanoyl chloride and diazomethane. Analysis by two-dimensional 1H-13C heteronuclear NMR shift correlation spectroscopy with 2H decoupling confirmed the stereochemistry of the B. sphaericus enzyme reaction and showed that the eukaryotic wheat germ meso-DAP decarboxylase also operates with inversion of configuration. This suggests similar mechanisms for the prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzymes and contrasts the retention mode observed with other pyridoxal phosphate dependent alpha-decarboxylases. 相似文献

The three-dimensional (3D) structure of Corynebacterium glutamicum diaminopimelate D-dehydrogenase in a ternary complex with NADPH and L-2-amino-6-methylene-pimelate has been solved and refined to a resolution of 2.1 A. L-2-Amino-6-methylene-pimelate was recently synthesized and shown to be a potent competitive inhibitor (5 microM) vs. meso-diaminopimelate of the Bacillus sphaericus dehydrogenase (Sutherland et al., 1999). Diaminopimelate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible NADP+ -dependent oxidation of the D-amino acid stereocenter of mesodiaminopimelate, and is the only enzyme known to catalyze the oxidative deamination of a D-amino acid. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of meso-diaminopimelate and L-lysine from L-aspartate, a biosynthetic pathway of considerable interest because it is essential for growth of certain bacteria. The dehydrogenase is found in a limited number of species of bacteria, as opposed to the alternative succinylase and acetylase pathways that are widely distributed in bacteria and plants. The structure of the ternary complex reported here provides a structural rationale for the nature and potency of the inhibition exhibited by the unsaturated L-2-amino-6-methylene-pimelate against the dehydrogenase. In particular, we compare the present structure with other structures containing either bound substrate, meso-diaminopimelate, or a conformationally restricted isoxazoline inhibitor. We have identified a significant interaction between the alpha-L-amino group of the unsaturated inhibitor and the indole ring of Trp144 that may account for the tight binding of this inhibitor. 相似文献

A sequential reaction was suggested for the conversion of L-alloisocitrate to alpha-oxoglutarate by an enzyme complex of L-alloisocitrate dehydrogenase and oxalosuccinate decarboxylase from Pseudomonas strain No. 2, during which oxalosuccinate was not released from the enzyme-substrate complex. The stereochemistry of oxalosuccinate formed by L-alloisocitrate dehydrogenase and decarboxylated by oxalosuccinate decarboxylase was opposite to that of the substrate for D-isocitrate dehydrogenase. Incubation of L-alloisocitrate with the dehydrogenase and decarboxylase in deuterium oxide provided [3-2H]-alpha-oxoglutarate, the configuration of which turned out to be the same as that produced by D-isocitrate dehydrogenase from D-isocitrate. The data suggested that enol form of alpha-oxoglutarate was involved as an intermediate in decarboxylation of oxalosuccinate by oxalosuccinate decarboxylase. L-Alloisocitrate dehydrogenase was shown to react with pro-S proton of NADH. 相似文献

1. The bacterial distribution of alanine dehydrogenase (L-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase, deaminating, EC 1.4.1.1) was investigated, and high activity was found in Bacillus species. The enzyme has been purified to homogeneity and crystallized from B. sphaericus (IFO 3525), in which the highest activity occurs. 2. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 230 000, and is composed of six identical subunits (Mr 38 000). 3. The enzyme acts almost specifically on L-alanine, but shows low amino-acceptor specificity; pyruvate and 2-oxobutyrate are the most preferable substrates, and 2-oxovalerate is also animated. The enzyme requires NAD+ as a cofactor, which cannot be replaced by NADP+. 4. The enzyme is stable over a wide pH range (pH 6.0--10.0), and shows maximum reactivity at approximately pH 10.5 and 9.0 for the deamination and amination reactions, respectively. 5. Alanine dehydrogenase is inhibited significantly by HgCl2, p-chloromercuribenzoate and other metals, but none of purine and pyrimidine bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, flavine compounds and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate influence the activity. 6. The reductive amination proceeds through a sequential ordered ternary-binary mechanism. NADH binds first to the enzyme followed by ammonia and pyruvate, and the products are released in the order of L-ALANINE AND NAD+. The Michaelis constants are as follows: NADH (10 microM), ammonia (28.2 mM), pyruvate (1.7 mM), L-alanine (18.9 mM) and NAD+ (0.23 mM). 7. The pro-R hydrogen at C-4 of the reduced nicotinamide ring of NADH is exclusively transferred to pyruvate; the enzyme is A-stereospecific. 相似文献

An additional enzyme, 4-oxo-5-hydroxyvalerate (OHV) dehydrogenase was identified and characterized. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of OHV to 4,5-dioxovalerate, a direct precursor of 5-aminolevulinate. The enzyme was partially purified from rat liver supernatant as two isoenzyme (ca. 40,000 and 70,000 dalton). 5-Aminolevulinate was formed from OHV via 4,5-dioxovalerate by this dehydrogenase and alanine-4,5-dioxovalerate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.43). This dehydrogenase required NADP of NAD as a hydrogen acceptor. The enzyme was heat sensitive and catalyzed the reaction reversibly. The dehydrogenase was present in the high speed supernatants of liver and kidney of rat, rabbit and human, and that of spinach leaf. 相似文献

The distribution of bacterial L-ornithine: alpha-ketoglutarate delta-aminotransferase (L-ornithine:2-oxo-acid aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.13]) was investigated, and Bacillus sphaericus (IFO 3525) was found to have the highest activity of the enzyme, which was inducibly formed by addition of L-ornithine or L-arginine to the medium. L-Ornithine:alpha-ketoglutarate delta-aminotransferase, purified to homogeneity and crystallized from B. sphaericus, had a molecular weight of about 80,000 and consisted of two subunits identical in molecular weight (41,000) and in amino-terminal residue (threonine). The enzyme exhibited absorption maxima at 278,343, and 425 nm and contained 1 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate per mol of enzyme. The formyl group of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was bound through an aldimine linkage to the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue of the protein. The enzyme-bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, absorbing at 425 nm, was released by incubation with phenylhydrazine to yield the catalytically inactive form. The inactive enzyme, which was reactivated by addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, still had a 343-nm peak and contained 1 mol of a vitamin B6 compound. The holoenzyme showed positive circular dichroic bands at 340 and 425 nm, whereas the inactive form had no band at 425 nm. The enzyme was highly specific for L-ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate and catalyzed delta-transamination between them to produce L-glutamate and L-glutamate-gamma-semialdehyde, which as spontaneously converted to delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The enzyme activity was significantly affected by nonsubstrate amino acids, amines, and carbonyl reagents. 相似文献

Xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.37) was isolated from chicken livers and immobilized by adsorption to a Sepharose derivative, prepared by reaction of n-octylamine with CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Using a crude preparation of enzyme for immobilization it was observed that relatively more activity was adsorbed than protein, but the yield of immobilized activity increased as a purer enzyme preparation was used. As more activity and protein were bound, relatively less immobilized activity was recovered. This effect was probably due to blocking of active xanthine dehydrogenase by protein impurities. The kinetics of free and immobilized xanthine dehydrogenase were studied in the pH range 7.5-9.1. The Km and V values estimated for free xanthine dehydrogenase increase as the pH increase; the K'm and V values for the immobilized enzyme go through a minimum at pH 8.1. By varying the amount of enzyme activity bound per unit volume of gel, it was shown that K'm is larger than Km are result of substrate diffusion limitation in the pores of the support material. Both free and immobilized xanthine dehydrogenase showed substrate activation at low concentrations (up to 2 microM xanthine). Immobilized xanthine dehydrogenase was more stable than the free enzyme during storage in the temperature range of 4-50 degrees C. The operational stability of immobilized xanthine dehydrogenase at 30 degrees C was two orders of magnitude smaller than the storage stability, t 1/2 was 9 and 800 hr, respectively. The operational stability was, however, better than than of immobilized milk xanthine oxidase (t 1/2 = 1 hr). In addition, the amount of product formed per unit initial activity in one half-life, was higher for immobilized xanthine dehydrogenase than for immobilized xanthine oxidase. Unless immobilized milk xanthine oxidase can be considerable stabilized, immobilized chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase is more promising for application in organic synthesis. 相似文献

Mechanism of action of glutaryl-CoA and butyryl-CoA dehydrogenases. Purification of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, a flavoprotein, catalyzes the reaction -OOCCH3CH2--CH2COSR (FAD leads to FADH2) leads to CH3CH = CHCOSR + CO2 (SR = CoA or pantetheine). With the isolated enzyme, a dye serves as the final electron acceptor. The enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 11250) has been purified to homogeneity. It was established with appropriate isotopic substitutions that the proton which is added to the gamma position of the product, subsequent to decarboxylation, is not derived from the solvent but is derived from the alpha position of the substrate. Under conditions where no net conversion of substrate occurs, i.e., in the absence of electron acceptor, the enzyme catalyzes the exchange of the beta hydrogen of the substrate with solvent protons. Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (M. elsedenii), which catalyzes an analogous reaction, catalyzes the exchange of both the alpha and beta hydrogens with solvent protons in the absence of electron acceptor. Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase and butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase are irreversibly inactivated by the substrate analogues 3-butynoylpantetheine and 3-pentynoylpantetheine. These inactivators do not form an adduct with the flavin and probably react with a nucleophile at the active site. Upon inactivation, the spectrum of the enzyme-bound flavin is essentially unchanged, and the flavin can be reduced by Na2S2O4. We suggest that inactivation involves intermediate allene formation. We proposed that these results support an oxidation mechanism for glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase and butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase which is initiated by proton abstraction. With glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, the base, which abstracts the substrate alpha proton, is shielded from the solvent and is then used to protonate the carbanion (CH2--CH--CHCOSCoA) formed after oxidation and decarboxylation. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of cystathionine gamma-synthase type II from Bacillus sphaericus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cystathionine gamma-synthase type II, which catalyzes L-cystathionine synthesis from O-acetyl-L-homoserine and L-cysteine was purified from Bacillus sphaericus (IFO 3536) in seven steps. The purified enzyme appeared to be homogeneous by the results of polyacrylamide electrophoresis and ampholyte electrofocusing. The enzyme is a typical pyridoxal-P dependent enzyme, has a molecular mass of 165 kDa and consists of four subunits identical in molecular mass. The enzyme catalyzed the gamma-replacement reaction and the elimination reaction was hardly detected even when a large amount of enzyme was added. In the replacement reaction, O-acetyl-L-homoserine and the following thiol compounds: L and D-cysteine, L and D-homocysteine, sodium sulfide, various alkyl and aryl mercaptans, acted as the most suitable substrate to produce L-cystathionine and the corresponding S-substituted L-homocysteine derivatives. 相似文献

Threonine was used as nitrogen source by Escherichia coli K-12 through a pathway beginning with the enzyme threonine dehydrogenase. The 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate formed was converted to glycine, and the glycine was converted to serine, which acted as the actual nitrogen donor. The enzyme formed under anaerobic conditions and known as threonine deaminase (biodegradative) is less widespread than threonine dehydrogenase and may be involved in energy metabolism rather than in threonine degradation per se. 相似文献

D-Vinylglycine (2-amino-3-butenoate) functions as a transamination substrate and irreversible inactivator of the homogeneous pyridoxal phosphate-dependent D-amino acid transaminases from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus sphaericus. In the absence of alpha-ketoglutarate as co-substrate, vinyl-glycine causes little if any inactivation of either enzyme; in the presence of excess alpha-ketoglutarate, both enzymes are inactivated with pseudo-first order kinetics. The limiting rate constant for inactivation of the B. sphaericus enzyme is 1.9 min-1, for the B. subilis enzyme it is 0.36 min-1. The number of catalytic events before inactivation is about 450 for the B. sphaericus enzyme and about 800 for the B. subtilis enzyme; that is, about 0.2% inactivation in each catalytic cycle for the former enzyme and 0.15% for the latter. Comparisons are made with the L-aspartate amino-transferase from pig heart which is inactivated completely in one catalytic cycle and the L-alanine aminotransferase which is not inactivated in many cycles. Comparisons are also made between the likely mode of D-transaminase inactivation produced by vinylglycine and the mode of inactivation induced by beta-chloro-D-alanine. 相似文献

The first intermediate of anaerobic toluene catabolism, (R)-benzylsuccinate, is formed by enzymic addition of the methyl group of toluene to a fumarate cosubstrate and is subsequently activated to (R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA. This compound is then oxidised to benzoyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA by a specific beta-oxidation pathway. The enzyme catalysing the first oxidation step of this pathway, (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase, is encoded by the bbsG gene in Thauera aromatica. It was functionally overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and characterised. The enzyme is a homotetramer with a subunit size of 45 kDa and contains one FAD per subunit. It is highly specific for (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA and is inhibited by (S)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA. An apparent K(m) value of 110+/-10 micro M was obtained for (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA. The reaction product of (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase was identified as (E)-benzylidene-succinyl-CoA by comparison with the chemically synthesised compound, which was obtained via a new synthetic procedure. (R)-Benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase was detected as a specifically substrate-induced protein in toluene- and m-xylene-grown cells of several bacterial species, using enzyme activity and immunological detection. 相似文献

1. Supernatant pig heart malate dehydrogenase is completely inhibited by reaction with diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH6.5, when 0.58+/-0.1 residue of ethoxycarbonylhistidine is formed per NADH-binding site. 2. Oxaloacetate and hydroxymalonate protect the enzyme from inhibition in the absence of coenzyme. 3. Limited ethoxycarbonylation does not alter the binding of NADH to the enzyme but prevents the enzyme-NADH complex from interacting with hydroxymalonate in a ternary complex. 相似文献
