The amino acid sequence of a 103 residue segment encompassing the substrate-binding active site lysyl residue of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from Drosophila melanogaster is determined. The sequence is identical to more than 70% with the structure of rabbit muscle aldolase and with the known partial sequences of the sturgeon muscle, trout muscle, and ox liver enzymes. The homology of the insect enzyme with the vertebrate aldolases strongly implies a similar tertiary structure folding. 相似文献

Immunochemical studies using polyclonal antisera prepared individually against highly purified cytosolic and chloroplast spinach leaf (Spinacia oleracea) fructose bisphosphate aldolases showed significant cross reaction between both forms of spinach aldolase and their heterologous antisera. The individual cross reactions were estimated to be approximately 50% in both cases under conditions of antibody saturation using a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In contrast, the class I procaryotic aldolase from Mycobacterium smegmatis and the class II aldolase from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) did not cross-react with either type of antiserum. The 29 residue long amino-terminal amino acid sequences of the procaryotic M. smegmatis and the spinach chloroplast aldolases were determined. Comparisons of these sequences with those of other aldolases showed that the amino-terminal primary structure of the chloroplast aldolase is much more similar to the amino-terminal structures of class I cytosolic eucaryotic aldolases than it is to the corresponding region of the M. smegmatis enzyme, especially in that region which forms the first “beta sheet” in the secondary structure of the eucaryotic aldolases. Moreover, results of a systematic comparison of the amino acid compositions of a number of diverse eucaryotic and procaryotic fructose bisphosphate aldolases further suggest that the chloroplast aldolase belongs to the eucaryotic rather than the procaryotic “family” of class I aldolases. 相似文献

Two fructose-bisphosphate aldolases(EC 4.1.2.13) from Klebsormidium flaccidum Silver, Mattox and Black-well were purified by affinity elution from phosphocellulose. The two enzymes were subsequently separated by HPLC on an anion-exchange column (QAE-silica). The aldolase eluting first represented 5% of the total activity; the other aldolase represented the remaining activity. The activity of the enzymes was not reduced by the presence of 1 mM EDTA or increased by 0.1 mM Zn2+, establishing their character as class I type (Me2+ independent) aldolases. The Km(fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) values were 1.7 and 34.7 μM for the enzyme eluting first and second, respectively, from the QAE-silica column. The subunit molecular masses, as determined by SDS-PACE, were 40.5 and 37 kD; the specific activities of the purified enzymes were 7.9 and 24.7 · mg?1 protein, respectively. The two aldolases of K. flaccidum are homologous to the cytosol and chloroplast specific isoenzymes of higher plants by several criteria and are therefore probably located in the same cellular compartments in K. flaccidum. The Km and specific activity for the chloroplast aldolase of K. flaccidum are three times higher than for the chloroplast aldolase of higher plants, a remarkable difference. Immunotitration with specific antisera against the chloroplast aldolase of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard and spinach showed that the chloroplast aldolase of K. flaccidum was immunochemically intermediate in structure to the respective aldolases of C. reinhardtii and higher plants. K. flaccidum is the second species of Charophyceae (besides Chara foetida Braun) with two class I aldolases as in higher plants whereas two species of Chlorophyceae have only one class I aldolase and, under some conditions, an additional class II (Me2+ dependent) aldolase. Thus, aldolases may turn out, in addition to the known enzymes of glycolate conversion and urea degradation, be a novel enzyme system to evaluate algal evolution along with cytological features. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from Drosophila melanogaster was determined and was compared with those of five vertebrate aldolases on record. The four identical polypeptide chains of the insect enzyme, acetylated at the N-terminus and three residues shorter than the vertebrate chains, contain 360 amino acid residues. Of these 190 (or 53%) are identical in all six enzymes and in addition 33 positions (or 9%) are occupied by homologous residues. Comparison with the muscle-type isoaldolases from man and rabbit and the liver-type isoaldolases from man, rat, and chicken indicates an average sequence identity of 70 and 63%, respectively. Thus, the insect and the vertebrate muscle aldolases are probably coded by orthologous genes. On this basis an average rate of evolution of 3.0 PAM per 10(8) years is calculated, documenting an evolutional divergence slower than that of cytochrome c (4.2 PAM/10(8) years). The rate is also lower than that of the liver isoform (3.6 PAM/10(8) years). Secondary structure prediction analysis for Drosophila aldolase suggests the occurrence of 11-12 helical segments and 8-9 beta-strands. The conspicuous alternation of these structures in all six aldolases, especially in the C-terminal 200 residues, is consistant with the formation of an alpha beta-barrel supersecondary structure as documented for several other glycolytic enzymes. 相似文献

Fructose diphosphate aldolase has been purified to homogeneity from Mycobacterium smegmatis. Physicochemical studies showed that the enzyme is a tetramer of molecular weight 158,000. Mycobacterium smegmatis aldolase, though a bacterial enzyme, possesses properties similar to other class I aldolases. Inactivation of the enzyme by sodium borohydride in presence of dihydroxyacetone phosphate suggested the formation of a Schiff-base intermediate. 相似文献

We report the sequences of full-length cDNAs for the nuclear genes encoding the chloroplastic and cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) from spinach. A comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequences with one another and with published cytosolic aldolase sequences of other plants revealed that the two enzymes from spinach share only 54% homology on their amino acid level whereas the homology of the cytosolic enzyme of spinach with the known sequences of cytosolic aldolases of maize, rice and Arabidopsis range from 67 to 92%. The sequence of the chloroplastic enzyme includes a stroma-targeting N-terminal transit peptide of 46 amino acid residues for import into the chloroplast. The transit peptide exhibits essential features similar to other chloroplast transit peptides. Southern blot analysis implies that both spinach enzymes are encoded by single genes. 相似文献

Aldolase activity of Chara foetida (Braun) could be separated into a minor (peak I) and a major peak (peak II) by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Affinity chromatography on P-cellulose resulted in highly purified aldolase preparations with specific activities of 3.2 and 4.8 units per milligram protein and molecular subunit masses of 37 and 35 kilodalton, as shown by SDS-PAGE, for the aldolase of peak I and peak II, respectively. Both aldolases belong to class I aldolase since the activity is not inhibited by 1 millimolar EDTA. The Km (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) values were 0.64 and 13.4 micromolar, respectively. The aldolase of peak I showed a 6.7 times stronger crossreaction with a specific antiserum against the cytosol aldolase of spinach than with an antiserum against the chloroplast aldolase of spinach. On the other hand the aldolase of peak II showed a 5.1 times stronger cross-reaction with the α-plastidaldolase antiserum than with the α-cytosol-aldolase antiserum. For algae this is the first separation of two class I aldolases. They are similar to the cytosol and chloroplast aldolases in higher plants, but different from a reported class I (Me2+ independent) and class II (Me2+ dependent) aldolase in other algae. 相似文献

A method is described for the detection of 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase activity after electrophoresis of the enzyme on polyacrylamide gels. When gels are incubated with substrate (2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate), activity is seen as a yellow-colored band due to interaction of the product )glyoxylate) with ortho-aminobenzaldehyde and glycine. Positive results have been obtained using either crude cell-free preparations or homogeneous enzyme from Escherichia coli as well as with highly purified samples of aldolase from bovine liver or kidney extracts. The method is potentially applicable to other aldolases that liberate an aliphatic aldehyde as a product; modifications and limitations of the procedure for detecting fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase, 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase, and 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase activities have been explored. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of FBP aldolase from Drosophila melanogaster has been determined. The enzyme contains four identical subunits of 360 amino acid residues. The primary structure of the monomer was established using automated Edman degradation on fragments prepared by CNBr-cleavage, by partial acid cleavage at the unique Asp-Pro bond and by oxidative cleavage at the three tryptophan residues. Manual Edman-Chang degradation was used on smaller peptides obtained by digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, trypsin or chymotrypsin. The primary structure of Drosophila aldolase exhibits very extensive homology with the sequence of rabbit muscle aldolase (71% identity), thus explaining the early observation that Drosophila and mammalian aldolases form active interspecies hybrid quaternary structures (Brenner-Holzach, O. and Leuthardt, F., Eur. J. Biochem. (1972) 31, 423-426). 相似文献

Following tryptic digestion four cysteine-containing peptides per monomer have been isolated from fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase of Drosophila melanogaster. Sequence analyses of the peptides showed that three of the four cysteinyl residues appear to occur in homologous positions to three of the eight cysteines of rabbit muscle aldolase. Moreover they seem to be homologous also to three of the six sulfhydryl groups in sturgeon aldolase. The fourth cysteine-containing peptide of Drosophila aldolase has no homologous SH peptide either in the rabbit or in the sturgeon enzyme, but corresponds to another tryptic peptide in the rabbit aldolase. As deduced from homology all four SH peptides are localized in the buried region of the molecule. This conclusion is confirmed by the fact that all four cysteine-containing peptides have been isolated from the central cyanogen bromide fragment. Drosophila aldolase has no exposed thiol groups, thus demonstrating that these residues are not essential either in catalytic activity or for the stabilization of the three-dimensional structure. 相似文献

The key enzyme of the glycolytic pathway of Deinococcus radiodurans, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, could be induced independently by glucose and Mn. The enzyme exhibited the characteristics
of the metal-dependent Class II aldolases. Unlike most Class II aldolases, the deinococcal aldolase preferred Mn, not Zn,
as a cofactor. The fbaA gene encoding the deinococcal aldolase was cloned and the protein overproduced in various Escherichia coli expression hosts. However, the overexpressed deinococcal enzyme aggregated and formed inclusion bodies. Dissolving these
inclusion bodies by urea and subsequent purification by nickel affinity chromatography, resulted in a protein fraction that
exhibited aldolase activity only in the presence of Mn. This active aldolase fraction exhibited masses of about 70 kDa and
35 kDa by gel filtration and by SDS gel electrophoresis, respectively, suggesting that the active aldolase was a dimer. 相似文献

Chiral β-hydroxy α-amino acid structural motifs are interesting and common synthons present in multiple APIs and drug candidates. To access these chiral building blocks either multistep chemical syntheses are required or the application of threonine aldolases, which catalyze aldol reactions between an aldehyde and glycine. Bioinformatics tools have been utilized to identify the gene encoding threonine aldolase from Vanrija humicola and subsequent preparation of its recombinant version from E. coli fermentation. We planned to implement this enzyme as a key step to access the synthesis of our target API. Beyond this specific application, the aldolase was purified, characterized and the substrate scope of this enzyme further investigated. A number of enzymatic reactions were scaled-up and the products recovered to assess the diastereoselectivity and scalability of this asymmetric synthetic approach towards β-hydroxy α-amino acid chiral building blocks. 相似文献

Sialic acid aldolases (E.C.4.1.3.3) catalyze the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to from N-acetyl-d-mannosamine (ManNAc) and pyruvate. In this study, a sialic acid aldolase (PdNAL) from Peptoclostridium difficile NAP08 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). This homotetrameric enzyme was purified with a specific activity of 18.34 U/mg for the cleavage of Neu5Ac. The optimal pH and temperature for aldol addition reaction were 7.4 and 65 °C, respectively. PdNAL was quite stable at neutral and alkaline pH (6.0–10.0) and maintained about 89% of the activity after incubation at pH 10.0 for 24 h. After incubation at 70 °C for 15 min, almost no activity loss was observed. The high thermostability simplified the purification of this enzyme. Interestingly, substrate profiling showed that PdNAL not only accepted ManNAc but also short chain aliphatic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and n-butyraldehyde as the substrates. This is the first example that a sialic acid aldolase is active toward aliphatic aldehyde acceptors with two or more carbons. The amino acid sequence analysis indicates that PdNAL belongs to the NAL subfamily rather than 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate (HOPA) aldolase, but it is interesting that the enzyme possesses the activity of HOPA aldolase. 相似文献

Two new genes whose products are involved in biodegradation of the organic solvent tetralin were identified. These genes, designated thnE and thnF, are located downstream of the previously identified thnD gene and code for a hydratase and an aldolase, respectively. A sequence comparison of enzymes similar to ThnE showed the significant similarity of hydratases involved in biodegradation pathways to 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylases and established four separate groups of related enzymes. Consistent with the sequence information, characterization of the reaction catalyzed by ThnE showed that it hydrated a 10-carbon dicarboxylic acid. The only reaction product detected was the enol tautomer, 2,4-dihydroxydec-2-ene-1,10-dioic acid. The aldolase ThnF showed significant similarity to aldolases involved in different catabolic pathways whose substrates are dihydroxylated dicarboxylic acids and which yield pyruvate and a semialdehyde. The reaction products of the aldol cleavage reaction catalyzed by ThnF were identified as pyruvate and the seven-carbon acid pimelic semialdehyde. ThnF and similar aldolases showed conservation of the active site residues identified by the crystal structure of 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-galactarate aldolase, a class II aldolase with a novel reaction mechanism, suggesting that these similar enzymes are class II aldolases. In contrast, ThnF did not show similarity to 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolases of other biodegradation pathways, which are significantly larger and apparently are class I aldolases. 相似文献

Low stringency hybridisation with a rabbit aldolase cDNA was used to select cDNA clones encoding fructose biphosphate aldolase in Trypanosoma brucei. A clone which is almost full length encodes a protein of 41 027 daltons which has 50% identity with rabbit aldolase A and slightly lower homology with B-type aldolases. The homologous mRNA is at least 6-fold more abundant in bloodstream trypomastigotes than in procyclic forms, as expected from measurements of enzyme activity. Genomic mapping results indicate that trypanosomes have four copies of the aldolase gene arranged as two copies of a tandem repeat. The protein has a short N-terminal extension (relative to other known aldolases) which could be involved in the glycosomal localisation of the enzyme. 相似文献

A fructose diphosphate aldolase has been isolated from ascarid muscle and crystallized by simple column chromatography and an ammonium sulfate fractionation procedure. It was found to be homogeneous on electrophoresis and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. This enzyme has a fructose diphosphate/fructose 1-phosphate activity ratio close to 40 and specific activity for fructose diphosphate cleavage close to 11. Km values of ascarid aldolase are 1 × 10−6m and 2 × 10−3m for fructose diphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate, respectively. The enzyme reveals a number of catalytic and molecular properties similar to those found for class I fructose diphosphate aldolases. It has C-terminal functional tyrosine residues, a molecular weight of 155,000, and is inactivated by NaBH4 in presence of substrate. Data show the presence of two types of subunits in ascarid aldolase; the subunits have different electrophoretic mobilities but similar molecular weights of 40,000. Immunological studies indicate that the antibody-binding sites of the molecules of the rabbit muscle aldolase A or rabbit liver aldolase B are structurally different from those of ascarid aldolase. Hybridization studies show the formation of one middle hybrid form from a binary mixture of the subunits of ascarid and rabbit muscle aldolases. Hybridization between rabbit liver aldolase and ascarid aldolase was not observed. The results indicate that ascarid aldolase is structurally more related to the mammalian aldolase A than to the aldolase B. 相似文献

Amino-acid Sequence Homology in the Muscle Aldolases from Sturgeons of Different Species 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
STUDIES on the primary structure of aldolases isolated from ox, pig and rabbit muscle show that the amino-acid sequence of fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase [EC 4.1.2.13] has been highly conserved throughout mammalian evolution1. But comparison of the primary structure of the enzyme from these species with that from the muscle of a single North Sea sturgeon, presumably Acipenser sturio, indicated that although the proteins were homologous, a number of amino-acid replacements occurred between sturgeon aldolase and the aldolases of the phylogenetically distant mammalian species1. As a knowledge of the nature and number of amino-acid replacements between homologous proteins caft provide information both about the functional role of individual residues and about evolution, further comparative studies of rabbit and sturgeon aldolases were undertaken and an account of the sequence homology around the active-site-lysine residue of aldolases from rabbit muscle, rabbit liver and the muscle of the river sturgeon of Eastern Canada, Acipenser fulvescens, has been given2,3. 相似文献

An unusual class I (Schiff base) fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from the halophilic archaebacterium Haloarcula vallismortis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An electrophoretically homogeneous class I (Schiff base) alsolase has been isolated for the first time from the archaebacterial halophile Haloarcula (Halobacterium) vallismortis. The aldolase was characterized with respect to its molecular mass, amino acid composition, salt dependency, immunological cross-reactivity and kinetic properties. The subunit mass of aldolase is 27 kDa, which is much smaller than other class I aldolases. By the gel filtration method, the molecular mass of the halobacterial enzyme was estimated as 280 +/- 10 kDa, suggesting a decameric nature. In contrast to many halobacterial proteins, the H. vallismortis aldolase, though a halophilic enzyme, did not show an excess of acidic residues. Unlike the eukaryotic aldolases, the activity of the halobacterial enzyme was not affected by carboxypeptidase digestion. The general catalytic features of the enzyme were similar to its counterparts from other sources. No antigenic similarity could be detected between the H. vallismortis aldolase and class I aldolase from eubacteria and eukaryotes or class II halobacterial aldolases. 相似文献
