Specificities of reactivating factors for adenosylcobalamin-dependent diol dehydratase and glycerol dehydratase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Adenosylcobalamin-dependent glycerol and diol dehydratases undergo inactivation by the physiological substrate glycerol during catalysis. In the permeabilized cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and recombinant Escherichia coli, glycerol-inactivated glycerol dehydratase and diol dehydratase are reactivated by their respective reactivating factors in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, and adenosylcobalamin. Both of the reactivating factors consist of two subunits. To examine the specificities of the reactivating factors, their genes or their hybrid genes were co-expressed with dehydratase genes in E. coli cells in various combinations. The reactivating factor of K. oxytoca for diol dehydratase efficiently cross-reactivated the inactivated glycerol dehydratase, whereas the reactivating factor of K. pneumoniae for glycerol dehydratase hardly cross-reactivated the inactivated diol dehydratase. Both of the two hybrid reactivating factors rapidly reactivated the inactivated glycerol dehydratase. In contrast, the hybrid reactivating factor containing the large subunit of the glycerol dehydratase reactivating factor hardly reactivated the inactivated diol dehydratase. These results indicate that the glycerol dehydratase reactivating factor is much more specific for the dehydratase partner than the diol dehydratase reactivating factor and that a large subunit of the reactivating factors principally determines the specificity for a dehydratase. 相似文献

The coenzyme B12-dependent glycerol dehydratase of Citrobacter freundii is subject to suicide inactivation by the natural substrate glycerol during catalysis. We identified dhaF and dhaG as the genes responsible for reactivation of inactivated dehydratase. Northern blot analyses revealed that both genes were expressed during glycerol fermentation. The dhaF gene is transcribed together with the three structural genes coding for glycerol dehydratase (dhaBCE), whereas dhaG is coexpressed with the dhaT gene encoding 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase. The dhaF and dhaG gene products were copurified to homogeneity from cell-free extracts of a recombinant E. coli strain producing both His6-tagged proteins. Both proteins formed a tight complex with an apparent molecular mass of 150 000 Da. The subunit structure of the native complex is probably alpha2beta2. The factor rapidly reactivated glycerol- or O2-inactivated hologlycerol dehydratase and activated the enzyme-cyanocobalamin complex in the presence of coenzyme B12, ATP, and Mg2+. The DhaF-DhaG complex and DhaF exhibited ATP-hydrolyzing activity, which was not directly linked to the reactivation of dehydratase. The purified DhaF-DhaG complex of C. freundii efficiently cross-activated the enzyme-cyanocobalamin complex and the glycerol-inactivated glycerol dehydratase of Klebsiella pneumoniae. It was not effective with respect to the glycerol dehydratase of Clostridium pasteurianum and to diol dehydratases of enteric bacteria. 相似文献

Characterization and mechanism of action of a reactivating factor for adenosylcobalamin-dependent glycerol dehydratase 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Adenosylcobalamin-dependent glycerol dehydratase undergoes mechanism-based inactivation by its physiological substrate glycerol. We identified two genes (gdrAB) of Klebsiella pneumoniae for a glycerol dehydratase-reactivating factor (Tobimatsu, T., Kajiura, H., Yunoki, M., Azuma, M., and Toraya, T. (1999) J. Bacteriol. 181, 4110-4113). Recombinant GdrA and GdrB proteins formed a tight complex of (GdrA)(2)(GdrB)(2), which is a putative reactivating factor. The purified factor reactivated the glycerol-inactivated and O(2)-inactivated glycerol dehydratases as well as activated the enzyme-cyanocobalamin complex in vitro in the presence of ATP, Mg(2+), and adenosylcobalamin. The factor mediated the exchange of the enzyme-bound, adenine-lacking cobalamins for free, adenine-containing cobalamins in the presence of ATP and Mg(2+) through intermediate formation of apoenzyme. The factor showed extremely low ATP-hydrolyzing activity and formed a tight complex with apoenzyme in the presence of ADP. Incubation of the enzyme-cyanocobalamin complex with the reactivating factor in the presence of ADP brought about release of the enzyme-bound cobalamin. The resulting tight inactive complex of apoenzyme with the factor dissociated upon incubation with ATP, forming functional apoenzyme and a low affinity form of factor. Thus, it was established that the reactivation of the inactivated holoenzymes takes place in two steps: ADP-dependent cobalamin release and ATP-dependent dissociation of the apoenzyme-factor complex. We propose that the glycerol dehydratase-reactivating factor is a molecular chaperone that participates in reactivation of the inactivated enzymes. 相似文献

Adenosylcobalamin-dependent glycerol dehydratase undergoes inactivation by glycerol, the physiological substrate, during catalysis. In permeabilized cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae, the inactivated enzyme is reactivated in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, and adenosylcobalamin. We identified the two open reading frames as the genes for a reactivating factor for glycerol dehydratase and designated them gdrA and gdrB. The reactivation of the inactivated glycerol dehydratase by the gene products was confirmed in permeabilized recombinant Escherichia coli cells coexpressing GdrA and GdrB proteins with glycerol dehydratase. 相似文献

Adenosylcobalamin-dependent diol and glycerol dehydratases are isofunctional enzymes and undergo mechanism-based inactivation by a physiological substrate glycerol during catalysis. Inactivated holoenzymes are reactivated by their own reactivating factors that mediate the ATP-dependent exchange of an enzyme-bound, damaged cofactor for free adenosylcobalamin through intermediary formation of apoenzyme. The reactivation takes place in two steps: (a) ADP-dependent cobalamin release and (b) ATP-dependent dissociation of the resulting apoenzyme-reactivating factor complexes. The in vitro experiments with purified proteins indicated that diol dehydratase-reactivating factor (DDR) cross-reactivates the inactivated glycerol dehydratase, whereas glycerol dehydratase-reactivating factor (GDR) did not cross-reactivate the inactivated diol dehydratase. We investigated the molecular basis of their specificities in vitro by using purified preparations of cognate and noncognate enzymes and reactivating factors. DDR mediated the exchange of glycerol dehydratase-bound cyanocobalamin for free adeninylpentylcobalamin, whereas GDR cannot mediate the exchange of diol dehydratase-bound cyanocobalamin for free adeninylpentylcobalamin. As judged by denaturing PAGE, the glycerol dehydratase-DDR complex was cross-formed, although the diol dehydratase-GDR complex was not formed. There were no specificities of reactivating factors in the ATP-dependent dissociation of enzyme-reactivating factor complexes. Thus, it is very likely that the specificities of reactivating factors are determined by the capability of reactivating factors to form complexes with apoenzymes. A modeling study based on the crystal structures of enzymes and reactivating factors also suggested why DDR cross-forms a complex with glycerol dehydratase, and why GDR does not cross-form a complex with diol dehydratase. 相似文献

Mechanism of reactivation of coenzyme B12-dependent diol dehydratase by a molecular chaperone-like reactivating factor. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of reactivation of diol dehydratase by its reactivating factor was investigated in vitro by using enzyme. cyanocobalamin complex as a model for inactivated holoenzyme. The factor mediated the exchange of the enzyme-bound, adenine-lacking cobalamins for free, adenine-containing cobalamins through intermediate formation of apoenzyme. The factor showed extremely low but distinct ATP-hydrolyzing activity. It formed a tight complex with apoenzyme in the presence of ADP but not at all in the presence of ATP. Incubation of the enzyme.cyanocobalamin complex with the reactivating factor in the presence of ADP brought about release of the enzyme-bound cobalamin, leaving the tight apoenzyme-reactivating factor complex. Although the resulting complex was inactive even in the presence of added adenosylcobalamin, it dissociated by incubation with ATP, forming the apoenzyme, which was reconstitutable into active holoenzyme with added coenzyme. Thus, it was established that the reactivation of the inactivated holoenzyme by the factor in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ takes place in two steps: ADP-dependent cobalamin release and ATP-dependent dissociation of the apoenzyme.factor complex. ATP plays dual roles as a precursor of ADP in the first step and as an effector to change the factor into the low-affinity form for diol dehydratase. The enzyme-bound adenosylcobalamin was also susceptible to exchange with free adeninylpentylcobalamin, although to a much lesser degree. The mechanism for discrimination of adenine-containing cobalamins from adenine-lacking cobalamins was explained in terms of formation equilibrium constants of the cobalamin.enzyme.reactivating factor ternary complexes. We propose that the reactivating factor is a new type of molecular chaperone that participates in reactivation of the inactivated enzymes. 相似文献

The enteric bacterium Escherichia blattae has been analyzed for the presence of cobalamin (B12) biosynthesis and B12-dependent pathways. Biochemical studies revealed that E. blattae synthesizes B12 de novo aerobically and anaerobically. Genes exhibiting high similarity to all genes of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, which are involved in the oxygen-independent route of B12 biosynthesis, were present in the genome of E. blattae DSM 4481. The dha regulon encodes the key enzymes for the anaerobic conversion of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol, including coenzyme B12-dependent glycerol dehydratase. E. blattae DSM 4481 lacked glycerol dehydratase activity and showed no anaerobic growth with glycerol, but the genome of E. blattae DSM 4481 contained a dha regulon. The E. blattaedha regulon is unusual, since it harbors genes for two types of dihydroxyacetone kinases. The major difference to dha regulons of other enteric bacteria is the inactivation of the dehydratase-encoding gene region by insertion of a 33,339-bp prophage (MuEb). Sequence analysis revealed that MuEb belongs to the Mu family of bacteriophages. The E. blattae strains ATCC 33429 and ATCC 33430 did not contain MuEb. Accordingly, both strains harbored an intact dehydratase-encoding gene region and fermented glycerol. The properties of the glycerol dehydratases and the correlating genes (dhaBCE) of both strains were similar to other B12-dependent glycerol and diol dehydratases, but both dehydratases exhibited the highest affinity for glycerol of all B12-dependent dehydratases characterized so far. In addition to the non-functional genes encoding B12-dependent glycerol dehydratase, the genome of E. blattae DSM 4481 contained the genes for only one other B12-dependent enzyme, the methylcobalamin-dependent methionine synthase. 相似文献

The genes encoding glycerol dehydratase were cloned and characterized by genomic DNA from Klebsiella pneumoniae XJPD-Li, and the assigned accession number EF634063 was available from the GenBank database. The DNA sequence analysis showed that the clone included three ORFs (dhaB, dhaC and dhaE, encoding α, β and γ subunit of glycerol dehydratase, respectively). Among three subunits of glycerol dehydratase, amino acid residues H13, S193, N359, E407, and M515 of α subunit, N47, L150, V189 of β subunit are different with what had been reported. Subsequently, the expression vector was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21, and the colony carried genes of glycerol dehydratase were selected. SDS-PAGE examination showed that the three subunits were well expressed. The specific activity of recombined glycerol dehydratase reached to 0.299 U mg?1, which was about 3 times comparing with that of the wild strain. The research also displayed that both glycerol and O2 could inactive the glycerol dehydratase expressed in E. coli quickly in 10 min. The inactivated glycerol dehydratase could be effectively reactivated under the system as follows: the concentration of ATP, Mg2+ and coenzyme B12 were 50 mM, 10 mM and 3 μM, respectively, when the ratio (W/W) of glycerol dehydratase to reactivation factor was 4:1. The O2-inactivated and glycerol-inactivated dehydratase could be reactivated to 97.3% and 98.9% of initial activity in 10 min in above-mentioned conditions, respectively. The reactivation factor together with ATP was considered as the “ON/OFF” reactivating condition. 相似文献

Glycerol and diol dehydratases are inducible, coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes found together in Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 25955 during anaerobic growth on glycerol. Mutants of this strain isolated by a novel procedure were separately constitutive for either dehydratase, showing the structural genes for the two enzymes to be under independent control in vivo. Glycerol dehydratase and a trimethylene glycol dehydrogenase were implicated as members of a pleiotropic control system that includes glycerol dehydrogenase and dihydroxyacetone kinase for the anaerobic dissimilation of glycerol (the "dha system"). The dehydratase and dehydrogenases were induced by dihydroxyacetone and were jointly constitutive in mutants isolated as constitutive for either the dha system or glycerol dehydratase. These data and the stimulation of growth by Co2+ suggested that glycerol dehydratase and trimethylene glycol dehydrogenase are obligatory enzymes for anaerobic growth on glycerol as the sole carbon source. 相似文献

The function of glycerol dehydratase (GDH) reactivase is to remove damaged coenzyme B(12) from GDH that has suffered mechanism-based inactivation. The structure of GDH reactivase from Klebsiella pneumoniae was determined at 2.4 A resolution by the single isomorphous replacement with anomalous signal (SIR/AS) method. Each tetramer contains two elongated 63 kDa alpha subunits and two globular 14 kDa beta subunits. The alpha subunit contains structural features resembling both GroEL and Hsp70 groups of chaperones, and it appears chaperone like in its interactions with ATP. The fold of the beta subunit resembles that of the beta subunit of glycerol dehydratase, except that it lacks some coenzyme B(12) binding elements. A hypothesis for the reactivation mechanism of reactivase is proposed based on these structural features. 相似文献

Genes dhaF and dhaG encoding the α and β subunits of glycerol dehydratase reactivation factor (GDHtR) were amplified from the genomic DNA of Klebsiella pneumoniae XJPD-Li. The identity of the deduced amino acid sequence of the β subunit was relatively low compared with that of K. pneumoniae (U30903), where the 96th amino acid residue was found to be the more active amino acid histidine instead of glutamine in K. pneumoniae (U30903). A specific GDHtR activity of approximately 30 U/mg was attained in Escherichia coli BL21 (pET-28a (+)-dhaFG). His6-tagged GDHtR was purified by Ni-nitrilotriacetate chromatography, and the enzyme was purified 2.6-fold in a yield of 20.7%. The study showed that both glycerol and O2-inactivated glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) could be quickly reactivated by GDHtR in the presence of ATP, Mg2+ and coenzyme B12. However, the glycerol-inactivated GDHt was more easily reactivated than O2-inactivated GDHt. In the first 10 min of the reactivation reaction, the average reactivation rate was 0.18 and 0.12 μmol/min for glycerol and O2-inactivated GDHt, respectively. 相似文献

The structure of the EutB protein from Salmonella typhimurium, which contains the active site of the coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin)-dependent enzyme, ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, has been predicted by using structural proteomics techniques of comparative modelling. The 453-residue EutB protein displays no significant sequence identity with proteins of known structure. Therefore, secondary structure prediction and fold recognition algorithms were used to identify templates. Multiple three-dimensional template matching (threading) servers identified predominantly beta8alpha8, TIM-barrel proteins, and in particular, the large subunits of diol dehydratase (PDB: 1eex:A, 1dio:A) and glycerol dehydratase (PDB: 1mmf:A), as templates. Consistent with this identification, the dehydratases are, like ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, Class II coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes. Model building was performed by using MODELLER. Models were evaluated by using different programs, including PROCHECK and VERIFY3D. The results identify a beta8alpha8, TIM-barrel fold for EutB. The beta8alpha8, TIM-barrel fold is consistent with a central role of the alpha/beta-barrel structures in radical catalysis conducted by the coenzyme B12- and S-adenosylmethionine-dependent (radical SAM) enzyme superfamilies. The EutB model and multiple sequence alignment among ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, diol dehydratase, and glycerol dehydratase from different species reveal the following protein structural features: (1) a "cap" loop segment that closes the N-terminal region of the barrel, (2) a common cobalamin cofactor binding topography at the C-terminal region of the barrel, and (3) a beta-barrel-internal guanidinium group from EutB R160 that overlaps the position of the active-site potassium ion found in the dehydratases. R160 is proposed to have a role in substrate binding and radical catalysis. 相似文献

To isolate genes encoding coenzyme B(12)-dependent glycerol and diol dehydratases, metagenomic libraries from three different environmental samples were constructed after allowing growth of the dehydratase-containing microorganisms present for 48 h with glycerol under anaerobic conditions. The libraries were searched for the targeted genes by an activity screen, which was based on complementation of a constructed dehydratase-negative Escherichia coli strain. In this way, two positive E. coli clones out of 560,000 tested clones were obtained. In addition, screening was performed by colony hybridization with dehydratase-specific DNA fragments as probes. The screening of 158,000 E. coli clones by this method yielded five positive clones. Two of the plasmids (pAK6 and pAK8) recovered from the seven positive clones contained genes identical to those encoding the glycerol dehydratase of Citrobacter freundii and were not studied further. The remaining five plasmids (pAK2 to -5 and pAK7) contained two complete and three incomplete dehydratase-encoding gene regions, which were similar to the corresponding regions of enteric bacteria. Three (pAK2, -3, and -7) coded for glycerol dehydratases and two (pAK4 and -5) coded for diol dehydratases. We were able to perform high-level production and purification of three of these dehydratases. The glycerol dehydratases purified from E. coli Bl21/pAK2.1 and E. coli Bl21/pAK7.1 and the complemented hybrid diol dehydratase purified from E. coli Bl21/pAK5.1 were subject to suicide inactivation by glycerol and were cross-reactivated by the reactivation factor (DhaFG) for the glycerol dehydratase of C. freundii. The activities of the three environmentally derived dehydratases and that of glycerol dehydratase of C. freundii with glycerol or 1,2-propanediol as the substrate were inhibited in the presence of the glycerol fermentation product 1,3-propanediol. Taking the catalytic efficiency, stability against inactivation by glycerol, and inhibition by 1,3-propanediol into account, the hybrid diol dehydratase produced by E. coli Bl21/pAK5.1 exhibited the best properties of all tested enzymes for application in the biotechnological production of 1,3-propanediol. 相似文献

The propanediol utilization (pdu) operon of Salmonella typhimurium encodes proteins required for the catabolism of propanediol, including a coenzyme B12-dependent propanediol dehydratase. A clone that expresses propanediol dehydratase activity was isolated from a Salmonella genomic library. DNA sequence analysis showed that the clone included part of the pduF gene, the pduABCDE genes, and a long partial open reading frame (ORF1). The clone included 3.9 kbp of pdu DNA which had not been previously sequenced. Complementation and expression studies with subclones constructed via PCR showed that three genes (pduCDE) are necessary and sufficient for propanediol dehydratase activity. The function of ORF1 was not determined. Analyses showed that the S. typhimurium propanediol dehydratase was related to coenzyme B12-dependent glycerol dehydratases from Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Unexpectedly, the S. typhimurium propanediol dehydratase was found to be 98% identical in amino acid sequence to the Klebsiella oxytoca propanediol dehydratase; this is a much higher identity than expected, given the relationship between these organisms. DNA sequence analyses also supported previous studies indicating that the pdu operon was inherited along with the adjacent cobalamin biosynthesis operon by a single horizontal gene transfer. 相似文献

The holoenzyme of adenosylcobalamin-dependent ethanolamine ammonia lyase undergoes suicidal inactivation during catalysis as well as inactivation in the absence of substrate. The inactivation involves the irreversible cleavage of the Co-C bond of the coenzyme. We found that the inactivated holoenzyme undergoes rapid and continuous reactivation in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, and free adenosylcobalamin in permeabilized cells (in situ), homogenate, and cell extracts of Escherichia coli. The reactivation was observed in the permeabilized E. coli cells carrying a plasmid containing the E. coli eut operon as well. From coexpression experiments, it was demonstrated that the eutA gene, adjacent to the 5' end of ethanolamine ammonia lyase genes (eutBC), is essential for reactivation. It encodes a polypeptide consisting of 467 amino acid residues with predicted molecular weight of 49,599. No evidence was obtained that shows the presence of the auxiliary protein(s) potentiating the reactivation or associating with EutA. It was demonstrated with purified recombinant EutA that both the suicidally inactivated and O2-inactivated holoethanolamine ammonia lyase underwent rapid reactivation in vitro by EutA in the presence of adenosylcobalamin, ATP, and Mg2+. The inactive enzyme-cyanocobalamin complex was also activated in situ and in vitro by EutA under the same conditions. Thus, it was concluded that EutA is the only component of the reactivating factor for ethanolamine ammonia lyase and that reactivation and activation occur through the exchange of modified coenzyme for free intact adenosylcobalamin. 相似文献

Resolution of the coenzyme B-12-dependent dehydratases of Klebsiella sp. and Citrobacter freundii. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Diol dehydratase (1,2-propanediol hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.28) and glycerol dehydratase (glycerol hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.30) are shown to be distinct, separable enzymes that occur individually or together in different strains of Klebsiella sp. Anaerobic growth with propan-1,2-diol induces diol dehydratase alone, whereas glycerol fermentation induces both enzymes in K. pneumoniae ATCC 25955 and in Citrobacter freundii NCIB 3735. The dehydratases can be resolved by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis or separated by anion-exchange chromatography alone. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation failed to distinguish the enzymes and indicated a molecular weight of 1.9 . 10(5) for both. The enzymes can be assayed individually, even when present in the same crude extract, using the 67-fold difference in their Km values for coenzyme B-12. For both enzymes inactivation kinetics are observed with glycerol as substrated, and monovalent cations influence both the inactivation rate and catalytic rate of the reaction. 相似文献

The reactions of diol dehydratase with 3-unsaturated 1,2-diols and thioglycerol were investigated. Holodiol dehydratase underwent rapid and irreversible inactivation by either 3-butene-1,2-diol, 3-butyne-1,2-diol or thioglycerol without catalytic turnovers. In the inactivation, the Co-C bond of adenosylcobalamin underwent irreversible cleavage forming unidentified radicals and cob(II)alamin that resisted oxidation even in the presence of oxygen. Two moles of 5'-deoxyadenosine per mol of enzyme was formed as an inactivation product from the coenzyme adenosyl group. Inactivated holoenzymes underwent reactivation by diol dehydratase-reactivating factor in the presence of ATP, Mg(2+) and adenosylcobalamin. It was thus concluded that these substrate analogues served as mechanism-based inactivators or pseudosubstrates, and that the coenzyme was damaged in the inactivation, whereas apoenzyme was not damaged. In the inactivation by 3-unsaturated 1,2-diols, product radicals stabilized by neighbouring unsaturated bonds might be unable to back-abstract the hydrogen atom from 5'-deoxyadenosine and then converted to unidentified products. In the inactivation by thioglycerol, a product radical may be lost by the elimination of sulphydryl group producing acrolein and unidentified sulphur compound(s). H(2)S or sulphide ion was not formed. The loss or stabilization of product radicals would result in the inactivation of holoenzyme, because the regeneration of the coenzyme becomes impossible. 相似文献

The behavior of two coenzyme analogs, [(5-aden-9-yl)methoxyethyl] cob (III) alamin and [(5-aden-9-yl)pentyl] cob (III) alamin modified at the nucleoside ligand sugar moiety was studied in the system of adenosyl-cobalamin-dependent glycerol dehydratase from Aerobacter aerogenes. It was shown that neither of the analogs possesses coenzyme properties and that both are strong competitive inhibitors for adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl). The affinity of the two analogs for the apoenzyme is higher than that of AdoCbl. The data obtained are indicative of the essential role of the ribofuranoside fragment of AdoCbl in the manifestation of the coenzyme activity. The apoenzyme interaction with the analogs under study is discussed in terms of the Dreiding stereomodels for AdoCbl and its analogs. 相似文献

Glycerol dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.30), as one of the key enzymes in converting glycerol to the valuable intermediate 1,3-propanediol, is important for biochemical industry. The dhaB genes encoding coenzyme B(12)-dependent glycerol dehydratase in Klebsiella pneumoniae were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. An effective co-expression system of multiple subunits protein was constructed. Heterologous expression vectors were constructed using the splicing by overlap extension-PCR technique to co-express the three subunits of the glycerol dehydratase. After induction by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside, SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that: (i) only the alpha subunit of glycerol dehydratase was expressed in direct expression system, (ii) the three subunits of glycerol dehydratase with predicted molecular massess of 64 (agr;), 22 (beta), and 16 kDa (gamma) were expressed simultaneously in co-expression system, and (iii) the fusion expression system expressed the fusion protein of 99 kDa. Enzyme assay showed that the activities of three heterologous expression products were 27.4, 2.3, and 0.2 U/mg. The highest enzyme activity was almost 17 times of that in K. pneumoniae. The recombinant enzyme was purified and biochemically characterized. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for coenzyme B(12) and 1, 2-propanediol were 8.5 nM and 1.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 8.5 and 37 degrees C. 相似文献
