The possibility that ubiquinone biosynthesis is present in rat liver peroxisomes was investigated. The specific activity of trans-prenyltransferase was 30% that of microsomes, with a pH optimum of around 8. trans-Geranyl pyrophosphate was required as a substrate and maximum activity was achieved with Mn(2+). Several detergents specifically inactivated the peroxisomal enzyme. The peroxisomal transferase is present in the luminal soluble contents, in contrast to the microsomal enzyme which is a membrane component. The treatment of rats with a number of drugs has demonstrated that the activities in the two organelles are subjected to separate regulation. Nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate transferase has about the same specific activity in peroxisomes as in microsomes and like the transferase activity, its regulation differs from the microsomal enzyme. The results demonstrate that peroxisomes are involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis, and at least two enzymes of the biosynthetic sequence are present in this organelle. 相似文献

The high and sometimes inappropriate use of antibiotics has accelerated the development of antibiotic resistance, creating a major challenge for the sustainable treatment of infections world-wide. Bacterial communities often respond to antibiotic selection pressure by acquiring resistance genes, i.e. mobile genetic elements that can be shared horizontally between species. Environmental microbial communities maintain diverse collections of resistance genes, which can be mobilized into pathogenic bacteria. Recently, exceptional environmental releases of antibiotics have been documented, but the effects on the promotion of resistance genes and the potential for horizontal gene transfer have yet received limited attention. In this study, we have used culture-independent shotgun metagenomics to investigate microbial communities in river sediments exposed to waste water from the production of antibiotics in India. Our analysis identified very high levels of several classes of resistance genes as well as elements for horizontal gene transfer, including integrons, transposons and plasmids. In addition, two abundant previously uncharacterized resistance plasmids were identified. The results suggest that antibiotic contamination plays a role in the promotion of resistance genes and their mobilization from environmental microbes to other species and eventually to human pathogens. The entire life-cycle of antibiotic substances, both before, under and after usage, should therefore be considered to fully evaluate their role in the promotion of resistance. 相似文献

An apparatus is described which is designed for preparative freeze concentration experiments by the technique of normal freezing. It has a capacity of approximately 22 liters distributed over twelve vessels. The influence of various geometrical and chemical parameters such as stirring speed, crystallization rate, and sample composition on the normal freezing of protein solutions are discussed. For dilute protein solutions (<0.1%) the concentration factor generally was 8- to 10-fold with recoveries of 90–100 percent. With higher protein concentrations and at ionic strengths higher than approximately 0.05, the recovery was decreased. No loss of activity was detected when concentrating enzyme solutions. 相似文献

Sweet potato β-amylase (α-1,4 glucan maltohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.2) was immobilized through adsorption onto an agarose gel to which nonpolar side chains had been introduced via ether bridges. The adsorbent showed evidence of saturation at an enzyme content of 35 mg per milliliter of packed gel. The adsorption was rapid and yielded a product whose operational stability depended on the initial content of β-amylase. Activity leakage was low. The relative activity of immobilized enzyme was inversely related to the amount of enzyme adsorbed to a given gel volume, having a maximal value of around 50% at low enzyme contents. 相似文献
