酒色着色菌内膜系统光依赖性同化亚硒酸钠为硒半胱氨酸的研究

分离的酒色着色菌（Ｃｈｒｏｍａｔｉｕｍｖｉｎｏｓｕｍ）内膜系统在光照和Ｏ乙酰丝氨酸（ＯＡＳ）存在的条件下，能以３５９纳摩尔／毫克细菌叶绿素·小时（ｎｍｏｌ·ｍｇＢｃｈｌ－１·ｈ－１）的速度催化ＳｅＯ２－３合成硒半胱氨酸。用超声波处理的内膜系统，催化速度仅为处理前的１１％，加入谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）和还原型辅型Ⅱ（ＮＡＤＰＨ）后，其速度增加至处理前的８８３％，该反应对光具有依赖性，进一步实验表明，纯化的谷胱甘肽还原酶，在有半胱氨合酶、ＯＡＳ和ＮＡＤＰＨ共存时，能催化ＳｅＯ２－３转化为硒半胱氨酸，表明ＳｅＯ２－３在内膜系统中能被光偶联的谷胱甘肽还原酶还原为Ｓｅ２－，然后经半胱氨酸合酶的催化作用转化为硒半胱氨酸

Light-dependent incorporation of selenite into selenocysteine by isolated chromatophore of Chromatium vinosum]

Illiminated intact chromatophore of chromatium vinosum in the presence of O-acetylserine(OAS) catalysed incorporation of SeO3(2-) into selenocysteine at rate of 359 nmol.mgBchl-1.h-1. Sonicated chromatophore catalysed SeO3(2-) incorporation at 1.1% of the rate of intact chromatophore. Addition of GSH and NADPH increased the rate to 88.3% of intact rate, but SeO3(2-) incorporation under these conditions was essentially light dependent. The purified GSH reductase from Chromatium vinosum in the presence of cysteine synthase OAs and NADPH catalysed incorporation of SeO3(2-) into selenocysteine. It is proposed that SeO3(2-) is reduced by light-coupled GSH reductase and that Se2- produced is incorporated into selenocysteine by cysteine synthase.
