Abstract: | Creatine amidinohydrolase (EC 3.5.3.3, creatinase) of Pseudomonas putida var. naraensis C-83 was purified by column chromatography on sarcosine-hexamethylenediamine-Sepharose and Sephadex G-200 and then crystallized in the presence of ammonium sulfate. The purified preparation appeared homogeneous on disc gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugal analysis. It was most active at pH 8 and showed a Km value of 1.33 mm for creatine. Estimation of the molecular weight by the meniscus depletion method yielded a value of 94,000. A value of 47,000 was obtained, however, by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, suggesting that the enzyme is composed of two subunits. Inhibition experiments suggested that a sulfhydryl group is closely related to the creatinase activity. |
