Purification and characterization of N-acetylneuraminate synthase from Escherichia coli K1-M12.

N-Acetylneuraminate (NeuAc) synthase, which catalyzes NeuAc synthesis by condensation of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), was purified from a cell extract of Escherichia coli K1-M12 to electrophoretically homogeneity by serial column chromatographies. The molecular weight of native enzyme was estimated to be 106,000 by gel filtration. After denaturation in sodium dodecyl sulfate, the molecular weight was reduced to 52,000, indicating the existence of 2 identical subunits. The optimum pH was 7.5 and the stable pH range was 7.0 to 10.0. The enzyme was thermostable up to 30 degrees C. No metal ion was required for the enzyme activity. SH-inhibitors such as p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and mercury chloride were potent inhibitors. The K(m) for ManNAc and PEP were 5.6 mM and 0.04 mM, respectively.

Oxidative stress response in yeast: purification and characterization of glutathione reductase from Hansenula mrakii.

Glutathione reductase was purified from a yeast. Hansenula mrakii IFO 0895, to approximately 3500-fold with 59% activity yield. The enzyme was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 56 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and 123 kDa by gel filtration using a calibrated Sephadex G-150 column. The Km values for glutathione disulfide and NADPH were 21.3 microM and 14.3 microM, respectively. The enzyme was most active at pH 7.5, 55 degrees C. The enzyme was stable up to 40 degrees C, and between pHs 4 and 10. The enzyme was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and metal ions such as Fe3+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+.

Purification and characterization of an NADH-rubredoxin oxidoreductase involved in the utilization of oxygen by Desulfovibrio gigas.

An NADH--rubredoxin oxidoreductase previously isolated from Desulfovibrio gigas [LeGall, J. (1968) Ann. Inst. Pasteur 114, 109-115] has now been fully purified and further characterized. It contains two subunits of 27 kDa and 32 kDa. With two mid-point redox potentials of -295 mV and -325 mV, this FMN- and FAD-containing protein can induce the specific reduction of D. gigas rubredoxin. In contrast, rubredoxins from the other Desulfovibrio species or desulforedoxin from D. gigas show very low reaction rates with the same enzyme. The phylogenetic significance of the narrow specificity of the enzyme toward the rubredoxin from the same organism is discussed. The purified enzyme has NADH oxidase activity with H2O2 as a final product of O2 reduction. The reaction is half-inhibited by 4.2 microM p-chloromercuribenzoate, whereas cyanide and azide are not significant inhibitors in this reaction. The role of this protein as a part of the enzymic equipment that allows the formation of ATP in the presence of oxygen from the degradation of carbon reserves is discussed.
