Tissue and intracellular distribution of rhodanese and mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase in ruminants and birds.
Cyanide detoxification is catalysed by two enzymes: rhodanese [thiosulphate: cyanide sulphurtransferase, E.C. 2.8.1.1], and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase [3-MST, EC. 2.8.1.2]. In the present work, the activity of the two enzymes in the crude extracts of different tissues and in the mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of tissues from some ruminants (camels, cattle and sheep) and birds ...
متن کاملCENTA as a Chromogenic Substrate for Studying β-Lactamases
CENTA, a chromogenic cephalosporin, is readily hydrolyzed by β-lactamases of all classes except for the Aeromonas hydrophila metalloenzyme. Although it cannot practically be used for the detection of β-lactamaseproducing strains on agar plates, it should be quite useful for kinetic studies and the detection of the enzymes in crude extracts and chromatographic fractions. Nitrocefin and, to a les...
متن کاملReversible Folding of Rhodanese
For the first time completely reversible unfolding was achieved for guanidinium chloride-denatured rhodanese using a systematically defined protocol. These conditions included fl-mercaptoethanol, lauryl maltoside, and sodium thiosulfate. All components were required to get more than the previous best reactivation with lauryl maltoside of 17% (Tandon, S., and Horowitz, P. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 2...
متن کاملCrystalline beef kidney rhodanese.
Although rhodanese activity occurs in many tissues (l-3), the enzyme had been obtained in crystalline form from beef liver only (4). Beef kidney rhodanese could not be crystallized by the same procedure (5). To extend the biochemical genetic comparison reported previously (5), however, it was desired to obtain the kidney enzyme in a very high state of purity. This paper reports the purification...
متن کاملImproved Assay for Rhodanese in Thiobacillus spp.
Rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase; EC 2.8.1.1) catalyzes the conversion of thiosulfate and cyanide to thiocyanate and sulfite. Conventional rhodanese assays colorimetrically measure the formation of one or the other of the products. These assays suffer from the fact that there is significant nonbiological formation of these products in addition to the enzymatically catalyzed reac...
