A cyanide-aldehyde complex inhibits bacterial luciferase.
Cyanide at high (millimolar) concentrations inhibited in the in vitro Vibrio harveyi luciferase reaction. Cyanide reacted with free aldehyde to form an inhibitor. Inhibitor formation was accelerated by alkaline conditions and bovine serum albumin.
متن کاملInteraction of bacterial luciferase with aldehyde substrates and inhibitors.
Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the reaction of FMNH2, O2, and an aliphatic aldehyde to yield the carboxylic acid, FMN, water and blue-green light. The kinetics of the bacterial luciferase reaction were measured by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at pH 7 and 25 degrees C for the series of aldehydes from n-heptanal to n-undecanal. The rate of formation of the 4a-hydroperoxyflavin intermediate was ...
متن کاملAffinity labeling of the aldehyde site of bacterial luciferase.
2-Bromo[1-14C]1-decanal was synthesized as an affinity labeling probe for the aliphatic aldehyde site of Vibrio harveyi luciferase. In the presence of excess amounts of this probe, the inactivation of bacterial luciferase occurred following apparent first order kinetics. This inactivation was markedly retarded in the presence of decanal but neither butanal (a very poor aldehyde substrate) nor F...
متن کاملStructure of bacterial luciferase.
The generation of light by living organisms such as fireflies, glow-worms, mushrooms, fish, or bacteria growing on decaying materials has been a subject of fascination throughout the ages, partly because it occurs without the need for high temperatures. The chemistry behind the numerous bioluminescent systems is quite varied, and the enzymes that catalyze the reactions, the luciferases, are a l...
متن کاملCyanide-sensitive Bacterial Respiratory Systems
In previous communications (Sevag and Shelburne, 1942) it was shown that sulfonamide drugs inhibited the aerobic respiration and anaerobic glycolysis of Streptococcus pyogenes and the respiration of pneumococcus Type 1. The inhibition of respiration could take place in the absence of growth. In the presence of growth the inhibition of respiration and of growth occurred to the same relative exte...
