Characterization of a thermostable DNA photolyase from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB27.
The photolyase gene from Thermus thermophilus was cloned and sequenced. The characteristic absorption and fluorescence spectra of the purified T. thermophilus photolyase suggested that the protein has flavin adenine dinucleotide as a chromophore. The second chromophore binding site was not conserved in T. thermophilus photolyase. The purified enzyme showed light-dependent photoreactivation acti...
متن کاملGenome-scale metabolic network reconstruction and in silico flux analysis of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27
BACKGROUND Thermus thermophilus, an extremely thermophilic bacterium, has been widely recognized as a model organism for studying how microbes can survive and adapt under high temperature environment. However, the thermotolerant mechanisms and cellular metabolism still remains mostly unravelled. Thus, it is highly required to consider systems biological approaches where T. thermophilus metaboli...
متن کاملThe high-affinity maltose/trehalose ABC transporter in the extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27 also recognizes sucrose and palatinose.
We have studied the transport of trehalose and maltose in the thernophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27, which grows optimally in the range of 70 to 75 degrees C. The K(m) values at 70 degrees C were 109 nM for trehalose and 114 nM for maltose; also, a high K(m) (424 nM) was found for the uptake of sucrose. Competition studies showed that a single transporter recognizes trehalose, maltos...
متن کاملConstruction of a proline-producing mutant of the extremely thermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27.
Growth of Thermus thermophilus HB27 was inhibited by a proline analog, 3,4-dehydroproline (DHP). This result suggested that the gamma-glutamyl kinase (the product of the proB gene) was inhibited by feedback inhibition in T. thermophilus. DHP-resistant mutants were reported previously for Escherichia coli (A. M. Dandekar and S. L. Uratsu, J. Bacteriol. 170:5943-5945, 1988) and Serratia marcescen...
متن کاملCreation of genetic information by DNA polymerase of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus.
Genetic information encoded in a template of a genome is replicated in a complementary way by DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase with high fidelity; no creation of information occurs in this reaction unless an error occurs. We report here that DNA polymerase of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus can synthesize up to 200 kb linear double-stranded DNA in vitro in the complete absence o...
