Localization of the essential histidine and carboxylate group in D-xylose isomerases.
D-Xylose isomerases from different bacterial strains were chemically modified with histidine and carboxylate-specific reagents. The active-site residues were identified by amino acid sequence analysis of peptides recognized by differential peptide mapping on ligand-protected and unprotected derivatized enzyme. Both types of modified residues were found to cluster in a region with consensus sequ...
متن کاملDifferences in Intestinal Absorptive Capacity of Chickens for D-Xylose
Background: According to literature, there are differences among different species of animals in respect to absorption of D-xylose. OBJECTIVES: In two experiments, the differences that might exist in absorptive capacity of small intestine for D-xylose, in different types of chicken were tested. METHODS: In experiment one, 2 groups of nine adult layer type males (48 weeks) and females (58 weeks)...
متن کاملAn essential histidine residue required for fatty acylation and acyl transfer by myristoyltransferase from luminescent bacteria.
The lux-specific acyltransferases are serine esterases responsible for preferential diversion of myristic acid from fatty acid biosynthesis to the luminescent system. In contrast to other acyltransferases, an acylated enzyme intermediate can readily be detected making it ideal for the study of the mechanism of acyl transfer. Although the transferase readily cleaves acyl carrier protein and acyl...
متن کاملAn essential histidine residue for the activity of UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis.
UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis was completely inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate following pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The pH profile of diethylpyrocarbonate inhibition and reversal of inhibition by hydroxylamine suggested specific modification of histidyl residues. Statistical analysis of the residual enzyme activity and the extent of modification indicated modif...
متن کاملEvidence of a critical histidine residue in soluble aspartic aminotransferase.
Photooxidation of extramitochondrial cy-aspartate aminotransferase in the presence of methylene blue or Rose bengal leads to a loss of enzymatic activity which follows fist order kinetics. Amino acid analysis shows that histidine is the only amino acid residue significantly affected by photooxidation. Of the 8 hi&dine residues present in the enzyme monomer, 2 are oxidized rapidly at a rate iden...
