Characterization of acetohydroxyacid synthase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) is the key enzyme in branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme activity and properties of a highly thermostable AHAS from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima is being reported. The catalytic and regulatory subunits of AHAS from T. maritima were over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant subunits were purified using a sim...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of acetohydroxyacid synthase in bacteria
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) is the key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathways of branched chain amino acids in bacteria. Since it does not exist in animal and plant cells, AHAS is an attractive target for developing antimicrobials and herbicides. In some bacteria, there is a single copy of AHAS, while in others there are multiple copies. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the origin an...
متن کاملSuicide inhibition of acetohydroxyacid synthase by hydroxypyruvate.
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (Ec 2.2.1.6) catalyses the thiamine diphosphate-dependent reaction between two molecules of pyruvate yielding 2-acetolactacte and CO2. The enzyme will also utilise hydroxypyruvate with a k(cat) value that is 12% of that observed with pyruvate. When hydroxypyruvate is the substrate, the enzyme undergoes progressive inactivation with kinetics that are characteristic of s...
متن کاملRegulation of yeast acetohydroxyacid synthase by valine and ATP.
The first step in the common pathway for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids is catalysed by acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS; EC 4.1.3.18). The enzyme is found in plants, fungi and bacteria, and is regulated by controls on transcription and translation, and by allosteric modulation of catalytic activity. It has long been known that the bacterial enzyme is composed of two types of sub...
متن کاملRole and Regulation of Sucrose-phosphate Synthase in Higher Plants.
Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS; E.C. 2.4.1.14) is the plant enzyme thought to play a major role in sucrose biosynthesis. In photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic tissues, SPS is regulated by metabolites and by reversible protein phosphorylation. In leaves, phosphorylation modulates SPS activity in response to light/dark signals and end-product accumulation. SPS is phosphorylated on multiple ser...
