Cloning, expression, and characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase.
The gene for dihydrofolate reductase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain genomic DNA. The protein was expressed in inclusion bodies in high yield in Escherichia coli under the control of the T7 promoter. Active enzyme was obtained by refolding from guanidine HCl and after a single chromatography step the sample was > 9...
متن کاملKinetic mechanism of pulmonary carbonyl reductase.
The kinetic mechanism of guinea-pig lung carbonyl reductase was studied at pH 7 in the forward reaction with five carbonyl substrates and NAD(P)H and in the reverse reaction with propan-2-ol and NAD(P)+. In each case the enzyme mechanism was sequential, and product-inhibition studies were consistent with a di-iso ordered bi bi mechanism, in which NAD(P)H binds to the enzyme first and NAD(P)+ le...
متن کاملLactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase
1 The binding of a series of amide derivatives of methotrexate to Lactobacillus casei dihydrofolate reductase has been studied by inhibition constant measurements and by 'H n.m.r. spectroscopy. 2 Amide modification of the a-carboxylate of methotrexate was found to prevent interaction of the y-carboxylate with the imidazole of His 28. 3 Estimates of the contributions to the binding energy from t...
متن کاملEffects of 5-fluorouracil on dihydrofolate reductase and dihydrofolate reductase mRNA from methotrexate-resistant KB cells.
Growth of methotrexate-resistant dihydrofolate reductase gene-amplified KB cells in the presence of 5-fluorouracil results in an increase in dihydrofolate reductase mRNA. This increase can be solely attributed to a species of RNA of approximately 3.5 kilobase pairs in size. Although dihydrofolate reductase enzyme activity increases per cell with increasing 5-fluorouracil, there is a decrease of...
متن کاملGenetic mutations in 57 and 58 codons gene of Plasmodium vivax dihydrofolate reductase
Introduction: The use of Sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine (SP) for treatment of vivax malaria is not common in most of malarious areas because of sensivity of this parasite to chloroquine. But, Plasmodium vivax isolates are exposed to SP because of mixed infection with P.falciparum and this subject has lead to emergence of mutations in P.vdhfr gene. As Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent specie...
