Histidine decarboxylase. Purification from fetal rat liver, immunologic properties, and histochemical localization in brain and stomach.
Histidine decarboxylase from fetal rat liver was purified to near-homogeneity. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 210,000, and appears to contain two subunits with molecular weights of 145,000 and 66,000, respectively. The enzyme is inhibited by heavy metals such as Hg2+ and Zn2+ and sulfhydryl-reactive compounds such as 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid. The enzyme is partially dep...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of histidine decarboxylase from mouse kidney.
Histidine decarboxylase was purified 800-fold from the kidneys of thyroxine-treated mice. The purification procedure included precipitation of protein from a crude supernatant after heating it to 55 degrees C at pH 5.5, fractionation with (NH4)2SO4, phosphocellulose column chromatography, chromatofocusing, DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 and preparative p...
متن کاملPurification and properties of a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent histidine decarboxylase from Morganella morganii AM-15.
A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent histidine decarboxylase from Morganella morganii AM-15 was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is a tetramer (Mr 170,000) of identical subunits and binds 4 pyridoxal-P/tetramer; it is resolved by dialysis against cysteine at pH 6.8. Between pH 6.2 and 8.8, the holoenzyme shows pH-independent absorbance maxima at 333 and 416 nm. Vmax/Km is highest at pH 6.5; th...
متن کاملMammalian histidine decarboxylase: from structure to function.
Histamine is a multifunctional biogenic amine with relevant roles in intercellular communication, inflammatory processes and highly prevalent pathologies. Histamine biosynthesis depends on a single decarboxylation step, carried out by a PLP-dependent histidine decarboxylase activity (EC 4.1.1.22), an enzyme that still remains to be fully characterized. Nevertheless, during the last few years, i...
متن کاملHistidine decarboxylase in Enterobacteriaceae revisited.
With a modification of Taylor's decarboxylation broth, histidine decarboxylase was detected in Enterobacter aerogenes, Morganella morganii, Raoultella ornithinolytica, and some strains of Citrobacter youngae and Raoultella planticola. This method provides a useful confirmatory test for identification of E. aerogenes strains.
