Preliminary crystallographic data for the thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase from brewers' yeast.
Single crystals of the thiamin diphosphate (the vitamin B1 coenzyme)-dependent enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1) from brewers' yeast have been grown using polyethylene glycol as a precipitating agent. Crystals of the homotetrameric version alpha 4 of the holoenzyme are triclinic, space group P1, with cell constants a = 81.0, b = 82.4, c = 116.6 A, alpha = 69.5 beta = 72.6, gamma = 62.4...
متن کاملRegulating Pyruvate Decarboxylase Synthesis in Yeast
Mutants lacking pyruvate decarboxylase cannot grow on glucose. We have isolated three different complementation groups of extragenic suppressors that suppress mutations in pdc2, a regulatory locus required for the synthesis of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase. The most frequent of these is a recessive mutation in the structural gene PFKl of the soluble phosphofructokinase. The other...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the pyruvate decarboxylase reaction in yeast glycolysis.
Six different pyruvate decarboxylase mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated. They belong to two unlinked complementation groups. Evidence is presented that one group is affected in a structural gene. The fact that five of the six mutants had residual pyruvate decarboxylase activity provided the opportunity for an intensive physiological characterization. It was shown that the loss of...
متن کاملCholine Kinase from Brewers’ Yeast
Choline kinase was purified approximately 300-fold, in 5% yield, from an autolysate of dried brewers’ yeast. A molecular weight of 67,000 was estimated using a Stokes radius of 33 A, as determined by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. An s~,,,~ of 4.8 S was obtained by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Enzyme activity was diminished by sulfhydryl inhibitors and stabilized by the presence of ...
متن کاملPseudoporphyria associated with consumption of brewers' yeast.
A case of pseudoporphyria associated with excessive consumption of brewers ' yeast was studied. Detailed analysis of the yeast tablets by high performance liquid chromatography showed the presence of dicarboxylic deuteroporphyrin , mesoporphyrin, and protoporphyrin; coproporphyrin I and III isomers; and uroporphyrin I and III isomers. The faecal porphyrin concentration of the patient taking yea...
