Substrate specificity of an RNase III-like activity from Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SP82 codes for several early RNAs that were shown previously to be cleaved by an RNase III-like enzyme called "Bs-RNase III." Cloning of DNA fragments that encode these RNA sequences downstream of a T7 RNA polymerase promoter allowed the synthesis of substrates that were used to test the cleavage specificity of Bs-RNase III, which was purified from a protease-def...
متن کاملDual substrate specificity of Bacillus subtilis PBP4a.
Bacterial dd-peptidases are the targets of the β-lactam antibiotics. The sharp increase in bacterial resistance toward these antibiotics in recent years has stimulated the search for non-β-lactam alternatives. The substrates of dd-peptidases are elements of peptidoglycan from bacterial cell walls. Attempts to base dd-peptidase inhibitor design on peptidoglycan structure, however, have not been ...
متن کاملInteraction of structural modules in substrate binding by the ribozyme from Bacillus subtilis RNase P.
The ribozyme from bacterial ribonuclease P recognizes two structural modules in a tRNA substrate: the T stem-loop and the acceptor stem. These two modules are connected through a helical linker. The T stem-loop binds at a surface confined in a folding domain away from the active site. Substrates for the Bacillus subtilis RNase P RNA were previously selected in vitro that are shown to bind compa...
متن کاملAltering the substrate specificity of glutamate dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis by site-directed mutagenesis.
The Lys80, Gly82 and Met101 residues of glutamate dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis were mutated into a series of single mutants. The wild-type enzyme was highly specific for 2-oxoglutarate, whereas G82K and M101S dramatically switched to increased specificity for oxaloacetate with kcat values 3.45 and 5.68 s-1, which were 265-fold and 473-fold higher respectively than those for 2-oxoglutarate.
متن کاملMethylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis: substrate specificity and coenzyme A binding.
Methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (MSDH) belongs to the CoA-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase subfamily. It catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of methylmalonate semialdehyde (MMSA) to propionyl-CoA via the acylation and deacylation steps. MSDH is the only member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily that catalyzes a β-decarboxylation process in the deacylation step. Recently, we d...
