Structural requirements of pyrroloquinoline quinone dependent enzymatic reactions.
On the basis of crystal structures of the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) dependent enzymes methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) and soluble glucose dehydrogenase (s-GDH), different catalytic mechanisms have been proposed. However, several lines of biochemical and kinetic evidence are strikingly similar for both enzymes. To resolve this discrepancy, we have compared the structures of these enzymes in co...

متن کاملProduction and Radioprotective Effects of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was produced by fermentation of the Methylovorus sp. MP688 strain and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, crystallization and recrystallization. The yield of PQQ reached approximately 125 mg/L and highly pure PQQ was obtained. To determine the optimum dose of PQQ for radioprotection, three doses (2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg) of PQQ were orally administrated to ...
متن کاملFactors relevant in bacterial pyrroloquinoline quinone production.
Quinoprotein content and levels of external pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) were determined for several bacteria under a variety of growth conditions. From these data and those from the literature, a number of factors can be indicated which are relevant for PQQ production. Synthesis of PQQ is only started if synthesis of a quinoprotein occurs, but quinoprotein synthesis does not depend on PQQ sy...
متن کاملPyrroloquinoline Quinone as Cofactor in Galactose Oxidase
Galactose oxidase from Dactylium dendroides was shown to contain one molecule of covalently bound pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)/enzyme molecule. From the spectroscopic characteristics reported for the enzyme forms, a mechanistic role for PQQ could be deduced. In analogy with other quinoproteins, the initial formation of a PQQ-substrate adduct is proposed. Following internal hydrogen transfer, ...
