The pyruvate formate-lyase system of Streptococcus faecalis. I. Purification and properties of the formate-pyruvate exchange enzyme.
The enzyme exchanging formate with the carboxyl of pyruvate was purified 195-fold from extracts of Streptococcus fuecalis by a procedure involving protamine treatment, dialysis, and gradient centrifugation. Centrifugation of protamine-treated extract in a 10 to 40% potassium tartrate gradient provided a 65-fold purhication and separated the exchange enzyme from pyruvate decarboxylase, acetolact...
متن کاملCloning and sequence analysis of the pfl gene encoding pyruvate formate-lyase from Streptococcus mutans.
We have isolated a sorbitol-negative mutant of Streptococcus mutans GS-5 following random mutagenesis with plasmid pVA891 clone banks. This mutant did not metabolize sorbitol anaerobically but did so aerobically. A 10-kb chromosomal DNA fragment flanking the pVA891 insertion was deleted in this mutant. The corresponding region from the parental strain GS-5 was then recovered by a marker rescue ...
متن کاملPurification of pyruvate formate-lyase from Streptococcus mutans and its regulatory properties.
Pyruvate formate-lyase (EC 2.3.1.54) from Streptococcus mutans strain JC2 was purified in an anaerobic glove box, giving a single band on disk and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. This enzyme was immediately inactivated by exposure to the air. Enzyme activity was unstable even when stored anaerobically, but the activity was restored by preincubating the inactivated crude enzyme with S-ad...
متن کاملAltered fermentative metabolism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants lacking pyruvate formate lyase and both pyruvate formate lyase and alcohol dehydrogenase.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, often experiences hypoxic/anoxic soil conditions that activate fermentation metabolism. We isolated three Chlamydomonas mutants disrupted for the pyruvate formate lyase (PFL1) gene; the encoded PFL1 protein catalyzes a major fermentative pathway in wild-type Chlamydomonas cells. When the pfl1 mutants were subjected to dark fermentative condit...

Bacteriol. 87:97-103. 1964.-A factor present in plant and animal sources was found necessary for the incorporation of formate-C(14) into pyruvate by Streptococcus faecalis 10Cl. Yeast extract produced a response linear...
