Isolation and characterization of valine dehydrogenase from Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Evidence for the Essential Arginine and Histidine Residues in Catalytic Activity of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from Streptomyces aureofaciens

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was purified from Streptomyces aureofaciens and inactivated with butanedione and diethylpyrocarbonate. Incubation of the enzyme with butanedione resulted in a rapid activity loss (80%) within 5 min, followed by a slow phase using a molar ratio to enzyme concentration of 100. Fluorescence studies showed a conformational change in the butanedione-modified ...

REASSOCIATION AND REACTIVATION OF GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM STREPTOMYCES AUREOFACIENS AFTER DENATURATION BY 6 M UREA

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) from Streptomyces aureofaciens was purified and denatured in 6 M urea. Denaturation led to complete dissociation of the enzyme into its inactive monomers, 98% loss of the enzyme activity, about 30% decrease in the protein fluorescence and a 10 nm red shift in the emission maximum. Dilution of urea-denatured enzyme resulted in regaining of the enzyme acti...

Isolation and characterization of a phage active against streptomyces griseus

Isolation of pure anhydrotetracycline oxygenase from Streptomyces aureofaciens.

Anhydrotetracycline oxygenase was purified to homogeneity from Streptomyces aureofaciens, a producer of tetracycline. The enzyme was purified 60-fold in a 40% yield by a two-step procedure using a combination of hydrophobic chromatography and ion-exchange h.p.l.c. Purified anhydrotetracycline oxygenase was homogeneous according to SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, io...

Genetic Recombination in Crosses Between Streptomyces aureofaciens and Streptomyces rimosus.

Polsinelli, M. (University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy), and Maria Beretta. Genetic recombination in crosses between Streptomyces aureofaciens and Streptomyces rimosus. J. Bacteriol. 91:63-68. 1966.-Biochemical mutants were obtained from Streptomyces rimosus and S. aureofaciens by ultraviolet irradiation. Crosses were performed between auxotrophic strains of S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens with posit...
