Manganese transport in Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uptake of manganese by Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872 was energy dependent and obeyed saturation kinetics (Km = 0.65 microM; Vmax = 0.12 mumol/min per g [dry weight]). Uptake showed optima at 27 degrees C and pH 9.5. 54Mn2+ accumulated by the cells was released by treatment with toluene or by exchange for unlabeled manganese ions, via an energy-dependent process. Co2+, Fe2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+ inhibited manganese uptake. Inhibition by Cd2+ and Zn2+ was competitive (Ki = 0.15 microM Cd2+ and 1.2 microM Zn2+). Experiments with 65Zn2+ provided no evidence for Zn2+ uptake via the Mn2+ transport system.

Genomic organization of purK and purE in Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872: purE locus provides a clue for genomic evolution.
From the genomic library of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC6872, the purE locus encoding 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole (AIR) carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.21) was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. From the sequence analysis, two distinct open reading frames (ORFs) in the sequence of the purE locus were identified as purK and purE genes (purK-purE). An in vivo translation experime...
متن کاملS434F in NrdE generates the thermosensitive phenotype of corynebacterium ammoniagenes CH31 and enhances thermolability by increasing the surface hydrophobicity of the NrdE(Ts) protein.
The thermosensitive phenotype of strain CH31, a derivative of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872, was allocated by cloning, sequencing, and genetic complementation to a single C-->T exchange in the nrdE (nucleotide reduction) gene at nucleotide 1301. Protein modeling indicates the impaired surface hydrophobicity of NrdE(Ts) due to the S434F transition.
متن کاملMetabolism of pyrimidine bases and nucleosides in the coryneform bacteria Brevibacterium ammoniagenes and Micrococcus luteus.
The metabolism of exogenous pyrimidine bases and nucleosides was investigated in Brevibacterium ammoniagenes and Micrococcus luteus with fluorinated analogs and radioactive precursors. Salvage of thymine and thymidine was found in M. luteus, but not in B. ammoniagenes. Exogenous uracil or uracil nucleosides, but not cytosine or cytosine nucleosides, were nucleic acid precursors for both bacteri...
متن کاملIdentification and functional differentiation of two type I fatty acid synthases in Brevibacterium ammoniagenes.
The fatty acid synthase (FAS) from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes is a homohexameric multienzyme complex that catalyzes the synthesis of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. By immunological screening of a B. ammoniagenes expression library, an fas DNA fragment was isolated and subsequently used to clone the entire gene together with its flanking sequences. Within 10,525 bp of sequenced DNA...
متن کاملOrotate phosphoribosyltransferase from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes lacking a conserved lysine.
The pyrE gene, encoding orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase), was cloned by nested PCR and colony blotting from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872, which is widely used in nucleotide production. Sequence analysis shows that there is a lack of an important conserved lysine (Lys 73 in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium OPRTase) in the C. ammoniagenes OPRTase. This lysine has been ...
