Multienzyme Complex of Neurospora crassa EVIDENCE FROM PEPTIDE 'MAPS' FOR THE IDENTITY OF THE SUBUNITS By
نویسندگان
چکیده
crassa are catalysed by a multienzyme complex (Giles et al., 1967). If this arom multienzyme complex is purified rapidly in the presence of proteinase inhibitors, it is found to be composed of two subunits ofmol.wt. 165000 (Lumsden & Coggins, 1977; Gaertner & Cole, 1977). The genes that code for the five enzyme activities are clustered and for two of the activities allelic complementation has been observed (Giles et al., 1967). The genes for these two

Biotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a multienzyme complex in the tryptophan pathway of Neurospora crassa.
A multienzyme complex which carries out the anthranilate synthetase, N-(5’-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate isomerase and indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthetase reactions in the tryptophan pathway of NeurosPora crassa has been purified and characterized. The complex, as prepared here, is a single homogeneous protein molecule having a sedimentation coefficient of 10.3 S and a molecular weight of 240,...
متن کاملHuman-Like Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 3 from Neurospora crassa
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a key regulator of translation initiation, but its in vivo assembly and molecular functions remain unclear. Here we show that eIF3 from Neurospora crassa is structurally and compositionally similar to human eIF3. N. crassa eIF3 forms a stable 12-subunit complex linked genetically and biochemically to the 13(th) subunit, eIF3j, which in humans...
متن کاملCatalytic facilitation in vitro by two multienyzme complexes from Neurospora crassa.
The conversions of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate ‘7phosphate (DAHP) to 3-enolpyruvylshikimate 5-phosphate (ES-S-P) and of N-(5’-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate (PRanthranilate) to indole3-glycerol phosphate (InGP) are catalyzed in uifro by two multienzyme complexes from Neurospora crassa. The rates of the over-all sequential reactions catalyzed by the two complexes were found to be greater than t...
متن کاملPartial enzyme aggregates formed by pleiotropic mutants in the arom gene cluster of Neurospora crassa.
Molecular weights of enzymically active arom aggregates produced by pleiotropic and various arom-1 mutants of Neurospora crassa have been estimated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. In contrast to most single-gene mutants (which produce intact arom multienzyme aggregates of normal molecular weight- about 230,000), pleiotropic mutants that lack two or more of the five enzyme activities...
