چکیده

Crystalline L-arginine deiminase of Pseudomonas putida was prepared by the following steps: sonic disruption, ammonium sulfate fractionation, protamine sulfate treatment, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and L-arginine-Sepharose 6B chromatography followed by crystallization. This procedure yields a crystalline pure enzyme with a 45% recovery of the activity in crude cell-free extracts. The yield is significantly higher than that reported for this enzyme. The purified enzyme appears to be homogeneous in ultracentrifugation (s-o20, w equals 10.2 S) and isoelectric focusing (pI equals 6.13). The purified enzyme showed two bands on disc gel electrophoresis, both carrying out the deimination of L-arginine. Electrophoresis in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol plus Na dodecyl-SO4 gave a single band (Mr, 54,000). Specific activity of this enzyme was 58.8 mumol of L-citrulline formed per min per mg of protein at 37 degrees. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was 6.0 and maximal activity was obtained at 50 degrees. The molecular weight of the native protein was 130,000 by gel filtration and 120,000 by sedimentation-equilibrium measurements. The spectrum of the pure enzyme showed absorption maximum at 280 nm and the value of E-1%-1 CM AT 280 NM WAS 10.48 IN 0.05 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The crystalline enzyme hydrolyzed several L-arginine analogues. L-Homoarginine, L-alpha-amino-gamma-guanidinobutyric acid, and L-alpha-amino-beta-guanidinopropionic acid competitively inhibited the hydrolysis of L-arginine with Ki values of 25.7, 7.5, and 4.0 times 10- minus 3 M, respectively. p-Chloromercuribenzoate, Ag-+, and Hg-2+, and several metal ions inhibited the enzyme.

Use of response surface method for maximizing the production of arginine deiminase by Pseudomonas putida

Statistically designed experiments were used to optimize the production of arginine deiminase (ADI) by Pseudomonas putida KT2440 in batch culture. A Plackett-Burman design involving eleven factors showed that ADI production was most influenced by the initial pH and the initial concentrations of glucose and yeast extract. A central composite experimental design showed that the optimal values of ...

Proteomic Analysis of Pseudomonas putida Reveals an Organic Solvent Tolerance-Related Gene mmsB

Organic solvents are toxic to most microorganisms. However, some organic-solvent-tolerant (OST) bacteria tolerate the destructive effects of organic solvent through various accommodative mechanisms. In this work, we developed an OST adapted strain Pseudomonas putida JUCT1 that could grow in the presence of 60% (v/v) cyclohexane. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to compare and analyz...

New insights on the reorganization of gene transcription in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 at elevated pressure

BACKGROUND Elevated pressure, elevated oxygen tension (DOT) and elevated carbon dioxide tension (DCT) are readily encountered at the bottom of large industrial bioreactors and during bioprocesses where pressure is applied for enhancing the oxygen transfer. Yet information about their effect on bacteria and on the gene expression thereof is scarce. To shed light on the cellular functions affecte...

Crystal structures representing the Michaelis complex and the thiouronium reaction intermediate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa arginine deiminase.

L-arginine deiminase (ADI) catalyzes the irreversible hydrolysis of L-arginine to citrulline and ammonia. In a previous report of the structure of apoADI from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the four residues that form the catalytic motif were identified as Cys406, His278, Asp280, and Asp166. The function of Cys406 in nucleophilic catalysis has been demonstrated by transient kinetic studies. In this st...
