چکیده

Acyl carrier protein from Euglena gracilis strain Z was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular weight was estimated to be 10,400. An amino acid composition was done and related to those of similar proteins from other sources. The activity in the CO*-malonyl coenzyme A exchange reaction with fatty acid synthetase enzymes (type II) from Eugkna was less than that of Escherichiu coli acyl carrier protein.

An NADH-Dependent Acetoacetyl-CoA Reductase from Euglena gracilis: Purification and Characterization, Including Inhibition by Acyl Carrier Protein.

An NADH-dependent acetoacetyl-CoA reductase from Euglena gracilis variety bacillaris was extensively purified and characterized. Two different isoelectric forms of the reductase with identical characteristics otherwise were found. The reductase was noncompetitively inhibited by acyl carrier protein, K(i) 5.6 micromolar at pH 5.4; this inhibition decreased with increasing pH or ionic strength. C...

Fatty acid synthetases from Euglena gracilis. Separation of component activities of the ACP-dependent fatty acid synthetase and partial purification of the beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthetase.

The component enzymes of the chloroplast-associated, acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dependent, fatty acid synthetase (FAS-11) from Euglena gracilis have been independently examined by gel filtration chromatography of crude extracts from photoautotrophic cells. The acetyl coenzyme A:ACP transacylase, malonyl CoA:ACP transacylase, and /3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase activities were clearly resolved with a...

Enzymatic desaturation of stearyl acyl carrier protein.

Stearyl acyl carrier protein, chemically prepared from 1-W stearic acid and Escherichia co2i acyl carrier protein, is desaturated to oleic acid by extracts of photoauxotrophic Euglena gracilis and of spinach. The soluble stearyl acyl carrier protein desaturase system from Eug~ena has been separated into three components, a reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide oxidase, the desaturase, and a non...

Mevalonic acid kinase in Euglena gracilis.

The isolation and partial purification of mevalonic acid kinase from Euglena gracilis is described. The product of the reaction MVA-5-P has been characterized by paper chromatography. The apparent Km values for l-mevalonic acid, ATP, and Mg(2+) are 3 x 10(-5)m, 6 x 10(-3)m, and 9 x 10(-3)m, respectively. A concentration of 1 x 10(-3)mp-hydroxymercuribenzoate completely inactivates the enzyme. A...

Refolding and characterization of methionine adenosyltransferase from Euglena gracilis.

Methionine adenosyltransferase from Euglena gracilis (MATX) is a recently discovered member of the MAT family of proteins that synthesize S-adenosylmethionine. Heterologous overexpression of MATX in Escherichia coli rendered the protein mostly in inclusion bodies under all conditions tested. Therefore, a refolding and purification procedure from these aggregates was developed to characterize th...
