Human triose-phosphate isomerase deficiency: a single amino acid substitution results in a thermolabile enzyme.
Triose-phosphate isomerase (TPI; D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1) deficiency is a recessive disorder that results in hemolytic anemia and neuromuscular dysfunction. To determine the molecular basis of this disorder, a TPI allele from two unrelated patients homozygous for TPI deficiency was compared with an allele from a normal individual. Each disease-associated sequenc...
متن کاملTriose-phosphate isomerase (TIM) of the psychrophilic bacterium Vibrio marinus. Kinetic and structural properties.
The purification and characterization of triose-phosphate isomerase from the psychrophilic bacterium Vibrio marinus (vTIM) is described. Crystal structures of the vTIM-sulfate complex and the vTIM-2-phosphoglycolate complex (at a 2.7-A resolution) are also presented. The optimal growth temperature of Vibrio marinus is 15 degrees C. Stability studies show that vTIM is an unstable protein with a ...
متن کاملUtilization of glucose by Clostridium thermocellum: presence of glucokinase and other glycolytic enzymes in cell extracts.
Clostridium thermocellum was shown to ferment glucose in a medium containing salts and 0.5% yeast extract. An active glucokinase was obtained with improved conditions for growth, assay, and preparation of cell extracts. Cell extracts appear to contain a glucokinase inhibitor that interferes with the assays at high protein concentrations. Glucokinase activity is stimulated about 60% by pretreatm...
متن کاملTertiary structure and characterization of a glycoside hydrolase family 44 endoglucanase from Clostridium acetobutylicum.
A gene encoding a glycoside hydrolase family 44 (GH44) protein from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was synthesized and transformed into Escherichia coli. The previously uncharacterized protein was expressed with a C-terminal His tag and purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. Crystallization and X-ray diffraction to a 2.2-A resolution revealed a triose phosphate i...
متن کاملDetection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in pig feces by PCR
Clostridium difficile is considered an important uncontrolled cause of neonatal diarrhea. Also, the presence of bacteria in the feces of the animal could represent a zoonosic risk for the contamination of meat products. Therefore, it is necessary to have procedures available for the early detection of C. difficile in animals. The current study describes a new semi-automated procedure for the re...
