The Conversion of Pyridoxine Phosphate into Pyridoxal Phosphate in Escherichia Coli.
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Evidence is presented for the presence of pyridoxine phosphate oxidase in aqueous extracts of Escherichia coli. Some comparison is made with pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase. 2. Isoniazid and iproniazid were found to combine with pyridoxal phosphate, but isoniazid did not combine with either pyridoxamine phosphate or pyridoxine phosphate. Both oxidase activities were somewhat inhibited by benzylamine and putrescine, but not by phenethylamine or cadaverine. 3. The significance of pyridoxine phosphate oxidase in cell metabolism is discussed.

Characterization of pyridoxine auxotrophs of Escherichia coli: P1 transduction.
Pyridoxine mutants of Escherichia coli B, previously divided into a minimum of six groups by cross-feeding tests, were characterized by transduction studies performed with phage P1bt. The results of these studies allowed division of pyridoxine mutants into five unlinked groups and set the minimum number of enzymes between pyridoxal phosphate and a metabolite common to other pathways at six or s...

Bacteriol. 92:333-337. 1966.-A pyridoxal auxotroph of Escherichia coli B produced pyridoxol and pyridoxol 5'-phosphate during starvation for pyridoxal. The identification of these compounds was made both by bioassay and by ion-exchange chromatography. Pyridoxol 5'-ph...
متن کاملConversion of vitamin B 6 compounds to active forms in the red blood cell.
In studies with pyridoxine and other B(6) compounds in blood, the active forms pyridoxal and pyridoxal phosphate were measured by differential assays using Lactobacillus casei. Red cell uptake of tritiated pyridoxine was also measured. A new metabolic pathway for conversion of pyridoxine to active forms was demonstrated in red cells. In vivo studies in normal subjects suggested that pyridoxine ...

Bacteriol. 90:431-437. 1965.-The total pyridoxine in a culture of exponentially growing Escherichia coli was 3.6 x 10(-10) moles per mg of dry cells. One-fourth of this total was present in the medium, and was at least 90% pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Both pyridoxol and pyridoxal, when ...
متن کاملInvolvement of the gapA- and epd (gapB)-encoded dehydrogenases in pyridoxal 5'-phosphate coenzyme biosynthesis in Escherichia coli K-12.
We show that epd (gapB) mutants lacking an erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P) dehydrogenase are impaired for growth on some media and contain less pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) than their epd+ parent. In contrast to a previous report, we found that gapA epd double mutants lacking the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and E4P dehydrogenases are auxotrophic for pyridoxine. Th...
