Dimeric structure of nucleoside diphosphate kinase from moderately halophilic bacterium: contrast to the tetrameric Pseudomonas counterpart.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light scattering and chemical cross-linking analyses of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) from moderate halophile, Halomonas sp. 593 (HaNDK), unambiguously demonstrated that this enzyme formed a dimeric structure, in contrast to the Pseudomonas NDK (PaNDK), a nonhalophilic counterpart, and other NDKs from Gram-negative bacteria, which all formed a tetrameric structure. Comparison of HaNDK and PaNDK showed that the HaNDK was less thermally stable than the PaNDK: the optimum temperature of PaNDK enzyme activity was 20 degrees C higher than that of HaNDK. However, the HaNDK readily refolded and reassembled back to the active dimeric structure, upon heat denaturation at 0.2 M NaCl, as soon as the temperature was lowered. On the contrary, the thermally more stable PaNDK was irreversibly denatured at its melting temperature.

Kinetics of bacterial growth and protease production were monitored on a novel isolated moderately halophilic bacterium, Salinivibrio sp. strain MS-7, and maximum growth and protease activity was achieved after 48 hours at 30°C and 180 rpm. To determine the effect of various carbon sources on protease production, glucose, lactose, sucrose and maltose were investigated and maximum production of...

Protein-solvent interactions govern the behaviors of proteins isolated from extreme halophiles. In this work, we compared the solvent envelopes of two orthologous tetrameric malate dehydrogenases (MalDHs) from halophilic and non-halophilic bacteria. The crystal structure of the MalDH from the non-halophilic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus (Ca MalDH) solved, de novo, at 1.7 Å resolution exhib...

Toxic heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are widely used in industry and their accumulation in the living tissues may cause serious health problems and ecological hazards. Twenty four moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from saline environments of Iran were used to study their ability to bioremediation of lead and cadmium. Amongst them, a Gram-negative rod shaped bacterium, de...

Generation of a wide variety of nucleoside (and deoxynucleoside) triphosphates (NTPs) from their cognate nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs) is of critical importance in virtually every aspect of cellular life. Their function is fulfilled largely by the ubiquitous and potent nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK), most commonly using ATP as the donor. Considerable interest is attached to the consequenc...
