Norton, J. E. (University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City), and J. R. Sokatch. Oxidation of d- and l-valine by enzymes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. Bacteriol. 92:116-120. 1966.-Cell-free extracts prepared from Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on dl-valine catalyzed the consumption of oxygen with several d-amino acids, but not with the corresponding l-amino acids. The product of d-valine oxidation was identified as 2-oxoisovalerate by the preparation and characterization of 2-oxoisovalerate 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. The enzyme catalyzing d-amino acid oxidation was present in extracts of cells grown on valine, but not on glucose, had a pH optimum of approximately 9.0, consumed 1 atom of oxygen per mole of keto acid produced, and was not stimulated by any of the usual electron transport cofactors. It was not possible to demonstrate either the direct oxidation of l-valine or the conversion of l- to d-valine by these enzyme preparations. However, a possible route of l-valine metabolism by transamination with 2-oxoglutarate with regeneration of the amino group acceptor by glutamate oxidation was established by identification of the transaminase and l-glutamate dehydrogenase in these enzyme preparations.

Oxidation of methylmalonate semialdehyde to propionyl coenzyme A in Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on valine.

The conversion of methyhnalonate semialdehyde to propionyl coenzyme A has been investigated with enzyme preparations made from Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on valine. A protein fraction has been obtained which catalyzes the oxidation of methylmalonate semialdehyde, acetaldehyde, and propionaldehyde with NAD as the electron acceptor. The product of methyhnalonate semialdehyde oxidation in the pr...

Regulation of valine catabolism in Pseudomonas putida.

The activities of six enzymes which take part in the oxidation of valine by Pseudomonas putida were measured under various conditions of growth. The formation of four of the six enzymes was induced by growth on d- or l-valine: d-amino acid dehydrogenase, branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase, and methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase. Branched-chain amin...

Regulation of isoleucine-valine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. I. Characterisation and mapping of mutants.

ENE loci controlling enzymes in certain biosynthetic pathways in Escherichia Gcoli and Salmonella typhiznurium have been shown to be clustered on the chromosome (AMES and MARTIN 1964; DEMEREC 1964). The gene loci in some of these clusters are coordinately controlled from an operator locus situated at one end of the cluster. Such a unit o i coordinate expression is called an operon (JACOB and MO...

The Determination of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase Enzymes Prevalence in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa using Etest and their Antibiogram Patterns in Kermanshah, Iran

Background & Aims: One of the main causes of nosocomial infection is pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenems is one of the most important classes of antibiotics used in the treatment of infections caused by this bacteria. Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production is one of the most important mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems and their increased prevalence is a serious threat to treatment of ...
