Functional analysis of type 1 isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase from Halobacterium sp. NRC-1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we report the characterization of the type-1 isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase derived from Halobacterium sp. NRC-1. The expressed purified enzyme showed maximum isomerase activity in the presence of 1 M NaCl at 37 degrees C at pH 6.0. This type-1 enzyme appears to be the first for which the Co2+ ion is required for activity.

Type II isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Open reading frame sll1556 in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain 6803 encodes a putative type II isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) isomerase. The His(6)-tagged protein was produced in Escherichia coli and purified by Ni(2+) chromatography. The homotetrameric enzyme required NADPH, flavin mononucleotide, and Mg(2+) for activity; K(m)(IPP) was 52 microM, and k(cat)(IPP) was 0.23 s(-1).
متن کاملThe cobY gene of the archaeon Halobacterium sp. strain NRC-1 is required for de novo cobamide synthesis.
Genetic and nutritional analyses of mutants of the extremely halophilic archaeon Halobacterium sp. strain NRC-1 showed that open reading frame (ORF) Vng1581C encodes a protein with nucleoside triphosphate:adenosylcobinamide-phosphate nucleotidyltransferase enzyme activity. This activity was previously associated with the cobY gene of the methanogenic archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicu...
متن کاملIdentification of an Archaeal type II isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase in methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus.
Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP):dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of the fundamental five-carbon homoallylic and allylic diphosphate building blocks required for biosynthesis of isoprenoid compounds. Two different isomerases have been reported. The type I enzyme, first characterized in the late 1950s, is widely distributed in eukaryota and eubacteria. The type II e...
متن کاملThe uvrA, uvrB and uvrC genes are required for repair of ultraviolet light induced DNA photoproducts in Halobacterium sp. NRC-1
BACKGROUND Sequenced archaeal genomes contain a variety of bacterial and eukaryotic DNA repair gene homologs, but relatively little is known about how these microorganisms actually perform DNA repair. At least some archaea, including the extreme halophile Halobacterium sp. NRC-1, are able to repair ultraviolet light (UV) induced DNA damage in the absence of light-dependent photoreactivation but...
متن کاملConstruction of Functional Monomeric Type 2 Isopentenyl Diphosphate:Dimethylallyl Diphosphate Isomerase.
Type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI-2) catalyzes the interconversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) in the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. The enzyme from Streptomyces pneumoniae (spIDI-2) is a homotetramer in solution with behavior, including a substantial increase in the rate of FMN reduction by NADPH in the presence...
