چکیده

Cell-free extracts from Escherichia coli cleave the thioether linkage of S-ribosylhomocysteine and generate free homocysteine. Homocysteine was quantitatively recovered from reaction mixtures by ion exchange chromatography on Amberlite CG-120 resin. Free ribose was not a product of this cleavage; however, a compound initially derived from the ribose moiety of S-ribosylhomocysteine has been isolated by chromatography on Dowex l-X8 resin but has not been fully characterized. A 15-fold purification of the cleavage enzyme has been achieved by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, and ethyl alcohol precipitation. The thioether linkage of S-adenosylhomocysteine also was cleaved by crude cell-free extracts of E. coli. However, the ratio of specific activities, obtained with S-ribosylhomocysteine and S-adenosylhomocysteine as substrates during the purification procedure, showed the necessity for cleavage of the glycosyl bond of S-adenosylhomocysteine prior to cleavage of the thioether linkage. The pH optimum for stability of the S-ribosylhomocysteine cleavage enzyme is 7.6 with 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer, and the Michaelis constant is 1.94 X 10m3 M for S-ribosylhomocysteine.

Opposite effects of cefoperazone and ceftazidime on S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase/autoinducer-2 quorum sensing and biofilm formation by an Escherichia coli clinical isolate

To investigate the effects of subminimum inhibitory concentrations of cephalosporins on bacterial biofilm formation, the biofilm production of 52 Escherichia (E.) coli strains was examined following treatment with cephalosporin compounds at 1/4 minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Ceftazidime (CAZ) inhibited biofilm formation in seven isolates, while cefoperazone (CFP) enhanced biofilm for...

Cloning and optimization of phytase enzyme gene expression in Escherichia coli

Introduction Phytase is an enzyme that has the ability to break down phytic acid into myoinositol and mineral phosphate, and widely uses as an additive in animal foods. The aim of this study was to achieve a high level of bacterial phytase expression in PET26b expression host. Materials and Methods To generate the recombinant phytase enzyme, the target gene was introduced into the expression ...
