An acyloxymethyl ketone-based probe to monitor the activity of glutathionylspermidine amidase in Escherichia coli.

چکیده
Cellular redox conditions affect Gsp amidase activity in Escherichia coli. Guided by the structure and catalytic mechanism of the amidase, we designed and synthesized an acyloxymethyl ketone-based activity probe containing a biotin handle. This probe was used to monitor Gsp amidase activity in E. coli lysates that had been subjected to oxidative or methylglyoxal-induced stress.

Characterization of recombinant glutathionylspermidine synthetase/amidase from Crithidia fasciculata.
Trypanothione [N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine] is a unique metabolite found only in trypanosomatids, where it subsumes many of the functions of GSH in other organisms. In Crithidia fasciculata, two distinct ATP-dependent ligases, glutathionylspermidine synthetase (GspS; EC 6.3.1.8) and trypanothione synthetase (TryS; EC 6.3.1.9), are involved in the synthesis of trypanothione from GSH and sp...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization, and turnover of glutathionylspermidine from Escherichia coli.
Most of the spermidine in Escherichia coli is converted to glutathionylspermidine at the end of logarithmic growth. Methods are presented for the determination and isolation of glutathionylspermidine and for its characterization as y-glutamylcysteinylglycylspermidine. Isotopic experiments demonstrate that the spermidine of glutathionylspermidine is in equilibrium with free intracellular spermid...

The bifunctional trypanothione synthetase-amidase catalyzes biosynthesis and hydrolysis of the glutathione-spermidine adduct trypanothione, the principal intracellular thiol-redox metabolite in parasitic trypanosomatids. These parasites are unique with regard to their reliance on trypanothione to determine intracellular thiol-redox balance in defense against oxidative and chemical stress and to...
متن کاملThe Amidase Domain of Lipoamidase Specifically Inactivates Lipoylated Proteins In Vivo
BACKGROUND In the 1950s, Reed and coworkers discovered an enzyme activity in Streptococcus faecalis (Enterococcus faecalis) extracts that inactivated the Escherichia. coli and E. faecalis pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes through cleavage of the lipoamide bond. The enzyme that caused this lipoamidase activity remained unidentified until Jiang and Cronan discovered the gene encoding lipoamidase (...

Background and objectives: Bacteriocins are generally active antimicrobial peptides effective against bacteria closely related to the producer. Escherichia coli produce two bacteriocins: colicins and microcins. Microcin J25 (Mcc J25) is an antibacterial peptide that inhibits bacterial transcription by disrupting the nucleotide-uptake channel of bacterial RNA polymerase. The objective of this st...
