Abstract:
The increase in enzyme inhibition developed during prolonged incubation of an enzyme preparation with a chemical substance may be associated with both the non-covalent and also with covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex formation. The latter case involves catalytic conversion of a mechanism-based irreversible inhibitor (a poor substrate) into a reactive species forming covalent adduct(s) with the enzyme and thus irreversibly inactivating the enzyme molecule. Using a simple approach, based on comparison of enzyme inhibition after preincubation with a potential inhibitor at 4ºC or 37ºC we have analy

ABSTRACTXylulose 5-phosphate/fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase (Xfp), which catalyzes the conversion of xylulose 5-phosphate (X5P) or fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to acetyl phosphate, plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism in a number of bacteria. Recently, we demonstrated that the fungalCryptococcus neoformansXfp2 exhibits both substrate cooperativity for all substrates (X5P, F6P, and Pi) and allosteric regulation in the forms of inhibition by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), oxaloacetic acid (OAA), and ATP and activation by AMP (K.

Abstract:
Xylan, a prominent component of cellulosic biomass, has a high potential for degradation into reducing sugars, and subsequent conversion into bioethanol. This process requires a range of xylanolytic enzymes. Among them, β-xylosidases are crucial, because they hydrolyze more glycosidic bonds than any of the other xylanolytic enzymes. They also enhance the efficiency of the process by degrading xylooligosaccharides, which are potent inhibitors of other hemicellulose-/xylan-converting enzymes. On the other hand, the β-xylosidase itself is also inhibited by monosaccharides that may be generated in

PS (phosphatidylserine) in mammalian cells is synthesized by two distinct base-exchange enzymes, PSS1 (PS synthase 1) and PSS2, which are responsible for the conversion of PC (phosphatidylcholine) and PE (phosphatidylethanolamine) respectively into PS in intact cells. The PS synthesis in cultured mammalian cells is inhibited by exogenous PS, and this feedback control occurs through inhibition of PSSs by PS. In the present study, we purified epitope-tagged forms of human PSS1 and PSS2. The purified PSS2 was shown to catalyse the conversion of PE, but not PC, into PS, this being consistent with

The steric conversion of 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cRA) to all-trans-retinoic acid (t-RA) has been proposed as an activation mechanism for the observed therapeutic and teratogenic activities of 13-cRA. Here we have investigated the catalysis of isomerization of 13-cRA to t-RA by recombinant human glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Substrate was incubated with GST in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, at 37 °C in total darkness. The t-RA generated was measured quantitatively by HPLC. Under the reaction conditions used, GSTP1–1 was far more effective than human GSTM1–1 or human GSTA1–1 in cat

Removing alkali-soluble lignin using extractive ammonia (EA) pretreatment of corn stover (CS) is known to improve biomass conversion efficiency during enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, we investigated the effect of alkali-soluble lignin on six purified core glycosyl hydrolases and their enzyme synergies, adopting 31 enzyme combinations derived by a five-component simplex centroid model, during EA-CS hydrolysis.

Abstract:
The HARO7 gene of the methylotrophic, thermotolerant yeast Hansenula polymorpha was cloned by functional complementation. HARO7 encodes a monofunctional 280-amino-acid protein with chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5) activity that catalyzes the conversion of chorismate to prephenate, a key step in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. The HARO7 gene product shows strong similarities to primary sequences of known eukaryotic chorismate mutase enzymes.

Although these methods are sensitive, they are all discontinuous and therefore time-consuming and laborious.

M. tuberculosis genes encoding RmlA, RmlC, and RmlD have been identified and expressed inEscherichia coli.

As assessed by incorporation into liposomes and by adsorption to octyl-Sepharose, the integrity of the membrane anchor for the purified tetrameric forms of alkaline phosphatase from human liver and placenta was intact. Any treatment that resulted in a dimeric enzyme precluded incorporation and adsorption. An intact anchor also allowed incorporation into red cell ghosts. The addition of hydrophobic proteins inhibited incorporation into liposomes to varying degrees. Alkaline phosphatase was 100% releasable from liposomes and red cell ghosts by a phospholipase C specific for phosphatidylinositol.

To increase the signal-to-background ratio, HTS is often performed at higher than 10% substrate conversion.
