Cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of Achromobacter protease I gene.
Achromobacter protease I (API) is a lysine-specific serine protease which hydrolyzes specifically the lysyl peptide bond. A gene coding for API was cloned from Achromobacter lyticus M497-1. Nucleotide sequence of the cloned DNA fragment revealed that the gene coded for a single polypeptide chain of 653 amino acids. The N-terminal 205 amino acids, including signal peptide and the threonine/serin...
متن کاملThe primary structure and structural characteristics of Achromobacter lyticus protease I, a lysine-specific serine protease.
The complete amino acid sequence of Achromobacter lyticus protease I (EC 3.4.21.50), which specifically hydrolyzes lysyl peptide bonds, has been established. This has been achieved by sequence analysis of the reduced and S-carboxymethylated protease and of peptides obtained by enzymatic digestion with Achromobacter protease I itself and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease and by chemical cleavage...
متن کاملPreliminary neutron diffraction analysis of challenging human manganese superoxide dismutase crystals
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are enzymes that protect against oxidative stress by dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide through cyclic reduction and oxidation of the active-site metal. The complete enzymatic mechanisms of SODs are unknown since data on the positions of hydrogen are limited. Here, methods are presented for large crystal growth and neutron data collection of...
متن کاملNeutron diffraction analysis on FINEMET alloys
Neutron diffraction has been used to study in situ the nanocrystallization process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si22.52xBx (x55, 9, and 12! amorphous alloys. Nanocrystallization results in a decrease of both the silicon content and the grain size of the Fe~Si! phase with increasing value of x. By comparing the radial distribution function peak areas with those predicted for ideal bcc and DO3 structure, it ca...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of a group I ribozyme from bacteriophage Twort.
Group I introns are catalytic RNAs that are capable of performing a variety of phosphotransesterification reactions including self-splicing and RNA cleavage. The reactions are efficient, accurate and dependent only on the presence of guanosine-nucleotide substrate and sufficient magnesium ion to stabilize the structure of the RNA. To understand how the group I intron active-site facilitates cat...
