Cloning, expression, and characterization of a novel diketoreductase from Acinetobacter baylyi.
Reductions of carbonyl groups catalyzed by oxidoreductases are involved in all biological processes and are often a class of important biocatalyst. In this article, we report a novel enzyme designated as diketoreductase (DKR) that was able to reduce two carbonyl groups in a diketo ester to corresponding dihydroxy ester with excellent stereoselectivity. The DKR was cloned from Acinetobacter bayl...
متن کاملMicrosciadin, a New Milk-Clotting Cysteine Protease from an Endemic Species, Euphorbia microsciadia
In the present work, a new branch of biotechnological advantage of the latex of an endemic perennial plant, Euphorbia microsciadia has been introduced. A novel cysteine protease, designated as microsciadin, was purified from the latex of Euphorbia microsciadia by a combination of sequential usage of SP-Sepharose Fast Flow column in two different pHs and a final gel filtration ...
متن کاملGenetic code ambiguity confers a selective advantage on Acinetobacter baylyi.
A primitive genetic code, composed of a smaller set of amino acids, may have expanded via recursive periods of genetic code ambiguity that were followed by specificity. Here we model a step in this process by showing how genetic code ambiguity could result in an enhanced growth rate in Acinetobacter baylyi.
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a cysteine protease of freesia corms.
A protease, freesia protease (FP)-A, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from regular freesia (Freesia reflacta) corms in harvest time. The Mr of FP-A was estimated to be 24 k by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 8.0 using a casein substrate. These enzymes were strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid but not by phenylmethane-sulfonylfluoride and EDTA. These results in...
متن کاملSensitivity of an Acinetobacter baylyi mpl mutant to DNA damage.
A mutant derived from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 was isolated from a screen for genes involved in the response to DNA damage. This derivative has an insertion in the mpl gene which encodes a peptidoglycan-recycling protein. We demonstrate that the insertion renders cells sensitive to mitomycin C and to UV.
