Redox-switch regulatory mechanism of thiolase from Clostridium acetobutylicum
Thiolase is the first enzyme catalysing the condensation of two acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) molecules to form acetoacetyl-CoA in a dedicated pathway towards the biosynthesis of n-butanol, an important solvent and biofuel. Here we elucidate the crystal structure of Clostridium acetobutylicum thiolase (CaTHL) in its reduced/oxidized states. CaTHL, unlike those from other aerobic bacteria such as Esch...
متن کاملButyrate kinase from Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Crude extracts of Clostridium acetobutylicum contain a butyrate kinase of high specific activity (5.2 mumol/min/mg of protein). The enzyme has been purified 77-fold in a six-step procedure to a specific activity of 402 mumol/min/mg of protein. The purified butyrate kinase showed a single band with a molecular weight of 85,000 on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. Separat...
متن کاملIncorporation and distribution of selenium into thiolase from Clostridium kluyveri.
Clostridium kluyveri incorporates selenium as selenomethionine into its acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase when grown in media containing normal sulfur-to-selenium ratios. Antibodies raised against the purified enzyme permitted quantitative immunoprecipitation of thiolase from crude cell extracts and thus facilitated the systematic analysis of the effects of wide variation in sulfur-to-selenium ratios on...
متن کاملCellulolytic Activity of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Clostridium acetobutylicum NRRL B527 and ATCC 824 exhibited extracellular and cell-bound endoglucanase and cellobiase activities during growth in a chemically defined medium with cellobiose as the sole source of carbohydrate. For both strains, the endoglucanase was found to be mainly extracellular (70 to 90%) during growth in continuous or batch cultures with the pH maintained at 5.2, whereas t...
متن کاملThe amylase of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The purification and concentration of enzymes by adsorption on charcoal, tannin, aluminum hydroxide, ion exchange resins, and so forth, has been an established practice in the laboratory. Some years before this work was done in 1949, alkali-cooked lignin was used as an adsorbent for mold and malt amylase (Wallerstein et al., 1945). In this paper is described our study of the adsorption of the a...
