Thermostable aldolase from Thermus aquaticus.
Data are presented on the purification and properties of the thermostable fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase of Thermus aquaticus, a nonsporulating, extreme thermophile. The enzyme shows little activity at temperatures below 60 C and optimal activity at about 95 C. The enzyme was purified 43-fold by diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The enzyme i...
متن کاملThe Nicastrin ectodomain adopts a highly thermostable structure.
Nicastrin is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, which is part of the high molecular weight γ-secretase complex. γ-Secretase is one of the key players associated with the generation of Alzheimer's disease pathology, since it liberates the neurotoxic amyloid β-peptide. Four proteins Nicastrin, anterior pharynx-defective-1 (Aph-1), presenilin enhancer-2 (Pen-2) and Presenilin are essential to fo...
متن کاملRandom mutagenesis improves the low-temperature activity of the tetrameric 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase from the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus tokodaii.
In general, the enzymes of thermophilic organisms are more resistant to thermal denaturation than are those of mesophilic or psychrophilic organisms. Further, as is true for their mesophilic and psychrophilic counterparts, the activities of thermophilic enzymes are smaller at temperatures that are less than the optimal temperature. In an effort to characterize the properties that would improve ...
متن کاملAn extremely thermostable aldolase from Sulfolobus solfataricus with specificity for non-phosphorylated substrates.
Sulfolobus solfataricus is a hyperthermophilic archaeon growing optimally at 80-85 degrees C. It metabolizes glucose via a novel non-phosphorylated Entner-Doudoroff pathway, in which the reversible C(6) to C(3) aldol cleavage is catalysed by 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate aldolase (KDG-aldolase), generating pyruvate and glyceraldehyde. Given the ability of such a hyperstable enzyme to catalyse carbon-...
متن کاملThe carboxyl-terminal structure of rabbit liver aldolase (aldolase B).
The amino acid residues in the carboxyl-terminal region of fructose diphosphate aldolase isolated from fresh rabbit liver are -(Gly,Phe,Leu,Ala,Thr2,Ser2)-Tyr. This differs from the carboxyl-terminal structure in aldolase isolated from tissue which had been frozen and thawed. Amino acid analyses, ultracentrifugation, and digestion with carboxypeptidase suggest that the difference is the result ...
