Modification of Escherichia coli DNA ligase by cleavage with trypsin.

چکیده
Limited treatment of Escherichia coli DNA ligase with trypsin results in rapid loss of DNA joining activity. However, the ability to react with DPN to form the covalent enzyme-AMP intermediate is unaffected. The cleaved enzyme is also unable to catalyze the formation of DNA-adenylate, the second covalent intermediate in the ligase-catalyzed reaction. These findings demonstrate that portions of the DNA ligase molecule that are required for phosphodiester bond formation are not required for at least one of the partial reactions catalyzed by this enzyme.

An Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I mutant has a compensatory mutation that alters two residues between functional domains of the DNA gyrase A protein.
Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the compensatory gyrA mutation in Escherichia coli DM750 affects DNA supercoiling by interchanging the identities of Ala-569 and Thr-586 in the DNA gyrase A subunit. These residues flank Arg-571, a site for trypsin cleavage that splits gyrase A protein between DNA breakage-reunion and DNA-binding domains. The putative interdomain locations of the DM750...

Coxiella burnetiiis an obligate and gram-negative bacteria causing query fever (Q fever) disease, despite the importance of Q fever, there is no universal vaccine against this disease. Therefore, application of the recombinant subunit vaccines which use Com1 and OmpH as immunogenic proteins can be useful in this regard. To perform the current project, Com1 an...

متن کاملOxidative modification of Escherichia coli glutamine synthetase. Decreases in the thermodynamic stability of protein structure and specific changes in the active site conformation.
Metal catalyzed oxidation of specific amino acid residues has been proposed to be an important physiological mechanism of marking proteins for proteolytic degradation. After initial oxidative inactivation of dodecameric Escherichia coli glutamine synthetase (GS), the integrity of the GS active site and protein structure was assessed by monitoring ATP binding, observing a susceptibility of GS to...
متن کاملMethionyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus: structural and functional identities with the Escherichia coli enzyme
The metS gene encoding homodimeric methionyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been cloned and a 2880 base pair sequence solved. Comparison of the deduced enzyme protomer sequence (Mr 74,355) with that of the E. coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase protomer (Mr 76,124) revealed a relatively low level (32%) of identities, although both enzymes have very similar biochemical propertie...
