Partial Purification of Topoisomerase I from Mycobacterium phlei*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: DNA topoisomerases control several cellular activities by catalyzing the relaxation of superhelices, which are produced during the replication of DNA. Investigation of the inhibitory action of the candidate substances on topoisomerase activity is widely used in drug development. The purpose of this study was to purify topoisomerase I from Mycobacterium phlei, which is closely related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and investigate some of its properties.

Purification and characterization of dihydrofolate reductase from Mycobacterium phlei.
The dihydrofolate reductase from Mycobacterium phlei was purified and characterized; it has an Mr of 15 000 and a pI of 4.8. It is competitively inhibited by both methotrexate and trimethoprim, although the affinity is less than for other bacterial dihydrofolate reductases.
متن کاملMechanism of action and crystallization of lactic oxidative decarboxylase from Mycobacterium phlei.
Earlier phases of an investigation concerning the lactic oxidative decarboxylase’ from Mycobacterium phlei (1, 2) extended the initial observations of Edson (3) and Edson and Cousins (4). A similar type of enzyme, obtained from Mycobacterium avium, has been described by Yamamura et al. (5, 6). The flavoprotein character of the enzyme, as well as the absence of associated coenzymes, has been est...

A phospholipase A1 bound tightly to the membranes of Mycobacterium phlei cells was purified approximately 500fold to near homogeneity by extraction with Triton X-100, delipidation with organic solvents, solubilization with sodium dodecyl sulfate, column chromatographies on Sephadex G-200 in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and on DEAE-cellulose in the presence of BRIJ 58, and sodium dodec...
متن کاملIsolation, purification and characterization of Cardiolipin synthase from Mycobacterium phlei {PRIVATE}
It has been observed that mycobacterial species has high content of cardiolipin (CL) in their cell membranes more so pathogenic mycobacteria and in bacteria CL activates polymerases, gyrases by removing the bound ADP. Therefore, in the present study cardiolipin synthase (cls) which catalyses the formation of CL was isolated purified and characterized from the cell membrane of Mycobacterium phle...
متن کاملInactivated Mycobacterium phlei inhalation ameliorates allergic asthma through modulating the balance of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T and Th17 cells in mice
Objective(s): Th2 response is related to the aetiology of asthma, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. To address this point, the effect of nebulized inhalation of inactivated Mycobacterium phlei on modulation of asthmatic airway inflammation was investigated. Materials and Methods: 24 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group (Group A), asthma model group (G...
