A New Anthranilic Acid Hydroxylase from Aspergillus niger
نویسنده
چکیده
A new anthranilic acid hydroxylase which catalyzes the conversion of anthranilic acid to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, has been partially purified from crude extracts of the mycelial felts of Aspergillus niger, grown in the presence of anthranilic acid. Neither 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid nor salicylic acid is an intermediate in this conversion. The enzyme is stabilized by glutathione and requires substrate amounts of NADPH. The optimum pH for anthranilic acid hydroxylase activity is around 8.2. The Km values for anthranilic acid and NADPH at pH 8.2 and 30” are 0.15 and 0.16 mu, respectively. The partially purified enzyme is highly specific for anthranilic acid and does not act on related substances such as 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, salicylic acid, m-hydroxybenzoic acid, methylanthranilic acid, and ethylanthranilic acid. Cupric, mercuric, and cadmium ions have a pronounced inhibitory effect on enzyme activity. Metal-chelating agents like o-phenanthroline, cr, cr’-dipyridyl, salicylaldoxime, and diethyl dithiocarbamate also inhibit the reaction. Sulfhydryl reagents such as p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and N-ethyhnaleimide irreversibly inhibit anthranilic acid hydroxylase activity. Crude extracts of the mycelium have the ability to hydroxylate anthranilic acid to 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid in addition to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid. This activity, however, is lost on purification.

2-thio-3-aryl quinazolin-4(3H)one (1) was synthesized by reacting anthranilic acid with thiocarbamate salts of substituted aniline and carbon disulphide, which on reflux with excess of hydrazine hydrate to form 2-hydrazino quinazolin-4(3H)one derivatives (2). The reaction of (2) with variously substituted aryl aldehydes gave the corresponding hydrazones (3). Further, the cyclization of compound...

The binding of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to Aspergillus niger catalase in various ionic strengths at pH 6.4 and a temperature of 27? and 37?C has been studied over a range of SDS concentrations using equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The binding data were used and interpreted in terms of theoretical models (Scatchard Equation and Wyman Binding Potential). ...
