University of Groningen Regulation of Amidase Formation in Mutants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO Lacking Glutamine Synthetase Activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of amidase was studied in mutants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO lacking glutamine synthetase activity. It appeared that catabolite repression of amidase synthesis by succinate was partially relieved when cellular growth was limited by glutamine. Under these conditions, a correlation between amidase and urease formation was observed. The results suggest that amidase formation in strain PAO is subject to nitrogen control and that glutamine or some compound derived from it mediates the nitrogen repression of amidase.

Amino acid substitution in an amidase produced by an acetanilide-utilizing mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated which grew with acetanilide (N-phenylacetamide) as the sole carbon source for growth. The mutants could also use acetanilide as a nitrogen source but grew better in the presence of ammonium salts. The acetanilide-utilizing mutants produced amidases which differed in substrate specificity and electrophoretic mobility from the wild-type A amidase an...
متن کاملDetection of Neuraminidase Activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
Objective(s) Some properties of neuraminidase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 growth in a defined medium (BHI) were examined and evaluated for its features. Materials and Methods The obtained supernatant enzyme of P. aeruginosa PAO1 cultures was used in a sensitive fluorometric assay by using 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl) a-D-N acetylneuraminic acid as substrate. As hydrolyzing MUN with ...
متن کاملCloning and DNA sequence of amiC, a new gene regulating expression of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa aliphatic amidase, and purification of the amiC product.
Using in vitro-constructed deletions and subcloned DNA fragments, we have identified a new gene, amiC, which regulates expression of the inducible Pseudomonas aeruginosa aliphatic amidase activity. The DNA sequence of the gene has been determined, and an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 385 amino acids (molecular mass, 42,834 Da) has been identified. A search of sequence libraries h...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase PvdD from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 secretes a siderophore, pyoverdine(PAO), which contains a short peptide attached to a dihydroxyquinoline moiety. Synthesis of this peptide is thought to be catalyzed by nonribosomal peptide synthetases, one of which is encoded by the pvdD gene. The first module of pvdD was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the protein product was purified. L-Threonine, one of th...
متن کاملGlutamine synthetase of pseudomonads: some biochemical and physicochemical properties.
The glutamine synthetases from several Pseudomonas species were purified to homogeneity, and their properties were compared with those reported for the enzymes from Escherichia coli and other gram-negative bacteria. The glutamine synthetase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was unique because it was nearly precipitated quantitatively as a homogeneous protein during dialysis of partially purified pre...
