چکیده
A d-glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase from Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores was partially purified to a specific activity of 2.41 IU per mg of protein. Its pH optimum was 8.05 and its K(m) values were 2.4 x 10(-4) M d-glucosamine 6-phosphate and 0.38 x 10(-4) M Na(3)S-acetyl coenzyme A.

The first enzyme of the pathway for uridine diphosphate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (UDPAG) biosynthesis i.e. L-glutamine: D-fructose 6-P amidotransferase (E.C. 2.6.1.16) was purified 52-fold from human placenta using methanol fractionation and column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The enzyme showed optimal activity in a broad range of pH from 5.8 to 7.8 in both phosphate and cacodylate ...

l-Glutamine d-fructose 6-phosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) was extracted and purified 600-fold by acetone fractionation and diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography from mung bean seeds (Phaseolus aureus). The partially purified enzyme was highly specific for l-glutamine as an amide nitrogen donor, and l-asparagine could not replace it. The enzyme showed a pH optimum in the rang...
متن کاملFructose 2,6-bisphosphate and carbohydrate metabolism during the life cycle of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii.
Removal of the growth medium and resuspension of Blastocladiella emersonii vegetative cells in a sporulation medium resulted in an abrupt fall of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration to about 2% of its initial value within 10 min. The concentrations of hexose 6-phosphate and of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate also decreased by, respectively, three and tenfold over the same period. All these values...
متن کاملIonic control of germination of Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores.
Encystment and germination of Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores involve a rapid and radical transformation of the motile but nongrowing spore into a sessile, growing germling. Certain inorganic ions, notably 50 mM KCl, are efficient inducers of germination. By use of the carbocyanine dye DiO-C6-(3), we found that KCl depolarizes the plasma membrane of zoospores and noted good correlation betw...
