Characterization of three-fraction mycobacillin synthetase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycobacillin synthetase lacks aspartic acid racemase, alanine racemase and glutamic acid racemase activities. The enzyme also does not respond to ATP-[32P]Pi exchange, nor does it catalyse the antibiotic synthesis in presence of amino acids of configuration opposite to that present in the molecule. Preincubation with optical isomers of opposite configuration inhibited the ATP-[32P]Pi exchange reaction to the extent of 60-90%. None of the three fractions of mycobacillin synthetase contained a pantothenic acid arm. Two molecules of ATP are required to synthesize one peptide bond of mycobacillin. Intermediate peptides of mycobacillin are not covalently linked to the three-fraction mycobacillin synthetase.

Purification of the constituent enzyme fractions of mycobacillin synthetase.
The final purification of the three-fraction enzyme complex mycobacillin synthetase was done by hydroxyapatite column chromatography and sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation; each of the fractions obtained migrates as a single component in SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and gel electrofocusing. The Mr of the enzyme fractions A, B and C by gel filtration is 260 000, 190 000 and 105 00...
متن کاملTranslocation of mycobacillin synthetase in Bacillus subtilis.
The extracellular release of mycobacillin from Bacillus subtilis first occurred in the medium at the onset of stationary phase and continued at a high rate even after 6 days. Mycobacillin synthetase activity appeared earlier than late-exponential phase in the cytosol of producer cells and was not sedimentable even at 105 000 g. The activity then quickly reached the maximum late in the stationar...

متن کاملPhysico-chemical interaction of mycobacillin with Aspergillus niger protoplast membrane, the site of its action.
Mycobacillin partially quenched the strong fluorescence when 1-anilino naphthalene 8-sulfonate (ANS) was added to protoplast or plasma membrane but is without any effect on weak fluorescence when added to cell-free extract. There are two classes of ANS binding sites on protoplast or plasma membrane of which one class is sensitive to mycobacillin, being competitively abolished by it. Mycobacilli...
متن کاملTrace element requirements of Bacillus subtilis for mycobacillin formation.
In studies on the nutritional requirements of Bacillus subtilis during mycobacillin formation in complex media, it was observed that the addition of a mixture of salts (KH2PO4, MgSO4, FeSO4, and MInSO4) to a casein hydrolyzateglucose medium greatly enhanced mycobacillin formation (AIajumdar and Bose, 1959). Reports by a number of workers (Jansen and Hirschman, 1944; Hendlin, 1949) indicate that...
