The primary structure of Escherichia coli K12 aspartokinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I. Site of limited proteolytic cleavage by subtilisin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sequence of the first 25 residues of the homoserine dehydrogenase fragment, produced by limited proteolysis of aspartokinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I with substilisin, has been determined. The sequence of a cyanogen bromide peptide (CB5, 59 residues), isolated from the entire protein, is also presented. Residues 1 to 18 of the subtilisin homoserine dehydrogenase fragment match the sequence 42 to 59 of peptide CB5.

Proteolysis of the bifunctional methionine-repressible aspartokinase II-homoserine dehydrogenase II of Escherichia coli K12. Production of an active homoserine dehydrogenase fragment.
The dimeric bifunctional enzyme aspartokinase II-homoserine dehydrogenase II (Mr = 2 X 88,000) of Escherichia coli K12 can be cleaved into two nonoverlapping fragments by limited proteolysis with subtilisin. These two fragments can be separated under nondenaturing conditions as dimeric species, which indicates that each fragment has retained some of the association areas involved in the conform...
متن کاملBifunctional protein in carrot contains both aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase activities.
We have purified homoserine dehydrogenase to homogeneity and subjected polypeptide fragments derived from digests of the protein to amino acid sequencing. The amino acid sequence of homoserine dehydrogenase from carrot (Daucus carota) indicates that in carrot both aspartokinase and homoserine dehydrogenase activities reside on the same protein. Additional evidence that aspartokinase and homoser...

Through the use of specific immunoadsorbent columns, it is shown that Escherichia coli aspartokinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I, aspartokinase II-homoserine dehydrogenase II, aspartokinase III, and homoserine kinase, enzymes involved in the same complex biosynthetic pathway, share antigenic determinants. This raises the question of a common origin for the four cibtenoirart kinases. (Aspartate...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the tolC gene of Escherichia coli.
The thrA gene of Escherichia coli codes for a single polypeptide chain having two enzymatic activities required for the biosynthesis of threonine, aspartokinase I and homoserine dehydrogenase I. This gene was cloned in a bacterial plasmid and its complete nucleotide sequence was established. It contains 2460 base pairs that encode for a polypeptide chain of 820 amino acids. The previously deter...
متن کاملHomoserine kinase from Escherichia coli K-12: properties, inhibition by L-threonine, and regulation of biosynthesis.
We have partially purified homoserine kinase from a genetically derepressed strain of Escherichia coli K-12. The optimum pH of the enzyme-substrate reaction was 7.8 and the K(m) values for l-homoserine and adenosine 5'-triphosphate were both 3 x 10(-4) M. K(+) (or NH(4) (+)) as well as Mg(2+) were required for its activity. The sedimentation coefficient determined by ultracentrifugation in a su...
