Helicobacter hepaticus causes disease in the liver and lower intestinal tract of mice. It is strongly urease positive, although it does not live in an acidic environment. The H. hepaticus urease gene cluster was expressed in Escherichia coli with and without coexpression of the Helicobacter pylori nickel transporter NixA. As for H. pylori, it was difficult to obtain enzymatic activity from reco...
The nitrogen-scavenging enzyme urease has been coopted in a variety of pathogenic organisms as a virulence factor, most notoriously to neutralize stomach acid and establish infection by the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. The opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans also utilizes urease as a virulence factor, only in this case to invade the central nervous system (CNS) via th...
A growth medium and test were developed for rapid detection of urease in fermentative anaerobic bacteria. Using nonselective rumen fluid roll-tube agar medium and the new test, it was confirmed that Peptostreptococcus productus is often the most numerous urease-forming species in human feces. Also, some fecal strains of Ruminococcus albus, Clostridium innocuum, and Clostridium beijerinckii prod...
Urease of Proteus rettgeri is an inducible enzyme synthesized specifically in the presence of urea; urea analogues did not act as inducers. Once initiated, the biosynthesis of the enzyme proceeded as a constant fraction of the total protein formed. The rate of urease formation was affected by the carbon source used. In comparison with glycerol, glucose inhibited enzyme synthesis. The addition o...
1. It has been shown that the activity of solutions of twice recrystallized urease is reversibly increased by moderate heating and reversibly decreased by storage in the cold, even in the frozen state. 2. Crude extracts of jack bean meal containing potent urease undergo this same type of reversible activation by heating and inactivation by cooling. Dilution has the same potentiating effect on t...
The nickel-containing enzymes of Helicobacter pylori, urease and hydrogenase, are essential for efficient colonization in the human stomach. The insertion of nickel into urease and hydrogenase is mediated by the accessory protein HypA. HypA contains an N-terminal nickel-binding site and a dynamic structural zinc-binding site. The coordination of nickel and zinc within HypA is known to be critic...
The soybean (Glycine max L. [Merrill]) var Itachi has 0.2 to 0.3% the urease activity found in developing embryos of a normal line, Prize. The hydroxyurea sensitivity and pH preference of this basal seed urease indicate that it represents a unique enzyme rather than an unusually low level of the normal seed urease. Itachi's seed urease is less sensitive to hydroxyurea inhibition (65-80% inhibit...
Increasing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota can be altered to ameliorate or prevent disease states, and engineering the gut microbiota to therapeutically modulate host metabolism is an emerging goal of microbiome research. In the intestine, bacterial urease converts host-derived urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide, contributing to hyperammonemia-associated neurotoxicity and encephalopa...
We previously reported a mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb), termed L2, specific for Helicobacter pylori urease strongly inhibited its enzymatic activity. Here, to gain insight into how this antibody affects urease activity, the epitope that was recognized by the antibody was determined. By screening a panel of overlapping synthetic peptides covering the entire sequence of the two subunits (UreA a...
