Expression of chitinase A (chiA) gene from a local isolate of Serratia marcescens in Coleoptera-specific Bacillus thuringiensis
Okay, S.; Tefon, B. E.; ÖZKAN, MELEK; Özcengiz, Gülay (Wiley, 2008-01-01)
Aims: The present study focused on cloning and expression of chiA gene from a highly chitinolytic local isolate of Serratia marcescens in an anti-Coleopteran Bacillus thuringiensis and comparison of the characteristics of the native and recombinant ChiAs.
Analysis of acyl CoA ester intermediates of the mevalonate pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Şeker, Tamay; Nielsen, J (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01)
The mevalonate pathway plays an important role in providing the cell with a number of essential precursors for the synthesis of biomass constituents. With respect to their chemical structure, the metabolites of this pathway can be divided into two groups: acyl esters [acetoacetyl CoA, acetyl CoA, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG) CoA] and phosphorylated metabolites (isopentenyl pyrophosphate, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, geranyl pyrophosphate, farnesyl pyrophosphate). In this study, we developed a method for the ...
Design of intelligent nanoparticles for use in controlled release
Bayyurt, Banu; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
The aim of this project was to design an intelligent controlled release system based on thermoresponsive nanoparticles for cancer therapy and to evaluate the efficiencies of these systems with in vitro cell culture. Poly(Nisopropylacrylamide), an important thermoresponsive polymer, was selected for this study to prepare the responsive nanoparticles. This polymer has an lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 32 oC, below which it is hydrophilic and above this temperature, it shows hydrophobic behavior...
Oxidation of phenolic compounds by the bifunctional catalase-phenol oxidase (CATPO) from Scytalidium thermophilum
Avci, Gulden Koclar; Çoruh, Nursen; Bolukbasi, Ufuk; Ogel, Zumrut B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-01-01)
The thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum produces a novel bifunctional catalase with an additional phenol oxidase activity (CATPO); however, its phenol oxidation spectrum is not known. Here, 14 phenolic compounds were selected as substrates, among which (+)-catechin, catechol, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid yielded distinct oxidation products examined by reversed-phase HPLC chromatography method. Characterization of the products by LC-ESI/MS and UV-vis spectroscopy suggests the formation of dime...
Purification, characterization, and identification of a novel bifunctional catalase-phenol oxidase from Scytalidium thermophilum
Kocabas, Didem Sutay; Bakir, Ufuk; Phillips, Simon E. V.; McPherson, Michael J.; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01)
A novel bifunctional catalase with an additional phenol oxidase activity was isolated from a thermophilic fungus, Scytalidium thermophilum. This extracellular enzyme was purified ca. 10-fold with 46% yield and was biochemically characterized. The enzyme contains heme and has a molecular weight of 320 kDa with four 80 kDa subunits and an isoelectric point of 5.0. Catalase and phenol oxidase activities were most stable at pH 7.0. The activation energies of catalase and phenol oxidase activities of the enzyme ...
