Catalases are common enzymes in all aerobic and many anaerobic organisms. Their main function is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Four classes of catalases have been defined including monofunctional heme-containing catalases, catalase–peroxidases, manganese catalases, and minor catalases. Although they have been studied for many years, a secondary peroxide-independent oxidative function of catalase is regarded as a new term discovery in the literature. Catalase–phenol oxidase (CATPO) is among the monofunctional heme-containing catalases and shows phenol oxidase activity resembling catechol oxidases, but also as well as having some features of laccases. The active site of the enzyme is buried deep inside a structurally highly conserved homotetramer. Channels leading to the active site have been identified as potential routes for substrate flow and product release, although evidence in support of this model is limited. Analysis of the crystal structure identified six residues lying in main channel which are likely to be directly or indirectly involved in substrate binding and catalysis. Eight single replacement mutants of CATPO from Scytalidium thermophilum have been prepared, isolated and then characterized kinetically, spectroscopically and crystallographically. We have obtained crystals of recombinant CATPO that diffract to 1.4 Å and are pursuing crystals of CATPO mutants.

Prediction of enzyme classes in a hierarchical approach by using SPMap Yaman, A.; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (2010-04-01) Enzymes are proteins that play important roles in biochemical reactions as catalysts. They are classified based on the reaction they catalyzed, in a hierarchical scheme by International Enzyme Commission (EC). This hierarchical scheme is expressed in four-level tree structure and a unique number is assigned to each enzyme class. There are six major classes at the top level according to the reaction they carried out and sub-classes at the lower levels are further specific reactions of these classes. The aim ...
Current applications of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria in the development of food active edible packaging Moradi, Mehran; Guimarães, Jonas T; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2021-08-01) The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are usually recognized as safe for consumption and comprise several genera with different technological and health-promoting potential for food applications, including probiotic characteristics. Their exopolysaccharides (EPS) have interesting film-forming properties and may be used to produce edible packaging, as a structural enhancer, a bioactive agent or probiotic carrier in edible films and coatings. In these days, there is a specific demand for food products with reduced a...
Targeted disruption of homoserine dehydrogenase gene and its effect on cephamycin C production in Streptomyces clavuligerus Yilmaz, Ebru I.; Caydasi, Ayse K.; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) The aspartate pathway of Streptomyces clavuligerus is an important primary metabolic pathway which provides substrates for beta-lactam synthesis. In this study, the hom gene which encodes homoserine dehydrogenase was cloned from the cephamycin C producer S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and characterized. The fully sequenced open reading frame encodes 433 amino acids with a deduced M (r) of 44.9 kDa. The gene was heterologously expressed in the auxotroph mutant Escherichia coli CGSC 5075 and the recombinant protei...
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 ...
Assessing genetic heterogeneity within bacterial species isolated from gastrointestinal and environmental samples: How many isolates does it take? Dopfer, D.; Buist, W.; Soyer, Yeşim; Munoz, M. A.; Zadoks, R. N.; Geue, L.; Engel, B. (American Society for Microbiology, 2008-06-01) Strain typing of bacterial isolates is increasingly used to identify sources of infection or product contamination and to elucidate routes of transmission of pathogens or spoilage organisms. Usually, the number of bacterial isolates belonging to the same species that is analyzed per sample is determined by convention, convenience, laboratory capacity, or financial resources. Statistical considerations and knowledge of the heterogeneity of bacterial populations in various sources can be used to determine the...
