1. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of APH(3')-II was used to investigate the functions of key amino acids in the P-loop analogous motif of the enzyme. 2. The mutations of Gly205 --> GIu, Gly210 --> Ala and Arg211 --> Pro considerably reduced the resistance of the resulting strains to KM and to related drugs, e.g. G418. 3. Similarly, enzyme activity in the crude extracts of these mutants was substantially reduced as well as the enzyme's affinity for Mg2+ ATP. 4. Alternatively substitutions at a highly conserved basic residue (Arg211 --> Lys and Arg211 --> His) were not sufficient for the enzyme to sustain the activity at a level comparable to that of the wildtype. 5. Moreover, an Arg211 --> His mutation drastically reduced affinity of the enzyme for Mg2+ ATP. 6. This argues the importance of Arg211 residue in contributing to the formation of the P-loop structure in addition to its involvement in phosphoryl transfer reaction. 7. Computer analysis of the secondary structure predicted that the APH(3')-II loop connects a beta-strand to an alpha-helix and that the above mutations caused varying degrees of structural distortions at the corresponding regions of the protein.

Aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of bacillus acidocaldarius Kocabaş, Pınar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) In this study, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters on aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of Bacillus acidocaldarius were investigated. Firstly, in laboratory scale shake-bioreactors, a defined medium was designed in terms of its carbon and nitrogen sources, to achieve the highest cell concentration. Thereafter, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters, i.e., pH and temperature were investigated; and the optimum medium contained (kg m-3): fructose, 8; (NH4)2HPO4, 5; CaCl2, 0.2; KH2PO4...
Sequences in the intracellular loops of the yeast pheromone receptor Ste2p required for G protein activation. Celić, A; Martin, NP; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Becker, JM; Naider, F; Dumont, ME (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-03-18) The α-factor receptor of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by the STE2 gene is a member of the large family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate multiple signal transduction pathways. The third intracellular loop of GPCRs has been identified as a likely site of interaction with G proteins. To determine the extent of allowed substitutions within this loop, we subjected a stretch of 21 amino acids (Leu228−Leu248) to intensive random mutagenesis and screened multiply substituted alleles...
Unnatural amino acid replacement in a yeast G protein-coupled receptor in its native environment. Huang, LY; Umanah, G; Hauser, M; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Arshava, B; Naider, F; Becker, JM (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-05-20) Ste2p is the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for the tridecapeptide pheromone cc factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This receptor- pheromone pair has been used extensively as a paradigm for investigating GPCR structure and function. Expression in yeast harboring a cognate tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair specifically evolved to incorporate p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine (Bpa) in response to the amber codon allowed the biosynthesis of Bpa-substituted Ste2p in its native cell. We replaced natural amino acid ...
Isolation and immunological characterization of theta class glutathione-s-transferase gstt2-2 from bovine liver İşgör, Sultan Belgin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2004) The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) (EC.2.5.1.18) are enzymes that participate in cellular detoxification of endogenous as well as foreign electrophilic compounds, function in the cellular detoxification systems and are evolved to protect cells against reactive oxygen metabolites by conjugating the reactive molecules to the nucleophile scavenging tripeptide glutathione (GSH, ?-glu-cys-gly). The GSTs are found in all eukaryotes and prokaryotic systems, in the cytoplasm, on the microsomes, and in the mitoch...
Benzaldehyde lyase from pseudomonas fluorescens biovar i mediated biotransformation for the synthesis of chiral alpha hydroxy ketones Hoşrik, Birsu Semra; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biochemistry (2010) Optically active α-hydroxy ketones are important subunits of many biologically active compounds and indispensable synthons for asymmetric synthesis. Benzaldehyde Lyase from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I is a novel ThDP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of benzoin type chiral α-hydroxy ketones starting from both benzaldehyde and racemic benzoin derivatives. Benzaldehyde Lyase is the first example of enzymes in the literature which leads to a chemical resolution of enantiomers of benzoin deriva...
