Site - Specific Mutations of Conserved C - Terminal Residues in Aminoglycoside 3'-Phosphotransferase II [APH(3')-II]: Phenotypic and Structural Analysis of the Mutant Enzymes

1992-06-01
In order to test the biological importance of amino acids in the C-terminal quarter of aminoglycoside 3′-phosphotransferase II enzyme, seven of the highly conserved residues in this region, His-188, Asp-190, Asp-208, Gly-210, Arg-211, Asp-216 and Asp-220, were changed via site-directed mutagenesis. The phenotype of each mutant was compared to wildtype in terms of antibiotic susceptibilities and enzymatic activities. All of the substitutions either abolished or significantly reduced the resistance of the resulting strains to kanamycin, neomycin, butirosin, ribostamycin, paromomycin, gentamicin A, and G-418. Similarly, enzyme activities in crude extracts were substantially reduced for the mutant strains. Affinity of the enzyme for Mg+2-ATP decreased with His-188, Asp-190, Asp-216 and Asp-220 substitutions as revealed by Km measurements. Secondary structure analysis predicted that substitutions at the conserved residues caused severe conformational distortions at the corresponding regions of the protein.

Endogenous signal peptides in recombinant protein production by Pichia pastoris: From in-silico analysis to fermentation
Massahi, Aslan; Çalık, Pınar (2016-11-07)
For extracellular recombinant protein production, the efficiency of five endogenous secretion signal peptides (SPs) of Pichia pastoris, SP13 (MLSTILNIFILLLFIQASLQ), SP23 (MKILSALLLLFTLAFA), SP24 (MKVSTTKFLAVFLLVRLVCA), SP26 (MWSLFISGLLIFYPLVLG), SP34 (MRPVLSLLLLLASSVLA), selected based on their D-score which quantifies the signal peptide-ness of a given sequence segment, was investigated using recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) as the model protein. The expression was conducted under glyceraldehyde-3-p...
Applications of terahertz spectroscopy in biosystems
Plusquellic, David F.; SİEGRİST, Karen; Heilweil, Edwin J.; Esentürk, Okan (Wiley, 2007-12-03)
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopic investigations of condensed-phase biological samples are reviewed ranging from the simple crystalline forms of amino acids, carbohydrates and polypeptides to the more complex aqueous forms of small proteins, DNA and RNA. Vibrationally resolved studies of crystalline samples have revealed the exquisite sensitivity of THz modes to crystalline order, temperature, conformational form, peptide sequence and local solvate environment and have given unprecedented measures of the bindin...
Immobilization of invertase, polyphenol oxidase and glucose oxidase n conducting copolymers of thiophene-capped polytetrahydrofuran and pyrrole
Böyükbayram, Ayşe Elif; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2005)
Immobilization of invertase, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymes were performed in electrochemically synthesized two types of conducting copolymers. One end and two end thiophene-capped polytetrahydrofuran (TPTHF-1 and TPTHF-2) were copolymerized with pyrrole under conditions of constant potential electrolysis. The copolymers were characterized by thermal, spectroscopic and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Immobilization was carried out via entrapment of enzymes in two types of ...
Induced CYP1A mRNA, protein and catalytic activity in the liver of feral fish, leaping mullet, Liza saliens
Arinc, E; Kocabıyık, Semra; Su, E (2001-02-01)
In this study, we examined whether levels of P4501A mRNA expression were naturally induced in feral fish, Liza saliens, and whether CYP1A protein levels and associated enzyme activity, EROD, were also increased. Induction of mRNA was measured using a nucleic acid hybridization technique. For the hybridization studies, a new 33-mer oligonucleotide probe 5 ' -dCTC ATC CAG CTT CCT GTC CTC GCA GTG ATC AAT-3 ' was designed, which corresponded to the totally conserved amino acid motif of CYP1A protein from positi...
