Purification and characterization of glucose dehydrogenase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum.

ABSTRACT: Glucose dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum. The enzyme is a tetramer of polypeptide chain Mr 38,000 +/- 3000, it is catalytically active with both NAD+ and NADP+ cofactors, and it is thermostable and remarkably resistant to a variety of organic solvents. The amino acid composition was determined and compared with those of the glucose dehydrogenases from the archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus and the eubacteria Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the Thermoplasma acidophilum enzyme was determined to be: (S/T)-E-Q-K-A-I-V-T-D-A-P-K-G-G-V-K-Y-T-T-I-D-M-P-E.

Characterization of the DNA gyrase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Project description:Thermoplasma acidophilum is sensitive to the antibiotic drug novobiocin, which inhibits DNA gyrase. We characterized DNA gyrases from T. acidophilum strains in vitro. The DNA gyrase from a novobiocin-resistant strain and an engineered mutant were less sensitive to novobiocin. The novobiocin-resistant gyrase genes might serve as T. acidophilum genetic markers.

Immobilization of Thermoplasma acidophilum Glucose Dehydrogenase and Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Through Enzyme-Inorganic Hybrid Nanocrystal Formation.

Project description:The development of green catalysts, specifically biocatalysts, is crucial for building a sustainable society. To enhance the versatility of biocatalysts, the immobilization of enzymes plays a vital role as it improves their recyclability and robustness. As target enzymes to immobilize, glucose dehydrogenases and carboxylases are particularly important among various kinds of enzymes due to their involvement in two significant reactions: regeneration of the reduced form of coenzyme required for various reactions, and carboxylation reactions utilizing CO2 as a substrate, respectively. In this study, we immobilized Thermoplasma acidophilum glucose dehydrogenase (TaGDH) and T. acidophilum isocitrate dehydrogenase (TaIDH) using a previously reported method involving the formation of enzyme-inorganic hybrid nanocrystals, in the course of our continuing study focusing on carboxylation catalyzed by the free form of TaGDH and TaIDH. Subsequently, we investigated the properties of the resulting immobilized enzymes. Our results indicate the successful immobilization of TaGDH and TaIDH through the formation of hybrid nanocrystals utilizing Mn2+. The immobilization process enhanced TaIDH activity, up to 211%, while TaGDH retained 71% of its original activity. Notably, the immobilized TaGDH exhibited higher activity at temperatures exceeding 87 °C than the free TaGDH. Moreover, these immobilized enzymes could be recycled. Finally, we successfully utilized the immobilized enzymes for the carboxylation of 2-ketoglutaric acid under 1 MPa CO2. In conclusion, this study represents the first immobilization of TaGDH and TaIDH using the hybrid nanocrystal forming method. Furthermore, we achieved significant activity enhancement of TaIDH through immobilization and demonstrated the recyclability of the immobilized enzymes.

Crystallization behaviour of glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase from Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Project description:The glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase from Thermoplasma acidophilum (TaAlDH) is a microbial enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of D-glyceraldehyde to D-glycerate in the artificial enzyme cascade designed for the conversion of glucose to the organic solvents isobutanol and ethanol. Various mutants of TaAlDH were constructed by a random approach followed by site-directed and saturation mutagenesis in order to improve the properties of the enzyme that are essential for its functioning within the cascade. Two enzyme variants, wild-type TaAlDH (TaAlDHwt) and an F34M+S405N variant (TaAlDH F34M+S405N), were successfully crystallized. Crystals of TaAlDHwt belonged to the monoclinic space group P1211 with eight molecules per asymmetric unit and diffracted to a resolution of 1.95 Å. TaAlDH F34M+S405N crystallized in two different space groups: triclinic P1 with 16 molecules per asymmetric unit and monoclinic C121 with four molecules per asymmetric unit. These crystals diffracted to resolutions of 2.14 and 2.10 Å for the P1 and C121 crystals, respectively.

Glucose dehydrogenase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:Glucose dehydrogenase has been purified to homogeneity from cell extracts of the extreme thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus. The enzyme utilizes both NAD+ and NADP+ as coenzyme and catalyses the oxidation of several monosaccharides to the corresponding glyconic acid. Substrate specificity and oxidation rate depend on the coenzyme present; when NAD+ is used, the enzyme binds and oxidizes specifically sugars presenting equatorial orientation of hydroxy groups at C-2, C-3 and C-4. The Mr of the native enzyme is 124,000 and decreases to about 60,000 in the presence of 6 M-guanidinium chloride and to about 30,000 in the presence of 5% (w/v) SDS. The enzyme shows maximal activity at pH 9, 77 degrees C and 20 mM-Mg2+, -Mn2+ or -Ca2+ and is fairly stable in the presence of chaotropic agents and water-miscible organic solvents such as methanol or acetone.

Identification and characterization of Thermoplasma acidophilum glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase: a new class of NADP+-specific aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Project description:Thermoacidophilic archaea such as Thermoplasma acidophilum and Sulfolobus solfataricus are known to metabolize D-glucose via the nED (non-phosphorylated Entner-Doudoroff) pathway. In the present study, we identified and characterized a glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase involved in the downstream portion of the nED pathway. This glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase was purified from T. acidophilum cell extracts by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose, Phenyl-Sepharose and Affi-Gel Blue columns. SDS/PAGE of the purified enzyme showed a molecular mass of approx. 53 kDa, whereas the molecular mass of the native protein was 215 kDa, indicating that glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase is a tetrameric protein. By MALDI-TOF-MS (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight MS) peptide fingerprinting of the purified protein, it was found that the gene product of Ta0809 in the T. acidophilum genome database corresponds to the purified glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase. The native enzyme showed the highest activity towards glyceraldehyde, but no activity towards aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes, and no activity when NAD+ was substituted for NADP+. Analysis of the amino acid sequence and enzyme inhibition studies indicated that this glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase belongs to the ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase) superfamily. BLAST searches showed that homologues of the Ta0809 protein are not present in the Sulfolobus genome. Possible differences between T. acidophilum (Euryarchaeota) and S. solfataricus (Crenarchaeaota) in terms of the glycolytic pathway are thus expected.

Characterization of the Cdc6 Homologues from the Euryarchaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Project description:Archaeal cell division cycle protein 6 (Cdc6) homologues are thought to be involved in the initiation process of DNA replication. In the present study, a biochemical characterization of the two Cdc6 proteins from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum has been performed. Both TaCdc6-1 and TaCdc6-2 behave as monomers in solution and both are abundantly expressed in vivo. Further, TaCdc6-1 shows strong ability to undergo autophosphorylation compared to TaCdc6-2 and the autophosphorylation activity is not affected by DNA or MCM.

A Reexamination of Thioredoxin Reductase from <i>Thermoplasma acidophilum</i>, a Thermoacidophilic Euryarchaeon, Identifies It as an NADH-Dependent Enzyme.

Project description:Flavin-containing Trx reductase (TrxR) of Thermoplasma acidophilum (Ta), a thermoacidophilic facultative anaerobic archaeon, lacks the structural features for the binding of 2'-phosphate of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and this feature has justified the observed lack of activity with NADPH; NADH has also been reported to be ineffective. Our recent phylogenetic analysis identified Ta-TrxR as closely related to the NADH-dependent enzymes of Thermotoga maritima and Desulfovibrio vulgaris, both being anaerobic bacteria. This observation instigated a reexamination of the activity of the enzyme, which showed that Ta-TrxR is NADH dependent; the apparent Km for NADH was 3.1 μM, a physiologically relevant value. This finding is consistent with the observation that NADH:TrxR has thus far been found primarily in anaerobic bacteria and archaea.

Organization and expression of the 16S, 23S and 5S ribosomal RNA genes from the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Project description:To elucidate the organization of the transcription units encoding the 16S, 23S and 5S rRNAs in the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum, the nucleotide sequences flanking the three rRNA genes were determined, and the 5' and 3' termini of the rRNA transcripts were mapped by primer extension and nuclease S1 protection. The results show that each of the rRNAs is transcribed separately, consistent with the lack of physical proximity among them in the T. acidophilum genome. The transcription initiation sites are preceded at an interval of approximately 25 base pairs by conserved A + T-rich sequences of the form CTTATATA, which strongly resemble the archaebacterial promoter consensus, TTTAT/AATA. In all three cases, transcription termination occurs within T-rich tracts just downstream from inverted repeats which can be folded into relatively stable stem-loop structures. While no partially processed intermediates of the 16S or 5S rRNA transcripts were detected, the 23S rRNA transcript appears to be processed by a RNase III-like activity prior to final maturation. This is the only organism known in the prokaryotic world in which the 16S, 23S and 5S rRNAs are all expressed from separate transcription units.
