Evidence for an essential histidine residue in glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium and sequence analysis of the peptides labeled with bromoacetyl pyridine

Abstract

Bromoacetylpyridine acts as an active-site-directed inhibitor on glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium. The inactivation is irreversible with a Ki of 7.7 mM. The coenzyme NAD but not the substrate glucose protects the enzyme from the inactivation. It is proposed that bromoacetylpyridine modifies a residue at or nearby the active site. The inactivation is correlated with the modification of a single histidine residue. Modification of the enzyme with 3-(2-bromo[carbonyl-14C]acetyl)-pyridine and partial acid hydrolysis of the protein yielded one labeled fragment. From the arginine restricted tryptic cleavage of this fragment four radioactively labeled peptides were purified. Comparison of the specific radioactivity leads to the conclusion that the active site histidine residue must be located in the 58-residue fragment AH2-TA3. Sequence analysis showed that only one residue is modified in this fragment and the sequence around the labeled histidine residue is -Met-Ser-Ser-Val-His-Glu-Trp-Lys-Ile-Pro-Trp-Pro-. The minor labeled arginine fragments, comprising 86, 20 and 13 residues, were also sequenced. Only lysine residues are modified in these peptides. The modification of the individual residues does not exceed 10%.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
