The DHH superfamily human protein h-prune, a binding partner of the metastasis suppressor nm23-H1, is frequently overexpressed in metastatic cancers. From an evolutionary perspective, h-prune very close to eukaryotic exopolyphosphatases. Here, we show for first time that efficiently hydrolyzes short-chain polyphosphates (kcat 3−40 s−1), including inorganic tripoly- and tetrapolyphosphates nucleoside 5′-tetraphosphates. Long-chain (≥25 phosphate residues) are converted more slowly, whereas...
Na+-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) contains two flavin residues as redox-active prosthetic groups attached by a phosphoester bond to threonine in subunits NqrB and NqrC. We demonstrate here that flavinylation of truncated Vibrio harveyi NqrC at Thr-229 Escherichia coli cells requires the presence co-expressed apbE gene. The genes cluster with for Na+-NQR other FMN-binding flavoproteins bacterial genomes encode proteins previously unknown function. Experiments isolated...
Soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase), an essential enzyme central to phosphorus metabolism, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphoanhydride bond in pyrophosphate. Catalysis requires divalent metal ions which affect apparent pKas general acid and base on enzyme, pKa substrate. Three five are required for maximal activity, depending pH source. A detailed understanding catalysis would aid both nature biological mechanisms phosphoryl transfer, role cations. Without a high-resolution complex...
One of the strategies used by organisms to adapt life under conditions short energy supply is use by-product pyrophosphate support cation gradients in membranes. Transport reactions are catalyzed membrane-integral pyrophosphatases (PPases), which classified into two homologous subfamilies: H + -transporting (found prokaryotes, protists, and plants) Na prokaryotes). activities have been believed require specific machinery for each ion, accordance with prevailing paradigm membrane transport....

The wealth of kinetic and structural information makes inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases) a good model system to study the details enzymatic phosphoryl transfer. enzyme accelerates metal-complexed transfer 10 -fold: but how? Our structures yeast PPase product complex at 1.15 Å fluoride-inhibited 1.9 visualize active site in three different states: substrate-bound, immediate bound, relaxed bound. These span steps around chemical catalysis provide strong evidence that water molecule (O nu )...
An open reading frame located in the COTF-TETB intergenic region of Bacillus subtilis was cloned and expressed Escherichia coli shown to encode inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase). The isolated enzyme is Mn2+-activated, like authentic PPase from B. subtilis. Although 13 functionally important active site residues are conserved all 31 soluble sequences so far identified, only two them PPase. This suggests that represents a new family PPases (a Bs family), putative members which were found...

7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is a ubiquitous oxidative DNA lesion resulting from injury to via reactive oxygen species. 8-oxoG lesions may play role in the formation of aberrant methylation patterns during carcinogenesis. In this study, we assessed effects on and complex nine 30-mer oligodeoxynucleotide duplexes by catalytic domain murine Dnmt3a methyltransferase (Dnmt3a-CD). The rate hemimethylated varied 25-fold decrease 1.8-fold increase, depending position relative Dnmt3a-CD...
Membrane pyrophosphatases (PPases), divided into K+-dependent and K+-independent subfamilies, were believed to pump H+ across cell membranes until a recent demonstration that some PPases function as Na+ pumps. Here, we have expressed seven evolutionarily important putative in Escherichia coli estimated their hydrolytic, transport, transport activities well K+ requirements inner membrane vesicles. Four of these enzymes (from Anaerostipes caccae, Chlorobium limicola, Clostridium tetani,...
The suitability of different pyrophosphate (PPi) analogs as inhibitors the vacuolar H+-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (V-PPase; EC 3.6.1.1) tonoplast vesicles isolated from etiolated hypocotyls Vigna radiata was investigated. Five 1,1-diphosphonates and imidodiphosphate were tested for their effects on substrate hydrolysis by V-PPase at a concentration corresponding to Km enzyme. order inhibitory potency (apparent inhibition constants, Kiapp values, [mu]M, in parentheses) compounds...
Based on the primary structure, soluble inorganic pyrophosphatases can be divided into two families which exhibit no sequence similarity to each other. Family I, comprising most of known pyrophosphatase sequences, further prokaryotic, plant and animal/fungal pyrophosphatases. Interestingly, bear a closer prokaryotic than Only 17 residues are conserved in all 37 family I remarkably, 15 these located at active site. Subunit interface but not

Pyrophosphatase (PPase) from Bacillus subtilis has recently been found to be the first example of a family II soluble PPase with unique requirement for Mn2+. In present work, we cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli putative genes two more PPases (fromStreptococcus mutans Streptococcus gordonii), isolated recombinant proteins, showed them highly specific active (catalytic constants 1700–3300 s−1 at 25 °C comparison 200–400 I). All three were dimeric manganese metalloenzymes,...
Membrane-bound pyrophosphatase (PPase) is commonly believed to couple pyrophosphate (PPi) hydrolysis H+ transport across the membrane. Here, we demonstrate that two newly isolated bacterial membrane PPases from mesophile Methanosarcina mazei (Mm-PPase) and moderate thermophile Moorella thermoacetica a previously described PPase hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima catalyze Na+ rather than into Escherichia coli inner vesicles (IMV). When assayed in uncoupled IMV, three exhibit an...
Combined evidence obtained from the measurements of pyrophosphate hydrolysis and synthesis, oxygen exchange between phosphate water, enzyme-bound formation Mg2+ binding enabled us to deduce overall scheme catalysis by Escherichia coli inorganic pyrophosphatase in presence Mg2+. We determined equilibrium constants for various enzyme species forward reverse rate four steps catalytic reaction, namely, binding/release PPi, hydrolysis/synthesis PPi successive two Pi molecules.
