We investigated topoisomerase I activity at a specific camptothecin-enhanced cleavage site by use of a partly double-stranded DNA substrate. The cleavage site belongs to a group of DNA topoisomerase I sites which is only efficiently cleaved by wild-type topoisomerase I (topo I-wt) in the presence of camptothecin. With a mutated camptothecin-resistant form of topoisomerase I (topo I-K5) previous attempts to reveal cleavage activity at this site have failed. On this basis it was questioned whether the mutant enzyme has an altered DNA sequence recognition or a changed rate of catalysis at the site. Utilizing a newly developed assay system we demonstrate that topo I-K5 not only recognizes and binds to the strongly camptothecin-enhanced cleavage site but also has considerable cleavage/religation activity at this particular DNA site. Thus, topo I-K5 has a 10-fold higher rate of catalysis and a 10-fold higher affinity for DNA relative to topo I-wt. Our data indicate that the higher cleavage/religation activity of topo I-K5 is a result of improved DNA binding and a concomitant shift in the equilibrium between cleavage and religation towards the religation step. Thus, a recently identified point mutation which characterizes the camptothecin-resistant topo I-K5 has altered the enzymatic catalysis without disturbing the DNA sequence specificity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Of 65 serum samples submitted for diagnostic purposes which proved to be anti-complementary by complement fixation test, 49 were parvovirus B19 IgM positive. Forty four of the 49 serum samples were from patients with arthropathy. Acute parvovirus B19 infection should be suspected when a patient has symptoms of disease of the joints and the serum is anticomplementary. 相似文献

This study investigated the ability of the benzodiazepine inverse agonist, Ro 15-4513, to alter the expression of physical dependence on pentobarbital. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were made physically dependent on pentobarbital by continuous. IP, infusion of escalating doses of pentobarbital for 12 days. In Experiment 1, pentobarbital dependent rats received either vehicle or Ro 15-4513, in doses of 5, 10, or 15 mg/kg, IP, periodically during the pentobarbital abstinence period. As expected, Ro 15-4513 produced a significant, dose-dependent, exacerbation of withdrawal signs in the pentobarbital dependent rats. In Experiment 2, either vehicle or Ro 15-4513, at a dose of 15 mg/ kg, was administered, IP, once daily during the 12 days of continuous pentobarbital infusion. During the subsequent pentobarbital abstinence period it was noted that the withdrawal signs were significantly reduced in the rats receiving the daily administration of Ro 15-4513. It is hypothesized that the benzodiazepine inverse agonist, Ro 15-4513, may inhibit the development of physical dependence on pentobarbital through an opposing action on the GABA-A receptor. 相似文献

L-2-Haloacid dehalogenase (EC 3.8.1.2) catalyzes the hydrolytic dehalogenation of L-2-haloacids to produce the corresponding D-2-hydroxy acids. We have analyzed the reaction mechanism of the enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. YL and found that Asp10 is the active site nucleophile. When the multiple turnover enzyme reaction was carried out in H2(18)O with L-2-chloropropionate as a substrate, lactate produced was labeled with 18O. However, when the single turnover enzyme reaction was carried out by use of a large excess of the enzyme, the product was not labeled. This suggests that an oxygen atom of the solvent water is first incorporated into the enzyme and then transferred to the product. After the multiple turnover reaction in H2(18)O, the enzyme was digested with lysyl endopeptidase, and the molecular masses of the peptide fragments formed were measured by an ionspray mass spectrometer. Two 18O atoms were shown to be incorporated into a hexapeptide, Gly6-Lys11. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of this peptide revealed that Asp10 was labeled with two 18O atoms. Our previous site-directed mutagenesis experiment showed that the replacement of Asp10 led to a significant loss in the enzyme activity. These results indicate that Asp10 acts as a nucleophile on the alpha-carbon of the substrate leading to the formation of an ester intermediate, which is hydrolyzed by nucleophilic attack of a water molecule on the carbonyl carbon atom. 相似文献
