Crystallization and properties of l-lactate oxidase from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract: 1. An original method was devised for purifying and crystallizing l-lactate oxidase from Mycobacterium smegmatis. 2. The crystalline enzyme exhibited a single protein component (S(0) (20,w) 14.7s) in the ultracentrifuge and also on electrophoresis on cellulose acetate strips. 3. The enzyme has a typical flavoprotein spectrum, and it was confirmed that the prosthetic group is FMN. 4. Preliminary studies indicated that the molecular weight is in the range 300000-400000. Since the minimum molecular weight was fou… Show more

“…The observation of a biphasic reaction between lactate oxidase and DL-2-hydroxy-3-butynoate leading to the formation of this long wavelength intermediate is not surprising. D isomers of ahydroxy acids are strong competitive inhibitors (Sullivan, 1968) and dissociate from lactate oxidase slowly (Massey and Ghisla, unpublished). Therefore, by analogy to the reaction of lactate oxidase with DL-lactate, the first rapid phase observed in Figure 3 probably corresponds to the reaction of the enzyme complexed with the L isomer of 2-hydroxy-3-butynoate.…”

“…D~-2-Hydroxy-3-butynoic acid was prepared by published procedures (Leonard, 1956;Verny and Vessiere, 1967). FAD was obtained from Sigma and phosphodiesterase (Naja naja venom) from Ross Allen Reptile Institute, Silver Springs, Florida.…”

“…Comparison of glycollate oxidase from pea leaves and from other sources [1, 5,13] with related enzymes which oxidize L-lactate, e.g., with L-lactate oxidase from Mycobacteria [29][30][31] or with flavocytochrome b 2 from yeast [32]. reveals some interesting aspects: FMN is the coenzyme in most cases, and in particular when glycollate is the preferred substrate, suggesting a correlation of the two properties.…”
