Purification and properties of crystalline 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides

Abstract: 1. The purification and crystallization of 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from extracts of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides is described. 2. The molecular weight was calculated to be 85000 by sedimentation equilibrium. 3. Although the enzyme is stable at 0-4 degrees , dilute solutions are rapidly inactivated at 37 degrees ; NADH(2) or Ca(2+) ions prevent this inactivation. 4. The enzyme is extremely sensitive to mercurials, but can be protected by NADH(2) or Ca(2+) ions. 5. From studies on p-hydroxymercuribenzoate… Show more

“…From the amino acid composition a molecular mass of 106 kDa was calculated. A similar molecular mass was reported for Azotobacter beijerinckii BOHB-DH ) and a value of 85 kDa was reported for the Rhodopseudomonas spheroides enzyme (Bergmeyer et al, 1967). The amino acid composition (Table 2) shows that the protein is rich in acidic amino acids and has only 12 half-cysteines (six 0.2 0.4 0.6 NAD(P)H concn (mM) Fig.…”

“…1 .30) which catalyses the oxidation reduction reaction between 1-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate in the PHB cycle has a key role in the degradation of PHB and in regulation of PHB and in regulation of PHB synthesis and degradation. This enzyme has been studied from various sources (Delafield et al, 1965;Jurtshuk et al, 1968;Bergmeyer et al, 1967;Kovar et al, 1986). It has been found in mammals, where it is involved in degradation of pfl-hydroxybutyrate during starvation periods or diabetes.…”

“…Similarly, 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (3HBDH) was expressed at a higher level in testosterone-treated individuals in both sexes and both tissues. 3HBDH catalyzes the reversible reaction between beta-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetate, a key step in the breakdown of fatty acids for energy (Bergmeyer et al, 1967;Williamson et al, 1962). Both male and female rats respond to androgen treatment with changes in the expression of fatty acid metabolizing genes as well (van Nas et al, 2009).…”

“…From the experimental data it was possible to estimate pK a1 = 4.0, pK a2 = 10.2. These constants can be attributed to the aspartic acid (pK a 3.9) or glutamic acid (pK a 4.0) and Tyrosine (10.46) respectively [43]. In fact, near the catalytic center there is one residue that has an important paper in the catalysis, Trp155.…”
