Characteristics of Adenylate Kinase from Extreme Thermophile Thermus caldophilus GK-24

고도 호열성균 Thermus caldophilus의 Adenylate Kinase의 성질

A thermostable adenylate kinase isolated from the sonic extracts of Thermus caldophilus cells revealed higher substrate-specificity to the nucleoside monophosphate than to the nucleoside triphosphate. A $P', P^5$-di(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate was acted as a competitive inhibitor to the various substrates. Various divalent cations were activated the enzyme activity following orders: $Mg^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Ba^[2+}, $ and $Fe^{2+}$-. The enzyme activity was not affected by the sulfurhydryl reagent, p-chloromeric uribenzoic acid and activated by addition of the sodium chloride or phosphoenol pyruvate to the reaction mixture.

내열성 Thermus caldopilus로부터 정제된 내열성의 adenylate kinase는 nucleoside monophosphate에 대해 nucleotide triphosphate보다 높은 기질 특이성을 보여 주었다. $P',P^5$-di(adenosine-5')pentaphosphate는 여러 기질에 있어 Thermus의 adenylate kinase에 대해 경쟁적 저해제로서 작용하였다. $Mg^{2+}$ 이외 여러 가지 2가 양이온은 $Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, Ba^{2+}, Fe^{2+}$ 순위로 효소활성에 필요하였으며, 효소활성은 p-chloromucuribenzoic acid와 같은 sulfurhydryl 시약에 저해되지 않았으며, 식염이나 phosphenolpyruvate을 반응액 첨가하였을 때 활성화되었다.
