초록
Bacillus subtilis ED 213의 cytidine deaminase 의 활성부위에 존재하는 필수 아미노산잔기를 화학수식 방법으로 측정하였다. 본 효소는 1mM o-phenanthroline 에 의하여 효소활성이 43% 저해되어 효소활성 발현에 Fe\sup 2+\가 요구된다고 추정되며, 1mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 에 의해서는 효소활성이 오히려 28% 정도 촉진되었다. 본 효소는 1mM N-bromosuccinimide, 1mM chloramine-T 와 1mM $\rho$-chloromercuribenzoic acid에 의하여 100% 저해되었으며, 그의 저해 양상은 경쟁적 저해 양상을 나타내었다. 본 효소의 효소활성은 1mM pyridoxal-5-phosphate 에 의항 36% 저해되었으며, 1mM 1ethyl-3-carbodiamide 와 1mM glycine methylester에 의해 저해된 효소활성이 5mM cysteine에 의해 완전히 회복되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 Bacillus subtilis ED 213 cytidine deaminase의 활성부위에는 tyrosine, methionine, cysteine 과 serine 잔기가 관여할 뿐만 아니라 lysine 과 glycine 도 효소활성에 관여하는 것으로 추정된다.
Essential amino acids involving in the active site ofthe cytidn~e deruninase from Bncillus subtilis ED 213 were determined by chemical modification studies. Tllc purified cytidine deruninase tiom Booillus subtilis ED 213 required the reduced form of Fe(lI)ion. since the enzyme was inhibited 43% by 1 mnM o-phenanthroline. Whereas the enzyme activity was activated up to 28% by 1 1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The cytidine deaninase activily was completely inhibited by 1 mM N-bromosuccinimide, chloramine-T, and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (p-CMB), respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited 36% by 1 mM pyridoxal-S-phosphale, and 31% by 1 mM l-ethy~-3-(3-dirneIhj~laminoprop}~~)c~bodiiamide and glycine inethyl ester. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited 68% by 1 \mu$M \rho$-CMB and this inhibition of the enzyme activity with 1 \mu$M \rho$-CMB was completely reactivated by 5 mM cysleine as a reducing agent. We speculaled that tyrosine, methionine, cysteuie and/or serine residues are located ui or near ihe active site of the cytidine deruniuase from Bncilus subrilis ED 213 and indirectly related to lysine and/or glycine.
