Abstract

Lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs) have been highly focused for long time, due to their important roles in biochemical and metabolic pathways of cells. On the basis of genome-wide searching results, three putative LDH genes from Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 genome have been PCR-amplified, cloned, and well-expressed in E. coli. All three BcLDH isozymes are supposed to share highly conserved catalytic amino acid residues in common $NAD^+$-dependent LDHs. Meanwhile, BcLDH1 consisting of 314 amino acids shares 86 and 49% of identities with BcLDH2 and 3, respectively. Interestingly, only BcLDH1 showed the converting activities between L-lactate and pyruvate in the presence of $NAD^+$ coenzyme, while the other isozymes are likely to have almost no activity. As a result, it was revealed that BcLDH1 can be a typical $NAD^+$-dependent L-lactate-specific dehydrogenase.

Lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs)는 세포 내의 생화학적 대사경로에서 중요한 역할을 담당하는 효소로서 오랜 동안 많은 관심을 받았다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 미생물 genome database의 탐색을 통해 Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 genome으로부터 LDH로 추정되는 3종의 유전자를 발견하고, 대장균에서 클로닝 및 대량 발현하였다. 모든 BcLDH 동질효소들의 상동부위 아미노산 잔기 대부분이 기존의 $NAD^+$-의존형 LDH와 높은 상동성을 보였다. 한편 314개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 BcLDH1과 2는 86%의 서열 상동성을 보였으나, BcLDH3와는 49%의 상동성을 나타냈다. 흥미롭게도 BcLDH1만이 $NAD^+$ 조효소 존재 하에서 L-lactate와 pyruvate 간의 상호전환 활성을 나타냈으며, 그 외의 동질효소들은 거의 활성을 보이지 않았다. 결론적으로 BcLDH1은 전형적인 $NAD^+$-의존형이며, L-lactate에 특이적인 dehydrogenase 효소임을 확인하였다.
