(Creatininase) from Pseudomonas Putida J. Biochem. 86, 1109-1117 (1979) Creatinine Amidohydrolase (Creatininase) from Pseudomonas putida Purification and Some Properties 1 Kaoru RIKITAKE, Imao OKA, Makoto ANDO, Tadashi YOSHIMOTO, and Daisuke TSURU Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagasaki University, Bunkyo-machi, Nagasaki, Nagasaki 852 Received for publication, April 11, 1979 Creatinine amidohydrolase (EC 3.5.2.-; creatininase] was purified in an overall yield of 11 from cell-free extract of Pseudomonas putida var. naraensis, strain C-83, by column chro matographies on sarcosine-HM-Sepharose and DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme catalyzed the reversible conversion of creatinine to creatine with an optimal pH of 7-9. Km values for creatinine and creatine were 26 mM and 0.13 M, respectively. The enzyme was also active toward glycocyamidine, though the reaction rate was quite low, but it was completely inert toward hydantoin and its derivatives. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 175,000 by ultracentrifugal analysis and the subunit molecular weight estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 23,000, suggesting that the enzyme is composed of eight subunit monomers. The isoelectric point was 4.7 as judged by iso electric focusing experiments. The enzyme was markedly inactivated by heavy metal ions, N-bromosuccinimide, ethoxyformic anhydride, and dye-sensitized photooxidation, and also partially by metal chelators. The enzyme was found to contain about one gram atom of zinc per subunit monomer. The metal-free, inactive enzyme was prepared and could be reactivated by the addition of Mn2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ in that order of de- creasing effectiveness. These results indicate that metal is intimately involved in the creatini nase activity of P. putida. In order to establish a new enzymatic method for terium belonging to Pseudomonas putida was diagnostic analysis of creatinine and creative in isolated from soil in Nara Prefecture and designated serum (1, 2), microorganisms capable of rapidly as P. putida var. naraensis C-83 (3).

    Supplemental Methods: Sample Collection Duplicate surface samples were collected from the Amazon River plume aboard the R/V Knorr in June 2010 (4 52.71’N, 51 21.59’W) during a period of high river discharge. The collection site (Station 10, 4° 52.71’N, 51° 21.59’W; S = 21.0; T = 29.6°C), located ~ 500 Km to the north of the Amazon River mouth, was characterized by the presence of coastal diatoms in the top 8 m of the water column. Sampling was conducted between 0700 and 0900 local time by gently impeller pumping (modified Rule 1800 submersible sump pump) surface water through 10 m of tygon tubing (3 cm) to the ship's deck where it then flowed through a 156 µm mesh into 20 L carboys. In the lab, cells were partitioned into two size fractions by sequential filtration (using a Masterflex peristaltic pump) of the pre-filtered seawater through a 2.0 µm pore-size, 142 mm diameter polycarbonate (PCTE) membrane filter (Sterlitech Corporation, Kent, CWA) and a 0.22 µm pore-size, 142 mm diameter Supor membrane filter (Pall, Port Washington, NY). Metagenomic and non-selective metatranscriptomic analyses were conducted on both pore-size filters; poly(A)-selected (eukaryote-dominated) metatranscriptomic analyses were conducted only on the larger pore-size filter (2.0 µm pore-size). All filters were immediately submerged in RNAlater (Applied Biosystems, Austin, TX) in sterile 50 mL conical tubes, incubated at room temperature overnight and then stored at -80oC until extraction. Filtration and stabilization of each sample was completed within 30 min of water collection.

  • SUPPLEMENTARY TEXT. Systems Analysis with the Gaggle Mrna
    SUPPLEMENTARY TEXT. Systems analysis with the Gaggle mRNA level changes were analyzed simultaneously with gene/protein functional associations [operons (Moreno-Hagelsieb and Collado-Vides 2002), phylogenetic profile (Pellegrini et al. 1999), chromosomal proximity (Overbeek et al. 1999)], physical interactions [protein-DNA interactions (Facciotti etal, submitted)], putative functions in the SBEAMS database (http://halo.systemsbiology.net) (Bonneau et al. 2004) along with supporting evidence such as matches in protein databank [PDB (Sussman et al. 1998)], protein families [Pfam (Bateman et al. 2000), COG database (Tatusov et al. 2000)] and metabolic pathways [KEGG (Kanehisa 2002)]. Further, data were extracted into sub- matrices using custom filters, normalized and statistically analyzed using the R statistical package (http://www.r-project.org) and TIGR microarray expression viewer [TMeV (Saeed et al. 2003)]. Given the size and heterogeneity of data and software, we used the Gaggle framework (http://gaggle.systemsbiology.net) (Shannon et al, accepted in BMC Bioinformatics) to facilitate analyses and queries. The Gaggle is an open source Java software framework for seamless desktop integration of diverse databases and software applications. Specifically, all genes were visualized in Cytoscape (Shannon et al. 2003) as networks of nodes (genes) and edges (functional associations). The genes were organized into various function categories and node color was mapped to mRNA level changes (red for increased and green for decreased mRNA) (Johnson etal, submitted, Shannon etal, submitted); and node size was mapped to statistical significance (λ) (Baliga et al. 2004; Shannon et al. 2003). With this visualization scheme significant changes (genes appearing as large red or green nodes) in various function categories become immediately evident.
