Purification and Someproperties of Arginine Deiminase in Euglena Agric. Biol. Chem., 48 (2), 483-489, 1984 483 Purification and SomeProperties of Arginine Deiminase in Euglena gracilis Z Bong-Sun Park, Aiko Hirotani, Yoshihisa Nakano and Shozaburo Kitaoka Department of Agricultural Chemistry, University of Osaka Prefecture, Sakai, Osaka 591, Japan Received August 29, 1983 In Euglena gracilis arginine deiminase was located in the mitochondrial matrix. The highly purified enzyme required Co2+for the enzyme reaction with the Kmvalue of 0.23mM, and its optimum pH was 9.7 to 10.3. The molecular weight of the native enzyme protein was 87,000 by gel filtration, and SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the enzyme consisted of two identical subunits with a molecular weight of 48,000. Euglena arginine deiminase was inhibited by sulfhydryl inhibitors, indicating that a sulfhydryl group is involved in the active center of the enzyme. It exhibited negative cooperativity in binding with arginine. L-a-amino-jS-guanidino- propionate, D-arginine, and L-homoarginine strongly inhibited the enzyme while /?-guanidinopro- pionate, y-guanidinobutyrate, and guanidinosuccinate did not. Considerable inhibition was also observed with citrulline and ornithine. Wediscuss the effects of the unique properties of the Euglena arginine deiminase on the regulation of arginine metabolism in this protozoon.

  • Organizational Invariance in (M,R)-Systems
    2396 CHEMISTRY & BIODIVERSITY – Vol. 4 (2007) Organizational Invariance in (M,R)-Systems by Athel Cornish-Bowden* and María Luz Ca´rdenas Institut de Biologie Structurale et Microbiologie, CNRS-BIP, 31 chemin Joseph-Aiguier, B.P. 71, F-13402 Marseille Cedex 20 (fax: þ33-491-16-4661; e-mail: [email protected]) Robert Rosens concept of (M,R)-systems was a fundamental advance in our understanding of the essential nature of a living organism as a self-organizing system, one that is closed to efficient causation, synthesizing, and maintaining all of the catalysts necessary for sustained operation during the whole period of its lifetime. Although it is not difficult to construct a model metabolic system to represent an (M,R)-system, such a model system will typically appear to lack organizational invariance, an essential property of a living (M,R)-system. To have this property, an (M,R)-system must not only be closed to external causation, it must also have its organization coded within itself, i.e., the knowledge of which components are needed for which functions must not be defined externally. In this paper, we discuss how organizational invariance may be achieved, and we argue that the apparent failure of previous models to be organizationally invariant is an artifact of the usual practice of treating catalytic cycles as black boxes. If all of the steps in such a cycle are written as uncatalyzed chemical reactions, then it becomes clear that the organization of the system is fully defined by the chemical properties of the molecules that compose it.

  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph a nd reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material m a y have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure a n d is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35 m m slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography. 8703569 K im , Byeong G ee POLYAMINE METABOLISM AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO MULTIPLICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF ACANTHAMOEBA CASTELLANII The Ohio State University Ph.D. 1986 University Microfilms International300 N.
