TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Cloning and characterization of AtNUDT13, a novel mitochondrial Arabidopsis thaliana Nudix hydrolase specific for long-chain diadenosine polyphosphates

A cDNA corresponding to theAt3g26690 3 gene, which encodes a Nudix protein (AtNUDT13) with predicted mitochondrial localization, was iso-lated from an Arabidopsis thalianalibrary. The 202 amino acid AtNUDT13 polypeptide was overexpressed inEscherichia coliand purified to homo-geneity. | ỊFEBS Journal Cloning and characterization of AtNUDT13 a novel mitochondrial Arabidopsis thaliana Nudix hydrolase specific for long-chain diadenosine polyphosphates Kamil Olejnik1 Monika W.

The 202 amino acid AtNUDT13 polypeptide was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The preferred substrate for this hydrolase was diadenosine hexaphosphate Ap6A with Km and kcat Km values of mM and X 103 M 1-s-1 respectively. Optimal activity was at alkaline pH with Mg2 5 mM as the cofactor. MS analysis revealed that the products of diadenosine hexaphosphate hydrolysis were ADP and adenosine tetraphosphate. Diadenosine pentaphosphate and adenosine tetraphosphate were additional substrates but diadenosine tetraphosphate and diadenosine triphosphate adenosine nucleotides diphosphoinositol polyphosphate and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate were not hydrolyzed. Chemical crosslinking and size exclusion chromatography demonstrated that the protein exists as a monomer in solution. Subcellular localization .
