TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Inorganic pyrophosphatase in the roundworm Ascaris and its role in the development and molting process of the larval stage parasites

Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyro-phosphate (PPi)intoortho-phosphate (P i ). We report here the molecular cloning and characterization of a gene encoding the soluble PPase of the roundworm Ascaris suum. The predicted A. suumPPase consists of 360 amino acids with a molecular mass of kDa and a pI of . Amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicates that the gene encodes a functional Family I soluble PPase containing features identical to those of prokaryotic, plant and animal/fungal soluble PPases | Eur. J. Biochem. 270 2814-2826 2003 FEBS 2003 doi Inorganic pyrophosphatase in the roundworm Ascaris and its role in the development and molting process of the larval stage parasites M.

Amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicates that the gene encodes a functional Family I soluble PPase containing features identical to those of prokaryotic plant and animal fungal soluble PPases. The Escherichia coli-expressed recombinant enzyme has a specific activity of 937 Ltmol Pi-min 1-mg-1 protein corresponding to a kcat value of 638 s-1 at 55 C. Its activity was strongly dependent on Mg2 and was inhibited by Ca2 . Native PPases were expressed in all developmental stages of A. suum. A homolog was also detected in the most closely related human and dog roundworms A. lumbricoides and Toxocara canis respectively. The enzyme was intensely localized in the body wall gut epithelium ovary and uterus of adult female worms. We observed that native PPase activity together with development and molting in vitro of A. suum L3 to L4 were .
