The inactivation of Fe-S cluster containing hydro-lyases by superoxide.
We report in this paper that highly purified Escherichia coli dihydroxy-acid dehydratase, fumarase A, fumarase B, and mammalian aconitase are inactivated by O2- with second order rate constants in the range of 10(6) to 10(7) M-1 s-1.

Studies on the subunit structure of 4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate hydro-lyase (decarboxylating) from Pseudomonas acidovorans [PDF]
1. Homogeneous preparations of D-4-deoxy-5-oxoglutarate hydro lyase (decarboxylating)(EC4.2.1.41) were analysed in the ultracentrifuge by the high-speed sedimentation-equilibrium method of Yphantis (1964). The molecular weight in 0.1 M-potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, in 6M-guanidine hydrochloride and in 0.1 M-beta-mercaptoethanol in 6M-guanidine ...

Identification of two [4Fe-4S]-cluster-containing hydro-lyases from Pyrococcus furiosus.
The hyperthermophilic archaeonPyrococcus furiosusis a strict anaerobe. It is therefore not expected to use the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for energy transduction. Nonetheless, its genome encodes more putative TCA cycle enzymes than the closely relatedPyrococcus horikoshiiandPyrococcus abyssi, including an aconitase (PF0201).

Assay and Purification of (+)-Citramalate Hydro-lyase Components from Clostridium tetanomorphum
The enzyme system ((+)-citramalate hydro-lyase, also called mesaconase) from Clostridium tetanomorphum, that catalyzes the reversible hydration of mesaconate to (+)-citramalate has been studied. A rapid, spectrophotometric assay for this activity has been developed, based upon the absorbance increase at 250 mµ when citramalate is converted to ...

Purification and properties of
1. An enzyme extracted from Pseudomonas acidovorans was purified and shown to catalyse the simultaneous dehydration and decarboxylation of d-4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate. It is proposed to name the enzyme d-4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate hydro-lyase (decarboxylating), trivial name ‘deoxyoxoglucarate dehydratase’. 2.

Isolation and biochemical characterization of maleic‐acid hydratase, an iron‐requiring hydro‐lyase [PDF]
A procedure for the isolation of maleic acid hydratase (D‐malete hydro‐lyase, EC 4.2.1.31) of about 95% purity from rabbit kidneys is described. The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide chain of 582 amino‐acid residues with an approximate molecular mass of 68 kDa.

Changes in Activity of 5-Dehydroquinate Hydro-lyase in Relation to Lignification of Bamboo [PDF]
Characterization of 5-dehydroquinate hydro-lyase extracted from bomboo shoot was carried out. The enzyme was active over a broad range of pH with no marked peak between pH 6.0 and 8.0. Michaelis constant (Km) for dehydroquinic acid was found to be 1.3 × 10−5 m at pH 7.4.

Chemical Modification and Kinetic Studies on Glucarate Hydro‐Lyase from a Species of Pseudomonas A [PDF]
Glucarate hydro‐lyase, obtained from cells of Pseudomonas A grown on glucarate as the sole source of carbon, was purified 40‐fold in 70% yield. The effects of a variety of chemical modifiers and competitive inhibitors on the enzyme activity were studied.

Contribution of a Cyanide-insensitive Alternate Respiratory System to Increases in Formamide Hydro-lyase Activity and to Growth in Stemphylium loti in Vitro [PDF]
Stemphylium loti, a pathogen of a cyanogenic plant, possesses a cyanide-insensitive alternate respiratory pathway. In the absence of cytochrome inhibitors, the alternate system had only a minor role in respiration. When S. loti was grown in medium amended with antimycin to block the cytochrome chain, the alternate system accounted for the total oxygen ...
