Oxygen-sensitive ribonucleoside triphosphate reductase is present in anaerobic Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase from Escherichia coli and mammalian cells provides the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates for DNA synthesis. The active enzyme contains a tyrosyl free radical whose formation requires oxygen. Earlier genetic evidence suggested that the enzyme is not required for anaerobic growth of E. coli, implicating the activity of a different enzyme or enzyme system for deoxyribonucleotide synthesis in the absence of oxygen. We now conclude from isotope incorporation experiments that E. coli during anaerobiosis obtains its deoxyribonucleotides by reduction of ribonucleotides. Extracts from anaerobically grown bacteria contain a different enzyme activity capable of reducing CTP to dCTP. To obtain an active enzyme, strict anaerobiosis must be maintained during extract preparation and during assay of the enzyme. The reaction is stimulated by NADPH, Mg2+, and ATP. Inhibition by deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates suggests that the anaerobic enzyme has allosteric properties. Antibodies raised against the aerobic enzyme do not inhibit the new activity, and hydroxyurea, a potent scavenger of the tyrosyl radical of the aerobic enzyme, only weakly inhibits the anaerobic enzyme. The anaerobic enzyme has interesting evolutionary aspects since it might reflect on an activity that in the absence of oxygen made possible the transition from an "RNA world" into a "DNA world."
