Pyridine nucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase activity in blue-green algae.

Abstract:

:Pyridine nucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase activity (GPND) is described for the first time in cell-free extracts of certain blue-green algae. When glucose is added to these crude cell extracts, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is reduced at twice the rate as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; but evidence suggests that this activity is due to a single enzyme. The distribution and level of GPND in selected blue-green algae correlates with the heterotrophic potential of each species. In all blue-green algae where GPND was detected, O(2) uptake coupled to the GPND reaction was also observed. Both GPND and O(2) uptake apparently occur in the soluble fraction of the cell. An essential role for GPND in the heterotrophic metabolism of blue-green algae is postulated.

  • Impaired expression of certain prereplicative bacteriophage T4 genes explains impaired T4 DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli rho (nusD) mutants.

    abstract::The Escherichia coli rho 026 mutation that alters the transcription termination protein Rho prevents growth of wild-type bacteriophage T4. Among the consequences of this mutation are delayed and reduced T4 DNA replication. We show that these defects can be explained by defective synthesis of certain T4 replication-rec...
