AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase (an enzyme) activity during the differentiation of two strains of Streptomyces griseus grown on solid media.
- Differences in enzyme levels were observed between the two strains, particularly one strain that does not form spores and shows low enzyme activity in submerged cultures.
- Nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase was found in varying amounts in surface cultures of both strains, indicating metabolic differences during growth.
Article Abstract
The occurrence of nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase (ATP: nucleotide 5'-phosphate pyrophosphotransferase, EC 2.7.4) and the changes in its activity were studied during differentiation in cultures of two Streptomyces griseus strains grown on the surface of a solid medium. One of the strains does not sporulate and produce nucleotide pyro photransferase in submerged culture. Nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase could be detected, though in much differing amounts, in surface cultures of both strains.

Adenosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, guanosine and inosine levels were assessed by HPLC, and the activity of related enzymes 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) measured in frontal (FC), parietal (PC) and temporal (TC) cortices at different stages of disease progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in age-matched controls. Significantly decreased levels of adenosine, guanosine, hypoxanthine and xanthine, and apparently less inosine, are found in FC from the early stages of AD; PC and TC show an opposing pattern, as adenosine, guanosine and inosine are significantly increased at least at determinate stages of AD whereas hypoxanthine and xanthine levels remain unaltered. 5'-NT is reduced in membranes and cytosol in FC mainly at early stages but not in PC, and only at advanced stages in cytosol in TC.

Streptomyces ATP nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase is an extracellular enzyme that transfers 5'-beta, gamma-pyrophosphoryl groups of ATP to a variety of nucleotides at the 3'-OH site. The enzyme gene was cloned from partially Sau3AI-digested chromosomal DNA of S. morookaensis in S.

Streptomyces ATP nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase is an extracellular, ribosome-independent, and stringent factor-mimic ppGpp synthetase with an unusually broad acceptor spectrum. The gene-containing DNA fragments cloned from chromosomal DNA of a producer S. morookaensis into pIJ699 and pUC plasmids were found to express the active enzyme in the transformed S.

Streptomyces nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase does not only transfer the 5'-beta, gamma-pyrophosphoryl group of ATP, ATP 3'-pyrophosphate or dATP to a variety of nucleotides at the 3'-OH site, but also adds 2',3'-cyclic terminal monophosphate to some suitable nucleotides with the use of diadenosine 5',5'-polyphosphates (n = 3-5). Examples are pA greater than p, ppA greater than p, pG greater than p, CpG greater than p, etc.

The synthesis of GTP- and ATP-3'-pyrophosphate by Streptomyces morookaensis nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase was little affected by the presence of a ribosome-deacylated tRNA-poly A, G, U mixture in vitro. The Streptomyces pyrophosphokinases thus do not appear, unlike bacterial stringent factors, to play a significant role in the cellular stringent control.
