説明
An NADP-linked acetoacetyl-CoA reductase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from Zoogloea ramigera I-16-M, a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-accumulating bacterium. The purified enzyme showed specific activity of 412 mumol acetoacetyl-CoA reduced per min per mg protein, which constituted an 880-fold purification compared to the crude extract, with a 32% yield. Electrophoretic analysis of the purified enzyme which had been cross-linked with dimethylsuberimidate showed that the native enzyme (Mr 92,000) is a tetramer of four identical subunits (Mr 25,500). Among the various D-(-)- and L-(+)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs tested, the purified enzyme oxidized only D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and to a lesser extent D-(-)-3-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA in the presence of NADP+. The antiserum prepared against the purified enzyme completely inhibited poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis from acetyl-CoA by a crude extract of Z. ramigera I-16-M cells. These findings indicate that this enzyme plays an indispensable role as the supplier of D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis in this bacterium.
