摘要
The first thermophilic eubacterial glutamate dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus acidocaldarius to compare its molecular properties with those of the glutamate dehydrogenase from thermophilic archaea. Glutamate dehydrogenase represents 2% of the total soluble proteins of B. acidocaldarius, an amount that may suggest an important role for this enzyme in nitrogen metabolism of the thermophilic eubacterium. The protein is a hexamer (subunit mass 48 kDa) and undergoes dissociation during gel filtration analysis. Isoelectric focusing of the purified enzyme indicated a pI of 4.5. The enzyme is strictly specific for NAD, 2-oxoglutarate, and L-glutamate. The thermal stability of B. acidocaldarius glutamate dehydrogenase is dependent on protein concentration.
