Physical and kinetic effects on induction of various linker regions in beta-galactosidase/galactose dehydrogenase fusion enzymes
(1996) In Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1293(1). p.60-154- Abstract
To examine the role of the connecting region in the artificial bifunctional enzyme beta-galactosidase/galactose dehydrogenase, linkers of different length were inserted between the catalytic units. The specific activity of the galactose dehydrogenase part of the complex was increased when longer linkers (9 and 13 amino acids) were used as connectors. These bifunctional enzymes were predominantly found to comprise hexamers, however, complexes of higher molecular weight were also formed. The sequential reaction was carried out more efficiently when hybrid enzymes with the longer linkers were used as demonstrated both in vitro by using purified protein preparations as well as in vivo by determining the growth rates of recombinant E. coli...
