  • Title: The tylosin producer, Streptomyces fradiae, contains a second valine dehydrogenase.

    Journal: Microbiology (Reading); 1995 May; 141 ( Pt 5)():1139-1145. PubMed ID: 7773408.
    Abstract:
    A second NAD-dependent valine dehydrogenase (VDH) of Streptomyces fradiae was detected and purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on Reactive-Blue 2 Sepharose followed by gel filtration and Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography. The relative molecular masses of the native enzyme and its subunits were determined to be 80,000 and 41,000, respectively, indicating that the enzyme is a homodimer. The enzyme was the only active VDH in S. fradiae; its activity was significantly induced by L-valine, but was repressed by ammonia. Among branched- and straight-chain amino acids that serve as enzyme substrates, L-2-aminobutyrate and L-valine are preferred. Significant activities were found with deamino-NAD+ and 3-pyridinealdehyde-NAD+. The molecular and catalytic properties of the enzyme distinguish it from the enzyme previously purified, and thus indirectly indicate the existence of two VDHs in S. fradiae.
