NADP-malic enzymes (NADP-ME) are isozymes in plants. To clarify the diversity and function of NADP-ME isozymes in rice, we produced two active GST-fused NADP-ME proteins, NADP-ME2 and NADP-ME3 in Escherichia coli, and the fusion proteins were purified by affinity chromatography using a glutathione-Sepharose 4B column. After enzymatic cleavage of the GST tag, final yields were 1.4 mg/g wet cell weight (wcw) for NADP-ME2 and 3.5 mg/g wcw for NADP-ME3, respectively, and the molecular weights of NADP-ME2 and NADP-ME3 were about 65 and 62 kDa, respectively. The optimum pH is 7.3 for NADP-ME2 and 7.7 for NADP-ME3. The Km values for malate of NADP-ME2 and NADP-ME3 were 2.6 and 3.1 mM, whereas the Km values for NADP were 79 and 93 microM, respectively. The Kcat values of NADP-ME2 and NADP-ME3 for malate were about 91.7 and 96.7 s-1, respectively, and the Kcat values for NADP about 88.3 and 98.3 s-1, respectively. These results suggest that the two rice isozymes of NADP-ME in vitro have similar kinetic parameter.
NADP - 苹果酸酶(NADP - ME)是植物中的同工酶。为了阐明水稻中NADP - ME同工酶的多样性和功能,我们在大肠杆菌中产生了两种活性的谷胱甘肽 - S - 转移酶(GST)融合的NADP - ME蛋白,即NADP - ME2和NADP - ME3,并使用谷胱甘肽 - 琼脂糖4B柱通过亲和色谱法纯化融合蛋白。在对GST标签进行酶切后,NADP - ME2的最终产量为1.4 mg/g湿细胞重量(wcw),NADP - ME3的最终产量为3.5 mg/g wcw,NADP - ME2和NADP - ME3的分子量分别约为65 kDa和62 kDa。NADP - ME2的最适pH为7.3,NADP - ME3的最适pH为7.7。NADP - ME2和NADP - ME3对苹果酸的Km值分别为2.6和3.1 mM,而对NADP的Km值分别为79和93 μM。NADP - ME2和NADP - ME3对苹果酸的Kcat值分别约为91.7和96.7 s-1,对NADP的Kcat值分别约为88.3和98.3 s-1。这些结果表明,水稻中的两种NADP - ME同工酶在体外具有相似的动力学参数。
