The glucosyltransferase which catalyzes the conversion of GlcNAc-PP-undecaprenol into Glc(beta 1----4)GlcNAc-PP-undecaprenol in the presence of UDP-glucose was solubilized from Bacillus coagulans AHU 1366 membranes by treatment with 0.1% Triton X-100 and partially purified by means of column chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 and DEAE-Sephacel. The final preparation was virtually free from other enzymes involved in the de novo synthesis of teichoic acid. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.6-8.0 and a Km value for UDP-glucose of 21 microM. The enzyme required 40 mM MgCl2, 0.6 M KCl, and 0.1% Nonidet P-40 for full activity.
在UDP-葡萄糖存在的情况下,催化GlcNAc-PP-十一异戊烯醇转化为Glc(β1----4)GlcNAc-PP-十一异戊烯醇的葡糖基转移酶,通过用0.1% Triton X-100处理从凝结芽孢杆菌AHU 1366膜中溶解出来,并通过Sephacryl S-300和DEAE-琼脂糖凝胶柱色谱法进行部分纯化。最终制剂几乎不含参与磷壁酸从头合成的其他酶。该酶的最适pH为6.6 - 8.0,UDP-葡萄糖的Km值为21μM。该酶需要40 mM MgCl2、0.6 M KCl和0.1% Nonidet P-40才能达到完全活性。
