Glycinamide ribotide transformylase from Escherichia coli was obtained free of N5,N10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activity by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. In reaction mixtures containing this enzyme preparation in potassium maleate buffer, pH 7.2, no detectable interconversion of N5,N10-methenyltetrahydrofolate occurred. Upon addition of glycinamide ribotide, N-formylglycinamide ribotide was formed when N10-formyltetrahydrofolate was present; no formylation occurred in the presence of N5,N10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. A method for the synthesis and purification of glycinamide ribotide is presented.
通过二乙氨基乙基纤维素色谱法获得了不含N5,N10-亚甲基四氢叶酸环水解酶活性的大肠杆菌甘氨酰胺核糖核苷酸转甲酰基酶。在含有该酶制剂的马来酸钾缓冲液(pH 7.2)反应混合物中,未检测到N5,N10-亚甲基四氢叶酸的相互转化。加入甘氨酰胺核糖核苷酸后,当存在N10-甲酰四氢叶酸时会形成N-甲酰甘氨酰胺核糖核苷酸;在N5,N10-亚甲基四氢叶酸存在的情况下不会发生甲酰化反应。本文介绍了一种甘氨酰胺核糖核苷酸的合成及纯化方法。
