Properties of a new enzyme, nucleoside oxidase, from Pseudomonas maltophilia LB-86.

Abstract: The enzyme contains 1 mol of covalently bound FAD, 2g atoms of nonheme iron, 2 mol of labile sulfides, and 1 mol of heme per mol enzyme protein. The absorption spectrum of nucleoside oxidase had maxima 278 and 390nm, and shoulders at 343 and 450nm. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of various nucleosides, and the Kmvalue for inosine was 4.4 x 10"5 M. The enzyme was most active at pH 5-6, and was most stable between pH 5.0-6.0 and at temperatures below 60°C. The activity was strongly inhibited by /V-bromosucci… Show more

“…The enzyme was digested by pronase and then incubated with phosphodiesterase. AMP was found in amounts of 3 mol per mol of enzyme by an enzymatic method with myokinase (5). This result suggests that the enzyme contains covalently bound flavin compound, probably flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), at 3 mol per mol of enzyme.…”

“…Only one enzyme, nucleoside oxidase (EC 1.1.3.28), has been reported to catalyze oxidation of nucleosides. The enzyme from Pseudomonas maltophilia (3)(4)(5)(6) catalyzes the oxidation of nucleosides to the corresponding nucleoside-5Ј-carboxylic acid via nucleoside-5Јaldehyde, using molecular oxygen as a primary electron acceptor, without formation of hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme also shows laccase-like activity in the presence of nucleosides (6).…”

“…Nucleoside oxidase has been reported to be one of the enzymes responsible for the oxidative degradation of nucleosides. The Pseudomonas maltophilia enzyme [1–4] was shown to catalyze the oxidation of nucleosides to the corresponding nucleoside‐5′‐carboxylic acids via nucleoside‐5′‐aldehydes using molecular O 2 as a primary electron acceptor without the formation of H 2 O 2 . Recently, we found another type of nucleoside oxidase in Flavobacterium meningosepticum which produces H 2 O 2 in addition to the reaction products, nucleoside‐5′‐aldehyde and nucleoside‐5′‐carboxylic acid [5].…”
