Iwaki H, Shimizu M, Tokuyama T, Hasegawa Y: Purification and characterization of a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase from the cyclohexylamine-degrading Brevibacterium oxydans IH-35A. J Biosci Bioeng. 1999;88(3):264-8.
Cyclohexylamine oxidase (CHAO) from a cell extract of Brevibacterium grown on cyclohexylamine was purified 50.2-fold, to electrophoretic homogeneity, by serial chromatographies. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was estimated to be approximately 50 kDa by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH was 7.4 and the stable pH range was 6.0 to 7.0. The enzyme was thermostable up to 30 degrees C. The enzyme was found to be highly specific for the deamination of alicyclic monoamines such as cyclopentylamine, cycloheptylamine, and N-methylcyclohexylamine and aliphatic monoamines, such as sec-butylamine. The apparent K (m) value for cyclohexylamine was 1.23 mM. The enzyme was inhibited by flavin enzyme inhibitors such as quinine and quinacrine. The N-terminal 27 amino acid residues were determined as Gly-Ser-Val-Thr-Pro-Asp-Pro-Asp-Val-Asp-Val-Ile-Ile-His-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ile-Se r-Gly-Ser-Ala-Ala-Ala-Lys-Ala-Leu-, revealing homology to conventional flavin-containing amine oxidases (EC 1.4.3.4). |
