Separation and characterization of two UTP-utilizing hexose phosphate uridylyltransferases from Entamoeba histolytica.
Lobelle-Rich P.A., Reeves R.E.
Two UTP-utilizing uridylyltransferases which react with both glucose 1-phosphate and galactose 1-phosphate were isolated from cell-free extracts of Entamoeba histolytica. The more specific of these enzymes, glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, acts preferentially on glucose 1-phosphate, having ... >> More
Two UTP-utilizing uridylyltransferases which react with both glucose 1-phosphate and galactose 1-phosphate were isolated from cell-free extracts of Entamoeba histolytica. The more specific of these enzymes, glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, acts preferentially on glucose 1-phosphate, having a maximum velocity 20-fold greater with this substrate than with galactose 1-phosphate. It was purified 200 fold with a 25% yield and has a molecular weight of 45 000. This enzyme requires a reducing agent for stability. The less specific transferase reacts with both hexose phosphates, having a maximum velocity of 1.35 times greater with galactose 1-phosphate. It was purified 1000 fold with a 20% yield, and has a molecular weight of 40 000. The common Leloir enzyme, UDP glucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylytransferase (EC 2.7.7.12), was not found in this organism. To avoid confusion with the Leloir enzyme our experience suggests that the less specific enzyme, which is presently referred to in the literature as galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.10), should be named UTP:hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.?). The more specific enzyme (EC 2.7.7.9) should be more clearly named UTP:glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. << Less

Purification and properties of UDP-glucose (UDP-galactose) pyrophosphorylase from Bifidobacterium bifidum.
Lee L., Kimura A., Tochikura T.
An enzyme having both UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) pyrophosphorylase activities was purified to homogeneity from Bifidobacterium bifidum. The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 200,000 and it appeared to be composed of four identical subunits. The purified enzyme showed ... >> More
An enzyme having both UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) pyrophosphorylase activities was purified to homogeneity from Bifidobacterium bifidum. The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 200,000 and it appeared to be composed of four identical subunits. The purified enzyme showed almost the same reactivity towards UDP-Glc and UDP-Gal, and showed about 10% of this activity towards UDP-xylose at 8 mM. The enzyme required magnesium ions for maximum activity. The apparent equilibrium constants were about 2.5 for UDP-Glc pyrophosphorolysis and 1.1 for UDP-Gal pyrophosphorolysis. The enzyme activities were inhibited by various nucleotides (product or substrate analogs). Some sugar phosphates, such as fructose 6-P, erythrose 4-P, and 3-phosphoglycerate, stimulated the activities. These properties are discussed in relation to the significance of the enzyme in galactose metabolism of B. bifidum. << Less
