Pyrimidine base catabolism in Pseudomonas putida biotype B.
West T.P.
Reductive catabolism of the pyrimidine bases uracil and thymine was found to occur in Pseudomonas putida biotype B. The pyrimidine reductive catabolic pathway enzymes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, dihydropyrimidinase and N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase activities were detected in this p ... >> More
Reductive catabolism of the pyrimidine bases uracil and thymine was found to occur in Pseudomonas putida biotype B. The pyrimidine reductive catabolic pathway enzymes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, dihydropyrimidinase and N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase activities were detected in this pseudomonad. The initial reductive pathway enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase utilized NADH or NADPH as its nicotinamide cofactor. The source of nitrogen in the culture medium influenced the reductive pathway enzyme activities and, in particular, dihydropyrimidinase activity was highly affected by nitrogen source. The reductive pathway enzyme activities in succinate-grown P. putida biotype B cells were induced when uracil served as the nitrogen source. << Less

Escherichia coli dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase is a novel NAD-dependent heterotetramer essential for the production of 5,6-dihydrouracil.
Hidese R., Mihara H., Kurihara T., Esaki N.
The reductive pyrimidine catabolic pathway is absent in Escherichia coli. However, the bacterium contains an enzyme homologous to mammalian dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Here, we show that E. coli dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase is the first member of a novel NADH-dependent subclass of iron-sul ... >> More
The reductive pyrimidine catabolic pathway is absent in Escherichia coli. However, the bacterium contains an enzyme homologous to mammalian dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Here, we show that E. coli dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase is the first member of a novel NADH-dependent subclass of iron-sulfur flavoenzymes catalyzing the conversion of uracil to 5,6-dihydrouracil in vivo. << Less

Purification and characterization of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus.
Schmitt U., Jahnke K., Rosenbaum K., Cook P.F., Schnackerz K.D.
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, MonoQ-Sepharose, and 2,5-ADP-Sepharose. The enzyme is a homotetramer with a subunit molecular mass of 52 kDa. The absorption spectrum ... >> More
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, MonoQ-Sepharose, and 2,5-ADP-Sepharose. The enzyme is a homotetramer with a subunit molecular mass of 52 kDa. The absorption spectrum of the bacterial dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase has maxima in the 300- and 400-nm region, suggesting a flavoprotein. The enzyme contains 4 mol FMN, about 24 mol iron and acidlabile sulfide per mole of protein, implying a flavoprotein with FeS centers. The bacterial dehydrogenase is NADPH dependent with B-side stereospecificity. The initial velocity patterns of the bacterial dehydrogenase together with isotope exchange at equilibrium and a quantitative analysis of the product and dead-end inhibition data suggest a rapid equilibrium random kinetic mechanism, which is in contrast to results obtained for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase from pig liver. The pig liver enzyme adheres to a nonclassical two-site ping-pong kinetic mechanism [B. Podschun, P. F. Cook, and K. D. Schnackerz (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 12966-12972], whereas for the bovine enzyme a rapid equilibrium random kinetic mechanism was proposed based on steady-state kinetic data [D. J. T. Porter and T. Spector (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 19321-19327]. << Less

Isolation and characterization of an Escherichia coli B mutant strain defective in uracil catabolism.
West T.P.
A reductive pathway of uracil catabolism was shown to be functioning in Escherichia coli B ATCC 11303 by virtue of thin-layer chromatographic and enzyme analyses.

A reductive pathway of uracil catabolism was shown to be functioning in Escherichia coli B ATCC 11303 by virtue of thin-layer chromatographic and enzyme analyses. A mutant defective in uracil catabolism was isolated from this strain and subsequently characterized. The three enzyme activities associated with the reductive pathway of pyrimidine catabolism were detectable in the wild-type E. coli B cells, while the mutant strain was found to be deficient for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity. The dehydrogenase was shown to utilize NADPH as its nicotinamide cofactor. Growth of ATCC 11303 cells on uracil or glutamic acid instead of ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source increased the reductive pathway enzyme activities. The mutant strain exhibited increased catabolic enzyme activities after growth on ammonium sulfate or glutamic acid. << Less

Pyrimidine catabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated. It was found that the pyrimidine bases uracil and thymidine as well as their respective reductive catabolic products could be utilized as sole sources of nitrogen. Reductive degradation of the pyrimidine bases was noted. The reductive catabolic pathway enzymes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, dihydropyrimidinase and N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase were all detected in minimal medium grown cells. Induction of pyrimidine catabolism by uracil was observed in this pseudomonad. Pyrimidine degradation in P. aeruginosa was not subject to catabolite repression. << Less
