Abstract:
A nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase from Streptococcus pyogenes MGAS10394 (SpNox) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The purified SpNox enzyme had optimal pH and temperature of 7.0 and 55°C, respectively, with a K(m) of 27.0μM and a k(cat)/K(m) of 1.1×10(7)s(-1)M(-1). SpNox showed the highest activity among all known NADH oxidases, and site-directed mutagenesis and docking analysis shed light on the molecular basis of its unusually high activity. The characteristics of SpNox may prove to be useful for NAD(+) regeneration in the production of l-rare sugar.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...

Fermentation
Fermentation is a type of metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where organic molecules such as glucose are broken down to produce energy. During this process, the...
