Abstract:
An NADP(H)-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Haloferax mediterranei has been purified to apparent homogeneity and characterised. The purified enzyme was stabilized by glycerol in absence of salt. Glutamate dehydrogenase from Hf. mediterranei is a hexameric enzyme with a native molecular mass of 320 kDa composed of monomers each with a molecular mass of 55 kDa. At pH 8.5 the enzyme has Kms of 0.018, 0.34 and 4.2 mM for NADP+, 2-oxoglutarate and ammonium, respectively. Amino acid composition and sequence of the first 16 residues of the N-terminus have been determined.
