Streptococcus gordonii soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase: an important role for the interdomain region in enzyme activity.

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus gordonii DL1(Challis) soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase was shown to be a homo dimer with a subunit molecular mass of 33407. In solution, in the presence of Mn(2+), the protein is ellipsoidal with an axial ratio of 3.37 and molecular mass of 67000. In the absence of the divalent cation, the molecular mass is unchanged but the axial ratio increases to 3.94. The enzyme, in the presence of 5 mM Mg(2+),...
