Synechococcus PCC 7942, a cyanobacterium, possesses catalase–peroxidase as the sole hydrogen peroxide-scavenging system. The enzyme has been purified to electrophoretic homogenenity from the cells. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of 150 kDa and was composed of two identical subunits of molecular mass 79 kDa. The apparent Km value of the catalase activity for H2O2 was 4.2±0.27 mM and the kcat value was 2.6×104 s-1. The enzyme contained high catalase activity and an appreciable peroxidase activity with o-dianisidine and pyrogallol. The catalase activity was not inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole but by KCN and NaN3 (apparent Ki values 19.3±0.84 and 20.2±0.95 μM respectively). The enzyme showed an absorption spectrum of typical protohaem and contained one protohaem molecule per dimer. The gene encoding catalase–peroxidase was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of Synechococcus PCC 7942. A 2160 bp open reading frame (ORF), coding a catalase–peroxidase of 720 amino acid residues (approx. 79.9 kDa), was observed. The deduced amino acid sequence coincided with that of the N-terminus of the purified enzyme and showed a remarkable similarity to those of a family of catalase–peroxidases of prokaryotic cells. Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)plysS, harbouring a recombinant plasmid containing the catalase–peroxidase gene, produced a large amount of proteins that co-migrated on SDS/PAGE with the native enzyme. The recombinant enzyme showed the same ratio of catalase activity to peroxidase activity with o-dianisidine and the same Km for H2O2 as the native enzyme.

Phosphorylase b which had been inactivated with 5-diazo-1H-tetrazole was specifically labelled with 4-iodoacetamidosalicylic acid (a fluorescent probe) or with N-(1-oxyl-2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)iodoacetamide (a spin label probe) so that the binding of ligands and accompanying conformational changes could be determined by fluorescence or electron spin resonance changes, respectively. The allosteric effector, AMP, causes conformational changes similar to those caused in the native enzyme. The affinity of binding of phosphate or AMP to the inhibited protein is the same as for the unmodified protein. The heterotropic interactions between glucose-1-phosphate or glycogen and AMP are much less in the inactivated enzyme than in unmodified phosphorylase. Using a light scattering assay, it is shown that the modified enzyme binds to glycogen less strongly than the native protein.Phosphorylase b which had been inactivated by carbodiimide in the presence of glycine ethyl ester, resulting in the modification of one or more carboxyl groups, was labelled with the spin label probe described above. The modified enzyme has an affinity for AMP similar to that of the native enzyme. AMP binding to the modified enzyme is tightened by glycogen, weakened by glucose-6-phosphate and is unaffected by glucose- 1-phosphate.The actions of 5-diazo-1H-tetrazole and carbodiimide on phosphorylase are discussed in the light of the above observations.
