Abstract Catalytically active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) produced in E. coli are an interesting but currently underexplored strategy for enzyme immobilization. They can be purified easily and used directly as stable and reusable heterogenous catalysts. However, very few examples of CatIBs that are naturally formed during heterologous expression have been reported so far. Previous studies have revealed that the adenosine 5'-monophosphate phosphorylase of Thermococcus kodakarensis (TkAMPpase) forms large soluble multimers with high thermal stability. Herein, we show that heat treatment of solubilized protein induces aggregation of active protein which phosphorolysis all natural 5’-mononucleotides. Additionally, inclusion bodies formed during the expression in E. coli were found to be similarly active with 2−6 folds higher specific activity compared to the heat-induced aggregates. Interestingly, differences in the substrate preference were observed. These results show that the recombinant thermostable TkAMPpase is one of rare examples of naturally formed CatIBs.

Apple leaf ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase was purified 1436-fold to apparent homogeneity with a specific activity of 58.9 units mg–1. The enzyme was activated by 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) and inhibited by inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the ADPG synthesis direction. In the pyrophosphorolytic direction, however, high concentrations of PGA (> 2.5 mm) inhibited the enzyme activity. The enzyme was resistant to thermal inactivation with a T0.5 (temperature at which 50% of the enzyme activity is lost after 5 min incubation) of 52°C. Incubation with 2 mm PGA or 2 mm Pi increased T0.5 to 68°C. Incubation with 2 mm dithiothreitol (DTT) decreased T0.5 to 42°C, whereas inclusion of 2 mm PGA in the DTT incubation maintained T0.5 at 52°C. DTT-induced decrease in thermal stability was accompanied by monomerisation of the small subunits. Presence of PGA in the DTT incubation did not alter the monomerisation of the small subunits of the enzyme induced by DTT. These findings indicate that binding of PGA renders apple leaf AGPase with a conformation that is not only more efficient in catalysis but also more stable to heat treatment. The physiological significance of the protective effect of PGA on thermal inactivation of AGPase is discussed.

Abstract ToughMet 2 is a high performance, wrought, heat treatable, lead-free strip Cu-Ni alloy that imparts superior mechanical performance and high thermal stability to plain bearing applications. Parts are easily formed and they can be machined either before or after heat treatment. ToughMet alloys are a line of spinodal hardened Cu-Ni anti-galling alloys for bearings capable of performing with a variety of shafting materials and lubricants. The alloys combine a high lubricity with wear resistance in these severe loading conditions. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming and machining. Filing Code: Cu-724. Producer or source: Materion Brush Performance Alloys. Originally published September 2004, revised May 2013.
