Study into the kinetic properties and surface attachment of a thermostable adenylate kinase
2015, Biochemistry and Biophysics ReportsCitation Excerpt :The archaebacterium from which tAK is isolated is an extremophile found growing in volcanic springs in temperatures between 75 and 80 °C. The corresponding tAK isolated from this thermophile demonstrates a temperature optimum of around 90 °C and is stable to very low pH [4]. The novelty of tAK lies with its ability to withstand extreme conditions, tAK is currently in use in the clinical setting (WASHtAK [5]) as a model for highly surface adherent species commonly associated with residual surface contamination.
A new type of metal-binding site in cobalt- and zinc-containing adenylate kinases isolated from sulfate-reducers Desulfovibrio gigas and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774
2008, Journal of Inorganic BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :The “long AK family” is present in most bacteria, yeasts, mitochondria [9] and chloroplast [10] and contains a 20–30 amino acid residue insertion in the LID domain. The “short AK family” is isolated from mammalian cytosol and nucleus [11,12], and some bacteria [13–16]; in this case the insertion in the LID domain is reduced to a small irregular loop of less than 11 amino acids. However, the rest of the primary structure, the overall fold, and the side chains involved in nucleotide binding and catalysis are conserved among the short and long variants [17,18].
