[Isolation, purification and study of the stability of the soluble hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus Z-1].
Soluble hydrogenase was isolated from the hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus Z-1 and purified to electrophoretical homogeneity. The purification procedure included fractionation by ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gelfiltration through Ultragel AcA-34. The resulting preparation had a specific activity of 25 mkmoles H2.min-1.mg of protein as measured by the rate of hydrogen evolution from sodium dithionite-reduced methyl viologen. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 200,000 and is made up of two subunits with mol. weights of 30,000 and two subunits with mol. weights of 65,000. The effects of pH, oxidants and reducers, as well as aerobic and anaerobic conditions on the hydrogenase preparations inactivation kinetics in intact cells and in a highly purified state were studied. The kinetic data suggest a possible existence of two enzyme forms differing in their activities and stabilities to denaturating influences.
