Abstract
ATP:citrate lyase [ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase; EC 4.1.3.8] was purified and characterized from the cells of Hydrogenobacter thermophilus, an aerobic, thermophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium which fixes carbon dioxide by a reductive carboxylic acid cycle. The enzyme was quite stable, even in the absence of sulfhydryl reagents. Optimum pH for reaction was 6.7 to 6.9, and optimum temperature was around 80 degrees C. The molecular weight of native enzyme was estimated to be 260,000 by gel filtration analysis, and that of a subunit was estimated to be 43,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis. Km values for reaction components were as follows: citrate, 6.25 mM; ATP, 650 microM; coenzyme A, 40.8 microM; and Mg2+, 8 mM. The enzyme showed citrate synthase activity in the presence of Mg2+, but the reaction rate was very low (less than 1/200 of the lyase activity).
