The recombinant PPX1 was similar to the PPX1 of wild strains in its substrate specificity and requirement for cations. PPX1 had the high substrate specificity to polyphosphates. The preparation was suitable for polyphosphate assay in the presence of orthophosphate and nucleoside phosphates not hydrolyzed by PPX1. The yield of the enzyme preparation was 250 assays per 1 g of the biomass. The recombinant PPX1 was successfully used in polyphosphate assay in different yeast species and some foodstuffs.展开更多

In this study, we have found a new activity of this protein: it releases phosphate from dATP. The dATP phosphohydrolase activity of pure PPN1 was ~7-fold lower compared to the exopolyphosphatase activity. This activity was strongly stimulated by Co<sup>2+</sup> ions, as well as by ammonium ions, and inhibited by heparin and pyrophosphate similar to the exopolyphosphatase activity of PPN1. The Km value for dATP was 0.88 ± 0.14 mM. The dATP phosphohydrolase activity in the cells of PPN1-overexpressing yeast strain was several-fold higher than that in the parent strain. The other exopolyphosphatase of S. cerevisiae, PPX1, did not split Pi from dATP.展开更多
