Effect of Monovalent Cations on the Malic Enzyme from the Extreme Halophile, Halobacterium cutirubrum

PMCID: PMC247297  PMID: 5057771

Abstract

The malic enzyme from Halobacterium cutirubrum requires monovalent cations for both activation and stabilization. NaCl, the best stabilizer, is ineffective as activator; NH4Cl, the best activator, is a poor stabilizer. These results support the idea that the roles of salts in both processes are different.
