Figure 8. Comparison of NHases encoded by the A-B-P14K and B-A-P14K genes.

Figure 8

(A) Expression and purification of NHases encoded by the A-B-P14K and B-A-P14K genes. 1, markers; 2, cell extract of the transformant containing pET-A-B-P14K; 3, cell extract of the transformant containing pET-B-A-P14K; 4, purified NHase from the transformant containing pET-A-B-P14K; 5, purified NHase from the transformant containing pET-B-A-P14K. (B) Catalytic efficiency of the two NHases encoded by B-A-P14K was a little superior to that encoded by A-B-P14K. The two transformants harboring pET-A-B-P14K and pET-B-A-P14K were incubated under the same condition as described in EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES, respectively, high concentration of 3-cyanopyridine (430 mM, final) was added after IPTG addition. The values represent the means±SD for at least triplicate independent experiments.
