Abstract

The phosphotriesterase produced from the opd cistron of Pseudomonas diminuta was purified 1500-fold to homogeneity using a combination of gel filtration, ion exchange, hydrophobic, and dye matrix chromatographic steps. This is the first organophosphate triesterase or organophosphofluoridate hydrolyzing enzyme to be purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is a monomeric, spherical protein having a molecular weight of 39,000. A single zinc atom is bound to the enzyme and is required for catalytic activity. Incubation with metal chelating compounds, o-phenanthroline, EDTA, or 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylate inactivate the enzyme. The kinetic rate constants, kcat and kcat/Km, for the hydrolysis of paraoxon are 2100 s-1 and 4 x 10(7) M-1 s-1, respectively. The enzyme is inhibited competitively by dithiothreitol, dithioerithritol, and beta-mercaptoethanol. In addition to paraoxon the phosphotriesterase was found to hydrolyze the commonly used organophosphorus insecticides, dursban, parathion, coumaphos, diazinon, fensulfothion, methyl parathion, and cyanophos.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
