Abstract

Enolase, which catalyses the conversion of 2-phospho-D-glycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate, is an important enzyme in the classic glycolysis pathway in cells. Enolase is highly conserved in organisms from bacteria to humans, indicating its importance in cells. Thus, enolase is a good target for developing new drugs. In the last decade, new functions of this enzyme have been found.Helicobacter pylori is a common human pathogen that causes gastric diseases and even gastric cancer. In this study, the sequence of H. pylori enolase (HpEno) was analysed; the conservation (at least partial) of binding sites for cofactor, plasminogen, and host extracellular RNA, as well as catalytic site, indicates that HpEno should be capable of performing the functions. Recombinant HpEno was overexpressed and purified from E. coli. Compared to the enolases from other species, HpEno had similar characteristics for its secondary structure. The temperature-induced profiles indicate that HpEno is quite stable to temperature, compared to other homologs. Regarding the kinetics of the unfolding reaction, we found that the activation enthalpy associated with the thermal unfolding reaction is equivalent to the reported activation enthalpy for yeast enolase, indicating a similar scaffold and kinetic stability. Although a wide range of experimental conditions were assayed, it was not possible to detect any enzymatic activity of HpEno. To prove the lack of activity, still a much wider range of experiments should be carried out.

Figures

Figure 1 Alignment of the amino acid sequences of HpEno with homologs from different biological species. The species include H. pylori 26695 (P48285), H. cetorum (I0ELQ0), X. fastidiosa (Q9PDT8), S. pneumoniae (Q97QS2), E.coli (P0A6P9)and E. histolytica (N9UZM6), P. falciparum (Q27727), T. brucei (Q38BV6), S. cerevisiae (P00924), and human (α-enolase, P06733). The red signals under the letters represent rectangle, metal binding site reported only for humanα-enolase; open circle, substrate binding sites; star, active site residues; triangle, metal binding sites; close circle, subtract binding site in inhibited form. The black lines indicate the sites for RNA-binding and the dashed lines regions for plasminogen binding in S. pneumonia. The yellow line corresponds to loop L1, pink line to loop L2, and green line to loop L3, blue line corresponds to signature of enolase.

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.
