Arginase of Bacillus brevis Nagano: purification, properties, and implication in gramicidin S biosynthesis.
An arginase [EC 3.5.3.1] was purified to homogeneous state from a gramicidin S-producing Bacillus brevis Nagano. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 180,000 on gel filtration. The subunit… Expand

Three conserved glycine residues in valine activation of gramicidin S synthetase 2 from Bacillus brevis.
The translated product from the gene fragment containing the second and third domains of gramicidin S synthetase 2 was purified to an essentially homogeneous state. It showed valine- and… Expand

Some mutants of Bacillus brevis deficient in gramicidin S formation.
Twenty mutants of Bacillus brevis which were deficient in gramicidin S formation were isolated by N-methyl-N′-nitrosoguanidine treatment. In addition to three groups which have been previously… Expand

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the gramicidin S synthetase 1 gene.
The entire gene for gramicidin S synthetase 1 (GS 1) was cloned into the plasmid vector pUC18, and the nucleotide sequences of the GS 1 gene and its flanking region were determined. The full-length… Expand

Effect of single base substitutions at glycine-870 codon of gramicidin S synthetase 2 gene on proline activation.
The mutant gene coding for a proline-activating domain (grs2-pro) was cloned and sequenced from Bacillus brevis Nagano, BII-3 strain, which produces gramicidin S synthetase 2 defective in… Expand

Sulfhydryl groups related to the catalytic activity of gramicidin S synthetase 1 of Bacillus brevis.
Gramicidin S synthetase 1 (GS 1) [EC 5.1.1.11] (phenylalanine racemase) of Bacillus brevis contained about six sulfhydryl groups as determined by titration of the enzyme with 5,5'-dithiobis… Expand

A comparative study of sulfhydryl groups required for the catalytic activity of gramicidin S synthetase and isoleucyl tRNA synthetase.
The sulfhydryl groups required for the catalytic activity of gramicidin S synthetase of Bacillus brevis and Escherichia coli isoleucyl tRNA synthetase were compared. In gramicidin S synthetase 2(GS… Expand
