RESUMO
Two forms of ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase (guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase) have been purified from Streptomyces antibioticus. The larger form has an M(r) of 88,000, while the M(r) of a smaller form is 47,000. Both synthetase forms are active in the formation of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, 3'-diphosphate in reaction mixtures containing methanol. Unlike the RelA protein from Escherichia coli, the synthetases from S. antibioticus do not use GDP efficiently as a substrate. Experiments using crude extracts of S. antibioticus mycelium and the 88,000-M(r) form of guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase strongly suggest that the 47,000-M(r) species is produced by proteolysis of the larger species. This conclusion is supported by the observation that antibody to either protein reacts with the other protein. Thus, the 88,000-M(r) species may be the catalytically relevant protein in vivo. Unlike the RelA protein, the 88,000-M(r) protein is not activated by ribosomes. Modest levels of guanosine pentaphosphate synthesis were observed in mycelial extracts derived from nine other actinomycetes.
