Abstrakt: Homogeneous preparation of L-methionine gamma-lyase was isolated from Ps. taetrolens. As shown by gel filtration and gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis molecular mass of the native L-methionine gamma-lyase was 130-135 kDa. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in presence of 0.1% SDS showed that L-methionine gamma-lyase proved to be a tetramer, which consisted of identical subunits with a molecular mass of 34 kDa. Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate was bound to the enzyme in the ratio of four moles of the cofactor per a mole of protein. The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibited maximal values at 420 nm, which is specific for a number of pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzymes. L-methionine gamma-lyase from Ps. taetrolens was found to be dissimilar in its physicochemical and catalytic properties to the same enzymes from other sources.
