Physical studies on the effect of temperature and ionic conditions on the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of the ribosomal "A" protein, equivalent to L7/L12 in Escherichia coli, from two archaebacteria were performed using circular dichroism and sedimentation equilibrium measurements. The two archaebacteria investigated were Halobacterium cutirubrum, an extreme halophile, and Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, a thermophile which also showed properties of a moderate halophile. The changes in the secondary structure and the thermostability of these proteins were directly related to the internal salt concentrations of the two archaebacteria. At the higher salt concentrations the changes in the secondary structure resulted in changes in the tertiary and quaternary structure of these proteins.

1. The combined effect of the sugar nucleotides UDP-D-fucose or UDP-D-glucuronic acid together with the free sugars D-fucose or L-arabinose is the inactivation of the Escherichia coli enzyme UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2). The sugar nucleotide or the free sugar alone or the sugar nucleotide plus 5'-Ump do not inactivate the enzyme. 2. The inactivation of the enzyme by its substrate UDP-D-glucose was not affected by the presence of free sugar. 3. In all cases the inactivation observed follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. 4. A comparison of various sugar nucleotides indicates that the hydroxymethyl group at position 6 of the sugar moiety of the natural substrates is important for substrate binding.

UDP-6-deoxygalactose inhibits the UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) from Escherichia coli in a competitive manner with respect to the substrate UDP-galactose, giving Ki 1.3×10-3m. As a substrate for the enzyme, it is transformed into UDP-6-deoxyglucose, although the reaction stops before equilibrium is attained. Possible causes of this behaviour are discussed.
