Research Abstract

Bilirubin oxidase is the enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of bilirubin to biliverudin and a multi-copper enzyme containing type 1, type 2, and type 3 copper in the ratio of 1 : 1 : 2, respectively. Ferrocyanide ion (Fe (CN) _6^<4->) is a good substrate for bilirubin oxidase. Michaelis-Menten constant (K_m) and molar activity (K_<cat>) are 3.0*10^<-3>M and 300 sec^<-1>. Cr (CN) _6^<3-> that is structually similar to Fe (CN) _6^<4-> inhibits competitively the oxidation of Fe (CN) _6^<4->. The inhibition constant of Cr (CN) _6^<3-> is 3.0*10^<-3> M that is almost same value of K_m of Fe (CN) _6^<4->2. These results indicate that Cr (CN) _6^<3-> binds the binding site of Fe (CN) _6^<4-> in bilirubin oxidase. The gene of bilirubin oxidase was cloned and the nucleotide sequence of bilirubin oxidase has been determined. On the basis of the nucleotide sequence of bilirubin oxidase, the complete amino acid sequence of bilirubin oxidase has been determined. The amino acid residues that coordinate to cupric ions were decided and those that are around substrate binding site also are also guessed.
