[Comparative characteristics of physico-chemical and regulating properties of aspartate kinases from three species of cyanobacteria].

: Aspartokinases have been isolated from the cell-free extracts of Plectonema boryanum, Anabaena variabilis and Synechococcus cedrorum. Their physico-chemical characteristics and peculiarities of retroregulation by amino acids were studied. It has been shown that in P. boryanum cells aspartokinase reaction is catalyzed by only one enzyme, which is similar to the previously described bacterial origin enzymes. Three izoenzymes, which differ in their main properties and amino acids-effectors, have been founded in the cells of A. variabilis. One enzyme with aspartokinase activity, which differs from other cyanobacteria enzymes in some physico-chemical features has been founded in the cells of S. cedrorum.
