Effects of water and silica gel on enzyme agglomeration in organic solvents

It has been observed that water, which is absolutely essential for enzyme activity, can induce the agglomeration of enzyme particles in organic media. Although enzyme agglomeration is significant in that it usually reduces enzyme activity and stability, little attention has been paid to the quantitative analysis of enzyme agglomeration behavior in nonaqueous bioactalytic systems. In this study, the effects of water and silica gel on enzyme agglomeration were investigated usingCandida rugosa lipase and cyclohexane as a model enzyme and an organic medium. The extent of enzyme agglomeration was quantified by sieve analysis of freeze-dried agglomerates. Increasing the water content of the medium increased the size of the enzyme agglomerates, and it was found that water produced during the esterification reaction could also promote the agglomeration of enzyme particles suspended in organic media. On the other hand, the size of the enzyme agglomerates was remarkably reduced in the presence of silica gel at the same water content. We also show that this increase in the size of enzyme agglomerates results in lower reaction rates in organic solvents.

A dual mechanism regulates the insulin stimulation of hepatic malic enzyme

The activity of malic enzyme, an important hepatic lipogenic enzyme, is stimulated in diabetic rats by insulin administration. This process was shown to involve increases in both enzyme quantity and the specific activity (units activity/nmol enzyme) of the enzyme. Therefore, the coupling of these two regulatory mechanisms was responsible for the insulin-mediated increase in malic enzyme activity.     

Enzyme synthesis in the regulation of hepatic `malic'' enzyme activity

A homogeneous preparation of ;malic' enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) from livers of thyroxine-treated rats was used to prepare in rabbits an antiserum to the enzyme that reacts monospecifically with the ;malic' enzyme in livers of rats in several physiological states. Changes in enzyme activity resulting from modification of the state of the animal are hence due to an altered amount of enzyme protein. The antiserum has been used to precipitate out ;malic' enzyme from heat-treated supernatant preparations of livers from both adult and neonatal rats, in a number of physiological conditions, that had been injected 30min earlier with l-[4,5-(3)H]leucine. The low incorporations of radioactivity into the immunoprecipitable enzyme have permitted the qualitative conclusion that changed enzyme activity in adult rats arises mainly from alterations in the rate of enzyme synthesis. The marked increase in ;malic' enzyme activity that occurs naturally or as a result of thyroxine treatment of the weanling rat is likewise due to a marked increase in the rate of enzyme synthesis possibly associated with a concurrent diminished rate of enzyme degradation.     

Isolation and properties of rat plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase

Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase was purified from rat plasma and the properties of this enzyme during the purification procedures and those of the purified enzyme were investigated in comparison with the human enzyme. The rat enzyme was not adsorbed on hydroxyapatite, which was employed for the purification of the human enzyme. When purified human enzyme was incubated at 37 degrees C in 0.1 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4; ionic strength, 0.00025), no alteration of enzyme activity was observed for up to 6 h. In the case of the rat enzyme, however, approximately 40% of the enzyme activity was lost under the same conditions. The human enzyme and rat enzyme were both retained on a Sepharose 4B column to which HDL3 was covalently linked, in 39 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Although the human enzyme was eluted from the column in 1 mM phosphate buffer, the rat enzyme was dissociated from the column at a lower buffer concentration (0.1 mM phosphate buffer). These findings indicate that the rat enzyme effectively associated with HDL3 in 39 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, but the association was more sensitive to increase of ionic strength compared with that of the human enzyme.     

Immunological characterization of maize starch branching enzymes

Highly purified fractions of three starch branching enzymes from developing maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm were used to prepare antisera in rabbits. In double diffusion experiments, no immunoprecipitate was observed when branching enzyme IIa or IIb was tested against branching enzyme I antiserum. No immunoprecipitate was formed when branching enzyme I was tested against branching enzyme IIa or IIb antiserum. Increasing amounts of antisera in the above combinations also failed to inhibit enzyme activity. Branching enzyme IIa antiserum cross-reacted and formed spurs with branching enzyme IIb when compared with branching enzyme IIa antigen. Comparison of branching enzyme IIb antiserum with branching enzyme IIa also resulted in an immunoprecipitate. Increasing levels of branching enzyme IIa antiserum inhibited branching enzyme IIb as did the reciprocal combination. The data indicated that branching enzymes IIa and IIb are immunologically similar while branching enzyme I is distinct. The data supports the classification of starch branching enzymes based on genetic, kinetic, and chromatographic properties.     

A small hydrophobic domain that localizes human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase in liposomal membranes is cleaved by papain digestion

A small hydrophobic domain in isolated human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase is responsible for the interaction of this enzyme with detergent micelles and the aggregation of the enzyme on removal of detergent. Papain has been shown to cleave this hydrophobic domain and to generate a fully active hydrophilic enzyme that shows no tendency to interact with detergents or to aggregate [Dutta-Choudhury, T.A., & Rosenberry, T.L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5653-5660]. We report here that the intact enzyme could be reconstituted into phospholipid liposomes while the papain-disaggregated enzyme showed no capacity for reconstitution. More than 80% of the enzyme reconstituted into small liposomes could be released by papain digestion as the hydrophilic form. Papain was less effective in releasing the enzyme from large liposomes that were probably multilamellar. In a novel application of affinity chromatography on acridinium resin, enzyme reconstituted into small liposomes in the presence of excess phospholipid was purified to a level of 1 enzyme molecule per 4000 phospholipid molecules, a ratio expected if each enzyme molecule was associated with a small, unilamellar liposome. Subunits in the hydrophilic enzyme form released from reconstituted liposomes by papain digestion showed a mass decrease of about 2 kilodaltons relative to the intact subunits according to acrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, a difference similar to that observed previously following papain digestion of the soluble enzyme aggregates. The data were consistent with the hypothesis that the same hydrophobic domain in the enzyme is responsible for the interaction of the enzyme with detergent micelles, the aggregation of the enzyme in the absence of detergent, and the incorporation of the enzyme into reconstituted phospholipid membranes.     

Immobilization–stabilization of a new recombinant glutamate dehydrogenase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thermus thermophilus</Emphasis>

The genome of Thermus thermophilus contains two genes encoding putative glutamate dehydrogenases. One of these genes (TTC1211) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The purified enzyme was a trimer that catalyzed the oxidation of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate and ammonia with either NAD+ or NADP+ as cofactors. The enzyme was also able to catalyze the inverse reductive reaction. The thermostability of the enzyme at neutral pH was very high even at 70 degrees C, but at acidic pH values, the dissociation of enzyme subunits produced the rapid enzyme inactivation even at 25 degrees C. The immobilization of the enzyme on glyoxyl agarose permitted to greatly increase the enzyme stability under all conditions studied. It was found that the multimeric structure of the enzyme was stabilized by the immobilization (enzyme subunits could be not desorbed from the support by boiling it in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate). This makes the enzyme very stable at pH 4 (e.g., the enzyme activity did not decrease after 12 h at 45 degrees C) and even improved the enzyme stability at neutral pH values. This immobilized enzyme can be of great interest as a biosensor or as a biocatalyst to regenerate both reduced and oxidized cofactors.     

Enzymatic modification of vegetable protein: Immobilization of Penicillium duponti enzyme on reconstituted collagen and the use of the immobilized-enzyme complex for solubilizing vegetable protein in a recycle reactor

Penicillium duponti enzyme was immobilized on reconstituted collagen by macromolecular complication, impregnation, and covalent crosslinking techniques. The immobilization of the enzyme on collagen has a twofold purpose: (1) providing a protein microenvironment for the proteolytic enzyme; and (2) extending the useful life the enzyme once immobilized on the collagen matrix. Two types of collagen were used, one produced by the United States Department of Agriculture and the other produced by FMC. The USDA collagen contained unhydrolyzed telepeptide linkages and required pretreatment to reduce collagenaselike activity of the enzyme. Activity analysis of the immobilized enzyme complex showed that membranes with enzyme loading less than 10 mg enzyme/g of wet membrane in the reactor were dimensionally stable. The degree of crosslinking was an important parameter. Membranes with structural opening up to three times the initial dry thickness were found to be the maximum limit for controlled release of enzyme from the collagen membrane during enzymatic reaction. Higher activities and better stability of the enzyme in collagen membrane were found for covalent crosslinking of the enzyme to treated collagen films. The hydrolysis of soybean vegetable protein with the immobilized enzyme in a recycle reactor at enzyme loading of mg/g of wet membrane at 40°C, pH 3.4, produced 56.5% of soluble protein in 10h. The production is equivalent to 1.84 h total contact time between the substrate and the immobilized enzyme. The average productivity based on a stable enzyme activity and 20g of dry membrane was 329 mg of protein/g/mg of active enzyme immobilized. The productivity of the free enzyme in a batch reactor was 62.5 mg protein/h/mg enzyme.
