The present work describes a procedure for the co-purification of cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase (CSAD) and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) from calf brain. A crude enzyme preparation was first made from brain homogenate by acid precipitation and ammonium sulphate fractionation. Subsequent fractionation of the decarboxylase preparation by cation exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose CL-6B revealed the existence of a specific CSAD enzyme, which has no GAD activity. The GAD activity peak was found to possess CSAD activity. Further fractionation by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 separated the specific CSAD activity into two enzyme forms, one of them having a molecular weight of 150,000 and the other of 71,000. GAD activity was eluted from the gel filtration column in a single peak (mol wt 330,000) and showed CSAD activity. The purification of the specific CSAD enzyme was 920-fold and that of GAD activity 850-fold as compared with the starting material, whole calf brain. SDS gel electrophoresis indicated that the purified CSAD and GAD enzymes consisted of two or more subunits. The crude decarboxylase preparation was analysed by isoelectric focusing in ultra-thin polyacrylamide gel in the pH range 3.5-10.0. The most active fraction of CSAD indicated an isoelectric point of 6.5 and that of GAD 6.8. The pH optimum for CSAD activity in the crude preparation was 7.2 and that for GAD activity 7.9. 相似文献

DNA polymerase-alpha was purified from the cytosol of blast cells of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia by ammonium sulfate fractionation and successive column chromatographies. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 2943 units/mg protein with activated calf thymus DNA as a template. The enzyme sediments under high-salt conditions as a homogeneous band at 7.2 S and free from other DNA polymerases (beta, gamma) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity. The native molecular weight of the enzyme from gel filtration and glycerol gradient centrifugation was found to be 175 000. The values of Stokes radius (53 A), diffusion coefficient (4.05 x 10(-7) cm2/s) and frictional ratio (1.42) determined by gel filtration suggest that the native enzyme is compact and globular. Antibodies to DNA polymerase-alpha were raised in rabbits. These antibodies, partially purified by 50% ammonium sulfate saturation and Sephadex G-200 chromatography, gave one precipitin band on immunodiffusion and inactivate DNA polymerase-alpha-. This antibody preparation also inhibited, in vitro, the activity of DNA polymerase-alpha from calf thymus, phytohemagglutinin-stimulated normal human lymphocytes, as well as that from other leukemic cells. Thus, DNA polymerase-alpha from calf thymus and human leukemic cells resemble each other in antibody specificity. 相似文献

The major aminopeptidase from human quadriceps muscle was purified (as judged by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis) by anion-exchange chromatography (two steps) and gel filtration (two steps). The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 7.3, in the presence of 1 mM-2-mercaptoethanol and 0.5 mM-Ca2+ ions; activation of the enzyme occurred in the presence of several other bivalent cations. Inhibition of activity was obtained in the presence of metal-ion-chelating agents and inhibitors of aminopeptidases and thiol proteinases. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 102 000 (by gel filtration). The enzyme hydrolysed several amino acyl-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin derivatives; highest activity was obtained with alanyl-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin. The enzyme also degraded a series of dipeptides, alanine oligopeptides and some naturally occurring peptides. Of particular interest was the high activity of the enzyme towards the enkephalins. 相似文献

A fibrinolytic enzyme obtained from B. subtilis was purified, using DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The preparation was homogeneous as tested by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and disc electrophoresis. The molecular weight of this enzyme was 29.400 estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The optimum pH for enzyme activity was 7.2 Copper ions significantly increased enzyme activity, while Zn++ and Mn++ caused marked inhibition. 相似文献

Thioltransferase was purified 650-fold from rabbit liver by procedures including acid treatment, heat treatment, gel filtration on Sephadex G-50, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, isoelectric focusing (pH 3.5-10) and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The final enzyme preparation was almost homogeneous in polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis. Only one active peak with an apparent molecular weight (Mr) of 13,000 was detected by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and only a single protein band with a molecular weight of 12,400 was detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Isoelectric focusing revealed only one enzyme species, having an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.3. The enzyme has an optimum pH about 3.0 with S-sulfocysteine and GSH as substrates. The purified enzyme utilized some disulfides including S-sulfocysteine, alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, bovine serum albumin, and insulin as substrates in the presence of GSH. The enzyme does not act as a protein : disulfide isomerase (the activity of which can be measured in terms of reactivation of randomly reoxidized soybean Kunitz trypsin inhibitor). The enzyme activity was inhibited by chloramphenicol, but not by bacitracin. The inhibition by chloramphenicol was non-competitive (apparent K1 of 0.5 mM). Thioltransferase activity was found in the cytosol of various rabbit tissues. 相似文献

l-Tryptophan-activating enzyme [l-tryptophan-tRNA ligase (AMP), EC 6.1.1.2] of water-buffalo brain was purified to near homogeneity by heat and pH treatments, ammonium sulphate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite and Amberlite CG-50, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme catalyses tryptophanyl-tRNA formation with yeast tRNA, but not with Escherichia coli tRNA. The enzyme exhibits multiple peaks of activity in Sephadex gel filtration with molecular weights corresponding to 155000, 105000 and 50000. However, only one peak of activity with molecular weight of 155000 can be detected when the enzyme is subjected to gel filtration at high concentration. Disc gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate reveals a single band with molecular weight of 55000. The activity of the enzyme is concentration dependent. Different K(m) and V(max.) values are obtained at different enzyme concentrations. These data suggest that this enzyme may exist in different quaternary structures, each with its own kinetic constants. The enzyme activity is inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate, and is not protected by the presence of the substrates, l-tryptophan, Mg(2+), ATP, in any combination. 相似文献

The benzyl 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase was purified from the cells of baker’s yeast by streptomycin treatment, Sephadex G-50 gel filtration, SP-Sephadex C-50 chromatography, and Toyopearl HW-60F gel filtration. The purified enzyme preparation was homogeneous and the molecular weight was about 31,000 to 32,000. The enzyme was NADPH-dependent and its maximum activity was at pH 7.0 and 45°C. It was stable between pH 6 and 9. The Km values at pH 7.0 were 0.42 mM for benzyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutyrate (1) and 4.2 mM for α-methyl β-hydroxy ester [syn-(2) and anti-(3)]. This enzyme reduced only benzyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutyrate (1) but had no effect on other synthetic substrates.The reduced products [syn-(2) and anti(3)] produced by the purified enzyme were identified by 400 MHz NMR. 相似文献

The NADH:(acceptor) oxidoreductase from membranes of bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin granules has been purified by column chromatography. After solubilization of the membranes with emulphogen, a nonionic detergent, the enzyme was purified by dye-ligand chromatography and gel filtration. The oxidoreductase appeared essentially homogeneous on two gel electrophoretic systems. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the enzyme revealed a dimeric structure with a combined molecular weight of about 55,000. The enzyme eluted as a detergent-lipid-protein aggregate with a Stoke's radius of 43 Å on gel filtration columns in the presence of emulphogen. The amino acid composition of the oxidoreductase was found to be distinct from that of similar enzymes from other organelles. Topographical experiments indicated that the enzyme is a transmembrane protein. 相似文献

Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (EC 1.4.7.1) from rice leaves (Oryza sativa L. cv Delta) was purified 206-fold with a final specific activity of 35.9 mumoles glutamate formed per min per milligram protein by a procedure including ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration, and ferredoxin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme yielded a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 224,000 daltons by Sepharose 6B gel filtration. Electrophoresis of the dissociated enzyme in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel gave a single protein band which corresponds to the subunit molecular weight of 115,000 daltons. Thus, it is concluded that the glutamate synthase is composed of two polypeptidic chains exhibiting the same molecular weight. Spectrophotometric analysis indicated that the enzyme is free of iron-sulfide and flavin. The pH optimum was 7.3. The enzyme had a negative cooperativity (Hill number of 0.70) for glutamine, and its K(m) value increased from 270 to 570 mum at a glutamine concentration higher than 800 mum. K(m) values for alpha-ketoglutarate and ferredoxin were 330 and 5.5 mum, respectively. Asparagine and oxaloacetate could not be substituted for glutamine and alpha-ketoglutarate, respectively. Enzyme activity was not detected with pyridine nucleotides as electron donors. Azaserine and several divalent cations were potent inhibitors. The purified enzyme was stabilized by dithiothreitol. 相似文献

A single proteolytic enzyme (EC 3.4.4.-) was isolated from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas fragi with 20% yielded and 60-fold purification by means of stepwise DEAE-Sephadex batch adsorption, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The enzyme was Zn-2+ activated and Ca-2+ stabilized, had optimum activity at pH 6.5--8.0 and 40 degrees C. The molecular weight range was 40 000--50 000 as determined by dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, gel filtration and Zn assay. This proteinase has properties similar to other extracellular bacterial neutral proteinases. 相似文献

Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase (hyaluronidase) derived from a pathogenic strain of staphylococcus was purified by means of salt fractionation with ammonium sulfate and gel filtration through Sephadex G-100. Most of the enzyme activity from concentrated culture supernatant fluids of staphylococci was obtained in a fraction precipitated by 90 to 100% saturation with ammonium sulfate. A small amount of enzyme was also precipitated by 80 to 90% saturation with the salt. The hyaluronidase-rich fractions did not contain other staphylococcal enzymes, such as coagulase, protease, lipase, and staphylokinase. These enzymes were present in the original concentrates. Molecular sieving chromatography of the partially purified enzyme by filtration through Sephadex G-100 resulted in a further increase in specific enzyme activity. However, more than one active peak was obtained after gel filtration, thus suggesting that there may be more than one molecular form of the enzyme. Immunodiffusion in agar gel of the chromatographically purified enzyme fraction, with immune serum from rabbits injected with concentrated staphylococcal culture supernatant fluids, indicated that there was one major antigen. A similar antigen, giving reactions of identity with the purified material, was present in the original culture supernatant fluid. 相似文献

Oxytocinase (cystyl-aminopeptidase) [EC 3.4.11.3] was isolated from monkey placenta in a purified form by a six-step prodedure comprising extraction from monkey placenta homogenate, ammonium sulfate fractionation, repeated chromatography on hydroxylapatite, chromatography on a column of DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on a column of Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme showed a single band on polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis. Oxytocin was inactivated by this enzyme preparation. The enzyme hydrolyzed several aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides. A terminal amino group was required for enzyme activity. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 87,000 by gel filtration and 83,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Other properties of the enzyme, the effects of metal ions and various chemical reagents on the enzyme activity, the pH optimum, and Km values for a number of aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides were also examined. 相似文献

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DAP IV) was purified from Streptococcus salivarius HHT by anion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography after lysis of cell walls with N-acetylmuramidase. DAP IV was purified 114-fold with a yield of 16.6% from total activity of the crude extract. The purified enzyme was shown to be homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 109,000 by gel filtration and 47,000 by sodium dodecylsulphate SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the native enzyme is a dimeric form. The optimum pH for the reaction was 8.7 in Gly-NaOH buffer, and the isoelectric point of the enzyme was pH 4.2. The enzyme hydrolysed specifically N-terminal X-Pro from X-Pro-p-nitroanilides. The enzyme activity was hardly affected by various cations, sulphydryl-blocking reagents and metal chelators. The enzyme activity was markedly inhibited by 1 mM diisopropylfluoride, and the desialysed enzyme was attacked by proteinases. 相似文献

Angiotensin converting enzyme [EC 3.4.15.1] was shown to exist in two distinct forms in bovine seminal plasma. The higher molecular weight form of the enzyme (angiotensin convering enzyme I) was purified to homogeneity by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, and DEAE-Sepharose, blue Sepharose, and concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography. Final recovery of the enzyme was 9.0. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 8 x 10(5) by the gel filtration method. A value of 4.6 x 10(5) was obtained for the reduced and denatured enzyme by dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Stokes' radius, diffusion coefficient, and intrinsic viscosity of the purified enzyme were determined to be 95 A, 2.3 x 10(-7) cm2/s, and 6.76 ml/g. The enzyme had a specific activity of 105.12 mumol/min/mg protein for hippurylhistidylleucine. The Km value for hippurylhistidylleucine was found to be 20 mM. Studies with EDTA suggest that metal ions which are tightly bound are required for its activity. The enzyme was inhibited by some heavy metal ions but did not required sulfhydryl groups for its activity. Trypsin treatment of the urea-denatured enzyme produced a catalytically active fragment with an Mr of 30,000. Chemical hydrolysis of the native enzyme did not produce any active fragment. 相似文献

Purification and some properties of chlorogenic acid oxidase from apple (Malus pumila). 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chlorogenic acid oxidase was extensively purified to homogeneity from apple flesh (Malus pumila cv. Fuji). The enzyme was purified 470-fold, with a total yield close to 70% from the plastid fraction by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weight was determined to be 65,000 by both SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was around 4.0, and the enzyme was stable in the range of pH 6-8. The pI obtained by isoelectrofocusing was 5.4, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was N-Asp-Pro-Leu-Ala-Pro-Pro-. The reaction rate of the purified enzyme was much larger for chlorogenic acid than for other o-diphenols such as (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin and 4-methylcatechol, and the enzyme lacked both cresolase activity and p-diphenol oxidase activity. The Km value for the enzyme was found to be 122 microM toward chlorogenic acid. The purified enzyme had far less thermal stability than the enzyme of the plastid fraction. Diethyl-dithiocarbamate, sodium azide, o-phenanthroline and sodium fluoride markedly inhibited the enzyme activity. 相似文献

A specific 1-phosphatase acting on myo-inositol (1,4)-biphosphate with a high affinity (Km = 0.9 microM) has been purified 49-fold from soluble proteins of rat liver by anion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration. This enzyme has a molecular weight of 58,000 as estimated by gel filtration, a pH optimum of 7.5, and requires Mg++ for activity. The only product formed from myo-inositol (1,4)-bisphosphate is the 4-monophosphate. Of 7 other inositol phosphates examined only myo-inositol (1,3,4)-triphosphate was a substrate. 相似文献

beta-Xylosidase (1,4-beta-D-xylan xylohydrolase EC 3.2.1.37) and xylose isomerase (D-xylose ketol-isomerase EC 5.3.1.5) produced by Streptomyces sp. strain EC 10, were cell-bound enzymes induced by xylan, straw, and xylose. Enzyme production was subjected to a form of carbon catabolite repression by glycerol. beta-Xylosidase and xylose isomerase copurified strictly, and the preparation was found homogeneous by gel electrophoresis after successive chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and gel filtration on Biogel A. Streptomyces sp. produced apparently a bifunctional beta-xylosidase-xylose isomerase enzyme. The molecular weight of the enzyme was measured to be 163,000 by gel filtration and 42,000 by SDS-PAGE, indicating that the enzyme behaved as a tetramer of identical subunits. The Streptomyces sp. beta-xylosidase was a typical glycosidase acting as an exoenzyme on xylooligosaccharides, and working optimally at pH 7.5 and 45 degrees C. The xylose isomerase optimal temperature was 70 degrees C and maximal activity was observed in a broad range pH (5-8). Enhanced saccharification of arabinoxylan caused by the addition of the enzyme to endoxylanase suggested a cooperative enzyme action. The first 35 amino acids of the N-terminal sequence of the enzyme showed strong analogies with N-terminal sequences of xylose isomerase produced by other microorganisms but not with other published N-terminal sequences of beta-xylosidases. 相似文献

The enzyme carboxypeptidase-IIW of Bacillus megaterium incorporates free diaminopimelate into purified bacterial walls. This enzyme can be solubilized from toluene-treated cells by LiCl extraction and has now been purified 106-fold to one major band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 60,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. Carboxypeptidase-IIW requires divalent cations and thiol group(s) for optimal activity. Product analysis indicates that the enzyme can hydrolyze the terminal D-alanine from the tetrapeptide of the peptidoglycan or replace it with a variety of amino acids with D-asymmetric centers for transpeptidation. Substrate specificity studies reveal that the enzymatic activity depends on the presence of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine of the GlcNAc-MurNAc-tetrapeptide. This specificity of carboxypeptidase-IIW for the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine explains in part the affinity of the enzyme for the cell wall of B. megaterium. The enzyme is compared to the carboxypeptidases-transpeptidases of other organisms with the similarities and differences discussed. 相似文献

An alkaliphilic, thermophilic Bacillus sp. (NCIM 59) produced extracellular xylose isomerase at pH 10 and 50 degrees C by using xylose or wheat bran as the carbon source. The distribution of xylose isomerase as a function of growth in comparison with distributions of extra- and intracellular marker enzymes such as xylanase and beta-galactosidase revealed that xylose isomerase was truly secreted as an extracellular enzyme and was not released because of sporulation or lysis. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by gel filtration, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of xylose isomerase was estimated to be 160,000 by gel filtration and 50,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating the presence of three subunits. The enzyme is most active at pH 8.0 and with incubation at 85 degrees C for 20 min. Divalent metal ions Mg, Co, and Mn were required for maximum activity of the enzyme. The K(m) values for D-xylose and D-glucose at 80 degrees C and pH 7.5 were 6.66 and 142 mM, respectively, while K(cat) values were 2.3 x 10 s and 0.5 x 10 s, respectively. 相似文献

Histidine decarboxylase was purified from mouse mastocytoma P-815 cells to electrophoretic homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, dialyses at pH 7.5 and 6.0, chromatographies on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B and Hydroxylapatite, Phenyl-Superose HPLC, Mono Q HPLC, and Diol-200 gel filtration HPLC. Under the assay conditions used, the pure enzyme exhibited a specific activity of 800 nmol/min/mg, which constituted 12,500-fold purification compared to the crude extract, with a 7% yield. The two-step dialysis turned out to be essential for removing the factor(s) which interfered with the enzyme purification. The optimum pH for the enzyme reaction was 6.6 and the isoelectric point of the enzyme was pH 5.4. The molecular mass of the enzyme was found to be approximately 53 kDa on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 110 kDa on gel filtration, and 115 kDa on polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The Km value for histidine was estimated to be 0.26 mM at pH 6.8. 相似文献
