Human epidermal transglutaminase. Preparation and properties.   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
A transglutaminase from human hair follicle-free epidermis was purified to homogeneity using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The enzyme had an apparent Mr = 51,000 +/- 2,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, 100,000 +/- 5,000 by discontinuous gel electrophoresis, and 50,000 +/- 2,000 by gel filtration in Bio-Gel A-0.5m agarose. The enzyme cross-linked Factor XIII-free fibrinogen forming gamma dimers and alpha polymers. Either calcium or strontium was necessary for enzyme activity. In the presence of calcium, enzyme activity was increased by heating at 56 degrees or by treating with dimethylsulfoxide. Activation required calcium and occurred in the presence of serine protease inhibitors. The activated and native enzyme had apparently identical mobilities in acrylamide disc electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. The Km values for two substrates in the reaction, casein and putrescine, were very similar for the native and the activated enzyme. The activated enzyme had a larger elution volume on Bio-Gel A-0.5m in the presence of calcium than did the native enzyme. The detailed mechanism of activation remains to be determined.  相似文献

A procedure for the purification of a stable acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS) from aerobic cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is presented. The steps include differential centrifugation, solubilization of the bound enzyme from the crude mitochondrial fraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation, crystallization to constant specific activity from ammonium sulfate solutions followed by Bio-Gel A-1.5 m column chromatography. The resulting enzyme preparation is homogeneous as judged by chromatography on Bio-Gel columns, QAE-Sephadex A-50 anion exchange columns, analytical ultracentrifugal studies, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Sedimentation velocity runs revealed a single symmetric peak with an s20,w value of 10.6. The molecular weight of the native enzyme, as determined by gel filtration and analytical ultracentrifugation, is 250,000 ± 500. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the molecular weight of the single polypeptide chain is 83,000 ± 500. The purified enzyme is inhibited by palmityl-coenzyme A with a Hill interaction coefficient, n, of 2.88. These studies indicate that the ACS of aerobic S. cerevisiae is composed of three subunits of identical or nearly identical size.  相似文献

Characterization of lysosomal acid lipase purified from rabbit liver   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Lysosomal acid lipase from rabbit liver was solubilized with digitonin and purified 25,000-fold by Bio-Gel A-1.5 m, DEAE Bio-Gel A and phenyl Sepharose column chromatographies, preparative slab gel electrophoresis and finally Affi-Gel Blue affinity column chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis both in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular weight of the acid lipase was estimated to be 42,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 40,000 by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5 m. The enzyme was a hydrophobic glycoprotein with an isoelectric point of 5.15-5.90. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed tri-, di-, and monoolein and cholesterol oleate, with apparent Vmax values of 5.41, 56.1, 21.7, and 3.25 mumol/min/mg protein, and Km values of 50, 70, 200, and 40 microM, respectively. It hydrolyzed 4-methylumbelliferyl esters with fatty acids of different lengths in the order, medium length chains greater than long chains much greater than short chains. It did not hydrolyze dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. Its activity was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid and p-bromophenacyl bromide and millimolar concentrations of Cu2+ and diethylpyrocarbonate. The activities of the enzyme towards the five substrates listed above showed almost identical thermal stabilities, mobilities on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and inhibition by several inhibitors. These findings support the idea that one enzyme is involved in the hydrolysis of both acylglycerols and cholesterol esters in lysosomes.  相似文献

The preceding paper described the identification and some properties of peptidylarginine deiminase, which catalyzes the deimination of arginyl residues in protein, from rabbit skeletal muscle, kidney, brain, and lung. In the present work we purified peptidylarginine deiminase from rabbit skeletal muscle with a 16% yield by 7 steps. The purification involved ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5 m, and affinity chromatography on soybean trypsin inhibitor-Sepharose 4B and aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B. The purified enzyme was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with and without sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 83,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 130,000-140,000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The isoelectric point was 5.3 and the amino acid composition was also determined. The enzyme preferably catalyzed the formation of citrulline derivatives from arginine derivatives in which both the amino and carboxyl groups were substituted and showed the highest activity towards Bz-L-Arg-O-Et among the arginine derivatives tested. The Km value for Bz-L-Arg-O-Et was found to be 0.50 X 10(-3) M. The enzyme also showed marked activities towards native protein substrates, such as protamine sulfate, soybean trypsin inhibitor, histone and bovine serum albumin.  相似文献

A novel phosphodiesterase from cultured tobacco cells.   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
A novel phosphodiesterase was purified from cultured tobacco cells to a state which appeared homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme hydrolyzed various phosphodiester and pyrophosphate bonds, including p-nitrophenyl thymidine 5'-phosphate, p-nitrophenyl thymidine 3'-phosphate, cyclic nucleotides, ATP, NAD+, inorganic pyrophosphate, dinucleotides, and poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose), which is a polymer synthesized from NAD+. However, it did not hydrolyze highly polymerized polynucleotides. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated as 270 000 to 280 000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and Bio-Gel A-5m. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the enzyme was composed of subunits with molecular weights calculated to be 75 000. The enzyme did not require divalent cations for activity being fully active in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The pH optimum for the enzyme was approximately 6 with p-ni-trophenyl thymidine 5'-phosphate or adenosine cyclic 3',5'monophosphate, and 5.3 with NAD+. Double reciprocal plots of the initial velocity against the concentration of p-nitrophenyl thymidine 5'-phosphate gave two apparent Km values of 0.17 and 1.3 mM, suggesting the presence of at least two active sites.  相似文献

A galactokinase and the other enzymes of a galactose catabolic pathway were found in Mycobacterium sp. 279 galactose mutant. The galactokinase was partially purified in a procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-100 filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The enzyme was 170-fold purified with 25% of recovery. It was most active at pH 7.8-8.0 in the presence of Mg2+, CO2+, Mn2+ or Fe2+ ions. The molecular weight of the enzyme as determined by Sephadex G-100 filtration amounted to 41,700. The apparent Michaelis constants for galactose and ATP in spectrophotometric test were 1.0 mM and 0.29 mM, respectively. Mercuric compounds at concentration of 0.4 mM completely blocked the enzyme. The galactokinase was quite stable during storage at moderatory temperatures and neutral pH but underwent rapid inactivation on heating above 50 degrees C.  相似文献

Highly purified exo-polygalacturonase was obtained from suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki) by dialysis at pH 5.2, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and on Sephadex G-150, and preparative polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme did not attack the isolated carrot cell walls directly, but it had some effect on pectic polysaccharides extracted from the walls. The extracted polysaccharides were fractionated by DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography yielding four carbohydrate fractions. The major fraction (P-3) was then reacted with the exo-polygalacturonase. The enzyme treatment resulted in hydrolysis of approximately 18% of the glycosyl linkages of fraction P-3 with the release of galacturonic acids. The molecular size estimated by Bio-Gel A-5m gel filtration was not markedly affected by the enzyme action, but the percentage of galacturonosyl residues was clearly reduced. The specific activity of exo-polygalacturonase changed during the growth cycle, in relation to the cell growth.  相似文献

An alkaline aminopeptidase was isolated from the culture medium of Penicillium roqueforti. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, filtration on Bio-Gel P-100, chromatography on D.E.A.E.-cellulose and hydroxylapatite, filtration on Bio-Gel P-150 and electrofusing. The purified preparation was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.5. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 35,000 daltons. The isoelectric point is 4.5. The optimum pH for L-leucine-p-nitroanilide hydrolysis is 8.0. At 35 degrees C the enzyme is stable between pH 6.0 and 7.0. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and a sulfhydryl reagent (p-hydroxymercuribenzoate) inhibit the activity, but the enzyme is insensitive to diisopropylfluorophosphate. Hydrolysis of synthetic peptides shows that the enzyme releases apolar amino acids. Dipeptides are poorly hydrolyzed and Gly in penultimate or N-terminal position causes poor activity. The enzyme is able to cleave the N-terminal Arg-Pro bond of bradykinin.  相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase purified to apparent homogeneity from the soluble fraction of bovine adrenal medulla had an apparent Mr of about 280,000 by Bio-Gel A-1.5m chromatography, and gave a single band with a Mr of 60,000 by sodium dodesyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is considered to be composed of four identical subunits. Isoelectric point of purified enzyme was pH 6.0. The amino acid composition of the enzyme was characterized by fairly high contents of glutamic acid and alanine residues. The N-terminal amino acid was determined to be glutamic acid.  相似文献

Crystalline galactokinase was obtained in good yield from Bifidobacterium bifidum grown on galactose medium. This preparation moved as a single protein band in analytical disc electrophoresis and sedimented as a single symmetrical peak under ultracentrifugation. The enzyme exhibited similar physicochemical properties to galactokinase purified from glucose-grown cells of B. bifidum. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 47,000. Only galactose and ATP were effective as substrate. Km values, optimal pH, cation requirement, inhibition by SH-reagent, heat stability and product inhibition were also investigated.  相似文献

We have devised a simple method for achieving 890-fold purification of ceramide glycanase with 17% recovery from a North American leech, Macrobdella decora. The method includes water extraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and chromatography on octyl-Sepharose, Matrex gel blue A, and Bio-Gel A-0.5m columns. The final preparation showed one major protein band at 54 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. By using Bio-Gel A-0.5m filtration, the native enzyme was found to have a molecular mass of 330 kDa. With GM1 as substrate, the optimum pH of this enzyme was determined to be 5.0; the enzyme was stable between pH 4.5 and 8.5. Zn2+ at 5 mM and Cu2+, Ag+, and Hg2+ at 1 mM strongly inhibited the hydrolysis of GM1 by ceramide glycanase. The ceramide glycanase released the intact glycan chain from various glycosphingolipids in which the glycan chain is linked to the ceramide through a beta-glucosyl linkage. This enzyme also cleaved lyso-glycosphingolipids such as lyso-GM1 and lyso-LacCer and synthetic alkyl beta-lactosides. Among seven alkyl beta-lactosides tested, the enzyme only hydrolyzed the ones with an alkyl chain length of four or more carbons. The enzyme also hydrolyzed 2-(octadecylthio)ethyl O-beta-lactoside and 2-(2-carbomethoxyethylthio)ethyl O-beta-lactoside. p-Nitrophenyl, benzyl, and phytyl beta-lactosides, on the other hand, were not hydrolyzed. These results suggest that the enzyme can recognize the hydrophobic portion of glycolipid substrates. The fact that 2-(2-carbomethoxyethylthio)ethyl O-beta-N-acetyllactosaminide and DiGalCer were refractory to the enzyme indicated that in the substrate the first sugar attached to the hydrophobic chain cannot be N-acetylglucosamine and galactose. Furthermore, dodecyl maltoside, Gal alpha 1----6Glc beta Cer, and the LacCer in which the --CH2OH of the galactose was converted into --CHO were also resistant to the enzyme, and Man beta 1----4 Glc beta Cer was hydrolyzed at a much slower rate than LacCer. These results indicate that the nature and the linkage of the sugar attached to the glucose have a profound effect on the action of this enzyme. The hydrolysis of glycosphingolipids by ceramide glycanase is stimulated by bile salts. Among various bile salts tested, sodium cholate at a concentration of 1 microgram/microliter was found to be most effective in stimulating the hydrolysis of various glycosphingolipids with the exception of LacCer. For LacCer, sodium taurodeoxycholate at a concentration of 2-3 micrograms/microliters was most effective. Tween 20, Nonidet P-40, and Triton X-100 did not stimulate the hydrolysis of GM1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Nitrate reductase of Mitsuokella multiacidus (formerly Bacteroides multiacidus) was solublized from the membrane fraction with 1% sodium deoxycholate and purified 40-fold by immunoaffinity chromatography on the antibody-Affi-Gel 10 column. The preparation showed a major band (86% of total protein) with enzyme activity and a minor band on polyacrylamide gel after disc electrophoresis in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave a major band, the relative mobility of which corresponded to a molecular weight of 160,000, and two minor bands. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 160,000 by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-1.5 m in the presence of 0.1% deoxycholate. Molybdenum cofactor was detected in the enzyme by fluorescence spectroscopy and by complementation of nitrate reductase from the nit-1 mutant of Neurospora crassa. The M. multiacidus enzyme catalyzed reduction of nitrate, chlorate, and bromate using methyl viologen as an electron donor. The maximal activity was found at pH 6.2-7.5 for nitrate reduction. Either methyl or benzyl viologen served well as the electron donor, but FAD, FMN, and horse heart cytochrome c were not effective. Ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum supplied electron to the nitrate reductase. The purified enzyme had Km values of 0.13 mM, 0.12 mM, and 0.22 mM for nitrate, methyl viologen, and ferredoxin, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by cyanide (85% at 1 mM), azide (88% at 0.1 mM), and thiocyanate (75% at 10 mM).  相似文献

A unique highly soluble aspermatogenic protein (AP1) was isolated from guinea pig testes and was shown by immunofluorescence to occupy the outer surface of the sperm acrosome. This protein is a potent inducer of allergic orchitis and aspermatogenesis; as little as 0.2 mug induced orchitis in 60 percent of guinea pig tested. The AP1 protein, relatively small and neutral, is stable under acid conditions, but at pH 8.6 shows a variety of forms due either to aggregation or polymorphism. The purified AP1 protein appeared homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 2.7 and in sodium dodecyl sulfate and by immunoelectrophoresis using rabbit antisera to either the purified protein or the testes extract. It also showed a single band on immunodiffusion over a wide concentration range. The purification procedure consisted of delipidation with chloroform/methanol (2/1); acid extraction at pH 3.0; precipitation with 85 percent saturated ammonium sulfate; trichloroacetic acid extraction and gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-1.5; gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-10; chromatography on CM52 cellulose; and preparative gel electrophoresis at pH 2.7. Approximately 20 mg of purified AP1 protein were obtained from 5000 g of wet guinea pig testes. The AP1 protein induced an autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of mononuclear cells around and within the seminiferous tubules (orchitis), followed by extensive damage and destruction of the germinal cells (aspermatogenesis). The course of the disease induced by this protein (0.5 to 1 mug) was essentially identical with that seen with whole testicular tissue or other purified fractions.  相似文献

Chromatium vinosum contains a polypeptide that is functionally and structurally similar to the Escherichia coli chaperonin 10. The protein has been purified to homogeneity by sucrose density gradient centrifugation followed by gel filtration using a Bio-Gel A-1.5 m column. The molecular mass of chaperonin 10, as determined by gel filtration or nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is 95 kDa. The oligomer is composed of seven or eight subunits. Comparisons of the overall amino acid composition and N-terminal sequences among chaperonin 10 species from C. vinosum and E. coli reflect a high degree of similarity. A physical association between chaperonins 60 and 10 from C. vinosum, in vitro, is supported by three experimental approaches. First, the proteins form a stable binary complex in sucrose density gradients, gel filtration chromatography, and nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, solely in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. Second, chaperonin 10 from C. vinosum binds, selectively, to a chaperonin 60-coupled Affi-Gel 10 matrix column. Third, a slight molar excess of chaperonin 10 is able to abolish, almost completely, the ATPase in chaperonin 60. The rate for ATPase activity of chaperonin 60 from C. vinosum is enhanced when supplemented with monovalent cations.  相似文献

A Sen 《Journal of virology》1981,39(2):612-624
The low-molecular-weight (LMW) protein kinase associated with high-titer murine sarcoma virions have been extensively purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation. Bio-Gel P-100 gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose chromatography. The purified enzyme migrates as a 16K polypeptide in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The enzyme catalyzes phosphotransfer with ATP as a phosphate donor to various exogenously added proteins as acceptors; it requires Mg2+ and is independent of cyclic AMP. The enzyme preparation catalyzes a low level of phosphorylation in the absence of any exogenously added substrate and forms phosphotyrosine. However, in the presence of acceptor protein molecules including total soluble cytoplasmic proteins of murine sarcoma virus-transformed mouse cells, the phosphorylated end products contain predominantly phosphoserine. The virion-associated enzyme also shows a preference for phosphorylating certain polypeptides in the soluble cytoplasmic extracts of murine sarcoma virus-transformed cells.  相似文献

alpha-Amylase inhibitor from fungus Cladosporium herbarum F-828   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A strain of fungus Cladosporium herbarum extracellularly produced an inhibitor specific for mammalian alpha-amylase. The inhibitor was purified 81-fold by freeze-thawing, heat treatment, and column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, DEAE-Sephacel, and Bio-Gel P-100. An apparent molecular weight of approximately 18,000 was estimated for the inhibitor using Bio-Gel P-100 filtration. The purified inhibitor preparation was a glycoprotein containing about 10% carbohydrate. The amino acid analysis of the inhibitor showed abundances of Gly, Asp, Glu, Ser, Ala, and Thr residues. The inhibitor was stable between pH 5 and 12 at 4 degrees C, and below 80 degrees C at pH 7.0. A binary complex formation out of equimolar amounts of the inhibitor and alpha-amylase, was demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and Bio-Gel P-100 chromatography. Kinetic studies exhibited that the inhibitor noncompetitively inhibited the enzyme reaction with a Ki value of 2.3 approximately 4.8 x 10(-10) M, by combining with the enzyme molecule at a different site from the substrate binding site.  相似文献

Lysophospholipase [EC 3.1.1.5] was solubilized from the cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus with Triton X-100 and purified by the following procedure; precipitation with ammonium sulfate, acid treatment and ion exchange column chromatography using DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and CM-cellulose, successively. The purified preparation was shown to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel disk electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was found to be around pH 3.64 by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis, and its molecular weight was estimated to be 89,000 at pH 7.6 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The minimal molecular weight (15,000) was found at pH 3 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and also by SDS-polyacrylamide disk electrophoresis. The enzyme hydrolyzed 1-acyl-GPC, 1-acyl-GPE, 2-acyl-GPE, and lysocardiolipin but did not attack monoacylglycerol, triacylglycerol, or phosphatidylcholine at all. The enzyme activity required no bivalent cations, and was unaffected by reagents specific to SH-groups, although it was inhibited by Hg2+. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by preincubation with diisopropylfluorophosphate. The enzyme lost its activity on preincubation with either 1% SDS or 8 M urea at 37 degrees C for 30 min, but the activity lost with urea was recovered by dialysis against distilled water.  相似文献

Candida peltata (NRRL Y-6888) produced beta-glucosidase when grown in liquid culture on various substrates (glucose, xylose, L-arabinose, cellobiose, sucrose, and maltose). An extracellular beta-glucosidase was purified 1,800-fold to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of the yeast grown on glucose by salting out with ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography with DEAE Bio-Gel A agarose, Bio-Gel A-0.5m gel filtration, and cellobiose-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The enzyme was a monomeric protein with an apparent molecular weight of 43,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. It was optimally active at pH 5.0 and 50 degrees C and had a specific activity of 108 mumol.min-1.mg of protein-1 against p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside (pNP beta G). The purified beta-glucosidase readily hydrolyzed pNP beta G, cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentaose, and cellohexaose, with Km values of 2.3, 66, 39, 35, 21, and 18 mM, respectively. The enzyme was highly tolerant to glucose inhibition, with a Ki of 1.4 M (252 mg/ml). Substrate inhibition was not observed with 40 mM pNP beta G or 15% cellobiose. The enzyme did not require divalent cations for activity, and its activity was not affected by p-chloromercuribenzoate (0.2 mM), EDTA (10 mM), or dithiothreitol (10 mM). Ethanol at an optimal concentration (0.75%, vol/vol) stimulated the initial enzyme activity by only 11%. Cellobiose (10%, wt/vol) was almost completely hydrolyzed to glucose by the purified beta-glucosidase (1.5 U/ml) in both the absence and presence of glucose (6%). Glucose production was enhanced by 8.3% when microcrystalline cellulose (2%, wt/vol) was treated for 24 h with a commercial cellulase preparation (cellulase, 5 U/ml; beta-glucosidase, 0.45 U/ml) that was supplemented with purified beta-glucosidase (0.4 U/ml).  相似文献

Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.-) was solubilized from a particulate membrane fraction of rat intestinal mucosa with Triton X-100. The solubilized enzyme was purified to homogeneity following ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and hydroxyapatite, gel filtration and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The final enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 55 units/mg protein representing a 1373 fold purification over the starting material. Purity was judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. The molecular weight of the native undenatured enzyme was estimated to be 230000 by gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Electrophoresis under denaturing conditions (sodium dodecyl sulfate) indicated that the protein consists of two identical 98 kDa subunits. Dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV is a glycoprotein containing approx. 8% carbohydrate by weight. A detailed analysis of the individual sugar components demonstrated that fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose, sialic acid and hexosamine sugars were present. The nature of the constituent asparagine linked oligosaccharide side chains was further examined following cleavage from the peptide backbone by hydrazinolysis. Following high voltage paper electrophoresis approx. 80% of the isolated oligosaccharide was found with the neutral fraction while the remaining 20% consisted of a single acidic component. Gel filtration of the neutral oligosaccharide fraction indicated that it contains approx. 19 sugar residues.  相似文献
