A beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) from the fungus Aspergillus terreus was purified to homogeneity as indicated by disc acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimal activity was observed at pH 4.8 and 50 degrees C. The beta-glucosidase had K(m) values of 0.78 and 0.40 mM for p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside and cellobiose, respectively. Glucose was a competitive inhibitor, with a K(i) of 3.5 mM when p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside was used as the substrate. The specific activity of the enzyme was found to be 210 IU and 215 U per mg of protein on p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside and cellobiose substrates, respectively. Cations, proteases, and enzyme inhibitors had little or no effect on the enzyme activity. The beta-glucosidase was found to be a glycoprotein containing 65% carbohydrate by weight. It had a Stokes radius of 5.9 nm and an approximate molecular weight of 275,000. The affinity and specific activity that the isolated beta-glucosidase exhibited for cellobiose compared favorably with the values obtained for beta-glucosidases from other organisms being studied for use in industrial cellulose saccharification. 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

A second extracellular beta-glucosidase (betalarge) of Aspergillus fumigatus was purified to homogeneity and shown to be a glycoprotein, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by staining for protein and for carbohydrate. Its molecular weight was approximately 340,000 by gel filtration, while sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave an apparent molecular weight of 170,000, suggesting that the enzyme has two subunits. The glucosidase contained covalently bound sugars consisting of about 2 mol of glucosamine and 16 mol of mannose per mol of protein. The carbohydrate was found to be attached to the peptide via glucosaminyl leads to peptide linkage, possibly to asparagine residues. At pH 4.5 this enzyme readily hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (Km = 0.88 mM) and cleaved two glucose disaccharides: gentiobiose (beta,1 leads to 6; Km = 0.75 mM) and cellobiose (beta,1 leads to 4; Km = 0.84 mM). Although its activity is similar to that of a previously purified beta-glucosidase (betasmall), the two enzymes differ with respect to their pH activity profiles, substrate specificities, and molecular weights. Also double diffusion tests with anti-betasmall antiserum and both purified beta-glucosidases revealed a nonidentical cross-reaction. Microcomplement fixation of native and periodate-oxidized betasmall suggested that the oligosaccharide chain(s) was not a major antigenic site. 相似文献

Protoplasts of Aspergillus oryzae 3.481 and Aspergillus niger 3.316 were prepared using cellulose and snail enzyme with 0.6 M NaCl as osmotic stabilizer. Protoplast fusion has been performed using 35% polyethylene glycol 4.000 with 0.01 mM CaCl2. The fused protoplasts have been regenerated on regeneration medium and fusants were selected for further studies. An intracellular beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) was purified from the protoplast fusant of Aspergillus oryzae 3.481 and Aspergillus niger 3.316 and characterized. The enzyme was purified 138.85-fold by ammonium sulphate precipitation, DE-22 ion exchange and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography with a specific activity of 297.14 U/mg of protein. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was determined to be about 125 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had an optimum pH of 5.4 and temperature of 65 degrees C, respectively. This enzyme showed relatively high stability against pH and temperature and was stable in the pH range of 3.0-6.6. Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and EDTA completely inhibited the enzyme activity at a concentration of 10 mM. The enzyme activity was accelerated by Fe3+. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by glucose, the end product ofglucoside hydrolysis. The K(m) and V(max) values against salicin as substrate were 0.035 mM and 1.7215 micromol min(-1), respectively. 相似文献

An extracellular beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) was purified from culture filtrate of the anaerobic rumen fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 grown on 0.3% (wt vol-1) Avicel by using Q Sepharose anion-exchange chromatography, ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatofocusing ion-exchange chromatography, and Superose 12 gel filtration. The enzyme is monomeric with a M(r) of 85,400, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, has a pI of 3.95, and contains about 8.5% (wt vol-1) carbohydrate. The N terminus appears to be blocked. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellobiose and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside (PNPG). The Km and Vmax values with cellobiose as the substrate at pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C are 0.25 mM and 27.1 mumol.min-1 x mg-1, respectively; with PNPG as the substrate, the corresponding values are of 0.35 mM and 27.7 mumol.min-1 x mg-1. Glucose (Ki = 8.75 mM, with PNPG as the substrate) and gluconolactone (Ki = 1.68 x 10(-2) and 2.57 mM, with PNPG and cellobiose as the substrates, respectively) are competitive inhibitors. Optimal activity with PNPG and cellobiose as the substrates is at pH 6.2 and 50 degrees C. The enzyme has high activity against sophorose (beta-1,2-glucobiose) and laminaribiose (beta-1,3-glucobiose) but has no activity against gentiobiose (beta-1,6-glucobiose). The activity of the beta-glucosidase is stimulated by Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ and inhibited by Ag+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, SDS, and p-chloromercuribenzoate. 相似文献

An extracellular beta-glucosidase was purified from culture filtrates of the wood-decaying fungus Daldinia eschscholzii (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Rehm grown on 1.0% (w/v) carboxymethyl-cellulose using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction and gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme is monomeric with a molecular weight of 64.2 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and has a pI of 8.55. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG) as the substrate, with a K(m) of 1.52 mM, and V(max) of 3.21 U min mg(-1) protein. Glucose competitively inhibited beta-glucosidase with a K(i) value of 0.79 mM. Optimal activity with PNPG as the substrate was at pH 5.0 and 50 degrees C. The enzyme was stable at pH 5.0 at temperatures up to 50 degrees C. The purified beta-glucosidase was active against PNPG, cellobiose, sophorose, laminaribiose and gentiobiose, but did not hydrolyze lactose, sucrose, Avicel or o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside. The activity of beta-glucosidase was stimulated by Ca(2+), Co(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dithiothreitol and EDTA, and strongly inhibited by Hg(2+). The internal amino acid sequences of D. eschscholziibeta-glucosidase have similarity to the sequences of the family 3 beta-glucosyl hydrolase. 相似文献

An extracellular beta-glucosidase was purified 154-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity from the brown-rot basidiomycete Fomitopsis palustris grown on 2.0% microcrystalline cellulose. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel gave a single protein band and the molecular mass of purified enzyme was estimated to be approximately 138 kDa. The amino acid sequences of the proteolytic fragments determined by nano-LC-MS/MS suggested that the protein has high homology with fungal beta-glucosidases that belong to glycosyl hydrolase family 3. The Kms for p-nitorophenyl-beta-D-glucoside (p-NPG) and cellobiose hydrolyses were 0.117 and 4.81 mM, and the Kcat values were 721 and 101.8 per sec, respectively. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by both glucose (Ki= 0.35 mM) and gluconolactone (Ki= 0.008 mM), when p-NPG was used as substrate. The optimal activity of the purified beta-glucosidase was observed at pH 4.5 and 70 degrees. The F. palustris protein exhibited half-lives of 97 h at 55 degrees and 15 h at 65 degrees, indicating some degree of thermostability. The enzyme has high activity against p-NPG and cellobiose but has very little or no activity against p-nitrophenyl-beta-lactoside, p-nitrophenyl-beta-xyloside, p-nitrophenyl-alpha-arabinofuranoside, xylan, and carboxymethyl cellulose. Thus, our results revealed that the beta-glucosidase from F. palustris can be classified as an aryl-beta-glucosidase with cellobiase activity. 相似文献

A major beta-glucosidase I and a minor beta-glucosidase II were purified from culture filtrates of the fungus Trichoderma reesei grown on wheat straw. The enzymes were purified using CM-Sepharose CL-6B cation-exchange and DEAE Bio-Gel A anion-exchange chromatography steps, followed by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. The isolated enzymes were homogeneous in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. beta-Glucosidase I (71 kDa) was isoelectric at pH 8.7 and contained 0.12% carbohydrate; beta-glucosidase II (114 kDa) was isoelectric at pH 4.8 and contained 9.0% carbohydrate. Both enzymes catalyzed the hydrolysis of cellobiose and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside (pNPG). The Km and kcat/Km values for cellobiose were 2.10 mM, 2.45.10(4) s-1 M-1 (beta-glucosidase I) and 11.1 mM, 1.68.10(3) s-1 M-1 (beta-glucosidase II). With pNPG as substrate the Km and kcat/Km values were 182 microM, 7.93.10(5) s-1 M-1 (beta-glucosidase I) and 135 microM, 1.02.10(6) s-1 M-1 (beta-glucosidase II). The temperature optimum was 65-70 degrees C for beta-glucosidase I and 60 degrees C for beta-glucosidase II, the pH optimum was 4.6 and 4.0, respectively. Several inhibitors were tested for their action on both enzymes. beta-Glucosidase I and II were competitively inhibited by desoxynojirimycin, gluconolactone and glucose. 相似文献

Pichia pastoris beta-glucosidase was purified to apparent homogeneity by salting out with ammonium sulfate, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography with Q-Sepharose and CM-Sepharose. The enzyme is a tetramer (275 kD) made up of four identical subunits (70 kD). The pH optimum is 7.3, and it is fairly stable in the pH range 5.5-9.5. The temperature optimum is 40 degrees C. The purified beta-glucosidase is effectively active on p-/o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranosides (p-/o-NPG) and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4-MUG) with Km values of 0.12, 0.22, and 0.096 mM and Vmax values of 10.0, 11.7, and 6.2 micromol/min per mg protein, respectively. It also exhibits different levels of activity against p-nitrophenyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside, cellobiose, gentiobiose, amygdalin, prunasin, salicin, and linamarin. The enzyme is competitively inhibited by gluconolactone, p-/o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-fucopyranosides (p-/o-NPF), and glucose against p-NPG as substrate. o-NPF is the most effective inhibitor of the enzyme activity with Ki value of 0.41 mM. The enzyme is more tolerant to glucose inhibition with Ki value of 7.2 mM for p-NPG. Pichia pastoris has been employed as a host for the functional expression of heterologous beta-glucosidases and the risk of high background beta-glucosidase activity is discussed. 相似文献

An adenosine nucleosidase (ANase) (EC 3.2.2.7) was purified from young leaves of Coffea arabica L. cv. Catimor. A sequence of fractionating steps was used starting with ammonium sulphate salting-out, followed by anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction and gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme was purified 5804-fold and a specific activity of 8333 nkat mg-1 protein was measured. The native enzyme is a homodimer with an apparent molecular weight of 72 kDa estimated by gel filtration and each monomer has a molecular weight of 34.6 kDa, estimated by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 6.0 in citrate-phosphate buffer (50 mM). The calculated Km is 6.3 microM and Vmax 9.8 nKat. 相似文献

Cellulose-acetate gel electrophoresis, a technique commonly used for the separation of human acid hydrolases, was applied to study heterogeneity in acid beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.45). With this technique, three forms of beta-glucosidase were distinguishable in extracts of several tissues. The most anodic beta-glucosidase activity (band 3) represents the broad-specificity beta-glucosidase that is not deficient in Gaucher disease and is not inhibited by conduritol B-epoxide (CBE). The beta-glucosidase activity was deficient in Gaucher disease. A third beta-glucosidase activity with an intermediate mobility (band 2) was also inhibited by CBE and deficient in Gaucher disease. Band 1 and band 2 beta-glucosidase thus represent different forms of glucocerebrosidase. By adding phosphatidylserine and sphingolipid activator protein (SAP-2), monomeric glucocerebrosidase could be completely converted into a form that comigrated with band 2 beta-glucosidase of tissue extracts. The addition of phosphatidylserine only also resulted in a changed mobility of the monomeric enzyme, but the migration in this case differed from that of band 2 beta-glucosidase of tissue extracts. The electrophoretic profile of beta-glucosidase activity of tissue extracts changed upon ethanol/chloroform extraction: the two glucocerebrosidase forms were converted into a band with a mobility identical to that of band 1 beta-glucosidase. Our findings indicate that the interaction of glucocerebrosidase with phospholipid and SAP-2 has major effects on the mobility of the enzyme in the cellulose-acetate gel electrophoresis system. The findings with the cellulose-acetate gel electrophoretic system are discussed in relation to the heterogeneity in glucocerebrosidase observed with sucrose density gradient analysis, immunochemical methods and isoelectric focussing studies. 相似文献

Production, Purification, and Properties of a Thermostable beta-Glucosidase from a Color Variant Strain of Aureobasidium pullulans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A color variant strain of Aureobasidium pullulans (NRRL Y-12974) produced beta-glucosidase activity when grown in liquid culture on a variety of carbon sources, such as cellobiose, xylose, arabinose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, glucose, xylitol, xylan, cellulose, starch, and pullulan. An extracellular beta-glucosidase was purified 129-fold to homogeneity from the cell-free culture broth of the organism grown on corn bran. The purification protocol included ammonium sulfate treatment, CM Bio-Gel A agarose column chromatography, and gel filtrations on Bio-Gel A-0.5m and Sephacryl S-200. The beta-glucosidase was a glycoprotein with native molecular weight of 340,000 and was composed of two subunits with molecular weights of about 165,000. The enzyme displayed optimal activity at 75 degrees C and pH 4.5 and had a specific activity of 315 mumol . min . mg of protein under these conditions. The purified beta-glucosidase was active against p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucoside, cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentaose, cellohexaose, and celloheptaose, with K(m) values of 1.17, 1.00, 0.34, 0.36, 0.64, 0.68, and 1.65 mM, respectively. The enzyme activity was competitively inhibited by glucose (K(i) = 5.65 mM), while fructose, arabinose, galactose, mannose, and xylose (each at 56 mM) and sucrose and lactose (each at 29 mM) were not inhibitory. The enzyme did not require a metal ion for activity, and its activity was not affected by p-chloromercuribenzoate (0.2 mM), EDTA (10 mM), or dithiothreitol (10 mM). Ethanol (7.5%, vol/vol) stimulated the initial enzyme activity by 15%. Glucose production was enhanced by 7.9% when microcrystalline cellulose (2%, wt/vol) was treated for 48 h with a commercial cellulase preparation (5 U/ml) that was supplemented with the purified beta-glucosidase (0.21 U/ml) from A. pullulans. 相似文献

A constitutive beta-glucosidase of Erwinia herbicola Y46 was studied as a prerequisite to an assessment of its significance in the release of bacteriotoxic aglycones from plant beta-glucosides, and the possible effects of the aglycones on the course of such plant diseases as "fire-blight". The enzyme was purified 86.5-fold from crude extracts of cells grown on yeast beef broth. Ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose fractionation, and gel filtration through Sephadex G-100 resulted in a preparation having one peak of activity on isoelectrofocussing, on gel filtration through Sephadex G-200, and on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The latter techniques demonstrated, in addition to the major protein band associated with activity, a single minor impurity. The enzyme was active against p-nitrophenyl-beta-glucoside (p-NPG) and phloridzin, but showed only very slight activity against salicin and arbutin, and no detectable activity against beta-methyl-D-glucoside, cellobiose, lactose, and esculin. The production of beta-glucosidase was maximum at the late log phase of growth on yeast beef broth medium and declined somewhat thereafter. The incorporation of inducers (carbohydrates) in defined basal medium resulted in only small variations in specific activity in the resulting cells; The activity (p-NPG substrate) was not inhibited by D-glucose, phloretin, esculin, salicin, arbutin, lactose, or cellobiose, but was slightly inhibited by 1.0 mM phloridzin. Slight inhibition was observed in the presence of sulfhydryl reagents (iodoacetamide, p-chloromercuribenzoate), but sodium azide, ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid, Cu2+, and Zn2+ ions produced no effect. The activity was stable, in both crude and purified preparations, over the pH ranges 6.0-7.5 (100% activity) and 4.5-greater than 8.5 (50% activity). The enzyme retained 80% activity after 30 min at 50 degrees C, but only 25% after 30 min at 60 degrees C. The enzyme had a mean K-m value (phloridzin) of 1.35 times 10-4 M, an isoelectric point of 4.75, a molecular weight, determined by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, of about 122 000, and an optimum pH for activity of 6.5-7.0. 相似文献

The properties of two isozymes of beta-glucosidase of Penicillium funiculosum (part I of this series) are described. The molecular weights of isozyme 1 was 2.3 x 10(5) by gel filtration and 1.2 x 10(5) by SDS gel electrophoresis, indicating two subunits. The molecular weight of isozyme 2 was unusually low for a fungal beta-glucosidase: 1.6 x 10(4) by gel filtration and 3.7 x 10(4) in the presence of isopropanol. The two enzymes differed from other fungal beta-glucosidases in their substrate specificities. They showed high activity with pNPG, cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentaose, gentiobiose, and laminarin, but were inactive with filter paper, CM cellulose, or derivatives or stabilized by bovine serum albumin and several alcohols such as butanol and propanol. It was inhibited by glucono-delta-lactone (K(i) = 0.67muM) and glucose (K(i) = 0.92mM).The enzyme was quantitatively adsorbed by P. funiculosum mycelium at pH 4 and the immobilized enzyme was as enzymically active as the free enzyme, but more heat stable. The binding efficiency was very high (5000 IU enzyme/g mycelium). It could be quantitatively eluted with buffers at pH 7 or by 0.02M Ca, Mg, or Al chlorides. The binding was selective, since mycelium grown on lactose could produce and also bind only beta-glucosidase isozyme 1, whereas mycelium grown on cellulose could produce as well as bind both beta-glucosidase isozymes as well as cellulases. Mycelial binding was unaffected by washing with EDTA or trypsinization, but was totally lost by washing with dilute KOH, HCl, or ethylenediamine. 相似文献

A mutant of Alternaria alternata excreted enhanced levels of carboxymethylcellulase and particularly beta-glucosidase when grown in cellulose liquid media. Both enzymes were purified two- to four-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration, and the kinetic data showed K(m) values of 16.64 mg/ml of culture fluid for carboxymethylcellulase and 0.14 mM p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucoside and 0.81 mM cellobiose for beta-glucosidase at pH 5. Carboxymethylcellulase and extracellular beta-glucosidase functioned optimally at pH 5 to 6 and 4.5 to 5 and at temperatures of 55 to 60 and 70 to 75 degrees C, respectively. Both temperature optima and thermostability of beta-glucosidase were among the highest ever reported for the same enzyme excreted from cellulase and beta-glucosidase hyperproducing microorganisms. 相似文献

A beta-glucosidase (torvosidase) was purified to homogeneity from the young leaves of Solanum torvum. The enzyme was highly specific for cleavage of the glucose unit attached to the C-26 hydroxyl of furostanol glycosides from the same plant, namely torvosides A and H. Purified torvosidase is a monomeric glycoprotein, with a native molecular weight of 87 kDa by gel filtration and a pI of 8.8 by native agarose IEF. Optimum pH of the enzyme for p-nitrophenyl-beta-glucoside and torvoside H was 5.0. Kinetic studies showed that Km values for torvoside A (0.06 3mM) and torvoside H (0.068 mM) were much lower than those for synthetic substrates, pNP-beta-glucoside (1.03 mM) and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-glucoside (0.78 mM). The enzyme showed strict specificity for the beta-d-glucosyl bond when tested for glycone specificity. Torvosidase hydrolyses only torvosides and dalcochinin-8'-beta-glucoside, which is the natural substrate of Thai rosewood beta-glucosidase, but does not hydrolyse other natural substrates of the GH1 beta-glucosidases or of the GH3 beta-glucosidase families. Torvosidase also hydrolyses C5-C10 alkyl-beta-glucosides, with a rate of hydrolysis increasing with longer alkyl chain length. The internal peptide sequence of Solanum beta-glucosidase shows high similarity to the sequences of family GH3 glycosyl hydrolases. 相似文献

Lysosomal membrane fractions were prepared from lysosomes of mouse liver by freeze-thawing in a hypotonic buffer: 54% of beta-glucosidase [EC 3.2.1.45] in lysosomes was associated with the membrane fractions, whereas 96% of beta-glucuronidase [EC 3.2.1.31] was recovered in the soluble fractions of lysosomes. beta-glucosidase was solubilized by pH 9.5 treatment or by Triton treatment of membranes. The enzyme solubilized with alkali and concentrated with (NH4)2SO4 was rapidly inactivated in a solution of pH 9.5, but could be protected against inactivation by acidic detergent. Gel filtration analysis indicated that beta-glucosidase was in an aggregated form at neutral pH and could be disaggregated by alkali and detergents. The enzyme dissociated with detergents also showed a higher activity than the alkali-treated enzyme. These results suggested that beta-glucosidase is a peripheral enzyme bound to acidic lipids in membranes. beta-Glucosidase was purified to apparent homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and chromatographies with Sephacryl S-300, hydroxylapatite and cation exchangers in the presence of detergents. The catalytic activity of the purified enzyme was maximally stimulated by phosphatidylserine and heat-stable protein in the presence of a low concentration of Triton X-100. The stimulation was mainly due to an increase in Vmax. 相似文献

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), which is a precursor of ethylene in plants, has never been known to occur in microorganisms. We describe the synthesis of ACC by Penicillium citrinum, purification of ACC synthase [EC 4.4.1.14] and ACC deaminase [EC 4.1.99.4], and their properties. Analyses of P. citrinum culture showed occurrence of ACC in the culture broth and in the cell extract. ACC synthase was purified from cells grown in a medium containing 0.05% L-methionine and ACC deaminase was done from cells incubated in a medium containing 1% 2-aminoisobutyrate. The purified ACC synthase, with a specific activity of 327 milliunit/mg protein, showed a single band of M(r) 48,000 in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular mass of the native enzyme by gel filtration was 96,000 Da. The ACC synthase had the Km for S-adenosyl-L-methionine of 1.74 mM and kcat of 0.56 s-1 per monomer. The purified ACC deaminase, with a specific activity of 4.7 unit/mg protein, showed one band in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of M(r) 41,000. The molecular mass of the native ACC deaminase was 68,000 Da by gel filtration. The enzyme had a Km for ACC of 4.8 mM and kcat of 3.52 s-1. The presence of 7 mM Cu2+ in alkaline buffer solution was effective for increasing the stability of the ACC deaminase in the process of purification. 相似文献

Active nonphosphorylated fructose bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) was purified from bakers' yeast. After chromatography on phosphocellulose, the enzyme appeared as a homogeneous protein as deduced from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, gel filtration, and isoelectric focusing. A Stokes radius of 44.5 A and molecular weight of 116,000 was calculated from gel filtration. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate resulted in three protein bands of Mr = 57,000, 40,000, and 31,000. Only one band of Mr = 57,000 was observed, when the single band of the enzyme obtained after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate was eluted and then resubmitted to electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Amino acid analysis indicated 1030 residues/mol of enzyme including 12 cysteine moieties. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was estimated by gel electrofocusing to be around pH 5.5. The catalytic activity showed a maximum at pH 8.0; the specific activity at the standard pH of 7.0 was 46 units/mg of protein. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase b, the less active phosphorylated form of the enzyme, was purified from glucose inactivated yeast. This enzyme exhibited maximal activity at pH greater than or equal to 9.5; the specific activity measured at pH 7.0 was 25 units/mg of protein. The activity ratio, with 10 mM Mg2+ relative to 2 mM Mn2+, was 4.3 and 1.8 for fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase a and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase b, respectively. Activity of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase a was 50% inhibited by 0.2 microM fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or 50 microM AMP. Inhibition by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate as well as by AMP decreased with a more alkaline pH in a range between pH 6.5 and 9.0. The inhibition exerted by combinations of the two metabolites at pH 7.0 was synergistic. 相似文献

A haemagglutinating protein from the saline extracts of Kalanchoe crenata leaves, which agglutinate all human blood types, was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Cellulose column followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The purified protein showed one band, both in non-denaturing PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The M(r) that was determined by SDS-PAGE was 44,000 Da and that estimated from gel filtration was 47,000. Treatment of the haemagglutinating protein with 5 mM EDTA diminished the haemagglutinating activity to 50% of the original level. The addition of divalent cations, 10 mM Mg(2+), 10 mM Mn(2+), or 10mM Ba(2+), totally restored and enhanced the activity. The protein showed maximum activity over the 3-7 pH range and was heat-resistant. It was also a glycoprotein containing about 1.5% carbohydrate. 相似文献
