Some characteristics of estrogen sulfotransferases from guinea pig liver and chorion were compared. Liver cytosolic activity was stimulated 10-fold by 25 mM monothiolglycerol and 2-fold by 15 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2, similar to that found previously for chorion. Liver and chorion activities were each eluted as a single peak from fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) gel filtration columns at apparent molecular weights of 52,300 and 50,000, respectively. Each was eluted during FPLC anion exchange under single, wide peaks with low recoveries. Liver sulfotransferase activity was eluted from Affi-gel Blue columns in the form of several peaks whereas the chorion activity behaved as a single species. The enzymes from both tissues, when partially purified by gel filtration followed by anion exchange, acted upon estrone and estradiol at the 3-position but activity toward dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone was minimal or undetectable. Affi-gel Blue chromatography followed by FPLC gel filtration resulted in increases in specific activity of 26- and 90-fold for liver and chorion, respectively. Both enzymes were eluted from agarose-hexane-adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate (PAP-agarose) columns as single peaks. Average increases in specific activity for this column step were 40-fold and 96-fold for the entire eluted peaks of liver and chorion enzyme, respectively. Individual fractions from the PAP-agarose column indicated a specific activity increase of as much as 60-fold for liver and 208-fold for chorion. These latter were markedly unstable and it was not possible to obtain further purification by additional steps. Velocity versus substrate concentration curves for the partially purified enzymes showed complex kinetics, particularly with estradiol as substrate. 相似文献

Mouse placental estrogen sulfotransferase (ST) was partially purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) gel filtration in combination with FPLC anion exchange. Owing to the highly unstable nature of the enzyme, large increases in specific activity were not obtained. Storage of the ST in the presence of thiol groups at -20 degrees C stabilized the enzyme considerably. Forty-three percent of the cytosolic ST was bound to an Affi-Gel blue column and eluted as a broad peak at approximately 0.8 M NaCl. The use of the latter procedure, in combination with FPLC gel filtration, did not increase the specific activity substantially. Larger increases in specific activity were obtained using agarose-hexane-adenosine-3',5'-diphosphate affinity chromatography. The bound ST activity was eluted under a single peak at 1 mM ADP. Increases in specific activity following use of this column averaged 54-fold but could reach 90-fold. Attempts at further purification of this material resulted in low recovery and decreased specific activity. Velocity versus substrate concentration curves show that estrone and particularly estradiol inhibit the partially purified mouse placental sulfotransferase above 0.1-0.25 microM substrate concentrations. 相似文献

Protein kinase from Streptomyces lincolnensis was purified nearly to homogeneity using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a Pharmacia FPLC system. The procedure used employed column chromatography on DE-53, followed by FPLC affinity chromatography with serine- or threonine-Sepharose (prepared as described in this paper) and gel filtration using a Superose 12 or TSK G3000SW column. Starting with 3.5 g of mycelial proteins, ∼ 1 mg of pure enzyme was obtained. The procedure is simple and highly reproducible. The protein kinase thus obtained was nearly pure by silver staining after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylaminde gel electrophoresis. The purified protein kinase phosphorylated substrate proteins at the seryl residues. 相似文献

Estrogen sulfotransferase (EST) activity measured under optimal in vitro conditions in the 105,000 g cytosols (HSS) of homogenized intrauterine tissues (amnion, chorion, endometrium, decidua basalis and placenta) from guinea-pigs at the 50th day of gestation indicated that the highest specific activity occurred in the chorion. EST activity in the chorion increased from day 34 (early gestation) to peak around day 45 (mid-gestation), before significantly decreasing around day 50 and further declining to barely detectable levels beyond day 60 (late gestation, the onset of parturition). 17 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSD) activity in the chorion was almost completely membrane associated. The specific activity of the 17 beta-HSD reduction reaction in the 105,000 g pellet was 2.5-fold higher at mid-gestation than at late gestation, while the specific activity of the 17 beta-HSD oxidation reaction was 1.7-fold higher at mid-gestation as compared with late gestation. When intact pieces of chorion tissue from mid- and late gestation were incubated with 5 nM [3H]estradiol (E2), approx. 80% of the recovered free estrogen was E1 (estrone). Only chorion from animals at the onset of parturition were able to produce detectable amounts of E2 from 5 nM [3H]E1. Under the same experimental conditions the ratio of estradiol sulfate (E2S) to estrone sulfate (E1S) isolated from the media and methanol washes of late gestation chorion tissue was 3-4 times greater than for the day 45 tissue. 相似文献

The proteins of highly purified rat liver mitochondria were resolved by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and detected by staining with either Coomassie blue or silver. Approximately 250 polypeptides were detected with silver staining which is 2- to 3-times that observed with Coomassie blue. Silver staining was especially more effective than Coomassie blue for detecting polypeptides of less than 50 000 daltons. A two-dimensional gel pattern of rat liver microsomes was distinct from that of the mitochondria. The mitochondrial outer membrane was prepared from purified mitochondria either with digitonin or by swelling in a hypotonic medium. As assessed by marker enzymes, the latter method yielded a considerably purer outer membrane preparation (20-fold purification) than the former (2.6-fold purification). Approximately 50 polypeptides were observed in a two-dimensional gel (pH 3-10) of the highly purified outer membrane fraction. Three isoelectric forms of the pore (VDAC) protein were observed with pI values of 8.2, 7.8 and 7.1. Monoamine oxidase was identified as a polypeptide of Mr 60 000. About 50 polypeptides were also resolved in a reverse polarity non-equilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis gel of the outer membrane, pH 3-10, with at least six isoelectric forms of the VDAC protein observed under these conditions. The six isoforms of the VDAC protein were also observed in a non-equilibrium gel with 2 micrograms of the purified protein. 相似文献

Lactate oxidase was purified from Aerococcus viridans (A. viridans) by dye affinity chromatography and FPLC ion exchange chromatography. The lactate oxidase could be purified by comparatively simple procedures, the purification achieved from a crude extract of A. viridans was 41-fold with a specific activity of 143 units/(mg of protein). The purified enzyme was a L-lactate oxidase, which catalyses the conversion of L-lactate in the presence of molecular oxygen to pyruvate and H(2)O(2). This purified lactate oxidase showed an apparent molecular mass of 48,200 in SDS-PAGE and the native molecular weight, as estimated by FPLC gel filtration, was 187,300. This molecular weight indicates that lactate oxidase exists in tetrameric form after gel filtration. To differing degrees, all the triazine dyes tested were inhibitors of lactate oxidase, solutions of free triazine dyes showing an inhibition mechanism which was both time- and pH-dependent. 相似文献

A cell-specific isozyme of calmodulin (CaM)-dependent phosphodiesterase that exhibits micromolar affinity for cAMP has been purified 900-fold from mouse testis by DEAE chromatography, gel filtration, affinity chromatography with CaM-Sepharose 4B, and isoelectric focusing. The highly purified enzyme is stimulated 5-6-fold by CaM in the presence of Ca2+ and hydrolyzes both cAMP and cGMP with anomalous substrate dependence, i.e. high and low affinity components (Km 2 and 20 microM) are observed either in the presence or absence of CaM. Each of the substrates acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of the other, suggesting the presence of two distinct catalytic sites on the enzyme. Hydrodynamic studies suggest that the testis phosphodiesterase is an asymmetric monomer of 68-70 kDa that forms a dimer after interaction with Ca2+ and CaM; the tetrameric complex exhibits an apparent molecular size of 180 kDa. These enzymatic and biophysical properties differ in many respects from those of the brain isozyme, suggesting that they are different proteins. Nevertheless, common epitopes do exist, since the testis enzyme interacted with rabbit antibodies raised against bovine brain CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase. The major peptide of 68 kDa was strongly reactive on immunoblots, and was distinguished unambiguously from the 60-kDa species from mouse brain. A comparison of the immunoreactive fragments produced by limited proteolysis with staphylococcal V-8 protease indicated several similarities in the domains of these polypeptides. Thus, although differing in several important physical and biochemical parameters, the testis enzyme appears immunologically related to CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase from brain. On the basis of these data, we conclude that common elements of the structural genes for these isozymes have been conserved, whereas certain biological properties, including substrate specificity, have diverged substantially. 相似文献

Human brain α-L-fucosidase has been extracted and the soluble portion has been purified 9388-fold with 25% yield by a two-step affinity chromatographic procedure utilizing agarose-epsilon-aminocaproyl-fucosamine. Isoelectric focusing revealed that all seven isoelectric forms of the enzyme were purified. Trace amounts of eight glycosidases, with hexosaminidase being the largest contaminant (1% by activity) were found in the purified α-L-fucosidase preparation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated the presence of a single subunit of molecular weight 51,000 ± 2500. The purified enzyme has a pH optimum of 4.7 with a suggested second optimum of 6.6. The apparent Michaelis constant and maximal velocity of the purified enzyme with respect to the p-nitrophenyl substrate are 0.44 mM and 10.7 μmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Ag2+ and Hg2+ completely inactivated the enzyme at concentrations of 0.1-0.3 mM. Antibodies made previously against purified human liver α-L-fucosidase cross-reacted with the purified brain α-L-fucosidase and gave a single precipitin line coincident with that from purified liver α-L-fucosidase. From all our studies it appears that at least the soluble portion of brain α-L-fucosidase is identical to human liver α-L-fucosidase. 相似文献

The molybdate-stabilized nontransformed form of the glucocorticoid receptor from rabbit liver has been purified approximately 8,000-fold by a three-step procedure. The first step involved protamine sulfate precipitation which allowed a 5-6-fold purification with 85% yield. The second step, affinity chromatography using a N-(12-dodecyl-amino) 9 alpha-fluoro-16 alpha-methyl-11 beta, 17 alpha-dihydroxy-3-oxo-1,4-androstadiene-17 beta-carboxamide substituted Sepharose gel, purified the receptor 1,500-2,000-fold as calculated by specific radioactivity. The third step involved high performance liquid chromatography resulting in overall purification near 8,000-fold. The final glucocorticoid receptor appeared about 60% pure. The purified nontransformed glucocorticoid receptor had a sedimentation coefficient of 9 S in 0.16 M phosphate containing 5-20% sucrose gradients and the Stokes radius was 6.1-6.3 nm as determined by low pressure gel filtration and HPLC. Binding specificity of the purified receptor was identical to that previously reported in crude rabbit liver cytosol. Isoelectricfocusing and ion-exchange chromatography showed that the purification procedure affected the net charge of the receptor protein. This phenomenon could be related to interactions between the glucocorticoid receptor and cytosolic factors. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a major Mr = 94,000 protein band which is in good agreement with previously reported values for glucocorticoid receptors. Transformation of the purified receptor was achieved after removal of molybdate by exposure at 25 degrees C to 0.4 M KCl. Characterization of the molecular forms was performed by means of incorporation into isolated nuclei, affinity towards polyanionic exchangers and high pressure size exclusion chromatography. Results show that about 40% of the receptor is in the transformed state. 相似文献

The rat liver insulin receptor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Using insulin affinity chromatography, we have isolated highly purified insulin receptor from rat liver. When evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, the rat liver receptor contained the Mr 125,000 alpha-subunit, the Mr 90,000 beta-subunit, and varying proportions of the Mr 45,000 beta'-subunit. The specific insulin binding of the purified receptor was 25-30 micrograms of 125I-insulin/mg of protein, and the receptor underwent insulin-dependent autophosphorylation. Rat liver and human placental receptors differ from each other in several functional aspects: (1) the adsorption-desorption behavior from four insulin affinity columns indicated that the rat liver receptor binds less firmly to immobilized ligands; (2) the 125I-insulin binding affinity of the rat liver receptor is lower than that of the placental receptor; (3) partial reduction of the rat liver receptor with dithiothreitol increases its insulin binding affinity whereas the binding affinity of the placental receptor is unchanged; (4) at optimal insulin concentration, rat liver receptor autophosphorylation is stimulated 25-50-fold whereas the placental receptor is stimulated only 4-6-fold. Conversion of the beta-subunit to beta' by proteolysis is a major problem that occurs during exposure of the receptor to the pH 5.0 buffer used to elute the insulin affinity column. The rat receptor is particularly subject to destruction. Frequently, we have obtained receptor preparations that did not contain intact beta-subunit. These preparations failed to undergo autophosphorylation, but their insulin binding capacity and binding isotherms were identical with those of receptor containing beta-subunit. Proteolytic destruction and the accompanying loss of insulin-dependent autophosphorylation can be substantially reduced by proteolysis inhibitors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Two Sepharose-bound substrate analogs, 6'-aminohexanoyl-(2-N-sphingosyl-O-beta-D-glucoside) and 6'-aminohexyl-dodecanedioyl-1-(2-N-sphingosyl-1-O-beta-D-glu coside), were synthesized and used sequentially for the affinity purification of lysosomal beta-glucosidase (N-acyl-sphingosyl-1-O-beta-D-glucoside:glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.45). The capacities of these nondegradable affinity supports were 0.1 and 0.15 mg enzyme/ml settled gel, respectively. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 75 mumol min-1 mg-1. The preparation had a single protein band with a molecular weight of 67,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, evidencing its apparent homogeneity. Isoelectric focusing on granular gels revealed four molecular forms of the enzyme with pI values of 4.0, 4.5, 4.7, and 5.8 to 6.2. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed glucosyl ceramide and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucoside with Km and Vmax values of 0.6 and 2.5 mM, and 101 and 26.1 mumol min-1 mg-1, respectively. The enzyme also hydrolyzed octyl beta-glucoside, a linear mixed-type inhibitor of the enzyme. Binding constants (Ki) were determined for the inhibitors, sphingosyl-1-O-beta-D-glucoside (Ki = 20 microM) and its N-hexyl derivative (Ki = 0.3 microM). The enzyme had a half-life of 65 and 30 min at 50 degrees C and pH 5.0 or 6.0, respectively. In addition, two other classes of ligands were used for the purification of lysosomal beta-glucosidase, and their capacities and specificities were compared to those of the substrate analog affinity supports. These included (i) the alkyl amine inhibitors octylamine, decylamine, and tetradecylamine; and (ii) the inhibitors, 6-aminohexanoyl-beta-glucosylamine and aminododecanoyl-1-(2-N-sphingosyl-1-O-beta-D-glucoside). Compared to these other ligand columns, the substrate analog affinity supports had about 100- to 1000-fold greater capacities or afforded 8- to 40-fold greater purification of human lysosomal beta-glucosidase. 相似文献

Three forms of Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) were extensively purified from rat liver homogenate. Subcellular fractionation analysis indicated that the majority (approximately 85%) of the activity was associated with particulate fractions of the liver. Among these, the microsomal and nuclear fractions accounted for approximately 63% and approximately 10% of total activity. The remaining 15% of protein kinase C was recovered in the soluble fraction following differential centrifugation. It was also found that most of the membrane-associated protein kinase C was latent, with 4-6-fold stimulation with detergents such as 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate, octyl beta-glucoside, or Triton X-100. The activity of both the bound form and the soluble enzyme was enhanced by the addition of Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine, when histone H1 was used as substrate. The bound protein kinase C activity was dissociated by homogenization of liver in buffer containing ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,-N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and various proteolytic inhibitors, and the solubilized extract was used to purify multiple forms of the enzyme. The purification procedure sequentially utilized (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, gel permeation chromatography on Fractogel TSK HW-55 (F), ion-exchange chromatography on hydroxylapatite, gel permeation chromatography on Ultrogel AcA34, and affinity chromatography on polyacrylamide-immobilized phosphatidylserine. On hydroxylapatite columns, protein kinase C activity was resolved into three isoenzymic forms designated C-I, C-II, and C-III. The molecular weights of the three isoenzymic forms were in the range of 208,000-225,000 as shown by chromatography on calibrated Ultrogel AcA34 columns and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Furthermore, all three isoenzymes demonstrated a single peak with a sedimentation coefficient (s20.w) in the range of 9.0-9.2. However, with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, all the forms showed a single protein component with average molecular weight of 64K, suggesting that the native isoenzymes may be composed by subunits. Finally, all three isoenzymes exhibited nearly identical enzymatic properties. 相似文献

A superposition between the structures of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius esterase 2 (EST2) and Burkholderia cepacia lipase, the latter complexed with a phosphonate inhibitor, allowed us to hypothesize for the EST2 N terminus a role in restricting the access to the active site and therefore in modulating substrate specificity. In order to test this hypothesis we generated by site-directed mutagenesis some truncated versions of EST2 and its double mutant M211S/R215L (S/L) at the N terminus. In parallel, an analysis of the Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 genome allowed us to identify a gene coding for a putative esterase of the HSL family having a natural deletion of the corresponding region. The product of this gene and the above-mentioned EST2 mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and characterised. These studies support the notion that the N terminus affects substrate specificity other than several other enzyme parameters. Although the deletions afforded a tenfold and 550-fold decrease in catalytic efficiency towards the best substrate pNP-hexanoate at 50 degrees C for EST2 and S/L, respectively, the analysis of the specific activities with different triacylglycerols with respect to pNP-hexanoate showed that their ratios were higher for deleted versus non-deleted enzymes, on all tested substrates. In particular, the above ratios for glyceryl tridecanoate were 30-fold and 14-fold higher in S/L and EST2 deleted forms, respectively, compared with their full-length versions. This behaviour was confirmed by the analysis of the S.solfataricus esterase, which showed similar specific activities on pNP-hexanoate and triacylglycerols; in addition, higher activities on the latter substrates were observed in comparison with EST2, S/L and their deleted forms. Finally, a dramatic effect on thermophilicity and thermostability in the EST2 deleted forms was observed. This is the first report highlighting the importance of the "cap" domain in the HSL family, since the N terminus partly contributes to the building up of this structure. 相似文献

This paper reports on the synthesis of Org2058-bonded microparticulate silicas and their use in affinity chromatography as the first step for the purification of human progesterone receptor. The development of microprocessor-controlled instruments allows all the various steps to be performed automatically. The various steps used for the purification of human progesterone receptor were carried out with the FPLC system: affinity chromatography, desalting of eluate on Sephadex G-25, anion-exchange chromatography using a Mono Q column. With this procedure the receptor was purified approx. 10,000-fold within 24 h. The yield of receptor was generally 85-95%. Investigations with induced anti-progesterone receptor antibodies obtained after the fourth immunization show their immunoreactive behaviour towards progesterone receptor in crude cytosol, which was proved by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and by gel filtration on the FPLC system using a Sepharose 12 column. This implies that progesterone receptor was efficiently purified by our purification procedure. 相似文献

The purification procedure of cathepsin S includes acid activation of spleen homogenate, incubation at 37 degrees C, precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 in H2O/tert-butanol medium, gel chromatography, chromatofocusing, covalent chromatography and cation chromatography of FPLC system. Cathepsin S has a M(r) of about 24,000 Da with pI of 6.5 and 6.8. The mixture of both forms gave a single sequence. Cathepsin L was purified from bovine kidney by acid treatment and incubation of 37 degrees C, precipitation by (NH4)2SO4, two ion exchange chromatographies on CM-Sephadex, gel chromatography and ion exchange chromatography on FPLC system. Cathepsin L exists in multiple forms with pI 5.3-5.7 and M(r) of about 29,000 Da. N-terminal amino acid sequence confirms that cathepsin L and cathepsin S are different enzymes. 相似文献

Purification and properties of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from the corpus luteum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cytoplasmic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (isocitrate: NADP+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.42) was purified 290-fold from the 15,000 x g supernatant fraction of porcine corpora lutea. The major purification step was by anion-exchange chromatography with an FPLC mono P column. Enzyme lability was overcome by including Mg2+, DL-isocitrate, dithiothreitol and glycerol in the elution buffers. The molecular weight of the denatured enzyme was found to be 48,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Stokes' radius was estimated to be 3.7 nm by gel filtration and the isoelectric point was 4.8 as determined by chromatofocusing. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 57.8 units/mg and a broad optimal pH for activity from 7.5 to 9.0. The Km for the substrates DL-isocitrate and NADP+ were 13 and 12 microM, respectively. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against the purified enzyme. Protein (Western) blotting showed an immunological similarity between the cytoplasmic enzyme of the ovary, liver, adrenal gland and heart. A difference was demonstrated between the ovarian enzyme and the heart mitochondrial enzyme. The substrate turnover number and Mr of the ovarian enzyme were similar to those found for the enzyme from the liver and adrenal gland. 相似文献

Sialidase secreted by the urease-positiveClostridium sordellii strain G12 was isolated from culture medium and purified to apparent homogeneity as estimated by Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) and sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). For this purpose, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, isoelectric focusing, and FPLC on ion-exchange resin and gel filtration materials were used. The sialidase was purified 159 300-fold from 5 l of culture medium, yielding 9 g of enzyme protein with a specific activity of 480 U/mg. For the denatured (SDS-PAGE) and native (FPLC) sialidase relative molecular masses of 40 000 and 38 500 Da, respectively, were estimated. The substrate specificity, kinetic data, and pH-optimum of the enzyme are similar to those of other bacterial sialidases. The influences of salt or serum proteins on enzyme activity are of interest.Abbreviations MU-Neu5Ac

Rabbit liver guanine aminohydrolase has been purified 1250-fold by utilization of an affinity chromatographic separation on 9-(p-aminoethoxyphenyl) guanine-Sepharose with 50% recovery of activity. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified preparations revealed several protein bans which corresponded to regions of enzyme activity measured on gels which had been run under the same conditons. Gel concentration studies of the protein migration rate showed that the protein bans differed in molecular size. The minimum molecular weight was 100,000 from gel permeation chromatography studies. The pH optimum was near pH 8 and the Km, with guanine as substrate was 5.6 x 10-6 M. The latter values are in close agreement with partially purified preparations described in the literature. 相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum cellobiohydrolase was isolated in preparative amounts from the recombinant strain of E. coli K12 C600 carrying plasmid pCU 304 with a C. thermocellum chromosomal DNA insertion. The isolation procedure included chromatography on Ultrogel AcA 44, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, rechromatography on Ultrogel and FPLC on Mono Q resulting in a 17.6% yield and 1530-fold purification. According to data from sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis performed under nondenaturing conditions and analytical gel isoelectrofocusing, the enzyme preparation contains only one active protein band with Mr 56.2 +/- 1.0 kDa and pI 4.15. The enzyme does not reduce the viscosity of the CM-cellulose solution but forms reducing sugars from this soluble substrate. Cellobiose (93-97%) is the major component produced by the enzyme from crystalline and amorphous cellulose (specific activity 2.3 x 10(-3) and 2.8 x 10(-2) U/mg, respectively). The activity optimum of the enzyme is at pH 5.6, 60 degrees C. The half-inactivation time at 60 degrees C and 65 degrees C is 450 and 15.5 min, respectively. The action pattern of the enzyme on the low molecular fluorogenic cellooligosaccharides suggests that the enzyme pertains to typical cellobiohydrolases. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase from bovine neurointermediate pituitary 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Extracts of bovine neurointermediate pituitary secretory granules and frozen bovine neurointermediate pituitary contain multiple forms of peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) activity differing in apparent molecular weight and in charge. Metal chelate affinity chromatography, substrate affinity chromatography, and gel filtration resulted in the purification of two forms of amidation activity from frozen bovine neurointermediate pituitary: PAM-A, apparent molecular weight 54,000, was purified 7,000-fold and PAM-B, apparent molecular weight 38,000, was purified 21,000-fold. Enzyme activity of similar molecular weights was observed in the starting material. Purified PAM-A and PAM-B correspond to two of the three charge forms present in crude extracts, and both exhibited optimal activity at alkaline pH. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of PAM-B revealed the presence of two bands with apparent molecular weights of 42,000 and 37,000; autoradiography of 125I-labeled PAM-B revealed only the same two bands, and 125I-labeled PAM-B co-eluted with enzyme activity during gel filtration. PAM-A was still heterogeneous based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The properties of purified PAM-A and PAM-B were very similar to those of amidation activity in crude extracts: activity was reduced upon removal of molecular oxygen; activity was stimulated by the addition of CuSO4 and eliminated by the addition of diethyldithiocarbamate; activity was stimulated by the addition of ascorbate, with optimal levels of ascorbate increasing as the concentration of peptide substrate was increased. In the presence of 1.25 mM ascorbate, PAM-B exhibited a Km of 7.0 microM for D-Tyr-Val-Gly and a Vmax of 84 nmol/micrograms/h. 相似文献
