Trypsin like enzyme has been isolated from sperm of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus , using tryptophane methyl ester-Sepharose 4B and soybean trypsin inhibitor-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatographies.
The isolated enzyme preparation is homogenous in polyacrylamide gel electrohoresis at pH 2.3. The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by gel filtration is about 33,000, and the enzyme separates into two subunits of 10,900 and 20,500 on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol.
This enzyme is active to N-α-benzoyl arginine ethyl ester (BAEE), N-α-toluenesulfonyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (TAME), and N-α-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide, but not N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, Hippuryl-L-arginine, and Hippuryl-L-phenylalanine. The optimal pH of this enzyme is about 8.0. The Michaelis constants for BAEE and TAME are 3.3 × 10−6 M, and 8.2 × 10−5 M, respectively.
Soybean trypsin inhibitor and lima bean trypsin inhibitor completely inhibit the activity of this enzyme, while N-α-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, ovomucoid trypsin inhibitor, and α-1-antitrypsin partially inhibit. L-1-tosylamide-2-phenyl chloromethyl ketone, chyrnostatin, and aporotinine are without effect.
This enzyme is stable at pH 2.0–3.0 and labile at pH 8.0. Ca2+ and Mg2+ activate this enzyme, but do not stabilize at pH 8.0. Seawater, NaCl, and KCl inhibit this enzyme activity.
Release of this enzyme from the acrosomal vesicle is suggested. 相似文献

A proteinase from the larval midgut of Vespa orientalis was purified by exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. This purified enzyme was proved to be homogeneous by electrophoresis on a cellulose acetate membrane. The molecular weight was calculated to be 27,000 by gel filtration. Optimum pH for the hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-arginine-ethyl ester (BAEE) was 7·5 to 8·5, and optimum temperature with casein as a substrate was 60°C at pH 8·0 for 20 min. According to studies with synthetic inhibitors the hornet protease belongs to the ‘serine proteases’, being inhibited by phenylmethyl sulphonylfluoride (PMSF) and tosyl-lysyl chloromethane (TLCK). The hydrolysis of different amino acid ester bonds and the cleavage specificity on the B chain of oxidized insulin allow us to speak of a trypsin-like protease. 相似文献

Some kinetic properties of N-acetylglutamate 5-phosphotransferase (ATP: N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-phosphotransferase EC 2.7.2.8) purified approx. 2000-fold from Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been studied. The enzyme required Mg2+ for activity. Mn2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and Ca2+, in this order, could replace Mg2+ partially. The substrate specificity was narrow: N-carbamoyl-L-glutamate and N-formyl-L-glutamate were phosphorylated, but at a lower rate than N-acetyl-L-glutamate; N-propionyl-L-glutamate was almost inactive as a substrate. dATP, but neither GTP nor ITP, could be used instead of ATP. The enzyme had a broad pH optimum from pH 6.5 to 9. Feedback inhibition by L-arginine was markedly dependent on pH. Above pH 9 no inhibition was observed. L-Citrulline was three times less potent an inhibitor than L-arginine. The enzyme showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, even at low concentration of the second substrate. The apparent Km was 2 mM for N-acetyl-L-glutamate (at 10 mM ATP) and approx. 3 mM for ATP (at 40 mM N-acetyl-L-glutamate). In the presence of L-arginine the rate-concentration curves for N-acetyl-L-glutamate became signoidal, while no cooperativity was detected for ATP. A method was developed allowing the determination of N-acetyl-L-glutamate in the nanomolar range by means of purified enzyme. 相似文献

Crystalline L-histidine ammonia-lyase of Achromobacter liquidum was prepared with a 24% recovery of the activity. The specific activity of the pure enzyme (63 mumol of urocanic acid min-1 mg-1) is similar to those so far reported for the enzyme from other sources. The purified enzyme appeared to be homogeneous by analytical disc electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing (pI = 4.95). The molecular weight determined by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration is 200000. The optimum pH is 8.2, and the optimum temperature is 50 degrees C. The enzyme showed strict specificity to L-histidine (Km = 3.6 mM). Several histidine derivatives are not susceptible to the enzyme but do inhibit the enzyme activity competitively; the most effective inhibitors are L-histidine methyl ester (Ki = 3.66 mM) and beta-imidazole lactic acid (Ki = 3.84 mM). L-Histidine hydrazide (Ki = 36 mM) and imidazole (Ki = 6 mM) noncompetitively inhibited the enzyme EDTA markedly inhibited enzyme activity and this inhibition were reversed by divalent metal ions such as Mn2+, Co2+ Zn2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. These results suggest that the presence of divalent metal ions is necessary for the catalytic activity of histidine ammonia-lyase. Sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide inhibited the enzyme activity. 相似文献

Heat-stable extracellular proteolytic enzyme produced by Thermus caldophilus strain GK24, an extremely thermophilic bacterium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Proteolytic activity was detected in the culture supernatant of a newly isolated, extremely thermophilic bacterium belonging to the genus Thermus, and tentatively named T. caldophilus sp. n. strain GK24. The enzyme activity continued to increase for at least three days after cells reached the stationary phase of growth. Purification of the proteolytic enzyme was tried with ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. The most purified enzyme fraction thus obtained appeared to be homogeneous in a chromatographic analysis, but still had seven bands of proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Treatment of the protease with denaturing reagents or organic solvents did not alter the chromatographic profile and the purified enzyme sample showed a large sedimentation coefficient of about 11S. The optimal pH of the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme was observed at around 7.8 for casein and 7.2 for N-carbobenzoxy-L-leucyl-L-tyrosinamide (Z-Leu-Tyr-NH2). The enzyme was stable in the pH range of 5 to 11 for 1 day at 4 degrees C or for 1 h at 70 degrees C. The enzyme sample showed a maximal activity at 90 degrees C and had an extreme stability toward treatment by heat and denaturing reagents. The enzyme sample was inactivated almost completely by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), but not by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). From these results, the enzyme seems to be a serine protease, and not to be a metallo-enzyme such as thermolysin. The enzyme also was hydrolytic active toward an ester compound, N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE), but not toward N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE). 相似文献

1. A serine protease of hepatoma 8999, isolated in the mitochondrial fraction, was purified and crystallized. The purified enzyme was apparently homogeneous on ultracentrifugal analysis and polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The ratio of absorbance at 280 nm and 260 nm, A280/A260, was 1.90 and its absorption coefficient, A280 1% was 10.5 cm-1 estimated from dry weight measurements. Its S20, w value was 2.23 S and its molecular weight was estimated to be 24000 +/- 1000. The enzyme contained twice as much lysine, arginine and histidine as chymotrypsinogen did, but had a very similar amino acid composition to serine protease from skeletal muscle. Its isoelectric point was pH 10.6. 2. The substrate specificity of the enzyme was the same as that of chymotrypsin A. Its Km and kcat values for N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine ethyl ester and N-acetyl-L-tryptophan ethyl ester were 0.35 mM and 10.69 s-1, 0.38 mM and 10.7 s-1, and 0.11 mM and 11.8 s-1, respectively. Its activity was completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and partially inhibited with tosylphenylalanine chloromethyl ketone. 3. The enzyme was shown to be located in different granules from the intracellular particules (light and heavy mitochondrial fraction) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and it was stained in mast cells of the hepatoma 8999 by the immunofluorescent technique. 4. Serine protease is present in different amounts in various organs of rat and the enzyme from hepatoma 8999 gave a single band that fused completely with those of the enzymes from skeletal muscle, heart, liver and kidney, respectively, on Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis using antiserum to the crystalline enzyme of hepatoma 8999, but the enzyme from small intestine did not react with the antiserum. 相似文献

Characterization of soybean trypsin inhibitor sensitive protease from unfertilized sea urchin eggs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A serine protease from sea urchin eggs has been isolated by affinity chromatography on soybean trypsin inhibitor-agarose. Benzamidine hydrochloride was included to minimize autodegradation. We present data on the properties of the protease with respect to molecular weight and its interaction with trypsin inhibitors and substrates. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 47 000 by gel filtration under nonreducing conditions and 35 000 by electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and dithiothreitol. The pH optimum and Km with N alpha-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) are 8.0 and 75 microM, respectively. The specific activity is comparable to that of bovine pancreatic trypsin. Proteolytic activity was measured by beta-casein hydrolysis. The caseinolytic activity is completely inhibited by 1 mumol of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) per micromole of enzyme. BAEE esterase activity is inhibited competitively by SBTI (Ki = 1.6 nM), lima bean trypsin inhibitor (150 nM), chicken ovomucoid (100 nM), and leupeptin (130 nM). Bowman-Birk inhibitor, benzamidine hydrochloride, and antipain are also inhibitors of the purified enzyme. Inhibition by phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and N alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone indicates the presence of serine and histidine residues in the active center, respectively. The chymotrypsin inhibitor L-1-(tosylamido)-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone is ineffective. The protease is susceptible to autodegradation which can result in the appearance of a minor 23-kilodalton component. The egg protease appears to be similar in many respects to trypsins and trypsin-like enzymes isolated from a wide variety of sources, including sea urchin and mammalian sperm. 相似文献

A peptidase cleaving a synthetic substrate for collagenase, 4-phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-L-Pro-D-Arg (designated as PZ-peptide) has been purified extensively (about 5200-fold) from a soluble extract of monkey kidney with a view of carrying out studies on its possible physiological role. The purified PZ-peptidase appeared essentially free of collagenase, nonspecific protease and di- and tri-peptidase activities. The properties of the purified PZ-peptidase resemble very much the granuloma enzyme. It is optimally active around pH 7.0. Its apparent Km value for PZ-peptide is 0.72 mM and V is 10.1 mumol/mg protein/min. It is reversibly inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and HgCl2, whereas iodoactetamide does not affect the enzyme activity. N-Ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzyme partially (50%). Heavy metals like Cu-2+, Cd-2+, Ag+, Pb-2+, Ni-2+, and Zn-2+ completely inhibited the enzyme activity, while the inhibition by Co-2+ was only partial. Fe-2+ did not exert any effect on the activity. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by EDTA and was restored almost to the original value by metal ions like Mn-2+, Mg-2+, Ca-2+ and Ba-2+. The approximate molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 56 000. 相似文献

Mutant A11, a mutant of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera Sdu with low acid and neutral trehalase was found to accumulate over 18% (w/w) trehalose from starch in its cells. In this study, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (Tps1) was purified to homogeneity from this mutant, with a 30-fold increase in the specific enzyme activity, as compared to the concentrated cell-free extract, from initial cells. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme as determined by SDS-PAGE was 66 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were 6.6 and 37 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme was activated by Ca2+, K+ and Mg2+, with K+ showing the highest activation at 35 mM. On the other hand, Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Hg2+ and Co2+ inhibited the enzyme. The enzyme was also strongly inhibited by protease inhibitors such as iodoacetic acid, EDTA and PMSF. 相似文献

A new extracellular protease having a prospective application in the food industry was isolated from Bacillus sUbtilis NCIM 2711 by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation from the cell broth. It was purified using DEAE-Cellulose and CM-Sephadex C-50 ion-exchange chromatography. With casein as a substrate, the proteolytic activity of the purified protease was found to be optimal at pH 7.0 and temperature 55 degrees C with Km 1.06 mg/ml. The enzyme was stable over a pH range 6.5-8.0 at 30 degrees C for 1 hr in presence of CaCl2 x 2H2O. At 55 degrees C, the enzyme retained 60% activity up to 15 min in presence of CaCl2 x 2H2O. EDTA and o-phenanthroline (OP) completely inhibited the enzyme activity while DFP, PMSF and iodoacetamide were ineffective. The enzyme was completely inhibited by Hg2+ and partially by Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Fe2+. The OP inhibited enzyme could be reactivated by Zn2+ and Co2+ up to 75% and 69% respectively. It is a neutral metalloprotease showing a single band of 43 kDa on SDS-PAGE. 相似文献

1. Nuclei of regenerating rat liver washed with Triton X-100 were found to contain a new protease. Since the enzymatic activity for degrading ribosomal proteins was inhibited in vivo by administration of E-64, a thiol protease inhibitor, the enzyme may participate in the degradation of newly synthesized ribosomal proteins and histones in regenerating rat liver nuclei as reported previously by us [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 75, 525-531 (1077)]. The optimum pH was 5.5. 2. The enzyme was extracted from washed nuclei and partially purified by gel filtration through Sepharose 6B. Its molecular weight was about 40 000. A maximal activity of partially purified enzyme was observed in the presence of 1 mM EDTA and 2 mM dithiothreitol at pH 5.5 It was inhibited by thio reagents, E-64, leupeptin and hevy metal ions. The enzyme degraded ribosomal proteins endoproteolytically and degraded most proteins tested as substrates, although liver cell sap proteins and serum albumin were less degraded than ribosomal proteins and histones, alpha-N-Benzoylarginine-beta-naphthylamide and benzoylarginine amide were not hydrolyzed. 相似文献

A 53,000-Da esterase in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus semen is derived from phagocytic cells, not sperm 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Semen from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus contains sperm and a small volume (1%) of phagocytes, which often contain degraded sperm. A 53,000-Da esterase in the semen is inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate, but not by soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI). Differential centrifugation experiments now reveal that 70% of the esterase activity (formerly described as a sperm protease precursor; Levine and Walsh, 1980) is associated with the phagocytes, which sediment more rapidly than the sperm. The 53K esterase is also present in spawned ovaries and testes. However, as previously reported, the sperm do contain an STI-inhibitable protease as shown by the digestion of [14C]lysozyme. Intact sperm exhibit STI-inhibitable hydrolytic activity toward N-alpha-[3H]benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester [3H]BAEE), but crude homogenates do not until they are extracted at pH 2.5 and fractionated by ion exchange chromatography. Although not obtained in pure form, the protease activity appears to migrate with a molecular weight of 20,000 (gel filtration). The protease and the esterase differ markedly in acid stability. After preincubation at pH 2.5 the protease still hydrolyzes [3H]BAEE, while the esterase is irreversibly inactivated. This last observation may explain an earlier interpretation (A. E. Levine and K. A. Walsh, 1980, J. Biol. Chem. 255, 4814-4820) that the 53K enzyme dissociated at pH 2.5 into two unequal subunits, one of which was the active protease. Since it has been shown that the contaminating phagocytes contribute most of the esterase activity of the semen, the occurrence of even a small number of nonsperm cells cannot be ignored in future investigations of sperm enzymes. 相似文献

Cloning, expression, and characterization of 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase from Rhodopseudomonas palustris KUGB306 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The hemA gene encoding 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS) was cloned from the genomic DNA of photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris KUGB306. The deduced protein (ALAS) of this gene contained 409 amino acids. The hemA gene was subcloned into an expression vector pGEX-KG and the encoded protein was overexpressed as a fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in Escherichia coli BL21. The recombinant ALAS was purified and isolated free of the fusion partner (GST) by affinity purification on glutathione-Sepharose 4B resin and cleavage of the purified fusion protein by thrombin protease. The optimum pH and temperature of the recombinant ALAS was found to be at pH 7.5-8.0 and 35-40 degrees C, respectively. The Km value of the enzyme was 2.01 mM for glycine and 49.55 microM for succinyl-CoA. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Pb2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ at 1 mM, but slightly affected by Mg2+ and K+. The recombinant ALAS required pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor for catalysis. Removal of this cofactor led to complete loss of the activity. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy with the ALAS suggested the presence of an aldimine linkage between the enzyme and PLP. 相似文献

The pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) from Streptococcus lactis C10 had an obligatory requirement for both a monovalent cation and divalent cation. NH+4 and K+ activated the enzyme in a sigmoidal manner (nH =1.55) at similar concentrations, whereas Na+ and Li+ could only weakly activate the enzyme. Of eight divalent cations studied, only three (Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) activated the enzyme. The remaining five divalent cations (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Ni2+ and Ba2+) inhibited the Mg2+ activated enzyme to varying degrees. (Cu2+ completely inhibited activity at 0.1 mM while Ba2+, the least potent inhibitor, caused 50% inhibition at 3.2 mM). In the presence of 1 mM fructose 1,6-diphosphate (Fru-1,6-P2) the enzyme showed a different kinetic response to each of the three activating divalent cations. For Co2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+ the Hill interaction coefficients (nH) were 1.6, 1.7 and 2.3 respectively and the respective divalent cation concentrations required for 50% maximum activity were 0.9, 0.46 and 0.9 mM. Only with Mn2+ as the divalent cation was there significatn activity in the absence of Fru-1,6-P2. When Mn2+ replaced Mg2+, the Fru-1,6-P2 activation changed from sigmoidal (nH = 2.0) to hyperbolic (nH = 1.0) kinetics and the Fru-1,6-P2 concentration required for 50% maximum activity decreased from 0.35 to 0.015 mM. The cooperativity of phosphoenolpyruvate binding increased (nH 1.2 to 1.8) and the value of the phosphoenolpyruvate concentration giving half maximal velocity decreased (0.18 to 0.015 mM phosphoenolyruvate) when Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ in the presence of 1 mM Fru-1,6-P2. The kinetic response to ADP was not altered significantly when Mn2+ was substituted for Mg2+. The effects of pH on the binding of phosphoenolpyruvate and Fru-1,6-P2 were different depending on whether Mg2+ or Mn2+ was the divalent cation. 相似文献

A strain producing a potent protease was isolated from turban shell. The strain was identified as Bacillus sp. S17110 based on phylogenetic analysis. The enzyme was purified from culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. S17110 to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, SP-Sepharose, and DEAE-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography. Protease activity of the purified protein against casein was found to be stable at pH 7 to pH 10 and around 50 degrees . Approximately 70% of proteolytic activity of the enzyme was detected either in the presence of 100 mM SDS or Tween 20. The enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of Ca2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, but was inhibited by EDTA, indicating that it requires metal for its activity. The purified enzyme was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 75 kDa, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme was analyzed through peptide fingerprint mass spectra generated from matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and a BLAST search, and identified as immune inhibitor A (inhA) deduced from nucleotide sequence of B. cereus G9241. Since InhA was identified as protease that cleave antibacterial proteins found in insect, inhA-like protease purified from Bacillus sp. S17110 might be pathogenic to sea invertebrates. 相似文献

N-Acyl-D-glutamate amidohydrolase from Pseudomonas sp. strain 5f-1 was inducibly produced by D isomers of N-acetylglutamate, glutamate, aspartate, and asparagine. The enzyme has been purified to homogeneity by DEAE-cellulose, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, and chromatofocusing followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The enzyme was a monomer with molecular weight of 55,000. The enzyme activity was optimal at pH 6.5 to 7.5 and 45 degrees C. The isoelectric point and the pH stability were 8.8 and 9.0, respectively. N-Formyl, N-acetyl, N-butyryl, N-propionyl, N-chloroacetyl derivatives of D-glutamate and glycyl-D-glutamate were substrates for the enzyme. At pH 6.5 in 100 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer at 30 degrees C, a Km of 6.67 mM and a Vmax of 662 mumol/min/mg of protein for N-acetyl-D-glutamate were obtained. None of the metal ions stimulated the enzyme activity. Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ba2+ acted as stabilizers. Hg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, and EDTA were strongly inhibitory. 相似文献

The effect of pH on the hydrolysis of α-N-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and α-N-benzoyl-l-argininamide (BAA) by a proteolytic enzyme component purified from Ficus carica var. Kadota latex has been studied in detail over the pH range of 3 to 9.5. kcat (lim) values for the hydrolysis of BAEE and BAA were essentially identical (5.20 and 5.01 sec−1, respectively at 30°). kcat values for hydrolysis of BAEE and BAA were dependent on prototropic groups with apparent pK values of 4.24 and 8.53 and 4.10 and 8.59, respectively. kcat (lim) values for tht hydrolysis of BAEE and BAA were essentially identical (5.20 and groups of pK 4.33 and 8.60 and 4.55 and 8.51, respectively. Thus the pH optimum is 6.5 for both substrates. Km (app) values for BAEE and BAA were 3.32 × 10−2m and 6.03 × 10−2m respectively over the pH range of 3.9 to 8.0. These data are interpreted in terms of the involvement of a carboxyl and a sulfhydryl group in the active center of the enzyme. The data do not support the concept that deacylation of the acyl-enzyme is completely the rate controlling step in the hydrolyses. Rather, it appears that the magnitude of k2 and k3 are not greatly different. 相似文献

Glycyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester (GN), a diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester (DAN) analog, in the presence of cupric ions was found to partially quench the protein fluorescence of acid protease from Cladosporium sp. No. 45-2, and cupric ions were also found to quench the fluorescence. These quenchings were pH-dependent. GN alone did not quench the fluorescence of the enzyme. The interaction between the enzyme and GN in the presence of cupric ions was studied statically at pH 5.4 in terms of fluorescence change. The dissociation constant, Kd, of the enzyme-GN complex in the presence of a 20-fold molar excess of cupric ions (0.08 mM) determined by fluorescence titration at 30 degrees C (Kd = 1.86 mM) was in good agreement with that obtained for GN from kinetics of inhibition of DAN-induced inactivation in the presence of a 20-fold molar excess of cupric ions at 30 degrees C (KA = 1.94 mM) (Kanazawa, H. (1977) J. Biochem. 81, 1739-1744). At various concentrations of cupric ions, no change of Kd was found. These results suggest that cupric ions are attracted to a negatively charged carboxyl group responsible for the formation of the enzyme-GN complex. 相似文献

Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3532 was found to produce only intracellular alpha-glucosidase (alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.20). Maximum enzyme production was obtained in a medium containing 2% maltose as inducer at 37 degrees C and at an initial pH of 6.5. The enzyme was formed in the cytoplasm and accumulated as a large pool during the logarithmic growth phase. Enzyme production was strongly inhibited by 4 microM CuSO4, 40 microM CoCl2, and beef extract; MnSO4 and the presence of proteose peptone and yeast extract in the medium greatly enhanced enzyme production. A 16.6-fold purification of alpha-glucosidase was achieved by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme showed high specificity for maltose. The Km for alpha-p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside was 11.5 mM, and the Vmax for alpha-p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside hydrolysis was 12.99 mumol/min per mg of protein. The optimal pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 5.0 and 37 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Hg2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, urea, rose bengal, and 2-iodoacetamide, whereas Mn2+, Mg2+, L-cysteine, L-histidine, Tris, and EDTA stimulated enzyme activity. Transglucosylase activity was present in the partially purified enzyme, and isomaltose was the only glucosyltransferase product. Amylase activity in the purified preparation was relatively weak, and no isomaltase activity was detected. 相似文献
