Purification of chondroitinase B and chondroitinase C using glycosaminoglycan-bound AH-Sepharose 4B

Chondroitinase B and chondroitinase C were separated from an extract of Flavobacterium heparinum induced with chondroitin 6-sulfate by using column chromatography on hydroxylapatite. Chondroitinase C was eluted together with the activities of hyaluronidase, delta4,5glycosiduronase, and sulfatase. The latter two activities were eliminated exclusively by passing the crude chondroitinase C fraction through a phosphono-cellulose column pre-equilibrated with 0.07M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). Chondroitinase C was then purified by affinity chromatography using dermatan sulfate-bound AH-Sepharose 4B coated with the same glycosaminoglycan. Purification of the enzyme was achieved 18-fold and in 73% yield. On the other hand, the activities of delta4,5glycosiduronase and sulfatase were decreased to 50 and 60%, respectively, as compared with those in the crude chondroitinase B fraction, after passing the fraction through a column of phosphono-cellulose pre-equilibrated with 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The remaining activities of these two enzymes were then eliminated from chondroitinase B by affinity chromatography with heparin-bound AH-Sepharose 4B coated with dermatan sulfate. In the affinity chromatography used in the present study, non-covalent coating of the glycosaminoglycan-bound (covalently) AH-Sepharose 4B with the same or another glycosaminoglycan was found to be important.

Chondroitinase C from Flavobacterium heparinum.

A chondroitinase that acts upon chondroitin sulfate C and hyaluronic acid was isolated from Flavobacterium heparinum. This enzyme was seperated from constitutional chondroitinase AC and an induced chondroitinase B also present in extracts of F. heparinum previously grown in the presence of chondroitin sulfates A, B or C. The enzyme acts upon chondroitin sulfate C producing tetrasaccharide plus an unsaturated 6-sulfated disaccharide (delta Di-6S), and upon hyaluronic acid producing unsaturated nonsulfated disaccharide (delta Di-OS). Chondroitin sulfate A is also degraded producing oligosaccharides and delta Di-6S but not delta Di-4S. The chondroitinase C is also distinguished from the chondroitinases B and AC by several properties, such as effect of ions, temperature for optimal activity, and susceptibility to increasing salt concentrations. The substrate specificity of the chondroitinase C is different from that of any other chondroitinase or hyaluronidase described so far.     

Isolation and characterization of an induced chondroitinase ABC from Flavobacterium heparinum

During the investigation of alternative methods for the large scale preparation of chondroitinases AC, B and C from Flavobacterium heparinum, a new chondroitinase activity was observed. This new enzyme, like the other chondroitinases, acts as an eliminase, forming unsaturated sulfated disaccharides from dermatan and chondroitin sulfates. In contrast to the chondroitinases previously described, which are endoglycosidases, this chondroitinase ABC cleaves the glycosidic linkages in an exolytic fashion, beginning at the reducing end of the substrate molecules. The oligosaccharides formed as transient products by the action of either chondroitinases or testicular hyaluronidase upon dermatan and chondroitin sulfates are also rapidly degraded by the chondroitinase ABC, regardless of their size or the presence of delta-4,5 unsaturation in the terminal uronic acid residue. The maximum activity of the chondroitinase ABC occurs at 30 degrees C and at pH 6.0-7.5. Only 15% of the activity was observed at 37 degrees C, indicating that the enzyme is very sensitive to thermal denaturation. It is strongly inhibited by phosphate ions and is also inhibited by the unsaturated disaccharides formed.     

Isolation and characterization of an induced chondroitinase ABC from Flavobacterium heparium

During the investigation of alternative methods for the large sclae preparation of chondroitinases AC, B and C from Flavobacterium heparinum, a new chondroitinase activity was observed. This new enzyme, like the other chondroitinases, acts as an eliminase, forming unsaturated sulfated disaccharides from dermatan and chondroitin sulfates. In contrast tot he chondroitinases previously described, which are endoglycosidases, this chondroitinase ABC cleaves the glycosidic linkages in an exolytic fashiom, beginning at the reducing end of the substrate molecules. The oligosaccharides formed as transient products by the action of either chondroitinases or testicular hyaluronidase upon dermatan and chontroitin sulfates are also rapidly degraded by the chondroitinase ABC, regardless of their size or the presence of Δ-4,5 unsaturation in the terminal uronic acid residue. The maximum activity of the chondroitinase ABC occurs at 30°C and at pH 6.0–7.5. Only 15% of the activity was observed at 37°C, indicating that the enzyme is very sensitive to thermal denaturation. It is stronly inhibited by phosphate ions and is also inhibited by the unsaturated disaccharides formed.     

Mammalian-produced chondroitinase AC mitigates axon inhibition by chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are up-regulated following spinal cord injury and are partly responsible for failed regeneration. Experimental paradigms in vivo that degrade chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains with the bacterial enzyme, chondroitinase, greatly enhance the ability of axons to regenerate through the glial scar. Unfortunately, enthusiasm for this treatment paradigm is diminished by the lack of a minimally invasive and sustained delivery method. To address these deficits, we have engineered a Tet-On adenoviral vector encoding chondroitinase AC and have characterized its enzymatic function in vitro. U373 human astrocytoma cells were transduced with adenovirus and subsequently induced with doxycycline to secrete enzymatically active chondroitinase as detected by western blot and kinetic analyses. Enzymatic activity demonstrated biological relevance in studies where neurite outgrowth into and across CSPG-adsorbed regions pre-treated with conditioned media from chondroitinase secreting astrocytes was significantly increased compared with untreated controls (p < 0.0001). We also measured important parameters of enzyme activity including: pH, temperature, and enzyme stability that are fundamental to harnessing the true therapeutic potential of this approach. The use of resident cells for continuous secretion of CSPG-degrading enzymes at the site of the glial scar promises to be of greater clinical relevance than contemporary methods.     

Depolymerization of chondroitin C Sulfate by immobilized Proteus vulgaris cells

Chondroitinase ABC catalyzing the depolymerization of chondroitin sulfate was induced by incubating the Proteus vulgaris cells in a medium containing chondroitin C sulfate as an inducer. Incubation of P. vulgaris cells for 12 h in the presence of 0.3% inducer was optimal to obtain the cells with highly active chondroitinase ABC. Such cells were immobilized in k-carrageenan gel lattice, and some properties of chondroitinase ABC in immobilized cells were studied in comparison with those of the enzyme without immobilization (free enzyme). The stabilities of the enzyme toward heat and storage were remarkably improved by immobilizing the cells in k-carrageenan gel lattice. Optimal pH and temperature for activity of the enzyme were slightly shifted to the alkaline region and higher temperature by immobilization and were 9.0 and 35 degrees C, respectively.     

Baculovirus envelope protein ODV-E66 is a novel chondroitinase with distinct substrate specificity

Chondroitin sulfate is a linear polysaccharide of alternating D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residues with sulfate groups at various positions of the sugars. It interacts with and regulates cytokine and growth factor signal transduction, thus influencing development, organ morphogenesis, inflammation, and infection. We found chondroitinase activity in medium conditioned by baculovirus-infected insect cells and identified a novel chondroitinase. Sequence analysis revealed that the enzyme was a truncated form of occlusion-derived virus envelope protein 66 (ODV-E66) of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus. The enzyme was a novel chondroitin lyase with distinct substrate specificity. The enzyme was active over a wide range of pH (pH 4-9) and temperature (30-60 °C) and was unaffected by divalent metal ions. The ODV-E66 truncated protein digested chondroitin most efficiently followed by chondroitin 6-sulfate. It degraded hyaluronan to a minimal extent but did not degrade dermatan sulfate, heparin, and N-acetylheparosan. Further analysis using chemo-enzymatically synthesized substrates revealed that the enzyme specifically acted on glucuronate residues in non-sulfated and chondroitin 6-sulfate structures but not in chondroitin 4-sulfate structures. These results suggest that this chondroitinase is useful for detailed structural and compositional analysis of chondroitin sulfate, preparation of specific chondroitin oligosaccharides, and study of baculovirus infection mechanism.     

Crystallization and some properties of chondroitinase from Arthrobacter aurescens.

A strain of Arthrobacter aurescens which secretes a large amount of chondroitinase into a culture broth, was isolated from soil. The chondroitinase was purified 380-fold over culture broth in 24% yield and crystallized. Some properties of the purified enzyme were studied and described: thermal stability (below 45 degrees), pH stability (pH 4.9 to 7.4), optimum temperature (50 degrees), and optimum pH (pH 6.0). Chrondroitin sulfate A and C, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid were split by the enzyme but dermatan sulfate could not be. The initial rates of enzymic degradation of chondroitin sulfate C, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid were 1.1, 1.95, and 3.2, respectively, compared to that of chondroitin sulfate A. When the enzyme was allowed to act on chondroitin sulfate A and C, the reducing power and the ultraviolet absorption at 232 nm increased proportionally to the decrease in viscosity of the substrate solution. Finally these substrates were degraded to the extent of 100% to disaccharides. By the enzyme action the main products from chondroitin sulfate A and C were deta 4,5-unsaturated disaccharides, which were identified as 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(Beta-D-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-4-O-sulfo-D-galactose and 2-acet-amido-2-deoxy-3-O-(Beta-D-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid)-6-O-sulfo-D-galactose by paper chromatography, ultraviolet absorption spectroscophy, and infrared spectroscopy. Thus it is suggested that the chondroitinase is a chondroitin sulfate A and C lyase, one of the hyaluronate lyases (EC 4.2.99.1).     

Isolation of <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">Serratia marcescens</Emphasis> as a chondroitinase-producing bacterium and purification of a novel chondroitinase AC

A strain of Serratia marcescens that produced chondroitinase was isolated from soil. It produced a novel chondroitinase AC, which was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was composed of two identical subunits of 35 kDa as revealed by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The isoelectric point for the chondroitinase AC was 7.19. Its optimal activity was at pH 7.5 and 40 °C. The purified enzyme was active on chondroitin sulfates A and C and hyaluronic acid, but was not with chondroitin sulfate B (dermatan sulfate), heparin or heparan sulfate. The apparent K_m and V_max of the chondroitinase AC for chondroitin sulfate A were 0.4 mg ml^–1 and 85 mmol min^–1 mg^–1, respectively, and for chondroitin sulfate C, 0.5 mg ml^–1 and 103 mmol min^–1 mg^–1, respectively.
