Glutaminase free L-asparaginase is known to be an excellent anticancer agent. In the present study, the combined effect of
pH and temperature on the performance of purified novel L-asparaginase from Pectobacterium carotovorum MTCC 1428 was studied under assay conditions using response surface methodology (RSM). Deactivation studies and thermodynamic
parameters of this therapeutically important enzyme were also investigated. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified
L-asparaginase were found to be 8.49 and 39.3°C, respectively. The minimum deactivation rate constant (k
d
) and maximum half life (t
1/2) were found to be 0.041 min−1 and 16.9 h, respectively at pH of 8.6 and 40°C. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH, ΔS, and activation energies) were also evaluated for purified L-asparaginase. The probable mechanism of deactivation of purified
L-asparaginase was explained to an extent on the basis of deactivation studies and thermodynamic parameters. 相似文献

Aeromonas sp. from Lamellidens marginalis produced L-asparaginase when grown at 37 degrees C. The optimum enzyme activity was at pH 9 when temperature was 45 degrees C. Half-life of partially purified enzyme at 50 degrees C and 55 degrees C was 35 and 20 min, respectively. Activation and deactivation energies of partially purified enzyme were 17.48 and 24.86 kcal mol-1 respectively. The enzyme exhibited a Km (L-asparagine) value of 4.9 x 10(-6) mol l-1 and a Vmax of 9.803 IU ml-1. Three metal ions inhibited the enzyme activity at 10-20 mumol l-1 concentrations. Catalytic activity was also inhibited by EDTA, iodoacetic acid, parachloromercuribenzoic acid and phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride at 0.1 mumol l-1. 相似文献

We report the expression, purification, and characterization of L-asparaginase (AnsA) from Rhizobium etli. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity in a single-step procedure involving affinity chromatography, and the kinetic parameters K(m), V(max), and k(cat) for L-asparagine were determined. The enzymatic activity in the presence of a number of substrates and metal ions was investigated. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 47 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme showed a maximal activity at 50 degrees C, but the optimal temperature of activity was 37 degrees C. It also showed maximal and optimal activities at pH 9.0. The values of K(m), V(max), k(cat), and k(cat)/K(m) were 8.9 +/- 0.967 × 10?3 M, 128 +/- 2.8 U/mg protein, 106 +/- 2 s?1, and 1.2 +/- 0.105 × 10? M?1s?1, respectively. The L-asparaginase activity was reduced in the presence of Mn2?, Zn2?, Ca2?, and Mg2? metal ions for about 52% to 31%. In addition, we found that NH??, L-Asp, D-Asn, and beta-aspartyl-hydroxamate in the reaction buffer reduced the activity of the enzyme, whereas L-Gln did not modify its enzymatic activity. This is the first report on the expression and characterization of the L-asparaginase (AnsA) from R. etli. Phylogenetic analysis of asparaginases reveals an increasing group of known sequences of the Rhizobialtype asparaginase II family. 相似文献

An L-asparaginase producing mesophilic fungus Cylindrocarpon obtusisporum MB-10 was isolated from soil. The constitutive intracellular L-asparaginase from the organism was purified. The enzyme after 65-fold purification with an overall yield of 11% and specific activity of 100 unit.mg-1 seemed to be homogeneous in native, SDS-PAGE and thin layer isoelectric focusing gel. The apparent Mr of the enzyme was 216,000, and it constituted four identical subunits. The pI of the enzyme was 5.5. It was a conjugate protein with 37.3% (w/w) carbohydrate. The enzyme was stable to storage at -20 degrees C and to repeated freezing and thawing. The L-asparaginase from the organism was very much specific for L-asparagine and did not hydrolyze D-asparagine and L-glutamine. The pH and temperature optima for the enzyme activity were 7.4 and 37 degrees C, respectively. The Km of the L-asparaginase was found to be 1 x 10(-3)M. Metal ions, such as Zn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Hg2+ and Ni2+ potentially inhibited the enzyme activity, while metal chelators like EDTA, CN-, cysteine, etc., enhanced the activity indicating that the enzyme was not a metalloprotein. Its activity was also enhanced in the presence of reduced glutathione but not with dithiothreitol and 2-mercaptoethanol. Differential inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed with iodoacetamide and p-chloromercuribenzoate, thus indicating possible involvement of free-SH group in the enzyme catalysis. 相似文献

The combined effect of pH and temperature on chitinase was investigated using response surface methodology. A central composite design for two variables was employed. The optimal pH and temperature for the least degree of deactivation were found out to be 5.4 and 24°C respectively. The deactivation rate constants and the half life of chitinase were estimated at different pH and temperature combinations. At the optimal pH of 5.4, the rate of the deactivation was found to be the least. Thermodynamic parameters, viz., ΔH*, ΔS*, ΔG* and activation energy of thermal deactivation of chitinase were calculated in the temperature range from 50°C to 60°C. 相似文献

Nitrogen represents a critical nutrient in raised bogs. In Sphagna , dominating this habitat, the prevalent storage amino acid asparagine is catabolized predominantly by the enzyme L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1). L-asparaginase activity has been detected in each of 10 Sphagnum species investigated. In Sphagnum fallax Klinggr. (Klinggr. clone 1) cultivated under axenie conditions in continuous feed bioreactors, the enzyme displayed a light dependent increase in activity. We separated two isoforms, designated L-asparaginase 1 and 2, characterized by their different elution patterns from an anion-exchange column. In stem segments only L-asparaginase 2 could be detected, whereas in capitulae L-asparaginase 1 represented the dominating isoform. Purified chloroplasts displayed no L-asparaginase activity. Almost the entire activity was located in the cytosohc fraction. L-asparaginase 1 and 2 have been purified 82-fold and 188-fold, respectively, by ion-exchange, size-exclusion and hydrophobic interaction chrornatography. Identical pH optima (8.2) and molecular weights (126 000) were determined. The Km values for asparagine (7.4 m M for L-asparaginase 1 and 6.2 m M for L-asparaginase 2) were in the range of those described for higher plants. On the other hand Sphagnum L-asparaginase is comprised of four subunits as are the L-asparaginases of microorganisms. So, the characteristics of the bryophyte enzyme appear to be intermediate between those from higher plants and those from microorganisms. 相似文献

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation technology has been successfully applied to improve the performance of protein drugs. In this study, L-asparaginase was N-terminal site-specifically modified by alkylating PEG with monomethoxy polyethylene glycol-propionaldehyde (mPEG-ALD20000). The optimum reaction parameters were determined as pH 5.0, a molar ratio of mPEG-ALD2000 to L-asparaginase of 10:1, a reaction time of 16 h and temperature of 25 degrees C. PEG-L-asparaginase (PEG-L-ASNase) was isolated and purified with consecutive anion-exchange (XK, 16 x 20 cm, Q Sepharose FF) and gel-filtration (Tricorn, 10 x 600 cm, Sephacryl S-300 HR) chromatography, respectively. PEG-L-ASNase retained 43.5% of its activity and the N-terminal amino groups were modified to an extent of 3.67%. 相似文献

We report studies on an L-asparaginase from Pyrococcus furiosus, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Protein stability and enzyme kinetic parameters were determined. The enzyme was found to be
thermostable, natively dimeric, and glutaminase-free, with optimum activity at pH 9.0. It showed a K
m of 12 mM and a substrate inhibition profile above 20 mM L-asparagine. Urea could not induce unfolding and enzyme inactivation;
however, with guanidine hydrochloride (GdnCl) a two-state unfolding pattern was observed. Reduced activity and an altered
near-UV-CD signal for protein at low GdnCl concentration (1 M) suggested tertiary structural changes at the enzyme active
site. A homology three-dimensional model was developed and the structural information was combined with activity and stability
data to give functional clues about the asparaginase. 相似文献

AbstractSeveral soil isolates from 1 g of soil sample were isolated and screened for the production of L-asparaginase. Primary screening was performed using rapid plate assay; dye indicator studies were conducted, and phenol red with 0.005% concentration was found to be optimum. The secondary screening was carried out using the Nesslerization method. The bacteria screened for L-asparaginase production with no glutaminase activity was identified as Bacillus subtilis. Crude L-asparaginase enzyme was partially purified 1.57 folds of purity and 110 U/mg of specific activity. The glutaminase-free L-asparaginase activity was also confirmed using LC-MS analysis. The presence of mass peaks at 147.0 in the reaction mixture suggested an absence of glutaminase activity. An optimized medium obtained comprised of Dextrose 1.5 g/L, K2HPO4 1.2 g/L, L-asparagine 15 g/L, and Tryptone 5 g/L. The highest L-asparaginase activity was observed at 6.0 pH and 30 °C. Kinetic parameters associated with biomass and L-asparaginase production were also studied. The computed values were µm 0.104 h?1, Xm 6g/L P0 1.7U/mL Pm 8.2 U/mL YX/S 4 g-cell/g-glucose µPm 0.35 h?1 qp 5.46 U/g/h YP/x 13.6667 U/g-cell. The novel bacterial isolates showed promise as a potential glutaminase-free L-asparaginase producer, which can prove to be of industrial applications. 相似文献

L-Asparaginase shows antileukemic activity and is generally administered in the body in combination with other anticancer drugs like pyrimidine derivatives. In the present study, L-asparaginase was purified from a bacteria Erwinia carotovora and the effect of a dihydropyrimidine derivative (1-amino-6-methyl-4-phenyl-2-thioxo, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester) was studied on the kinetic parameters Km and Vmax of the enzyme using L-asparagine as substrate. The enzyme had optimum activity at pH 8.6 and temperature 35 degrees C, both in the absence and presence of pyrimidine derivative and substrate saturation concentration at 6 mg/ml. For the enzymatic reaction in the absence and presence (1 to 3 mg/ml) of dihydropyrimidine derivative, Km values were 7.14, 5.26, 4.0, and 5.22 M, and Vmax values were 0.05, 0.035, 0.027 and 0.021 mg/ml/min, respectively. The kinetic values suggested that activity of enzyme was enhanced in the presence of dihydropyrimidine derivative. 相似文献

L-Asparaginase is an antileukemic agent that depletes L-asparagine “an important nutrient for cancer cells” through the hydrolysis of L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia leading to leukemia cell starvation and apoptosis in susceptible leukemic cell populations. Moreover currently, bacterial L-asparaginase has been limited by problems of lower productivity, stability, selectivity and a number of toxicities along with the resistance towards bacterial L-asparaginase. Then the current work aimed to provide pure L-asparaginase with in-vitro efficacy against various human carcinomas without adverse effects related to current L-asparaginase formulations. Submerged fermentation (SMF) bioprocess was applied and improved to maximize L-asparaginase production from Fusarium equiseti AHMF4 as alternative sources of bacteria. The enzyme production in SMF was maximized to reach 40.78 U mL−1 at the 7th day of fermentation with initial pH 7.0, incubation temperature 30 °C, 1.0% glucose as carbon source, 0.2% asparagine as nitrogen source, 0.1% alanine as amino acid supplement and 0.1% KH2PO4. The purification of AHMF4 L-asparaginase yielded 2.67-fold purification and 48% recovery with final specific activity of 488.1 U mg−1 of protein. Purified L-asparaginase was characterized as serine protease enzyme with molecular weight of 45.7 kDa beside stability at neutral pH and between 20 and 40 °C. Interestingly, purified L-asparaginase showed promising DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 69.12 μg mL−1) and anti-proliferative activity against cervical epitheloid carcinoma (Hela), epidermoid larynx carcinoma (Hep-2), hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), Colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) with IC50 equal to 2.0, 5.0, 12.40, 8.26 and 22.8 μg mL−1, respectively. The enzyme showed higher activity, selectivity and anti-proliferative activity against cancerous cells along with tiny cytotoxicity toward normal cells (WI-38) which indicates that it has selective toxicity and it could be applied as a less toxic alternative to the current formulations. 相似文献

Different parts of plant species belonging to Solanaceae and Fabaceae families were screened for L-asparaginase enzyme (E.C.3.5.1.1.). Among 34 plant species screened for L-asparaginase enzyme, Withania somnifera L. Was identified as a potential source of the enzyme on the basis of high specific activity of the enzyme. The enzyme was purified and characterized from W. Somnifera, a popular medicinal plant in South East Asia and Southern Europe. Purification was carried out by a combination of protein precipitation with ammonium sulfate as well as Sephadex-gel filtration. The purified enzyme is a homodimer, with a molecular mass of 72±0.5 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresisand size exclusion chromatography. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 8.5 and an optimum temperature of 37℃. The Km value for the enzyme is 6.1×10-2 mmol/L. This is the first report for L-asparaginase from W. Somnifera, a traditionally used Indian medicinal plant. 相似文献

Bacterial L-asparaginases (E.C. 3.5.1.1) have been used as therapeutic agents in the treatment of acute childhood lymphoblastic leukaemia. L-asparaginase from Erwinia carotovora NCYC 1526 (ErA) was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by a two-step procedure comprising cation-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on immobilised L-asparagine. The enzymatic properties of the recombinant enzyme were investigated and the kinetic parameters (K(m), k(cat)) for a number of substrates were determined. Molecular modelling studies were also employed to create a model of ErA, based on the known structure of the Erwinia chrysanthemi enzyme. The molecular model was used to help interpret biochemical data concerning substrate specificity and catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The kinetic parameters of selected substrates were determined at various pH values, and the pH-dependence profiles of V(max) and V(max)/K(m) were analyzed. The pH-dependence of V(max) shows one transition in the acidic pH range with pK(a)=5.4, and the pH-dependence of V(max)/K(m) exhibits two transitions with pK(a)=5.4 and 8.5. Based on analysis of alternative substrates and molecular modelling studies, it was concluded that the pK(a) at the acidic pH range corresponds to the active site residues Asp115 or Glu82, whereas the pK(a) observed at the alkaline pH range is not due to substrate amino group ionisation, but rather is the result of enzyme ionisation. The effect of temperature and viscosity on the catalytic activity of the enzyme was also investigated and it was concluded that the rate-limiting step of the catalytic reaction is relevant to structural transitions of the protein. Thermodynamic analysis of the activity data showed that the activation energies are dependent on the substrate, and entropy changes appear to be the main determinant contributing to substrate specificity. 相似文献

Peroxidase (Ec 1.11.1.7) was purified from needles of Pinus pinaster to apparent homogeneity by DE-52 cellulose chromatography with a final recovery of enzyme activity of about 85%. The purified enzyme (A402/A275 = 1.05) had a specific activity of about 948 U/mg of protein and ran as a single protein band both on SDS-PAGE and native PAGE with Mr of 37,000 and 151,000, respectively. Both native PAGE and isoelectric focusing gels of the purified enzyme were stained for activity which coincided with the protein band. The pI of the purified enzyme was found to be 3.2 by isoelectric focusing on an ultrathin polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme has an optimum pH of activity of 5.0 and temperature optimum of 30 degrees C. Stability studies of the enzyme as a function of pH and temperature suggest that it is most stable at pH 5.0 and 0-40 degrees C, respectively. 相似文献

Actinobacteria are promising source of a wide range of important enzymes, some of which are produced in industrial scale, with others yet to be harnessed. L-Asparaginase is used as an antineoplastic agent. The present work deals with the production and optimization of L-asparaginase from Actinomycetales bacterium BkSoiiA using submerged fermentation in M9 medium. Production optimization resulted in a modified M9 medium with yeast extract and fructose as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, at pH 8.0, incubated for 120 hr at 30 ± 2°C. The crude enzyme was purified to near homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation following dialysis, ion-exchange column chromatography, and finally gel filtration. The sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) revealed an apparent molecular weight of 57 kD. The enzyme was purified 95.06-fold and showed a final specific activity of 204.37 U/mg with 3.49% yield. The purified enzyme showed maximum activity at a pH 10.0 and was stable at pH 7.0 to 9.0. The enzyme was activated by Mn2+ and strongly inhibited by Ba2+. All these preliminary characterization suggests that the L-asparaginase from the source may be a tool useful to pharmaceutical industries after further research. 相似文献

The ph optimum of purified staphylococcal L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) was found to be between 8.6 and 8.8. The temperature optimum was 30 degrees-32 degrees C and the highest reaction rate occurred at 30 degrees C. The KM of the enzyme calculated from Lineweaver-Burk plot was 3.71 x 10(-2) M. Besides L-asparaginase, the substrate specificity of enzyme was restricted to N-alpha-acetyl-L-asparagine. D-asparagine, L-aspartic acid and D-glutamic acid were competitive inhibitors. Hg2+ and Cu2+ cations strongly inhibited the enzyme while Na+ and K+ cations strongly stimulated activity. Two SH-groups could be detected after enzyme denaturation with guanidine. 相似文献

This study reports on the biochemical characterization as well as the kinetic and thermodynamic study of Aspergillus tamarii URM4634 β-fructofuranosidase (FFase) with transfructosylating activity. Conditions for FFase activity were optimized by means of a central composite rotational design using pH and temperature as the independent variables, while residual activity tests carried out in the temperature range of 45–65°C enabled us to investigate FFase thermostability and estimate the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of enzyme denaturation. Optimal conditions for sucrose hydrolysis and fructosyl transfer catalyzed by crude FFase were 50°C, and pH 6.0 and 7.4, respectively. The thermodynamic properties of irreversible enzyme inactivation were found to be activation energy of 293.1 kJ mol−1, and activation enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy in the ranges 290.3–290.4 kJ mol−1, 568.7–571.0 J mol−1 K−1, and 97.9–108.8 kJ mol−1, respectively. The results obtained in this study point out satisfactory enzyme activity and thermostability at temperatures commonly used for industrial fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) synthesis; therefore, this novel FFase appears to be a promising biocatalyst with great potential for long-term FOS synthesis and invert sugar production. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of an A. tamarii FFase. 相似文献

L-Asparaginase is an enzyme used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other related malignancies. Its further use includes reduction of asparagine concentration in food products, which may lead to formation of acrylamide. Currently bacterial asparaginase is produced at industrial scale, but the enzyme isolated from bacterial origin is often associated with adverse reactions. These side effects require development of asparaginase from alternative sources. In the present study, Penicillium digitatum was explored for the production of extracellular L-asparaginase using modified Czapek–Dox media. The enzyme was purified about 60.95-fold and then kinetic study showed that the Km value of the enzyme was 1 × 10?5 M. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme were 7.0 and 30°C, respectively. The optimum incubation period for L-asparaginase was 15 min. This work concludes that this enzyme can be a suitable candidate due to its strong kinetic properties, and further research can usher into development of asparaginase formulation from fungal origin with less adverse effects. 相似文献

Characterization of aspartate aminotransferase isoenzymes from leaves of Lupinus albus L. cv Estoril
Martins ML Mourato MP de Varennes e Mendonça AP 《Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology》2002,35(2):220-227
Two aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) isoenzymes (AAT-1 and AAT-2) from Lupinus albus L. cv Estoril were separated, purified, and characterized. The molecular weight, pI value, optimum pH, optimum temperature, and thermodynamic parameters for thermal inactivation of both isoenzymes were obtained. Studies of the kinetic mechanism, and the kinetics of product inhibition and high substrate concentration inhibition, were performed. The effect of some divalent ions and irreversible inhibitors on both AAT isoenzymes was also studied. Native PAGE showed a higher molecular weight for AAT-2 compared with AAT-1. AAT-1 appears to be more anionic than AAT- 2, which was suggested by the anion exchange chromatography. SDS-PAGE showed a similar sub-unit molecular weight for both isoenzymes. The optimum pH (between 8.0 and 9.0) and temperature (60-65 degrees C) were similar for both isoenzymes. In the temperature range of 45-65 degrees C, AAT-2 has higher thermostability than AAT-1. Both isoenzymes showed a high affinity for keto-acid substrates, as well as a higher affinity to aspartate than glutamate. Manganese ions induced an increase in both AAT isoenzymes activities, but no cooperative effect was detected. Among the inhibitors tested, hydroxylamine affected both isoenzymes activity by an irreversible inhibition mechanism. 相似文献

L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1), which catalyzes the deamidation of L-asparagine to L-aspartic acid and ammonia, has been widely used as a key therapeutic tool in the treatment of tumors. The current commercially available L-asparaginases, produced from bacteria, have signs of toxicity and hypersensitivity reactions during the course of tumor therapy. Therefore, searching for L-asparaginases with unique biochemical properties and fewer adverse effects was the objective of this work. In this study, cyanobacterial strain Synechococcus elongatus PCC6803 was found as a novel source of L-asparaginase. The L-asparaginase gene coding sequence (gi:939195038) was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), and the recombinant protein (Se.ASPII) was purified by affinity chromatography. The enzyme has high affinity towards Lasparagine and shows very weak affinity towards L-glutamine. The enzymatic properties of the recombinant enzyme were investigated, and the kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) were measured. The pH and temperature dependence profiles of the novel enzyme were analyzed. The work was extended to measure the antitumor properties of the novel enzyme against different human tumor cell lines. 相似文献
