The substrate specificity and the mode of action of the protease from Streptomyces cellulosae were investigated, using many kinds of peptides and proteins as substrates. The protease hydrolyzed peptides consisting of hydrophobic amino acids such as L-Phe-L-Leu-NH2, L-Pro-L-Phe-NH2, l-Leu-L-Met, L-Leu-L-Leu, Gly-L-Ile, L-Phe-L-Phe, L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-NH2, etc. The protease hydrolyzed zein best among the proteins tested, but weakly hydrolyzed gelatin, myoglobin, bovine serum albumin, γ-globulin, and collagen. The protease mainly hydrolyzed Ser12-Leu13, Leu13-Tyr14, and Tyr14-Gln15 bonds in the oxidized A-chain of insulin and at least the Leu15-Tyr16 bond in the oxidized B-chain of insulin. 相似文献

Effect of Feeding Bengal Gram (Cicer arietinum) at Different Protein Levels on Plasma Lipids of Rats
L-Amino acid ligase catalyzes the formation of an α-peptide bond from unprotected L-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner, and this enzyme is very useful in efficient peptide production. We performed enzyme purification to obtain a novel L-amino acid ligase from Bacillus subtilis NBRC3134, a microorganism producing peptide-antibiotic rhizocticin. Rhizocticins are dipeptide or tripeptide antibiotics and commonly possess L-arginyl-L-2-amino-5-phosphono-3-cis-pentenoic acid. The purification was carried out by detecting L-arginine hydroxamate synthesis activity, and a target enzyme was finally purified 1,280-fold with 0.8% yield. The corresponding gene was then cloned and designated rizA. rizA was 1,242 bp and coded for 413 amino acid residues. Recombinant RizA was prepared, and it was found that the recombinant RizA synthesized dipeptides whose N-terminus was L-arginine in an ATP-dependent manner. RizA had strict substrate specificity toward L-arginine as the N-terminal substrate; on the other hand, the substrate specificity at the C-terminus was relaxed. 相似文献

A carboxyl proteinase was purified from submerged-culture filtrate of a wood-deteriorating basidiomycete,Pycnoporus coccineus. The purified enzyme was found to be essentially homogeneous in disc gel electrophoresis tests at pH 9.4 and 2.3. The specificity
and mode of action ofP. coccineus carboxyl proteinase Ia were investigated with the oxidized B-chain of insulinP. coccineus carboxyl proteinase Ia hydrolyzed primarily three peptide bonds, Ala14-Leu15, Tyr16-Leu17, and Phe24-Phe25 bonds, in the oxidized B-chain of insulin. 相似文献

A new intracellular peptidase, which we call “d-peptidase S,” was purified from Nocardia orientalis IFO 12806 (ISP 5040). The purified enzyme was homogeneous on disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight and the isoelectric point were estimated to be 52,000 and 4.9, respectively. The optimum pH for the hydrolysis of d-leucyl-d-leucine was 8.0 to 8.1, and the optimum temperature was 36°C. The purified enzyme usually hydrolyzed the peptide bonds preceding the hydrophobic D-amino acids of dipeptides. Tri- and tetra-peptides extending to the amino terminus of such peptides were also hydrolyzed. Therefore, the enzyme is a carboxylpeptidase-like peptidase specific to d-amino acid peptides. The Km values for d-leucyl-d-leucine and l-leucyl-d-leucine were 0.21 × 10-3 and 0.44 × 10-3 m respectively. The activity was inhibited by several sulfhydryl reagents and two chelators, 8-hydroxyquinoline and o-phenanthroline. 相似文献

The acid-protease of Paecilomyces varioti Bainier TPR-220 can hydrolyze carbobenzoxy-l-glutamyl-l-tyrosine, which is the substrate for pepsin, the acid-protease of Aspegillus saitoi by Yoshida and of Asp. oryzae by Nunokawa, and the trypsinogenkinase by Nakanishi, and benzoyl-l-argininamide, which is the substrate for trypsin, papain, and above two acid-proteases, optimally at pH 3.5 and 5.5 at 45°C, respectively. The Michaelis constant and activation energy of the enzyme are 4.08 × 10-3m and 9.17 × 103 cal/mol for the former, and 6.58 × 10-3m and 6.86 × 103 cal/mol for the latter, respectively.Other substrates for papain, chymotrypsin, and various exopeptidases are hardly hydrolyzed by the enzyme. 相似文献

Some physical and chemical properties and substrate specificity were investigated of the neutral protease obtained from B. amylosacchariticus, a strain of saccharogenic α-amylase producing Bacillus subtilis. The molecular weight and sedimentation coefficient of the protease were estimated to be 33,800 and 3.02, respectively, by ultracentrifugal analyses, and alanine was identified as an amino-terminal amino acid of the enzyme by the Sanger’s method. The enzyme showed more broad specificity than the neutral protease of liquefying α-amylase-producing B. subtilis, when tested with synthetic peptides, and hippuryl-l-leucinamide was the best substrate among 42 compounds tested. On a long incubation, the enzyme hydrolyzed several proteins in a degree of 10 to 25% as peptide bond cleavage. 相似文献

An N-carbamyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolase was purified from cells of Escherichia coli in which the gene for N-carbamyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolase of Pseudomonas sp. strain NS671 was expressed. The purified enzyme was homogeneous by the criterion of SDS–polyacrvlamide gel electrophoresis. The results of gel filtration chromatography and SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggested that the enzyme was a dimeric protein with 45-kDa identical subunits. The enzyme required Mn2+ ion (above 1 mM) for the activity. The optimal pH and temperature were 7.5 and around 40°C, respectively, with N-carbamyl-L-methionine as the substrate. The enzyme activity was inhibited by ATP and was iost completely with p-chloromercuribenzoate (1 mM). The enzyme was strictly L-specific and showed a broad substrate specificity for N-carbamyl-L-α-amino acids. 相似文献

In order to clarify the substrate specificity of the α-L-mannosidase activity of naringinase (Sigma), the following disaccharides and phenol glycosides were freshly prepared: methyl 2-O-(α-L-mannopyranosyl)β-D-glucoside (1), methyl 3-O-(α-L-mannopyranosyl)-α-D-glucoside (2), methyl 4-O-(α-L-mannopyranosyl)-α-D-glucoside (3), methyl 5-O-(α-L-mannopyranosyl)-β-D-glucoside (4), methyl 6-O-(α-L-mannopyranosyl)-α-Dglucoside (5), 6-O-(α-L-mannpyranosyl)-D-galactose (6), p-nitrophenyl α-L-mannoside (7), and 4-methyl umbelliferone α-L-mannoside (8).These compounds, except for 3 and 5, were hydrolyzed with naringinase. 相似文献

Leucine dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.9] was purified to homogeneity from Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum ICR 2210. The enzyme consisted of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 34,000. Stepwise Edman degradation provided the N-terminal sequence of the first 24 amino acids, and carboxypeptidase Y digestion provided the C-terminal sequence of the last 2 amino acids. Although the enzyme catalyzed the reversible deamination of various branched-chain l-amino acids, l-valine was the best substrate for oxidative deamination at pH 10.9 and the saturated concentration. The enzyme, however, had higher reactivity for l-leucine, and the kcat/Km value for l-leucine was higher than that for l-valine. The enzyme required NAD+ as a natural coenzyme. The NAD+ analogs 3-acetylpyridine-NAD+ and deamino-NAD+ were much better coenzymes than NAD +. The enzyme activity was significantly reduced by sulfhydryl reagents and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. d-Enantiomers of the substrate amino acids competitively inhibited the oxidation of l-valine. 相似文献

A simple procedure is described to obtain D- and L-allothreonine (D- and L-aThr). A mixture of N-acetyl-D-allothreonine (Ac-D-aThr) and N-acetyl-L-threonine (Ac-L-Thr) was converted to a mixture of their ammonium salts and then treated with ethanol to precipitate ammonium N-acetyl-L-threoninate (Ac-L-Thr·NH3) as the less-soluble diastereoisomeric salt. After separating Ac-L-Thr·NH3 by filtration, Ac-D-aThr obtained from the filtrate was hydrolyzed in hydrochloric acid to give D-aThr of 80% de, recrystallized from water to give D-aThr of >99% de. L-aThr was obtained from a mixture of the ammonium salts of Ac-L-aThr and Ac-D-Thr in a similar manner. 相似文献

A crystalline alkaline protease was prepared from B. amylosacchariticus, which was isolated as a strain of saccharogenic α-amylase-producing Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme was most active at pH values between 10.3 and 10.7 towards casein and was stable at pH values from 6 to 11 on twenty hour incubation at 30°C. Calcium ions were effective to stabilize the enzyme especially at higher temperatures. The enzyme was markedly inactivated by DFP as well as protease inhibitor from potato and slightly by surface active agents, but not affected by sulfhydryl reagents and divalent metal ions except Hg++ .Hemoglobin was the best substrate for the enzyme and more than 20% of the peptide bonds were hydrolyzed. Of numerous synthetic peptides tested, only the two compounds, and , were found to be hydrolyzed. A cyclic peptide, gramicidin S, was split by the enzyme only at the peptide bond of -l-valyl-l-ornithyl-. Methyl n-butyrate and tributyrin were also good substrates for the alkaline protease obtained here. 相似文献

Cathepsins L and L-like (58 kDa) proteinase from mackerel were purified to electrophoretical homogeneity by Concanavalin A-Sepharose and Econo-Pac S chromatographies. The molecular weights of cathepsins L and L-like proteinase were 30,000 and 58,000, and the optimal pH for the hydrolysis of Z-Phe-Arg-MCA (benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-arginine-7-[4-methyl] coumarylamide) were 5.0 and 5.5, respectively. The stability of both purified proteinases at various pHs was low, when the pH was above 7.0. According to the substrate specificity analysis, these proteinases hydrolyzed Z-Phe-Arg-MCA and Z-Arg-Arg-MCA, but did not hydrolyze Z-Arg-MCA and L-Arg-MCA. The activities of these two proteinases were effectively activated by cysteine and dithiothreitol. Their thiol-dependent proteolytic activity against Z-Phe-Arg-MCA was strongly inhibited by E-64 (trans-epoxysuccinyl-L-leucylamido[4-guanidino]butane), antipain, chymostatin, iodoacetic acid, and leupeptin, but not inhibited by pepstatin or phenylmethane sulfonyl floride. The inactivation rate constants (KD) of cathepsins L and L-like proteinases at 50°C were 5.1 × 10?5 and 6.9 × 10?4 s?1, respectively. K+, Na+, Mg+, and Sr+ did not affect them, while Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+ inhibited the activity of the purified cathepsins L and L-like proteinase. 相似文献

Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp. xylosoxydans A-6 (Alcaligenes A-6) produced N-acyl-D-aspartate amidohydrolase (D-AAase) in the presence of N-acetyl-D-aspartate as an inducer. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 56 kDa and was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to be a monomer. The isoelectric point was 4.8. The enzyme had maximal activity at pH 7.5 to 8.0 and 50°C, and was stable at pH 8.0 and up to 45°C. N-Formyl (Km=12.5 mM), N-acetyl (Km=2.52 mM), N-propionyl (Km=0.194 mM), N-butyryl (Km=0.033 mM), and N-glycyl (Km =1.11 mM) derivatives of D-aspartate were hydrolyzed, but N-carbobenzoyl-D-aspartate, N-acetyl-L-aspartate, and N-acetyl-D-glutamate were not substrates. The enzyme was inhibited by both divalent cations (Hg2+, Ni2+, Cu2+) and thiol reagents (N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetic acid, dithiothreitol, and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid). The N-terminal amino acid sequence and amino acid composition were analyzed. 相似文献

Two novel genes (tsB, tsC) involved in the conversion of DL-2-amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (DL-ATC) to L-cysteine through S-carbamyl-L-cysteine (L-SCC) pathway were cloned from the genomic DNA library of Pseudomonas sp. TS1138. The recombinant proteins of these two genes were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, and their enzymatic activity assays were performed in vitro. It was found that the tsB gene encoded an L-ATC hydrolase, which catalyzed the conversion of L-ATC to L-SCC, while the tsC gene encoded an L-SCC amidohydrolase, which showed the catalytic ability to convert L-SCC to L-cysteine. These results suggest that tsB and tsC play important roles in the L-SCC pathway and L-cysteine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas sp. TS1138, and that they have potential applications in the industrial production of L-cysteine. 相似文献

Chemical structures of pectic substances degraded by protopectinase-C (PPase-C) were characterized to identify the releasing mechanism of pectin from sugar beet protopectin by the action of that enzyme. The substrate of PPase-C was a polysaccharide isolated from sugar beet pulp by extraction with NaOH and sequential digestions with rhamnogalacturonase (PPase-T), β-1,4-D-galactanase, and α-L-arabinofuranosidase. The structure of this polysaccharide was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), NMR analysis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and it was identified as α-1,5-L-arabinan. According to our results, arabinan chains seemed to be connected to rhamnogalacturonan through a chain of β-l,4-D-galactan. PPase-C hydrolyzed both linear α-1,5-L-arabinan and ramified L-arabinan in a random manner, producing L-arabinose. From these results, PPase-C could be classified as arabinan endo-1,5-α-L-arabinase [EC 3.2.1.99]. Moreover, PPase-C seemed to split the L-arabinan of the polysaccharides connecting the rhamnogalacturonan to the other constituents of the plant cell wall in sugar beet pulp, releasing water-soluble pectin. 相似文献

The substrate specificity of pig liver acid α-glucosidase was investigated. The enzyme showed a wide specificity on various substrates. The Km values for maltose, malto-triose, -tetraose, -pentaose, -hexaose and -heptaose, and maltodextrin (mean degree of polymerization, 13) were 6.7 mm, 4.4 mm, 5.9 mm, ll mm, 4.0 mm, 5.6 mm and 7.1 mm, respectively. The relative maximum velocities for maltooligosaccharides consisting of three or more glucose units were 82.6 to 92.3% of the maximum velocity for maltose. For disaccharides, the rates of hydrolysis decreased in the following order: maltose > nigerose > kojibiose > isomaltose. The acid α-glucosidase also hydrolyzed several α-glucans, such as glycogen, soluble starch, β-limit dextrin and amylopectin. The Km value for β-limit dextrin was the lowest of those for α-glucans.The nature of the active site catalyzing the hydrolyses of maltose and glycogen was investigated by kinetic methods. In experiments with mixed substrates, maltose and glycogen, the kinetic features agreed very closely with those theoretically predicted for a single active site catalyzing the hydrolyses of both substrates. Cations, Na+, K+ and Mg++, were about equally effective in the activation of the enzyme action on maltose and glycogen. The inhibitor constants of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) and turanose were nearly the same for maltase activity as those for glucoamylase activity. From these results, the enzyme was concluded to attack maltose and glycogen by a single active site mechanism. 相似文献

Unlabeled D- and L-alanine were racemized in deuterium oxide with an alanine racemase of Bacillus stearothermophilus at saturated concentration of substrate, and various p2H and temperature. Samples of the solution were taken at intervals, and all alanine isomers in the samples were transformed into a mixture of diastereomeric derivatives of methyl N-(–)-camphanylalaninate. Their ratio was measured on a GC-Mass, and the relative rate was calculated at the initial stage of the reaction. There was little difference in the decrease rate of the optical rotation between the enantiomers. Internal proton-transfer to the antipode was almost zero for either substrate. The α-hydrogen was abstracted 1.2–2.3 times faster from D-alanine than from L-alanine. D-Alanine gave an almost even mixture of deuterium labeled D- and L-alanine, while L-alanine gave a mixture of labeled D- and L-alanine at a ratio of 3:1. These results suggest the racemase builds two different bases in the active site. The base for D-alanine may be closer to the enzyme surface, and that for L-alanine inside. 相似文献

Seven optical active 2-benzylamino alcohols were synthesized by reduction of N-benzoyl derivatives of L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid and L-lysine and applied for the resolution of (±)-trans-chrysanthemic acid. d-trans-Chrys-anthemic acid was obtained by resolution via the salts of 2-benzylamino alcohols derived from L-valine and L-leucine, while (?)-trans-chrysanthemic acid was prepared through the salts of the amino alcohols derived from L-alanine and L-phenylalanine. 相似文献
