Purification and characterization of glutamate decarboxylase from Neurospora crassa conidia. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
L-Glutamate decarboxylase, an enzyme under the control of the asexual developmental cycle of Neurospora crassa, was purified to homogeneity from conidia. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-Sephadex and cellulose phosphate column chromatography. The final preparation gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with a molecular weight of 33,200 +/- 200. A single band coincident with enzyme activity was found on native 7.5% polyacrylamide gels. The molecular weight of glutamate decarboxylase was 30,500 as determined by gel permeation column chromatography at pH 6.0. The enzyme had an acidic pH optimum and showed hyperbolic kinetics at pH 5.5 with a Km for glutamic acid of 2.2 mM and a Km for pyridoxal-5'-phosphate of 0.04 microM. 相似文献

alpha-D-Galactosidase was isolated from untoasted soybean meal and purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on N-epsilon-aminoacaproyl alpha-D-galactopyranosylamine-Sepharose. The purified enzyme destroyed the B-specificity of human ovarian cyst B-glycoprotein with an accompanying increase in H-specificity, and converted human type-B erythrocytes to type O. The enzyme consists primarily of a tetramer, molecular weight 150 000 +/- 5 000 at pH 4.0 and of a monomer, molecular weight 40 000 +/- 3 000 at pH 8.0. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in dodecyl sulfate at pH 7.2 distinguished between two types of monomeric unit of similar molecular weight. N-terminal alanine was identified as the sole N-terminal amino acid residue. The enzyme was shown to be devoid of carbohydrate. 相似文献

Prenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.1) has been purified to homogeneity from the supernatant fraction of yeast by ammonium sulfate fractionation, diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and hydroxylapatite chromatography, and column isoelectric focusing techniques. The active enzyme from isoelectric focusing columns emerged as a single symmetrical peak with specific activities 15- to 35-fold higher than previously reported preparations. The enzyme was found to be homogeneous by continuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.4 and discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 6.9 as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis at pH 7.0. By means of gel chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the protein was shown to be a dimer with a molecular weight of 84,000 plus or minus 10%. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 5.3. The enzyme synthesizes farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphates from dimethylallyl, geranyl, and farnesyl pyrophosphates. Michaelis constants for the enzyme were 4, 8, and 14 mu M for isopentenyl, dimethylallyl, and geranyl pyrophosphates, respectively. 相似文献

Prolyl endopeptidase [EC 3.4.21.26] was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of Agaricus bisporus by a procedure that comprised ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange chromatographies on DEAE-Toyopearl and DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a TSKgel G 2000 SW column. The overall activity recovery was 8.6%. The enzyme was most active at or around pH 7.5 and was stable in the range of pH 5-9 when checked with Z-Gly-Pro-beta-naphthylamide as a substrate. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was about 4.8. The enzyme was a monomeric protein of molecular weight 78,000 +/- 2,000 as judged by gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme hydrolyzed Pro-X bonds and at least five subsites (S3, S2, S1, S1', and S2') were found to be involved in enzyme-substrate binding. Among them, S2, S1, and S1' subsites of the enzyme showed high stereospecificity. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), Z-Gly-Pro-CH2Cl, Z-Pro-prolinal, Z-Pro-pyrrolidine, Z-Thiopro-pyrrolidine, Z-Pro-thiazolidine, Z-Thioprothiazolidine, and p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), while it was not inhibited by phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), E-64, iodoacetamide, or metal chelators. Although the A. bisporus enzyme showed no immunological cross reaction with anti-bovine prolyl endopeptidase antiserum, the other characteristics were quite similar to those of mammalian and plant enzymes. 相似文献

Purification and some properties of chlorogenic acid oxidase from apple (Malus pumila). 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chlorogenic acid oxidase was extensively purified to homogeneity from apple flesh (Malus pumila cv. Fuji). The enzyme was purified 470-fold, with a total yield close to 70% from the plastid fraction by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weight was determined to be 65,000 by both SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was around 4.0, and the enzyme was stable in the range of pH 6-8. The pI obtained by isoelectrofocusing was 5.4, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was N-Asp-Pro-Leu-Ala-Pro-Pro-. The reaction rate of the purified enzyme was much larger for chlorogenic acid than for other o-diphenols such as (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin and 4-methylcatechol, and the enzyme lacked both cresolase activity and p-diphenol oxidase activity. The Km value for the enzyme was found to be 122 microM toward chlorogenic acid. The purified enzyme had far less thermal stability than the enzyme of the plastid fraction. Diethyl-dithiocarbamate, sodium azide, o-phenanthroline and sodium fluoride markedly inhibited the enzyme activity. 相似文献

alpha-N-Acetylglucosaminidase was purified from human urine to a state of apparent homogeneity. alpha-N-Acetylglucosaminidase is a glycoprrotein with an extensive charge heterogeneity. The molecular weight determined by gel filtration is 307000. Polycarylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence and presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicates molecular weight heterogeneity of isocharged forms of the purified enzyme. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 4.5 +/- 0.3 and KM and V values of 0.14-0.74 mM, and 1.04-3.68 mumol mg-1 min-1 for three aryl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucosides and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. Heparan sulfate, heparin and dermatan sulfate are competitive inhibitors. The enzyme is inhibited by Hg2+ and Cu2+. --SH-protective reagents and thiol reagents have no effect on the enzyme activity. Heating at 65 degrees C and pH values below 5 inactivate the enzyme rapidly. 相似文献

Aldose reductase from calf lens was purified 15,000-fold. The homogeneity of the final preparation was demonstrated by molecular sieve chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, Ouchterlony immunodiffusion, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at three pH values. The monomeric nature of the enzyme is suggested by the molecular weight of 37,000 from both molecular sieve chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis with beta-mercaptoethanol. This closely corresponds with a molecular weight of 40,400 estimated by using calculate physical constants in the Svedberg equation. The S20,w was 3.6 to 3.7 as determined from ultracentrifuge and sucrose density gradient data. The Stokes radius was found to be 2.5 +/- 0.2 nm and 2.75 +/- 0.15 nm by two different methods. The diffusion constant D20,w is (7.8 +/- 10(-7) +/- 0.45 X 10(-7) cm2/s). The molecule is nearly spherical as indicated by a frictional ratio f/fo = 1.14. The alpha-helical content was estimated from circular dichroism data to be 5% and did not change in the presence of added substrates, products, and some enzyme inhibitors. Homotropic cooperative effects were observed as shown by the concave downward curvature of the reciprocal plots. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from bovine platelets 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C was purified to homogeneity from soluble fraction of bovine platelets by ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydrophobic chromatography, DEAE ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified enzyme has a narrow pH optimum ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 and the molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 143,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate slab gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme requires Ca2+ strictly for activity, which was markedly enhanced in the presence of arachidonate. No enhancement of the activity was observed in the presence of purified calmodulin. The activity was markedly inhibited in the presence of quinacrine but no inhibition by indomethacin was observed. 相似文献

Heparinase (EC 4.2.2.7) isolated from Flavobacterium heparinum was purified to homogeneity by a combination of hydroxylapatite chromatography, repeated gel filtration chromatography, and chromatofocusing. Homogeneity was established by the presence of a single band on both sodium dodecyl sulfate and acid-urea gel electrophoretic systems. Amino acid analysis shows that the enzyme contains relatively high amounts of lysine residues (9%) consistent with its cationic nature (pI 8.5) but contains only 4 cysteine residues/polypeptide. The molecular weight of heparinase was estimated to be 42,900 +/- 1,000 daltons by gel filtration and 42,700 +/- 1,200 daltons by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is very specific, acting only on heparin and heparan monosulfate out of 12 similar polysaccharide substrates tested. It has an activity maximum at pH 6.5 and 0.1 M NaCl and a stability maximum at pH 7.0 and 0.15 M NaCl. The Arrhenius activation energy was found to be 6.3 kcal/mol. However, the enzyme is very sensitive to thermal denaturation and loses activity very rapidly at temperatures over 40 degrees C. Kinetic studies of the heparinase reaction at 37 degrees C gave a Km of 8.04 X 10(-6) M and a Vm of 9.85 X 10(-5) M/min at a protein concentration of 0.5 microgram/ml. By adapting batch procedures of hydroxylapatite and QAE (quaternary aminoethyl)-Sephadex chromatography, gram quantities of heparinase that is nearly free of catalytic enzyme contaminants can be purified in 4-5 h. 相似文献

IMP dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.205), the rate-limiting enzyme of de novo GTP biosynthesis and a promising target for cancer chemotherapy, was purified 4860-fold to homogeneity from rat hepatoma 3924A by a method including affinity chromatography in which IMP is bound to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. This affinity gel provided a specific elution of the enzyme with 0.5 mM IMP. The final enzyme preparation gave a single band with a molecular weight of 60,000 +/- 1000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

L-Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD; EC 4.1.1.15) was purified to apparent homogeneity from the brain of the locust Schistocerca gregaria using a combination of chromatofocusing (Mono P) and gel filtration (Superose 12) media. The homogeneity of the enzyme preparation was established by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with silver staining. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated from native gradient gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography to be 97,000 +/- 4,000 and 93,000 +/- 5,000, respectively. When analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-PAGE, the enzyme was found to be composed of two distinct subunits of Mr 51,000 +/- 1,000 and 44,000 +/- 1,500. Tryptic peptide maps of iodinated preparations of these two subunits showed considerable homology, suggesting that the native enzyme is a dimer of closely related subunits. The purified enzyme had a pH optimum of 7.0-7.4 in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer and an apparent Km for glutamate of 5.0 mM. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by the carbonyl-trapping reagent aminooxyacetic acid with an I50 value of 0.2 microM. 相似文献

Human liver guanosine triphosphate (GTP) cyclohydrolase I has been purified more than 1,700-fold to what appears to be homogeneity. The active enzyme complex has an estimated molecular weight of 453,000 +/- 11,500 by gel filtration chromatography. It consists of a polypeptide of 149,000 +/- 4,000 mol wt by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The activity of the enzyme is heat stable and is inhibited by di- and trivalent cations. The enzyme has an optimum pH of 7.7 in sodium phosphate buffer. It uses GTP as a sole substrate, with a Km of 116 microM. 相似文献

Human epidermal transglutaminase. Preparation and properties. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A transglutaminase from human hair follicle-free epidermis was purified to homogeneity using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The enzyme had an apparent Mr = 51,000 +/- 2,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, 100,000 +/- 5,000 by discontinuous gel electrophoresis, and 50,000 +/- 2,000 by gel filtration in Bio-Gel A-0.5m agarose. The enzyme cross-linked Factor XIII-free fibrinogen forming gamma dimers and alpha polymers. Either calcium or strontium was necessary for enzyme activity. In the presence of calcium, enzyme activity was increased by heating at 56 degrees or by treating with dimethylsulfoxide. Activation required calcium and occurred in the presence of serine protease inhibitors. The activated and native enzyme had apparently identical mobilities in acrylamide disc electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. The Km values for two substrates in the reaction, casein and putrescine, were very similar for the native and the activated enzyme. The activated enzyme had a larger elution volume on Bio-Gel A-0.5m in the presence of calcium than did the native enzyme. The detailed mechanism of activation remains to be determined. 相似文献

delta-Aminolevulinic acid synthetase has been purified from liver mitochondria of young, uninduced rats. After nonionic detergent solubilization of mitochondrial inner membrane-matrix fractions, the enzyme was purified to a specific activity of approximately 2,000 nmol of delta-aminolevulinic acid formed/h/mg of protein at 30 degrees C, by means of ammonium sulfate precipitation, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, Sephacryl chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme preparation thus obtained was apparently homogeneous as judged by its migration as a single band with a molecular weight of 58,000 +/- 6,000 upon electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. The native enzyme probably exists as a dimer with a molecular weight of approximately 120,000. A pH optimum of 7.5 and an isoelectric point of 4.5 were also determined. Both monovalent cations and hemin strongly inhibited the activity of the purified enzyme. 相似文献

Cathepsin B from rat liver was purified to apparent homogeneity by cell-fractionation, freezing and thawing, acetone treatment, gel filtration, DEAE-Sephadex and CM-Sephadex column chromatography, and was crystallized. The purified enzyme formed spindle-shaped crystals and its homogeneity was proved by disc gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and by ultracentrifugal analysis. Its s20,w value was 2.8 S and its relative molecular mass was calculated to be 22,500 (+/- 900) by sedimentation equilibrium analysis. Crystalline cathepsin B was shown to consist of four isozymes with isoelectric points between pH 4.9 and 5.3, the main isozyme having an isoelectric point of pH 5.0. The enzyme was irreversibly inactivated by exposure to weak alkali. The pH optimum was 6.0 with alpha-N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-4-nitroanilide as substrate. Amino acid analysis showed that the enzyme contained hexosamine, glucosamine and galactosamine. Cathepsin B inactivated aldolase, glucokinase, apo-ornithine aminotransferase, and apo-cystathionase, but the rates of inactivation of glucokinase, apo-ornithine aminotransferase, and apocystathionase were lower than that of aldolase. Studies by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate showed that cathepsin B degraded apo-ornithine aminotransferase to two polypeptide chains differing in relative molecular mass and electrophoretic mobility. 相似文献

Ornithine transcarbamylase (EC 2.1.3.3) was purified to homogeneity from rat liver. The basis of the method is the chromatography of a high-speed supernatant fraction of a homogenized rat liver on an affinity column consisting of the transition-state analog of ornithine transcarbamylase, δ-N-(phosphonacetyl)-l-ornithine, immobilized on epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B through the α-amino group. The enzyme was eluted from the column using a gradient of the substrate, carbamyl phosphate, and further purified by gel filtration. The enzyme elutes with a constant specific activity of 250 to 260 μmol min?1 mg?1 at pH 8.5, 37°C, and is free of contaminating proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Determination of the molecular weight of the purified enzyme by centrifugation (98,000) and by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (35,300) indicates that the enzyme from rat liver is a trimer. The enzyme exhibits conventional Michaelis-Menten kinetics at pH 7.4 and in this respect differs from the enzyme prepared by other methods. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from rat brain 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
A soluble Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase has been purified from rat brain to near homogeneity by using casein as substrate. The enzyme was purified by using hydroxylapatite adsorption chromatography, phosphocellulose ion-exchange chromatography, Sepharose 6B gel filtration, affinity chromatography using calmodulin-Sepharose 4B, and ammonium sulfate precipitation. On sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDodSO4)-polyacrylamide gels, the purified enzyme consists of three protein bands: a single polypeptide of 51 000 daltons and a doublet of 60 000 daltons. Measurements of the Stokes radius by gel filtration (81.3 +/- 3.7 A) and the sedimentation coefficient by sucrose density sedimentation (13.7 +/- 0.7 S) were used to calculate a native molecular mass of 460 000 +/- 29 000 daltons. The kinase autophosphorylated both the 51 000-dalton polypeptide and the 60 000-dalton doublet, resulting in a decreased mobility in NaDodSO4 gels. Comparison of the phosphopeptides produced by partial proteolysis of autophosphorylated enzyme reveals substantial similarities between subunits. These patterns, however, suggest that the 51 000-dalton subunit is not a proteolytic fragment of the 60 000-dalton doublet. Purified Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent casein kinase activity was dependent upon Ca2+, calmodulin, and ATP X Mg2+ or ATP X Mn2+ when measured under saturating casein concentrations. Co2+, Mn2+, and La3+ could substitute for Ca2+ in the presence of Mg2+ and saturating calmodulin concentrations. In addition to casein, the purified enzyme displayed a broad substrate specificity which suggests that it may be a "general" protein kinase with the potential for mediating numerous processes in brain and possibly other tissues. 相似文献

1,4-beta-D-Glucan glucohydrolase (exo-1,4-beta-D-glucosidase) (EC 3.2.1.74) was isolated from growth supernatants of Torulopsis wickerhamii and was subjected to hydrodynamic, optical (CD), and kinetic analysis after purification to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, size exclusion chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and isopycnic banding centrifugation in cesium chloride. The last step was found to separate the enzyme from strongly associating, high molecular weight polysaccharide. Enzyme homogeneity was established by isoelectric focusing, sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis, and analytical high performance size exclusion chromatography using dual detection. The native exo-1,4-beta-D-glucosidase was found to be a dimer of 151,000 +/- 21,100 daltons by high performance size exclusion chromatography and 143,600 +/- 1,800 daltons by sedimentation equilibrium. The enzyme has a 12% linked carbohydrate content (mostly mannose) and no essential metal ions. Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside was found to be optimal at pH 4.25 and 50 degrees C. The enzyme was found to produce beta-D-glucose from cellodextrins (indicating retention of anomeric configuration during hydrolysis) and demonstrated depolymerization from the non-reducing polymer terminus. The enzyme followed competitive type inhibition with p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside as substrate and demonstrated high values of Ki for D-glucose and D-cellobiose inhibition (190 and 230 mM, respectively). The exo-1,4-beta-D-glucosidase was found to hydrolyze cellotetraose more rapidly than D-cellobiose and aryl-beta-D-glycosides more rapidly than all other substrates. Low levels of activity were found for the polymeric substrates beta-glucan (yeast cell walls), Avicel, and Walseth cellulose. Although this enzyme demonstrates broad disaccharide substrate specificity, a characteristic common to beta-D-glucosidases from many sources, the ability to hydrolyze higher cellodextrins more rapidly than cellobiose renders this enzyme the first exo-1,4-beta-D-glucosidase purified from yeast. 相似文献

A peptidyl glycine alpha-amidating activity has been isolated from total tissue extracts of rat medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Purification of the activity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephacryl S-300 chromatography, and strong anion-exchange chromatography at pH 6.0 has resolved at least four peaks of activity. The activity associated with peak III has been further purified to apparent homogeneity by strong anion-exchange chromatography at pH 8.0. The purified peak III enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 75,000 Da as measured by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The identity of the 75,000-Da band as the alpha-amidating enzyme has been confirmed by recovery of activity from a nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme is catalytically active as a monomer, exhibits a pH optimum between 5.0 and 5.5, and has a turnover number of 300 min-1 for N-dansyl-Tyr-Val-Gly amidation at pH 5.5. The larger size, more acidic pH optimum, and higher specific activity distinguish the purified peak III rat MTC enzyme from the enzymes isolated from bovine and porcine pituitary or from frog skin. 相似文献

Tyrosine hydroxylase purified to apparent homogeneity from the soluble fraction of bovine adrenal medulla had an apparent Mr of about 280,000 by Bio-Gel A-1.5m chromatography, and gave a single band with a Mr of 60,000 by sodium dodesyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is considered to be composed of four identical subunits. Isoelectric point of purified enzyme was pH 6.0. The amino acid composition of the enzyme was characterized by fairly high contents of glutamic acid and alanine residues. The N-terminal amino acid was determined to be glutamic acid. 相似文献
