Characterization of Proteinases Excreted by Bacillus subtilis Marburg Strain during Sporulation 总被引:12,自引:1,他引:11

S ummary . This study has characterized 3 proteolytic enzymes during sporulation by Bacillus subtilis Marburg strain when grown in nutrient broth. A method of purification is described which permits the separation of 2 different proteinases: one belonging to the metal enzyme group and the other to the serine enzyme group. The third enzyme, probably an esterase, showed a high esterolytic activity, but only low proteolytic activity. Determination of the 3 enzymes in a mixture was accomplished by using specific substrates and inhibitors. They were excreted simultaneously between the end of the growth phase until the appearance of the prespores. During this entire period, 20% of the total proteolytic activity was due to the metal proteinase; 80% of the proteolytic activity and 15% of the esterolytic activity was due to the serine proteinase; 85% of the esterolytic activity was the result of the esterase. These findings will contribute to a more complete phenotypic characterization of those mutants of sporulation that appear to be involved in the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. 相似文献

Proteolytic enzymes were characterized in the midgut and the excreta of the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L) with proteins, synthetic substrates, and inhibitors. Inhibition studies suggested trypsinlike activity in sugar-fed fly midguts, whereas excreta and blood-fed fly guts exhibited other proteases. Trypsinlike activity in midguts removed 20 and 30 h after a blood meal increased from 20% to 50% of the total proteolytic enzymes present. Trypsinlike activity was inhibited with human sera, trypsin-specific inhibitors, and a protein isolated from the stable fly thorax. When human albumin and globulin fractions were incubated with trypsinlike enzymes isolated from the midgut and excreta, the albumin fraction was less inhibitory than the globulin fractions and was readily hydrolyzed by the proteolytic enzymes. These results may indicate that the proteolytic enzymes produce an abortive complex with the globulin fractions of the sera. Such a complex may explain the temporary inhibition of proteolysis by the blood meal. Soybean trypsin inhibitor fed to stable flies caused 50% inhibition in proteolytic activity in the midguts of sugar-fed stable flies and 25% inhibition in the midguts of blood-fed stable flies. Complete inhibition of proteolytic enzyme activity was achieved only in vitro. pH profiles of proteolytic enzyme activity isolated from the excreta of blood-fed stable flies indicated that several proteolytic enzymes were excreted. 相似文献

It was found that Azospirillum brasilensis strain Sp7 is able to produce extracellular proteolytic enzymes. The enzymes were active within a broad range of pH values, with two peaks of activity being located in the acid and alkaline pH areas; required calcium ions; and exhibited substrate specificity with respect to azogelatin. Zymography allowed at least four proteolytic enzymes with molecular weights of 32, 45, 52, and 174 kDa to be detected in A. brasilense Sp7 culture liquid. It was shown that the lectin from A. brasilense Sp7 can inhibit proteolytic enzymes. 相似文献

A proteolytic activity hydrolyzing denatured proteins of Bacillus megaterium labelled with 35S or 14C amino acids was detected in cells of the asporogenic strain of Bacillus megaterium. The substrate is hydrolyzed by the enzyme or enzymes at optimum pH around 7, their activity being almost completely inhibited by EDTA and o-phenanthroline. PMSF, the inhibitor of serine proteases, is slightly inhibitory. Gel filtration on a Sephadex column separated the protease activity to two or three fractions. The protease activity in cells with the repressed synthesis of protease corresponds to 5-20 mug of substrate degraded per hour by 1 mg of protein at 37 degrees C. It increases five to ten-fold during the derepression. When the intracellular protease activity increases the extracellular enzyme begins to be excreted into the medium. The intracellular protease activity rapidly decreases after the addition of chloramphenicol or of a mixture of amino acids to the derepressed culture. Half or even more of the protease activity is released from the cells during their conversion to protoplasts by means of lysozyme. This "periplasmic" activity remains mostly in the supernatant also after mesosomes have been centrifuged down from the periplasm. A portion of the activity bound in protoplasts sediments together with membrane fraction after their lysis. 相似文献

The authors studied regularities attending the accumulation of proteolytic enzyme and toxin by C1. botulinum, type F, strains in the medium. Strains No. 470, 200, 76, 55 proved to possess caseinolytic capacity, whereas strains Eklund and Craig were "nonproteolytic". C1. botulinum strain, type F, medium and growing conditions providing a high yield of proteolytic enzymes were selected. Some properties of proteolytic enzyme of strain No. 470 were studied. 相似文献

Proteinases were excreted by strains of Bacillus subtilis during fermentation of African locust bean cotyledons. Those excreted by one strain were purified and characterized by ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography (IEC), gel filtration, inhibition tests and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Three proteinases and an esterase without proteolytic activity were identified. A serine proteinase which showed a high degree of hydrophobicity and a neutral proteinase were present. The third proteinase showed both proteolytic and esterolytic activities, and had multiple electrophoretic mobilities on polyacrylamide gel. 相似文献

Effects of various conditions of nitrogen and carbon nutrition on the biosynthesis of proteolytic enzymes in a selected culture of Aspergillus awamori 21/96 were studied. This strain was shown to produce proteolytic enzymes constitutively. In the presence of mineral sources of nitrogen, the synthesis of the enzymes under study was not induced by proteinaceous substrates. Optimum conditions of the enzyme biosynthesis were achieved with casein as a source of nitrogen and starch or dulcitol as a source of carbon (which increased the production of the enzymes 1.7 and 8 times, respectively). When the cells were grown on starch, their specific activity exceeded control levels 18 times. 相似文献

Randomly selected strains of Candida albicans were grown with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a single nitrogen source. From all strains tested, culture supernatant contained carboxyl proteinase (E.C.3.4.23) as has been shown that with hemoglobin as a substrate and by specific inhibition with pepstatin-A. According to the separation pattern of BSA fragments, secretory proteinases from C. albicans belong to at least three groups. We have purified the partially proteolytic enzyme of strain 113 and have compared its properties with those of the totally proteolytic enzyme of strain CBS 2730. Both enzymes have virtually identical molecular weight (ca. 44,000) and cross-react immunologically; they differ in pH optimum, isoelectric point, substrate specificity, and resistance against alkali. IgG1, which is the prevalent immunoglobulin of human serum, was not cleaved by enzyme 113. Immunoglobulins A1, A2 and secretory component were cleaved by both enzymes, which points to a role of the secretory proteinases in the persistence of yeasts on mucous membranes. Differences in the course of alkaline denaturation indicate that only a fraction of strain-specific proteinases is capable to convey long-range effects in the host. 相似文献

The enzyme activities specified by the tyrA and pheA genes were studied in wildtype strain Salmonella typhimurium and in phenylalanine and tyrosine auxotrophs. As in Aerobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli, the wild-type enzymes of Salmonella catalyze two consecutive reactions: chorismate --> prephenate --> 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate (tyrA), and chorismate --> prephenate --> phenylpyruvate (pheA). A group of tyrA mutants capable of interallelic complementation had altered enzymes which retained chorismate mutase T activity but lacked prephenate dehydrogenase. Similarly, pheA mutants (in which interallelic complementation does not occur) had one group with altered enzymes which retained chorismate mutase P but lacked prephenate dehydratase. Tyrosine and phenylalanine auxotrophs outside of these categories showed loss of both activities of their respective bifunctional enzyme. TyrA mutants which had mutase T were considerably derepressed in this activity by tyrosine starvation and consequently excreted prephenate. A new and specific procedure was developed for assaying prephenate dehydrogenase activity. 相似文献

Detergent extracts of three blue-green bacteria (Agmenellum quadruplicatum strain BG1, Anacystis nidulans strain TX20, and Nostoc sp. strain MAC) contained enzymes capable of lysing suspensions of Micrococcus lysodeikticus. The enzyme preparation from A. quadruplicatum released soluble reducing fragments from purified peptidoglycan. The lytic activity exhibited a pH optimum between 6 and 7, was relatively heat stable, and was susceptible to attack by proteolytic enzymes. These results extend the range of bacterial types exhibiting cell lytic activity as well as confirm the existence of the lytic system commonly observed in "water blooms". 相似文献

A highly proteolytic Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from the gills of fresh plaice and the effect of culture conditions on the production of proteolytic enzymes was investigated. When the organism, strain SA 1, was grown in the presence of complex mixtures of proteins and amino acids, both endopeptidase and aminopeptidase activity was demonstrated in the cell-free culture medium. However, synthesis of these enzymes was not observed when the organism was grown in a mineral medium with lactate or succinate as the only carbon and energy source. Synthesis of both endopeptidase and aminopeptidase was induced by the presence of amino acids in the medium. Of the amino acids tested, l-phenylalanine was found to be the best single inducer for the production of endopeptidase. When in addition one or more different amino acids were added, endopeptidase production was found to increase with increasing complexity of the mixture, up to a maximum which was obtained with five different amino acids. Production of the aminopeptidase was optimal when l-glutamic acid was used as a single inducer. For this enzyme the amount of enzyme activity released in the medium decreased with increasing complexity of the amino acid mixture. Endopeptidase as well as aminopeptidase activity was found to accumulate in the medium at the end of the logarithmic growth phase, when the culture was no longer growing exponentially. When the stationary phase was reached, enzyme production stopped. Production of both enzymes was immediately halted upon addition of chloramphenicol and was found to be repressed by glucose and lactate. These results suggest that synthesis of proteolytic extracellular enzymes by the organism studied is controlled by an efficient regulatory mechanism, in which growth rate is an important parameter. 相似文献

The fourth-day extract of a solid-state culture of the mesophilic Mucor sp. (M-105) strain showed a high milk-clotting activity and a clotting/proteolytic activity ratio similar to that of commercial preparations from microbial origin used in cheese manufacture. After ultrafiltration of the crude extract, the milk-clotting proteinase was purified in two steps: ion-exchange followed by size-exclusion chromatography. Enzyme homogeneity was assessed by HPLC, SDS-PAGE and N-terminal residue determination. A pI value of 4.21 was obtained and a molecular weight of 33 kDa was calculated from size-exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE data. The optimum pH for proteolytic activity towards dimethylcasein was in the 3.0-3.5 range. The proteinase retained 26 and 13% of its proteolytic activity after a 30-min incubation period, at pH 5.0 and 50 and 60 degrees C, respectively. This evidenced a lower heat stability than that of the thermophilic enzymes currently used in the cheese industry and also than that of bovine chymosin. The enzyme was fully inhibited by pepstatin A and no effect was observed with PMSF, p-CMPS or EDTA. The N-terminal amino acid sequence: GTGTVPVTDDGNLNEYYXTVTVGXP was compared with those from other fungal enzymes. 相似文献

The complex of enzymes elaborated by a strain of Streptomyces albus was separated by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. Two major and one minor proteolytic peaks and one streptolytic peak were obtained. The streptolytic fraction alone did not cause lysis of the cells, but was highly effective in the presence of small amounts of trypsin or of the proteolytic components of the enzyme complex. Treatment of cells with the purified streptolytic fraction effected release of group carbohydrate and of a trypsin and pepsin-resistant protein antigen which reacted with type-specific antisera. 相似文献

The effect of some inhibitors and bivalent metal cations (Mn2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Co2+ and Cu2+) on the proteolytic activity of two Bacillus mesentericus strains (strain 8 and strain 64 M-variant) was comparatively studied. The both enzymes were shown to be serine proteinases, but the proteinase of strain 64 was also a metal-dependent enzyme. Metal ions exerted no essential effect on the proteinase of strain 8. Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions stimulated the proteinase activity of strain 64 whereas Fe2+ and Zn2+ ions inhibited it in the case of three substrates. Therefore, the two proteinases are different. 相似文献

A pattern of allosteric control for aromatic biosynthesis in cyanobacteria relies upon early-pathway regulation as the major control point for the entire branched pathway. In Synechococcus sp. strain PCC6301 (Anacystis nidulans), two enzymes which form precursors for L-phenylalanine biosynthesis are subject to control by feedback inhibition. 3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (first pathway enzyme) is feedback inhibited by L-tyrosine, whereas prephenate dehydratase (enzyme step 9) is feedback inhibited by L-phenylalanine and allosterically activated by L-tyrosine. Mutants lacking feedback inhibition of prephenate dehydratase excreted relatively modest quantities of L-phenylalanine. In contrast, mutants deregulated in allosteric control of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase excreted large quantities of L-phenylalanine (in addition to even greater quantities of L-tyrosine). Clearly, in the latter mutants, the elevated levels of prephenate must overwhelm the inhibition of prephenate dehydratase by L-phenylalanine, an effect assisted by increased intracellular L-tyrosine, an allosteric activator. The results show that early-pathway flow regulated in vivo by 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase is the dominating influence upon metabolite flow-through to L-phenylalanine. L-Tyrosine biosynthesis exemplifies such early-pathway control even more simply, since 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase is the sole regulatory enzyme subject to end-product control by L-tyrosine. 相似文献

Characterization of alkaline proteases from a novel alkali-tolerant bacterium Bacillus patagoniensis

Summary The extracellular proteolytic activity produced by a moderately alkaliphilic bacterium, Bacillus patagoniensis PAT 05T, was characterized. This strain, grown in a highly alkaline and saline medium, produced important levels of proteolytic activity.
SDS-PAGE and zymogram analyses revealed two proteolytic active bands. Through isoelectricfocusing (IEF)-zymogram, an active
band with alkaline pI and two slighter active bands with acid pI values were detected. The alkaline active enzyme in the IEF
was purified and characterized. It showed a molecular mass of 29.4 kDa and its pI value was >‰10.3. Proteolytic activity of
the culture supernatant showed an optimal temperature of approximately 60 °C and a plateau of maximum activity between pH
9.0 and 12.0. Such activity was not affected by H2O2 (10% v/v), 1,10-phenanthroline (10 mM), Triton X-100 (1% v/v) and Tween 20 (1% v/v), under the assay conditions. More than
80% of the activity was retained in 10 mM EDTA, 73% in 1 % (w/v) SDS and 63% in 2 M NaCl. The enzyme was inhibited by PMSF,
indicating serine-protease activity. The proteolytic activity of the crude supernatant was thermosensitive with a half-life
of 2.3 min at 70 °C, while high activity was detected at moderate temperatures. Considering PAT 05T proteolytic activity characteristics, such as high optimum pH, high stability and residual activity in presence of oxidant,
surfactant and chelating agents, this strain could be a potential source of enzymes for use as additives in detergent formulations
or in the leather industry. 相似文献

Two well-characterized enzymes in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli are able to hydrolyze N-terminal aspartyl (Asp) dipeptides: peptidase B, a broad-specificity aminopeptidase, and peptidase E, an Asp-specific dipeptidase. A serovar Typhimurium strain lacking both of these enzymes, however, can still utilize most N-terminal Asp dipeptides as sources of amino acids, and extracts of such a strain contain additional enzymatic activities able to hydrolyze Asp dipeptides. Here we report two such activities from extracts of pepB pepE mutant strains of serovar Typhimurium identified by their ability to hydrolyze Asp-Leu. Although each of these activities hydrolyzes Asp-Leu at a measurable rate, the preferred substrates for both are N-terminal isoAsp peptides. One of the activities is a previously characterized isoAsp dipeptidase from E. coli, the product of the iadA gene. The other is the product of the serovar Typhimurium homolog of E. coli ybiK, a gene of previously unknown function. This gene product is a member of the N-terminal nucleophile structural family of amidohydrolases. Like most other members of this family, the mature enzyme is generated from a precursor protein by proteolytic cleavage and the active enzyme is a heterotetramer. Based on its ability to hydrolyze an N-terminal isoAsp tripeptide as well as isoAsp dipeptides, the enzyme appears to be an isoAsp aminopeptidase, and we propose that the gene encoding it be designated iaaA (isoAsp aminopeptidase). A strain lacking both IadA and IaaA in addition to peptidase B and peptidase E has been constructed. This strain utilizes Asp-Leu as a leucine source, and extracts of this strain contain at least one additional, as-yet-uncharacterized, peptidase able to cleave Asp dipeptides. 相似文献
