N-terminus amino acid analysis of purified corn (Zea mays) NADP malate dehydrogenase showed that the mature protein begins at serine-41 of the preprotein sequence and not threonine-58 as previously concluded; therefore, the transit peptide consists of 40 amino acids. The theoretical molecular weight of the mature subunit protein (392 amino acids) is 42,564, agreeing with an experimental value of about 43,000. The molecular weight of the native unactivated (dark form) and activated (light form) of NADP malate dehydrogenase, determined by analytical ultracentrifugation analysis, was about 84,000, indicating that both forms are dimers. However, conventional and high performance liquid chromatography gel filtration procedures indicated apparent molecular weights of about 110,000 to 120,000 for the unactivated native enzyme and about 143,000 to 150,000 for the active enzyme; in these cases, the molecular weight may be overestimated due to the effect of an unusual molecular conformation on the mobility of the enzyme. 相似文献

Chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex revealed that pyrazon dioxygenase from pyrazon-degrading bacteria consists of three different enzyme components. No component alone oxidizes the phenyl moiety of pyrazon, only when the three components are combined can oxidation be detected. Following electron paramagnetic resonance and ultraviolet measurements the protein nature of the three components was determined: component A1 (molecular weight about 180000,red-brown in colour) is an iron-sulphur protein. The existence of approximately two moles of iron and two moles of inorganic sulphur per mole of protein was demonstrated. This enzyme component was purified to homogeneity in disc electrophoresis. Component A2 is a yellow protein of a molecular weight of about 67000. FAD was shown to be the prosthetic group of this protein. Component B (molecular weight about 12000, brown in colour) is a protein of the ferredoxin type, which was purified to homogeneity, as demonstrated by disc electrophoresis. A hypothetical scheme for the cooperation of the three components is proposed: component A2 accepts as cosubstrate NADH and functions as a ferredoxin reductase. The ferredoxin, component B, has the function of an electron carrier. The conversion of the substrates is effected by component A1, the terminal dioxygenase. 相似文献

tRNA(adenine-1-)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.36) was isolated from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus strain HB8. The specific activity of the enzyme is about 50 000 and the yield of activity more than 20%. The method of isolation consists of five steps and is valid for isolation of mg quantities of the enzyme. The purified protein preparation is practically homogeneous in SDS-gel electrophoresis, the position of the protein band corresponds to a molecular weight of 25 000. By gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 the molecular weight of the native protein was found to be 70 000. These data allow to suggest a subunit structure of the enzyme. The enzyme is highly thermostable and is most active at 80 degrees C. The only activity of the enzyme is to methylate A58 in the T psi X loop of tRNA. 相似文献

Abstract: The enzyme 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37) has been isolated from an acetone powder of human subcortical white matter. The yield was about 11 mg from 28 g of powder and a specific activity of 213 unitdmg protein was obtained using 2',3'-cyclic CMP as the substrate. A major protein band of molecular weight approx. 96,000 was found by gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. However, two distinct protein bands of molecular weight 46,000 ± 1400 and 48,000 ± 1400 were observed when the protein sample was reduced with 10 mM-dithiothreitol and subjected to electrophoresis in more restrictive 12-15% polyacrylamide-SDS gels. This molecular weight is lower than that previously reported for the bovine enzyme. Antibodies against the purified human enzyme have been raised in New Zealand white rabbits. 相似文献

Extracellular phytase (E.C. 3.1.3.8) from Aspergillus ficuum NRRL 3135: purification and characterization 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Extracellular phytase from Aspergillus ficuum, a glycoprotein, was purified to homogeneity in 3 column chromatographic steps using ion exchange and chromatofocusing. Results of gel filtration chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated the approximate molecular weight of the native protein to be 85-100-KDa. On the basis of a molecular weight of 85-KDa, the molar extinction coefficient of the enzyme at 280 nm was estimated to be 1.2 X 10(4) M-1 cm-1. The isoelectric point of the enzyme, as deduced by chromatofocusing, was about 4.5. The purified enzyme is remarkably stable at 0 degree C. Thermal inactivation studies have shown that the enzyme retained 40% of its activity after being subjected to 68 degrees C for 10 minutes, and the enzyme exhibited a broad temperature optimum with maximum catalytic activity at 58 degrees C. The Km of the enzyme for phytate and p-nitrophenylphosphate is about 40 uM and 265 uM, respectively, with an estimated turnover number of the enzyme for phytate of 220 per sec. Enzymatic deglycosylation of phytase by Endoglycosidase H lowered the molecular weight of native enzyme from 85-100-KDa to about 76-KDa; the digested phytase still retained some carbohydrate as judged by positive periodic acid-Schiff reagent staining of the electrophoresed protein. Immunoblotting of the phytase with monoclonal antibody 7H10 raised against purified native enzyme recognized not only native but also partially deglycosylated protein. 相似文献

Thermostable dipeptidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus: its purification, characterization, and comparison with aminoacylase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dipeptidase (dipeptide hydrolase [EC 3.4.13.11]) has been purified to homogeneity and crystallized from the cell extract of Bacillus stearothermophilus IFO 12983. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 86,000, and is composed of two subunits identical in molecular weight (43,000). The enzyme contains 2 g atoms of zinc per mol of protein. A variety of dipeptides consisting of glycine or only L-amino acids serve as substrates of the enzyme; Km and Vmax values for L-valyl-L-alanine are 0.5 mM and 68.0 units/mg protein, respectively. The enzyme is significantly stable not only at high temperatures but also on treatment with protein denaturants such as urea and guanidine hydrochloride. The enzyme also catalyzes hydrolysis of several N-acylamino acids with Vmax values 3-30% of those for the hydrolysis of dipeptides. The thermostable dipeptidase shares various properties with bacterial aminoacylase [EC 3.5.1.14]: their subunit molecular weight, metal content and requirement, amino acid composition, and amino acid sequence in the N-terminal region are very similar. 相似文献

A procedure is described for the use of immunoadsorption chromatography of hydroxyindole O-methyltransferase (HIOMT). HIOMT was purified from bovine pineal extract by affinity chromatography on immunoglobulins (Ig)-Sepharose. The overall purification was about 45-fold; the yield was 84%. This enzyme constitutes about 2.0% of the soluble proteins in the pineal gland. The enzyme represented a single precipitin line on Ouchterlony double diffusion plate and immunoelectrophoresis. Ultracentrifugation analysis indicated the existence of molecular aggregates of enzyme and disc gel electrophoresis showed one main protein band and several minor bands. However sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel electrophoresis showed a single protein band with subunit molecular weight 38,000 demonstrating bovine pineal HIOMT to be polymer enzyme of a single subunit. The properties of the purified enzyme including disc gel electrophoretic pattern, the effect of pH, chemicals and substrates and immunological properties were identical with those of the crude enzyme. 相似文献

Dihydroorotase (DHOase) catalyzes the reversible cyclization of N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate (L-CA) to L-5,6-dihydroorotate (L-DHO), which is the third enzyme in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. The enzyme was purified from two parasitic protozoa, Crithidia fasciculata (about 16,000-fold) and Plasmodium berghei (about 790-fold). The C. fasciculata enzyme had a native molecular weight (Mr) of 42,000 +/- 5000, determined by gel filtration chromatography, and showed a single detectable protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with Mr 44,000 +/- 3000. The DHOase from P. berghei had a native molecular weight of 40,000 +/- 4000 and a subunit molecular weight on SDS-PAGE of 38,000 +/- 3000. The DHOase from both parasites, in contrast to the mammalian enzyme which resides on a trifunctional protein of the first two enzymes of the pathway, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase and aspartate transcarbamylase, is monomeric and has no oligomeric structure as studied by chemical cross-linking with dimethyl suberimidate. The rate of cyclization of L-CA by the C. fasciculata enzyme was relatively high at acidic pH, decreasing to a very low rate at alkaline pH. In contrast, the rate of ring cleavage of L-DHO was very low at acidic pH and increased to a higher rate at alkaline pH. These pH-activity profiles gave an intersection at pH 6.6. The Km and kcat for L-CA were 0.846 +/- 0.017 mM and 39.2 +/- 6.4 min-1, respectively; for L-DHO, they were 25.85 +/- 2.67 microM and 258.6 +/- 28.5 min-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The extracellular adenylate cyclase of Bordetella pertussis was partially purified and found to contain high- and low-molecular-weight species. The high-molecular-weight form had a variable molecular weight with a peak at about 700,000. The smaller species had a molecular weight of 60 to 70,000 as determined by gel filtration. The low-molecular-weight form could be derived from the high-molecular-weight species. The high-molecular-weight complex purified from the cellular supernatant was highly stimulated by calmodulin, while the low-molecular-weight enzyme was much less stimulated. Active enzyme could be recovered from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels at positions corresponding to molecular weights of about 50,000 and 65,000. Active low-molecular-weight enzyme recovered from SDS gels migrated with a molecular weight of about 50,000, which coincides with a coomassie blue-stained band. However, when both high- and low-molecular weight preparations were analyzed in 8 M urea isoelectrofocusing gels, the enzyme activity recovered did not comigrate with stained protein bands. The enzyme recovered from denaturing isoelectrofocusing or SDS gels was activated by calmodulin, indicating a direct interaction of calmodulin and enzyme. The high-molecular-weight form of the enzyme showed increasing activity with calmodulin concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 500 nM, while the low-molecular-weight form was fully activated by calmodulin at 20 nM. Adenylate cyclase on the surface of living cells was activated by calmodulin in a manner which resembled that found for the high-molecular-weight form. 相似文献

Presence of Active Hatching Enzyme in the Secretory Granule of Prehatching Medaka Embryos 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Secretory granules of hatching gland were isolated from a 0.3 M sucrose homogenate of whole medaka embryos at prehatching stage by differential centrifugation, followed by a Percoll density gradient centrifugation. The obtained preparation was almost free of melanosomes and composed exclusively of the secretory granules of hatching gland (hatching enzyme granules), as judged by morphological as well as enzymological criteria.
The aqueous extracts of the purified secretory granules showed a specific choriolytic activity as high as about 40 times that of a partially purified secretory granule preparation, P1,000 , and represented a single protein band with molecular weight of about 21,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was also revealed that a major component of the hatching enzyme preparation (P II–0.3 enzyme, 13) purified from the hatching liquid was identical with the 21,000 molecular weight band.
These results suggest that the hatching enzyme is present in the secretory granules of prehatching embryos in an active molecular form. 相似文献

Human plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150, chromatography on DEAE Sephacel, chromatofocusing with polybuffer, and gel filtration with Sephadex G-75. This isolation resulted in about 5,400-fold purification of the enzyme with a 32% yield in enzyme activity. The final preparation had a specific activity of about 28 units (mmoles NADPH oxidized) per milligram of protein. Determination of selenium on the purified enzyme revealed a content of 3.8 g atoms per mole GPx. Gel electrophoresis using SDS with standard proteins revealed a molecular weight of about 23,000 for the subunits, which would indicate a molecular weight of about 92,000 for the native enzyme. Amino acid analyses of the purified GPx indicated aspartate, glutamate, proline, glycine, alanine, and leucine as the predominant amino acids and cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, and histidine as the minor amino acids. 相似文献

Low molecular weight acid phosphatase/phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase is largely expressed in chick brain tissue during development. The enzyme was purified from brain extract prepared from 19-day-old chick embryos and from adult chickens using ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and two DEAE-Cellulose ion-exchange chromatography steps. The purified enzymes from embryo and adult chick brains show identical molecular weight values (about 18-20 kDa) and biochemical and structural properties such as substrate specificity, sensitivity to inhibitors, and number of free reactive sulphydryl groups. These data suggest that they are the same enzyme protein. Although the total acid phosphatase activity does not change appreciably during development, the activity associated with the low molecular weight acid phosphatase/phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase markedly increases after birth and reaches the adult values within the first week of life. Taken together, our results suggest an involvement of the low molecular weight acid phosphatase/phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase in postnatal development and maturation of chick brain tissue. The variations in tyrosine phosphorylation profile of chick brain polypeptides analyzed by Western blotting at the same developmental stages are also reported. 相似文献

Cation-sensitive neutral endopeptidase: isolation and specificity of the bovine pituitary enzyme 总被引:28,自引:9,他引:19
A highly purified preparation of a cation-sensitive neutral endopeptidase was obtained from bovine pituitaries. The enzyme constitutes almost 0.1% of the protein in bovine pituitary homogenates. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme showed a single protein band, and in gel filtration experiments on calibrated Sepharose 6B columns the enzyme eluted slightly ahead of thyroglobulin, suggesting an apparent molecular weight of about 700,000. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in SDS-containing buffers indicated the presence of three major components with molecular weights ranging from about 24,000 to 28,000. The enzyme hydrolyzes bonds between hydrophobic and small neutral amino acids in both model synthetic substrates and biologically active peptides such as substance P, LH-RH, and bradykinin. Peptide bonds in which the carbonyl group is contributed by a glutamyl or arginyl residue are also hydrolyzed, especially if they are preceded in the sequence by hydrophobic amino acids. Leupeptin exclusively inhibited enzymatic activity toward the arginine-containing substrates. This observation, together with the high molecular weight and broad specificity of the enzyme, raised the possibility that the isolated enzyme represents a proteolytic complex composed of units with distinctly different activities. Preliminary attempts to dissociate the enzyme into catalytic units of lower molecular weight were not successful and led to loss of activity. 相似文献

Human erythrocyte aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.1.3) was purified to apparent homogeneity. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of about 210,000 as determined by gel filtration, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of this enzyme yields a single protein and with a molecular weight of 51,500, suggesting that the native enzyme may be a tetramer. The enzyme has a relatively low Km for NAD (15 microM) and a high sensitivity to disulfiram. Disulfiram inhibits the enzyme activity rapidly and this inhibition is apparently of a non-competitive nature. In kinetic characteristic and sensitivity to disulfiram, erythrocyte aldehyde dehydrogenase closely resembles the cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase found in the liver of various species of mammalians. 相似文献

Four highly purified enzyme preparations, which belongs to the cathepsine A group in their substrate specificity, are isolated from the extract of a hen liver acetone powder. The preparations are designated as A1, A2, A3 and A4 according to their electrophoretic mobility. The A1 component is a protein with molecular weight of about 200 000, it degrades a synthetic substrate and, to a small degree, hemoglobin. This protein is suggested to be the fragment of a liver enzyme complex. The A2 component has molecular weight of about 70 000 and the highest activity. The A3 component has molecular weight 100 000 and the lowest activity. The A2 and A3 components are similar to cathepsine A from other tissues. THe A4 component is characterized by a high electrophoretic mobility, a resistance in neutral and weakly alkaline media and a low molecular weight (of about 60 000). Cu2+, Ag+ and diisopropylphosphofluoridate completely inhibited the activity of all the enzyme preparation studied. Tosyl-alpha-amino-phenylethyl-chloremethylketone inhibited the enzymes activity only by 50-70%. 相似文献

1. Cyclohexanone oxygenases from Norcardia globerula CL1 and Acinetobacter NCIB 9871 have been purified 12-fold and 35-fold respectively and each gives a single symmetrical sedimentation peak in the ultracentrifuge and a single protein band on 2.25 nm average pore radius polyacrylamide gels. 2. The enzyme from N. globerula has a molecular weight of 53000 while that from Acinetobacter has a molecular weight of about 59000. Each is a single polypeptide chain with one mole of bound FAD per mole of protein that does not dissociate during purification. Acidification of the Acinetobacter enzyme in the presence of (NH4)2SO4 releases the bound FAD and yields native apoenzyme from which the active holoenzyme can be reconstituted. The apparent dissociation constant for the FAD is 40 nM. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of a murine basement membrane collagen-degrading enzyme secreted by metastatic tumor cells 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
A type IV collagen-degrading enzyme activity secreted by a highly metastatic mouse tumor was purified by concanavalin A- and type IV collagen-agarose affinity chromatographies followed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-0.5 m. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme was 160,000 but about 70,000 when Triton X-100 was added to the column buffer. The purified enzyme protein was resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into two polypeptide chains of about 68,000 and 62,000 daltons. The enzyme activity could be increased by preincubation with trypsin and it is possible that the two chains represent latent and active enzyme forms. The enzyme activity was not reduced in the presence of dithiothreitol, it had a pH optimum of 7.6 and was inhibited by EDTA but not N-ethylmaleimide, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, or Trasylol. The inhibition with EDTA was reversible. The pro-alpha 1(IV) and pro-alpha 2(IV) chains of the type IV procollagen substrate were both degraded at a similar rate to form two pairs of degradation fragments corresponding in molecular weights to about 70 and 30% of the original size chains. The presence of Triton X-100 increased slightly the activity of the enzyme and diminished the reduction of its activity upon freezing, indicating that the enzyme is a hydrophobic protein. 相似文献

alpha-L-Fucosidase has been purified 12 000 fold from human placenta. The enzyme is a glycoprotein containing, by weight: 0.9% galactose; 1.9% mannose, 1.9% N-acetylglucosamine and 1.9% N-acetylneuraminic acid. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate separated proteins with molecular weights ot 55 000, 51 400 and 25 000. Resolution of the two larger protein bands varied with the gel system and these proteins may differ only in carbohydrate content. Gel filtration of te purified enzyme failed to separate the three proteins. Treatments with the cross-linking reagent dimethyl suberimidate prior to electrophoresis, resulted in a diminution of the original protein bands and the formation of oligomers with molecular weights of 80 000, 100 000, 130 000, and 144 000. These results suggest that the heavy (55 000 and 51 400) and light (25 000) proteins are structurally associated. The molecular weight of the native enzyme, measured by gel filtration, was dependent on the pH of the eluting buffer. At pH 5.0 or 6.0 a catalytically active peak was observed, with a molecular weight of 305 000. At pH 7.5 this peak was completely absent and the enzyme eluted as an asymmetrical peak with an apparent molecular weight of about 60 000. The reduction in apparent molecular weight at pH 7.5 was reversible by dialysis of isolated fractions at pH 6.0. In agreement with these findings the sedimentation coefficient was 8.5 S at pH 5.0 but only 3.6 S at pH 7.5. The results can be accounted for by the existence of a pH-dependent equilibrium between aggregated and dissociated forms of the enzyme or by pH-depedent conformational changes. 相似文献

Repressible nonspecific acid phosphatase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe was purified to apparent homogeneity, as ascertained from ultracentrifugal, electrophoretic, and chromatographic data. The native protein has a molecular weight of 383,000 as determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and 381,000 as determined by gel filtration. The native protein can be dissociated in the presence of 8 M urea-1% sodium dodecyl sulfate into sub-units possessing an approximate molecular weight of 104,000. Neutral sugars account for about 66% of the total molecular weight and contribute to the high solubility and some of the other physical properties of this enzyme. Purified enzyme preparations have a Km for 4-nitrophenyl phosphate of 0.17 mM and a broad substrate specificity, but do not show diesterase activity. Phosphate and sulfate are competitive inhibitors. The enzyme is inactivated at neutral and alkaline pH and at relatively low temperatures. Mannose and galactose was found as the main components of the carbohydrate moiety; glucosamine was present in lower amounts. The amino acid analysis revealed a high content of aspartate, threonine, and serine; no sulfhydryl group could be detected. Pi is released in stoichiometric amount (1 mol per enzyme monomer) on protein digestion. 相似文献

A highly active soluble peroxidase has been identified in the preputial gland of rats and characterized immunologically along with other soluble peroxidases of a number of rat tissues such as submaxillary gland, exorbital lacrimal gland and also of the uterine fluid of the estrogen treated rats. All these peroxidases have the native molecular weight around 73K as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. An antiserum raised against the pure bovine lactoperoxidase interacts with all these soluble peroxidases and immunoprecipitates the enzyme activity in a similar fashion when titrated against varied concentration of the antiserum. Following electrophoretic transfer to nitrocellulose by Western blotting, the antiserum crossreacts with the preputial, submaxillary and lacrimal gland protein of molecular weight around 73K and with the uterine fluid protein of molecular weight of 80K. An additional crossreacting protein of molecular weight of 80K is also evident in the lacrimal gland. All these enzyme preparations, however, contain another immunoreactive protein of molecular weight of about 64K. While 73–80K molecular weight interacting proteins may represent different forms of peroxidase, presumably with varied carbohydrate moieties, 64K molecular weight protein may be a precursor of the peroxidase which after posttranslational modification such as heme conjugation and glycosylation leads to formation of native enzyme. Rat harderian gland, unlike bovine origin, does not contain any detectable peroxidase activity. The immunoblot does not show the presence of any immunoreactive protein around 73K except the 64K molecular weight protein indicating that this gland can not synthesize the native peroxidase from this precursor probably due to some block in posttranslational modification. 相似文献
