A novel multienzyme complex from a newly isolated facultative anaerobic bacterium, Paenibacillus sp. TW1

A multienzyme complex from newly isolated Paenibacillus sp. TW1 was purified from pellet-bound enzyme preparations by elution with 0.25% sucrose and 1.0% triethylamine (TEA), ultrafiltration and Sephacryl S-400 gel filtration chromatography. The purified multienzyme complex showed a single protein band on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (native-PAGE). The high molecular mass of the purified multienzyme complex was approximately 1,950 kDa. The complex consisted of xylanase and cellulase activities as the major and minor enzyme subunits, respectively. The complex appeared as at least 18 protein bands on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and as 15 xylanases and 6 cellulases on zymograms. The purified multienzyme complex contained xylanase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase, carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), avicelase and cellobiohydrolase. The complex could effectively hydrolyze corn hulls, corncobs and sugarcane bagasse. These results indicate that the multienzyme complex that is produced by this bacterium is a large, novel xylanolytic-cellulolytic enzyme complex.

Purification and partial characterization of Oenococcus oeni exoprotease

The exoprotease from Oenococcus oeni produced in stress conditions was purified to homogeneity in two steps, a 14-fold increase of specific activity and a 44% recovery of proteinase activity. The molecular mass was estimated to be 33.1 kDa by gel filtration and 17 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). These results suggest that the enzyme is a dimer consisting of two identical subunits. Optimal conditions for activity on grape juice were 25 degrees C and a pH of 4.5. Incubation at 70 degrees C, 15 min, destroyed proteolytic activity. The SDS-PAGE profile shows that the enzyme was able to degrade the grape juice proteins at a significantly high rate. The activity at low pH and pepstatin A inhibition indicate that this enzyme is an aspartic protease. The protease activity increases at acidic pH suggesting that it could be involved in the wine elaboration.     

Purification, characterization, and molecular cloning of a thermostable superoxide dismutase from Thermoascus aurantiacus

A thermostable superoxide dismutase [(SOD) EC 1.15.1.1] from a Thermoascus aurantiacus var. levisporus was purified to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) homogeneity by a series of column chromatographies. The molecular mass of a single band of the enzyme was estimated to be 16.8 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The molecular mass was estimated to be 33.2 kDa by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-100, indicating that the enzyme was composed of two identical subunits of 16.8 kDa each. N-terminal amino acid sequencing (seven residues) yielded VKAVAVL. Using RACE-PCR, a Cu, Zn-SOD gene was cloned from T. aurantiacus var. levisporus. The sequence was 705 bp and contained a 468 bp ORF encoding a Cu, Zn-SOD of 155 amino acid residues.

Purification and characterization of a processing protease from rat liver mitochondria.

A processing protease has been purified from the matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria. The purified protease contained two protein subunits of 55 kd (P-55) and 52 kd (P-52) as determined by SDS-PAGE. The processing protease was estimated to be 105 kd in gel filtration, indicating that the two protein subunits form a heterodimeric complex. At high ionic conditions, the two subunits dissociated. The purified processing protease cleaved several mitochondrial protein precursors destined to different mitochondrial compartments, including adrenodoxin, malate dehydrogenase, P-450(SCC) and P-450(11 beta), but the processing efficiencies were different each other. The endoprotease nature of the processing protease was confirmed with the purified enzyme using adrenodoxin precursor as the substrate; both the mature form and the extension peptide were detected after the processing. The processing activity of the protease was inhibited by metal chelators, and reactivated by Mn2+, indicating that the protease is a metalloprotease.     

Localization and immunological characterization of the cellulolytic enzyme system in Clostridium thermocellum

Abstract The cellulolytic enzyme complex from Clostridium thermocellum JW 20 was purified from the cellulose to which the enzyme was bound during growth. After centrifugation and gel filtration the enzyme complex was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Three subunits with apparent molecular weights of 195 000 Da, 97 000 Da and 72 000 Da were purified by preparative SDS-PAGE and electroelution. Polyclonal antibodies directed against these three subunits were raised in rabbits. The specificity of the antisera was tested with immunochemical methods. Cross reactions with other subunits of the cellulase complex were observed. Immunoelectron microscopy of protein-A gold labeled, resin embedded cells indicated that the three types of subunits were located in the outer region of the cytoplasm and on structures at the outside of the cell wall.     

Purification and characterization of homogeneous sunflower seed acid phosphatase

Acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) from sunflower seed was purified 1800-fold to homogeneity using both conventional and affinity chromatographic methods. The purified enzyme was a mixture of two enzyme forms distinguishable by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Gel exclusion chromatography, which did not distinguish between the two forms, gave an apparent M, of 103 000. Preparative PAGE permitted the separation of the two forms, and SDS-PAGE showed that they contained equivalent peptide subunits of apparent M, 56 000 and 52 000. Amino acid analysis indicated that both enzyme forms have similar amino acid compositions. Data on substrate specificity and pH dependence is presented. The kinetic constants for hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate as catalysed by sunflower seed acid phosphatase were independent of pH in the range 3-5. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by inorganic phosphate and non-competitively inhibited by phosphomycin.     

Purification and properties of a fructose-1,6-diphosphate activated L-lactate dehydrogenase from Staphylococcus epidermidis.

L-(+)-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990 was purified by affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was specifically activated by fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP). The concentration of FDP required for 50% maximal activity was about 0.15 mM. The enzyme activity was inhibited by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and oxamate. The inhibition by ADP appeared to be competitive with respect to reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The catalytic activity of the LDH for pyruvate reduction exhibited an optimum at pH 5.6. The enzyme is composed of four, probably identical, subunits. Sephadex gel filtration and sedimentation velocity at pH 5.6 Yielded molecular weights of about 130 000 and 126 000, respectively. The molecular weight at pH 6.5 and 7.0 was found to be only about 68 000. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate and sedimentation velocity at pH 2.0 or 8.5 revealed monomeric subunits with an approximate molecular weight of 36000. The thermostability of the heat labile enzyme was increased in the presence of FDP, NADH and pyruvate. The purified LDH exhibited an anomalous type of kinetic behavior. Plots of initial velocity vs. different concentrations of pyruvate, NADH or FDP led to saturation curves with intermediary plateau regions. As a consequence of these plateau regions the Hill coefficient alternated between lower and higher n-values. Some distinguishing properties of the S. epidermidis LDH and other LDHs activated by FDP are discussed.     

Properties of acid phosphatase from scutella of germinating maize seeds

One acid phosphatase (optimum pH at 5.4) was purified from maize scutellum after 96 hr of germination. The purified enzyme was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with or without sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The enzyme has a MW of 65 000 ± 4000 as determined by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. The enzyme contained 16% neutral sugars, and cations are not required for activity. The purified enzyme was not inactivated by DTNB at pH 8. The hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate in the presence of 4 mM fluoride and 4 mm EDTA, at pH 6.7 (optimum pH), seems to be catalysed by this acid phosphatase.     

Purification and properties of ornithine carbamoyltransferase from loggerhead turtle liver

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase has been purified from the liver of the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta by a single-step procedure using chromatography on an affinity column to which the transition-state analogue, delta-N-(phosphonoacetyl)-L-ornithine (delta-PALO), was covalently bound. The procedure employed yielded an enzyme which was purified 373-fold and was judged to be homogeneous by nondenaturing and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme showed a specific activity of 224. The molar mass of the C. caretta enzyme was approximately 112 kDa, the single band obtained by SDS-PAGE indicated a subunit molar mass of 39.5 kDa; hence, the enzyme is a trimer of identical subunits. It catalyzes an ordered sequential mechanism in which carbamoyl phosphate binds first, followed by L-ornithine. The Michaelis constants were 0.858 mM for L-ornithine and 0.22 mM for carbamoyl phosphate, the dissociation constant of the enzyme-carbamoyl phosphate complex was 0.50 mM.

Purification and properties of cellobiose phosphorylase from Clostridium thermocellum

Cellobiose phosphorylase was purified 111-fold from a cell extract of Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405, with a yield of 31.4%, to electrophoretic and column chromatographic homogenity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 150,000 by gel filtration and 85,000 by SDS-PAGE, suggesting that it consisted of two identical subunits. It was suggested by spectrophotometric and chemical analyse that the enzyme contained no pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme was inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide and activated by dithiothreitol, indicating that the exposed thiol group(s) was important for the enzymatic activity. The enzyme could utilize, so far as examined, d-glucose, d-xylose, 2-deoxy-d-glucose, and d-mannose, as acceptors of glucose in the synthetic reaction of disaccharides. The enzyme could to a low degree utilize d-arabinose and d-fucose, as acceptors.     

Purification and characterization of aspartic proteinase from sunflower seeds

Aspartic proteinases were purified from sunflower seed extracts by affinity chromatography on a pepstatin A-EAH Sepharose column and by Mono Q column chromatography. The final preparation contained three purified fractions. SDS-PAGE showed that one of the fractions consisted of disulfide-bonded subunits (29 and 9 kDa), and the other two fractions contained noncovalently bound subunits (29 and 9 kDa). These purified enzymes showed optimum pH for hemoglobinolytic activity at pH 3.0 and were completely inhibited by pepstatin A like other typical aspartic proteinases. Sunflower enzymes showed more restricted specificity on oxidized insulin B chain and glucagon than other aspartic proteinases. The cDNA coding for an aspartic proteinase was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that the mature enzyme consisted of 440 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 47,559 Da. The difference between the molecular size of purified enzymes and of the mature enzyme was due to the fact that the purified enzymes were heterodimers formed by the proteolytic processing of the mature enzyme. The derived amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed 30-78% sequence identity with that of other aspartic proteinases.     

N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine:NADP+ oxidoreductase from Streptococcus lactis. Purification and partial characterization

N5-(L-1-Carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (EC 1.5.1.-) from Streptococcus lactis K1 has been purified 8,000-fold to homogeneity. The NADPH-dependent enzyme mediates the reductive condensation between pyruvic acid and the delta- or epsilon-amino groups of L-ornithine and L-lysine to form N5-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-ornithine and N6-(L-1-carboxyethyl)-L-lysine, respectively. The five-step purification procedure involves ion-exchange (DE52 and phosphocellulose P-11), gel filtration (Ultrogel AcA 44), and affinity chromatography (2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B). Approximately 100-200 micrograms of purified enzyme of specific activity 40 units/mg were obtained from 60 g of cells, wet weight. Anionic polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single enzymatically active protein band, whereas three species (pI 4.8-5.1) were detected by analytical electrofocusing. The purified enzyme is active over a broad pH range of 6.5-9.0 and is stable to heating at 50 degrees C for 10 min. Substrate Km values were determined to be: NADPH, 6.6 microM; pyruvate, 150 microM; ornithine, 3.3 mM; and lysine, 18.2 mM. The oxidoreductase has a relative molecular mass (Mr = 150,000) as estimated by high pressure liquid chromatography exclusion chromatography and by polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. Conventional gel filtration indicated an Mr = 78,000, and a single protein band of Mr = 38,000 was revealed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is composed of identical subunits of Mr = 38,000, which may associate to yield both dimeric and tetrameric forms. Polyclonal antibody to the purified protein inhibited enzyme activity. The amino acid composition of the enzyme is reported, and the sequence of the first 37 amino acids from the NH2 terminus has been determined by stepwise Edman degradation.
