Three beta-glycosidases, named betaGly1, betaGly2 and betaGly3, were isolated from midgut tissues of the sugar cane borer, Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The three enzymes have similar Mr (58,000; 61,000; 61,000), pI (7.5, 7.4, and 7.4) and optimum pH (6.7, 6.3, and 7.2) and were resolved by hydrophobic chromatography. The beta-glycosidases prefer beta-glucosides to beta-galactosides, have four subsites for glucose binding and hydrolyse glucose-glucose beta-1,3 linkages better than beta-1, 4- or beta-1,6 linkages. betaGly1 and 2 were completely purified, whereas betaGly3 was isolated with a contaminant peptide that has no activity upon beta-glycosides.By using competing substrates, it was shown that betaGly 1 and 3 have one active site, whereas betaGly2 has two, one hydrolyzing natural and the other synthetic substrates. betaGly2 is the only D. saccharalis beta-glycosidase that can efficiently hydrolyse prunasin, the glycoside remaining after glucose removal from the plant glycoside amygdalin and that liberates the cyanogenic mandelonitrile. As shown elsewhere, betaGly2 activity is reduced when D. saccharalis is reared in amygdalin containing diets. From the results, we propose that the physiological role of betaGly 1 and 3 is the digestion of oligo- and disaccharides derived from hemicelluloses and of betaGly2 is glycolipid hydrolysis.Free energy relationships showed that D. saccharalis betaGly3 and Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera) betaGly1 have active sites that bind similarly the transition states formed with different substrates. The same is also true for the active sites of D. saccharalis betaGly1 and T. molitor betaGly2. This suggests that active sites of similar enzymes are probably homologous, displaying nearly identical bonds between active site amino acids and substrate moieties. 相似文献

Two beta-glycosidases (M(r) 59k) were purified from midgut contents of larvae of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The two enzymes (betaGly1 and betaGly2) have identical kinetic properties, but differ in hydrophobicity. The two glycosidases were cloned and their sequences differ by only four amino acids. The T. molitor glycosidases are family 1 glycoside hydrolases and have the E379 (nucleophile) and E169 (proton donor) as catalytic amino acids based on sequence alignments. The enzymes share high homology and similarity with other insect, mammalian and plant beta-glycosidases. The two enzymes may hydrolyze several substrates, such as disaccharides, arylglucosides, natural occurring plant glucosides, alkylglucosides, oligocellodextrins and the polymer laminarin. The enzymes have only one catalytic site, as inferred from experiments of competition between substrates and sequence alignments. The observed inhibition by high concentrations of the plant glucoside amygdalin, used as substrate, is an artifact generated by transglucosylation. The active site of each purified beta-glycosidase has four subsites, of which subsites +1 and +2 bind glucose with more affinity. Subsite +2 has more affinity for hydrophobic groups, binding with increasing affinities: glucose, mandelonitrile and nitrophenyl moieties. Subsite +3 has more affinity for glucose than butylene moieties. The intrinsic catalytic constant calculated for hydrolysis of the glucose beta-1,4-glucosidic bond is 21.2 s(-1) x M(-1). The putative physiological role of these enzymes is the digestion of di- and oligosaccharides derived from hemicelluloses. 相似文献

Comparative studies with lipoidal inhibitors and alternative substrates were conducted to investigate the properties of the active site of human acid beta-glucosidase (D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.45) from normal placenta and spleens of Type 1 Ashkenazi Jewish Gaucher disease (AJGD) patients. With the normal enzyme, the inhibitory potencies of series of alkyl(Cn; n = 0-18)amines, alkyl beta-glucosides and alkyl-1-deoxynojirimycins were a biphasic function of increasing chain length: i.e., large decreases in Ki,app or IC50 were found only with n greater than 4 and limiting values were approached with n = 12-14. This biphasic function of alkyl chain length was observed in the presence or absence of detergents and/or negatively charged lipids. In the presence of Triton X-100 concentrations greater than the critical micellar concentration, the relative (to deoxynojirimycin) inhibitory potencies of the N-Cn-deoxynojirimycins (n greater than 4) were decreased about 3-5-fold, due to an energy requirement to extract the inhibitors from Triton X-100 micelles. The Ki,app or IC50 of N-hexylglucosylsphingosine was inversely related to the Triton X-100 concentration and was not affected by the presence of 'co-glucosidase'. The mutual exclusion of glucon, N-Cn-deoxynojirimycin and sphingosine derivatives from the normal enzyme suggested a shared region for binding in the active site. Increasing the fatty-acid acyl chain length of glucosyl ceramide from 1 to 24 carbons had minor effects on Km,app ( = Kis,app) (8-40 microM), but increased Vmax,app up to 13-fold. With the AJGD enzyme, the inhibitor and alternative substrate findings were similar to those with the normal enzyme, except that Kis,app(AJGD)/Kis,app(normal) = 4 to 11 for the Cn-glycons and sphingosine derivatives. These results indicated that (1) the Ki,app or Km,app values for amphiphilic inhibitors or substrates reflect a balance of binding energies for two hydrophobic subsites within the enzyme's active site and Triton X-100 micelles and (2) the abnormal properties of the AJGD enzyme result from an amino-acid alteration(s) within or near a hydrophilic region which is shared by the glycon-binding site and the two hydrophobic sites of the active site. 相似文献

Modified α-d-(1 → 4)-glucans containing a small proportion of 14C-labeled 2-deoxy-d-glucose or 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose were examined as substrates for porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA). Cyclomaltoheptaose containing single 2-deoxy-d-glucose residues, synthesized by incubation of 2-deoxyglucosylglycogen with cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase in the presence of Triton X-100, was hydrolyzed by PPA to produce 2-deoxy-d-glucose; two isomers of 2-deoxymaltose, and a mixture of modified maltotrioses. These results indicate that 2-deoxy-d-glucose may be productively bound at all five subsites of the PPA active site. Reaction kinetics and the distribution of products formed suggest, however, that productive binding of the modified residue does not occur readily at the point of catalytic attack (subsite 3) and that the preferred position of hydrolysis of modified substrates may be different from that of unmodified substrates. Results of PPA hydrolysis of glycogen containing [14C]-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose showed that a modified trisaccharide and a modified disaccharide were the smallest substituted products formed. Analysis of these products indicated that they did not contain modified residues at their reducing ends. Formation of the observed 2-amino-2-deoxy-maltooligosaccharides is consistent with a scheme where productive binding of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose is allowed at subsites 1, 2, 4, and 5, but not at subsite 3, the subsite at which hydrolysis occurs. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide alditols by pig intestinal sucrase/isomaltase and glucosidase/maltase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ability of purified pig intestinal sucrase/isomaltase (SI; EC 3.2.1.10/48) and glucosidase/maltase (GM; EC 3.2.1.20) to hydrolyze di- and oligosaccharides consisting of D-glucose and D-fructose residues and the corresponding alditols was studied. The products, after incubation, reflect different binding patterns at both catalytic sites of SI. The active site of the sucrase subunit cleaves alpha,beta-(1-->2) glycosidic bonds, and only two monomer units of the substrates bind with favorable affinity. Oligosaccharides and reduced oligosaccharides containing alpha-(1--6) and alpha-(1-->1) glycosidic bonds are hydrolyzed by isomaltase, and for the active site of this subunit more than two subsites were postulated. Moreover, different binding sites for various aglycons seem to exist for isomaltase. Oligosaccharide alcohols are cleaved at lower rates if the reduced sugar residue occupies the aglycon binding site. GM also hydrolyzes alpha-(1-->1) linkages, but at a lower rate. The enzyme has the ability to bind compounds containing residues other than D-glucose. There are indications for similarities between GM and the isomaltase subunit of SI in the binding mode of oligosaccharides. 相似文献

Effect of limited tryptic modification of a bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase on its catalytic activity 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase of Alcaligenes faecalis T1, which hydrolyzes both hydrophobic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and water-soluble oligomers of D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate, lost its hydrolyzing activity toward the hydrophobic substrate on mile trypsin treatment, but retained its activity toward water-soluble oligomers. The molecular mass of the trypsin-treated enzyme was 44 kDa, as estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, which was 6 kDa smaller than that of the native enzyme (50 kDa). The trypsin-treated enzyme seemed to be less hydrophobic than the native one, because it was rather weakly adsorbed to a hydrophobic butyl-Toyopearl column compared with the native enzyme, and showed no ability to bind to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), to which the native enzyme tightly bound. These results suggest that, in addition to a catalytic site, the enzyme has a hydrophobic site, which is not essential for the hydrolysis of water-soluble oligomers, but is necessary for the hydrolysis of hydrophobic substrates, and this hydrophobic site is removed from the enzyme by the action of trypsin. 相似文献

The isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding phospholipid-specific inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We report the cDNA cloning and characterization of a novel human inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase) that has substrate specificity unlike previously described members of this large gene family. All previously described members hydrolyze water soluble inositol phosphates. This enzyme hydrolyzes only lipid substrates, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The cDNA isolated comprises 3110 base pairs and predicts a protein product of 644 amino acids and M(r) = 70,023. We designate this 5-phosphatase as type IV. It is a highly basic protein (pI = 8.8) and has the greatest affinity toward phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate of known 5-phosphatases. The K(m) is 0.65 micrometer, 1/10 that of SHIP (5.95 micrometer), another 5-phosphatase that hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. The activity of 5-phosphatase type IV is sensitive to the presence of detergents in the in vitro assay. Thus the enzyme hydrolyzes lipid substrates in the absence of detergents or in the presence of n-octyl beta-glucopyranoside or Triton X-100, but not in the presence of cetyltriethylammonium bromide, the detergent that has been used in other studies of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Remarkably SHIP, a 5-phosphatase previously characterized as hydrolyzing only substrates with d-3 phosphates, also readily hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in the presence of n-octyl beta-glucopyranoside but not cetyltriethylammonium bromide. We used antibodies prepared against a peptide predicted by the cDNA to identify the 5-phosphatase type IV enzyme in human tissues and find that it is highly expressed in the brain as determined by Western blotting. We also performed Western blotting of mouse tissues and found high levels of expression in the brain, testes, and heart with lower levels of expression in other tissues. mRNA was detected in many tissues and cell lines as determined by Northern blotting. 相似文献

The published activation site sequences of bovine factors IX and X have been utilized to synthesize a number of peptides specifically designed respectively as substrates for bovine factors XIa and IXa beta. The substrates contain a fluorophore (2-aminobenzoyl group, Abz) and a quenching group (4-nitrobenzylamide, Nba) that are separated upon enzymatic hydrolysis with a resultant increase in fluorescence that was utilized to measure hydrolysis rates. Factor XIa cleaved all of the peptides bearing factor IX activation site sequences with Abz-Glu-Phe-Ser-Arg-Val-Val-Gly-Nba having the highest kcat/KM value. The kinetic behavior of factor XIa toward the synthetic peptide substrate indicates that it has a minimal extended substrate recognition site at least five residues long spanning S4 to S1' and has favorable interactions over seven subsites. The hexapeptide Abz-Glu-Phe-Ser-Arg-Val-Val-Nba was the most specific factor XIa substrate and was not hydrolyzed by factors IXa beta or Xa beta or thrombin. Factor IXa beta failed to hydrolyze any of the synthetic peptides bearing the activation site sequence of factor X. This enzyme slowly cleaved four hexa- and heptapeptide substrates with factor IX activation site sequences extending from P4 or P3 to P3'. Factor Xa beta poorly hydrolyzed all but one of the factor XIa substrates and failed to cleave any of the factor IXa beta substrates. Thrombin failed to hydrolyze any of the peptides examined while trypsin, as expected, was highly reactive and not very specific. Phospholipids had no effect on the reactivity of either factors IXa beta or Xa beta toward synthetic substrates. Both factor IXa beta and Xa beta cleaved the peptide substrates at similar rates to their natural substrates under comparable conditions. However the rates were substantially lower than optimum activation rates observed in the presence of Ca2+, phospholipids, and protein cofactors. In the future, it may be useful to investigate synthetic substrates that can bind to phospholipid vesicles in the same manner as the natural substrates for factors IXa beta and Xa beta. 相似文献

The mode of action of four Chrysosporium lucknowense C1 α-L-arabinohydrolases was determined to enable controlled and effective degradation of arabinan. The active site of endoarabinanase Abn1 has at least six subsites, of which the subsites -1 to +2 have to be occupied for hydrolysis. Abn1 was able to hydrolyze a branched arabinohexaose with a double substituted arabinose at subsite -2. The exo acting enzymes Abn2, Abn4 and Abf3 release arabinobiose (Abn2) and arabinose (Abn4 and Abf3) from the non-reducing end of reduced arabinose oligomers. Abn2 binds the two arabinose units only at the subsites -1 and -2. Abf3 prefers small oligomers over large oligomers. It is able to hydrolyze all linkages present in beet arabinan, including the linkages of double substituted residues. Abn4 is more active towards polymeric substrate and releases arabinose monomers from single substituted arabinose residues. Depending on the combination of the enzymes, the C1 arabinohydrolases can be used to effectively release branched arabinose oligomers and/or arabinose monomers. 相似文献

Activation and membrane binding of carboxypeptidase E 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is a carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme that is thought to be involved in the processing of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. Soluble and membrane-associated forms of CPE have been observed in purified secretory granules from various hormone-producing tissues. In this report, the influence of membrane association on CPE activity has been examined. A substantial amount of the membrane-associated CPE activity is solubilized upon extraction of bovine pituitary membranes with either 100 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.6) containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and 1 M NaCl, or by extraction with high pH buffers (pH greater than 8). These treatments also lead to a two- to threefold increase in CPE activity. CPE extracted from membranes with either NaCl/Triton X-100 or high pH buffers hydrolyzes the dansyl-Phe-Ala-Arg substrate with a lower Km than the membrane-associated CPE. The Vmax of CPE present in extracts and membrane fractions after the NaCl/Triton X-100 treatment is twofold higher than in untreated membranes. Treatment of membranes with high pH buffers does not affect the Vmax of CPE in the soluble and particulate fractions. Pretreatment of membranes with bromoacetyl-D-arginine, an active site-directed irreversible inhibitor of CPE, blocks the activation by NaCl/Triton X-100 treatment. Thus the increase in CPE activity upon extraction from membranes is probably not because of the conversion of an inactive form to an active one, but is the result of changes in the conformation of the enzyme that effect the catalytic activity. 相似文献

Mechanistic features of cholesterol esterase catalyzed hydrolysis of two thiophospholipids, rac-1-(hexanoylthio)-2-hexanoyl-3-glycerophosphorylcholine (6TPC) and rac-1-(decanoylthio)-2-decano-yl-3-glycerophosphorylcholine (10TPC), have been characterized. The hydrolysis of 10TPC that is contained in mixed micelles with Triton X-100 occurs strictly at the micellar interface, since the reaction rate is independent of the micelle concentration but depends hyperbolically on the mole fraction of the substrate in the micelles. This latter observation allows one to calculate the interfacial kinetic parameters V*max and K*m. The hydrolyses of 10TPC and p-nitrophenyl butyrate are similarly inhibited by the transition state analogue inhibitor phenyl-n-butylborinic acid, and therefore, physiological and nonphysiological substrates are processed at the same active site. The similarity of k*cat values for the acyl-similar substrates 10TPC and p-nitrophenyl decanoate indicates that the phospholipase A1 activity of cholesterol esterase is partially rate limited by turnover of a decanoyl-enzyme intermediate. Solvent isotope effects on V*max and V*max/K*m (which monitors acylation only) are approximately 2-3 and are consistent with transition states that are stabilized by general acid-base proton transfers. Proton inventories of V*max/K*m indicate that simultaneous proton transfers stabilize the acylation transition state, which requires a multifunctional acid-base machinery (perhaps a charge-relay system) in the cholesterol esterase active site. Similar results are obtained for the 6TPC reaction, both in the presence and absence of Triton X-100 micelles. 相似文献

Various esters and amides of benzoylarginine and of benzyloxycarbonylarginine were subjected to enzymic hydrolysis at pH 8.5 and 7.2 by soybean trypsin-like enzyme (STLE). The kcat values for the hydrolysis of esters and amides were essentially identical regardless of the kind of leaving group. These results suggest that the STLE-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester and amide substrates proceeds via an acylenzyme intermediate and that the deacylation step is rate-determining. Hydrolysis of various 4-methylcoumaryl-7-amides of varying chain length and amino acid sequence was carried out at pH 8.5. Analysis of kinetic parameters revealed that STLE does not exhibit any remarkable subsite requirement, but somewhat preferentially hydrolyzes shorter substrates. These observations are consistent with the fact that STLE does not hydrolyze protein substrates or oxidized insulin B chain but hydrolyzes oligopeptides (Nishikata, M. (1984) J. Biochem. 95, 1169-1177). It is possible that the active site of STLE is located at a deep position in the enzyme molecule. From the pH dependency of kcat/Km, the participation of a histidine residue in the catalytic process of STLE was suggested. 相似文献

RNase-S peptide as well as some related octa- and hexapeptides were found to be highly, reactive substrates of porcine elastase (e.g. Ala(4)-Lys-Phe: K(m) = 4500 M(-1), k(cat) = 32 sec(-1), C = 1.4 x 10(5) M(-1) sec(-1)). Comparison of the various peptides led to the conclusion that the active site of porcine elastase is composed of 6-7 subsites (c.f. [1]). Preliminary mapping shows that subsites S(2), S'(1) and S'(2) have hydrophobic character. Occupation of subsite S(4) by the substrate is important for efficient hydrolysis. Binding at this subsite was found to be stereospecific. 相似文献

Characterization of cuticle-degrading proteases produced by the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Two chymoelastases and three trypsinlike proteases were separated from culture filtrates of the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae. A chymoelastase (Pr1) (pI 10.3 Mr 25,000) and trypsin (Pr2) (pI 4.42, Mr 28,500) were purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation, isoelectric focusing, and affinity chromatography. Inhibition studies showed that both enzymes possessed essential serine and histidine residues in the active site. Pr1 shows greater activity than Pr2 or mammalian enzymes against locust cuticle and also possesses activity vs elastin. Pr1 shows a broad primary specificity toward amino acids with hydrophobic side groups in synthetic ester and amide substrates. The kinetic properties of Pr1 demonstrate a preference for extended peptide chains with the active site recognising at least five substrate residues. The S5 and S4 subsites show a preference for negatively charged succinyl and hydrophobic acetyl groups, respectively. The S3 and S2 subsites both discriminated in favor of alanine and against proline. Pr2 rapidly hydrolyzed casein and synthetic substrates containing arginine or lysine. It possessed little or no activity vs cuticle, elastin, or synthetic substrates for chymotrypsin and elastase. Specific active site inhibitors confirmed the similarities between Pr2 and trypsin. 相似文献

Plants lack aspartate-specific cell death proteases homologous to animal caspases. Instead, a subtilisin-like serine-dependent plant protease named phytaspase shown to be involved in the accomplishment of programmed death of plant cells is able to hydrolyze a number of peptide-based caspase substrates. Here, we determined the substrate specificity of rice (Oryza sativa) phytaspase by using the positional scanning substrate combinatorial library approach. Phytaspase was shown to display an absolute specificity of hydrolysis after an aspartic acid residue. The preceding amino acid residues, however, significantly influence the efficiency of hydrolysis. Efficient phytaspase substrates demonstrated a remarkable preference for an aromatic amino acid residue in the P3 position. The deduced optimum phytaspase recognition motif has the sequence IWLD and is strikingly hydrophobic. The established pattern was confirmed through synthesis and kinetic analysis of cleavage of a set of optimized peptide substrates. An amino acid motif similar to the phytaspase cleavage site is shared by the human gastrointestinal peptide hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin. In agreement with the established enzyme specificity, phytaspase was shown to hydrolyze gastrin-1 and cholecystokinin at the predicted sites in vitro, thus destroying the active moieties of the hormones. 相似文献

Acetylcholinesterase has been isolated from bovine erythrocyte membranes by affinity chromatography using a m-trimethylammonium ligand. The purified enzyme had hydrophobic properties by the criterion of phase partitioning into Triton X-114. The activity of the hydrophobic enzyme was seen as a slow-moving band in nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. After treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, another form of active enzyme was produced that migrated more rapidly toward the anode in these gels. This form of the enzyme partitioned into the aqueous phase in Triton X-114 phase separation experiments and was therefore hydrophilic. The hydrophobic form bound to concanavalin A in the absence of Triton X-100. As this binding was partially prevented by detergent, but not by alpha-methyl mannoside, D-glucose, or myo-inositol, it is in part hydrophobic. Erythrocyte cell membranes showed acetylcholinesterase activity present as a major form, which was hydrophobic by Triton X-114 phase separation and in nondenaturing gel electrophoresis moved at the same rate as the purified enzyme. In the membrane the enzyme was more thermostable than when purified in detergent. The hydrophobic enzyme isolated, therefore, represents a native form of the acetylcholinesterase present in the bovine erythrocyte cell membrane, but in isolation its stability becomes dependent on amphiphile concentration. Its hydrophobic properties and lectin binding are attributable to the association with the protein of a lipid with the characteristics of a phosphatidylinositol. 相似文献

Exonuclease activity associated with a multiprotein form of HeLa cell DNA polymerase alpha. Purification and properties of the exonuclease 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The DNase that is associated with a multiprotein form of HeLa cell DNA polymerase alpha (polymerase alpha 2) has two distinct exonuclease activities: the major activity initiates hydrolysis from the 3' terminus and the other from the 5' terminus of single-stranded DNA. The two exonuclease activities show identical rates of thermal inactivation and coincidental migration during chromatofocusing, glycerol gradient centrifugation, and nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the DNase. Moreover, the purified DNase shows a single protein band of Mr 69,000 following nondenaturing polyacrylamide and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 3'----5' exonuclease activity hydrolyzes only single-stranded DNA substrates and the products are 5' mononucleotides. This activity recognizes and excizes mismatched bases at the 3' terminus of double-stranded DNA substrates. The 3'----5' exonuclease does not hydrolyze 3' phosphoryl terminated single-stranded DNA substrates. The 5'----3' exonuclease activity also only hydrolyzes single-stranded DNA substrates. The rate of hydrolysis, however is only about 1/25th the rate of the 3'----5' exonuclease. This exonuclease activity requires a 5' single-stranded terminus in order to initiate hydrolysis and does not proceed into double-stranded regions. The products of hydrolysis by 5'----3' exonuclease are also 5' nucleoside monophosphates. 相似文献

Rice BGlu1 (Os3BGlu7) is a glycoside hydrolase family 1 β‐glucosidase that hydrolyzes cellooligosaccharides with increasing efficiency as the degree of polymerization (DP) increases from 2 to 6, indicating six subsites for glucosyl residue binding. Five subsites have been identified in X‐ray crystal structures of cellooligosaccharide complexes with its E176Q acid‐base and E386G nucleophile mutants. X‐ray crystal structures indicate that cellotetraose binds in a similar mode in BGlu1 E176Q and E386G, but in a different mode in the BGlu1 E386G/Y341A variant, in which glucosyl residue 4 (Glc4) interacts with Q187 instead of the eliminated phenolic group of Y341. Here, we found that the Q187A mutation has little effect on BGlu1 cellooligosaccharide hydrolysis activity or oligosaccharide binding in BGlu1 E176Q, and only slight effects on BGlu1 E386G glycosynthase activity. X‐ray crystal structures showed that cellotetraose binds in a different position in BGlu1 E176Q/Y341A, in which it interacts directly with R178 and W337, and the Q187A mutation had little effect on cellotetraose binding. Mutations of R178 and W337 to A had significant and nonadditive effects on oligosaccharide hydrolysis by BGlu1, pNPGlc cleavage and cellooligosaccharide inhibition of BGlu1 E176Q and BGlu1 E386G glycosynthase activity. Hydrolysis activity was partially rescued by Y341 for longer substrates, suggesting stacking of Glc4 on Y341 stabilizes binding of cellooligosaccharides in the optimal position for hydrolysis. This analysis indicates that complex interactions between active site cleft residues modulate substrate binding and hydrolysis. 相似文献

The sequence specificities of human fibroblast and neutrophil collagenases have been investigated by measuring the rate of hydrolysis of 60 synthetic oligopeptides covering the P4 through P'5 subsites of the substrate. The choice of peptides was patterned after both known cleavage sites in noncollagenous proteins and potential cleavage sites (those containing Gly-Ile-Ala, Gly-Leu-Ala, or Gly-Ile-Leu sequences) found in types I, II, III, and IV collagens. The initial rate of hydrolysis of the P1-P'1 bond of each peptide has been measured under first-order conditions ([SO] much less than KM), and kcat/KM values have been calculated from the initial rates. The amino acids in subsites P4 through P'4 all influence the hydrolysis rates for both collagenases. However, the effects of substitutions at each site are distinctive and are consistent with the view that human fibroblast and neutrophil collagenases are homologous but nonidentical enzymes. For peptides with unblocked NH2 and COOH termini, occupancy of subsites P3 through P'3 is necessary for rapid hydrolysis. Compared with the alpha 1(I) cleavage sequence, none of the substitutions investigated at subsites P3, P2, and P'4 produces markedly improved substrates. In contrast, many substitutions at subsites P1, P'1, and P'2 improve specificity. The preferences of both collagenases for alanine in subsite P1 and tryptophan or phenylalanine in subsite P'2, is noteworthy. Human neutrophil collagenase accommodates aromatic residues in subsite P'1 much better than human fibroblast collagenase. The subsite preferences observed for human fibroblast collagenase in these studies agree well with the residues found at cleavage sites in noncollagenous substrates. However, the sequence specificities of these collagenases cannot explain the failure of these enzymes to hydrolyze many potentially cleavable but apparently protected sites in intact collagens. This represents additional support for the notion that the local structure of collagen is important in determining the location of collagenase cleavage sites. 相似文献

The constitutive/inducible association of the T cell receptor (TCR) with isolated detergent-resistant, lipid raft-derived membranes has been studied in Jurkat T lymphocytes. Membranes resistant to 1% Triton X-100 contained virtually no CD3epsilon, part of the TCR complex, irrespective of cell stimulation. On the other hand, membranes resistant either to a lower Triton X-100 concentration (i.e. 0.2%) or to the less hydrophobic detergent Brij 58 (1%) contained (i) a low CD3epsilon amount (approximate 2.7% of total) in resting cells and (ii) a several times higher amount of the TCR component, after T cell stimulation with either antigen-presenting cells or with phytohemagglutinin. It appeared that CD3/TCR was constitutively associated with and recruited to a raft-derived membrane subset because (i) all three membrane preparations contained a similar amount of the raft marker tyrosine kinase Lck but no detectable amounts of the conventional membrane markers, CD45 phosphatase and transferrin receptor; (ii) a larger amount of particulate membranes were resistant to solubilization with 0.2% Triton X-100 and Brij 58 than to solubilization with 1% Triton X-100; and (iii) higher cholesterol levels were present in membranes resistant to either the lower Triton X-100 concentration or to Brij 58, as compared with those resistant to 1% Triton X-100. The recruitment of CD3 to the raft-derived membrane subset appeared (i) to occur independently of cell signaling events, such as protein-tyrosine phosphorylation and Ca(2+) mobilization/influx, and (ii) to be associated with clustering of plasma membrane rafts induced by multiple cross-linking of either TCR or the raft component, ganglioside GM(1). We suggest that during T cell stimulation a lateral reorganization of rafts into polarized larger domains can determine the recruitment of TCR into these domains, which favors a polarization of the signaling cascade. 相似文献
