New cellulases from a strain of Penicillium echinulatum were characterized for their filter paper activity and β-glucosidase activity. Both activities showed maximum values between pH 4 and 5. With citrate buffer, activities were slightly higher than in acetate buffer of the same pH. Thermal stability of both activities was good up to 55°C. Filter paper activity was significantly reduced at higher temperatures.  相似文献

The protease activities in six edible mushrooms were surveyed using synthetic fluorogenic substrates that have different specificities for each protease group. The activity was determined by measuring the fluorogenic intensity of the 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) liberated by an enzyme. Various types of activities were found in all mushrooms, and their activities depended largely on the mushroom species, but also on the pH and localization. Flammulina velutipes and Pleurotus eryngii had the widest and highest proteolytic activities among the six mushrooms examined. The proteasome-like protease activities were generally much higher than those of other proteases. High caspase activities, which occur during apoptosis in cells, were detected in two mushrooms, F. velutipes and Hypsizigus marmoreus. The pH optima of the proteolytic activities were largely divided into two groups, acidic pH 5–6 for caspases and neutral to alkaline (pH 6.5–11) for the others. In F. velutipes, higher proteolytic activity was observed in the basement of the stem than in the cap and stem. Purification and characterization of protease were also carried out to identify a protease from Grifola frondosa using t-butyloxycarbonyl-Leu-Arg-Arg-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (Boc-LRR-MCA) as the substrate.  相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to develop and characterize the chitosan sponges loading with doxycycline hyclate and their antibacterial activities. The pore density of chitosan sponge prepared with freeze drying technique was increased as the higher concentrated chitosan solution was used. The sponge prepared from 10% w/w of the chitosan solution and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde solution was utilized for loading with doxycycline hyclate. The drug release and sustainable antibacterial activity of fabricated sponge were assessed using dissolution test and agar diffusion test, respectively. Drug release from non-crosslinked sponge into phosphate buffer pH7.4 was slower than that from crosslinked sponge since the former could absorb the medium and form gel to retard the initial drug diffusion. Sustainable antibacterial activity of developed sponge was evident against S. aureus and E. coli. In conclusion, the in vitro release profile and antibacterial efficiency indicated that doxycycline hyclate could be sustained using chitosan sponge.  相似文献

Maximum cellulase production was sought by comparing the activities of the cellulases produced by differentTrichoderma reesei strains andAspergillus niger. Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 showed higher cellulase activity than otherTrichoderma reesei strains andAspergillus niger that was isolated from soil. By optimizing the cultivation condition during shake flask culture, higher cellulase production could be achieved. The FP (filter paper) activity of 3.7 U/ml and CMCase (Carboxymethylcellulase) activity of 60 U/ml were obtained from shake flask culture. When it was grown in 2.5L fermentor, where pH and DO levels are controlled, the Enzyme activities were 133.35 U/ml (CMCase) and 11.67 U./ml (FP), respectively. Ammonium sulfate precipitation method was used to recover enzymes from fermentation broth. The dried cellulase powder showed 3074.9 U/g of CMCase activity and 166.7 U/g of FP activity with 83.5% CMCase recovery.  相似文献

Abstract

Several treatments were employed on Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) to improve its biocatalytic performance. Besides conventional alcohol treatment conditions, the effects of pH of the buffer solution used in the treatment as well as the changes in stirring, dialysis, and centrifugation steps of the treatment procedure were investigated for the first time for the resolution of racemic naproxen methyl ester. The highest enantioselectivity and conversion in S-naproxen production were achieved by CRL treated with pH 7.5 buffer solution. The elimination of the centrifugation step resulted in an increase in the enantioselectivity, whereas alcohol treatment of CRL was found to be inconvenient for S-naproxen production. Higher activity for p-nitrophenyl acetate was achieved when 20% butanol and pH 4 buffer solution were used, and when dialysis and stirring times were shortened.  相似文献

A rapid stepwise measurement for the activities of calpastatin and μ- and m-calpains was developed by using 2-stage elution at pH 8.5 and then 7.0. The activities of calpastatin, μ-calpain and m-calpain can be rapidly assayed following the separation on DEAE-Sephacel chromatography by a 2 stage elution with 90 mM NaCl (pH 8.5), and then by 200 and 300 mM NaCl in elution buffer (pH 7.0). No significant differences in the recovery of these proteinases and inhibitor was observed between stepwise gradient and linear gradient methods.  相似文献

The aim of the investigation was to obtain large amounts of the bacteriolytic enzymes of Myxococcus virescens and to separate these enzymes from the non-bactcriolytic protemases produced by this organism. The bacteria were grown in Casitone broth. When the bacteriolytic activity had reached its maximal value, the cells were removed from the culture medium by centrifugation. Polyethylene glycol 4000 (20 g/1) and potassium phosphate (about 210 g/1) were added to the cell-free solution. The additions resulted in the formation of two liquid phases. The bottom layer was removed, and polyethylene glycol was added to it at a final concentration of 10 g/1. Again two liquid phases formed. The two top phases thus obtained were pooled and 1.6 volumes of cold acetone were added to the mixture. The precipitate formed was dissolved in water and desalted on a Sephadex G-25 column. The desalted protein solution was applied to a carboxymethyl-cellulose column equilibrated with 0.025 M sodium phosphate buffer of pH 6.0. Most of the proteins and the proteinases but none of the bacteriolytic enzymes passed the column unadsorbed. The column was washed with 0.05 M glycine-NaOH buffer of pH 8.8, whereupon the adsorbed bacteriolytic enzymes together with small amounts of proteinases and other proteins were eluted with 0.2 M ammonium carbonate. The material not adsorbed on the CM-cellulose column contained 22 % of the proteolytic activity of the initial cell-free solution and had a 26-fold higher specific activity. The enzyme solution eluted with carbonate contained 24 and 0.3 %, respectively, of the initial bacteriolytic and proteolytic activities. The specific activity of the bacteriolytic enzyme system was about 5000-fold higher than that of the original solution.  相似文献

Despite their central importance in cell metabolism, little is known about proteases in marine phytoplankton. We surveyed caseinolytic and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activities in log-phase cultures of the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher, the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Gru.) Fryxell et Hasle, the chrysophyte Isochrysis galbana Parke, the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi (Lohm.) Hay et Mohler, and the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. (WH 5701). LAP activity was very low at pH < 6 and peaked between pH 7.5 and 8.5 in all species, whereas caseinolytic activity in most species showed only minor peaks in the pH 4–5 range and broad maxima above pH 8. Thus, acidic vacuolar proteases apparently represented only a small fraction of total protease activity. Attempts to classify proteases using selective inhibitors were inconclusive. Neither the serine/cysteine protease inhibitor leupeptin nor the aspartic protease inhibitor pepstatin. A inhibited caseinolytic or LAP activity in any species. The metalloprotease inhibitor EDTA was only effective against LAP activity in some species, causing average decreases of 30–50%, whereas the cysteine/serine protease inhibitor phenyl methyl sulfonylfluoride achieved at best a 30–60% decrease in caseinolytic activity. Caseinolytic activities were remarkably stable. At pH 7.5 and 25°C, extracts of D. tertiolecta, E. huxleyi, and Synechococcus showed no changes in activity after 24 h, whereas activity declined by less than 50% in the other species. Incubation of cell extracts for 1 h at 25°C in pH 7.5 buffer did not alter patterns of cell proteins, suggesting that endogenous proteases did not effectively degrade endogenous proteins. Casein zymograms were used to identify >200-and <20-kDa proteases in homogenates of log-phase T. weissflogii; only the smaller protease was found in D. tertiolecta. Antibodies to the ATPase subunit (C) of the conserved, chloroplastic Clp protease from Pisum cross-reacted with proteins in Synechococcus, D. tertiolecta, and I. galbana, but no cross-reactions were found for any species with antibodies against the ClpP subunit from either E. coli or Nicotiana. Our results show that phytoplankton contain a diverse complement of proteases with novel characteristics.  相似文献

The role of residues Asp60, Tyr35 and Glu141 in the pH-dependent activity of xylanase XYL1p from Scytalidium acidophilum was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. These amino acids are highly conserved among the acidophilic family 11 xylanases and located near the catalytic site. XYL1p and its single mutants D60N, Y35W and E141A and three combined mutants DN/YW, DN/EA and YW/EA were over-expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified. Xylanase activities at different pH’s and temperatures were determined. All mutations increased the pH optimum by 0.5–1.5 pH units. All mutants have lower specific activities except the E141A mutant that exhibited a 50% increase in specific activity at pH 4.0 and had an overall catalytic efficiency higher than the wild-type enzyme. Thermal unfolding experiments show that both the wild-type and E141A mutant proteins have a Tm maximum at pH 3.5, the E141A mutant being slightly less stable than the wild-type enzyme. These mutations confirm the importance of these amino acids in the pH adaptation. Mutant E141A with its enhanced specific activity at pH 4.0 and improved overall catalytic efficiency is of possible interest for biotechnological applications.  相似文献

Assays of invertase activity in acidic soils: Influence of buffers   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
D. J. Ross 《Plant and Soil》1987,97(2):285-289
Summary The influence of buffered and unbuffered systems for assays of invertase activity in a range of acidic soils (pH4.9–6.8), and a neutral soil (pH 7.1), from under pasture was determined. The buffers were those recently recommended in other studies,viz. a modified universal buffer (MUB) and a potassium phosphate buffer. The optimum pH for the invertase activity of a moderately acid soil (pH 5.5) wasc 4.0 and for the neutral soil was 5.0 With the acidic soils, invertase activity was lower in the assay system with MUB (initial pH 5.0) than in the unbuffered system, and decreased with increasing MUB molarity. The phosphate buffer was more satisfactory, even though the pH (5.0) was below its most effective range. Generally, either phosphate buffer or unbuffered systems appear suitable for measuring invertase activity in these acidic soils.  相似文献

该研究以春油菜幼苗为材料,采用土壤盆栽试验,设7个不同施硫(0、35、70、105、140、175、210mg·kg^-1)处理,通过测定春油菜幼苗的株高、植株鲜重、叶绿素含量、MDA含量、SOD、POD、CAT活性、土壤全氮含量、pH、蔗糖酶、过氧化氢酶和脲酶活性指标,分析不同施硫量对春油菜幼苗生理生化指标和土壤相关酶活性的影响。结果表明:在春油菜苗期施用硫肥对幼苗的农艺性状、生理生化指标和土壤酶活性均产生了一定影响。施硫量在35~105mg·kg^-1范围时,对植株鲜重有明显的促进作用;施硫量在70~105mg·kg^-1范围时,类胡萝卜素含量达到最高;施硫量在70~105mg·kg^-1范围时,叶片中POD和CAT的活性明显升高,而MDA含量明显下降;经相关分析,MDA含量与POD活性呈极显著负相关(r=-0.92,P<0.01),与CAT活性呈显著负相关(r=-0.72,P<0.05),说明叶片MDA含量受POD和CAT活性变化的影响;施硫量高于105mg·kg^-1时,土壤脲酶和蔗糖酶活性受到抑制;施硫量高于140mg·kg^-1时,土壤过氧化氢酶活性受到抑制;随着施硫量的增加,土壤pH值和叶片SOD活性逐渐下降;经相关性分析,土壤脲酶活性和全氮含量间呈极显著正相关(r=1,P<0.01),表明土壤全氮含量受土壤脲酶活性变化的影响。由此可知,在低硫(35~105mg·kg^-1)条件下对春油菜幼苗生理生化指标及土壤酶活性具有一定的促进作用,而在高硫(>105mg·kg^-1)条件下则产生抑制。  相似文献

High activity alkaline protease was obtained when the enzyme was immobilized on Dowex MWA-1 (mesh 20–50) with 10% glutaraldehyde in chilled phosphate buffer (M/15, pH 6.5). Activity yields of the protease and rennet were 27 and 29, respectively. The highest activities appeared at 60°C, pH 10 for alkaline protease and 50°C, pH 4.0 for rennet. The properties of both proteases were not essentially changed by the immobilization except that the Km values of both enzymes were increased about tenfold as a result of immobilization. Both proteases in the immobilized state were more stable than those in the free state at 60°C. Other peptide hydrolases, β-galactosidase, invertase, and glucoamylase, were successfully immobilized with high activities, but lipase, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and xanthine oxidase became inactive.  相似文献

Purified rat ceruloplasmin is extraordinarily unstable in storage at –70 °C. In a 20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, the ferroxidase and amine oxidase of ceruloplasmin are over 90% inactivated within two weeks. Holoceruloplasmin stored for three months in a 20 mM barbital buffer (or acetate buffer), pH 7.0 (or pH 5.5) was transformed into an apo-protein and amine (o-dianisidine) oxidase of ceruloplasmin was inactivated by 50–55%. The patterns of ferroxidase activity loss were similar to those of amine oxidase activity loss. On the contrary, when holoceruloplasmin was mixed with rat serum albumin, transformation into apoceruloplasmin was significantly prevented in a 20 mM barbital buffer, pH 7.0 (or 20 mM acetate buffer, pH 5.5). Consequently, ferroxidase and amine oxidase activities of ceruloplasmin were not inactivated and the immunochemical reactivity was not changed. These results can be applied for laboratorial and clinical purposes.  相似文献

A constitutive level of a mycelium-bound lipolytic activity from Aspergillus niger MYA 135 was strongly increased by 97% in medium supplemented with 2% olive oil. The constitutive lipase showed an optimal activity in the pH range of 3.0–6.5, while the mycelium-bound lipase activity produced in the presence of olive oil had two pH optima at pH 4 and 7. Interestingly, both lipolytic sources were cold-active showing high catalytic activities in the temperature range of 4–8°C. These mycelium-bound lipase activities were also very stable in reaction mixtures containing methanol and ethanol. In fact, the constitutive lipase maintained almost 100% of its activity after exposure by 1 h at 37°C in ethanol. A simple methodology to evaluate suitable transesterification activities in organic solvents was also reported.  相似文献

Summary The excretion of an acid phosphatase by Rhodotorula glutinis is related to the pH of the medium. During growth, the phosphatase excretion into the medium at a constant pH of 4.5 was 5 times higher than that observed at variable pH. After cultivation at a constant pH of 4.5 or at variable pH, cells were incubated at various pH values between pH 2 and 7. During this second incubation acid phosphatase release occured at pH 4.5 to 6.5 only. There was no release at pH 3.0; but when resting cells incubated at this pH were placed in a buffer solution at pH 5.5 a high activity was released. Extensive washing did not eliminate residual intrinsic acid phosphatase activity. These two types of acid phosphatase were phosphomonoesterases with an identical specificity for different substrates.  相似文献

Fluorogenic artificial substrates facilitate sensitive enzyme activity measurements for a variety of processes in soil and other environmental samples. It is possible to use in situ pH for measurements on condition that the substrates are chemically stable. We studied the stability of 12 different methyl umbellipherone (MUF) and amino methyl coumarine (AMC) derivatives used as substrates for arylsulphatase, alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucosidase, beta-xylosidase, cellobiosidase, chitinase, phosphomonoesterase (PME), phoshodiesterase (PDE), esterase, lipase and alanine- and leucine aminopeptidases (AP) over the pH range from 4.0 to 8.0 in modified universal buffer (MUB). Stability of the substrates for lipase (4-MUF-heptanoate) and esterase (4-MUF-acetate) measurements was poor, especially at the higher pH values. Chitinase substrate, 4-MUF-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamide, was unstable at high pH values whereas the substrate for PME activity measurement (4-MUF-phosphate) disintegrated at low pH. The other substrates and MUF and AMC standard solutions were stable over the pH range studied. The optima between pH 4 and 8 of the 11 different enzyme activities were measured in three forest and two agricultural soil samples and in one activated sludge sample. In soil, for alanine and leucine AP the pH optima were usually 7.5 or higher, for arylsulphatase, beta-glucosidase, beta-xylosidase, esterase and PDE between 4 and 5.5, and for cellobiosidase between 4 and 5. alpha-Glucosidase had an optimum below 5.5 but also exhibited high activity at pH 7. Soil-dependent variation in pH optima were observed for chitinase, esterase, PDE and PME. Enzyme activities were also measured in 0.5 M acetate buffer at pH 5.5. This buffer yielded the highest activities in all soil samples for arylsulphatase, PDE and PME.  相似文献

Recombinant Escherichia coli cell containing D-amidohydrolase was employed to convert D-N-carbamoyl-p-hydroxyphenylglycine (D-CpHPG) to D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine (D-pHPG). Biotransformations under pH 7 and 40 degrees C allowed to complete conversion of D-CpHPG into D-pHPG. Under the same reaction pH, the D-amidohydrolase activity of the cell in the phosphate buffer was higher than that in the Tris buffer. The activity decreased with the increase of phosphate buffer concentration. Instead of using buffer, the reaction pH maintained constant at 7 by titrating with 1 N HCl resulted in a higher D-pHPG production rate. Flocculating the cell suspension with chitosan and cross-linked by glutaraldehyde made the cell recovery for repeated use much easier. Both the cross-linking and (PMSF; a protease inhibitor) treatments could increase the cell reusability and storage stability. However, the cross-linking decreased the D-amidohydrolase activity of the cell to about 50%. The D-amidohydrolase activities of free and cross-linked cell were inhibited at substrate concentration higher than 150 mM and 100 mM, respectively. The conversion of 150 mM D-CpHPG to D-pHPG could be completed within 7 h for the free cell at the concentration of 10% (wet weight/volume).  相似文献

Ultrasound effects were investigated on pectinase (PE), xylanase (XLN) and cellulase (CE) activities at different pH, temperatures, and by sonication pre-treatment, comparing the reaction at ultrasound bath (US) and at a mechanical stirring (MS). In general, US increased the activity of the enzymes by 5% for PE, 30 % for XLN and 25% for CE compared to MS. US provided a higher activity at extremes pH (pH 3 and 7), mainly for XLN and CE. The substrate and enzyme pre-sonication enhanced the activities. The previous sonication of xylan increased the xylanase activity in almost 30% under US and almost 20% under MS. On the other hand, cellulase pre-sonication increased the activity in 50% under US and 40% under MS. The catalytic efficiency (Vmax/KM) increase 25% for PE and 17% for higher XLN and CE under US. US affected the PE activity at low temperature improving 10% the PE activity, while its effect was more representative at high temperatures, where the enzymatic activities of XLN and CE were 33% and 15% higher. Our results demonstrated that ultrasound can affect enzymes and substrates, making it a powerful tool for enzymatic-catalyzed reactions.  相似文献

Candida rugosa lipase was covalently immobilized onto silica gel in two different ways: via glutaraldehyde (LGAL) and via hydrophobic spacer arm (1,6 diamino hexane) (LSA). Free lipase, LGAL and LSA were used to investigate the hydrolysis of two different substrates, namely p-nitrophenyl palmytate (pNPP) and p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA), both in aqueous medium. In addition, these lipase samples were used to synthesize the pNPP from p-nitrophenol (pNP) and palmytic acid (PA) and pNPA from pNP and acetic acid (AA), both in hexane medium. Hydrolytic and synthetic activities of LSA were higher than those of free lipase and LGAL. Synthetic activities of free lipase, LGAL and LSA for pNPA in the presence of pNP and AA within hexane medium were higher than those of hydrolytic activities for pNPA in aqueous medium. The same tendency was also observed with pNPP. The effects of pH and temperature on hydrolytic and synthetic activities were investigated for all lipase preparations. Operational stability was the highest for LGAL and LSA when these enzymes were used for pNPP synthesis and in hexane medium, after 100 repeated uses, 68% and 51% of initial activities remained, respectively, at the end of 100 repeated cycles. Free lipase lost all of its activity within 15 and 20 days when stored at 25 °C and 5 °C, respectively. However, LGAL showed 54% and 70% of initial activity at the end of 60 storage days at 25 °C and 5 °C, respectively, while these values were observed as 36% and 60% for LSA.  相似文献
