Proline iminopeptidase [EC 3.4.11.5] was purified about 1,700-fold from cell free extract of Bacillus megaterium by a series of column chromatographies on DEAE-Toyopearl, PCMB-T-Sepharose and hydroxyapatite, and gel filtration on Toyopearl FW-55. The purified enzyme still contained a minor contaminant as judged by disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was most active at pH 7.0 with Pro-beta-naphthylamide (Pro-2-NNap) as the substrate, and hydrolyzed Pro-X (X = amino acid, peptide, amide, and arylamide) bonds when the proline residue was at the amino terminal. The enzyme was completely inactivated by p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), but was not inhibited by metal chelators, diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). The enzyme inactivated with PCMB was reactivated by adding 2-mercaptoethanol. From this result and the chromatographic profile on PCMB-T-Sepharose, the enzyme seems to be a sulfhydryl enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 4.0. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 58,000 by gel filtration on Toyopearl and 60,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the enzyme is a monomer. 相似文献

Proline iminopeptidase from Bacillus coagulans: purification and enzymatic properties 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Proline iminopeptidase [EC 3.4.11.5] was purified about 2,700-fold from cell-free extract of Bacillus coagulans by a series of column chromatographies on DEAE-Toyopearl, PCMB-T-Sepharose, and hydroxyapatite, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was most active at pH 7.3 with Pro-beta-naphthylamide (Pro-2-NNap) as the substrate, and hydrolyzed Pro-X (X = amino acid including proline, peptide, amide, and arylamide) bonds when the proline residue was at the amino terminus. Pro-D-amino acid bonds were also susceptible to the enzyme. The enzyme was completely inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) and partially by proline but not by metal chelators, diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP), or phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). The enzyme inactivated with PCMB was reactivated by incubation with 2-mercaptoethanol. These results and the chromatographic profile on PCMB-T-Sepharose suggest that the enzyme is a sulfhydryl enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 4.0, and the molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 40,000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and 35,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis, indicating that the enzyme exists as a monomer. 相似文献

A NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase (CSCR1) was purified to homogeneity from Cylindrocarpon sclerotigenum IFO 31855. The enzyme catalyzed the stereoselective reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate to the corresponding (S)-alcohol with a >99% enantiomer excess. The relative molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 68,000 by gel filtration chromatography and 24,800 on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had an extremely narrow substrate specificity and it highly reduced conjugated diketone, 2,3-butanedion, in addition to ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate. The enzyme activity was inhibited by HgCl(2) (100%), 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (56%), dicoumarol (42%), and CuSO(4) (46%). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme (P-Q-G-I-P-T-A-S-R-L) showed no apparent similarity with those of other oxidoreductases. 相似文献

Physical-chemical studies of pyruvate carboxylase from Pseudomonas citronellolis demonstrate that the enzyme has an alpha 4 beta 4 structure. The individual polypeptides, alpha (Mr = 65,000) and beta (Mr = 54,000), were separated and isolated by preparative gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the relationship between Coomassie blue staining and protein quantity for each polypeptide indicated that the alpha and beta subunits are present in a 1:1 stoichiometry in the native enzyme. Determinations of the molecular weight of the protein by sedimentation equilibrium (Mr = 454,000), gel filtration analysis (Mr = 510,000), disc gel electrophoresis (Mr = 530,000), and mass measurement from the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (Mr = 530,000) are consistent with the proposed alpha 4 beta 4 structure. Disc gel electrophoresis studies revealed that under certain circumstances the enzyme may dissociate to a smaller molecular weight species (Mr = 228,000). This dissociation phenomenon could explain the earlier reported observation of Taylor et al. ((1972) J. Biol. Chem 22, 7388-8390) that the enzyme had a molecular weight of 265,000. Evidence from electron microscopic studies shows that the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme is quite distinct from other species of pyruvate carboxylase. The enzyme does not show the typical rhombic appearance which has been noted for chicken liver, sheep liver, and yeast pyruvate carboxylase. 相似文献

A 1, 3-beta-glucanase of Bacillus No. 221 has been extensively purified by a DEAE-cellulose column followed by a Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, and crystallized in ammonium sulfate solution. The crystalline enzyme is homogenous on the basis of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sedimentation in ultracentrifuge (3.2 S), Ampholine electrofocusing (pI=4.1) and dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Mr=36 000). The enzyme has an optimum pH for enzyme action at 8.5 which is higher than those of other 1, 3-beta-glucanases so far reported. The enzyme is very thermostable; about 90% of activity remains after being heated at 70 degrees C for 10 min, and no effect of Ca-2's obversed. The enzyme does not hydrolyse laminaritriose, but hydrolyses laminaritetraose, and yields glucose and laminaritriose. The enzyme splits laminaran at random and yields glucose, laminaribiose, laminaritriose and higher oligosaccharides. From these results, this enzyme is a type of endo-1, 3-beta-glucanase. 相似文献

Purified rat-liver dihydropteridine reductase is homogeneous by gel filtration (Mr approximately 51,000), sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Mr approximately 25,500), and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the enzyme is composed of two identical subunits. However, analysis by isoelectric focusing has revealed three enzyme forms with approximate isoelectric points of 6.5, 5.9, and 5.7 (designated forms, I, II, and III, respectively). The three forms, isolated in 65% yield by preparative chromatofocusing, are stable in 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.8, containing 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol and exhibit similar kinetic constants when the catalytic activities of the isolated forms are compared with quinonoid dihydrobiopterin as substrate. All forms generate complexes with the enzymatic cofactor NADH which are also detectable by IEF. When examined further by IEF under denaturing conditions in 6 M urea the enzyme demonstrates a differing subunit composition for its three forms. Two distinct subunits, designated alpha and beta, can be identified, and additional evidence suggests that the native enzyme forms I, II, and III represent the three differing dimeric combinations alpha alpha (form I), alpha beta (form II), and beta beta (form III). 相似文献

Porcine liver succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide hydrolytic enzyme. Its purification and characterization as a post-proline cleaving enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide(STANA)-hydrolytic enzyme was purified 5,200-fold from porcine liver soluble fraction with a yield of 75% by ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographies on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephadex G-150, and hydroxylapatite columns. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The pI of the enzyme was 4.9 by dis gel electrofocusing and the molecular weight was calculated to be 72,000 by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-150 column and 74,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Acidic amino acids amounted to 17.2% of the total amino acid residues, and the basic ones, 12.9%. No hexosamine was detected. The STANA-hydrolytic enzyme showed maximal activity at pH 7.4 against succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide and at pH 6.5 against succinyl-Gly-Pro-4-methylcoumaryl 7-amide (MCA), and was stable between pH 6 and 7 in the presence of dithiothreitol. This enzyme hydrolyzed succinyl-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-MCA, succinyl-Gly-Pro-MCA, succinyl-Ala-Pro-Ala-MCA, and several proline-containing natural peptides in addition to succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide, but was unable to hydrolyze the substrates of aminopeptidases, dipeptidylaminopeptidase IV, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Elastatinal and chymostatin were effective inhibitors and their IC50 values were 8.7 micrograms/ml and 18.2 micrograms/ml, respectively. The enzyme was completely inhibited by 10(-7) M p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (pCMB), 10(-7) M p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid (pCMPS), and 10(-4) M diisopropyl phosphofluoridate (DFP), but not by 1 mM E-64, which is known as an inhibitor specific to thiol proteinase. The enzyme was easily inactivated by agitation in a Vortex mixer, and its activity was recovered by the addition of thiol compounds such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol and cysteine. The effects of inhibitors and thiol compounds were substantially identical when the enzyme activity was measured with either succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide or succinyl-Gly-Pro-MCA as a substrate. These results indicate that the STANA-hydrolytic enzyme in the liver soluble fraction is a post-proline cleaving enzyme [EC 3.4.21.26]. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

The major wound-inducible monoterpene synthase (cyclase) of grand fir (Abies grandis) stems transforms geranyl pyrophosphate to both (-)-alpha-pinene (40%) and (-)-beta-pinene (60%). The enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, coupled to discontinuous native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at neutral pH and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (also at neutral pH) followed by renaturation in 1% Tween 20 (polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate). The renatured enzyme produced a mixture of isomeric pinenes from geranyl pyrophosphate identical to that generated by the native form. The protein exhibited a molecular weight of 63,000 by gel permeation chromatography and of 62,000 by denaturing gel electrophoresis, indicating that the monomer is active. The enzyme required Mn2+ (Km = 30 microM) for activity, exhibited a Km value of 6 microM for the substrate geranyl pyrophosphate, showed a pH optimum at 7.8 and temperature optimum at 42 degrees C, and was inhibited by pyrophosphate (I50 = 0.17 mM), orthophosphate (I50 = 51 mM), and alpha-pinene, as well as by the histidine-directed reagent diethylpyrocarbonate (I50 = 0.64 mM) and the cysteine-directed reagent p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (I50 = 1.9 microM). Although similar in many respects to constitutive monoterpene cyclases of herbaceous species, this inducible cyclase, the first enzyme of this type to be purified to homogeneity from a conifer, is distinguished by the relatively high pH optimum, and the strict specificity and high affinity for the divalent metal ion cofactor. 相似文献

A (1,3)-beta-D-glucanase [(1,3)-beta-D-glucan-3-glucanohydrolase] from Ruminococcus flavefaciens grown on milled filter paper was purified 3,700-fold (19% yield) and appeared as a single major protein and activity band upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme did not hydrolyze 1,6-beta linkages (pustulan) or 1,3-beta linkages in glucans with frequent 1,6-beta-linkage branch points (scleroglucan). Curdlan and carboxymethylpachyman were hydrolyzed at 50% the rate of laminarin. The enzyme had a Km of 0.37 mg of laminarin per ml, a pH optimum of 6.8, and a temperature optimum of 55 degrees C and was stable to heating at 40 degrees C for 60 min. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 26 kDa by gel filtration and 25 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was completely inhibited by 1 mM Hg2+, Cu2+, and KMnO4, 75% by 1 mM Ag2+, and Ni2+, and 50% by 1 mM Mn2+ and Fe3+. In a 2-h incubation with laminaridextrins (seven to nine glucose units) or curdlan and excess enzyme, the major products were glucose (30 to 37%), laminaribiose (17 to 23%), laminaritriose (18 to 28%), laminaritetraose (13 to 21%), and small amounts of large laminarioligosaccharides. With laminarihexaose and laminaripentaose, the products were equal quantities of laminaribiose and glucose (30%) and laminaritetraose and laminaritriose (18 to 21%). Laminaribiose or laminaritriose were not hydrolyzed, indicating a requirement for at least four contiguous 1,3-beta-linked glucose units for enzyme activity. The enzyme appeared to have the properties of both an exo- and an endoglucanase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase [EC 1.7.3.4] of Nitrosomonas europaea was purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state and some of its properties were studied. The molecular weight of the enzyme as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G150 and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate is 175,000-180,000, while the minimum molecular weight per heme determined from the dry weight and heme content is 17,500. The enzyme is a C-type cytochrome; its reduced form shows absorption peaks at 418 (gamma peak), 521 (beta peak), 553 (alpha peak), and 460 nm (due to an unidentified chromophore). Although the alpha peak at 553 nm has a shoulder at 559 nm, the enzyme does not posses protoheme or a cytochrome b subunit. It seems likely that the enzyme molecule possess heme c molecules in different states. The enzyme reacts rapidly with various eukaryotic cytochromes c, but does not react with "bacterial-type" cytochromes c. Although the enzyme does not react with cytochrome c-552 (N. europaea), another C-type cytochrome of the organism, cytochrome c-554 (N. europaea) acts as an electron acceptor for the enzyme. 相似文献

Production, purification, and characterization of xylanase from a hyperxylanolytic mutant of Aspergillus ochraceus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Enhancement of the productivity of xylanase and beta-xy-losidase of Aspergillus ochraceus was investigated by multistep mutagenesis. The spores of the wild strain were subjected to UV and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitro-soguanidine (NTG). The hyperxylanolytic mutant (NG-13), which showed good clearing on the surface of the xylan-agar plate, secretes xylanase and beta-xylosidase at high levels during growth on commercial xylan and on agricultural wastes. Both liquid and solid state cultures were employed in the study for enzyme production. The xylanase from NG-13 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration. This purified enzyme showed a pH optimum of 6.0 and was stable in the range of pH 5 to 10. Prolonged stability of the enzyme was observed at 45 degrees C though its activity was maximal at 50 degrees C. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 4.3 x 10(4) by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 5 x 10(4) by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The kinetic data showed that the K(m) and V(max) values for xylan were 1 x 10(-3)M and 19.6 mumol/ min/mg protein, respectively. The enzyme was both more active and thermostable in the presence of K(+)and was inactivated by thiol reagents such as Hg(2+), p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB), 3', 5'-dithiobis (2'-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). 相似文献

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. 相似文献

A fibrinolytic protease was purified from a Chinese herb (Spirodela polyrhiza). The protease has a molecular mass of 145 kDa and 70 kDa in gel filtration and SDS-polyacrlamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), respectively, implying it is a dimer. Its optimum pH was 4.5-5.0. The enzyme was stable below 42 degrees C and after lyophilization. The enzyme activity was inhibited significantly by leupeptin and aprotinin. The protease hydrolyzed not only fibrin but also fibrinogen, cleaving Aalpha and Bbeta without affecting the gamma chain of fibrinogen. It preferentially cleaved the peptide bond of Arg or Lys of synthetic substrates (P1 position). The enzyme had an anticoagulating activity measured with activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and prothrombin time (PT) tests. It delayed APTT, TT, and PT two times at the concentration of 36, 39, and 128 nM, respectively and this was drastically reduced after heat treatment. 相似文献

RNA polymerase I was purified from chromatin isolated from auxin-treated soybean hypocotyl. Purification was achieved by using Agarose A-1.5m gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose, CM-sephadex, and phosphocellulose chromatography, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. With denatured calf thymus DNA as template, the enzyme has a high specific activity (200-300 nmol/mg/30 min at 28 degrees C) which is comparable to other RNA polymerase I enzymes purified from animals and yeast. While the gel profiles indicate that purification to homogeneity (greater than 90%) may not have been achieved, the enzyme appears to be composed of possibly 7 subunits, several of which are similar to the subunits of yeast RNA polymerase I. The putative subunits and molar ratios are 183 000 (1), 136 000 (1), 50 000 (0.5), 46 000 (0.5), 40 000 (0.5), 33 000 (0.2), and 28 000 (2). The purified enzyme strongly prefers a completely denatured template such as poly(dC). 相似文献

Heat-stable extracellular proteolytic enzyme produced by Thermus caldophilus strain GK24, an extremely thermophilic bacterium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Proteolytic activity was detected in the culture supernatant of a newly isolated, extremely thermophilic bacterium belonging to the genus Thermus, and tentatively named T. caldophilus sp. n. strain GK24. The enzyme activity continued to increase for at least three days after cells reached the stationary phase of growth. Purification of the proteolytic enzyme was tried with ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. The most purified enzyme fraction thus obtained appeared to be homogeneous in a chromatographic analysis, but still had seven bands of proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Treatment of the protease with denaturing reagents or organic solvents did not alter the chromatographic profile and the purified enzyme sample showed a large sedimentation coefficient of about 11S. The optimal pH of the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme was observed at around 7.8 for casein and 7.2 for N-carbobenzoxy-L-leucyl-L-tyrosinamide (Z-Leu-Tyr-NH2). The enzyme was stable in the pH range of 5 to 11 for 1 day at 4 degrees C or for 1 h at 70 degrees C. The enzyme sample showed a maximal activity at 90 degrees C and had an extreme stability toward treatment by heat and denaturing reagents. The enzyme sample was inactivated almost completely by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), but not by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). From these results, the enzyme seems to be a serine protease, and not to be a metallo-enzyme such as thermolysin. The enzyme also was hydrolytic active toward an ester compound, N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE), but not toward N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE). 相似文献
