Detoxification of organophosphate pesticides using an immobilized phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A purified phosphotriesterase was successfully immobilized onto trityl agarose in a fixed bed reactor. A total of up to 9200 units of enzyme activity was immobilized onto 2.0 mL of trityl agarose (65 mumol trityl groups/mL agarose), where one unit is the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the hydrolysis of one micromole of paraoxon in one min. The immobilized enzyme was shown to behave chemically and kinetically similar to the free enzyme when paraoxon was utilized as a substrate. Several organophosphate pesticides, methyl parathion, ethyl parathion, diazinon, and coumaphos were also hydrolyzed by the immobilized phosphotriesterase. However, all substrates exhibited an affinity for the trityl agarose matrix. For increased solubility and reduction in the affinity of these pesticides for the trityl agarose matrix, methanol/water mixtures were utilized. The effect of methanol was not deleterious when concentrations of less than 20% were present. However, higher concentrations resulted in elution of enzyme from the reactor. With a 10-unit reactor, a 1.0 mM paraoxon solution was hydrolyzed completely at a flow rate of 45 mL/h. Kinetic parameters were measured with a 0.1-unit reactor with paraoxon as a substrate at a flow rate of 22 mL/h. The apparent K(m) for the immobilized enzyme was 3-4 times greater than the K(m) (0.1 mM) for the soluble enzyme. Immobilization limited the maximum rate of substrate hydrolysis to 40% of the value observed for the soluble enzyme. The pH-rate profiles of the soluble and immobilized enzymes were very similar. The immobilization of phosphotriesterase onto trityl agarose provides an effective method esterase onto trityl agarose provides an effective method for hydrolyzing and thus detoxifyuing organophosphate pesticides and mammalian acetylcholinesterase inhinbitors. 相似文献

Calcium-activated neutral proteases (calpain, EC 3.4.22.17) bind to agarose matrices (Bio-Gel A-150m, Sepharose 4B, and Ultrogel AcA 34) with high affinity in the presence of calcium. 6-O-beta-Galactopyranosyl-D-galactose, a disaccharide which closely resembles the repeating unit of the agarose matrices, completely blocks the binding of calpains and can release agarose-bound enzymes in the presence of calcium. At least 1 microM level of free calcium is required for binding. Other calcium binding proteins, including calmodulin, calpastatin, casein, and neurofilament proteins, fail to bind under the same conditions. Both calpain I and calpain II can be readily purified from crude enzyme preparations by agarose chromatography in the presence of calcium and leupeptin. Agarose-bound enzymes are eluted with calcium-free solutions or can be released in the presence of calcium by 1% Triton X-100, but not by 1 M urea or 20% ethylene glycol. Enzymes eluted from agarose are activated, as evidenced by the appearance of faster migrating forms (76 and 78 kDa) of the 80-kDa catalytic subunit of calpain I upon electrophoresis and by the increased sensitivity of calpain II to activation by micromolar levels of calcium. The electrophoretic migration of the 30-kDa regulatory subunit is, however, unaltered in enzyme fractions eluted from an agarose column. When the enzyme subunits are dissociated in 1 M NaSCN, only the 30-kDa subunit binds to the agarose matrix. Furthermore, neither calpain I nor calpain II binds to agarose when their 30-kDa subunit is autocatalyzed to an 18-kDa fragment, indicating that the NH2-terminal of the 30-kDa subunit is important for the binding of calpains to an agarose matrix. 相似文献

In micro-arrayed compound screening (microARCS), an agarose gel is used as a reaction vessel that maintains humidity and compound location as well as being a handling system for reagent addition. Two or more agarose gels may be used to bring test compounds, targets, and reagents together, relying on the pore size of the gel matrix to regulate diffusion of reactants. It is in the microenvironment of the agarose matrix that all the components of an enzymatic reaction interact and result in inhibitable catalytic activity. In an effort to increase the throughput of microARCS-based screens, reduce the effort involved in manipulating agarose gels, and reduce costs, blotter paper was used rather than a second agarose gel to introduce a substrate to a gel containing a target enzyme. In this assay, the matrix of the blotter paper did not prevent the substrate from diffusing into the enzyme gel. The compound density of the microARCS format, the ease of manipulating sheets of paper for reagent addition, and a scheduled protocol for running multiple gels allowed for a throughput capacity of more than 200,000 tests per hour. A protease assay was developed and run in the microARCS format at a rate of 200,000 tests per hour using blotter paper to introduce the substrate. Picks in the primary screen were retested in the microARCS format at a density of 384 compounds per sheet. IC(50) values were confirmed in a 96-well plate format. The screen identified several small molecule inhibitors of the enzyme. The details of the screening format and the analysis of the hits from the screen are presented. 相似文献

The immobilizaton of the enzyme glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase (GA) was performed via ionic adsorption onto several supports: a new anionic exchange resin, based on the coating of Sepabeads internal surfaces with polyethyleneimine (PEI) of different molecular weights, and conventional EC-Q1A-Sepabeads and DEAE-agarose. Immobilization occurred very rapidly in all cases, but the adsorption strength was much higher in the case of PEI-Sepabeads than in the other supports at pH 7 (e.g., at 150 mM NaCl, 90% of the enzyme was eluted from the DEAE agarose and 15% was eluted from the EC-Q1A-Sepabeads, whereas no desorption was detected with the best PEI-Sepabeads). Interestingly, the adsorption strength of the GA was increased when it was immobilized on PEI-Sepabeads with higher molecular weights. For instance, enzyme desorption was detected from 75 mM NaCl for the derivative prepared onto Sepabeads coated with PEI 700 Da, whereas in the derivative prepared with the highest molecular weight PEI (600 000 Da) no enzyme desorption was detected below 150 mM NaCl. Optimal PEI-Sepabeads (prepared with PEI of 600 000 Da) was even much more thermostable than the covalent derivative prepared onto cyanogen bromide agarose. Moreover, this derivative presented a half-life 26-fold higher than that of the soluble enzyme at 45 degrees C, and the support could be reused 10 times after the full desorption of the enzyme without decreasing loading capacity. 相似文献

An immobilized enzyme reactor has been developed to remove heparin, the anticoagulant that is required in all extracorporeal devices for patients undergoing open-heart surgery or kidney dialysis. The device uses the enzyme heparinase (EC 4.2.2.7), which is covalently linked to agarose with cyanogen bromide. A critical parameter in the development of a model for the degradation of heparin catalyzed by immobilized heparinase is the radial concentration profile of the enzyme within the agarose matrix. Experimental determinations of bound enzyme con centrations have been conducted previously for several enzyme systems using radioactive or fluorescent labels. For the development of the heparinase reactor it is necessary to use catalytically but not electrophoretically pure enzyme, and thus it is not possible to use the labeling techniques. To obtain information about the bound enzyme distribution, an experimental study of the intrinsic binding kinetics of heparinase to cyanogen bromide-activated agarose was conducted. The binding reaction was studied as a function of both the concentration of heparinase and the gel-reactive group. At conditions of functional group excess, the binding kinetics were pseudo first order in heparinase concentration with a rate constant equal to 0.12 C(c[triple chemical bond]n) (h(-1)), where C(c[triple chemical bond]n) is the gel-reactive group concentration. The reactive group concentration remained constant within the 2-4-h experiments. Competitive binding between heparinase and the protein contaminants was unimportant. A model was formulated for the immobilization procedure based on the diffusion of heparinase within the porous network and the binding kinetics as determined above. The model predicted the immobilization of heparinase to be kinetically controlled and the enzyme to distribute uniformly within the agarose matrix. These experimental techniques could be applied to predict the immobilized enzyme distribution for different enzyme systems that are not electrophoretically pure. 相似文献

A simple method of enzyme immobilization was investigated, which is useful for development of enzyme electrodes based on polyvinylferrocenium perchlorate coated Pt electrode surface. Enzymes were incorporated into the polymer matrix via ion exchange process by immersing polyvinylferrocenium perchlorate coated Pt electrode in enzyme solution for several times. Choline and acetylcholine enzyme electrodes were developed by co-immobilizing choline oxidase and acetylcholinesterase in polyvinylferrocenium perchlorate matrix coated on a Pt electrode surface. The amperometric responses of the enzyme electrodes were measured at +0.70 V versus SCE, which was due to the electrooxidation of enzymatically produced H2O2. The effects of the thickness of the polymeric film, pH, temperature, substrate and enzyme concentrations on the response of the enzyme electrode were investigated. The optimum pH was found to be pH 7.4 at 25 degrees C. The steady-state current of these enzyme electrodes were reproducible within +/-5.0% of the relative error. Response time was found to be 30-50s and upper limit of the linear working portions was found to be 1.2mM choline and acetylcholine concentrations in which produced detectable currents were 1.0 x 10(-6)M substrate concentrations. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant and the activation energy of this immobilized enzyme system were found to be 1.74 mM acetylcholine and 14.9 kJ mol(-1), respectively. The effects of interferents and stability of the enzyme electrodes were also investigated. 相似文献

A suitable matrix to host enzymes for biosensor applications should encage and retain the bioactive species, while allowing it to be accessed to exploit its catalytic properties. Sol-gel derived monoliths are promising in this aspect. Molecular diffusion was monitored using fluorescence labelled proteins and unbound fluorescence dye molecules (representative of enzyme substrates) and their interaction with and mobility within the host assessed using time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching observed via confocal microscopy. 相似文献

The direct immobilization of soluble peroxidase isolated and partially purified from shoots of rice seedlings in calcium alginate
beads and in calcium agarose gel was carried out. Peroxidase was assayed for guaiacol oxidation products in presence of hydrogen
peroxide. The maximum specific activity and immobilization yield of the calcium agarose immobilized peroxidase reached 2,200
U mg−1 protein (540 mU cm−3 gel) and 82%, respectively. In calcium alginate the maximum activity of peroxidase upon immobilization was 210 mU g−1 bead with 46% yield. The optimal pH for agarose immobilized peroxidase was 7.0 which differed from the pH 6.0 for soluble
peroxidase. The optimum temperature for the agarose immobilized peroxidase however was 30°C, which was similar to that of
soluble peroxidase. The thermal stability of calcium agarose immobilized peroxidase significantly enhanced over a temperature
range of 30∼60°C upon immobilization. The operational stability of peroxidase was examined with repeated hydrogen peroxide
oxidation at varying time intervals. Based on 50% conversion of hydrogen peroxide and four times reuse of immobilized gel,
the specific degradation of guaiacol for the agarose immobilized peroxidase increased three folds compared to that of soluble
peroxidase. Nearly 165% increase in the enzyme protein binding to agarose in presence of calcium was noted. The results suggest
that the presence of calcium, ions help in the immobilization process of peroxidase from rice shoots and mediates the direct
binding of the enzyme to the agarose gel and that agarose seems to be a better immobilization matrix for peroxidase compared
to sodium alginate. 相似文献

Unexpected loss of genomic DNA from agarose gel plugs 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Intact chromosomal DNAs are routinely prepared by embedding cells in agarose plugs before lysis. The large sizes of the genomic DNAs cause their retention while other macromolecules diffuse into and out of the gel matrix during lysis, washing and restriction cleavage incubations. However, in an analysis of agarose-embedded chromosomal DNAs cleaved with restriction enzymes, fragments larger than 30 kilobases were found to have eluted from the gel plugs. Since loss of fragments from gel plugs may affect qualitative and quantitative interpretations of electrophoretic patterns, an analysis of the diffusion of DNA segments from agarose plugs was performed. The two variables monitored were the time dependence and the DNA fragment size dependence of the diffusion process. The results indicate that small fragments (less than or equal to 2 kilobases) are quickly lost from 1% agarose gel plugs; moreover, significant amounts of large DNA segments (i.e., the 48.5-kilobase lambda phage chromosome) are also lost. In addition to urging caution in the analysis of restriction cleavage data, these observations suggest that intact small organelle genomes and extrachromosomal DNAs also may be lost from genomic DNAs prepared in agarose gel plugs. 相似文献

Novel particle-loaded monolithic capillary electrochromatography (CEC) phases for chiral separations were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) within the confines of fused silica columns with 200 microm i.d. using norborn-2-ene (NBE), 1,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-1,4,5,8,exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene (DMN-H6) as monomers, 2-propanol and toluene as porogens, RuCl2(PCy3)2(CHPh) as initiator and silica-based particles containing the chiral selector. By suspending silica particles bearing the chiral selector in the polymerization mixture, particle-based monoliths are easily prepared. This approach has several advantages compared to particle-based separation media: (i) the concept of particle-based monoliths is broadly applicable, as any silica-based chiral phase can be used; (ii) they are inexpensive to prepare; and (iii) the manufacturing process is very simple, no sophisticated packing procedures or the preparation of end frits are required. To show the usefulness of this concept for chiral CEC, the chiral separation performance of particle-loaded CEC monoliths bearing teicoplanin aglycone, chemically bonded to 3 microm silica gel, was investigated for a set of glycyl-dipeptides. Particle-loaded ROMP CEC monoliths showed good separation performance for glycyl-dipeptides. 相似文献

Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) of oligosaccharides in porous polyacrylamide monoliths has been explored. While it is possible to alter separation capacity for various compounds by copolymerization of suitable separation ligands in the polymerization backbone, "blank" acrylamide matrix is also capable of sufficient resolution of oligosaccharides in the hydrophilic interaction mode. The "blank" acrylamide network, formed with a more rigid crosslinker, provides maximum efficiency for separations (routinely up to 350,000 theoretical plates/m for fluorescently-labeled oligosaccharides). These columns yield a high spatial resolution of the branched glycan isomers and large column permeabilities. From the structural point of view, some voids are observable in the monoliths at the mesoporous range (mean pore radius ca. 35 nm, surface area of 74 m2/g), as measured by intrusion porosimetry in the dry state. 相似文献

The preparation of an enzyme associated with aflatoxin biosynthesis by affinity chromatography 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

An affinity matrix for the purification of norsolorinic acid dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis, was prepared by coupling norsolorinic acid to an agarose gel. This matrix was found to be ineffective in isolating active enzyme, and was therefore modified by methylation, using diazomethane. The methylated matrix produced a one-step purification of the enzyme from a crude homogenate, resulting in a 138-fold purification. The active isolate was found to contain one major and two minor bands upon nondenaturing electrophoresis, and all the norsolorinic acid dehydrogenase activity was associated with the major band. It was concluded that the matrix exhibited true affinity for the enzyme, and that affinity chromatography was a valuable approach to isolating other secondary metabolic enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the aflatoxins. 相似文献

Use of biotin-labeled nucleic acids for protein purification and agarose-based chemiluminescent electromobility shift assays 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have employed biotin-labeled RNA to serve two functions. In one, the biotin tethers the RNA to streptavidin-agarose beads, creating an affinity resin for protein purification. In the other, the biotin functions as a label for use in a modified chemiluminescent electromobility shift assay (EMSA), a technique used to detect the formation of protein-RNA complexes. The EMSA that we describe avoids the use not only of radioactivity but also of neurotoxic acrylamide by using agarose as the gel matrix in which the free nucleic acid is separated from protein-nucleic acid complexes. After separation of free from complexed RNA in agarose, the RNA is electroblotted to positively charged nylon. The biotin-labeled RNA is readily bound by a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase conjugate, allowing for very sensitive chemiluminescent detection ( approximately 0.1-1.0 fmol limit). Using our system, we were able to purify both known iron-responsive proteins (IRPs) from rat liver and assess their binding affinity to RNA containing the iron-responsive element (IRE) using the same batch of biotinylated RNA. We show data indicating that agarose is especially useful for cases when large complexes are formed, although smaller complexes are even better resolved. 相似文献

Monolithic media have found widespread use as excellent tools for fast analytical separations of small molecules, proteins, pDNA and viruses. Polymethacrylate monoliths with large channels are attractive for capturing large molecules, like immunoglobulins, DNA, and viruses. For preparative purposes, these monoliths are operated in radial flow mode. Band spreading in monoliths is extremely low and mostly dominated by the contribution of extra column effects. The model used here had a single axial dispersion coefficient which lumps together extra column effects and the intrinsic band spreading of the monolithic material to characterize the adsorption of proteins and pDNA on polymethacrylate ion-exchange monoliths. Due to the fact that the performance of the monolith was unaffected by the velocity within the applied range, and due to highly favourable adsorption isotherms, a constant pattern model could be applied to predict preparative runs on radial flow units assuming axial flow for modelling. 相似文献

The transient electric birefringence of low electroendosmosis (LE) agarose gels oriented by pulsed unidirectional electric fields was described in detail in Part I [J. Stellwagen and N. C. Stellwagen (1994), Biopolymers, Vol. 34, p. 187]. Here, the birefringence of LE agarose gels in rapidly reversing electric fields, similar in amplitude and duration to those used for field inversion gel electrophoresis, is reported. Symmetric reversing electric fields cause the sign of the birefringence of LE agarose gels, and hence the direction of orientation of the agarose fibers, to Oscillate in phase with the applied electric field. Because of long-lasting memory effects, the alternating sign of the birefringence appears to be due to metastable changes in gel structure induced by the electric field. If the reversing field pulses are equal in amplitude but different in duration, the orientation behavior depends critically on the applied voltage. If E < 7 V/cm, the amplitude of the birefringence gradually decreases with increasing pulse number and becomes unmeasurably small. However, if E > 7 V/cm, the amplitude of the birefringence increase more than 10-fold after ~ 20 pulses have been applied to the gel, suggesting that a cooperative change in gel structure has occurred. Because there is no concomitant change birefringence must be due to an increase in the number of agarose fibers and /or fiber bundles orienting in the lectric field, which in turn indicates a cooperatice breakdown of the noncovalent “junction zones” that corss-link the fibers in to the fgel matrix. The sign of the birefringence of LE agarose gels is always positive after extensive junction zone breakdown, indicating that the agarose fibers and fiber bundles preferentially orient parallel to the lectric field when they are freed from the constraints of the gel matrix. Three other gel-forming polymers, high electroendosmosis (HEEO) agarose (a more highly changed agarose), β-carrageenan (a stereoisomer of agarose), and polyacrylamide (a chemically corss-linked polymer) were alos studied in unidirectional and rapidly reversing electric fields. The birefringence of HEEO agarose backbone chain. The β-carrageenan gels exhibit variable orientation behavior in reversing electric fields, suggesting that its internal gel structure is not as tightly interconnected as that of agaroise gels. Both HEEO agarose and β-carrageenan gels exhibit a large increase in the amplitude of the birefringence with increasing pulse number when asymmetric reversing pulses > 7 V/cm are applied to the gels, suggesting that junction zone breakdown in a common feature of polysaccharide gels. Chemically cross-linked polyacrylamide gels exhibit very small birefringence signals, indicating that very little orientation occurs in pulsed lectric fields. The sign of the birefringence is independent of the polarity of the lectric field, as expected from the Kerr law, and normal orientation behavior is observed in reversing electric fields. Hence, the anomalous change in sign of the birefringence observed for agarose gels in reversing electric fields must be due to the metastable junction zones in the agarose gel matrix, which allow gel fiber rearrangements to occur. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
