Using nine different l-aminoacyl-4-nitroanilides and four different dipeptidyl-4-nitroanilides, aminopeptidases and dipeptidyl aminopeptidases active at pH 7.5 and (or) pH 5.5 in logarithmically growing and stationary-phase cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were searched for. Ion-exchange chromatography was used to separate the proteins of the soluble cell extract. Besides the three already-characterized aminopeptidases—aminopeptidase I (P. Matile, A. Wiemken, and W. Guyer (1971) Planta (Berlin)96, 43–53; J. Frey and K. H. Röhm (1978) Biochim. Biophys. Acta527, 31–41), aminopeptidase II (J. Frey and K. H. Röhm (1978) Biochim. Biophys. Acta527, 31–41; J. Knüver (1982) Thesis, Fachbereich Chemie, Marburg, FRG), and aminopeptidase Co (T. Achstetter, C. Ehmann, and D. H. Wolf (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.109, 341–347)—12 additional aminopeptidase activities are found in soluble cell extracts eluting from the ion-exchange column. These activities differ from the characterized aminopeptidases in one or more of the parameters such as charge, size, substrate specificity, inhibition pattern, pH optimum for activity and regulation. Also, a particulate aminopeptidase, called aminopeptidase P, is found in the nonsoluble fraction of disintegrated cells. Besides the described particulate X-prolyl-dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (M. P. Suarez Rendueles, J. Schwencke, N. Garcia-Alvarez and S. Gascon (1981) FEBS Lett.131, 296–300), three additional dipeptidyl aminopeptidase activities of different substrate specificities are found in the soluble extract. 相似文献

Summary A 500 MHz 2D1H NMR study of recombinant insect defensin A is reported. This defense protein of 40 residues contains 3 disulfide bridges, is positively charged and exhibits antibacterial properties. 2D NMR maps of recombinant defensin A were fully assigned and secondary structure elements were localized. The set of NOE connectivities,3JNH-H coupling constants as well as1H/2H exchange rates and /T temperature coefficients of NH protons strongly support the existence of an -helix (residues 14–24) and of an antiparallel -sheet (residues 27–40). Models of the backbone folding were generated by using the DISMAN program and energy refined by using the AMBER program. This was done on the basis of: (i) 133 selected NOEs, (ii) 21 dihedral restraints from3JNH-H coupling constants, (iii) 12 hydrogen bonds mostly deduced from1H/2H exchange rates or temperature coefficients, in addition to 9 initial disulfide bridge covalent constraints. The two secondary structure elements and the two bends connecting them involve approximately 70% of the total number of residues, which impose some stability in the C-terminal part of the molecule. The remaining N-terminal fragment forms a less well defined loop. This spatial organization, in which a -sheet is linked to an -helix by two disulfide bridges and to a large loop by a third disulfide bridge, is rather similar to that found in scorpion charybdotoxin and seems to be partly present in several invertebrate toxins.Abbreviations SCUBA

Yeast mutants lacking three proteolytic enzymes—proteinase B, carboxypeptidase Y, and carboxypeptidase S—have been constructed. Search for new proteolytic activities in these mutants with the aid of chromogenic peptide substrates developed for serum proteinases led to the detection of new proteolytic activities, active in the neutral pH range. Sephadex chromatography of a 100,000g supernate of mutant extracts, tests against four different substrates, and partial characterization of their sensitivity to various inhibitors indicate multiple activities. Two activities, called proteinase M and proteinase P, were found in the sedimentable membranous fraction of mutant extracts. 相似文献

The cDNA coding for the human 3beta-hydroxy-5-ene steroid dehydrogenase/5-ene-4-ene steroid isomerase (3beta-HSD) has been expressed in yeast. When expressed from identical vectors except for the coding sequence, the specific activity of the type I is lower than that of the type II enzyme. A mutant of the human 3beta-HSD type II lacking the putative membrane spanning domain 1 was generated by site directed mutagenesis: its apparent K(m) for pregnenolone (PREG) is significantly increased and its V reduced to the level of the type I enzyme. The influence of the kinetic properties of 3beta-HSD in the accumulation of 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone was probed by co-expression of the bovine 17alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (P45017alpha) cDNA. The metabolism of PREG was followed with time using the membrane fraction. Kinetic properties of the 3beta-HSD were modulated such that its activity was in excess, limiting or balanced with respect to the activity of the P45017alpha and the accumulation of intermediates and products recorded. Conditions for the generation of the by-products resulting from the 17,20-Lyase activity of the P45017alpha were found. The potential applications of the system are discussed. 相似文献

Yeast has been analysed for its potential to secrete an ovine member of the type-I interferon (IFN) family, trophoblastin (oTP-1). The processing potential of the yeast KEX2 gene product (KEX2p) was evaluated using gene oTP-1 fused to the pre-pro sequence encoding the pre-pro peptide of the yeast alpha-factor precursor. High-level accumulation of nonprocessed (unmatured) recombinant oTP-1 (re-oTP-1) was observed in the medium. In order to short-circuit the limiting activity of KEX2p and to obtain a fully matured re-oTP-1, secretion was directed using a pre::oTP-1 fusion, relying only on signal peptidase-dependent processing. However, secretion of oTP-1 was impaired. High-level secretion was restored when the gene product contained a peptide spacer between oTP-1 and the signal peptidase cleavage site. The oTP-1 variant was shown to have an extended N terminus. An N-extended form was examined further and shown to have the correct size. Surprisingly, the variant retained its in vitro and in vivo biological activities. This system is likely to represent a general method for high-level secretion of type-I IFNs. 相似文献
