An endo-cellulase [EC 3.2.1.4.] of carboxymethyl-cellulase type (F-1) which was fractionated from culture filtrate of Irpex lacetus and purified to electrophoretic and ultracentrifugal homogeneity, was found to show xylanase [EC 3.2.1.8.] activity. The activity was not removed from any of the intermediate fractions during the purification of the initial F-I peak, and the radio of xylanase to cellulase activity remained almost unchanged through the purification processes. The xylanase activity of F-I showed not only the same optiomal pH, heat stability, and pH stability as its cellulase activity, but also the same mobility as the cellulase activity upon cellulose acetate film and starch zone electrophoreses. The overall rates of hydrolysis of mixtures of variouis concentrations of CM-cellulose and xylan by F-1 coincided well with those calculated from the Michaelis-Menten treatment of two substances competing for the same active site of the enzyme. These results indicate that the xylanase activity of F-1 is intrinsic to the cellulase itself. 相似文献

Biochemical analysis of the H-2K-gene product from the MHC mutant strainbml and from the C57BL/6 parent strain has been carried out in order to characterize the structural differences between parent and mutant K-gene products. Based on comparative tryptic peptide mapping of the cyanogen bromide fragments from these glycoproteins, two peptide differences were localized to the CN-Ia fragment. Partial amino-acid sequence analysis revealed two alterations in the primary structure of Kbml involving substitutions of tyrosine for arginine at position 155, and tyrosine for leucine at position 156. Both of these amino-acid replacements require a minimum of two nucleotide base changes at the nucleic acid level. These changes were the only alterations noted differentiating the Kbml and Kb glycoproteins. However, because our techniques allow us to analyze only 75 to 80 percent of the extra cellular portion of H-2Kb, it is possible there are other undetected changes. Nonetheless, the biochemical data are consistent with the hypothesis that the structural alterations noted in the Kbml mutant glycoprotein are directly related to the observed immunological specificity relative to the parent Kb molecule. Peptide comparisons of the Kb molecules of two C57BL/6 sublines and of the H-2b lymphoblastoid cell line, EL-4, disclosed no difference. 相似文献

A study to assess which environmental or developmental factors predominate in the biosynthesis of lipids of Laminaria japonica Aresch. blades was undertaken by means of 14C-labelling technique. In experiment 1, kelp blades at different growth stages were collected in different cultural seasons. In experiment 2, kelp blades of different sizes and maturity cultured simultaneously for two months in the same sea area were collected at the same time.The following results were obtained. In experiment 1, the 14C-incorporation into whole lipids was lowest in juvenile blades collected at the end of autumn and highest in blades of middle size collected in winter. However, the highest counts were incorporated in PC among complex lipid classes from all size classes of blades in both experiments 1 and 2. In experiment 2, 14C-incorporation patterns of individual lipid classes were characteristically different depending on the sizes of blades even under the same cultural condition. Thus, the biosynthesis of lipids in this kelp seems to be affected essentially by developmental factors.Abbreviation Comp. lip.

An exo-type cellulase (Ex-1) was extracted from Irpex lacteus (Polyporus tulipiferae) and purified essentially to homogeneity. This cellulase attacked cellulosic substrates in an exo-wise fashion to produce almost exclusively cellobiose. In contrast, Ex-1 was found to attack beta-glucans having beta-(1----3)- and beta-(1----4)-mixed linkages in a way similar to an endo-type cellulase. The products formed from barley glucan by Ex-1 were 3(2)-O-beta-D-cellobiosyl-cellobiose much greater than 3(2)-O-beta-D-glucosyl-cellobiose greater than cellobiose much greater than or equal to cellotriose much greater than glucose in the early stage, but no laminaribiose was produced. An endo-type cellulase (En-1) obtained from the same fungus also hydrolyzed beta-glucans but in a typical endo-wise fashion and the products from barley glucan were 3(2)-O-beta-D-glucosyl-cellobiose much greater than 3(2)-O-beta-D-cellobiosyl-cellobiose greater than cellobiose much greater than laminaribiose; no glucose or cellotriose was produced. Thus, it seems likely that En-1 can attack any intramolecular linkage of beta-glucan, while Ex-1 requires the presence of at least cellobiosyl residues adjacent to a beta-(1----3)-D-linked glucosyl residue. This finding, together with the mode of hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates by Ex-1, suggests that the stereochemical structure of successive beta-(1----4)-cellobiosyl residues inserted by beta-(1----3)-D-glucosidic linkage is permissible in the action of Ex-1, although this enzyme prefers the beta-(1----4)-linked cellobiosyl sequence. 相似文献

Seasonal variation in major lipid constituents of nutritional importance in culturedLaminaria japonica Aresch., such as fatty acids, sterols, -carotene and tocopherol, were investigated from December to October, the growing season. The total and saturated fatty acid contents were minimal in midsummer. Mono-unsaturated fatty acids gradually increased from late summer to autumn. The polyunsaturated fatty acid content (PUFA, (n-6) family) was maximal during warm months, while (n-3) PUFAs were most abundant during the cold months when algal thalli were very young, and decreased gradually toward October when sori had developed. Fucosterol content was maximum from February to June, but decreased steeply by nearly a half toward October, when 24-methylene cholesterol was highest although much less than fucosterol. The -carotene and tocopherol contents were maximal from July to September and slight during the winter. 相似文献

We examined the antimicrobial effects of human -defensin-2 (hBD-2) on 17 species of oral streptococci to investigate the involvement of antimicrobial peptide activity in oral microflora development and the clinical use of the antimicrobial peptide for oral microflora control. Oral streptococci exhibit diverse levels of susceptibility to human -defensin-2 (hBD-2). Two major cariogenic bacterial species, Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and S. sobrinus, were found to be susceptible to the peptide, indicating that it is a potential therapeutic agent for preventing dental caries. S. mitis exhibited the lowest susceptibility to the peptide. S. mitis is a major indigenous bacterium in the oral microflora, and our results suggest that it might possess a certain resistance mechanism against hBD-2. 相似文献

Two highly purified cellulases [EC 3.2.1.4], II-A, and II-B, were obtained from the cellulase system of Trichoderma viride. Both cellulases split cellopentaose retaining the beta-configuration of the anomeric carbon atoms in the hydrolysis products at both pH 3.5 and 5.0. The Km values of cellulases II-A and II-B for cellotetraose were different, but their Vmax values were similar and those for cellooligosaccharides increased in parallel with chain length. Both cellulases produced predominantly cellobiose and glucose from various cellulosic substrates as well as from higher cellooligosaccharides. Cellulase II-A preferentially attacked the holoside linkage of rho-nitrophenyl beta-D-cellobioside, whereas cellulase II-B attacked mainly the aglycone linkage of this cellobioside. Both cellulases were found to catalyze the synthesis of cellotriose from rho-nitrophenyl beta-D-cellobioside by transfer of a glucosyl residue, possibly to cellobiose produced in the reaction mixture. They were also found to catalyze the rapid synthesis of cellotetraose from cellobiose, with accompanying formation of cellotriose and glucose, which seemed to be produced by secondary random hydrolysis of the cellotetraose produced. The capacity to synthesize cellotetraose from cellobiose appeared to be greater with cellulase II-B than with cellulase II-A. 相似文献

From the spleen cells of C57BL/6 (B6) mice, T-cell clones were established which responded to mutant H-2K antigen of B6. B-H-2bml (Hz1) mice. One clone and its subclones were maintained in culture medium containing lower concentration (2.5%) of IL-2 (culture supernatant of rat spleen cells stimulated with concanavalin A). They were shown to have a capability to induce graft-versus-host reaction in (B6 X Hz1)F1 recipients as well as to exert cytotoxicity against concanavalin-A-activated spleen cells of Hz1 mice and also their kidney fibroblasts. They lacked cytotoxicity against syngeneic and also third-party Con-A-stimulated spleen cells. These reactive clones were Thy-1.2 and Lyt-2 positive and Lyt-1 negative. On the other hand, clones which were maintained in culture medium containing higher concentration (20%) of IL-2 were devoid of activities in vivo as well as in vitro. These clones were Thy-1.2 positive but Lyt-1.2 and Lyt-2.2 negative. 相似文献

Antitumor activity of marine algae 总被引:14,自引:2,他引:14
Powdered tissue from 46 species of air-dried marine algae (four green, 21 brown and 21 red algae) were screened for antitumor activity. Significant activity against Ehrlich carcinoma was found in the brown algae Scytosiphon lomentaria (69.8% inhibition), Lessonia nigrescens (60.0%), Laminaria japonica (57.6%), Sargassum ringgoldianum (46.5%), the red algae Porphyra yezoensis (53.2%) and Eucheuma gelatinae (52.1%) and the green alga Enteromorpha prolifera (51.7%). Five brown and four red algae showed appreciable antitumor activity against Meth-A fibrosarcoma. To identify specific molecules with antitumor activity, 15 kinds of polysaccharide preparations of seaweed origin and 24 kinds of lipid fractions extracted from various seaweeds were tested. Appreciable inhibition of Ehrlich carcinoma was found for fucoidan preparations from Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum ringgoldianum, for carrageenans and for porphyran. Several glycolipid and phospholipid fractions from brown and red algae were effective against Meth-A fibrosarcoma. 相似文献

The adsorption mode of two highly purified cellulases, exo- and endo-type cellulases, from Irpex lacteus (Polyporus tulipiferae) was investigated by using pure cellulosic materials with different crystallinity as substrates. Adsorption of the two enzymes on the substrates was found to fit the Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm. Maximum amount of adsorbed enzyme obtained from the Langmuir plots showed an inverse correlation to the crystallinity of the substrate with both enzymes, and this value of endo-type cellulase was less dependent on the degree of crystallinity of substrates than that of exo-type cellulase, whose isotherms reached saturation in the range of low enzyme concentrations. The two enzymes showed relatively high affinities for all the substrates and their affinities increased with increasing crystallinity, but this tendency was less marked with endo-type cellulase than with exo-type one. In addition, large negative values of free energy change were observed on the adsorption of both enzymes, and the values became more negative with increasing crystallinity. Consequently, both cellulases showed high adsorption on crystalline cellulose and the adsorption process became smoother with increasing crystallinity. The adsorption of the two types of cellulases was endothermic with an increase in entropy, especially for amorphous cellulose, suggesting the occurrence of water release from the substrates during enzyme adsorption. In addition, the changes in thermodynamic parameters (delta H, delta S, and delta G) in adsorption of exo-type cellulase were larger than in that of endo-type enzyme. 相似文献
