Abstract: | collagenase has been chemically modified with a series of reagents to identify essential amino acid residues. The activity of the enzyme is not significantly altered by the seryl reagents diisopropylfluorophosphate and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, the cysteinyl reagents p-chloromercuribenzoate and iodoacetamide, or the arginyl reagents butanedione and phenylglyoxal. The enzyme is inactivated by 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide and N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3′-sulfonate, indicating the presence of an essential carboxyl residue. Both acetylimidazole and tetranitromethane inactivate the enzyme and the acetylimidazole reaction is reversed by hydroxylamine, indicating that collagenase contains an essential tyrosyl residue. In addition, acylation of the enzyme by diethylpyrocarbonate, diketene and acetic anhydride markedly lowers activity, which cannot be restored by hydroxylamine. This indicates that collagenase contains an essential lysyl residue, a conclusion supported by the fact that trinitrobenzene sulfonate also inactivates the enzyme. |
