A chitosanolytic enzyme was purified from a commercial ficin preparation by affinity chromatographic removal of cysteine protease on pHMB-Sepharose 4B and cystatin-Sepharose 4B and gel filtration on Superdex 75 HR. The purified enzyme exhibited both chitinase and chitosanase activities, as determined by SDS-PAGE and gel activity staining. The optimal pH for chitosan hydrolysis was 4.5, whereas the optimal temperature was 65 degrees C. The enzyme was thermostable, as it retained almost all of its activity after incubation at 70 degrees C for 30 min. A protein oxidizing agent, N-bromosuccinimide (0.25 mM), significantly inhibited the enzyme's activity. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 16.6 kDa, as estimated by gel filtration. The enzyme showed activity toward chitosan polymers exhibiting various degrees of deacetylation (22-94%), most effectively hydrolyzing chitosan polymers that were 52-70% deacetylated. The end products of the hydrolysis catalyzed by this enzyme were low molecular weight chitosan polymers and oligomers (11.2-0.7 kDa).  相似文献

A hydrolase with chitinase and chitosanase activity was purified from commercial stem bromelain through sequential steps of SP-Sepharose ion-exchange adsorption, HiLoad Superdex 75 gel filtration, HiLoad Q Sepharose ion-exchange chromatography, and Superdex 75 HR gel filtration. The purified hydrolase was homogeneous, as examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme exhibited chitinase activity for hydrolysis of glycol chitin and 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-N,N',N' '-triacetylchitotrioside [4-MU-beta-(GlcNAc)(3)] and chitosanase activity for chitosan hydrolysis. For glycol chitin hydrolysis, the enzyme had an optimal pH of 4, an optimal temperature of 60 degrees C, and a K(m) of 0.2 mg/mL. For the 4-MU-beta-(GlcNAc)(3) hydrolysis, the enzyme had an optimal pH of 4 and an optimal temperature of 50 degrees C. For the chitosan hydrolysis, the enzyme had an optimal pH of 3, an optimal temperature of 50 degrees C, and a K(m) of 0.88 mg/mL. For hydrolysis of chitosans with various N-acetyl contents, the enzyme degraded 30-80% deacetylated chitosan most effectively. The enzyme split chitin or chitosan in an endo-manner. The molecular mass of the enzyme estimated by gel filtration was 31.4 kDa, and the isoelectric point estimated by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis was 5.9. Heavy metal ions of Hg(2+) and Ag(+), p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid, and N-bromosuccinimide significantly inhibited the enzyme activity.  相似文献

A novel protease is purified to homogeneity from the latex of a medicinally important plant Cryptolepis buchanani of family Apocynaceae (formerly Asclepiadaceae). The enzyme named cryptolepain has a molecular mass of 50.5 kDa. The isoelectric point and extinction coefficient (epsilon280nm1%) are 6.0 and 26.4, respectively. Cryptolepain contains 15 tryptophans, 41 tyrosines, and eight cysteine residues forming four disulfide bridges. The detectable carbohydrate moiety in the enzyme was found to be 6-7%. Cryptolepain hydrolyzes denatured natural substrates like casein, azocasein, and azoalbumin with high specific activity. The protease is exclusively inhibited by serine protease inhibitors phenylmethansulfonyl fluoride and diisopropyl fluorophosphate. Hydrolysis of azoalbumin by the cryptolepain is optimal in the pH range of 8-10 and temperatures of 65-75 degrees C. The enzyme shows high stability against pH (2.5-11.5), temperature (up to 80 degrees C), and chemical denaturants. The Km value of the enzyme was found to be 10 microM with azocasein as the substrate. The N-terminal sequence of cryptolepain is unique and shows only little homology to other known serine proteases, which makes this enzyme an ideal candidate for our ongoing biochemical and structure-function investigations of proteases. Easy availability of the latex and simple purification procedures make the enzyme a good system for exploring the biophysical chemistry of serine proteases as well as applications in the food industry.  相似文献

The structure and solubility of helianthinin, the most abundant protein of sunflower seeds, was investigated as a function of pH and temperature. Dissociation of the 11S form (hexamer) into the 7S form (trimer) gradually increased with increasing pH from 5.8 to 9.0. High ionic strength (I = 250 mM) stabilizes the 11S form at pH > 7.0. Heating and low pH resulted in dissociation into the monomeric constituents (2-3S). Next, the 7S and 11S forms of helianthinin were isolated and shown to differ in their secondary and tertiary structure, and to have denaturation temperatures (T(d)) of 65 and 90 degrees C, respectively. Furthermore, the existence of two populations of the monomeric form of helianthinin with denaturation temperatures of 65 and 90 degrees C was described. This leads to the hypothesis that helianthinin can adopt two different conformational states: one with T(d) = 65 degrees C and a second with T(d) = 90 degrees C.  相似文献

A trehalose synthase (TSase) gene from a hyperacidophilic, thermophilic archaea, Picrophilus torridus, was synthesized using overlap extension PCR and transformed into Escherichia coli for expression. The purified recombinant P. torridus TSase (PTTS) showed an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 and 45 degrees C, respectively, and the enzyme maintained high activity at pH 5.0 and 60 degrees C. Kinetic analysis showed that the enzyme has a 2.5-fold higher catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(M)) for maltose than for trehalose, indicating maltose as the preferred substrate. The maximum conversion rate of maltose into trehalose by the enzyme was independent of the substrate concentration, tended to increase at lower temperatures, and reached approximately 71% at 20 degrees C. Enzyme activity was inhibited by Hg2+, Al3+, and SDS. Five amino acid residues that are important for alpha-amylase family enzyme catalysis were shown to be conserved in PTTS (Asp203, Glu245, Asp311, His106, and His310) and required for its activity, suggesting this enzyme might employ a similar hydrolysis mechanism.  相似文献

A new serine protease from the latex of Ipomoea carnea spp. fistulosa (Morning glory), belonging to the Convolvulaceae family, was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by cation exchange chromatography. The enzyme, named carnein, has a molecular mass of 80.24 kDa (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) and an isoelectric point of pH 5.6. The pH and temperature optima for proteolytic activity were 6.5 and 65 degrees C, respectively. The extinction coefficient (epsilon2801%) of the enzyme was estimated as 37.12, and the protein molecule consists of 35 tryptophan, 76 tyrosine, and seven cysteine residues. The effect of several inhibitors such as iodoacetic acid, diisopropylfluorophosphate, phenyl-methanesulfonyl fluoride, chymostatin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, HgCl2, 3S-3-(N-{(S)-1-[N-(4-guanidinobutyl)carbamoyl]3-ethylbutyl}carbamoyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid, N-ethyl maleimide, ethylene glycol-bis(alpha-amino ethyl ether)tetraacetic acid, ethylenediamminetetraacetic acid, and o-phenonthroline indicates that carnein belongs to the family of serine proteases. The enzyme is not prone to autolysis even at very low concentrations. The N-terminal sequence of carnein (T-T-H-S-P-E-F-L-G-L-A-E-S-S-G-L-X-P-N-S) exhibited considerable similarity to those of other plant serine proteases; the highest similarity was with alnus AG12, one of the subtilase family endopepetidases.  相似文献

Three chitosanases designated PSC-I, PSC-II, and PSC-III were purified from commercial pepsin preparation by sequentially applying pepstatin A-agarose affinity chromotography, DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography, Mono Q column chromatography, and Mono P chromatofocusing. With respect to chitosan hydrolysis, the optimal pHs were 5.0, 5.0, and 4.0 for PSC-I, PSC-II, and PSC-III, respectively; optimal temperatures were 40, 40, and 30 degrees C; and the Km's were 5.2, 4.0, and 5.6 mg/mL. The molecular masses of the three isozymes were approximately 40 kDa, as estimated by both gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, and the isoelectric points were 4.9, 4.6, and 4.4, respectively, as estimated by isoelectrofocusing electrophoresis. All three chitosanase isozymes showed activity toward chitosan polymer and N,N",N' "-triacetylchitotriose oligomer. Most effectively hydrolyzed were chitosan polymers that were 68-88% deacetylated.  相似文献

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was purified and characterized from Chinese cabbage by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Toyopearl 650M column chromatography. Substrate staining of the crude protein extract showed the presence of three isozymic forms of this enzyme. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be approximately 65 kDa by gel filtration on Toyopearl HW-55F. On SDS-PAGE analysis, this enzyme was composed of a subunit molecular weight of 65 kDa. The optimum pH was 5.0, and this enzyme was stable at pH 6.0 but was unstable below pH 4.0 or above pH 7.0. The optimum temperature was 40 degrees C. Heat inactivation studies showed temperatures >40 degrees C resulted in loss of enzyme activity. PPO showed activity to catechol, pyrogallol, and dopamine (K(m) and V(max) values were 682.5 mM and 67.6 OD/min for catechol, 15.4 mM and 14.1 OD/min for pyrogallol, and 62.0 mM and 14.9 OD/min for dopamine, respectively). The most effective inhibitor was 2-mercaptoethanol, followed in decreasing order by ascorbic acid, glutathione, and L-cysteine. The enzyme activity of the preparation was maintained for 2 days at 4 degrees C but showed a sudden decreased after 3 days.  相似文献

Chitosan, a linear polysaccharide composed of beta-1,4 linked d-glucosamine residues, can be depolymerized into oligomers by enzymatic reaction with chitosanase. Recently, bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) has been used for chitosan solubilization and for terminating the enzymatic reaction by action of electrogenerated acid and base, respectively. The aim of the present study was to test a complete "3-in-1" process using a three-compartment BMED configuration to perform simultaneously the solubilization of chitosan, the inactivation of chitosanase, and the demineralization of the oligomers. In addition, the BMED process was compared to a conventional process using chemical acid and base. The BMED method was found to be as effective as the conventional method for solubilizing the chitosan and for inactivating the chitosanase. Furthermore, the use of BMED allowed a demineralization rate of 53% of the chito-oligomer solution in the diluate compartment. A global process of chitosan hydrolysis into its oligomers using a BMED system was proposed. This technology has great potential for industrial application in chitosan oligomer preparation, because it is convenient and ecological and it produces chito-oligomers with a lower mineral content compared with the conventional method.  相似文献

The Pediococcus pentosaceus ACCEL bacteriocin was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity by cell adsorption-desorption and Superose 12 fast performance liquid chromatography (FPLC). The purified bacteriocin, with a molecular mass of 17.5 kDa and an N-terminal sequence of -KYYGNGVTXGKHSXXVDXG-, belongs to class IIa and is designated pediocin ACCEL. It was inactivated by various proteases and stable at pH 2.0-6.0 and <100 degrees C. More than 80% activity was left even after 15 min of heating at 121 degrees C and pH 2.0-4.0. Gram-positive food-borne pathogens were inhibited by this bacteriocin, but Gram-negative ones were not. According to the storage stability study, the purified pediocin was stable at pH <6.0 and low temperature. No significant change in bactericidal activity was observed after freeze-drying and subsequent 1-month storage at room temperature.  相似文献

Xylooligosaccharides are produced for use as a valuable food sweetener or additive. They have many beneficial biomedical and health effects. In this study, a process for producing xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulolytic agricultural waste was developed. Bagasse, corncob, wheat bran, and peanut shell were used as carbon sources for production of xylanolytic enzymes from Thermobifida fusca NTU22. When using bagasse as the carbon source, the xylanolytic enzymes that simultaneously accumulated in the broth in a 500 mL Hinton flask after 72 h of cultivation at 50 degrees C were measured as xylanase (14.0 U/mL), beta-xylosidase (74.1 mU/mL), and acetyl esterase (29.1 mU/mL). The optimum pH and temperature for xylanases were 6.0-8.0 and 70 degrees C, respectively. Six proteins with xylanase activity were identified by zymogram analysis of isoelectric focusing gel. This was followed by heat treatment at 70 degrees C for 30 min that eliminated 90% of the beta-xylosidase activity. The xylanase and acetyl esterase activities were still 100%. Two percent of xylan extracted from the bagasse was then hydrolyzed by heat-treated crude xylanase preparation at 60 degrees C, pH 7.0, for 10 h. The xylooligosaccharides that accumulated in the broth were about 23.7%. After the purification process by activated charcoal chromatography, the purity of xylooligosaccharides was 71.4%.  相似文献

We have previously cloned and characterized the cDNAs of three isoforms of the 8S globulin of mungbean, expressed the major 8Salpha isoform in Escherichia coli, and purified and successfully crystallized it (Bernardo, A. E. N.; Garcia, R. N.; Adachi, M.; Angeles, J. G. C.; Kaga, A; Ishimoto, M.; Utsumi, S.; Tecson-Mendoza, E. M. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004, 52, 2552-2560). Herein, we report the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of the native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulin or vicilin. The circular dichroism spectra analysis of the native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulins revealed that the recombinant 8Salpha formed a secondary structure close to that of the native 8S. Further, gel filtration analysis showed that 8Salpha was able to assemble into trimers. The native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulins were soluble at pH 3.4 and at pH 7.4-9.0 at low ionic strength, mu = 0.08. Interestingly, the native 8S was more soluble at pH 7.0 and pH 7.4 than the recombinant 8Salpha at mu = 0.08. Both forms were very soluble at pH 3.4-9.0 at high ionic strength, mu = 0.50. The native form exhibited a higher T(m) (69.2, 79.5, and 83.8 degrees C) than the recombinant form (65.6, 71.6, 77.5 degrees C) at mu = 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5, respectively. The recombinant form was found to have greater surface hydrophobicity than the native form. There was little difference in the emulsifying ability between the native 8S and 8Salpha at pH 3.4 and pH 7.6. The results indicate that the presence of N-linked glycans is not essential in the assembly and stable conformation of the mungbean vicilin. However, the N-linked glycans might have contributed to the higher solubility at low ionic strength, greater thermal stability, and decreased surface hydrophobicity of the native vicilin as compared to the recombinant 8Salpha. On the other hand, the N-linked glycans showed little effect on the emulsifying ability of the protein.  相似文献

Trypsin from the pyloric ceca of Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) was purified and characterized with respect to its purity; molecular weight; sensitivity to temperature, pH, and inhibition; and N-terminal sequence. The purified trypsin had a molecular weight of 29 kDa as per sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and optimal activity was observed at pH 9 and 65 degrees C with BAPNA as a substrate. The enzyme was stable to heat treatment up to 50 degrees C and within the pH range of 7-12. It was stabilized by calcium ions, but its activity was strongly inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor, N-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, and phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride. The enzyme exhibited a progressive decrease in activity with increasing NaCl concentration (0-30%). The N-terminal 20 amino acid residues of Atlantic bonito trypsin were determined as IVGGYECQAHSQPWQPVLNS and were homologous with other trypsins.  相似文献

The kinetics of N immobilisation/mineralisation for cellulose-, glucose- and straw-amended sandy soils were investigated in a series of laboratory incubations. Three Scottish soils expected to exhibit a range of biological activity were used: a loamy sand, intensively cropped horticultural soil subject to large inputs of inorganic fertilisers and pesticides (Balmalcolm - pH 7.2, organic matter 3.3%); a sandy loam soil highly enriched with organic manures and used for organic vegetable production (Strathmiglo - pH 7.1, organic matter 7.3%); and a loamy sand soil of low fertility in a zero-grazing, low intensity organic ley-arable rotation (Aldrochty pH 6.0, organic matter 5.0%). Incubations of soils with 1,000 mg cellulose-C kg-1 soil at 8°C, showed peak N immobilisation of 71Lj, 92Lj and 65ᆣ mg N g-1 added C for the Balmalcolm (after 34 days), Strathmiglo (after 34 days) and Aldrochty soils (after 63 days). The N remineralisation by the end of the incubation (>300 days) was 0, 50 and 22 mg N g-1 cellulose-C in the Balmalcolm, Strathmiglo soil and Aldrochty soils, respectively. Only about 30% of the N immobilisation could be explained by soil microbial biomass N accumulation (much less than expected from model simulations). The C/N ratio of the extra microbial biomass was quite wide (19). Bacterial, protozoan and nematode biomass accounted for only 18%, 0.1% and 0.5% of the extra C immobilisation, respectively. These data suggest that fungal biomass growth and deposition of recalcitrant fungal metabolites are the main sinks for the N immobilised. With 1,000 mg glucose-C kg -1 added to the Balmalcolm soil, about 75 mg N g-1 added C were immobilised after 6 days. Under less well aerated conditions at 15°C, immobilisation of only 10-20 mg N g-1 added cellulose C took place in 2-4 weeks, but soluble organic C increased greatly. The N remineralised after 4-6 weeks.  相似文献

An isoflavone conjugates hydrolyzing beta-glucosidase (ICHG) from endophytic bacterium, Pseudomonas ZD-8 was purified to homogeneity by successive ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on SephadexG-100, DEAE-sephrose CL-6B and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. The enzyme was a monomeric protein with an apparent molecular mass of 33 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. It was optimally active at pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C and had a specific activity of 1485 U mg of protein(-1) against genistin. The ICHG readily hydrolyzed rho-nitrophenyl-beta-glucoside, rho-nitrophenyl-beta-galactoside, genistin, daidzin, with Km values of 1.64, 1.87, 0.012, 0.014 mM, respectively. The ICHG showed a pronounced specificity for glucose in the 7-position of isoflavone and flavone conjugates and hydrolyzed effectively malonyl isoflavone glucosides as well as isoflavone glucosides with similar kinetics. Glucose and glucono-delta-lactone inhibited the enzyme competitively with Ki values of 84 mM and 23 mM, respectively. The enzyme did not require divalent cations for activity, and its activity was strongly inhibited by Hg2+, Ag+, rho-chloromercuribenzoate, iodoacetic acid, and N-ethylmaleimide while reducing agents such as beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, dithioerythritol, glutathione slightly activated the enzyme.  相似文献

A cDNA encoding a putative dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) was cloned from sweet potato. The deduced protein showed a high level of sequence homology with DHARs from other plants (67 to approximately 81%). Functional sweet potato DHAR was overexpressed and purified. The purified enzyme showed an active monomeric form on a 12% native PAGE. The protein's half-life of deactivation at 50 degrees C was 10.1 min, and its thermal inactivation rate constant K(d) was 6.4 x 10(-2) min(-1). The enzyme was stable in a broad pH range from 6.0-11.0 and in the presence of 0.8 M imidazole. The K(m) values for DHA and GSH were 0.19 and 2.38 mM, respectively.  相似文献

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) pericarp was characterized using (-)-epicatechin, which was the major endogenous polyphenol in litchi pericarp as a substrate. The optimum pH for PPO activity with (-)-epicatechin was 7.5, and the enzyme was unstable below pH 4.5 and stable in the pH range of 6.0-8.0. Residual activities of PPO were 86.25, 86.31, and 80.17% after 67 days of incubation at 4 degrees C at pH 6.0, 7.5, and 8.0, respectively. From thermostability studies, the Ki value increased with temperature and the results suggested that the enzyme was unstable above 45 degrees C. Moreover, the results also provided strong evidence that the denaturalization temperature of PPO was near 70 degrees C. The inhibition studies indicated that l-cysteine and glutathione were strong inhibitors even at low concentrations while NaF inhibited moderately. In addition, the results also indicated that the inhibition mechanisms of thiol groups were different from those of halide salts.  相似文献
