Trypsin from tongol tuna (Thunnus tonggol) spleen was purified to 402-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by a series of chromatographic separations. The molecular mass of trypsin was estimated to be 24 kDa by size-exclusion chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Trypsin appearing as a single band on native PAGE showed the maximal activity at pH 8.5 and 65 degrees C. It was stable in a wide pH range of 6-11 but unstable at the temperatures greater than 50 degrees C. The enzyme required calcium ion for thermal stability. The activity was strongly inhibited by 1.0 g/L soybean trypsin inhibitor and 5 mM TLCK and partially inhibited by 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Activity was lowered with an increasing NaCl concentration (0-30%). The enzyme had a Km for Nalpha-p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride of 0.25 mM and a Kcat of 200 s-1. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of trypsin was determined as IVGGYECQAHSQPHQVSLNA and was very homologous to other trypsins.  相似文献

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from eggplant was extracted and partially purified by a two-step fractionation-precipitation using ammonium sulfate and phenylsepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The eggplant PPO extract was characterized concerning its kinetic properties. Optimal conditions to obtain Maillard reaction products (MRPs) with a maximal inhibitory potency (IP) toward PPO activity were determined using the surface response methodology and a four-factor and five-level experimental design. The MRPs were prepared from cysteine (0.25 M) and glucose (0-1 M), at several initial pH values (2-6) and at differing heating times (3-19 h) and temperatures (95-115 degrees C). The maximal IP was obtained after heating a model system of glucose/cysteine (1/0.25 M) at pH 2 for 3 h 20 min at 115 degrees C. The soluble part of this MRP, called MRP(IPmax), was a noncompetitive inhibitor toward eggplant PPO. The IP of MRP(IPmax) on PPO activity was very potent as compared to that displayed by benzoic, p-coumaric, and t-cinnamic acids, as well as sorbic acid and 4-hexylresorcinol. The activity of preincubated PPO at 0 degrees C with MRP(IPmax) was only slightly restored after dialysis or gel filtration.  相似文献

Two protease inhibitors of 67 and 18 kDa, respectively, were purified from glassfish, Liparis tanakai, eggs by affinity chromatography. The smaller protein was purified with a yield and purity of 0.25% and 49.69-fold, respectively, and was characterized for further study. The glassfish egg protease inhibitor exhibited stability between 50 and 65 degrees C in an alkaline environment (pH 8). It was shown to be a noncompetitive inhibitor against papain, with an inhibitor constant (Ki) of 4.44 nM. Potent glassfish protease inhibitor with N-Val-Gly Ser-Met-Thr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Thr-Asp-C amino acid residues was synthesized and its inhibitory activity was compared. Moreover, the 18-kDa protein inhibited cathepsin, a cysteine protease, more effectively than did egg white protease inhibitor, whereas the reverse was true for papain. Glassfish egg protease inhibitor is classified as a member of the family I cystatins.  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

Fruits of Gardenia jasminoides contain geniposide which can be transformed to blue pigments by a simple modification. Colorless geniposide obtained from gardenia fruits by charcoal and silica gel column chromatographies was hydrolyzed with beta-glucosidase to yield genipin. The resulting genipin was transformed to blue pigments by reaction with amino acids (glycine, lysine, or phenylalanine). The stability of the blue pigments against heat, light, and pH was studied to examine the blue dye for possible use as a value-added food colorant. Thermal degradation reactions at temperatures of 60-90 degrees C were carried out at different pH levels within the range 5.0-9.0 (pH 5.0, acetate buffer; pH 7.0, phosphate buffer; and pH 9.0, CHES buffer). The blue pigments remained stable after 10 h at temperatures of 60-90 degrees C, and in some cases, more new pigments formed. The pigments were more stable at alkaline pH than neutral and acidic pH. Similarly, the pigments were stable under light irradiance of 5000-20 000 lux. In this case, pH effect was not significant.  相似文献

Lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) have been shown to contain cysteine proteinase inhibitor (CPI) activity, but the CPI has not been isolated or characterized. Accordingly, our objective was to isolate and partially characterize a CPI from lima bean. The isolation scheme included water extraction of lima bean flour followed by a chromatography series using DEAE Sepharose, Phenyl Sepharose, hydroxyapatite, and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. This scheme resulted in the partial purification of a approximately 20 000-dalton protein with high inhibitory activity against papain. This isolated lima bean CPI had an N-terminal sequence homologous with other members of the cystatin class of CPIs. The protein was relatively heat labile; suggesting it could be inactivated with normal cooking, which is favorable for its use in transforming plants to create insect resistance.  相似文献

Calpastatin, a specific calpain inhibitor was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity from grass prawn (Penaeus monodon) muscle by 100 degrees C heat-treatment, DEAE-Sephacel, and Q-Sepharose chromatographs. No significant change in the inhibitory activity of crude calpastatin was observed even after 20 min incubation at 100 degrees C, pH 7.0. The purified prawn calpastatin had a molecular weight (M(r)) of 80 and 88.7 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE and Sephacryl S-200 HR gel filtration, respectively. According to the active site titration, the purified calpastatin revealed four beef mu-calpain and two beef m-calpain binding domains, respectively. It was stable during 1 h of incubation at 30 degrees C under pH 4.5-10.0 and shown to be a highly specific inhibitor for calpain.  相似文献

A cysteine protease, with a high cysteine content and a high degree of amino terminal sequence homology with ervatamins B and C, has been purified from the latex of Ervatamia heyneana (Family Apocynaceae). The enzyme designated as heynein (M(r) = 23 kDa) has a comparatively high cysteine content (11), high isoelectric point (10.8), and high stability against pH (2.5-11.5), temperature (63 degrees C, 15 min), strong denaturants, and organic solvents. The enzyme has high specific activities for natural substrates such as casein and azoalbumin. The pH and temperature optima are pH 8.0-8.5 and 52 +/- 2 degrees C, respectively. Hydrolysis of synthetic substrates and digestion of bovine serum albumin confirm a distinct specificity of heynein as compared to ervatamins and papain. Also, heynein has distinct immunogenicity as monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Ouchterlony's double immunodiffusion. Strong enzyme activation by reducing agents such as beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and strong enzyme inhibition by thiol proteinase inhibitors such as E-64 and iodoacetic acid have evidenced heynein to be a cysteine protease. High stability, specific activity, and easy purification may make heynein a potential protease for food and biotechnology applications.  相似文献

Two major superoxide dismutases (SODs; SODs I and II) were found in the crude enzyme extract of wheat seedlings after heat treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, anionic exchange chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. The purification fold for SODs I and II were 154 and 98, and the yields were 11 and 2.4%, respectively. SOD I was further characterized. It was found that SOD I from wheat seedlings is a homodimer, with a subunit molecular mass of 23 kDa. Isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (IEF) and zymogram staining results indicated that the isoelectric point of SOD I is 3.95. It belongs to the MnSOD category due to the fact that it was insensitive to KCN or hydrogen peroxide inhibitor. This MnSOD from wheat seedlings was found to be stable over pH 7-9, with an optimum pH of 8, but was sensitive to extreme pH, particularly to acidic pH. It was stable over a wide range of temperatures (5-50 degrees C). Thermal inactivation of wheat seedling MnSOD followed first-order reaction kinetics, and the temperature dependence of rate constants was in agreement with the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy for thermal inactivation of wheat seedling MnSOD in the temperature range of 50-70 degrees C was found to be 150 kJ/mol. HgCl2 and SDS at a concentration of 1.0 mM significantly inhibited enzyme activity. Chemical modification agents, including diethyl pyrocarbonate (2.5 mM) and Woodward's reagent K (50 mM), significantly inhibited the activity of wheat seedling SOD, implying that imidazole groups from histidine and carboxyl groups from aspartic acid and glutamic acid are probably located at or near the active site of the enzyme.  相似文献

Soy isoflavones, present in many processed soy foods, are known for their phytoestrogenic and antioxidant activities. The aim of this work was to study the kinetics of genistein and daidzein degradation at elevated temperatures and to follow changes in their antioxidant activity. Daidzein and genistein in model solutions (pH 7 and 9) were thermally treated at 120 degrees C or incubated at 70, 80, and 90 degrees C. Isoflavone degradation was observed at all temperatures, with apparent first-order kinetics at 70-90 degrees C, and E(a) = 8.4 and 11.6 kcal/mol at pH 9, respectively. Microcalorimetric stability tests showed a similar pattern of degradation, however, with higher E(a) (genistein, 73.7 kcal/mol; daidzein, 34.1 kcal/mol) that may be attributed to the anaerobic conditions. The antioxidant activity of incubated isoflavone solutions, followed by the ABTS test, decreased rapidly at pH 9 for genistein, whereas only moderate reduction was observed for daidzein (pH 7 and 9) or genistein at pH 7. This may indicate different degradation mechanisms for genistein and daidzein.  相似文献

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

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

Pectin methylesterase (PME) from green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) was extracted and purified by affinity chromatography on a CNBr-Sepharose-PMEI column. A single protein peak with pectin methylesterase activity was observed. For the pepper PME, a biochemical characterization in terms of molar mass (MM), isoelectric points (pI), and kinetic parameters for activity and thermostability was performed. The optimum pH for PME activity at 22 degrees C was 7.5, and its optimum temperature at neutral pH was between 52.5 and 55.0 degrees C. The purified pepper PME required the presence of 0.13 M NaCl for optimum activity. Isothermal inactivation of purified pepper PME in 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.5) could be described by a fractional conversion model for lower temperatures (55-57 degrees C) and a biphasic model for higher temperatures (58-70 degrees C). The enzyme showed a stable behavior toward high-pressure/temperature treatments.  相似文献

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of garland chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.) was purified approximately 32-fold with a recovery rate of 16% by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, and gel filtration. The purified enzyme appeared as a single band on PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 47000 and 45000 by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The purified enzyme quickly oxidized chlorogenic acid and (-)-epicatechin. The K(m) value (Michaelis constant) of the enzyme was 2.0 mM for chlorogenic acid (pH 4.0, 30 degrees C) and 10.0 mM for (-)-epicatechin (pH 8.0, 40 degrees C). The optimum pH was 4.0 for chlorogenic acid oxidase (ChO) and 8.0 for (-)-epicatechin oxidase (EpO). In the pH range from 5 to 11, their activities were quite stable at 5 degrees C for 22 h. The optimum temperatures of ChO and EpO activities were 30 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Both activities were stable at up to 50 degrees C after heat treatment for 30 min. The purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by l-ascorbic acid and l-cysteine at 1 mM.  相似文献

The present investigation deals with purification and thermal characterization of an acid invertase produced by Fusarium solani in submerged culture. The maximum enzyme activity (9.90 U mL(-1)) was achieved after 96 h of cultivation at pH 5.0 and 30 degrees C in a basal medium containing molasses (2%) as the carbon and energy source supplemented with 1% peptone. Invertase was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme was proven to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 65 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for activity were 2.6 and 50 degrees C, respectively. The Km value for sucrose was 3.57 mM with an activation energy of 4.056 kJ mol(-1). Enthalpies of activation (DeltaH) were decreased while entropies (DeltaS) of activation increased at higher temperatures. The effects of alpha-chymotrypsin and 4 M urea were tetraphasic with periodic gain and loss of enzyme activity. A possible explanation for the thermal inactivation of invertase at higher temperatures is also discussed.  相似文献

The purification and partial enzymology characteristics of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from rape flower were studied. After preliminary treatments, the crude enzyme solution was in turn purified with ammonium sulfate, dialysis, and Sephadex G-75 gel chromatography. The optimal conditions and stability of PPO were examined at different pH values and temperatures. Subsequently, PPO was also characterized by substrate (catechol) concentrations, inhibitors, kinetic parameters, and molecular weight. Results showed that the optimal pH for PPO activity was 5.5 in the presence of catechol and that PPO was relatively stable at pH 3.5-5.5. PPO was moderately stable at temperatures from 60 to 70 °C, whereas it was easily denatured at 80-90 °C. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sodium chloride, and calcium chloride had little inhibitive effects on PPO, whereas citric acid, sodium sulfite, and ascorbic acid had strongly inhibitive effects. The Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) and maximal reaction velocity (V(max)) of PPO were 0.767 mol/L and 0.519 Ab/min/mL of the crude PPO solution, respectively. PPO was finally purified to homogeneity with a purification factor of 4.41-fold and a recovery of 12.41%. Its molecular weight was 60.4 kDa, indicating that the PPO is a dimer. The data obtained in this research may help to prevent the enzymatic browning of rape flower during its storage and processing.  相似文献

Tomato polygalacturonase (PG) was extracted from ripe tomatoes and purified by cation exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Cation exchange chromatography yielded two peaks with PG activity: the first peak was identified as PG2 (the heat labile form) and the second one as PG1 (the heat stable form). Both PG2 and PG1 presented a molar mass of 42 kDa when analyzed by SDS-PAGE and an isoelectric point >9.3. Thermal inactivation of purified tomato PG2, at pH 4.4, in the temperature range from 53 to 63 degrees C, followed first-order kinetics. Combined pressure-temperature inactivation of tomato PG2 was studied at 5-55 degrees C/100-600MPa. Under all pressure-temperature conditions, PG2 inactivation followed first-order kinetics. Purified tomato PG1, although more thermostable than PG2, showed a pressure stability very similar to that of PG2. These results indicate that high-pressure processing is an efficient alternative to inactivate tomato PG without the need for applying high temperatures.  相似文献

To obtain basic information about enzymatic deterioration of buckwheat flour, triacylglycerol lipase (LIP; EC 3.1.1.3) was purified from buckwheat seed. The LIP consisted of two isozymes, LIP I and LIP II, and they were purified with purification folds of 60 and 143 with final specific activities of 0.108 and 0.727 mumol of fatty acid released per minute per milligram of protein at 30 degrees C using triolein as a substrate. Molecular weights were estimated to be 150 (LIP I) and 28.4 kDa (LIP I) by gel filtration and 171 (LIP I) and 26.5 kDa (LIP II) by SDS-PAGE. Optimal pHs of LIP activities were 3.0 (LIP I) and 6.0 (Lip II) using triolein as a substrate. Both LIP I and II reacted in the acidic pH range. Optimal temperatures were 30 (LIP I) and 40 degrees C (LIP II), and both LIP I and II were stable below 30 degrees C when p-nitrophenyl-laurate was used as a substrate. However, they were inactivated above 60 degrees C. On the other hand, when triolein was used as a substrate, optimal temperatures were 30 degrees C for both LIP I and II, and they retained 40% of their activity after a 4 h incubation of enzymes at 70 degrees C. LIP I and II had higher activity against triolein than monoolein or tri/monopalmitin. Most of the LIP activity was distributed in the embryo.  相似文献

A trypsin inhibitor, PdKI, was purified from Pithecellobium dumosum seeds by TCA precipitation, trypsin-sepharose chromatography, and reversed-phase-HPLC. PdKI was purified 217.6-fold and recovered 4.7%. SDS-PAGE showed that PdKI is a single polypeptide chain of 18.9 kDa and 19.7 kDa by MALDI-TOF. The inhibition on trypsin was stable in the pH range 2-10 and at a temperature of 50 degrees C. The Ki values were 3.56 x 10(-8)and 7.61 x 10(-7) M with competitive and noncompetitive inhibition mechanisms for trypsin and papain, respectively. The N-terminal sequence identified with members of Kunitz-type inhibitors from the Mimosoideae and Caesalpinoideae subfamilies. PdKI was effective against digestive proteinase from Zabrotes subfasciatus, Ceratitis capitata, Plodia interpunctella, Alabama argillaceae, and Callosobruchus maculatus, with 69, 66, 44, 38, and 29% inhibition, respectively. Results support that PdKI is a member of the Kunitz inhibitor family and its insecticidal properties indicate a potent insect antifeedant.  相似文献

A class III chitinase cDNA (BoChi3-1) was cloned using a cDNA library from suspension-cultured bamboo ( Bambusa oldhamii ) cells and then transformed into yeast ( Pichia pastoris X-33) for expression. Two recombinant chitinases with molecular masses of 28.3 and 35.7 kDa, respectively, were purified from the yeast's culture broth to electrophoretic homogeneity using sequential ammonium sulfate fractionation, Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and Con A-Sepharose chromatography steps. N-Terminal sequencing and immunoblotting revealed that both recombinant chitinases were encoded by BoChi3-1, whereas SDS-PAGE and glycoprotein staining showed that the 35.7 kDa isoform (35.7 kDa BoCHI3-1) was glycosylated and the 28.3 kDa isoform (28.3 kDa BoCHI3-1) was not. For hydrolysis of ethylene glycol chitin (EGC), the optimal pH values were 3 and 4 for 35.7 and 28.3 kDa BoCHI3-1, respectively; the optimal temperatures were 80 and 70 degrees C, and the K(m) values were 1.35 and 0.65 mg/mL. The purified 35.7 kDa BoCHI3-1 hydrolyzed EGC more efficiently than the 28.3 kDa isoform, as compared with their specific activity and activation energy. Both recombinant BoCHI3-1 isoforms showed antifungal activity against Scolecobasidium longiphorum and displayed remarkable thermal (up to 70 degrees C) and storage (up to a year at 4 degrees C) stabilities.  相似文献
