Tyrosinase, purified from the cap flesh tissue of portabella mushrooms, was characterized with regard to its physical and biochemical properties. A native molecular size of 41 kDa for the enzyme was obtained by size exclusion chromatography, whereas SDS-PAGE indicated that the enzyme contained a single subunit with a size of approximately 48 kDa under reduced and nonreduced conditions. The purified enzyme showed a single immunological cross-reacting protein after Western blotting when probed with antibodies against Agaricus bisporus tyrosinase. Isoelectric focusing demonstrated that the enzyme preparation, apparently homogeneous by electrophoresis, still contained three isoforms of pI 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3. The purified enzyme was able to oxidize a variety of mono-, di-, and triphenolic compounds. An apparent K(m) of 5 mM was obtained using catechol as the substrate, and an apparent K(m) of 9 mM was found using L-Dopa as a substrate. Ascorbic acid, kojic acid, tropolone, mercaptobenzothiazole, and salicylhydroxamic acid inhibited the enzyme severely at 100 microM. 相似文献

Tight junctions (TJs) in inter-Sertoli junctional areas and epididymal epithelia build up the blood–testis barrier (BTB) and the blood–epididymal barrier (BEB), respectively. In this study, the expression of occludin, an integral member of the TJs, was examined in testis and different regions of epididymis of Lepus sinensis coreanus , an Korean wild rabbit species. In testis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basally located inter-Sertoli junctional area together with diffused immunoreactivity of occludin in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells. It can be suggested that occludin is one of the robust elements of BTB in seminiferous tubules of rabbit testis. In proximal and distal caput epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity was found in the lateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells. In corpus epididymis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basolateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells together with cytoplasmic signal. In cauda epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity in luminal epithelia was relatively strong but largely found in the cytoplasm. This suggests that intriguing regulatory mechanisms differentially recruit occludin to the TJ in the different regions of epididymal epithelia. The differences in the subcellular localization as well as expression levels of occludin among the epididymal segments may reflect differential paracellular permeability of epithelia along the epididymal tubules and be correlated with sperm maturation in rabbit. In Western blot, a major form of occludin was MW 62 kDa together with small fragments of MW 34–39 kDa in testis and epididymis, suggesting the peptide cleavage of occludin. This is the first report on the molecular nature of TJs in a wild rabbit testis and epididymis. 相似文献

Commercial mushroom tyrosinase contains other proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, and phenolic material besides tyrosinase. Carbohydrate and phenolic material comprise a large percentage of the powder resuspensions derived from Agaricus bisporus. Enzyme assays identified the presence of tyrosinase, laccase, beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-xylosidase, cellulase, chitinase, xylanase, and mannanase in the commercial tyrosinase. Protein sequencing indicated the presence of tyrosinase, a lectin, and a putative mannanase as well as 10 unidentified protein/peptides in the commercial tyrosinase preparations. Characteristics of tyrosinase isoforms were similar in two different commercial tyrosinase sources. Inhibition studies indicated that I 50 values for some tyrosinase inhibitors were different when the crude powder was compared to a partially purified tyrosinase. The presence of these contaminants has the potential to affect studies using commercial tyrosinase. 相似文献
