组织蛋白酶L属于半胱氨酸蛋白酶中的木瓜蛋白酶超家族,在哺乳动物中它与抗原提呈、肿瘤入侵和转移、骨质吸收、细胞凋亡等许多生命活动有关。但对其在无脊椎动物中的功能了解的不多。从中国明对虾(Fenneropenaeus chinensis)中克隆得到了组织蛋白酶L基因,为了进一步研究组织蛋白酶L的组织分布及其功能,对该基因进行了重组表达。将中国明对虾组织蛋白酶L基因的酶原片段亚克隆进原核表达载体pET30a中,转化大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),再进行诱导表达,表达产物经SDS-PAGE电泳检测,其分子量在40kD左右,与期望的中国明对虾组织蛋白酶L的分子量一致。表达产物形成包涵体,经过对包涵体变性和复性,并进行His-tag柱亲和纯化,得到了纯化的蛋白。利用重组蛋白制备了的兔抗血清。Western实验表明,组织蛋白酶L在中国明对虾的肝、胃、肠中有表达,而在卵巢中没有表达。

鲢鱼(Hypophthal michthys molitrix)背肌中组织蛋白酶B2的纯化与酶学性质鉴定

对鲢鱼背部白肌中的组织蛋白酶B2,进行了分离纯化及酶学性质的鉴定。目的酶经粗提后,再通过酸处理、硫酸铵分级沉淀、超滤、DEAE-Sephacel、Sephacryl S-100、SP-Sepharose F.F.、Blue-sepharose 6 F.F.、Con A-Sepha-rose等步骤纯化,纯化倍数达到396.5倍。经SDS-PAGE分析,该酶呈现了分子量约为25和20KDa的2条带。组织蛋白酶B2的最适反应温度和pH分别为30~35℃和pH5.5。巯基还原剂DTT、L-Cys、β-Me均显著地激活了该酶的活性。50μmol/L的E-64能够完全抑制其活性。Cl-浓度为100μmol/L以内时,对组织蛋白酶B2起到激活作用,200μmol/L时则表现为抑制作用。25 mmol/L的P2O74-,即可有效抑制该酶的活性。该纯化酶能够水解Z-Arg-Arg-MCA、Z-Phe-Arg-MCA,但是不能够水解L-Arg-MCA。组织蛋白酶B2水解Z-Arg-Arg-MCA、Z-Phe-Arg-MCA的Km值分别为7.15及226μmol/L,表明Z-Arg-Arg-MCA是该酶的最适底物。
