植酸酶的酶学性质研究

以德国巴斯夫植酸酶为对象,研究了pH、温度以及热处理对其活性的影响。实验显示:该植酸酶在pH4.5～6的范围内均有80%以上的酶活性,最适pH为5.5;在温度30～50℃之间具有5 000 U/g以上的酶活性,最适温度为40℃;在80℃热处理20 min可保持90%以上的酶活,在90℃热处理20 min仅剩51.04%酶活。结果表明:pH、温度、热处理对植酸酶均有一定影响,饲料中添加植酸酶应该考虑这些因素。     

Purification and characterization of stomach protease from the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

Proteolytic activity in the different parts of the digestive tract of the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) were studied in this work. One pure protease was isolated from turbot stomach and its behavior was studied. Results showed the optimum pH for proteases in the different parts of the digestive tract of the turbot were pH 2.0 for the stomach, pH 8.0 for the pylorus cecum, pH 8.0 for the foregut, pH 8.5 for the midgut, and pH 8.0 for the hindgut. The activity of proteases in the different parts of the digestive tract were in the sequence pylorus cecum protease > stomach protease > foregut protease > midgut protease > hindgut protease. The stomach protease was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose F.F. and Sephadex G-100. The purified enzyme gave a single band in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Its molecular weight was found to be approximately 42,000 Da. The enzyme is stable at pH 1.0–9.0 and at temperatures below 40°C. Its activity was maximum at pH 2.0 and 40°C. When reaction time was prolonged the optimum temperature of the enzyme tended to decline. The enzyme was activated by Mn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ and inactivated by Fe³⁺. It was fully inhibited by pepstatin and partially inhibited by PMSF, TPCK, PCMB, and NBS. These results imply the enzyme is a pepsin.

以驼海燕为原料,用丙酮沉淀法制备蛋白酶粗酶,并对其酶学性质进行研究。试验结果表明,提取蛋白粗酶的最佳条件为:原酶液与丙酮的体积比为1∶1.6;蛋白酶反应的最适温度为45℃,最适pH值为8.1;pH为7～9时可保持较高的酶活力;蛋白酶的酶活力在20～50℃基本稳定。酶促反应结果表明,Na+、K+、Li+、Mg2+对蛋白酶活力具有促进作用,而Zn2+、Cu2+、Hg2+能抑制蛋白酶的活力,EDTA对蛋白酶活力的影响甚微。酶动力学方程表明,最大反应速度vmax=5.99U/mL,米氏常数Km=0.69g/mL。     

Some proteolytic properties of hatching liquid in the sea trout,Salmo trutta m. trutta L.

Proteolytic activity of sea trout hatching liquid was examined towards casein and azocazein as a function of pH and temperature. The optimum pH for caseinolytic and azocaseinolytic activities were 9.4, and 9.0, respectively. At alkaline pH the enzyme was activated by low concentrations of Zn²⁺ ions (10⁻⁵ M). Maximum proteolytic activity of the hatching liquid was observed at 25°C. Temperatures exceeding 30°C caused a rapid reduction in enzyme activity. Proteolytic activity observed at 10°C was approximately 50% of that observed at 25°C. In general, a pseudo-Arrhenius plot indicated a Q₁₀ of 1.6 between 6 and 25°C.     

Secretion of hatching enzyme and its proteolytic activity in coregoninae (Coregonus albula L andC. lavaretus L) embryos

After the electrial stimulation Coregoninae embryos secreted the hatching enzyme (chorionase) within 0.1–0.5 h, and the dissolution of their chorions lasted 1.2–2.0 h, depending on embryo's developmental stage (DS 13 or DS 14) and water temperature (5.2 or 9.6–9.8°C).Crude chorionase (hatching liquid) ofCoregonus albula andC. lavaretus was collected in large quantities by means of the electric stimulation of eggs. In both species the temperature optimum of proteolytic activity of the crude chorionasc was 30°C; the activity was lost at temperatures < 3-2°C and > 35–40°C. The maximal proteolytic activity was observed at pH 8.5; a rapid decrease in enzyme activity was evident at pH < 7.0, and the activity was zero at pH 6.The temperature-activity curve of chorionase may reflect the adaptation of Coregoninae to hatching immediately after the ice cover recedes from lakes, whereas the rapid decrease of enzyme activity at pH 7 -pH 6 can affect adversely the process of hatching in acidified lakes.     

温度、pH对克氏原螯虾血清酚氧化酶活力及稳定性的影响

Purification and characterization of transglutaminase from squid gill

ABSTRACT: The present study used squid gill as a source of transglutaminase (TGase) because it has extremely high TGase activity compared with other tissues. The enzyme was purified using successive chromatographies of Sephacryl S-300 and hydroxyapatite columns. The yield and purification-fold of the enzymatic activity was 12.6% and 14.1-fold, respectively. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 94 kDa by using sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. Enzyme activity was enhanced 15-fold with an increase in NaCl concentration. Although the activity was dependent on Ca²⁺ concentration, it was not sufficiently activated even by 50 mM CaCl₂ in the absence of NaCl, but could be fully activated with 10 mM CaCl₂ in 0.7 M NaCl. However, in the absence of substrates, the enzyme was rapidly inactivated. The pH and temperature optima of the enzyme were approximately pH 8.0 and 20°C, respectively. It was stable in the absence of Ca²⁺ at pH 7.5–9.0 and had a rate constant (K _D ) of 1.6 × 10^–5 s^–1 for thermal inactivation at 50°C. These results in which squid gill TGase could be activated at higher concentrations of Ca²⁺ and NaCl than at a physiological concentration, suggest that contact with seawater or body fluid seems to activate the enzyme if the tissue is disrupted.     

金乌贼肌肉中三甲胺脱甲基酶的分离纯化及酶学性质

为了提取纯化金乌贼肌肉中的三甲胺脱甲基酶(TMAOase),本研究采用含有0.1 mol/L NaCl、pH 7.0、浓度为20 mmol/L的三羟甲基氨基甲烷(Tris)-醋酸缓冲液提取粗酶液,经透析、浓缩处理后,通过DEAE-52阴离子交换柱层析和Sephacryl S-300柱层析得到了纯化的TMAOase,并对其酶学性质进行了研究。结果显示,经Sephacryl S-300柱层析的TMAOase相比粗酶纯化了209.54倍;粗酶和纯化酶的最适温度分别为55和50°C,当温度高于最适温度时,酶活性开始出现显著下降,粗酶在80°C仍残留21.9%的活性;而纯化酶在80°C时,几乎检测不到酶活;粗酶和纯化酶的最适p H均为7.0,中性条件下表现稳定,在酸性和碱性条件下稳定性下降,p H为9.0时,粗酶残留60.7%的活性,而纯化酶的活性仅为20.5%。以双倒数作图法(Lineweaver-Burk法)测得纯化的TMAOase的Km值为22.8 mmol/L;经SDS-PAGE电泳分析,测得其分子量为21.3 ku;在化学物质中,柠檬酸和CaCl_2对酶活性具有显著的促进作用,H_2O_2和Na_2S对TMAOase活性有显著抑制作用。     

Calcium-sensitive extracellular poly(α-L-guluronate)lyase from a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain F6: Purification and some properties

ABSTRACT: Poly(α- L -guluronate)lyase, as one of alginate lyases, was purified from the culture medium of a marine bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain F6, to an electrophoretically homogeneous state. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular mass of 36 kDa by sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and was most active at around pH 7.5 and was stable between pH 6.5 and pH 8.5. In the thermal stability experiments, the enzyme's activity diminished through an intermediate state with increasing incubation temperatures and was finally lost when heated at 100°C for 15 min. The addition of hen egg-white lysozyme to the enzyme decreased thermal stability dramatically. The apparent retention of enzyme activity (approximately 50%) was observed after the addition of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride and 8 M urea. Enzyme activity was lost completely with 10 mMSDS, while the ordered structure, which is considered likely to be β-structure, was markedly created. The similar conformational feature has also been created in marine bacterial and mollusc enzymes and the β-structure is commonly observed in polyuronate lyases. The divalent cation (Ca²⁺) promoted the activity of the calcium chelator-treated enzyme significantly, suggesting that Ca²⁺ is involved in the formation of the active intermediate between the acidic uronate(s) and amino acid side-chain(s) of the enzyme.     

卵形鲳鲹消化酶活性的研究ⅢpH对幼鱼和成鱼消化酶活性的影响

研究了pH对卵形鲳鲹幼鱼和成鱼3种主要消化酶(蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶)活力的影响。实验用鱼暂养7 d后解剖取样,在设计的10个酶反应pH值(2.2,3.2,4.2,5.2,6.2,7.2,8.0,8.6,9.6,10.6)下测定消化酶活力。结果表明:卵形鲳鲹胃内pH为强酸性,幼鱼肠内为中性偏酸性,肝、幽门盲囊和成鱼肠内为中性偏弱碱性。胃蛋白酶的最适pH值幼鱼为2.2,成鱼为3.2;肝、幽门盲囊和肠的蛋白酶活性最适pH值幼鱼为7.2,成鱼为8.0。淀粉酶活性的最适pH值幼鱼为8.0,成鱼为8.6。脂肪酶活性的最适pH值均为弱酸性,幼鱼和成鱼均为6.2。卵形鲳鲹幼鱼和成鱼3种相同消化酶活性的变化趋势相似,并以胃蛋白酶、肠淀粉酶、肠脂肪酶的活力最高。     

A comparative study of the effects of high pressure on proteolytic degradation of sardine and blue whiting muscle

ABSTRACT:   High-pressure technology is used as an alternative to heat processing because of its inactivating effect on microorganisms and enzymes. However, it can also alter the structure of other muscle proteins. The present study compares the effects of high pressure (300 MPa, 7°C, 20 min) on the proteolytic degradation and alterations in the myofibrillar proteins of sardine and blue whiting muscle. Also, muscle homogenates and enzyme extracts were pressurized in order to evaluate the high-pressure effects on unprotected proteolytic enzymes outside the whole muscle structure. Peak proteolytic activity was found to occur at 55°C in both species. The peak activity pH was pH 3 for the sardine and pH 8 for the blue whiting; the main enzyme families being aspartic proteases in the former and alkaline serine proteases in the latter. Pressurization lowered activity levels at the peak activity pH and temperature in the fish muscle (by 30.8% in the sardine and by 9.5% in the blue whiting) and also slightly in the enzyme extracts (by 16.8% in the sardine and by 19.4% in the blue whiting). The electrophoretic profiles disclosed higher protein degradation in the pressurized muscle. Overall, the observed changes in proteolytic activity can be attributed not only to the effect of high pressure on the enzymes, but also and mainly, to the effect on other muscle proteins.     

Partial characterization of the digestive enzymes of Pacific bluefin tuna <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thunnus orientalis</Emphasis> under culture conditions

The digestive enzyme activities of Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis were evaluated for specific activity and characterized for pH and temperature optima in crude extracts of stomach, caecal mass, and proximal, middle and distal intestine. A higher level of alkaline proteolytic activity was detected in the caecal mass than in the proximal intestine. Total alkaline proteases, trypsin, chymotrypsin and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) were tested. The temperature and pH analyses showed that proteolytic activity as well as lipase were maximal in the alkaline range, with a maximum at pH 9.0 and at temperatures between 35 and 60°C, except for the pepsin, which showed maximum activity at the same temperatures but in the acid range (pH 3.0). The α-amylase activity showed a broader range in activity, both for pH and temperature, with higher activity over the alkaline pH values and higher temperature. The lipase activity seems to be nondependent on bile salts under our assay conditions, resulting in a significant activity reduction in the presence of bile salts. This knowledge will allow the development of a gastrointestinal model (everted intestine) where food or feed will be hydrolysed with the fish’s own enzymes, a project that is being undertaken in our laboratory as a contribution to the development of novel diets for tuna fish.     

刺参“参优1号”苗种在不同pH条件下的代谢特征和适应性研究

为研究刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)"参优1号"苗种的适宜pH及耐受范围并解析其对水体的酸碱性适应机制,本研究测定了pH 6.5~10.0条件下该良种苗种的生长、存活、呼吸代谢以及非特异性免疫酶活性的差异。结果显示,在pH 6.5~9.5范围内,30 d实验周期内苗种的存活率均为100%,而在pH 10.0条件下苗种全部死亡。在pH 7.5~8.5范围内,苗种特定生长率(SGR)为正值,且在pH为8.0时SGR最高,达到0.541%/d,而在pH低于7.0和高于9.0时,SGR为负值,苗种为负生长。对不同pH条件下的耗氧率(R_O)和排氨率(R_N)的测定结果显示,随pH的变化,R_O和R_N均呈现以pH 8.0为波谷的"V"型变化,在pH 8.0条件下的R_O和R_N分别为19.07和1.34μg/(g·h)。不同pH实验组刺参苗种的氧氮比(O/N)均在11左右,O/N随pH变化无显著差异(P>0.05)。pH的升高和降低会引起刺参体腔液中酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶、溶菌酶和超氧化物歧化酶的活性显著升高(P<0.05),在苗种适应pH胁迫过程中,各pH组超氧化物歧化酶活性的峰值一般在第0天出现,而溶菌酶的活性峰值在第10天出现。研究表明,刺参"参优1号"可存活的pH范围为6.5~9.5,适宜生长的pH范围为7.5~8.5,pH变化会导致苗种呼吸代谢和免疫酶活性的改变。本研究结果将为刺参"参优1号"苗种的科学化推广提供依据。     

NAD-preferring malic enzyme: localization,regulation and its potential role in herring (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Clupea harengus)</Emphasis> sperm cells

Herring spermatozoa exhibit a high activity of NAD-preferring malic enzyme (NAD-ME). This enzyme is involved in the generation of NADH or NADPH in the decarboxylation of malate to form pyruvate and requires some divalent cations to express its activity. In order to confirm that NAD-ME isolated from herring sperm cells is localized in mitochondria, we performed immunofluorescent analysis and assayed spectrophotometrically the malic enzyme reaction. Production of polyclonal rabbit antibodies against NAD-ME from herring spermatozoa enabled identification of mitochondrial localization of this enzyme inside herring spermatozoa. The kinetic studies revealed that NAD-ME was competitively inhibited by ATP up to tenfold. Addition of fumarate reversed ATP-dependent inhibition of NAD-ME to 55 % of its maximum activity. The pH-dependent regulation of malic enzyme activity was also examined. Malic enzyme showed maximum activity at pH near 7.0 in all studied conditions. Finally, the role of malic enzyme activity regulation in mitochondria of herring sperm cells was discussed.     

A comparative study of cellulase and xylanase activity in freshwater crayfish and marine prawns

Cellulase and xylanase digestive enzyme activities were compared in four freshwater crayfish (Genus Cherax) and three marine prawn (Genus Penaeus) species. Temperature and pH profiles for cellulase (endoglucanase) were found to be very similar in all species, with maximum activity occurring at 60°C and pH 5.0. Temperature and pH profiles for xylanase (endoxylanase) were also very similar in all crayfish species, with maximum activity occurring at 50°C and pH 5.0. Xylanase activity was not detected in the three prawn species examined. In addition, in vitro studies showed that most species were able to liberate glucose from carboxymethyl cellulose, indicating that cellulose substrates can be a source of energy for both crayfish and prawn species.     

Characterization of acetylcholinesterase from the gut of sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus

An acetylcholinesterase was purified from the gut of sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus by anion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme was purified 35.49-fold with a total yield of 7.73 %. The molecular mass of purified acetylcholinesterase was 68 kDa as revealed on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme displayed maximum activity at pH 7.5 and 35 °C with acetylthiocholine iodide as substrate. The enzyme activity appeared to be stable over pH 6.0–8.0 and up to 40 °C. It displayed an apparent Michaelis–Menten behavior in the concentration range from 0.1 to 0.8 mM with K _m values of 0.62 mM for acetylthiocholine iodide and 2.53 mM for butyrylthiocholine iodide. More than 95 % of acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited by 1 mM eserine or 1,5-bis(4-allyldimethylammonium phenyl)-pentan-3-one dibromide (BW284C51), but only 19.1 % of the activity was inhibited by tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide (iso-OMPA) at the same concentration. On the basis of the substrate and inhibitor specificities, the purified enzyme appeared to be a true acetylcholinesterase. Nevertheless, the purified acetylcholinesterase exhibited insensitivity to substrate inhibition phenomenon. Its biochemical properties were compared with those reported for different species.     

Partial characterization of hepatopancreatic and extracellular digestive proteinases of wild and cultivated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Octopus maya</Emphasis>

Proteinases from hepatopancreas (HP) and gastric juice (GJ) from wild and cultured red octopus (Octopus maya) were characterized. Hepatopancreas assays revealed optimal activity at pH 4, 9–10 and 10 for wild and pH 3, 8, and 9, for cultured octopuses, for total proteinases, trypsin and chymotrypsin, respectively. In the gastric juice, maximum activity was recorded at pH 6, 8, and 7 for total proteinases, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, respectively for both wild and cultured octopus. A reduction on enzyme activity of 70 and 20% was observed in HP and GJ extracts, respectively when protease inhibitor Pepstatin A was used. That result suggests that the main proteases in the HP were aspartic acid proteinases type (possibly Cathepsin D) and some of them were present in the GJ. Dissociating discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed activity bands between 20 and 28, 30 and 34, 35 and 45, 60 and 70 kDa, and a last one between 75 and 100 kDa. We concluded that extracellular digestion of O. maya takes place in an acid environment, around pH 6. In contrast, intracellular digestion in the HP is developed at pHs between 3 and 4, where cathepsin D could be the most important enzyme for O. maya.

Golden Grey Mullet (Liza aurata) Alkaline Proteases: Biochemical Characterization,Application in the Shrimp Wastes Deproteinization,Laundry Commercial Detergents,and Preparation of Antioxidant Protein Hydrolysate

Digestive alkaline proteinases from golden grey mullet (Liza aurata) were extracted and characterized. The crude alkaline protease showed optimum activity at pH 8.0 and 60°C, and it was highly stable over a wide range of pH from 4.0 to 10.0, retaining more than 80% activity after incubation for 1 h at 4°C. The alkaline proteases showed extreme stability toward nonionic and anionic surfactants after preincubation for 1 h at 25°C and relative stability toward oxidizing agents. Additionally, the crude enzyme showed excellent stability and compatibility with various solid and liquid detergents. Further, proteases from golden grey mullet viscera were found to be effective in the deproteinization of shrimp wastes. The protein removal after 3 h at 45°C with an enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio of 10 U/mg protein was about 76%. The golden grey mullet proteases were also shown to be efficient in the production of antioxidant protein hydrolysate.
