An extracellular lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) from the fungusBotrytis cinerea has been purified to homogeneity and characterized. The purification included ammonium sulfate fractionation and sequential
column chromatography. The purification of the preparation was 31-fold and recovery yield was 21%. The purified enzyme was
associated with esterase activity according to activity staining on polyacrylamide gel. The molecular weight was determined
as 60 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and estimated at 72 kDa using gel filtration, which
suggests that the enzyme may be a monomer. The isoelectric point was 6.5, and optimal activity was obtained at 38°C and pH
6.0. This lipase showed a high specificity for synthetic substrates containing long-chain unsaturated fatty acids using umbelliferone
esters. The effect of β-cyclodextrin on the hydrolysis of olive oil has been studied. The specific activity was 25 μmole/min/mg
in the absence of β-cyclodextrin and 132 μmole/min/mg in its presence. 相似文献

Linoleic acid is sequentially converted to7S,8S-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid by the 8R-dioxygenase and hydroperoxide isomerase of the fungusGaeumannomyces graminis, which is a common pathogen of wheat. The objective of this study was to separate and characterize the two enzyme activities.
The isomerase activity was found mainly in the microsomal fraction of the mycelia and the 8R-dioxygenase in the cytosol. The 8R-dioxygenase could be partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography or
isoelectric focusing. The 8R-dioxygenase was unstable during purification, but it could be stabilized by glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid. Several protease inhibitors reduced the enzyme activity. Gel filtration with Sephacryl S-300 showed that most 8R-dioxygenase activity was eluted with the front with little retention. Isoelectric focusing in the presence of ethylene glycol
(20%) indicated an isoelectric point of pl 6.1–6.3. The enzyme was retained on strong anion exchange columns at pH 7.4 and
could be eluted with 0.3–0.5 M NaCl. Incubation of the enzyme with 0.1 mM linoleic acid led to partial inactivation, which
may indicate product inhibition. Paracetamol and the lipoxygenase inhibitor ICI 230,487 at 30 μM inhibited the 8R-dioxygenase by 44 and 58%, respectively. 8R-hydroperoxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid was isolated from incubations of linoleic acid with the partially purified enzyme or with the cytosol
in the presence ofp-hydroxymercuribenzoate. The hydroperoxide was rapidly converted by the hydroperoxide isomerase in the microsomal fractions
to7S,8S-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid. The isomerase was neither inhibited by carbon monoxide nor by ketoconazole (100 μM). The isomerase
was active over a broad pH range. It could be separated from the 8R-dioxygenase by differential centrifugation, by ammonium sulfate precipitation and by gel filtration. We conclude that the
linoleic acid 8R-dioxygenase and the hydroperoxide isomerase are two separate enzymes. 相似文献

A nearly homogeneous but somewhat unstable diacylglycerol kinase (ca. MW 72,000 daltons) was purified from bovine brain by
modification of the procedure of Kanoh et al. (Kanoh, H., Kondoh, H., and Ono, T. [1983]J. Biol. Chem. 258, 1767–1774). The purification consisted of four steps (brain cytosol isolation and successive chromatography on DEAE-cellulose,
Sephadex G-25 for desalting and ATP-agarose) carried out in buffers stabilized with EDTA, ATP and dithiothreitol (DTT). Specific
activities, determined within 4 hr of purification, ranged from 908–1857 nmol ATP incorporated/min/mg protein, with the variation
reflecting the instability. Optimal activities required deoxycholate (0.1%), one of the phosphoglycerides [phosphatidylcholine
(PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylserine (PS)] (0.025–0.25 mM), ATP (5 mM, apparent Km=0.57 mM), 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol (5 mM, apparent Km=1 mM) and Mg2+ (10 mM, apparent Km=2.2 mM). Phosphatidylinositol (PI) was slightly less effective than PC, PE or PS and noninhibitory in combination with PC,
PE or PS. Relative to PC phosphatidic acid (PA) (52%), sphingomyelin (48%), lyso-PC (1.5%) and lyso-PI (28.6%) were less effective
activators. The sulfhydryl reagents,p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB) (1.0 mM),N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) (1.0 and 2.0 mM) and 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) (1.0 mM), showed strong inhibition
of activity which was prevented by 0.5 mM DTT. In contrast to other reports, this purified enzyme showed no monoacylglycerol
kinase activity. Comparison of diacylglycerols of varying fatty acid composition indicated that the enzyme showed a preference
for substrates with at least one unsaturated fatty acid, particularly in the 2-position. With saturated fatty acids the order
of preference was C10 and C12>C14>C16>C18. Such a pattern indicates that the enzyme shows little selectivity that favors the generation of particular molecular species
of PA. 相似文献

Sphingosine N-acyltransferase (ceramide synthase, E.C. 2.3.1.24) was solubilized from bovine liver mitochondrion-rich fraction with n-ocytl β-d-thioglucoside as the detergent and partially purified by sequential chromatography on columns of DE-32, shingosine affinity,
and Sepharose CL-6B. The partially purified preparation migrated on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as two major protein
bands of 62 and 72 kDa. The molecular mass of the enzyme estimated by gel filtration was 240–260 kDa, suggesting that the
partially purified enzyme is present in a subunit form or simply has an aggregative nature. The specific activity of the final
preparation for the condensation of sphingosine with stearoyl-CoA increased by 98.7-fold compared with the starting material.
The optimal pH value for the ceramide synthesis was 7.5. The partially purified enzyme had an apparent K
m of 146 μM and a V
max of 11.1 nmol/min/mg protein for stearoyl-CoA. The K
m and V
max values toward sphingosine were 171 μM and 11.3 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Interestingly, sphinganine was also a good
substrate for this enzyme, and the K
m and V
max values were 144 μM and 8.5 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. 相似文献

Limited specific hydrolysis of casein byStaphylococcus aureus V8 protease was used to produce 2% and 6.7% hydrolysates (2 and 6.7% of the peptide bonds hydrolyzed), each containing five
polypeptides (by gel filtration) ranging in size from ∼ 16,000 to ∼1,000 daltons. The mixtures of polypeptides had substantially
increased solubilities at pH 4.0–4.5, near the isoelectric point of casein. In general, the emulsifying activity index was
less for the hydrolysates than for casein; the emulsion stability was higher for the 2% hydrolysate than was the emulsion
from casein. Phosphorylation of zein markedly increased the water solubility of zein above and below pH 4. When the free amino
acids tryptophan and/or lysine were added to zein in the presence of POC13, some amino acids were covalently bound to zein, in addition to covalent attachment of phosphate groups. Threonine did not
become incorporated into zein by this method. These derivatives were much more soluble than zein above and below pH 4, the
minimum solubility point. A derivative containing 0.98 mol P/mol of zein, along with 1.05% tryptophan and 0.24% lysine, had
a relative growth effect onTetrahymena thermophili of 49% that of casein, in comparison to 4.5% for unmodified zein. All the modified zeins had improved emulsifying activity
indices. 相似文献

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is the pivotal enzyme in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids and is the only carboxylase with a biotin-containing
subunit greater than 200,000 daltons. The biotin moiety is covalently linked to the active site and has a high affinity (Kd=10−15 M) for the protein avidin. This relationship has been used in previous studies to identify acetyl-CoA carboxylase isolated
from mammalian species. However, acetyl-CoA carboxylase has not been isolated and characterized in a poikilothermic species
such as the rainbow trout. The present study describes the isolation and identification of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the cytosol
of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) liver. The enzyme was isolated using two distinct procedures—polyethylene glycol precipitation and avidin-Sepharose affinity
chromatography. Identification of the isolated protein as acetyl-CoA carboxylase was made by the following: (1) sodium dodecyl
sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; (2) avidin binding; (3) in vivo labeling with [14C]biotin; and (4) acetyl-CoA carboxylase-specific activity. The subunit molecular weight of the major protein was 230,000
daltons ±3.3%. This protein was shown to bind avidin (Mr=16,600) prior to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating the presence of biotin. In addition,
protein isolated from fish that had previously received intraperitoneal injections of [14C]biotin, showed the majority of radioactivity associated with the 230,000 dalton protein. The polyethylene glycol precipitation
yielded 200 μg protein (4.4 μg/g liver), with a specific activity of 5 nmol malonyl-CoA/min/mg protein, whereas avidin affinity
chromatography yielded 1.75±1.1 mg protein (9.0 μg/g liver), with a specific activity of 1.37±0.18 μmol malonyl-CoA/min/mg
protein. The enzyme was citrate dependent showing maximum activity between 10 and 20 mM. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase-specific activity
decreased by 50% in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. These findings suggest that the major protein (Mr=230,000) purified from rainbow trout liver is acetyl-CoA carboxylase with enzyme characteristics comparable to mammalian
acetyl-CoA carboxylase. 相似文献

A lipase secreted by the anaerobePropionibacterium acidipropionici was purified 52-fold with 27% recovery by employing a three-step purification protocol. The enzyme has a small molecular
mass (Mr = 6000–8000) as determined by gel filtration and ultracentrifugation. It hydrolyzed palm oil, coconut oil, castor
oil, olive oil, groundnut oil and tributyrin. Enzyme activity was inhibited by Ni2+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, iodoacetamide, N-acetylimidazole and nonidet P-40 but stimulated by Ca2+, Co2+, K+, Fe2+, sodium dodecyl sulfate and N-bromosuccinamide. The enzyme showed substrate inhibition for both tributyrin andp-nitrophenyl acetate. 相似文献

This report deals with the fluorometric determination of fatty alcohols generated by the reduction of the ester linkage of
lipids with NaBH4, and with the limitations of the reduction method for assaying oxidized lipids. Optimum conditions for the fluorometric analysis
of primary and secondary alcohols using 1-anthroyl nitrile were obtained. After reduction with NaBH4 in MeOH or in MeOH/benzene (8∶2, v/v), the formation of 1-hexadecanol from a variety of palmitic acid esters was measured
fluorometrically by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): From glycerides and methyl palmitate, 1–3%
(w/w) 1-hexadecanol was produced and a trace was produced from cholesteryl palmitate (10 min, 21°C). 1-Hexadecanol was never
generated from palmitic acid. Although considerable improvement occurred with the choice of the solvent for the NaBH4 reduction, the generation of primary alcohols from ester lipids usually seems inevitable. 相似文献

An extracellular esterase (EC 3.1.1.1) from a thermophilicBacillus A30-1 (ATCC 53841) was purified 139-fold to homogeneity by sodium chloride (6 M) treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation
(30–80%) and phenyl-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. The native enzyme was a single polypeptide chain with a molecular
weight of about 65,000 and an isoelectric point at pH 4.8. The optimum pH for esterase activity was 9.0, and its pH stability
range was 5.0–10.5. The optimum temperature for its activity was 60°C. The esterase had a half-life of 28 h at 50°C, 20 h
at 60°C and 16 h at 65°C. It showed the highest activity on tributyrin, with little or no activity toward long-chain (12–20
carbon) fatty acid esters. The enzyme displayed Km and Kcat values of 0.357 mM and 8365/min, respectively, for tributyrin hydrolysis at pH 9.0 and 60°C. Cyclodextrin (α, β, and γ),
Ca2+, Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+ enhanced the esterase activity, and Zn2+ and Fe2+ acted as inhibitors of the enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was not affected by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, p-chloromercuribenzoate
andN-bromosuccinimide.

The lipoxygenase (LOX) of the marine green alga Ulva fasciata was purified and immobilized in order to improve the stability and reusability. The algal LOX was partially purified by fractionation
with 35–55% saturation of ammonium sulfate and MacroPrep high Q anion exchange chromatography. The LOX was purified ten times
using linoleic acid (C18:2) or arachidonic acid (C20:4) as substrate, the Michaelis constant (K
m) of LOX was 117.6, 31.3 μM, and maximum velocity (V
max) was 12.8, 23.3 μmol hydroperoxy fatty acid/min-mg protein, respectively. The algal LOX showed the highest activity towards
C18:4 followed by C20:4, C18:2 and methyl ester of C18:4. LOX activity increased up to 10.5 times with increased concentration of Triton X-100 in the extraction medium reaching an
optimum at 0.05%. Calcium chloride, glutathione and phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride were found effective protectants to LOX
during purification. Hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HpETE) formed from arachidonic acid catalyzed by this purified algal
LOX was reduced and identified as 11-hydroxy-5,8,12,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (11-HETE) by NP-HPLC and GC–MS. This algal 11-LOX
was immobilized in alginate beads. The stability was sevenfold greater than that of the unbound lipoxygenase at 4 °C in 0.05 M
Tris–HCl buffer (pH 7.5). This is the first report on immobilization of a marine algal lipoxygenase with a view to its potential
role in seafood flavor formation. 相似文献

An alkaline acylester hydrolase was partially purified from germinated seeds of Lupinus mutabilis. Hydrolytic activity was absent in the crude extract of ungerminated lupine seed, but it increased and peaked at the fourth
day in the germinating seedling. The purification scheme involved homogenization, centrifugation, acetone precipitation, anion
exchange chromatography, pH precipitation, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The acylester hydrolase was purified
126-fold, and the overall activity yield was 10%. The molecular weight estimated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis was 60 kDa. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of 6.2 and showed maximal activity at pH 8.0. The enzyme showed
good stability between pH 5.0 and 9.0. In the pH range 7.0–7.5, enzyme precipitation was observed. The enzyme was stable from
0 to 25°C for 5 h and at 45°C lost 50% of its activity in the same period of time. At higher temperatures, the enzyme showed
low thermal stability. However, the highest initial activity was found to be at 45°C. Nonionic surfactants and cholic acid
enhanced the activity of the enzyme. The activity was reduced by the addition of toluene and isooctane and increased by the
addition of diethyl ether, acetonitrile, methanol, and pyridine. The activity was reduced by 37% in the presence of 1 mM Cu2+ ions. The enzyme-hydrolyzed triolein showing no positional specificity. 相似文献

Lipase was extracted and purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa SRT9. Culture conditions were optimized and highest lipase production amounting to 147.36 U/ml was obtained after 20 h incubation.
The extracellular lipase was purified on Mono QHR5/5 column, resulting in a purification factor of 98-fold with specific activity
of 12307.81 U/mg. Lipase was immobilized on tri (4-formyl phenoxy) cyanurate to form Schiff’s base. An immobilization yield
of 85% was obtained. The native and immobilized lipases were used for catalyzing the hydrolysis of olive oil in aqueous medium.
Comparative study revealed that immobilized lipase exhibited a shift in optimal pH from 6.9 (free lipase) to 7.5 and shift
in optimal temperature from 55 °C to 70 °C. The immobilized lipase showed 20–25% increase in thermal stability and retained
75% of its initial activity after 7 cycles. It showed good stability in organic solvents especially in 30% acetone and methanol.
Enzyme activity was decreased by ∼60% when incubated with 30% butanol. The kinetic studies revealed increase in K
M
value from 0.043 mM (native) to 0.10 mM for immobilized lipase. It showed decrease in the V
max
of immobilized enzyme (142.8 μmol min−1 mg−1), suggesting enzyme activity decrease in the course of covalent binding. The immobilized lipase retained its initial activity
for more than 30 days when stored at 4 °C in Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.0 without any significant loss in enzyme activity. 相似文献

An enzyme from the alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa, previously identified as a hydroperoxide lyase (HPLS), cleaves the 13‐hydroperoxide derivatives of linoleic and linolenic acids into a volatile C5 fragment and a C13 oxo‐product, 13‐oxo‐9(Z),11(E)tridecadienoic acid (13‐OTA). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) headspace analysis of the volatile products indicated the formation of pentane when the substrate was the 13‐hydroperoxide derivative of linoleic acid, whereas a more complex mixture of hydrocarbons was formed when the 13‐hydroperoxide derivative of linolenic acid was the substrate. Analysis of the nonvolatile products by GC/MS and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) indicated the formation of 13‐OTA along with the 13‐ketone derivative. This enzymatic activity was inhibited by oxygen but was restored with nitrogen. The enzymatic cleavage activity was coincidental in purified fractions with lipoxygenase activity that produced the 13‐ and 9‐hydroperoxide derivatives of linolenic acid. The results suggest that the enzymatic cleavage activity in Chlorella pyrenoidosa was not a consequence of hydroperoxide lyase activity as previously thought, but was due to anaerobic lipoxygenase activity. This enzyme fraction was purified by (NH4)2 SO4 precipitation, gel filtration, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purified enzyme has an approximate MW of 120 KDa and maximum activity at pH 8.0. 相似文献

Cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CEH) (EC 3.1.1.13) activity was assayed in the 104,000×g supernatant (S104) of rat and mouse
testes and livers at various temperatures between 27 C and 44 C. The CEH activity in the testis dropped from 44 pmol [4-14C] cholesteryl oleate hydrolyzed/hr/mg protein to 14 pmol hydrolyzed/hr/mg protein (a 68% decrease) between testicular and
abdominal temperatures (32 C and 37 C, respectively) in the rat. This decrease in activity is essentially a reversible phenomenon.
CEH from the testis S104 was stabilized in 10 mM EDTA and was purified by HPLC size exclusion. These steps did not alter the
temperature effect previously noted. The temperature effect on the testicular CEH was demonstrated in vivo by assaying the
enzyme following unilateral cryptorchidism. The HPLC purification yielded 3 peaks of CEH activity from the testicular S104.
The 28,000 MW peak was found to be temperature insensitive while the 70,000 and 420,000 MW peaks were temperature labile.
The liver CEH of both species remained relatively constant over the range 32—37 C. CEH is a potential regulator of both steroidogenesis
and membrane composition in the testis and its temperature lability may suggest a unique regulatory mechanism responsible
for impaired spermatogenesis seen with elevated testicular temperatures. 相似文献

Various methods were assessed for the synthesis of 7-ketocholesterol and epimeric 7-hydroxycholesterols. Upon the oxidation
of cholesteryl acetate with t-butyl chromate, the resulting ketosterol acetate crystallized from methanol consisted of about
25% unoxidized cholesteryl acetate. After the sterol acetates were hydrolyzed in an aqueous K2CO3 medium, preparative TLC was used to fractionate the ketone from cholesterol.
Of all the reducing agents employed, only LiAlH4 reduced completely the purified 7-ketocholesterol to 7-hydroxycholesterols without side reaction products and ketone contamination.
Yields of 21.3 mg of 7α-hydroxycholesterol and 72.6 mg of 7β-hydroxycholesterol were obtained by preparative TLC of a diol
mixture prepared by the LiAlH4-reduction of 100 mg of 7-ketocholesterol. To accomplish the preparative TLC separation of diol bands without overlapping,
a double development of a chromatoplate with ethyl ether-cyclohexane (90∶10, v/v) and ethyl ether was essential.
Data on the melting point, optical rotation and infrared spectra, as well as TLC and GLC characteristics, were obtained for
purified 7-ketocholesterol and epimeric 7-hydroxycholesterols. 相似文献

The present work describes the purification and characterization of peroxidase from the medicinal plant, Amsonia orientalis, for the first time. The activity recovery for peroxidase was 162% with 12.5-fold purification. Optimal purification parameters were 20% (w/v) (NH4)2SO4 saturation at pH 6.0 and 25°C with 1.0:1.0 (v/v) ratio of crude extract to t-butanol ratio for 30 min. The molecular mass of the enzyme was found to be ca. 59 kDa. Peroxidase showed Km values of 1.88 and 2.0 mM for pyrogallol and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. FeSO4, CuSO4, HgCl2, MnSO4 and MgSO4 did not inhibit the enzyme activity. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of a protein isolated from rat serum on lysosomal acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase (acid CEH; EC.3.1.1.13)
activity was studied. An inhibitor was purified from rat serum following ultracentrifugation and heat treatment using column
chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 and ultrafiltration. The purified inhibitor appeared as a single protein band in sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the inhibitor was 28,000 Daltons as judged
by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified inhibitor was shown to be apolipoprotein
A-I (apo A-I), the major apolipoprotein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), using immunoprecipitation with rat anti-apo A-I
immunoglobulin (Ig)G. Inhibition of acid CEH activity by apo A-I was dependent on the concentration of apo A-I. The values
of Vmax obtained were similar with or without apo A-I. Apo A-I of various other mammalian species, including human, bovine and rabbit,
also inhibited acid CEH activity. Other apolipoproteins, such as apo A-II and apo B, also showed inhibiting activity. On the
other hand, apo A-I had no effect on the activity of other enzymes found in lysosomes, such as cathepsin D, β-glucuronidase
and acid phosphatase. The results suggest that apolipoproteins may play a role in the regulation of hydrolysis of cholesteryl
esters in lipoproteins, that have been transferred to the liver, and that the inhibition of acid CEH activity by apo A-I may
be a characteristic of the lipid-binding protein or be due to changes of the lipid/water interface. 相似文献

Some of the component moieties of high denisty lipoproteins (HDL) were analyzed in normal subjects and in patients with hyperlipidemia.
Apoproteins A-I and A-II were quantified by radioimmunoassay, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were assessed on heparin-MnCl2 supernates of fasting plasmas. We found that HDL is enriched in triglycerides in all forms of hyperlipidemia, while the proportion
of ApoA-II is unaltered and the proportion of ApoA-I is decreased. Thus, the composition of HDL is altered in hypertriglyceridemia.
The molecular associations of ApoA-I and ApoA-II in plasma were also examined by assaying the apoprotein contents of plasma
fractions prepared by ultracentrifugation and by gel filtration column chromatography. The ApoA-I contents of d<1.063 fraction
increased in hyperlipidemia from <0.5% to ∼2%, but the ApoA-I contents of the d>1.21 fraction remained at <12% of total in
plasmas with triglyceride levels <1500 mg/dl. d>1.21 ApoA-I rose to 23% in one plasma with a triglyceride level of >1700 mg/dl.
On column chromatography, ApoA-I eluted with the lipoproteins and also in a fraction whose molecular weight (MW) appreared
to be ∼50,000 daltons. The proportion of plasma ApoA-I which eluted in the 50,000 MW peak was positively correlated with plasma
triglyceride levels, but at triglyceride levels of <1500 mg/dl, <20% of ApoA-I was in the 50,000 MW peak. Between levels of
∼2000 and 12,000 mg/dl, the percentage “50,000 M.W. ApoA-I” was 20–25%. The ApoA-II contents of d<1.063 fractions were also
increased in hyperlipidemia, but >95% of ApoA-II was found in the HDL fractions in both normal and hyperlipidemic plasma both
by column chromatography and ultracentrifugation. Thus, the molecular association of ApoA-I appears to be altered in hyperlipidemia. 相似文献

Oxygenation of linoleic acid by the enzyme lipoxygenase (LOX) that is present in the microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa is known to produce the corresponding 9-and 13-hydroperoxide derivatives of linoleic acid (9- and 13-HPOD, respectively).
Previous work with this microalga indicated that partially purified LOX, present in the 30–45 and 45–80% saturated (NH4)2SO4 precipitate fractions, produced both HPOD isomers but in different ratios. It was not clear, however, if the observed activity
in the two isolates represented the presence of one or more isozymes. In the present work, LOX isolated from the intracellular
fraction of Chlorella by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation (35–80% saturated) was purified by ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography to apparent homogeneity.
Analysis of the purified protein by SDS-PAGE and subsequent native size exclusion chromatography demonstrated that LOX in
Chlorilla is a single monomeric protein with a molecular mass of approximately 47 kDa. The purified LOX produced both the 9-HPOD and
13-HPOD isomers from linoleic acid in equal amounts, and the isomer ratio was not altered over the pH range of 6 to 9. Optimal
activity of LOX was at pH 7.5. 相似文献

The solubilization and partial purification of cholinephosphotransferase (CDPcholine:1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
EC 2.7.8.2) from rat liver microsomes were examined in the presence of ionic (sodium deoxycholate), nonionic (Triton X-100,n-octylglycoside), or zwitter ionic (CHAPS) detergents. Among the four detergents tested, only sodium deoxycholate was found
to be an efficient solubilizer of cholinephosphotransferase activity from microsomal membranes, whereas the other three detergents
caused irreversible inactivation of the enzyme at the solubilization step. Addition of phospholipids at the solubilization
step, or after solubilization of the membrane proteins, could not preserve or reconstitute activity to any extent. The sodium
deoxycholate-solubilized activity was partially purified by gel permeation chromatography (Superose 12HR). The partially purified
preparation appeared to consist of a large aggregate containing phospholipids; further dissociation of the protein-phospholipid
complex caused complete inactivation of the enzyme. The partially purified cholinephosphotransferase showed a specific activity
of 100–130 nmol/min/mg protein, which is the highest activity reported to date from any tissue source; this amounts to a 4-fold
enrichment of cholinephosphotransferase activity from the original KCl-washed rat liver microsomes. Ethanolaminephosphotransferase
(CDPethanolamine:1,2-diacylglycerol ethanolaminephosphotransferase, EC 2.7.8.1) activity was copurified and 6-fold enriched
with a total recovery of 60%. During the purification of cholinephosphotransferase activity, a putative endogenous inhibitor
of cholinephosphotransferase was also solubilized and was isolated from the microsomal membranes. This heat-labile, nondialyzable
inhibitor was shown to act specifically on cholinephosphotransferase and not on ethanolaminephosphotransferase. Further characterization
of the inhibitory activity revealed that it may act at the binding step of the cholinephosphotransferase to its lipid substrate,
diacylglycerol. 相似文献
