Abstract:
Purified lentil seedling amino oxidase (LSAO) is homogeneous in the analytical ultracentrifuge, but shows heterogeneity in gel-filtration HPLC and in PAGE. Two components were obtained from HPLC and PAGE, but at least 6-7 subforms were seen by electrofocusing techniques. The chromatographic and electrophoretic forms are not interconvertible, indicating the presence of covalent differences. The electrophoretic pattern, but not the chromatographic pattern, is modified by treating the enzyme with a pool of glycohydrolases. The copper-free enzyme shows the same type of heterogeneity as the native enzyme, this ruling out the possibility that some subforms were due to the presence of apoenzyme.Keywords:

Two fish aminopeptidases designated as aminopeptidases I and II were purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and isoelectric focusing. The final preparations of enzymes I and II were judged nearly homogenous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of enzymes I and II were determined by gel filtration to be 370, 000 and 320, 000, respectively. The isoelectric points were 4. 1 (I) and 4.8 (II). Both enzymes were inhibited by EDTA and activated by Co++. Bestatin could inhibit enzyme I but not enzyme II. Enzymes I and II rapidly hydrolyzed not only synthetic substrates containing alanine or leucine but also di-, tri-, and tetra-alanine. Judged from all of these properties, sardine aminopeptidases resemble human alanine aminopeptidase. Enzyme I retained more than 70% of its original activity in 15% NaCl, suggesting the enzyme participates in hydrolyzing fish proteins and peptides during fish sauce production.

1. A five-step procedure for preparing highly purified aspartate aminotransferase from ox heart is described. 2. The homogeneity of the pure enzyme was established by criteria such as ultracentrifugation and electrophoresis in starch gel and in polyacrylamide gel. 3. The pure enzyme has an isoelectric point of about pH5, and E(1%) (1cm.) 14.40 at 278mmu. 4. The molecular weight of the pure enzyme was determined as 96000 by sedimentation equilibrium. 5. The pH optimum for the pure enzyme was about 8. It was determined by a new assay technique. 6. A difference in the electrophoretic migration rate between the enzyme from ox heart and brain and the enzyme from pig heart and brain suggests a species specificity rather than an organ specificity. 7. A new effect of deionization on the visible-absorption spectrum of the enzyme was observed.

By utilizing conventional techniques of pressure ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide electrophoresis, the L component of the group D lysin produced by Streptococcus zymogenes strains has been purified to a state of homogeneity as determined by the techniques of disc-gel electrophoresis at p H 9.3 and 4.3 and isoelectric focusing. The L component was found to be a protein possessing a molecular weight of 11,000 with a slight net negative charge at physiological p H.
