Trichoderma koningii G-39 produced xylanases in submerged culture using oat spelt xylan or crystalline cellulose, Avicel, as the sole carbon source. A low-Mr xylanase was purified from the culture filtrate by ion-exchange chromatography on SP-Trisacryl-M and gel filtration on Fractogel TSK HW-50F. It was homogeneous on SDS/PAGE and isoelectric focusing. A typical procedure provided about 11-fold purification with 4.5% protein yield and 50% activity recovery. The purified enzyme has an Mr value of about 21,500 and a pI of 8.9. Its specific activity was 6100 units/mg of protein, with optimal activity towards 0.5% xylan at about pH 5.5 and 60 degrees C. The purified enzyme had no activity against CM-cellulose with a degree of substitution of 0.63. It also showed no beta-xylosidase activity. The Km and Vmax. values, as determined with the soluble fraction of oat spelt xylan as substrate, were 0.70 mg/ml and 1.85 x 10(6) mumol/min per mg of enzyme respectively. Hg2+ (1 mM) and SDS (10 mM) completely inhibited xylanase activity, whereas Ca2+ showed no significant effect on the enzyme activity at 1 mM, but gave 80% inhibition at 10 mM. The enzyme contained about 4.4% carbohydrate and showed an immunological relationship to a cellobiohydrolase from the same fungal strain.

This study deals with purification and characterization of lignin peroxidase (LiP) isolated from Agaricus bitorqus A66 during decolorization of NOVASOL Direct Black dye. A laboratory scale experiment was conducted for maximum LiP production under optimal conditions. Purification & fractionation of LiP was performed on DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography followed by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration. The purified LiP has a specific activity of 519 U/mg with 6.73% activity recover. The optimum pH and temperature of purified LiP for the oxidation of veratryl alcohol were 6.8 and 45 °C, respectively. Michaelis-Menten kinetic constants (Vmax and Km) were determined using different concentrations of veratryl alcohol (1-35 mM). The Km and Vmax were 16.67 mM and 179.2 U/mL respectively, for veratryl alcohol oxidation as determined from the Lineweaver-Burk plot. Thermal inactivation studies were carried out at different temperatures to check the thermal stability of the enzyme. Enthalpy of activation decreased where Free energy of activation for thermal denaturation increased at higher temperatures. A possible explanation for the thermal inactivation of LiP at higher temperatures is also discussed.

The Cost

Streptokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme and a product of β-hemolytic Streptococci strains. This enzyme is used as a medication to break down clots in some cases of heart disease. Streptococcus equisimilis, a species of group C Streptococci, is widely used for the production of streptokinase by fermentation technology. In this study, the sugarcane bagasse fermentation medium was optimized for metal ions (KH2PO4, MgSO4.7H2O, CaCO3 and NaHCO3) at various levels to attain the maximal production of streptokinase. Sugarcane bagasse was used due to its profuse availability and as an ideal substrate for microbial processes for the manufacturing of value-added products. The results showed that maximal streptokinase production was found at 0.04% KH2PO4, 0.04% MgSO4.7H2O, 0.15% NaHCO3 and 0.04% CaCO3. Finally, the optimized medium resulted in 84.75 U/mg specific activity and 74.5% recovery. The purification process was carried out simultaneously using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. Finally, a purified sample of streptokinase was run on SDS-PAGE and resolute 47 kDa molecular weight. The use of β-hemolytic Streptococci to obtain streptokinase is not free from health risks and is related to anaphylaxis. This study provides a way forward for the cost-effective ways to obtain streptokinase for the treatment of thrombosis.

Optimal Efficiency

Cytosolic pyruvate kinase (PKc) from ripened banana (Musa cavendishii L.) fruits has been purified 543-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity and a final specific activity of 59.7µmol of pyruvate produced/min per mg of protein. SDS/PAGE and gel-filtration FPLC of the final preparation indicated that this enzyme exists as a 240kDa homotetramer composed of subunits of 57kDa. Although the enzyme displayed a pH optimum of 6.9, optimal efficiency in substrate utilization [in terms of Vmax/Km for phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) or ADP] was equivalent at pH6.9 and 7.5. PKc activity was absolutely dependent upon the presence of a bivalent and a univalent cation, with Mg2+ and K+ respectively fulfilling this requirement. Hyperbolic saturation kinetics were observed for the binding of PEP, ADP, Mg2+ and K+ (Km values of 0.098, 0.12, 0.27 and 0.91mM respectively). Although the enzyme utilized UDP, IDP, GDP and CDP as alternative nucleotides, ADP was the preferred substrate. L-Glutamate and MgATP were the most effective inhibitors, whereas L-aspartate functioned as an activator by reversing the inhibition of PKc by L-glutamate. The allosteric features of banana PKc are compared with those of banana PEP carboxylase [Law and Plaxton (1995) Biochem. J. 307, 807Ő816]. A model is presented which highlights the roles of cytosolic pH, MgATP, L-glutamate and L-aspartate in the co-ordinate control of the PEP branchpoint in ripening bananas.

An extremely thermostable ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) has been purified from Thermus caldophilus GK-24 to homogeneity by chromatographic methods, including gel filtration and ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the enzyme was enriched 134.8-fold with a recovery of 10.5%. The purified enzyme was a single band by SDS/PAGE with a molecular mass of 52 kDa. The homotetrameric structure of the native enzyme was determined by gel filtration analysis, which showed a molecular mass of 230 kDa on a Superose-12 column, indicating that the structure of the enzyme is different from the heterotetrameric structures of higher-plant AGPases. The enzyme was most active at pH 6.0. The activity was maximal at 73–78 °C and its half-life was 30 min at 95 °C. Kinetic and regulatory properties were characterized. It was found that AGPase activity could be stimulated by a number of glycolytic intermediates. Fructose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, phenylglyoxal and glucose 6-phosphate were effective activators, of which fructose 1,6-bisphosphate was the most effective. The enzyme was inhibited by phosphate, AMP or ADP. ATP and glucose 1-phosphate gave hyperbolic-shaped rate-concentration curves in the presence or absence of activator. A remarkable aspect of the amino acid composition was the existence of the hydrophobic and Ala+Gly residues. The N-terminal and internal peptide sequences were determined and compared with known sequences of various sources. It was apparently similar to those of AGPases from other bacterial and plant sources, suggesting that the enzymes are structurally related.

Production of extracellular β-1, 3-glucanase activity by a monokaryotic Schizophyllum commune strain was monitored and results indicated that the β-glucanase activity consisted of an endo- β-1, 3-glucanase activity, besides a negligible amount of β-1, 6-glucanase and β-glucosidase activity. Unlike the β-1, 3-glucanase production of the dikaryotic parent strain S. commune ATCC 38548, the β-1, 3-glucanase formation of the monokaryon was not regulated by catabolite repression. The endo- β-1, 3-glucanase of the monokaryon was purified from the culture filtrate by lyophilization, anion exchange chromatography on Mono Q, and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-100. It appeared homogeneous on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 35.5 kDa and the isoelectric point was 3.95. The enzyme was only active toward glucans containing β-1, 3-linkages, including lichenan, a β-1, 3-1, 4-D-glucan. It attacked laminarin in an endo-like fashion to form laminaribiose, laminaritriose, and high oligosaccharides. While the extracellular β-glucanases from the dikaryotic S. commune ATCC 38548 degraded significant amounts of schizophyllan, the endo- β-1, 3-glucanase from the monokaryon showed greatly reduced activity toward this high molecular mass β-1, 3-/β-1, 6-glucan. The Km of the endoglucanase, using laminarin as substrate, was 0.28 mg/mL. Optimal pH and temperature were 5.5 and 50 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable between pH 5.5 and 7.0 and at temperatures below 50 °C. The enzyme was completely inhibited by 1 mM Hg2+. Growth of the monokaryotic S. commune strain was not affected by its constitutive endo- β-1, 3-glucanase formation.Key words: endo- β-1, 3-glucanase, Schizophyllum commune, monokaryon, constitutive endo- β-1, 3-glucanase formation.
