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.

Key Enzyme

Melanogenesis is a biosynthetic pathway for the formation of the pigment melanin in human skin. A key enzyme, tyrosinase, catalyzes the first and only rate-limiting steps in melanogenesis. Since the discovery of its melanogenic properties, tyrosinase has been in prime focus and microbial sources of the enzyme are sought. Agaricus bisporus widely known as the common edible mushroom, it’s taking place in high amounts of proteins, enzyme, carbohydrates, fibers, and low fat contents are frequently cited in the literature in relation to their nutritional value. In the present study tyrosinase from Agaricus bisporus was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis followed by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-100, and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose; the enzyme was purified, 16.36-fold to give 26.6% yield on total activity in the crude extract and final specific activity of 52.19 U/mg. The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed a migrating protein band molecular weight of 95 kDa. The purified tyrosinase was optimized and the results revealed that the optimum values are pH 7.0 and temperature 35°C. The highest activity was reported towards its natural substrate, L-DOPA, with an apparent Km value of 0.933 mM. This indicated that tyrosinase purified from Agaricus bisporus is a potential source for medical applications.

Apparent Homogeneity

A ferricyanide-utilizing NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase) from the plasma membrane of Ehrlich ascites tumour cells has been purified about 1500-fold to apparent homogeneity. The method comprises the isolation of an enriched plasma membrane fraction, solubilization with Triton X-100, ion-exchange chromatography, ammonium sulphate precipitation, Cibacron Blue chromatography and fast-protein liquid chromatography with a Superose-6 gel filtration column. The specific activity of the final pool was more than 61 units/mg protein. The pure enzyme examined by SDS/PAGE displayed only one type of subunit with an apparent molecular mass of 32.0 kDa. The molecular mass of the native protein (117.0 kDa) was estimated by gel filtration; these results suggest a protein composed of four subunits of identical molecular mass. The enzyme was stable in the pH interval between 6 and 9, with maximum activity at pH values from 7.5 to 8.5. The purified enzyme showed Michaelis–Menten kinetics for the substrates, with apparent Km values of 4.3×10-5 M and 6.7×10-5 M for NADH and ferricyanide respectively. The isolated protein was strongly inhibited by Zn2+ and the thiol-specific reagents mersalyl and p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonic acid.

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 reveals the chitinase producing ability of some fungi isolates cultured from the rhizosphere of different fruit trees such as mango, cassava, guava, and banana inside FUTA farm. A total of 16 isolates identified as Aspergillus nidulans, A. niger, A.flavus, A. fumigatus, A. ripens, Trichoderma viride, Mucor mucedo, Penicillium frequentans, Rhizopus stolonifer, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, Gibbelula suffulfa and Geotrichum albidum were obtained and screened for chitinolytic activity. The effect of cultural conditions such as pH, temperature, metal ion, nitrogen source and carbon source was determined on Aspergillus nidulans, being the best chitinase producer. Further, the chitinase produced by Aspergillus nidulans was concentrated by ammonium sulphate precipitation and purified consecutively by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature for chitinase activity and stability were examined as well as the effect of metal ions on the enzyme activity. The enzyme was most active at pH 7.0 and it was relatively stable at pH 4.0 - 9.0 retaining over 60% of initial activity after 120 min of incubation. The enzyme was most active at 50°C, possessing high thermal stability at high temperature of 70°C. The purified chitinase was significantly inactivated at 80°C and almost completely at 90°C when it was pre-incubated at these temperatures for 60 min. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by FeSO4, ZnCl2 and MnCl2 and was less sensitive to CaCl2 and KCl. This purified Aspergillus nidulans chitinase can be used as a catalyst for the degradation of chitin-containing compounds.

Purification of Cephalosporin-C Acylase and Its Optimization of Ion-Exchange ChromatographyABSTRACTCephalosporin-C acylase (CCA) has an important role in the one-step conversion of cephalosporin-C into 7-ACA. Purification process aims to increase specific activity of CCA enzyme. Purification began with cell lysis, ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, ion exchange chromatography (IEC) and size exclusion chromatography. IEC optimization of elution step was also done to compare gradient and isocratic elusion. Purification was capable to increase the enzyme purity upto 33.66 fold, with specific activity of 3.00 U/mg and the yield reached 41.41%. Optimization of elusion during IEC showed that isocratic protein elusion was more efficient (taking shorter time, 3 column volume (CV) only) than that of gradient batch (up to 9 CV). SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that the recombinant CCA enzyme existed in two types, active enzyme containing α-subunit (25 kDa) and β-subunit (58 kDa), and inactive enzyme (83 kDa) as precursor. Furthermore, 30% ammonium sulphate saturated precipitation was able to precipitate this inactive CCA.Keywords: 7-ACA,CCA, cephalosporin C, protein purification, specific activity ABSTRAKSefalosporin-C asilase (CCA) merupakan enzim yang berperan penting dalam konversi satu tahap sefalosporin-C menjadi 7-ACA.
