Clavispora Lusitaniae

In the present study, α-amylase and pullulanase from Clavispora lusitaniae ABS7 isolated from wheat seeds were studied. The gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography revealed the presence of α-amylase and pullulanase activities in the same fraction with yields of 23.88% and 21.11%, respectively. SDS-PAGE showed a single band (75 kDa), which had both α-amylase (independent of Ca2+) and pullulanase (a calcium metalloenzyme) activities. The products of the enzymatic reaction on pullulan were glucose, maltose, and maltotriose, whereas the conversion of starch produced glucose and maltose. The α-amylase and pullulanase had pH optima at 9 and temperature optima at 75 and 80 °C, respectively. After heat treatment at 100 °C for 180 min, the pullulanase retained 42% of its initial activity, while α-amylase maintained only 38.6%. The cations Zn2+, Cu2+, Na+, and Mn2+ increased the α-amylase activity. Other cations Hg2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ were stimulators of pullulanase. Urea and Tween 80 inhibited both enzymes, whereas EDTA only inhibited pullulanase. In addition, the amylopullulanase retained its activity in the presence of various commercial laundry detergents. The performance of the alcalothermostable enzyme of Clavispora lusitaniae ABS7 qualified it for the industrial use, particularly in detergents, since it had demonstrated an excellent stability and compatibility with the commercial laundry detergents.

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.

Stimulating Factor

Background: The recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor con-jugated with polyethylene glycol (PEGylated GCSF) has currently been used as an efficient drug for the treatment of neutropenia caused by chemotherapy due to its long circulating half-life. Previous studies showed that Granulocyte Colony Stimula-ting Factor (GCSF) could be expressed as non-classical Inclusion Bodies (ncIBs), which contained likely correctly folded GCSF inside at low temperature. Therefore, in this study, a simple process was developed to produce PEGylated GCSF from ncIBs. Methods: BL21 (DE3)/pET-GCSF cells were cultured in the LiFlus GX 1.5 L bioreactor and the expression of GCSF was induced by adding 0.5 mM IPTG. After 24 hr of fermentation, cells were collected, resuspended, and disrupted. The insoluble fraction was obtained from cell lysates and dissolved in 0.1% N-lauroylsarcosine solution. The presence and structure of dissolved GCSF were verified using SDS-PAGE, Native-PAGE, and RP-HPLC analyses. The dissolved GCSF was directly used for the con-jugation with 5 kDa PEG. The PEGylated GCSF was purified using two purification steps, including anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. Results: PEGylated GCSF was obtained with high purity (~97%) and was finally demonstrated as a form containing one GCSF molecule and one 5 kDa PEG molecule (monoPEG-GCSF). Conclusion: These results clearly indicate that the process developed in this study might be a potential and practical approach to produce PEGylated GCSF from ncIBs expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Abstractβ-Glucosidases are important in the formation of floral tea aroma and the development of resistance to pathogens and herbivores in tea plants. A novel β-glucosidase was purified 117-fold to homogeneity, with a yield of 1.26%, from tea leaves by chilled acetone and ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography (CM-Sephadex C-50) and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC; Superdex 75, Resource S). The enzyme was a monomeric protein with specific activity of 2.57 U/mg. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be about 41 kDa and 34 kDa by SDS-PAGE and FPLC gel filtration on Superdex 200, respectively. The enzyme showed optimum activity at 50 °C and was stable at temperatures lower than 40 °C. It was active between pH 4.0 and pH 7.0, with an optimum activity at pH 5.5, and was fairly stable from pH 4.5 to pH 8.0. The enzyme showed maximum activity towards pNPG, low activity towards pNP-Galacto, and no activity towards pNP-Xylo.

Abstract Mitogen-stimulated mononuclear blood cells produce differentiation inducing factors (DIFs) for the promyelocytic cell line HL-60. We report that DIF is produced constitutively by a malignant T lymphocyte line HUT-102. DIF was purified 7,000-fold from HUT-102 conditioned media by utilizing ion-exchange chromatography with DEAE-Sepharose, gel chromatography, Blue-Sepharose chromatography, and preparative SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The final preparation is susceptible to protease treatment, has a molecular weight of 46,000, as determined by SDS-PAGE and approximately 55,000 by gel filtration, has an isoelectric point of approximately 5.2, does not adhere to lectin- Sepharose and is resistant to periodate oxidation, and is free of colony-stimulating factor. DIF induced maturation of HL-60 into phagocytizing nitro blue tetrazolium reducing cells with the morphological characteristics of myelomonocytic or monocyte-like cells. An activity, co-chromatographing with DIF, acts synergistically with retinoic acid to induce maturation not only of HL-60, but also of the monoblast-like cell line U-937 (measured as percentage of cells reducing NBT).

Yeast Yarrowia Lipolytica

Two similar glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), which do not bind to glutathione– or S-hexylglutathione–agarose affinity resins, have been purified from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. An approx. 400-fold purification was obtained by a combination of DEAE-Sephadex, phenyl-Sepharose, hydroxyapatite and Mono-Q anion-exchange chromatography. The native molecular mass of both proteins was estimated as approx. 110 kDa by both Superose-12 gel-filtration chromatography and non-denaturing electrophoresis. SDS/PAGE indicated a subunit mass of 50 kDa. Reverse-phase HPLC of purified proteins gave a single, well-resolved, peak, suggesting that the proteins are homodimers. Identical behaviour on HPLC, native electrophoresis and SDS/PAGE, N-terminal sequencing, sensitivity to a panel of inhibitors and identical specific activities with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrate suggest that the two isoenzymes are very similar. The enzymes do not immunoblot with antisera to any of the main GST classes, and N-terminal sequencing suggests no clear relationship with previously characterized enzymes, such as that of the fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium [Dowd, Buckley and Sheehan (1997) Biochem. J. 324, 243–248]. It is possible that the two isoenzymes arise as a result of post-translational modification of a single GST isoenzyme.

An extracellular keratinase from Bacillus pumilus KS12 was purified by DEAE ion exchange chromatography. It was a 45 kDa monomer as determined by SDS PAGE analysis. It was found to be an alkaline, serine protease with pH and temperature optima of 10 and 60C, respectively. It was thiol activated with two- and eight-fold enhancement in presence of 10 mM DTT and β-mercaptoethanol, respectively. In addition, its activity was stimulated in the presence of various surfactants, detergents, and oxidizing agents where a nearly 2- to 3-fold enhancement was observed in presence of H2O2 and NaHClO3. It hydrolyzed broad range of complex substrates including feather keratin, haemoglobin, fibrin, casein,and α-keratin. Analysis of amidolytic activity revealed that it efficiently cleaved phenylalanine → leucine → alanine- p-nitroanilides. It also cleaved insulin B chain between Val2- Asn3, Leu6-Cys7 and His10-Leu11 residues.

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.

The extracellular α-amylase activity of the yeast Schwanniomyces alluvius has been purified by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel-filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-100. Sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and N-terminal amino acid analysis of the purified sample indicated that the enzyme preparation was homogeneous. The enzyme is a glycoprotein having a molecular mass of 52 kilodaltons (kDa) estimated by SDS–PAGE and 39 kDa by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. Chromatofocusing shows that it is an acidic protein. It is resistant to trypsin but sensitive to proteinase K. Its activity is inhibited by the divalent cation chelators EDTA and EGTA and it is insensitive to sulfhydryl-blocking agents. Exogenous divalent cations are inhibitory as are high concentrations of monovalent salts. The enzyme has a pH optimum between 3.75 and 5.5 and displays maximum stability in the pH range of 4.0–7.0. Under the conditions tested, the activity is maximal between 45 and 50 °C and is very thermolabile. Analysis of its amino acid composition supports its acidic nature.
