초록

Proteus mirabilis로부터 glutathione 분해에 관여하는 cysteinylglycine 분해효소를 정제하고 그 성질을 검토하였다. 본 균이 생산하는 cysteinylglycinase의 정제는 무세포추출액에 비해 비활성이 16배 증가하였고 0.68%의 낮은 수율을 나타내었다. Cysteinylglycinase는 (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$침전과정에서 활성을 크게 손실하는 등 정제과정에서 불안정하였으며 투석중에 형성되는 불용성 침전물은 4% Triton X-100 처리에 의해 효과적으로 용해되었다. 본 효소의 일반적 성질은 pH7.3, 온도 35$^{\circ}C$에서 최대 활성을 나타내었다. 열안정성은 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 열처리에 의해 30%의 활성손실을 보였으며 pH7.0-8.0에서 안정하였다. 이 효소의 분자량은 190.000이었으며 Mn이온과 Mg이온에 의해 활성이 촉진되었고 반응액에 Mg이온을 첨가한 후 30분간 preincubation 하므로서 최대 활성을 보였다. Cysteinylglycine에 대한 Km값과 Vmax 값은 각기 1.60mM과 0.24munit/mg 이었다.

Cysteinylglycinase was partially purified from Proteus mirabilis by consecutive procedure. The specific activity was increased about 16-fold to that of cell-free extract. The enzyme was found rather unstable on ammonium sulfate precipitation ann the precipitated enzyme protein became partially insoluble during dialysis. The precipitated enzyme was found to be solubilized by treatment of 4% Triton X-100 effectiviely, The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme activity were 35$^{\circ}C$ and 7.3, respectively. After heat treatment of the enzyme at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, it lost the activity to 70%. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0-8.0. The molecular weight of the cysteinylglycinase was found to be about 190,000 by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The enzyme was activated by the addition of Mn$^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions. The maximal activation was obtained in preincubation with $Mg^{2+}$ ion for 30 min. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of various dipeptides and tripeptides. The Km and Vmax values for cysteinylglycine were 1.60 mM and 0.24 m unit/ mg, respectively.
