Purification and Properties of Extracellular Protease from Streptomyces rimosus

Streptomyces rimosus가 생산하는 Protease의 정제와 특성

Extracellular neutral pretense of Streptomyces rimosus producing oxytetracycline was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE Sephadex A-50 chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filteration, and was showed single band on the cathodic gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were pH 8.0 and 6$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was activated about 80% in the presence of Co$^{2+}$ ion, and strongly inhibited by Hg$^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$ and chelatig agent, EDTA. Molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 12, 000. The Km value of the enzyme of casein as a substrate was 2.7$\times$10$^{-4}$M.

Oxytetracycline 생산균주인 Streptomyces rimosus를 maltose 2%, NH$_4$Cl 0.5%, yeast extract 0.4 %, MGSO$_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.2% 조성의 배지를 배양초기 PH 6.5로 하여 3$0^{\circ}C$, 72시간 진탕배양하여 얻은, 세포외 protease를 유안분획, Sephadex A-50 이온교환, Sephadex G-100 gel 여과를 행하여 정제하였다. 효소의 최적온도는 5$0^{\circ}C$이며, 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, Co$^{2+}$ 이온에 의해 활성화되며 Hg$^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$ 및 EDTA에 의해 저해를 받으며 casein 분자량을 23,600으로 추정하여 구한 Km값은 2.7$\times$$10^{-4}$M이었다.
