Abstract

Myrosinase from radish was purified by DEAE Bio-Gel, Con-A, and Superose-6 column. The purified myrosinase(II) possessed 2 subunits, and their molecular as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were 53 and 39 KD, respectively. The specific activity of purified enzyme was 37,500 units/mg. The enzyme was purified approximately 44-fold compared to the crude enzyme. Optimum pH of the myrosinase was $6.5{\sim}7.0$ in phosphate and Tris-HCl buffer solutions. Optimum temperature of the enzyme was $37{\sim}38^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.0, and less than $30^{\circ}C$. Cu or Hg ion significantly inhibited the enzyme activity, but ascorbic acid enhanced, resulting in a maximum activity by 1 mM ascorbic acid. Among the ascorbic acid analogues, dehydroascorbic acid did not affect, whereas others showed a little effect, but less than ascorbic acid itself. Individual 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol (reducing agents) did not enhance the enzyme activity. but 2-mercaptoethanol effect was enhanced when mixed with ascorbic acid.

무에서 DEAE Bio-Gel, Con-A 및 Superose-6 칼럼을 이용하여 myrosinase를 정제하고 그 효소학적 특성을 검토한 결과 myrosinase(II)는 2개의 subunits를 가졌으며, 이들의 분자량은 SDS-GAGE상에서 각각 53 및 39 KD였다. 정제된 무효소의 비활성도는 37,500 units/mg이었으며, 정제도는 44배였다. 최적 활성 pH는 phosphate 및 Tris-HCl 완충액에서 $6.5{\sim}7.0$이었으며, pH7.0에서 그 효소활성이 가장 안정하였다. 활성 최적온도는 $37{\sim}38^{\circ}C$였고, 열안정성은 $30^{\circ}C$ 이하였다. 무 myrosinase에 대한 무기염의 영향은 구리 및 수은 이온은 효소 활성을 매우 저해하며, ascorbic acid의 농도별 영향은 1 mM일 때 최대활성을 나타내었다. Ascorbic acid analogue에 대한 활성은 dehydroascorbic acid에 대해서는 거의 없었으며, 나머지 analogue들도 ascorbic acid보다 상당히 활성이 낮았다. 무 myrosinase에 대한 환원제의 영향은 2-mercaptoethanol과 dithiothreitol에 의해서는 활성을 나타내지 않았으나, 이들을 ascorbic acid 등 2-mercaptoethanol과 함께 첨가하면 활성을 나타내었다.
