Characterization of a Fibrinolytic Metalloenzyme from a Wild Mushroom, Tricholoma sejunctum

Metalloenzyme was purified from the fruiting bodies of Tricholoma sejunctum. MALDI-TOF and ICP/MS analyses revealed that the enzyme had a molecular weight of 18788.25 and includes $Zn^{2+}$ ion. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was Ala-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Ile-X-Ser-Ala-Thr-His-Gln-X-X-Leu-Val. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, indicating that the enzyme was a metalloprotease. No inhibition was found with E-64 and pepstatin. It has broad substrate specificity for synthetic peptides. The enzyme was stable up to $40^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was increased by $Zn^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$, while it was totally inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$. The enzyme hydrolyzes $A{\alpha}$ subunit of human fibrinogen but did not show any reactivity for $B{\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$ form of human fibrinogen.

쓴송이버섯으로부터 분리한 혈전용해 금속효소의 특성 연구

쓴송이버섯으로부터 분리한 혈전용해효소(TSFE)의 활성은 11.42 U/mg이었으며, N-terminal amino acid 서열은 Ala-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Ile-X-Ser-Ala-Thr-His-Gln-X-X-Leu-Val로 지금까지 발표되지 않은 새로운 효소였다. MALDI-TOF와 ICP/MS로 분자량은 18788.25 Da이며, $Zn^{2+}$을 함유하는 금속효소임을 알게 되었다. 이 효소는 $40^{\circ}C$까지 열에 안정하고, 특히 합성된 기질 Lys pNA를 강하게 분해하였다. $Zn^{2+}$와 $Co^{2+}$에 의해 활성이 증가되고, EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, $Hg^{2+}$에 의해서는 활성이 완전히 소멸되었다. 이 효소는 섬유소원의 $A{\alpha}$ chain은 분해하지만, $B{\beta}$ chain과 ${\gamma}$ chain은 분해하지 못했다.
