  • The recombinant alanine dehydrogenase (ADH) from E. coli containing Thermus caldophilus ADH was purified to homogeneity from a cell-free extract. The enzyme was purified 38-fold with a yield of 68% from the starting cell-free extract. The purified enzyme gave a single band in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and its molecular weight was estimated to be 45 kDa. The pH optimum was 8.0 for reductive amination of pyruvate and 12.0 for oxidative deamination of L-alanine. The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by 1 mM $Zn^{2+}$, 20% hexane, and 20% $CHCl_3$. However, 10 mM $Mg^{2+}$ and 40% propanol had no effect on the enzyme activity. The Michaelis constants ($K_m$) for the substrates were $50\;\mu\textrm{M}$ for NADH, 0.2 mM for pyruvate, 39.4 mM for $NH_4+$, 2.6 mM for L-alanine, and 1.8 mM for $NAD^+$.

  • A fibrinolytic enzyme was produced by an edible mushroom of Pleurotus ostreatus using submerged culture fermentation. The enzyme was purified from the culture supernatant by applying a combination of freeze-thaw treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction, and gel filtration chromatographies. The enzyme was purified by a 147-fold, with a yield of 7.54%. The molecular masses of the enzyme an determined by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE were 13.6 and 18.2 kDa, respectively. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 8.52. It hydrolyzed fibrinogen by cleaving the ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ chains of fibrinogen followed by the ${\gamma}$ chains, and also activated plasminogen into plasmin. The enzyme was optimally active at $45^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.4. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by EDTA, whereas protease inhibitors of TPCK, SBTI, PMSF, aprotinin and pepstatin showed no inhibition on its activity. The partial amino acid sequences of the enzyme as determined by Q-TOF2 were ATFVGCSATR, GGTLIHESSHFTR, and YTTWFGTFVTSR. These sequences showed a high degree of homology with those of metallo-endopeptidases from P. ostreatus and Armillaria mellea. The purified enzyme can also be applied as a natural agent for oral fibrinolytic therapy or prevention of thrombosis.

  • A laccase was isolated from the culture filtrate of the basidiomycete Fomitella fraxinea. The enzyme was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme was identified as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 47 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel-filtration chromatography, and had an isoelectric point of 3.8. The N-terminal amino acid sequence for the enzyme was ATXSNXKTLAAD, which had a very low similarity to the sequences previously reported for laccases from other basidiomycetes. The optimum pH and temperature for 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) were 3.0 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme also showed a much higher level of specific activity for ABTS and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), where the $K_m$ values of the enzyme for ABTS and 2,6-DMP were 270 and $426{\mu}M$, respectively, and the $V_{max}$ values were 876 and $433.3{\mu}M/min$, respectively. The laccase activity was completely inhibited by L-cysteine, dithiothreitol (DTT), and sodium azide, significantly inhibited by $Ni^+,\;Mn^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$, and slightly stimulated by $K^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$.

  • The purification and characterization of a $Mn^{2+}$-dependent alkaline serine protease produced by Bacillus pumilus TMS55 were investigated. The enzyme was purified in three steps: concentrating the crude enzyme using ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by gel filtration and cation-exchange chromatography. The purified protease had a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa, was highly active over a broad pH range of 7.0 to 12.0, and remained stable over a pH range of 7.5 to 11.5. The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was found to be $60^{\circ}C$. PMSF and AEBSF (1 mM) significantly inhibited the protease activity, indicating that the protease is a serine protease. $Mn^{2+}$ ions enhanced the activity and stability of the enzyme. In addition, the purified protease remained stable with oxidants ($H_2O_2$, 2%) and organic solvents (25%), such as benzene, hexane, and toluene. Therefore, these characteristics of the protease and its dehairing ability indicate its potential for a wide range of commercial applications.

  • Aspartase (EC 4.3.1.1) from Hafnia alvei was purified to homogeneity by a combination of DEAE-cellulose, Red A-agarose, and Sepharose 6B chromatography. The purified enzyme appeared homogeneous on denatured SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme was a tetrameric protein composed of identical subunits with a molecular weight of 55,000 daltons. The optimum pH for the enzymatic reaction was 8.5 and the optimum temperature for maximum activity was $45^{\circ}C$. The enzyme has an absolute requirement of divalent metal ions ($Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$) at the alkaline pH. The enzyme, however, was inactivated in the presence of other divalent cations such as $Zn^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$. The helical content of the purified enzyme was estimated by CD spectropolarimetry to be 61%.

  • Collagenase from the internal organs of a mackerel was purified using acetone precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sephadex A-50, gel filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-100, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, and gel filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-75 column. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 14.8 kDa by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. The purification and yield were 39.5-fold and 0.1% when compared to those in the starting-crude extract. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were around pH 7.5 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ of the enzyme for collagen Type I were approximately 1.1 mM and 2,343 U, respectively. The purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, PMSF, TLCK, and the soybean-trypsin inhibitor.

  • 토양에서 분리된 Streptomyces sp으로부터 cholesterol oxidase의 정제 및 효소학적 특성을 조사하였다. 본 효소의 정제는 50~80% 포화의 황산암모늄 침전 및 cholesterol affinity column chromatography를 통하여 28.3%의 수율로 정제 되었다. 정제된 효소는 SDS-PAGE에서 단일한 밴드를 보였으며 분저량은 약 60,000 dalton으로 추정되었으며, HPLC분석 결과 단일의 peak로 검출되었다. 본 효소의 특성을 검토한 결과, 금속 이온으로 Hg와 Cu의 존재시 크게 저해를 받았고, dithiothreitol 과 mercaptoethanol과 같은 저해제에 의해서 상당히 실활되었다. 본 cholesterol oxidase의 Michaelis 상수는 cholesterol을 기질로하여 Lineweaver-Burk plot분석에서 1.38mM로 추산되었다. 정제효소의 아미노산 조정은 약 416개의 잔기로 추정되며 glycine, alanine, threonine의 함량이 높은 반면, methionine, isoleucine의 함량은 극히 낮았다.

  • Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) was purified to homogeneity from Morganella morganii starting with ammonium sulphate fractionation, followed by separation on DEAE-Sephadex A50, and G-100 Sephadex gel filtration. The enzyme was purified 133.3 fold and showed a final specific activity of 60 units/mg protein with a yield of 37%. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the purified enzyme revealed it as a heterotetramer that consists of four subunits with close molecular weights (19.5, 19, 18, and 17.5 kDa). The molecular weight of the native enzyme was calculated to be 78 kDa, as determined by gel filtration, which approximated to that of the four subunits (74 kDa). The enzyme showed a maximum activity at pH 7.8 when incubated at $35^{\circ}C$. A Lineweaver-Burk analysis gave a Km of 5.0 uM and Vmax of 153.8 U/ml. The amino acid composition of the purified enzyme was also determined.
