민자주방망이버섯으로부터 분리한 혈전용해효소의 비활성은 22.78 U/mg 이었으며, fibrin를 직접 용해하는 fibrinolytic enzyme 이었다. 15번째까지 N-terminal amino acid 서열 분석 결과, Tyr-Pro-Ser-Pro-Ser-His-Gln-Thr-Ala-Val-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ile-X로 지금까지 발표되지 않은 새로운 효소였다. 분자량은 34 KDa 이고 pH 7.0 부터 pH 9.5의 넓은 영역에서 높은 활성을 나타내는 alkaline protease 였으며, $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 큰 활성을 보이는 이 효소는 serine protease 저해제인 phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride를 첨가한 경우 효소의 활성이 전혀 나타나지 않는 것으로 미루어 높은 혈전용해 활성을 갖는 새로운 serine protease로 생각된다. 또한 $Hg^{2+}$의 금속이온을 첨가한 경우에도 효소의 활성은 완전히 사라졌다.

A strain BL-29, which produces a extracellular lytic enzyme on E. coli was isolated from the soil. The strain was identified as belonging to the genus Bacillus sp. The lytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Specific activity of the purified enzyme was 28, 850 U/mg protein and yield of the enzyme was 5$%$. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE and its molecular weight was estimated to be 31, 000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration column chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH were $55^{\circ}C$ and pH 10.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable at $45^{\circ}C$ but enzyme activity was reduced by up to 50$%$ when the temperature was raised to $55^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Stable range of pH was from 5.0 to 11.0. but Enzyme activity was inhibited by lead-acetate, mercuric chloride, ethylene glycol-bis-[$\beta$-aminoethyl ether]-N, N, $N^1, $N^1$-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), but not affected considerably by treatment with other chemical reagents.

Membrane-bound alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) was purified to homogeneity from the acetic acid producing bacteria, Acetobacter sp. KM. The enzyme was solubilized and extracted with Triton X-100 and purified using the Mono-Q ion exchange chromatography and Superose 12 gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme was purified to 12-fold with a yield of 30%. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was to be 335 KDa. SDS-PAGE of the enzyme showed two subunits with molecular weights of 79 KDa and 49 KDa. It indicated that the enzyme consisted of three subunits of the 79 KDa and two subunits of the 49 KDa. The purified .ADH preferentially oxidized straight chain aliphatic alcohol except methanol. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and glutaraldehyde were also oxidized. The apparent Km for ethanol was 1.04 mM and the optimum pH and temperature were 5.0∼6.0 and 32$^{\circ}C$, respectively. V2O5 and divalent cation such as ZnCl2 and NiCl2 inhibited enzymatic activity.

1,4-Benzoquinone reductase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from bovine liver, and the purified enzyme found to have a molecular mass of 29 kDa, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis The enzyme exhibited pH optimum between 8.0 and 8.5. The apparent fm for 1,4-benzoqulnone was 1.643 mM, and the apparent Km for NADH was 1.837 mM. Various divalent cations, such as Hg$\^$2+/, Cu$\^$2+/, and Zn$\^$2+/, exhibited strong inhibitory effects. The enzyme activity was also strongly inhibited by quercetin, dicumarol, and benzoic acid. Incubation of the enzyme with N-bromosuccinimide and pyridoxal 5’-phosphate led to inhibitions of 100% and 99%, respectively. Accordingly, these results suggest that trypto-phan and Iysine residues are Involved at or near the active sites of the enzyme.

Properties of a protease purified from Neungee[Sarcodon aspratus(Berk, ) S. Ito] have been investigated. The enzyme displays a glycosylated serine protease. The enzyme is able to hydrolyze alanine glycine methionine glutamine and cysteine of N-CBZ and N-t-BOC-L-amino acid derivatibes relatively strongly but splits valine proline and isoleucine derivatives with low affinity which means the enzyme has the broad substrate spectrum toward the amino acids. Interestingly the enzyme was inhibited by bromelain inhibitor. That is the active site environ-ment of the enzyme is believed to be similar to that of bromelain However peptide mapping studies show that the two enzymes have distinct different cleavage sites.

A 29kDa cysteine protease of Taenia solium metacestodes was purified by Mono Q anion-exchanger and Superose 6 HR gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme was effectively inhibited by cysteine protease inhibitors, such as iodoacetic acid (IAA) and trans-epoxy-succinyl-L-leucyl-amido (4-guanidino) butane (E-64) while inhibitors acting on serine- or metallo-proteases did not affect the enzyme activity. The purified enzyme degraded human immunoglobulin G (IgG), collagen and bovine serum albumin (BSA), but human IgG was more susceptible for proteolysis by the enzyme. To define the precise biological roles of the enzyme, more detailed biochemical and functional studies would be required.

Cloned staphylococcal peptidoglycan hydrolase was used in determining the physiological characteristics of peptidoglycan hydrolase. This enzyme hydrolyzed the bacterial cell walls and released the N-terminal alanine, but not the reducing groups. This cloned gene product was localized in the cytoplasm of transformed Escherichia coli. Activity gels indicated the enzyme had an Mr of about 54,000, which was consistent with the deduced Mr from sequencing of the cloned gene. The activity bound to CM-cellulose but not DEAE-cellulose resin, indicating it as a basic protein. Enhanced enzyme activity in a low concentration of cations, and inhibited enzyme activity in a solution with dissolved phospholipids, suggested that the activity and the availability of this basic protein may be regulated between negatively charged and positively charged cellular molecules. The activity against boiled crude cell wall was much greater than against purifed cell wall, suggesting protein associated with crude cell wall may aid in the binding of the peptidoglycan hydrolase The cloned peptidoglycan hydrolase showed positive activity on whole cells of some lysostaphin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci. The cloned enzyme may be an alternative for lysostaphin for lysis of staphylococci.

Dextranase produced by Flavobacterium multivorum HL-1 isolated from soil were characterized. Optimum growth condition for the production of the enzyme by the strain appeared to be at the 1.0% concentration of dextran. When NH$_{4}$N0$_{3}$ and beef extract was added to the culture media, the enzyme activity increased upto 570 and 680 units per ml respectively, and other nitrogen sources did not increase the activity. Urea, casamino acid, (NH$_{4}$)$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ and KNO$_{3}$ inhibited the activity. In the presence of Mg^{2+} in culture media, the enzyme activity increased 124%, but its activity was inhibited in the presences of Ca$^{2+}$, Co2$^{2+}$, Hg^{2+} and Zn$^{2+}$ . The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was 45-55$\CIRC$C . In the ranges of pH 4 to 10, the activity of the enzyme appeared approximately similar.

Extracellular laccase (E.C. 1.10.3.2) from the culture filtrate of Pleurotus ostreatus was purified by ammonium sulfate precipctation, protamine sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel permeation chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 58,000 and the isoelectric point was 3.75. The optimum temperature for the enzyme was about $45^{\circ}C$ and the optimum pH was 6.5. The enzyme was found to be stable at temperature below $35^{\circ}C$ and rapidly inactivated at higher temperatures. Km values for ferulic acid, vanillic acid, dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) were 48.6.$\mu$M, 0.52mM, and 2.73mM, respectively, which indicates that the enzyme has much higher affinity towards ferulic acid. The reaction products of the enzyme were separated by TLC and HPLC.

A thermophilic bacteria showing proteolytic activity against defatted soybean was isolated from soil. It was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NS 15-4 was cultivated at 50$\circ$C by rotary shaking in a medium containing defatted soybean. An extracellular protease from this strain was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be approximately 30,000 by SDS-PAGE and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was turned out to be AQSVPYGISQIKAPA. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme reaction were 60$\circ$C and 11, respectively, and its thermostability was increased by the addition of calcium ion. The enzyme was inactivated by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, suggesting it be a serine protease. Comparing with other commercial proteases, the enzyme showed relatively high proteolytic activity against defatted soybean, a water-insoluble protein substrate.
