A continuous fluorimetric assay for clostridial collagenase and Pz-peptidase activity.
The peptide derivative N alpha-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-prolyl-L-leucyl-glycyl-L-prolyl-L-tryptophanyl-D- lysine (Dnp-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-Trp-D-Lys) has been found to be a convenient substrate for the assay of clostridial collagenase and Pz-peptidase. The substrate shows a 25-fold enhancement of fluorescence (gamma ex. 283 nm, lambda em. 350 nm) following hydrolysis of the Leu2-Gly3 peptide bond. The ...
متن کاملFluorimetric coupled enzyme assay for lysoplasmalogenase activity in liver.
We developed a continuous spectrofluorimetric assay of lysoplasmalogenase activity with the use of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase as a coupling enzyme. In this method the disappearance of NADH is measured spectrofluorimetrically. The excitation and emission monochromators were set at 340 and 460 nm respectively. The assay is 10 times as sensitive as the previous u.v. spectrophotometric metho...
متن کاملChicken liver Pz-peptidase, a thiol-dependent metallo-endopeptidase.
Pz-peptidase was purified from chicken liver as a protein of Mr 80,000 and pI 5.2. The purified enzyme hydrolysed phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-D-Arg, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-Trp-D-Lys. 7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-D-(2,4-dinitropheny l)Lys, benzoyl-Gly-Ala-Ala-Phe-p-aminobenzoate, Ac-Ala4 (at the Ala-1-Ala-2 bond) and bradykinin (at the Phe-5-Ser-6 bond...
متن کاملCrystallographic and biochemical investigations of kumamolisin-As, a serine-carboxyl peptidase with collagenase activity.
Kumamolisin-As (previously called ScpA) is the first known example of a collagenase from the sedolisin family (MEROPS S53). This enzyme is active at low pH and in elevated temperatures. In this study that used x-ray crystallographic and biochemical methods, we investigated the structural basis of the preference of this enzyme for collagen and the importance of a glutamate residue in the unique ...
متن کاملThe lanthanide-enhanced affinity chromatography of clostridial collagenase.
Clostridiopeptidase A (EC 3.4.24.3) did not bind to a collagen affinity column in the absence of Ca2+, but did so in the presence of lanthanide ions (Ln3+). The sequestered enzyme could be eluted with EGTA. For the four Ln3+ ions tested, the order of efficiency in promoting enzyme binding, Sm3+ greater than Lu3+ greater than Er3+ much greater than La3+, reflected their relative abilities to inh...
