Boar acrosin. I. Purification and preliminary characterization of a proteinase from boar sperm acrosomes.
Acrosin is a proteolytic enzyme used by sperm to digest a path through the zona pellucida of the ovum. In ejaculated sperm it is inactivated by a proteinase inhibitor from seminal plasma that also inhibits trypsin. This inhibitor is removed or inactivated during the residence in the female reproductive tract as a part of the capacitation process. The boar acrosin-inhibitor complex was partially...
متن کاملWinding of the DNA helix by divalent metal ions.
When supercoiled pBR322 DNA was relaxed at 0 or 22 degrees C by topoisomerase I in the presence of the divalent cations Ca2+, Mn2+ or Co2+, the resulting distributions of topoisomers observed at 22 degrees C had positive supercoils, up to an average delta Lk value of +8.6 (for Ca2+at 0 degrees C), corresponding to an overwinding of the helix by 0.7 degrees/bp. An increase of the divalent cation...

15 صفحه اولBoar acrosin. II. Classification, inhibition, and specificity studies of a proteinase from sperm acrosomes.
Acrosin, a proteolytic enzyme located in the acrosome of sperm, exhibits amidase, esterase, and proteinase activity on synthetic and natural substrates containing arginyl and lysyl residues. Highly purified acrosin preparations from boar acrosomes have endopeptidase activity cleaving only the carboxyl bonds of arginine and lysine with a strong preference for arginine bonds. The Michaelis consta...
متن کاملInteraction of anions and divalent metal ions with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase.
The catalytic activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in rat liver cytosol is stimulated by incubating with Fe2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Cd2+. When purified, the enzyme no longer responds to Fe2+, Co2+, or Cd2+ but retains a response to Mn2+. Low concentrations of SO4(2-) in the incubation medium with enzyme and divalent transition metal allow stimulation by Fe2+ and Co2+ and enhance the respons...
