Enzymatic properties of dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase from Bacillus pumilus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enzymatic properties of dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (DCP) from Bacillus pumilus were investigated. The enzyme was more active on tri- and tetrapeptides than angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) from rabbit lung. The presence of chloride ion is essential for the hydrolysis. The Km value of angiotensin I for the enzyme was 0.119 x 10(-3) M. The enzyme was not inhibited by the mammalian ACE inhibitors lisinopril and enalaprilat. The enzyme is readily inhibited by EDTA but restored by Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+. Therefore, it seems to be a zinc-metallo protease.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Lipase from an Indigenous Bacillus pumilus
Cloning and sequencing of a lipase gene from an indigenous Bacillus pumilus, strain F3, revealed an open-reading frame of 648 nucleotides predicted to encode a protein of 215 residues. Sequence analysis showed that F3 lipase contained a signal peptide composed of 34 amino acids with an H domain of 18 residues. A tat-like motif was found in the signal peptide similar to some other Bacillus pumil...
متن کاملSome properties of the PBP1 transduction system in Bacillus pumilus.
Bacteriophage PBP1 is a flagella-specific virus that performs generalized transduction in strains of Bacillus pumilus. PBP1 is morphologically and serologically distinct from two other flagella-specific phages, PBS1 and SP-15, which perform generalized transduction in certain Bacillus species. The DNA extracted from PBP1 particles has a buoyant density of 1.690 g/cm(3) in cesium chloride gradie...

The sapB gene, encoding Bacillus pumilus CBS protease, and seven mutated genes (sapB-L31I, sapB-T33S, sapB-N99Y, sapB-L31I/T33S, sapB-L31I/N99Y, sapB-T33S/N99Y, and sapB-L31I/T33S/N99Y) were overexpressed in protease-deficient Bacillus subtilis DB430 and purified to homogeneity. SAPB-N99Y and rSAPB displayed the highest levels of keratinolytic activity, hydrolysis efficiency, and enzymatic depi...
متن کاملEnhancement of Soluble Expression and Biochemical Characterization of Two Epoxide Hydrolases from Bacillus
Background: Enantiopure epoxides are important intermediates in the synthesis of high-value chiral chemicals. Epoxide hydrolases have been exploited in biocatalysis for kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides to produce enantiopure epoxides and vicinal diols. It is necessary to obtain sufficient stable epoxide hydrolases with high enantioselectivity to meet the requirements of i...
متن کاملToxin production by Bacillus pumilus.
Two strains of Bacillus pumilus (M11 and M38) and one strain each of Bacillus cereus (M27), Bacillus subtilis (M67), and Enterobacter agglomerans (M14) were identified from the air of Lancashire cotton mills. These strains were tested for cytopathic effects in Vero cells; B pumilus and B cereus strains were also examined for haemolytic activity, lecithinase production, and proteolytic action on...
