Electrophoretic characteristics of staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase.

چکیده
Partially purified staphylococcal hyaluronidase was studied with respect to its electrophoretic properties by the use of starch slurry or semisolid Noble agar as a matrix. The polarity of enzyme activity was found to be cathodal on starch and anodal on agar gel. The electrophoretic migration of the partially purified enzyme on starch, as a function of pH, suggested that the enzyme has an isoelectric point of pH 9.5 to 10.

Cloning, nucleotide sequence determination and expression of the Staphylococcus aureus hyaluronate lyase gene.
The Staphylococcus aureus 8325-4 hyaluronate lyase gene (hysA) was identified after detecting hyaluronate lyase activity expressed by phages from a genomic library. The hysA open reading frame, capable of encoding a protein of 91 980 Da, was identified by Tn5 mutagenesis and nucleotide sequencing. HysA shares 35 and 36% amino acid sequence identity with group B streptococcal hyaluronate lyase a...

Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase (hyaluronidase) derived from a pathogenic strain of staphylococcus was purified by means of salt fractionation with ammonium sulfate and gel filtration through Sephadex G-100. Most of the enzyme activity from concentrated culture supernatant fluids of staphylococci was obtained in a fraction precipitated by 90 to 100% saturation with ammonium sulfate. A small am...

Hyaluronic acid was treated exhaustively with a hyaluronate lyase (hyaluronidase, EC 4.2.2.1) from Streptomyces hyalurolyticus to obtain a tetrasaccharide and a hexasaccharide product in a molar ratio of 1 to 1.2. The tetrasaccharide product was fluorescently labeled at the reducing end by reductive amination with 7-amino 1,3-naphthalene disulfonic acid (AGA) and the structure of the conjugate ...
متن کاملHigh performance liquid chromatographic assay of disaccharides and oligosaccharides produced by the digestion of glycosaminoglycans with chondroitin sulphate lyases.
In high performance liquid chromatographic procedures hitherto described, SiO2, NH2 and RP columns have been used for the analysis of disaccharides produced by the digestion of glycosaminoglycans with the chondroitin sulphate lyases AC and ABC. The use of a potent anion exchanger offers the following advantages over these columns: superior separation characteristics for non-sulphated disacchari...
متن کاملThe Skin Bacterium Propionibacterium acnes Employs Two Variants of Hyaluronate Lyase with Distinct Properties
Hyaluronic acid (HA) and other glycosaminoglycans are extracellular matrix components in the human epidermis and dermis. One of the most prevalent skin microorganisms, Propionibacterium acnes, possesses HA-degrading activity, possibly conferred by the enzyme hyaluronate lyase (HYL). In this study, we identified the HYL of P. acnes and investigated the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. I...
