Aspartic Proteases from Basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have isolated aspartic proteases by affinity chromatography from wild growing basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis. Pepstatin A sensitive fractions from size exclusion chromatography were subjected to Concanavalin A affinity chromatography. N-terminal sequences of the three bands resolved on SDS-PAGE showed sequence similarity to the A01.018 group of family A1 aspartic proteases of the MEROPS classification. The diversity of putative aspartic proteases found in Clitocybe nebularis basidiocarp extracts is considerable and shows the great potential of basidiomycetes as a source of unique proteases that could find use in biotechnological applications and drug design.

Trypsin-specific inhibitors from the basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis with regulatory and defensive functions.
We have isolated serine protease inhibitors from the basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis, CnSPIs, using trypsin affinity chromatography. Full-length gene and cDNA sequences were determined for one of them, named cnispin, and the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli at high yield. The primary structure and biochemical properties of cnispin are very similar to those of the Lentinus...
متن کاملChemical Constituents of the Fruiting Bodies of Clitocybe nebularis and Their Antifungal Activity
During a continuing search for antimicrobial substances from Korean native wild mushroom extracts, we found that the methanolic extract of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis exhibited mild antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Therefore we evaluated the antifungal substances and other chemical components of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis, which led to the isolation of ne...
متن کاملClitocypin, a new type of cysteine proteinase inhibitor from fruit bodies of mushroom clitocybe nebularis.
A novel inhibitor of cysteine proteinases has been isolated from fruit bodies of a mushroom Clitocybe nebularis. The inhibitor was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography and gel filtration, followed by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The active inhibitor has an apparent molecular mass of about 34 kDa by gel filtration and by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...
متن کاملIn Silico Study to Develop a Lectin-Like Protein from Mushroom Agaricus bisporus for Pharmaceutical Application.
A lectin-like protein of unknown function designated as LSMT was recently discovered in the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus. The protein shares high structural similarity to HA-33 from Clostridium botulinum (HA33) and Ricin-B-like lectin from the mushroom Clitocybe nebularis (CNL), which have been developed as drug carrier and anti-cancer, respectively. These homologous proteins display the a...
متن کاملPurification, characterization and cloning of a ricin B-like lectin from mushroom Clitocybe nebularis with antiproliferative activity against human leukemic T cells.
BACKGROUND Lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate-binding proteins exhibiting numerous biological activities and functions. METHODS Two-step serial carbohydrate affinity chromatography was used to isolate a lectin from the edible mushroom clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis). It was characterized biochemically, its gene and cDNA cloned and the deduced amino acid sequence analyzed. Its ac...
