文摘

Chymotrypsin from the hepatopancreas of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) was purified to homogeneity, with a 120-fold increase in specific activity and 23 % recovery. The molecular weight of the purified chymotrypsin was estimated to be 28 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulphate¨Cpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH and temperature for the chymotrypsin activity were pH 8.5 and 55 ¡ãC, respectively, using succinyl-l-ala-ala-pro-l-phenylalanine-p-nitroanilide (SAAPFpNA) as a substrate. The enzyme was extremely stable in the pH range of 7.0?0.0 and highly stable up to 50 ¡ãC after 1 h incubation. This proteinase was strongly inhibited by chymostatin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, diisopropylfluorophosphate and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, but was not inhibited by tosyl-l-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone, N-carbobenzoxy-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone or N_¦Á-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone. The enzyme hydrolysed long chymotrypsin peptide substrates SAAPFpNA, SAAPLpNA and ZAALpNA and did not hydrolyse short chymotrypsin substrates. Kinetic parameters of the enzymatic reaction demonstrated that the best substrate was SAAPFpNA, with k_cat 18 s^? and K_m 22 ¦ÌM. However, the enzyme had a lower K_m for SAAPLpNA, 54 ¦ÌM.

The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the first 20 amino acids of the purified chymotrypsin was IVGGQEATIGEYPWQAALQV.
