action of serine carboxypeptidases on endopeptidase substrates, peptide-4-methyl-coumaryl-7-amides.carboxypeptidase y hydrolyzed n-substituted peptide-4-methylcoumarin-7-amides (peptide-nh-mec) at ph 7 by releasing 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (nh2-mec) which was then followed by carboxypeptidase action. in particular, a chymotrypsin-directed substrate, suc-leu-leu-val-tyr-nh-mec, was hydrolyzed by the enzyme with a second-order rate constant of 7200 m-1 s-1, which is compatible with the rate for an anilide substrate and some n-substituted dipeptides. the activity was completely inhibited by phen ...19853905405
autoradiographic method to screen for soil microorganisms which accumulate zinc.an autoradiographic method was developed to screen for and isolate soil microorganisms which accumulate zinc (zn). diluted soil samples (rubicon fine sand, entic haplorthods [ph 5.9]) were plated on soil extract-glucose agar containing radioactive 65zn. after 7 days of incubation, individual colonies which accumulated sufficient 65zn could be detected by autoradiography. these colonies were isolated and confirmed as zn accumulators in pure culture by using the autoradiographic plate technique. m ...19853883897
the nadph binding site on beef liver catalase.beef liver and human erythrocyte catalases (ec 1.11.1.6) bind nadp tenaciously [kirkman, h. n. & gaetani, g. f. (1984) proc. natl. acad. sci. usa 81, 4343-4348]. the position of nadp on beef liver catalase corresponds to the carboxyl-terminal polypeptide hinge in penicillium vitale fungal catalase, which connects the common catalase structure to the additional flavodoxin-like domain. in contrast to nearly all other known structures of protein-bound nadp, nad, and fad, the nadp molecule of beef l ...19853856839

amino acid sequence of endothiapepsin. complete primary structure of the aspartic protease from endothia parasitica.the amino acid sequence of endothiapepsin, the aspartic protease from endothia parasitica has been determined. the enzyme consists of 330 residues. the sequence determination was performed exclusively at the protein level. the homology of this fungal milk-clotting enzyme with aspartic proteases is demonstrated by alignment with pepsin, chymosin, gastricsin, renin, and cathepsin d from various vertebrates and proteinase a from saccharomyces cerevisiae showing 25-30% identity. the identity with mu ...19873305016
carboxypeptidase s-1 from penicillium janthinellum: enzymatic properties in hydrolysis and aminolysis reactions.carboxypeptidase s-1 from penicillium janthinellum has been isolated by affinity chromatography and characterized. the enzyme activity is unusually stable in organic solvents, e.g. 80% methanol. the hydrolysis of peptide substrates is apparently dependent on three ionizable groups. one group, with pka of 4.0-4.5, is a catalytically essential residue in its deprotonated form, and another group with a pka of 6.5-7.0 functions in its protonated form, apparently as the binding site for the c-termina ...19883256309
comparative spectral analysis of mammalian, fungal, and bacterial catalases. resonance raman evidence for iron-tyrosinate coordination.resonance raman spectra are reported for catalases from bovine liver, the ascomycete fungus aspergillus niger, and the bacterium micrococcus luteus. the vibrational frequencies of the oxidation-, spin-, and coordination number-sensitive spectral bands are indicative of high spin pentacoordinate hemes in the resting ferric enzymes of each of these organisms. this result is in accord with the crystal structure of bovine catalase (fita, i., and rossmann, m.g. (1985) j. mol. biol. 185, 21-37). in co ...19892753885

[immobilization of penicillium vitale glucose-oxidase on aminosilochrome and properties of immobilized enzyme].penicillium vitale glucose-oxidase modified by means of the carbohydrate component oxidation is added covalently to aminoorganosylochrome. the activity of the immobilized preparations is 20-38% depending on the protein-carrier ration in immobilization. comparison of some properties of native and immobilized glucose-oxidase showed that the rh optimum of the immobilized glucose-oxidase is slightly widened towards the alkaline regions; the immobilized glucose-oxidase possesses a considerably higher ...201538549

kinetics and stability of glucooxidase from penicillium vitale.the kinetics, thermal stability and ultrasonic resistance of glucosoxidase from penicillium vitale have been investigated. its oxidative constant is close to, catalytic constant is 1.7 times less and the reductive constant is 5.4 times more than the respective constants of the enzyme from aspergillus niger. the relationship between the thermal inactivation constant (k(i)=2.1 pt 15.3. the same relationship is true of the ultrasonic inactivation constant and ph in the ph range of 6.5-8.0. in a mor ...197827781
[dissociation of penicillium vitale catalase under the effect of urea and acid ph].conditions are studied for penicillium vitale catalase dissociation into subunits under the effect of urea (0.7-8.5 m) and acid ph (5.0-2.0). in 8.0 m urea (ph 5.0) a molecule of the p. vitale catalase dissociates with formation of the components, the sedimentation coefficient of which is 2.4+/-0.2s, the molecular weight is 153000+/-2800. dissociation at ph 2.2 in 4.0 m urea results in formation of components with the sedimentation coefficient 2.2+/-0.3 s. the catalase molecule dissociation unde ...201318833

[comparative characteristics of catalase from the fungus penicillium vitale, which is synthesized under different nutritional conditions].a comparative study of properties (absorption spectra, thermostability, ph optimum, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, deae-cellulose separation) and structure (amino acid composition, finger-prints, carbohydrate composition) was performed for p. vitale catalase synthesized under different medium conditions. in all cases the results were similar. the only difference occured in the amount of synthesized proteins. a conclusion is drawn that under different nourishing conditions of the fungus the ...20063004
