isolation of amylolytic system of aspergillus oryzae by sorption on deahp amylum.	conditions of effective sorption of amylolytic enzyme from a solution or from fermentative liquid on deahp amylum were studied. isolating action is in a direct dependence on the relation between activity and amount of deahp amylum, the curve of this dependence was illustrated. the enzyme can be released by elution or adsorbate can be used in a pulverised from. in the conclusion of the work laboratory isolation technique is described.	1977	15220
extracellular acid protease of aspergillus oryzae grown on liquid media: multiple forms due to association with heterogeneous polysaccharides.	the acid protease (ec 2.4.23.6) that is produced extracellularly when aspergillus oryzae is grown on liquid media has been isolated and characterized. the enzyme was purified by precipitation with tannic acid, chromatography on duolite a-2, and gel filtration on sephadex g-100. the last step yielded four active components, with varying molecular weights ranging from 42,000 to 60,000. two of them, designated e1 and e1a, with molecular weights of 60,000 and 55,000, respectively, were heterogeneous ...	1977	15987
gluconic acid forming enzymes in aspergillus niger (author's transl).	at least three gluconic acid forming enzymes were identified in cell-free extracts of aspergillus niger: glucose oxidase (ec 1.1.3.4), a glucose dehydrogenase (ec 1.1.99.10), and an enzyme or a mixture of enzymes catalyzing the cleavage of 6-phosphogluconate into gluconate and inorganic phosphate. 2,6-dichlorphenolindophenol was one of the hydrogen acceptors in vitro of the glucose dehydrogenase. some properties of this enzyme (km values, ph-dependence, substrate and hydrogen acceptor specificit ...	1977	16416
properties of chymotrypsin proteinase from aspergillus oryzae.	chymotrypsin-type proteinase is detected in the proteolytic system of asp. oryzae. the action of it and chymotrypsin is shown to depend on formaldehyde. hydrolysis of substrates, p-nitrophenyl acetate (p-npa) and n-benzoyl-tyrosine methyl ether (btme), by both preparations is almost the same. the obtained activity ph-optimum for the studied proteinase esterolytic activity is located in the alkaline zone as well as for crystalline chymotrypsin (substrate p-npa). it concerns ph of both enzymes sta ...	1977	18830
rapid induction of alpha-amylase by nongrowing mycelia of aspergillus oryzae.	a rapid induction system for synthesis of alpha-amylase by the funga aspergillus oryzae m-13 was established. the mycelia were prepared from 20-h cultures grown on a peptone-glycerol medium and starved for 5 h; maltose was the optimum inducer tested. during h 1 of induction, formation of both intra- and extracellular alpha-amylases occurred at an almost identical rate (70 to 80 microgram/g of cells-h) without a detectable lag period. after a 1-h induction period, a remarkable increase in the ext ...	1977	18989
preparation and properties of a new dnase from aspergillus oryzae.	a dnase present in commercial preparations of aspergillus oryzae alpha-amylase was purified 1550-fold in 25% yield by acetone precipitation and by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl- and carboxymethylcellulose. the enzyme was isolated free of contaminating rnases and dnases. the molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel filtration on sephadex g-100 was 48 000, while a molecular weight of 58 000 was determined for the single band observed upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium ...	1977	19042
isolation and properties of leucine aminopeptidase from aspergillus oryzae.	homogenious leucine aminopeptidase is purified from "oryzine"--mixture of enzymes produced by surface culture of asperigillus oryzae using treatment with activated characoal, followed by deae-cellulose and hydroxylapatite chromatographies, biogel p-100 gel-filtration and polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. the enzyme has ph optimum 9.0 and the molecular weight 37500 as estimated by gil-filtration through sephadex g-100 (superfine) and sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. leucine aminopeptidas ...	1977	19097
optimal conditions of alpha-amylase production by aspergillus oryzae in liquid media.	the alpha-amylase secretion in a mineral culture medium containing starch and glucose follow the lysis of mycelium. this lysis seems to result from the hydrolysing action of dextranase and levulanase on cell wall. cell lysis and amylase secretion are greatly enhanced by ph elevation of culture medium (optimal ph 8,8). in such conditions of production the amylase is not stable but can be stabilized by addition of starch. a method is described using ph and starch content modifications, which allow ...	1977	23718
characterization of dna used to assay sera for anti-dna antibodies; determination of the specificities of anti-dna antibodies in sle and non-sle rheumatic disease states.	commercial 14c-labeled kb cell dna, widely used to assay sera for anti-dna antibodies, was chromatographed on benzoylated-naphthoylated-deae-cellulose (bndc) and on hydroxyapatite (hap). on bndc, only 25% of the 14c label eluted with 1 m nac1 (kb fraction i) characteristic of ds-dna. fifty-five percent of the label eluted with 50% formamide-1 m nac1 (kb fraction ii) characteristic of ss or denatured dna. on hap, however, none of the 14c label eluted with 0.2 m phosphate buffer as anticipated for ...	1977	300090

degradation of nucleic acids in cell lysates by s1 nuclease in the presence of 9 m urea and sodium dodecylsulfate.	single-strand-specific nuclease s1 from aspergillus oryzae is shown to degrade dna and rna in lysates of hela cells in the presence of 9 m urea and sodium dodecylsulfate. free dodecylsulfate inhibits s1 nuclease. however, if the detergent is complexed with proteins prior to the addition of the enzyme, s1 nuclease can degrade nucleic acids at dodecylsulfate concentrations which would inhibit the enzyme completely if no other proteins were present. in lysates prepared from hela cells by treatment ...	1977	908332
specific hydrolysis of rabbit globin messenger rna by s1 nuclease.	s1 nuclease isolated from aspergillus oryzae has been used to investigate the secondary structure of rabbit globin messenger rna (mrna). the enzyme, which is specific for single stranded nucleotides, digests globin mrna to a limited extent, with 65-75% of the mrna nucleotides resistant to digestion under mild conditions. this limited digestion is not due to enzyme inactivation, but rather to the normal activity of the single-strand nuclease. the reaction was studied as a function of temperature, ...	1977	909777
isolation and amino-terminal sequence analysis of a new pancreatic trypsinogen of the african lungfish protopterus aethiopicus.	the purification and characterization of three pancreatic trypsinogens a1, a2, and a3, from the african lungfish, protopterus aethiopicus, is reported. these zymogens are activated by trypsin, by enterokinase, by an acid protease from aspergillus oryzae, and by autoactivation. the three trypsinogens contain the same amino-terminal amino acid sequence, beginning with the activation peptide leu-pro-leu-glu-asp-asp-lys-. like the activation peptide of the previously characterized trypsinogen b [ree ...	1977	911766
natural plant enzyme inhibitors. v. a trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor from alocasia macrorhiza tuber.	a trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor was isolated from the tubers of alocasia macrorhiza by extraction at ph 7.6, heat treatment at 80 degrees c, ammonium sulphate precipitation and successive column chromatography on cm-cellulose, deae-sephadex a-50 and sephadex g-100. the inhibitor was pure by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. the molecular weight was approximately 32 000 as determined by gel filtration on sephadex g-100. the inhibitor acted on bovine trypsin, human trypsin and bovine chymotrypsi ...	1977	911861
kinetic studies of the phenol sulphate-phenol sulphotransferase of aspergillus oryzae.	arylsulphatase ii of aspergillus oryzae exhibits both hydrolytic and sulphotransferase activities. the kinetic data suggest the formation of an intermediate covalent enzyme-sulphate complex with transfer of sulphate from donor to acceptor proceeding via a ping pong mechanism. the unusual kinetic behaviour when 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl sulphate is the substrate is also consistent with this mechanism.	1977	588253
a rapid direct assay for the determination of the separate activities of the three arylsulphatases of aspergillus oryzae.	1. the three arylsulphatases of aspergillus oryzae exhibit pronounced kinetic differences and substrate specificities. arylsulphatase i hydrolyses all substrates tested, whereas arylsulphatase iii will not hydrolyse tyrosine o-sulphate or phenolphthalein disulphate. arylsulphatase ii does not hydrolyse p-nitrophenyl sulphate or phenolphthalein disulphate at appreciable rates in the absence of added phenolic compounds. phenols such as tyramine increase the rate of hydrolysis of these substances b ...	1977	597235
differential repression of arylsulphatase synthesis in aspergillus oryzae.	1. the activities of the three arylsulphatases (arylsulphate sulphohydrolase, ec 3.1.6.1) of aspergillus oryzae produced under a variety of repressing and non-repressing conditions were determined. 2. these enzymes exhibit different sensitivities to repression by inorganic sulphate. 3. arylsulphatase i, but not arylsulphatases ii and iii, exhibits a transient de-repression in the early growth phase in sulphate media. 4. when the fungus is cultured in repressing media and subsequently transferred ...	1977	597236
