  • Title: The extracellular metalloprotease of Serratia marcescens: I. Purification and characterization.
    Author: Aiyappa PS, Harris JO.
    Journal: Mol Cell Biochem; 1976 Nov 30; 13(2):95-100. PubMed ID: 12465.
    Abstract:
    An extracellular protease of Serratia marcescens produced during growth on skim milk medium was isolated by ethanol precipitation. The protease was purified by salt fractionation, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography on Agarose P-100. It has a broad optimum from pH 6.0 to 9.0 and a temperature optimum of 45 degrees C for proteolytic activity on casein. It was classified as a metallo-protease by virtue of its inactivation by metal-ion chelators and reactivation by ferrous ions. Proteolytic activity was not affected by diiso-propylfluorophosphate, p-chloromercuribenzoate and dithiothreitol.
