  • Title: Alkaline serine proteinases D and E of Streptomyces griseus K-1.
    Author: Narahashi Y, Yoda K.
    Journal: J Biochem; 1977 Mar; 81(3):587-97. PubMed ID: 16870.
    Abstract:
    Two DFP-sensitive alkaline proteinases with strong esterase activity toward Ac-(Ala)3-OMe, designated as alkaline serine proteinases D and E, were purified pronase, a protease mixture from St. griseus K-1. Each was shown to be homogeneous by acrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of these enzymes were estimated to be about 27,000 be gel filtration. Studies on their actions on acyl-tl-amino acid methyl or ethyl esters indicated that proteinases D and E both exhibited a broad substrate specificity and hydrolyzed the ester bonds of esters containing Trp, Tyr, Phe, Leu, and Ala. The esterase activities of both enzymes toward Ac-(Ala)3-OMe were the highest among proteinases so far isolated from various sources. Proteinases D and E also lacked cystine residues in their molecules, being entirely different from alkaline serine proteinases A, B, and C in pronase. Some differences were , however, observed between them as regards pH stability, behavior on CM-cellulose, mobility on polyacrylamide electrophoresis, and amidase activity toward Suc-(Ala)3-pNA.
