[Enzymes of a bacteriolytic lysoamidase preparation. Various properties of bacteriolytic protease L2]
Abstract:
Bacteriolytic proteinase L2 is able to cleave fluorogenic synthetic tripeptide anthranoyl-alanyl-alanyl-phenylalanyl-nitroanilide (Abz-Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA) at the bond between phenylalanine and p-nitroaniline. Optimal conditions of the tripeptide cleavage have been determined: pH 6.7 + 0.1; mu = 2 (by NaCl); t = 40 degrees C; KM = 2.6 x 10(-5) M. Metal cations reduced the enzyme activity. The enzyme was inhibited by EDTA, p-CMB, DIF. The synthetic tripeptide can be used to determine the activity of the L2 enzyme.
