Abstract:
Comparison of cell-wall-bound extracellular proteinases (CEPs) from Lactobacillus paracasei (LBP) ssp. paracasei natural isolates BGHN14, BGAR75 and BGAR76 with Lactococcus lactis (LCL) ssp. cremoris Wg2, in their action on alpha(S1)-, beta- and kappa-casein was done. The CEPs of LBP strains were able to degrade alpha(S1)- and beta-caseins and their caseinolytic specificity depended on the type of buffer used. These CEPs, compared with LCL Wg2, differ in four amino acid residues in small segments predicted to be involved in substrate binding. The most striking features of this comparison are the presence of Ala instead of Ser(329) and the presence of Thr instead of Asn(256) and Ala(299), in the subtilisin-like region of the CEP in LBP natural isolates. Additional conservative amino acid substitution Leu to Ile(364) was found.

Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
