Polymorphism of the cobalt-activated acylase in human tissues
Abstract:
A method was elaborated for obtaining polyacrylamide gel zymograms of the cobalt-activated acylase after electrophoresis. Two fractions of the acylase showing activity towards N-chloroacetyl-gamma-L-glutamyl-beta-naphthylamide were found in human kidney, liver and intestine. The two fractions isolated from liver differ in substrate specificity, heat resistance, response to metal ions, inhibition by deaminated dipeptides, and in molecular weight. They differ also from other N-acylamino acid amidohydrolases: aminoacylase (EC 3.5.1.14) and aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15).

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
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,...
