1. Extracellular yeast-lytic enzyme of the bacterium Lysobacter sp. XL 1
O A Stepnaya, I M Tsfasman, I A Chaika, T A Muranova, I S Kulaev Biochemistry (Mosc). 2008 Mar;73(3):310-4. doi: 10.1134/s0006297908030115.
An enzyme exhibiting yeast-lytic activity has been isolated from the culture liquid of the bacterium Lysobacter sp. XL 1. The optimal conditions for the hydrolysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by the enzyme have been established: 0.15 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.0, 50 degrees C. The yeast-lytic activity of the enzyme is inhibited by EDTA, p-chloromercuribenzoate, and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. According to the data of SDS-PAGE, the molecular weight of the protein is 36 kD. The enzyme hydrolyzes casein, hemoglobin, and synthetic peptide Abz-Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA, i.e. it exhibits proteolytic activity. The properties of the enzyme and its molecular weight correspond to those of a previously isolated extracellular metalloproteinase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein exhibits 67% homology with the N-terminal sequence of achromolysine of Achromobacter lyticus (EC 3.4.24.-).
2. Cloning, Purification, and Characterization of Tripeptidyl Peptidase from Streptomyces herbaricolor TY-21
Keisuke Ekino, Shinichi Yonei, Hiroshi Oyama, Takuji Oka, Yoshiyuki Nomura, Takashi Shin Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2018 Jan;184(1):239-252. doi: 10.1007/s12010-017-2547-8. Epub 2017 Jul 3.
Tripeptidyl peptidase (TPP) is an exopeptidase that sequentially hydrolyzes tripeptides from the N-terminus of oligopeptides or polypeptides. We performed screening for isolating novel TPP-producing microorganisms from soil samples. TPP activity was observed in the culture supernatant of Streptomyces herbaricolor TY-21 by using Ala-Ala-Phe-p-nitroanilide (pNA) as the substrate. TPP from the culture supernatant was purified to approximately 790-fold. It was shown to cleave oxidized insulin B-chain, thereby with releasing tripeptide units, but not the N-terminal-protected peptide, Cbz-Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA. The TPP gene, designated tpp, was isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of S. herbaricolor TY-21. The TPP gene consisted of 1488 bp, and encoded a 133-amino acid pre-pro-peptide and a 362-amino acid mature enzyme containing conserved amino acid residues (Asp-36, His-77, and Ser-282) similar to the catalytic residues in subtilisin. TY-21 TPP belonged to the peptidase S8A family in the MEROPS database. The mature TY-21 TPP showed approximately 49% identity with tripeptidyl peptidase subtilisin-like (TPP S) from Streptomyces lividans strain 66.
3. Purification and characterization of a novel extracellular tripeptidyl peptidase from Rhizopus oligosporus
Jia-Shin Lin, Shuo-Kang Lee, Yeh Chen, Wei-De Lin, Chao-Hung Kao J Agric Food Chem. 2011 Oct 26;59(20):11330-7. doi: 10.1021/jf201879e. Epub 2011 Sep 28.
A novel extracellular tripeptidyl peptidase (TPP) was homogenously purified from the culture supernatant of Rhizopus oligosporus by sequential fast protein liquid chromatography. The purified enzyme was a 136.5 kDa dimer composed of identical subunits. The effects of inhibitors and metal ions indicated that TPP is a metallo- and serine protease. TPP was activated by divalent cations, such as Co(2+) and Mn(2+), and completely inhibited by Cu(2+). Enzyme activity was optimal at pH 7.0 and 45 °C with a specific activity of 281.9 units/mg for the substrate Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA. The purified enzyme catalyzed cleavage of various synthetic tripeptides but not when proline occupied the P1 position. Purified TPP cleaved the pentapeptide Ala-Ala-Phe-Tyr-Tyr and tripeptide Ala-Ala-Phe, confirming the TPP activity of the enzyme.
