Resumo

Bile salt hydrolase (cholylglycine hydrolase, EC 3.5.1.24)has been purified to homogeneity (792-fold) from Clostridium pcrfrrngens using high performance DEAE-chromatography.The purified enzyme showed a single detectable protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with a relative molecular weight ca.56,000.The intact enzyme had a relative molecular weight (M,) of ca.250,000 as determined by nondenaturing PAGE.The NH2-terminal sequence of bile salt hydrolase was determined to be Met-(Ser/C ys)-Arg-Thr-Lys-Leu-Val-Ileu-Thr-Ileu-Gly-Ala-Ser.The purified enzyme was active towards both glycine and taurine conjugates of cholate.The apparent K , and V , , of the enzyme for glycocholate was estimated to be 0.5 mM and 107 nmol/min mg protein, respectively.The pH optimum was in the range of 5.8 to 6.4.The enzyme was inhibited 85%, 81%, and 83% by 2 mM iodoacetate, p-chloromercuribenzoate, and phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride, respectively.Rabbit polyclonal antibody was prepared and used to demonstrate a single form of the enzyme in crude cell extracts.-Gopal-Srivastava,R., and P.
