Beschreibung

General description

Proteinase K (PK) from fungi, Tritirachium album encodes a 40 kDa protein. The N-terminal propeptide region shows homology with bacterial subtilisin. PK crystallizes even under microgravity conditions on the space shuttle mission. PK is an effective protein system for studying protein engineering process.

Application

Nützlich zur proteolytischen Inaktivierung von Nukleasen bei der Isolierung von DNA und RNA.
Entfernt Endotoxine, die an kationische Proteine wie Lysozym und Ribonuklease A binden.
Berichten zufolge nützlich für die Isolierung von Leber-, Hefe- und Mungbohnen-Mitochondrien
Bestimmung der Enzymlokalisierung auf Membranen
Behandlung von Paraffinschnitten zur Freilegung von Antigenbindungsstellen zur Antikörpermarkierung.
Verdauung von Proteinen aus Hirngewebeproben für Prionen in der TSE-Forschung.

Proteolytische Deaktivierung von Nucleasen während der Isolation von DNA und RNA

Protease footprinting by Proteinase K digestion can reveal protein-protein surface interactions. The enzyme from Sigma has been used in the pre-hybridization step of chicken embryos. It has also been used for the enrichment of PrPSc, a prion protein that is present in sheep, hamster and mouse scrapie samples.

Proteinase K is useful for the proteolytic inactivation of nucleases during the isolation of DNA and RNA.
It is used for the removal of endotoxins bound to cationic proteins such as lysozyme and ribonuclease A.
It is useful for the isolation of hepatic, yeast, and mung bean mitochondria and is used to determine enzyme localization on membranes
It is used for the treatment of paraffin embedded tissue sections to expose antigen binding sites for antibody labeling and for digestion of proteins from brain tissue samples for prions in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) research. Product SAE0009 is provided as a lyophilized powder. Product SAE0009 has been used to break down human lens protein¹.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Proteinase K ist eine stabile und hochreaktive Serinprotease. Ergebnisse von Kristall- und Molekularstrukturstudien lassen darauf schließen, dass das Enzym zur Subtilisin-Familie mit einer katalytischen Triade (Asp³⁹-His⁶⁹-Ser²²⁴) im aktiven Zentrum gehört. Es ist in einer Reihe von Umgebungen stabil: pH, Puffersalze, Detergenzien (SDS) und Temperatur. In Gegenwart von 0,1–0,5 % SDS bleibt Proteinase K aktiv und verdaut zahlreiche Proteine und Nukleasen in DNA-Präparationen, ohne die Integrität der isolierten DNA zu beeinträchtigen.

Proteinase K has a broad specificity and degrades many proteins even in the native state. It mainly cleaves the peptide bond adjacent to the carboxyl group of aliphatic and aromatic amino acids with blocked a-amino groups.The optimum pH is between 7.5-9.0 and the isoelectric point is 8.9 Ca²⁺ (1-5 mM) is required for activation. Proteinase K is inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFIP), and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF).

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze urea-denatured hemoglobin to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole of tyrosine per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent).
