Popis

General description

The enzyme is found to be stable at pH 8-10, retaining activity of up to 90% for 24 hours. It shows maximum activity at temperatures between 55-60 °C.

Specificity

Subtilisin A is a member of the Serine S8 Endoproteinase family. It has broad specificity with a preference for a large uncharged residue in the P1 position. It hydrolyzes native and denatured proteins, and is active under alkaline conditions.

Application

Non-specific Protease Activity Assay Video

The product has been used with other enzymes for in situ proteolysis to produce crystals suitable for structure determination.[1] It has also been used in the process of isolation of subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria that can be used for functional in vitro studies.[2]

This is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the fermentation of Bacillus licheniformis. It is a serine endoproteinase with a broad specificity towards native and denatured proteins, and is active under alkaline conditions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protease catabolizes proteins by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Proteases are inactivated by serine active-site inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropylfluorophosphate. Protease, Product P5380, is a serine endoproteinase with a broad specificity towards native and denatured proteins, and is active under alkaline conditions. It is active in some organic solvents such as dry octane.

Physical properties

Subtilisin is a non-glycosylated single polypeptide chain without disulfide bonds and has a molecular weight of 27 KDa.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze casein to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole (181 μg) of tyrosine per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent).
