General description

Acylase I belongs to the aminoacylase family of enzymes.

Application

Acylase I from Aspergillus melleus has been used to catalyze the Mannich reaction.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acylase I plays an important role in the amino acid metabolism of organisms. It also plays a role in the acylation of primary and secondary alcohols. Acylase I is involved in alcoholysis.

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol N-acetyl-L-methionine per minute at pH 8.0 and 37°C

Analysis Note

Enzyme activity: the optimum temperature is 40-45°C, the optimum pH is 8.0 (stable form pH 6-10). The enzyme is activated by CoCl2 in the range of 10-4 to 10-3 M.

Bacteria are frequently exposed to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) from eukaryotic hosts (host defence peptides) or from prokaryotic competitors (bacteriocins). However, many bacteria, among them most of the major human pathogens, achieve CAMP resistance by MprF, a unique enzyme that
