Opis

General description

Pyroglutamate Aminopeptidase from Pyrococcus furiosus, also called the deblocking aminopeptidase, is a 42 kDa protein and belongs to aminopeptidase A family. It shares sequence homology with aminopeptidase in the active site, with conserved zinc and cobalt binding residues.

Application

Thermostable aminopeptidase that liberates N-terminal pyroglutamic acid from proteins and peptides prior to Edman degradation.

The enzyme from Sigma has been used for the removal of pyroglutamate (pGlu) N-terminal blocking group, under reduced conditions, prior to N-terminal sequencing of purified cassiicolin.[1]

Pyroglutamate Aminopeptidase, from Pyrococcus furiosus is a recombinant, thermostable aminopeptidase that is expressed in Escherichia coli. It is used to cleave pyroglutamic acid which allows analysis of N-terminal sequences of peptides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

This enzyme is specific for N-terminal pyroglutamic acids. It cleaves the N-terminal pyroglutamic acid from proteins and peptides prior to Edman degradation. The optimal temperature range is 95 to 100 °C and the optimal pH range is 6.0 to 9.0.

Pyroglutamate Aminopeptidase (PGP 1) interacts with immunoglobulin, functions as inflammatory cytokine and modulates immune response. The levels PGP 1 is elevated during inflammation.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing sodium phosphate

Preparation Note

Reconstitute the vial of enzyme with 50 μl of 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, with 10 mM DTT and 1 mM EDTA. The reconstituted solution should be stored at -20 °C.

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1 μmol of pyroglutamate p-nitroanilide per minute at pH 7.0 at 37 °C.
