Application

Acylase I from porcine kidney has been used to study the acylase I-catalyzed deacetylation of various S-alkyl-N-acetyl-L-cysteines and their carbon and oxygen analogues . Acylase I may be useful to catalyze N-acetyl amino acids to enantiomerically pure L-amino acids .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acylase I catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetyl-L-cysteine and S-alkyl-N-acetyl-L-cysteines. n-Butylmalonic acid is an inhibitor of acylase I. S-alkyl-N-acetyl-L-cysteines with short (C0-C3) and unbranched S-alkyl substituents have been found to be good acylase I substrates .

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of N-acetyl-L-methionine per hr at pH 7.0 at 25 °C.

Glycation, oxidation, nitration, and crosslinking of proteins are implicated in the pathogenic mechanisms of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Related modified amino acids formed by proteolysis are excreted in urine. We quantified urinary levels of these

PS-5 was deacetylated to NS-5 (deacetylated PS-5) by l-amino acid acylase from porcine kidney and D-amino acid acylase from Streptomyces olivaceus but not by l-amino acid acylase from Aspergillus sp. Using PS-5, N-chloroacetyl-l-phenylalanine and N-chloroacetyl-D-valine as substrates, acylase producers were

L-Amino acid acylase and D-amino acid acylase were stable below 50 degrees C, although the D-enzyme was more thermostable than the L-enzyme at higher temperatures. At 30 degrees C they showed the highest reaction velocity in phosphate buffer of pH

Recent advances in proteomic technologies have made high-throughput profiling of low-abundance proteins in large epidemiological cohorts increasingly feasible. We investigated whether aptamer-based proteomic profiling could identify biomarkers associated with future development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) beyond known risk factors.

The aminoacylase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) was identified as acylase I after purification by column chromatography and electrophoretic analysis. Rat kidney cytosol was fractionated by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and the proteins were separated by ion-exchange column chromatography
