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.

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

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

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

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
