새우젓 유래 Bacillus sp. S19가 생산하는 혈전용해 요소의 정제 및 특성

Purification and Characterization of a Fibrinolytic Enzyme Produced by Bacillus sp. S19 from Shrimp

A fibrinolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus sp. S19 using DEAE and CM column chromatograhies, and gel filtration with a recovery yield of 13%. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 42 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The pH and temperature optima were 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to $45^{\circ}C$ and over a pH range of 6-9. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was determined as Alsa-Gln-Asp-Ala-Thr-Val-Asn-Ile-Ser-Ala-Glu-Arg-Gln-Val-Ile. The fibrinolytic activity was increased by $Cu^{2+}$ while it was strongly inhibited by metal ions such as $Cd^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ . In addition, the enzyme was inhibited by EDTA, but not by PMSF, suggesting that it is a metallorprotease.
