Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase is a calcium‐activated zinc metalloprotein

Abstract: A heat-stable aminopeptidase with an N-terminal Ala-Pro-Asp-Ile-Pro-Leu sequence has been purified from Streptomyces griseus by heat treatment followed by gel-exclusion and anion-exchange chromatographic procedures. The enzyme is a monomeric zinc metalloenzyme showing an apparent molecular mass of 33 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 21 kDa by gel filtration on Superose 12.Calcium ions bind to the enzyme, pK,, 4.5, and activate it about sixfold when the substrate is leucine-4… Show more

“…To examine whether the aminopeptidase is thermostable, the concentrated culture filtrates from strains FRD2, FRD740, and FRD2128 (wild type, ⌬lasB and ⌬lasA, respectively) were each incubated at 70°C for 1-3 h, conditions that have been used in the past to demonstrate the heat stability of enzymes such as SgAP and VpAP (25,26). Heating for up to 3 h had virtually no effect on the aminopeptidase activity, indicating that PaAP is resistant to heat.…”

“…VpAP and SgAP are also distinguished by their heat (70°C) stability (25)(26)(27). The substrate specificity of VpAP and SgAP is similar, both cleaving preferentially hydrophobic amino acids especially leucine occupying the N-terminal position of proteins or peptides (25,28,29).…”

“…Reactions were carried out at 30°C in 50 mM Tris-HCl/ 100 mM NaC1/1 mM CAC12/0.25 mM Hepes/0.005% Triton X-100, pH 7.5, containing 6.7 ,ug/ml Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase I [19] when Leu is the C-terminal amino acid of the substrates (compounds 2, 4, 6, 8) or 26.8 pg/ml of the same aminopeptidase when Phe is the C-terminal amino acid (compounds 1, 3, 5, 7). Reactions were performed in 200 pl volumes in 96-well polystyrene microplates (Greiner, Frickenhausen, Germany), using a thermoregulated Thermomax Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices Corp., Menlo Park, CA).…”

“…Two aminopeptidases (API and APII) purified from S. griseus were originally shown to require Ca2+ for their enzymic activity (Vosbeck et al, 1973). More recently, however, these LAPs were proved to be Zn2+-containing enzymes that are activated by calcium (Spungin & Blumberg, 1989). Our data suggest that the M, 34000 LAP from S. lividans is a zinc metalloproteinase which is stabilized, but not necessarily activated, by calcium.…”

“…The large difference in calculated M , from SDS-PAGE and Superose-6 may result from an incomplete protein denaturation or binding of SDS, or an atypical retardation of the enzyme on the gel-filtration support column (Superose-6). Interestingly, the two aminopeptidases from S. griseus displayed nearly identical anomalous elution profiles from Superose-12 gel filtration as compared to their M , values determined from SDS-PAGE, as did S. Zividans LAP (Spungin & Blumberg, 1989).…”
