General description
Aminopeptidase I from Streptomyces griseus is a thermostable enzyme with Glu131 and Tyr246 as key active site residues.
Application
Aminopeptidase I from Streptomyces griseus has been used:
- to test the biochar exposure effect on the enzyme activity
- in circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy studies
- as a positive control in p-nitroanilide degradation assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
Aminopeptidase I from S. griseus has a fairly broad specificity, being able to remove the N-terminal residue of most proteins, except where the penultimate residue is an imino acid. It contains two Zn2+ binding sites. Aminopeptidase I from S. griseus is inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline and is activated six-fold by Ca2+, which also stabilizes it against heat inactivation. This monomeric zinc metalloprotein has an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.4.
Aminopeptidase I may also be used as a reagent in the assay of endoprotease activities with a synthetic substrate in a two-stage assay. In the first stage, the endoprotease cleaves a peptide, such as Z-Y-X-Leu-p-nitroanilide, with the X, Y, and Z residues being chosen according to the specificity of the endoprotease.
Packaging
Package size based on protein content.
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of L-leucine-p-nitroanilide to L-leucine and p-nitroaniline per min at pH 8.0, 25 °C and 3.0 mM substrate concentration.
Physical form
Contains calcium acetate
Preparation Note
Reconstitute in 20 mM tricine, pH 8.0, with 0.05% bovine serum albumin. Dilute the enzyme with the reconstitution buffer to 0.15-0.3 U/mL for a working concentration. Solutions should be prepared fresh prior to use.
Other Notes
Endopeptidase contaminant: Not more than: 0.01 U/mg protein (as μmole tyrosine equivalent per min released from casein.)
