A menadione-dependent enzymatic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate.
Sonic extracts of Clostridium sticklandii contain an enzyme that hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl phosphate to yield equivalent amounts of p-nitrophenol and orthophosphate. A large number of common phosphate esters is not decomposed. The most striking property of the bacterial enzyme is its dependence on both menadione (2-methyl-1,4-napthoquinone or vitamin Ka) and sulfhydryl compounds for activity, Th...
متن کاملThe Enzymic Hydrolysis of p - Glucosides
The present work arose out of an attempt to understand the course of cellulose breakdown in preparations of cellulolytic enzymes which also contained cellobiase activity. Previous investigations of the ,B-glucosidases have been of three kinds-an examination of their specificity ranges (reviewed by Veibel, 1950), the demonstration of their reversibility and the study of glucosyl transfer. Croft-...
متن کاملPotassium ion-activated hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in pancreatic islet-cell membranes.
Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate was measured in a fraction enriched in plasma membranes from pancreatic islets of non-inbred ob/ob mice. Hydrolysis was stimulated by K+ (10mM) in the pH range 5--10; a small peak of K+-induced activation was observed between pH7.5 and 8. Both the K+-induced activation and the hydrolysis in the absence of K+ were Mg2+-dependent; maximum activation was obtai...
متن کاملLipoprotein Lipase-catalyzed Hydrolysis of p-Nitrophenyl Butyrate
The mechanism of action of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase (LpL) was studied with a water-soluble substrate of p-nitrophenylbutyrate (PNPB). The calculated maximal velocity ( Vmm) and Michaelis constant (Km) values at 37 "C were 2.0 pmol of p-nitrophenol released/min/ mg of LpL and 0.52 mM, respectively. The addition of phospholipid vesicles enhanced the rate of PNPB hydrolysis by LpL. In the pr...
متن کاملCatalytic activity of enzyme in water/organic cosolvent mixtures for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl benzoate
The dependence of the catalytic activities of α-chymotrypsin on the concentration of organic cosolvents (acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl formamide, ethylene glycol, methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol and tert-butanol) in mixed aqueous media has been studied towards hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl benzoate using cetyltriphenylphosphonium bromide surfactant at pH 7.75...
