Isolation, activity and immunological characterisation of a secreted aspartic protease, CtsD, from Aspergillus fumigatus.
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that infects immunocompromised patients. A putative aspartic protease gene (ctsD; 1425 bp; intron-free) was identified and cloned. CtsD is evolutionarily distinct from all previously identified A. fumigatus aspartic proteases. Recombinant CtsD was expressed in inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli (0.2mg/g cells) and subjected to extensiv...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a secreted metalloprotease of Aspergillus fumigatus.
A metalloprotease (MEP) secreted by Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from an alkaline protease-deficient mutant after the fungus was cultivated in the presence of collagen as the sole nitrogen and carbon source. The enzyme was purified 50-fold from the culture supernatant after adsorption to hydroxylapatite and carboxy-methyl-Sephadex and after gel filtration. The molecular mass was determine...
متن کاملIsolation and characterisation of an extracellular alkaline protease of Aspergillus fumigatus.
Aspergillus fumigatus secreted an inducible alkaline protease (AlPase) when cultivated in the presence of collagen (200 micrograms/ml) as sole nitrogen and carbon source. Proteolytic activity was maximum at pH 9.0 with azocollagen as substrate. The enzyme, which was the major protein found in the supernate of a liquid culture, was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel filtration. ...
متن کاملIn vitro Protease Inhibition and Cytotoxicity of Aspergillus fumigatus Biomolecules Secreted under Long-Term Aerated Conditions
The fatality rate of invasive aspergillosis (IA) is still very high, especially in prolonged and untreated pulmonary cases. Aspergillus fumigatus is the main causative agent of IA and investigation of its metabolites could provide valuable insight into virulence factor(s) associated with this organism. We evaluated the A. fumigatus culture filtrate (CF) products generated during short- and long...
متن کاملIsolation, purification and characterization of 5'-phosphodiesterase from Aspergillus fumigatus
5'-Phosphodiesterase (5'-PDE) catalyzes the hydrolysis of ribonucleic acid to obtain a mixture of ribonucleotides, such as 5'-guanosine monophosphate and 5'-adenosine monophosphate. In this study, a 5'-PDE was newly isolated and purified from Aspergillus fumigatus. Following purification, this enzyme exhibited a specific activity of 1036.76 U/mg protein, a molecular weight of 9.5 kDa, and an op...
