Purification and characterization of a novel ceramidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
We report here a novel type of ceramidase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AN17 isolated from the skin of a patient with atopic dermatitis. The enzyme was purified 83,400-fold with an overall yield of 21.1% from a culture supernatant of strain AN17. After being stained with a silver staining solution, the purified enzyme showed a single protein band, and its molecular mass was estimated to be 70 kDa o...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a membrane bound neutral pH optimum magnesium-dependent and phosphatidylserine-stimulated sphingomyelinase from rat brain.
Sphingomyelin hydrolysis and ceramide generation catalyzed by sphingomyelinases (SMase) are key components of the signaling pathways in cytokine- and stress-induced cellular responses. In this study, we report the partial purification and characterization of the membrane bound, neutral pH optimal, and magnesium-dependent SMase (N-SMase) from rat brain. Proteins from Triton X-100 extract of brai...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a membrane-bound protein carboxyl methyltransferase from rat kidney cortex.
Class II protein carboxyl methyltransferases (EC 2.1.1.77) are known to exist predominantly in a soluble form in all cells studied so far. These enzymes have been purified to homogeneity from the cytosols of many mammalian tissues but not from membranes. We describe here the purification to apparent homogeneity of a membrane-associated protein carboxyl methyltransferase from the brush border me...
متن کاملMacquarimicin A inhibits membrane-bound neutral sphingomyelinase from rat brain.
Ceramide, the product of sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis by neutral pH-optimum and magnesium-dependent sphingomyelinase (N-SMase), has been reported to increase in response to several inflammatory stimuli including TNFa and IL-1/3. Thus, it has been suggested that ceramide generation plays an important role in such stimuli-mediated physiological and pathological processes* ~9). Moreover, cell per...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a membrane-bound hydrogenase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus.
Highly washed membrane preparations from cells of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus contain high hydrogenase activity (9.4 micromol of H(2) evolved/mg at 80 degrees C) using reduced methyl viologen as the electron donor. The enzyme was solubilized with n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside and purified by multistep chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100. The purified preparation c...
