Specificity studies on the heparin lyases from Flavobacterium heparinum.
An understanding of the substrate specificity study of the heparin lyases (heparinase and heparitinases) is crucial for elucidation of the sequence of heparin and heparan sulfate. Four chemically modified heparins have been used to study the substrate specificity of the three heparin lyases. These modified heparins include the N- and O-desulfated and then specifically N-sulfated or N-acetylated...
متن کاملHeparinase production by Flavobacterium heparinum.
Heparinase production by Flavobacterium heparinum in complex protein digest medium, with heparin employed as the inducer, has been studied and improved. The maximum productivity of heparinase has been increased 156-fold over that achieved by previously published methods to 375 U/liter per h in the complex medium. Rapid deactivation of heparinase activity, both specific and total, was observed a...
متن کاملCloning and expression of heparinase I gene from Flavobacterium heparinum.
Heparinases, enzymes that cleave heparin and heparin sulfate, are implicated in physiological and pathological functions ranging from wound healing to tumor metastasis and are useful in deheparinization therapies. We report the cloning of the heparinase I (EC 4.2.2.7) gene from Flavobacterium heparinum using PCR. Two degenerate oligonucleotides, based on the amino acid sequences derived from tr...
متن کاملStructure of heparin. Characterization of the products formed from heparin by the action of a heparinase and a heparitinase from Flavobacterium heparinum.
The total degradation of heparin by the joint action of a purified heparinase and a heparitinase from Flavobacterium heparinum is reported. The heparinase acts directly upon heparin, yielding 52% of a trisulfated disaccharide (O-(alpha-L-ido-4-enepyranosyluronic acid 2-sulfate)-(1leads to 4)-2sulfoamino-2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-sulfate) and 40% of a tetrasaccharide besides small amounts of hexa- and...
متن کاملRole of arginine 292 in the catalytic activity of chondroitin AC lyase from Flavobacterium heparinum.
Chondroitin AC lyase (chondroitinase EC 4.2.2.5), an eliminase from Flavobacterium heparinum, cleaves chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) at 1,4 glycosidic linkages between N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid residues. Cleavage occurs through beta-elimination in a random endolytic action pattern. Crystal structures of chondroitin AC lyase (wild type) complexed with oligosacchari...
