Purification, characterization, and substrate specificity of a novel highly glucose-tolerant beta-glucosidase from Aspergillus oryzae.
Aspergillus oryzae was found to secrete two distinct beta-glucosidases when it was grown in liquid culture on various substrates. The major form had a molecular mass of 130 kDa and was highly inhibited by glucose. The minor form, which was induced most effectively on quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone)-rich medium, represented no more than 18% of total beta-glucosidase activity but exhi...
متن کاملIdentifying selective inhibitors against the human cytosolic sialidase NEU2 by substrate specificity studies.
Aberrant expression of human sialidases has been shown to associate with various pathological conditions. Despite the effort in the sialidase inhibitor design, less attention has been paid to designing specific inhibitors against human sialidases and characterizing the substrate specificity of different sialidases regarding diverse terminal sialic acid forms and sialyl linkages. This is mainly ...
متن کاملMultiple forms of membrane-bound beta-glucosidase in human leucocytes.
insulin has been suggested by Cuatrecasas & Illiano (197 1) on the basis of neuraminidase treatment of adipose-tissue cells. Enzymic digestion was reported to have no effect on the total quantity of insulin receptor in the membranes or on the affinity of the receptor for insulin, but abolished the effect of insulin on glucose transport and on lipolysis. As shown in Fig. 1, neuraminidase action ...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity determinants in the farnesyltransferase beta-subunit.
Protein prenyltransferases catalyze the covalent attachment of isoprenoid lipids (farnesyl or geranylgeranyl) to a cysteine near the C terminus of their substrates. This study explored the specificity determinants for interactions between the farnesyltransferase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its protein substrates. A series of substitutions at amino acid 149 of the farnesyltransferase beta-su...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity analysis of endoplasmic reticulum glucosidase II using synthetic high mannose-type glycans.
Glucosidase II (Glc'ase II) is a glycan-processing enzyme that trims two alpha1,3-linked Glc residues in succession from the glycoprotein oligosaccharide Glc2Man9GlcNAc2 to give Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 and Man9GlcNAc2 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Monoglucosylated glycans, such as Glc1-Man9GlcNAc2, generated by this process play a key role in glycoprotein quality control in the ER, because they ar...
