First biochemical characterization of a novel ribonuclease from wild mushroom Amanita hemibapha
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 45-kDa ribonuclease (RNase) was purified from dried fruiting bodies of the wild mushroom Amanita hemibapha. It was adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose, S-sepharose, and finally purified on Superdex 75. The RNase exhibited maximal RNase activity at pH 5 and in a temperature range between 60-70°C. It demonstrated no ribonucleolytic activity toward four polyhomoribonucleotides. The amino acid sequence analysis (GDDETFWEHEWAK) showed this RNase was a ribonuclease T2-like RNase. It exhibited strong inhibitory activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) with an IC(50) of 17 μM.

A novel protease with a molecular mass of 15 kDa was purified from fresh fruiting bodies of the wild mushroom Amanita farinosa. The purification protocol entailed anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, cation exchange chromatography on SP-Sepharose, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75. The protease was u...

متن کاملAmanita bisporigera-Induced Hepatic Failure: A Fatal Case of Mushroom Ingestion
Wild mushroom poisoning from the genus Amanita is a medical emergency, with Amanita phalloides being the most common offender. Patients may complain of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. If not aggressively treated, fulminant hepatic failure may develop within several days of ingestion. In this case report, a patient poisoned with Amanita bisporigera is described, along with the ...
