Neutral maltase/glucoamylase from rabbit renal cortex.

چکیده
Maltase activity (EC 3.2.1.20) was solubilized from rabbit kidney brush-border membrane by using 1.0% Triton X-100 and purified 230-fold with an overall recovery of 30%. The purification procedure makes use of heat precipitation, chromatography on DE-52 DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. Rabbit kidney brush border exhibited glucoamylase activity with a maltase/glucoamylase ratio of 1.5:1 to 2.0:1. During purification the maltase and glucoamylase activities behaved identically. The Mr of the complex is 590,000, and it appears to be composed of eight identical subunits linked by disulphide bridges.

A comparison of the active site of maltase-glucoamylase from the brush border of rabbit small intestine and kidney by chemical modification studies.
The neutral maltase-glucoamylase complex has been purified to homogeneity from the brush-border membrane of rabbit intestine and kidney. Chemical modification of the amino acid side chains was carried out on the purified enzymes. Studies on the kidney enzyme revealed that tryptophan, histidine and cysteine were essential for both maltase and glucoamylase activities, whereas tryptophan, histidin...

The 100000g supernatants from 13-day-old suckling-rat intestinal homogenates contained 43.5% of the total intestinal maltase activity, compared with 7.1% in weaned adult rats aged 40 days. The soluble maltase activity was separated on Sepharose 4B into two quantitatively equal fractions at pH6.0, one containing a maltase with a neutral pH optimum and the other a maltase with an acid pH optimum....
متن کاملKinetic studies on glucoamylase of rabbit small intestine.
The kinetic properties of a maltase-glucoamylase complex with a neutral pH optimum, purified to homogeneity from the brush borders of the rabbit small intestine, are described. It has a broad range of substrate specificity, hydrolysing di- and poly-saccharides with alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 linkages. The Km and Vmax, values of the enzyme for the various substrates were determined. Starch and malt...
متن کاملThe Effect of Polyhydroxylated Alkaloids on Maltase-Glucoamylase
One of the most important carbohydrate-splitting enzymes is themaltase-glucoamylase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-glucosidic linkages. Maltase-glucoamylase inhibitors during the last few years have aroused medical interests in the treatment of diabetes. They contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism of maltase-glucoamylase. At present there are many different classes of ma...
متن کاملMilk glucosidase activity enables suckled pup starch digestion
UNLABELLED ᅟ: Starch requires six enzymes for digestion to free glucose: two amylases (salivary and pancreatic) and four mucosal maltase activities; sucrase-isomaltase and maltase-glucoamylase. All are deficient in suckling rodents. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to test (13)C-starch digestion before weaning by measuring enrichment of blood (13)C-glucose in maltase-glucoamylase-null...
