Action of Papain and Ficin on Tadpoles and Arbacia Eggs

نویسنده

  • John H. Northrop
چکیده

Living tadpoles and Arbacia eggs are not digested by ficin or papain although the dead organisms are. Arbacia eggs develop in papain solutions but the cells become separated. Development is normal in ficin and trypsin solutions.

Direct Evidence for an Acylated Thiol as an Intermediate in Papain- and Ficin-catalysed Hydrolyses.

1. Methyl thionohippurate was prepared and shown to be a specific substrate for both papain and ficin. 2. The ultraviolet-absorption properties of the acyl-enzyme intermediate for both papain and ficin with methyl thionohippurate was that expected of an acyl-thiol. The possibility that other functional groups present in papain or ficin might be the site of acylation has been excluded. 3. The ch...

Digestibility and Proteinase Inhibitory Action of a Kidney Bean Globulin

A globulin fraction, isolated from black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), was resistant to hydrolysis by pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, ficin, hurain, and subtilisin. After denaturation of the globulin by heat or urea, only slight hydrolysis by enzymes could be detected. The activity of all seven proteinases on their respective substrates was inhibited by the bean globulin. Preincubation of ...

The Accelerating Action of Illumination in Recovery of Arbacia Eggs from Exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation

Light of wave lengths 0.30micro to 0.50micro, accelerates return of the cleavage rate of Arbacia eggs to normal, after delay by exposure to ultraviolet radiation (wave lengths 0.238micro to 0.31micro). Recovery is apparently complete. Wave lengths 0.30micro to 0.50micro have no effect on the cleavage rate of normal eggs, nor does such illumination previous to dosage with ultraviolet radiation i...

The Effect of Proteolytic Enzymes on E. coli Phages and on Native Proteins

Lambda coli phage is not inactivated by chymotrypsin, trypsin, or ficin. T(2) phage is slowly inactivated by high concentrations of (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, or Delta-chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin or ficin. P(1) phage is slowly inactivated by alpha-, beta-, or gamma-chymotrypsin, or ficin, more rapidly by Delta-chymotrypsin, and much more rapidly by trypsin. Crystalline egg albumin, crystallin...

Studies on Cell Metabolism and Cell D M S I O N v. Cytochi~ome Oxidase Activity in the Eggs of Ai~bacia Punctulata by ~¢i. E. Kra.i-il,

In previous papers of this series (1-4) and allied publications, a study has been made of the effects of various agents on the respiration and cell division of the fertilized eggs of the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata. These experiments were part of a program directed toward gaining some insight into the respective rSles of individual enzyme systems in the utilization of oxidative energy for dev...
