THE pH STABILITY OF PROTYROSINASE AND TYROSINASE
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. pH stability diagrams for protyrosinase and for tyrosinase were constructed. 2. Above pH 7.30 protyrosinase is unstable. Between pH 7.30 and pH 9.30 there is a partial destruction. Beyond pH 9.30 it changes irreversibly into tyrosinase which in turn is destroyed beyond pH 10.12. 3. Through the lower ranges of pH protyrosinase is less stable than tyrosinase The former is destroyed below pH 4.80, while the latter is unaffected until the pH drops below 4.10. 4. The tyrosinase produced at high pH values resembles that produced by other methods.

Isolation and characterization of the tyrosinase gene from Neurospora crassa.
A precursor form of Neurospora crassa tyrosinase has been identified by Western transfer from crude protein extracts and by immunoprecipitation of in vitro translated tyrosinase mRNA. The molecular weight of protyrosinase (75,000) exceeds that of mature tyrosinase (46,000) by about 50%. In order to deduce the primary structure and the nature of the extension, the tyrosinase gene was cloned. Pol...

متن کاملPeroxidase, "protyrosinase," and the multiple forms of tyrosinase in mice.
Mammalian tyrosinase as currently defined has two catalytic functions: 1) the oxidation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and 2) the oxidation of dopa to dopa quinone (1-9). Although an imposing body of evidence has been advanced in support of this interpretation, Okun and associates have recently challenged the prevailing concept of the action of tyrosinase ( 10, 11 ). They ha...
متن کاملEnzymes in Ontogenesis (orthoptera) Xiii . Activation of Protyrosinase and the Oxidation of Ascorbic Acid* by Thomas Hunter Allen" and Joseph Hall Bodine
A number of reports showing that quinonoid compounds can act as carriers in the oxidation of ascorbic acid by oxygen have been reviewed by King (1, 2). Since phenol oxidases bring about the production of quinones, the association of ascorbic acid oxidation with these oxidases seems well established. A study of such an oxidation in conjunction with the tyramlne-tyrosinase and tyrosine-tyrosinase...

1. Proteins, when added to activators (sodium oleate. Aerosol) of protyrosinase, greatly decrease the degree of activation. 2. Certain proteins adsorbed on activator micelles are markedly affected by temperature and are rendered more sensitive by ultraviolet light. 3. Ideas are expressed as to the possible nature of activating and inhibiting phenomena especially as they relate to the enzyme tyr...
