Changes in protein profile during coagulation of latex from Carica papaya.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the changes in peptide composition by SDS-PAGE analysis of latex from Carica papaya collected at various times after incision of the unripe fruit. The data show that during latex coagulation several peptides are processed in an orderly fashion.

Background and purpose: Papain, a proteolytic enzyme, is found in the dried and purified latex from the fruits of Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae). Papain is used in medicine as a digestive and in the debridement of necrotic tissues. It is used in pharmaceutics as a spreading agent for drugs, supplied as an ointment (10%) with urea which denatures nonviable protein matter present in lesions. ...
متن کاملAffinity purification of the novel cysteine proteinase papaya proteinase IV, and papain from papaya latex.
A procedure is described for the purification of a previously undetected cysteine proteinase, which we have called papaya proteinase IV, from spray-dried latex of the papaya (Carica papaya) plant. The purification involves affinity chromatography on Gly-Phe-aminoacetonitrile linked to CH-Sepharose 4B, with elution by 2-hydroxyethyl disulphide at pH 4.5. The product thus obtained is a mixture of...
متن کاملPapaya (Carica papaya) consumption is unsafe in pregnancy: fact or fable? Scientific evaluation of a common belief in some parts of Asia using a rat model.
Using controlled in vivo and in vitro pharmacological methods, we evaluated the safety of papaya (Carica papaya) consumption in pregnancy with reference to its common avoidance during pregnancy in some parts of Asia. Ripe papaya (Carica papaya L. (Caricaecae) blend (500 ml/l water) was freely given to four groups of Sprague-Dawley rats at different stages of gestation (days 1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and...
متن کاملComparison of cysteine proteases of four laticiferous plants and characterization of Euphorbia nivulia Buch.-Ham. latex glycosylated cysteine peptidase
Investigations have been carried out on proteolytic activities of four laticiferous plants, viz. Calotropis procera (Ait.) R. Br. (Ruie), Carica papaya Linn. (Papaya), Euphorbia nivulia Buch.-Ham. (Sabar) and Ficus carica Linn. (Anjir) using Hammerstein grade casein and skimmed milk powder. Ratio of milk clotting to proteolytic activity was highest in the latex sample of C. papaya followed by F...
متن کاملNew approach for papaya latex storage without virus degradation
Papaya meleira virus (PMeV) is the causal agent of papaya (Carica papaya L.) sticky disease, which has been detected through analysis of its double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genome from plant latex. In this work we demonstrate that PMeV dsRNA is protected during 25 days when latex is diluted in citrate buffer pH 5.0 (1:1 v/v) and maintained at -20ºC. At the same temperature, some protection was obse...
