چکیده

The ability of various nonionic detergents to solubilize D-alanine carboxypeptidase and other membrane-bound enzymes was correlated to a physical property of the detergent, the HLB number. Only a fairly narrow range of detergents were effective solubilizing agents. Purified carboxypeptidase required either a detergent or detergent plus a lipid fraction for stability. Only those detergents effective in solubilizing the enzyme were effective in stabilizing it.

D=Alanine Carboxypeptidase from Bacillus subtilis Membranes

The D-alanine carboxypeptidase was solubilized from the membranes of Bacillus subtilis with the nonionic detergent, Triton X-100, and pursed to homogeneity. The purified protein bound irreversibly radioactivity from [Wlpenicillin G. It contained a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 50,000 and existed in solution as a protein-detergent aggregate of molecular weight about 350,000. The a...

Purification and characterization of the thermophilic D-alanine carboxypeptidase from membranes of Bacillus stearothermophilus.

The D-alanine carboxypeptidase, the major penicillinbinding component in membranes of Bacillus stearothermophilus, was purified by covalent a5nity chromatography. The enzyme was solubilized in the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, bound to a column of a 6-aminopenicillanic acidSepharose derivative, and eluted upon treatment of the column with neutral hydroxylamine. The enzyme was thermophilic, p...

Isolation by covalent affinity chromatography of the penicillin-binding components from membranes of Bacillus subtilis.

An affinity chromatography technique was developed to isolate the five penicillin-binding components present in Bacillus subtilis membranes. The proteins were solubilized by the detergent Nonidet P-40, bound covalently to penicillin-substituted Sepharose, and subsequently eluted from the matrix with neutral hydroxylamine, which cleaves the penicilloyl-enzyme bond. Penicillin binding-component V...

Studies of the high molecular weight penicillin-binding proteins of Bacillus subtilis.

Seven or eight penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) were detected in Bacillus subtilis membranes. By introducing covalent affinity chromatography employing cephalosporins as ligands, milligram amounts of three high molecular weight PBPs (PBP 1 ab, Mr = 120,000; PBP 2b, Mr = 94,000; and PBP 4, Mr = 78,000) were obtained without any contamination of the major PBP 5, the D-alanine carboxypeptidase. ...

Inactivation of D-alanine carboxypeptidase by penicillins and cephalosporins is not lethal in Bacillus subtilis.

The D-alanine carboxypeptidase of Bacillus subtilis is a particulate enzyme that is irreversibly inactivated by penicillins and cephalosporins. However, the lethal concentrations of these antibiotics are not the same as those that inhibit enzymatic activity in vitro. 6-Aminopenicillanic acid inactivates at least 95% of the enzyme at nonlethal concentrations. Conversely, cephalothin is lethal at...
