Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis ACA-DC 178, which was isolated from Greek Kasseri cheese, produces a cell-wall-bound proteinase. The proteinase was removed from the cell envelope by washing the cells with a Ca2+-free buffer. The crude proteinase extract shows its highest activity at pH 6.0 and 40 degrees C. It is inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, showing that the enzyme is a serine-type proteinase. Considering the substrate specificity, the enzyme is similar to the lactococcal PI-type proteinases, since it hydrolyzes beta-casein mainly and alpha- and kappa-caseins to a much lesser extent. The cell-wall-bound proteinase from L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis ACA-DC 178 liberates four main peptides from beta-casein, which have been identified.
德氏乳杆菌乳酸亚种ACA-DC 178分离自希腊卡塞里奶酪,可产生一种细胞壁结合蛋白酶。通过用无Ca2+缓冲液洗涤细胞,可将该蛋白酶从细胞膜中去除。粗蛋白酶提取物在pH 6.0和40℃时表现出最高活性。它被苯甲基磺酰氟抑制,表明该酶是一种丝氨酸型蛋白酶。考虑到底物特异性,该酶与乳球菌PI型蛋白酶相似,因为它主要水解β-酪蛋白,而对α-酪蛋白和κ-酪蛋白的水解程度要小得多。德氏乳杆菌乳酸亚种ACA-DC 178的细胞壁结合蛋白酶从β-酪蛋白中释放出四种主要肽段,这些肽段已被鉴定。
