A protease which cleaves human immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) has been purified from broth cultures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This IgA1 protease is produced by pilated and nonpilated gonococci throughout their growth cycles. A combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, column chromatography, and either isoelectric focusing or affinity chromatography was utilized to obtain an enzyme preparation that showed approximately 3,800-fold purification and exhibited two bands (65,000 and 70,000 daltons) by analytical polyacrylamide electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and reducing conditions. IgA1 protease activity is dependent on divalent cations and is heat labile. Detection and quantitation of IgA protease activity utilized an assay in which [125I]IgA1 is incubated with protease preparations and the cleavage products are analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
一种可切割人免疫球蛋白A1(IgA1)的蛋白酶已从淋病奈瑟菌的肉汤培养物中纯化出来。这种IgA1蛋白酶由有菌毛和无菌毛的淋球菌在其整个生长周期中产生。通过硫酸铵沉淀、柱色谱以及等电聚焦或亲和色谱相结合的方法,获得了一种酶制剂,该制剂经分析型聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(在十二烷基硫酸钠存在及还原条件下)显示出约3800倍的纯化效果,并呈现两条带(65000和70000道尔顿)。IgA1蛋白酶的活性依赖于二价阳离子,且对热不稳定。IgA蛋白酶活性的检测和定量采用一种检测方法,即将[125I]IgA1与蛋白酶制剂一起孵育,然后通过十二烷基硫酸钠 - 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析裂解产物。
