An extracellular low temperature-active alkaline stable peptidase from Acinetobacter sp. MN 12 was purified to homogeneity with a purification fold of 9.8. The enzyme exhibited specific activity of 6,540 U/mg protein, with an apparent molecular weight of 35 kDa. The purified enzyme was active over broad range of temperature from 4 to 60 °C with optimum activity at 40 °C. The enzyme retained more than 75 % of activity over a broad range of pH (7.0-11.0) with optimum activity at pH 9.0. The purified peptidase was strongly inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, giving an indication of serine type. The K m and V max for casein and gelatin were 0.3529, 2.03 mg/ml and 294.11, 384.61 μg/ml/min respectively. The peptidase was compatible with surfactants, oxidizing agents and commercial detergents, and effectively removed dried blood stains on cotton fabrics at low temperature ranging from 15 to 35 °C.
从不动杆菌 MN12 中分离得到一种胞外低温碱性稳定的肽酶,经纯化后其纯度达到 9.8 倍。该酶的比活为 6540 U/mg 蛋白,表观分子量为 35 kDa。纯化后的酶在 4 至 60°C 的宽温度范围内具有活性,最适温度为 40°C。该酶在 pH 7.0-11.0 的宽范围内保持超过 75%的活性,最适 pH 为 9.0。该肽酶被苯甲基磺酰氟强烈抑制,表明其属于丝氨酸类型。酪蛋白和明胶的 K m 和 V max 分别为 0.3529、2.03mg/ml 和 294.11、384.61μg/ml/min。该肽酶与表面活性剂、氧化剂和商业洗涤剂兼容,可有效去除棉织物上在 15 至 35°C 低温下的干涸血斑。
