An assay using the artificial substrate, 2,4-diamino-10-methyl-pteroylglutamyl-gamma-glutamate (MTX-G1), was developed to measure gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (conjugase), which hydrolyzes folylpolyglutamates. This assay allows us to: 1) measure conjugase for the first time in rat brain and 2) measure conjugase in a reliable, sensitive and inexpensive manner. The MTX-binding assay results were compared to samples analyzed by HPLC and found to vary by only 13%. The artificial substrate, MTX-G1, had a lower rate of hydrolysis than pteroylglutamyl-gamma-glutamate (Pte-G2), 70.7 +/- 0.64 and 92.6 +/- 0.22 nmoles/hr/mg protein respectively. Conjugase was semi-purified 24 fold in H2O and found to have a pH optimum of 5.0.
开发了一种使用人工底物2,4-二氨基-10-甲基蝶酰谷氨酰-γ-谷氨酸(MTX-G1)的测定方法,以测量水解叶酰聚谷氨酸的γ-谷氨酰水解酶(结合酶)。该测定方法使我们能够:1)首次在大鼠脑中测量结合酶,以及2)以可靠、灵敏且廉价的方式测量结合酶。将MTX结合测定结果与通过高效液相色谱分析的样品进行比较,发现差异仅为13%。人工底物MTX-G1的水解速率低于蝶酰谷氨酰-γ-谷氨酸(Pte-G2),分别为70.7±0.64和92.6±0.22纳摩尔/小时/毫克蛋白质。结合酶在水中进行了24倍的半纯化,发现其最适pH为5.0。
