Marine organisms are a rich source of enzymes that exhibit excellent biological activity and a wide range of applications. However, there has been limited research on the proteases found in marine mudflat organisms. Based on this background, the marine fibrinolytic enzyme FELP, which was isolated and purified from clamworm (), has exhibited excellent fibrinolytic activity. We demonstrated the FELP with a purification of 10.61-fold by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel-filtration chromatography. SDS-PAGE, fibrin plate method, and LC-MS/MS indicated that the molecular weight of FELP is 28.9 kDa and identified FELP as a fibrinolytic enzyme-like protease. FELP displayed the maximum fibrinolytic activity at pH 9 (407 ± 16 mm) and 50 °C (724 ± 27 mm) and had excellent stability at pH 7-11 (50%) or 30-60 °C (60%), respectively. The three-dimensional structure of some amino acid residues of FELP was predicted with the SWISS-MODEL. The fibrinolytic and fibrinogenolytic assays showed that the enzyme possessed direct fibrinolytic activity and indirect fibrinolysis via the activation of plasminogen; it could preferentially degrade Aα-chains of fibrinogen, followed by Bβ- and γ-chains. Overall, the fibrinolytic enzyme was successfully purified from a marine Annelida (phylum), with favorable stability that has strong fibrinolysis activity in vitro. Therefore, FELP appears to be a potent fibrinolytic enzyme with an application that deserves further investigation.
海洋生物是酶的丰富来源,这些酶表现出优异的生物活性和广泛的应用。然而,对于海洋泥滩生物中发现的蛋白酶的研究有限。基于这一背景,从沙蚕()中分离和纯化的海洋纤维蛋白溶酶 FELP 表现出优异的纤维蛋白溶解活性。我们通过硫酸铵沉淀、离子交换层析和凝胶过滤层析将 FELP 纯化了 10.61 倍。SDS-PAGE、纤维蛋白平板法和 LC-MS/MS 表明,FELP 的分子量为 28.9 kDa,并将 FELP 鉴定为一种纤维蛋白溶酶样蛋白酶。FELP 在 pH 9(407±16mm)和 50°C(724±27mm)时显示出最大的纤维蛋白溶解活性,在 pH 7-11(50%)或 30-60°C(60%)时具有出色的稳定性。使用 SWISS-MODEL 预测了 FELP 的一些氨基酸残基的三维结构。纤维蛋白溶解和纤维蛋白原降解试验表明,该酶具有直接的纤维蛋白溶解活性和通过纤溶酶原激活的间接纤溶作用;它可以优先降解纤维蛋白原的 Aα-链,然后是 Bβ-和γ-链。总体而言,成功地从海洋环节动物门(门)中纯化出了纤维蛋白溶酶,其具有良好的稳定性,在体外具有很强的纤维蛋白溶解活性。因此,FELP 似乎是一种具有应用潜力的有效纤维蛋白溶酶。
