Two criteria suggest that most of the proteinase of Streptococcus lactis is localized in the cell wall. (i) Intact cells possess proteinase activity when incubated with a high-molecular-weight substrate. (ii) Most of the cell-bound proteinase activity is released during spheroplast formation under conditions which result in the release of only 1% of the intracellular enzymes aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The solubilized cell wall, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm fractions contained 84, 0, and 16%, respectively, of the total proteinase activity with casein as substrate. The physiological role of a surface-bound proteinase in this organism is discussed.
有两条标准表明,乳酸链球菌的大多数蛋白酶定位于细胞壁。(i)完整细胞与高分子量底物一起孵育时具有蛋白酶活性。(ii)在仅导致1%的细胞内酶醛缩酶和甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶释放的条件下,原生质球形成过程中大部分细胞结合的蛋白酶活性被释放。以酪蛋白为底物时,溶解的细胞壁、质膜和细胞质部分分别含有总蛋白酶活性的84%、0%和16%。本文讨论了这种生物体中表面结合蛋白酶的生理作用。
