The lysosomal forms A and B, and an intermediate form I of N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30) were isolated from bovine brain, resulting in the following purification factors and specific activities: hexosaminidase A 20255, 103 U mg-1; hexosaminidase B 34715, 134 U mg-1; hexosaminidase I 15241, 78 U mg-1. 2. The molecular weights of the polypeptide chains were identical for each isoenzyme: two bands of 50 and 53 k daltons were found. 3. Carbohydrate analysis showed the presence of mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid. This composition, and the absence of N-acetylgalactosamine, indicated that only N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide chains are present. 4. The amino-acid composition showed no substantial differences for the three isoenzymes.
摘要
从牛脑中分离出N - 乙酰 - β - D - 己糖胺酶(EC 3.2.1.30)的溶酶体形式A和B以及中间形式I,得到以下纯化因子和比活性:己糖胺酶A 20255,103 U mg⁻¹;己糖胺酶B 34715,134 U mg⁻¹;己糖胺酶I 15241,78 U mg⁻¹。2. 每种同工酶的多肽链分子量相同:发现了两条分别为50和53千道尔顿的条带。3. 碳水化合物分析表明存在甘露糖、半乳糖、N - 乙酰葡糖胺和唾液酸。这种组成以及不存在N - 乙酰半乳糖胺表明仅存在N - 糖苷键连接的寡糖链。4. 三种同工酶的氨基酸组成没有实质性差异。
