[Characterization of a protease from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris (thermitase). 3. Substrate specificity and properties of partially purified thermitase].
During the process of cultivation of Th. vulgaris several proteases are formed. In the present investigation the extensively purified major component was used. The substrate specificity was determined by means of 7 proteins, 7 amino acid esters, 5 fatty acid esters and 15 amino acid 4-nitroanilides. Among the protein substrates tested, urea denaturated hemoglobin was split best, followed by gelatin, casein, field bean protein, serum albumin and gluten. The weakest rate of hydrolysis was observed with elastin. In contrast to this acetyl-(L-ala)3-methylester, that is a substrate for elastase, was split best from all the esters tested. Only 8% of this activity could be found with the chymotrypsin substrates acetyl-L-tyr-ethylester and acetyl-L-phe-ethylester and 1% of the above activity with the trypsin substrates tosyl-L-arg-methylester and benzoyl-L-arg-methylester. The fatty acid esters and the p-nitroanilides were hydrolyzed much more slowly. The pH-optimum of thermitase was found in the weakly alkaline region of pH 7 to 9. There were only small differences between the individual high and low molecular substrates. The temperature optimum was between 60 and 75 degrees C for esters and p-nitroanilides as substrates and at 90 degrees C for casein. It should be mentioned that the enzyme was quickly inactivated at temperatures above 70 degrees C.

[Preparation and some properties of immobilized trypsin from the crayfish Cambarus affinis Say (author's transl)].
The anionic tryptic enzyme from the crayfish (crayfish trypsin) was adsorbed to DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and covalently coupled to BrCN-activated Sepharose 4B and porous glass loaded with isothiocyanate propyl groups (ITC-glass). The relative activities against p-tosylarginine methyl ester (TosArgOMe) were found to be 30 to 100% for DEAE-Sephadex crayfish trypsin, 20 to 53% for Sepharose crayfish trypsin, and 17 to 38% for ITC-glass crayfish trypsin. The relative activities rise with declining protein content of the enzyme matrix complexes. The highest relative proteinase activities (substrate: 1% casein) were obtained with Sepharose crayfish trypsin (74%), followed by DEAE-Sephadex crayfish trypsin (68%) and ITC-glass crayfish trypsin (45%). Similar results are obtained with protamine and native lactate dehydrogenase as substrates. In accordance with the Sepharose bovine trypsin complex the apparent Michaelis constant (Km(app)) of the Sepharose crayfish trypsin with TosArgOMe was found to be markedly higher than that of the native enzyme. The pH-activity profiles of the crayfish trypsin derivatives using TosArgOMe as substrate were shown to be displaced towards more alkaline pH values by 0.5 (ITC-glass crayfish trypsin) and 1 (Sepharose crayfish trypsin) pH units, respectively, or towards more acidic pH values (by 1.5 pH units) with the polycationic derivative (DEAE-Sephadex crayfish trypsin) as compared to the native enzyme (optimum pH 8.6). Concerning the temperature stability of the derivatives, Sepharose crayfish trypsin was more stabile, ITC-glass crayfish trypsin behaves like the native crayfish trypsin, and DEAE-Sephadex crayfish trypsin was more sensitive at elevated temperatures as compared to the soluble enzyme. The properties of the crayfish trypsin derivatives are compared with the properties of the bovine analogues.
