RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the kinectics characteristics of sulfation of apigenin mediated by SULTIA3.Methods After incubation of apigenin using in vitro SULT1A3 system, high-performance liquid chromatography was utilized to determine the sulfates of apigenin.Mass spectrum(MS) were employed to elucidate the structure of metabolite.The program GraphPad Prism 5 was used to perform the kinetic characterization of SULT1A3 catalyzed metabolism of apigenin.Results A liner calibration curve for the assay of apigenin was validated in the range of 0.15625 ~30 μM with the recoveries of at least 80% and intra-day and inter-day RSD of less than 15%.Metabolic product of apigenin and SULT1A3 in the incubated system was identified one monosulfate.The metabolic behavior of apigenin in SULT1A3 was followed substrate inhibition kinetics.Apparent kinetic parameters of metabolism of apigenin by SULT1A3, Kmwas(0.355 ±1.04) μM and Ksi was(23.62 ±0.06) μM,Vmax was(65.71 ±1.30) nmol/(min? mg),Vmax/Km was 185.10 mL/(min? mg).Conclusion SULT1A3 can mediate the binding of apigenin sulfonated reaction, and the character of enzymatic kinetics shows substrate inhibition.Sulfation of apigenin mediated by SULTIA3 may play an important role in phaseⅡmetabolic in vivo.
RESUMEN
The enzyme glucanase from Moniliophthora perniciosa was produced in liquid medium and purified from the culture supernatant. A multivariate statistical approach (Response Surface Methodology - RSM) was employed to evaluate the effect of variables, including inducer (yeast extract) and fermentation time, on secreted glucanase activities M. perniciosa detected in the culture medium. The crude enzyme present in the supernatant was purified in two steps: precipitation with ammonium sulfate (70 percent) and gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. The best inducer and fermentation time for glucanase activities were 5.9 g L-1 and 13 days, respectively. The results revealed three different isoforms (GLUI, GLUII and GLUIII) with purification factors of 4.33, 1.86 and 3.03, respectively. The partially purified enzymatic extract showed an optimum pH of 5.0 and an optimum temperature of 40°C. The enzymatic activity increased in the presence of KCl at all concentrations studied. The glucanase activity was highest in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. The enzyme showed high thermal stability, losing only 10.20 percent of its specific activity after 40 minutes of incubation at 90°C. A purified enzyme with relatively good thermostability that is stable at low pH might be used in future industrial applications.
A enzima glucanase de Moniliophthora perniciosa foi produzida em meio líquido e purificada a partir do sobrenadante da cultura. A metodologia de superfície de resposta (MSR) foi usada para avaliar os efeitos das variáveis, incluindo indutor (extrato de levedura) e tempo de fermentação, na atividade da glucanase de M. perniciosa detectada no meio de cultura. A enzima presente no sobrenadante foi purificada em duas etapas: precipitação com sulfato de amônio (70 por cento) e cromatografia de filtração em gel em Sephacryl S-200. A produção da enzima glucanase foi maior na concentração de 5,9 g L-1 de extrato de levedura e 13 dias de fermentação. Os resultados mostraram três diferentes isoformas (GLUI, GLUII e GLUIII) com fatores de purificação de 4,33, 1,86 e 3,03, respectivamente. O extrato enzimático parcialmente purificado mostrou um pH ótimo de 5,0 e uma temperatura ótima de 40°C. A atividade enzimática aumentou na presença de KCl em todas as concentrações estudadas. A atividade da glucanase foi maior na presença de NaCl 0,2 M. A enzima apresentou alta estabilidade térmica, perdendo apenas 10,20 por cento de sua atividade específica após 40 minutos de incubação a 90°C. Os resultados de termoestabilidade e a atividade em baixo pH mostraram que a enzima glucanase de M. perniciosa tem características promissoras para futuras aplicações industriais.
