Abstract

A fibrinolytic enzyme of Streptomyces corcohrussi from soil sediment was purified by chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-50. The analysis of SDS-polyacrylamide gel suggested that the purified enzyme is a homogeneous protein and the molecular mass is approximately 34 kDa. The purified enzyme showed activity of 0.8 U/ml in a plasminogen-rich fibrin plate, while its activity in a plasminogen-free fibrin plate was only 0.36 U/ml. These results suggested that the purified enzyme acts as a plasminogen activator. The fibrinolytic activity of the enzyme under the supplementation of protease inhibitors, $\varepsilon$-ACA, t-AMCHA and mercuric chloride in the enzyme reaction was less than 24%, indicating that it could be modulated by the plasmin and/or fibrinogen inhibitors involved in the fibrinogen-to-fibrin converting process. As time passed, $Zn^{2+}$, a heavy metal ion, inhibited the activity to 34.1%. The optimum temperature of the purified enzyme was approximately $50^{\circ}C$ and over 92% of the enzyme activity was maintained between pH 5.0 and 8.0. Therefore, our results provide a potential fibrinolytic enzyme as a noble thrombolytic agent from S. corcohrussi.

토양에서 생육하는 Streptomyces corcohrussi의 혈전용해효소가 DEAE-Sephadex A-50 그리고 Sephadex G-50 젤 여과를 이용한 크로마토그라피 방법에 의해 순수분리 되었다. SDS-PAGE 분석결과, 분리된 효소는 단일 단백질이고, 그 분자량은 약 34 kDa 이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 순수분리된 효소의 혈전용해활성은 plasminogen-rich fibrin plate에서 0.8 U/ml 이었으나, plasminogen-free fibrin plate 에서의 그 효소활성은 0.36 U/ml 이하이었다. 이러한 결과로, 순수 분리된 효소가 plasminogen activator 로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 단백질 저해제인 $\varepsilon$-ACA, t-AMCHA 와 mercuric chloride의 존재시에 그 혈전용해활성은 24% 이하이었는데, 이러한 결과는 이들 plasmin 저해제 그리고(혹은) fibrinogen을 fibrin으로 전환시키는 과정과 관련된 fibrinogen 저해제에 의해 이 효소가 조절될 수 있음을 나타낼 수 있다. 한편으로, 중금속 이온인 $Zn^{2+}$은 그 활성을 58% 감소시켰다. 순수 분리된 효소의 최적 온도는 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 이었고, 그 효소활성의 92% 이상은 pH 5.0과 8.0 사이에서 유지되었다. 그러므로, 이러한 결과들은 하나의 강력한 혈전용해효소를 제공해서, S. corcohrussi 유래 새로운 혈전용해제의 개발에 기여하도록 한다.
