A study on the active center of the acid protease from Penicillium sp. was conducted, and also the milk clotting activity of acid prorease was measured. 1. PCMB failed to influence the proteolytic activity of acid protease, indicating that a reactive sulfhydryl group is not required for the enzymatic activity. 2. $\varepsilon$-amino caproic acid did not show any inhibitory effect on tile proteolytic activity of acid protease. 3. Also 2, 4-dinitro phenol did not show any inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. 4. Acid protease from Penicillium sp. showed a strong milk clotting activity in the presence of Ca ion. 5. This enzyme had a strong proteolytic activity on various substrate, such as casein, denatured hemoglobin, ovalbumin, denatured bovine muscle protein, denatured percine muscle protein and denatured chicken muscle protein.

The studies of neutral protease which was obtained by passing through Sephadex A-50 had been reported not long ago. Since that time the author also conducted the research to be investigated the physical properties of acid protease absorbed by Sephadex A-50. The results are summarized as follows : 1) Cultivating Aspergillus oryza SHW-131 on a wheat bran medium, the acid protease including neutral protease is very sensitive for temperature. 3) Activity of acid protease is very sensitive for temeprature. 3) This enzyme was proved, what is called, to be a sort of weak acid protease. It's optimum pH was lied in about 4.5. 4) A range of pH for stability is far more narrow than any other protease. 5) The acid protease is dropped by EDTA solution in its activity.

Artemia franciscana의 cyst에서 protease를 정제하가 위해 세포를 파쇄하여 원심 분리한 후 상등액을 회수하였다. 그상등액에서 40-60% 황산암모늄을 첨가하여 침전시켜서 염을 제가한 후, Sphadex G-200 및 DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography를 하여 정제한 후 본 효소의 특성을 조사한바 그 특성은 아래와 같았다. 정제 과정을 거치는 동안, 비활성은 13.64배 증가하였고, 수율은 7%였다. 그리고 이효소는 pH 6에서는 안정하였으나, pH 8이상에서는 대부분의 활성이 실활 되었고, 최적 pH는 3.0이었다. 따라서 이 효소는 전형적인 산성 pro-tease로 판정되었다. 본 효소는 60$^{\circ}$C이상의 온도에서 대부분 실활 되었고, 최적 활성 반응 온도는 35$^{\circ}$C였다. 금속 이온의 영향을 알아본 결과, $Cu^{++}$, Z$Zn^{++}$, $Fe^{++}$가 효소의 활성을 저해하였고, 중금속 chelator인 EDTA는 반대로 효소 활성을 증가시켰다. 단백질분해효소에 특이적인저해제를 첨가하여 실험한 결과 thiol protease ingibitor인 antipain, chymostatin, leupeptin, E-64, iodoacetate등에 효과적으로 효소활성이 저해받으므로 본 효소는 acid thiol protease라 판정했다.

Acid proteinase는Aspergillus niger (acid pretense A)와 Cryphonectria parasitica (acid proteinase EapC)에서 분비하는 단백질로서 치즈를 제조할 때 이용하는 단백질이다. 본 연구에서는 Penicillium oxalicum HCLF-34로부터 acid proteinase의 부분유전자를 기존에 밝혀진 acid proteinase의 homology 정보로부터 degenerate primer를 제작하여 PCR방법을 이용하여 cloning하였다. Cloning된 유전자로부터 438 bp 염기서열을 분석하였으며, 이 염기서 열을 146개의 아미노산 정보로 변환하여 acid proteinase family와 homology를 비교한 결과 acid protease A와 71% 아미노산 서열의 homology를 나타내었고, EapC와 67%의 아미노산 서열 homology가 확인되었다.

Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding a solvent-tolerant protease from the haloalkaliphilic bacterium Geomicrobium sp. EMB2 are described. Primers designed based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified EMB2 protease helped in the amplification of a 1,505-bp open reading frame that had a coding potential of a 42.7-kDa polypeptide. The deduced EMB2 protein contained a 35.4-kDa mature protein of 311 residues, with a high proportion of acidic amino acid residues. Phylogenetic analysis placed the EMB2 gene close to a known serine protease from Bacillus clausii KSM-K16. Primary sequence analysis indicated a hydrophobic inclination of the protein; and the 3D structure modeling elucidated a relatively higher percentage of small (glycine, alanine, and valine) and borderline (serine and threonine) hydrophobic residues on its surface. The structure analysis also highlighted enrichment of acidic residues at the cost of basic residues. The study indicated that solvent and salt stabilities in Geomicrobium sp. protease may be accorded to different structural features; that is, the presence of a number of small hydrophobic amino acid residues on the surface and a higher content of acidic amino acid residues, respectively.

The strain of Aspergillus, 6368A, producing acid protease showing high activity was isolated from soil, as a result of wide research about mold group. This strain was identified as a species of Aspergillus tubingensis by the investigation of morphological characteristics. The change of the enzyme production under the various media and culture condition was also studied. The optimum pH and stability of crude acid protease are 2.5, 2.0~4.5 and the optimum temeprature and thermal inactivation waas shown $50^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}C$, respectively. From the result of the study on the effects of metal ions, it was found that $MnCl_2,\;CoCl_2,\;CuCl_2,\;SrCl_2,\;and\;NiCl_2$ slightly increased the enzyme activity, on the other hand $ZnCl_2,\;CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;SLS,\;and\;KMnO_4$ decreased it.

During the course of this trial, our team assessed the influence of protease upon the growth performance, the nutrient digestibility, and the expression of growth-related genes and amino acid transporters within the liver, muscle, and small intestines of broilers. During the first step, our team allocated 600 broilers into four dietary treatments for a period of 35 days in order to measure the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of the broilers selected. The separate treatments contained 10 replicates (15 birds per replicate). The treatments were composed of: 1) CON, basal diet; 2) T1, basal diet + 0.03% protease; 3) T2, basal diet + 0.06% protease; and 4) T3, basal diet + 0.09% protease. Next, the broiler chick sample tissue was harvested from the CON and T3 groups in order to conduct gene expression analysis following the feeding trials the broilers underwent. Our team discovered that the broilers fed protease diets possessed increased body weight and an average daily gain, but conversely, had lower feed conversion ratios when their dietary protease levels increased from 0% to 0.09% (p < 0.05). Additionally, significant linear improvements were identified among the nutrient digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, energy, and amino acids within broilers supplied with protease diets when contrasted and compared with broilers supplied with the basal diet (p < 0.05). In addition, the gene expression of the genes IGF1, IGF2, GH, and LEP in the liver, and the genes MYOD1 and MYOG in the breast muscles, was significantly increased after broilers were fed with a protease diet as compared to broilers that subsisted on a basal diet (p < 0.05). Protease supplementation also raised the expression levels within these amino acid transporters: SCL6A19, SLC7A1, SLC7A7, SLC7A2, SLC7A6, SLC7A9, and SLC15A1, located in the small intestine, when compared to the basal diet (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that protease supplementation in their diet improved the growth performance of broilers via an increase in the expression growth-related genes within broiler liver and muscle tissue. In addition, protease supplementation enhanced broiler digestibility via the upregulation of amino acid transporter expression within the small intestine.
