| Description | Alpha-lytic protease (aLP) is an alternative specificity protease for proteomics applications. This protease cleaves after T, A, S, and V residues. It generates peptides of similar average length as trypsin.aLP was first isolated from the myxobacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes. The pro-form of aLP is Alpha-lytic protease (aLP) is an alternative specificity protease for proteomics applications. This protease cleaves after T, A, S, and V residues. It generates peptides of similar average length as trypsin.aLP was first isolated from the myxobacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes. The pro-form of aLP is 397 amino acids long. In its mature form, aLP is 198 amino acids long. Its tertiary structural core resembles those of pancreatic serine proteases.Crystal structure studies of aLP have been reported. Several studies are available on the active site and catalytic mechanism of aLP. The role of the pro-region in the activation, secretion and folding of aLP has been studied.The activity of aLP in the presence of various solution components is as follows:0.1% sodium deoxycholate: ~1.75-fold enhanced activity 1.0% sodium deoxycholate: ~60% activity0.1% SDS: ~50% activity1.0% SDS: ~40% activity1 M guanidine HCl: ~20% activity4 M guanidine HCl: ~1% activity (essentially inactivated)...

It cleavesRibonuclease T1 is an endoribonuclease, highly specific for the cleavage of RNA or deaminated RNA between guanosine 3'-phosphate residues (or inosine 3'-phosphate) and the 5'-OH residues of adjacent nucleotides with the formation of the corresponding intermediate 2', 3'-cyclic phosphates. It cleaves single-stranded RNA releasing oligonucleotides from the guanosine 3'-phosphate termini. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 11 kDa. The optimum pH is 7.5. RNase T1 is inhibited by Ag+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ at 1 X 10-3 M. The stimulatory effects of both histidine and EDTA are attributed to chelation of contaminating inhibitor cations. The enzyme assay is essentially the method of Egami et al., Prog. in Nucleic Acid Res. and Molec. Biol., III, 59 (1964) based upon the release of acid soluble oligonucleotides following the digestion of yeast RNA.Ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) from Aspergillus oryzae is used to digest denatured RNA prior to sequencing and is used for protein folding studies. ApplicationRibonuclease T1 has extensive applications in molecular cloning and DNA sequencing. Because of its specificity it has been a commonly used cleavage enzyme for the determination of structure, nearest neighbor frequencies, and RNA sequencing. The enzyme has further application in the preparation of nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic phosphates, the synthesis of oligonucleotides, and the removal of RNA from DNA preparations. The enzyme is also used as a non-mammalian source of RNase in various applications... Read More |
