L-alpha-aminocaprolactam hydrolase possessing the L lysine amidase activity was isolated from Klebsiella aerogenes and purified. The procedure of enzymes purification included cell destruction on USDN-I, fractionation by ammonium sulfate, gel chromatography on G-200. The preparation of the purified enzyme possessed specific activity of 50 mumol of lysin per 1 mg of protein per hour. Km was 2.6 mM in case of phosphate buffer (ph 7.2) for I-alpha-aminocaprolactam. Besides L-alpha-aminocaprolactam the enzyme hydrolyses lysine amide, leucine amide tryptophanamide. Magnesium ions are necessary for manifestation of catalytic activity of the enzyme. |
