피브린 Zymographic Gel에서 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens G-13으로부터 혈전용해효소의 생성에 영향을 미치는 물리화학적 요인들의 비교

Abstract

Our previous research demonstrated the characteristics and fibrinolytic activities of NaCl- and capsaicin-resistant bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens G-13, isolated from mustard leaf kimchi [1]. In this study, we extended the work to the comparison of various physicochemical factors (e.g., temperature, pH, NaCl, capsaicin, metal ions, and inhibitors) influencing the production of fibrinolytic enzyme by strain G-13. Initially, a time course of the fibrinolytic activity of strain G-13 was measured by the fibrin plate assay, and after 84 hours of incubation, the maximum fibrinolytic activity was about 3.42 times that of plasmin used as the standard. Through a fibrin zymographic assay, four bands (23, 34, 45, and 67 kDa) of fibrinolytic enzyme from strain G-13 were compared in fibrin zymographic gels. The strain could grow and produce the fibrinolytic enzyme in the presence of NaCl (1-10%) or capsaicin (0-300 ㎍/mL), respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzymatic activity were 8 and 35℃. In the study of the effects of metal ions on fibrinolytic activity, K⁺, CaSUP2+/SUP, and MgSUP2+/SUP ions increased the activity and maintained it overall, but FeSUP3+/SUP, ZnSUP2+/SUP, BaSUP2+/SUP, and HgSUP2+/SUP ions rapidly decreased the activity of the fibrinolytic enzyme. The enzyme was completely inhibited by phenylmethanesulfonyl fluroide (PMSF), suggesting that it was a serine protease. These results provide important clues for understanding the characteristics of fibrinolytic bacteria by confirming the effects of B. amyloliquefaciens G-13 on various physicochemical factors influencing the production of fibrinolytic enzymes through fibrin zymography.
