The hydrolytic activity of lysozyme towards 4-methylumbelliferyl tetra-N-acetyl-β-chitotetraoside (4-MU-(GlcNAc)4) was little affected by ionic strength, though the activity of lysozyme towards cell suspension of Micrococcus lysodeikticus varied markedly with ionic strength. About 40-60% of lysozyme activity with 4-MU-(GlcNAc)4 as a substrate was inhibited by 0.1mM N, N', N"-triacetylchitotriose ((GlcNAc)3), but the lytic activity of lysozyme towards M. lysodeikticus was little affected. The kinetics of hydrolysis of 4-MU-(GlcNAc)4 by hen egg-white (HEW) lysozyme and human placental (HP) lysozyme and the inhibition of this hydrolysis by (GlcNAc)3 were investigated. The K5 values for 4-MU-(GlcNAc)4 of HEW-and HP-lysozymes were 19.7 and 27.9μM, respectively, and the Vmax values were 0.124 and 0.0833 nmol/min/mg, respectively. The k values of both enzymes were very low, implying a poor orientation of the scissile bond in the substrate molecule with respect to the active site of lysozyme. (GlcNAc)3 inhibited lysozyme with hyperbolic mixed-type inhibition. The inhibition reduced the Vmax values of both lysozymes. The K5 value of HEW-lysozyme was increased by the addition of the inhibitor, whereas the K5 value of HP-lysozyme was decreased. The Ki value was 29.6μM for HEW-lysozyme and 106μM for HP-lysozyme.
溶菌酶对4-甲基伞形酮四-N-乙酰-β-壳四糖(4-MU-(GlcNAc)4)的水解活性受离子强度的影响很小,尽管溶菌酶对微球菌悬浮液的水解活性随离子强度的变化而有显著差异。0.1mM的N, N', N"-三乙酰壳三糖((GlcNAc)3)抑制了溶菌酶对4-MU-(GlcNAc)4作为底物的40-60%活性,但溶菌酶对微球菌的溶解活性影响不大。研究了鸡蛋清(HEW)溶菌酶和人胎盘(HP)溶菌酶对4-MU-(GlcNAc)4的水解动力学以及(GlcNAc)3对此水解的抑制作用。HEW溶菌酶和HP溶菌酶对4-MU-(GlcNAc)4的K5值分别为19.7μM和27.9μM,而Vmax值分别为0.124和0.0833 nmol/min/mg。两种酶的k值都很低,暗示底物分子中的切割键相对于溶菌酶活性位点的取向不佳。(GlcNAc)3以双曲线混合型抑制作用抑制溶菌酶。抑制作用降低了两种溶菌酶的Vmax值。加入抑制剂后,HEW溶菌酶的K5值增加,而HP溶菌酶的K5值降低。HEW溶菌酶和HP溶菌酶的Ki值分别为29.6μM和106μM。
