Trypsin was purified to homogeneity from hepatopancreas of freshwater prawn (HFWP) (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) using a series of chromatographies including Q-Sepharose, Superdex 75 and MonoQ columns. HFWP trypsin was purified 525-fold with a yield of 10.6%. Based on native-PAGE, the purified trypsin showed a single band. Trypsin had a molecular weight of 17 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH and temperature for Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-MCA hydrolysis were 8.0 and 55 degrees C, respectively. Trypsin was stable to heat treatment up to 40 degrees C, and over a pH range of 7.0-11.0. Trypsin activity was strongly inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor, N-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) and Pefabloc SC and was partially inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Apparent K-m value of trypsin was 0.24 mu M and K-cat value was 607.56 s(-1) for Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-MCA. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of 20 residues of HFWP trypsin was IVGGDEAAPGEFPHQISMQV, which was highly homologous with those from other species of prawn. HFWP trypsin also showed high collagenolytic activity toward prawn, shrimp and fish collagens, suggesting its possible role in muscle softening of freshwater prawn during extended storage.
