- Аннотация: Penicillin amidase, alpha-chymotrypsin and urease have been immobilized in water-soluble nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes (N-PEC). N-PEC are formed by modified poly(N-ethyl-4-vinyl-pyridinium bromide) (polycation) and excess poly(methylacrylic acid) (polyanion). N-PEC are a new class of polymers capable, characteristically, of phase transitions solution in equilibrium precipitate induced by slight change in pH or ionic strength. Neither the chemical structure of the carrier nor the number of cross-linkages between an enzyme and a carrier change on phase transition. That gives an unique opportunity to elucidate the difference between enzymes immobilized on water-soluble and water-insoluble supports. A detailed study of the phase transition effect on thermal stability of the enzymes and protein-protein interactions has been carried out. The following effects were found. Pronounced thermal stabilization of penicillin amidase and urease may be achieved on two conditions: the enzyme is in the precipitate; (b) the enzyme is linked to the N-PEC nucleus. Then the thermal stability of N-PEC-bound penicillin amidase increases 7-fold at pH 5.7, 60 degrees C, and 300-fold at pH 3.1, 25 degrees C, compared to the native enzyme. For urease, the thermal stabilization increases 20-fold at pH 5.0, 70 degrees C. The localization of enzyme on N-PEC has been established by titration of alpha-chymotrypsin bound to a polycation or polyanion with basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. Both in solution (pH 6.1) and in N-PEC precipitate (pH 5.7), an alpha-chymotrypsin molecule bound to a polyanion is fully exposed to the solution. If the enzyme is bound to a polycation, only 20% of alpha-chymotrypsin molecules in the precipitate and 40% in solution retain their ability for protein-protein interactions. This means that a polycation-bound enzyme is localized in the hydrophobic nucleus of the complex, whereas the polyanion-bound enzyme sits on the hydrophilic shell of the complex. On pH-induced phase transition (pH decreases from 6.1 to 5.7), there occurs a stepwise decrease in penicillin amidase activity which is due to a 9.8-fold increase in the Km for 2-nitro-4-phenylacetamidobenzoic acid. Change of the catalytic activity and thermal stability of N-PEC-bound penicillin amidase is fully reversible and reproducible. Such soluble-insoluble immobilized enzymes with controllable thermal stability and activity may be used for simulating events in vivo and in biotechnology.
