Application

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum has been used as a proteolytic enzyme in perfusate to detect its effect on tube hematocrit. It has also been used in limited proteolysis of DNA polymerase (gp43) of phage T4 (RB69 gp43).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clostripain from Clostridium histolyticum is composed of two polypeptide chains, with molecular masses of 41.7 kDa and 15.4 kDa. Clostripain has a highly restricted substrate specificity for Arg-Xaa peptide bonds. Therefore, clostripain has been explored as a potential enzyme for protein sequencing purposes. It has also been studied as a catalyst for condensation of pharmaceutically important peptides containing Arg-Pro bonds.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Analysis Note

The enzyme must be activated for 2-3 hours before use by dissolving in 2.5 mM dithiothreitol containing 1.0 mM calcium acetate.
Purified, essentially salt-free

Other Notes

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of BAEE per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C in the presence of 2.5 mM DTT.

Clostripain-specific antibodies were used to analyse the maturation of clostripain prepro-enzyme and core protein heterologously synthesized in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Core protein purified from E. coli cells harbouring plasmid pHM3-23 underwent calcium-dependent, self-triggered maturation. Concomitantly, the inactive form

Neurotrauma, as in the case of traumatic brain injury, promotes protease over-activation characterized by the select fragmentation of brain proteins. The resulting polypeptides are indicators of biochemical processes, which can be used to study post-injury dynamics and may also be

Acid-precipitated rabbit 'whole casein' was digested by trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and clostripain to screen for possible peptides with antibacterial properties. The peptide fragments were separated by reversed-phase chromatography. The collected fractions were pooled and their antibacterial properties tested against Escherichia

In this study, the clostripain gene was modified and its signal sequence was replaced with that of penicillin G acylase (PGA). The core clostripain protein fused to the PGA signal peptide was also prepared. With regard to the expression of
