Bacillus subtilis PANH765 균주가 생산하는 pretense를 황산암모늄에 의한 염석, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography, Sephacryl S 200 HR 및 Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration을 이용하여 정제하였다. DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography를 행한 결과, 흡착 단백질 부분에서 활성이 높은 분획을 얻었다. 이 분획
Pretense produced by Bacillus subtilis PANH765 was purified from culture supernatant by using ammonium sulfate fractionation DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration with Sephacryl S 200 HR and Sepharose CL-6B. DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column chromatography, separated the pretense into one fraction. This fraction was further purified using Sephacryl S 200 HR and Sepharose CL-6B gel titration. The molecular mass of pretense was estimated to be 35.0 kDa by the SDS-PAGE and gel filtration using Sepharose CL-6B. The results indicated that the purified pretense are monomeric proteins. Specific activity and purification folds of pretense were 657 U/mg and 4.35, respectively. The optimum temperature, optimum pit stable at a temperature range and pH ranges for the purified protease were 65, 7.05, 50 ∼ 75 and 6.0 ∼ 7.5, respectively. The pretense activity was decreased by the presence of PMSF and DFP, which the protease activity was increased by the presence of Na+/, K+/, Mg2+/ and NH+/ ions.
