Fecha de publicación: | 2001 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 130(2): 199-206 (2001) | Resumen: | Several pathogenic protozoan release proteases are necessary for host invasion and initiation of infection. We have identified proteolytic activities in extracellular proteins secreted by the clam parasite Pseudoperkinsus tapetis ŽMesomycetozoa.in vitro. The protein concentration of the P. tapetis extracellular productsŽECP.increased only during the first week of culture. The appearance of new proteins of 10 and 157 kDa at the second week sample and of 12 kDa at the third week sample was shown by SDS-PAGE. The protease activity rapidly increased in the first 3 weeks of culture, and five clear bands of 23, 29, 60, 67 and 96 kDa with proteolytic activity were detected in the ECP on gelatin SDS-PAGE. Using inhibitors, the proteases were identified as members of the Ca2 dependent, serine protease family. Their optimum pH was higher than pH 9.4. The protease activity of the P. tapetis ECP was different than that described for Perkinsus marinus, an oyster pathogen very similar morphologically to the clam parasite and member of the genus in which P. tapetis had been initially included. | Descripción: | 8 páginas, 3 tablas, 2 figuras | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1096-4959(01)00423-7 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/56683 | DOI: | 10.1016/S1096-4959(01)00423-7 | ISSN: | 0305-0491 |
