Abstract:
:Constitutive beta-glucosidases from Saccharomyces fragilis (Y-18) and S. dobzhanskii (Y-19) precipitated at the same concentration of ammonium sulfate. The partially purified enzymes had similar activation energies, molecular weights, affinities for certain natural and synthetic beta-glucosides, and optimal pH values for substrate hydrolysis, and they were stable over approximately the same pH range. The enzymes, however, could be clearly distinguished by other criteria. Affinities of the synthetic, sulfur-containing beta-glucosides for Y-18 enzyme were many times greater than for Y-19 enzyme. The latter enzyme was more resistant to heat. The two enzymes eluted from diethylaminoethyl cellulose at different concentrations of sodium chloride. In precipitin tests, homologous enzyme-antisera systems were highly specific. The beta-glucosidase synthesized by a hybrid, S. fragilis x S. dobzhanskii (Y-42), was unique. Characterization of this enzyme produced values which were intermediate to those for the enzymes from the parental yeast strains. Heat-inactivation slopes and Lineweaver-Burk plots for the Y-42 enzyme were anomalous. It is suggested that hydrolytic activity in Y-42 preparations is due to a spectrum of hybrid enzyme molecules composed of varying amounts of two distinct polypeptides. It is further suggested that these polypeptides may be identical to those synthesized by the parental Y-18 and Y-19 yeast strains.
