The neutral trehalase of a commercial baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) strain has been partially purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography techniques. Trehalase was precipitated between 35-50% ammonium sulfate saturation and approximately 5-8 fold purification was achieved. The yeast cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also precipitated in the same fraction and these two proteins were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Trehalase became totally inactive after ion exchange chromatography, "cryptic trehalase" (tre-c), but was later activated with the addition of partially purified protein kinase together with cAMP and ATP. A 215 fold purification was obtained after DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. One mM EDTA caused complete inhibition of the enzyme in crude extract, however the inhibition levels in ammonium sulfate and DEAE-cellulose fractions were 73.5% and 50%, respectively. Optimal pH range and temperature of the enzyme were determined as pH 6-6.8 and 30C, respectively. The kinetic parameters, K-m and V-max, were estimated as 11.78 mM trehalose and 12.47 mu mole glucose/min-mg protein, respectively.

The effect of crosslinking on thermal inactivation of cellulases Bilen, J; Bakir, U (1998-04-22) Cellulase complex was crosslinked by using three different crosslinkers, dimethyl suberimidate (DMS), dimethyl adipimidate (DMA) and dimethyl-3-3'-dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP) and their effects on thermal inactivation were investigated. These reagents are all homobifunctional bisimidoesters having different crosslinking distances and crosslink only amino groups to each other. No significant activity loss was observed due to crosslinking with none of the crosslinkers used. In general, DMA and DTBP crosslin...
Application of the Ugi reaction with multiple amino acid-derived components: synthesis and conformational evaluation of piperazine-based minimalist peptidomimetics. Stucchi, Mattia; Cairati, Silvia; Atalay, Rengül; Christodoulou, Michael S.; Grazioso, Giovanni; Pescitelli, Gennaro; Silvani, Alessandra; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Lesma, Giordano (2015-05-07) The concurrent employment of alpha-amino acid-derived chiral components such as aldehydes and alpha-iso-cyanoacetates, in a sequential Ugi reaction/cyclization two-step strategy, opens the door to the synthesis of three structurally distinct piperazine-based scaffolds, characterized by the presence of L-Ala and/or L-Phe-derived side chains and bearing appropriate functionalities to be easily applied in peptide chemistry. By means of computational studies, these scaffolds have been demonstrated to act as min...
Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data Özarar, Mert; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...
Proteomics of phanerochaete chrysosporium under heavy metal stress Yıldırım, Volkan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2014) In this study, time-dependent heavy metal response of the white rot fungus P. chrysosporium was analyzed by using 2D-PAGE-MS for soluble cytosolic fraction and GeLC-MS approach for membrane enriched fraction. After the 2D-PAGE-MS analysis, a total of 123 protein spots were detected as differentially expressed for Cu-exposed samples and 89 of them were identifed. Further analysis revealed that the 89 protein spots are the products of the 58 distinct ORFs. Overall, strongly up-regulated proteins included (i) ...
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF POLYVINYL-CHLORIDE) EMULSION POLYMERIZATION - EFFECT OF INITIATOR AND EMULSIFIER CONCENTRATIONS ON POLYMERIZATION KINETICS AND PRODUCT PARTICLE-SIZE Karakaş, Gürkan (Wiley, 1989-01-01) Effects of concentration changes in initiator species Na2SO3, (NH4)2S2O8 and CuSO4, and emulsifier, ammonium stearate, on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) emulsion polymerization kinetics and on product particle size were experimentally investigated. It was observed that to obtain industrially significant rates and overall conversions, not only an optimum concentration ratio of Na2SO3/(NH4)2S2O8/CuSO 4 must be used, but also the concentrations of these species must be above certain limits. Increasing the concentr...
