Purification and Characterization of Proteases from Digestive Tract of Grass Shrimp (Penaeus monodon)

Abstract: Proteases in grass shrimp (Penaeus monodon) digestive tract were extracted. Four fractions, A, B, C and D, demonstrated caseinolytic activity and were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. A, C and D were trypsin-like, while B was a chymotrypsin-like protease. Optimal temperature for proteases A, B and C were 65"C, and that for D was 55°C for hydrolysis of casein. Optimal pH of proteases A and C was 8.0, and that of D was 7.0 for hydrolysis of p-toluenesulfonyl-L-arginine methyl ester. Optimal pH of proteas… Show more

“…The optimal stability temperature of the B. subtilis JM‐3 protease was much lower than the optimal activity temperature. This discrepancy might be attributed to the protective effects of the substrate at high‐activity temperature (Jiang et al. 1991).…”

“…The rate of digestion and absorption of essential amino acids during proteolysis could be determined with proper knowledge of functional activities of proteases (Eshel, Lindner, Smirnoff, Newton, & Harpaz, 1993). In recent years a number of studies have been conducted to characterize digestive enzymes of aquatic organisms, which are useful both to ascertain the maximum periods for their storage to avoid autolysis, and to develop practical applications for digestive proteases in physiology, biochemistry and food science (García-Carreñ o, 1992;Haard, 1992;Jiang, Moody, & Chen, 1991). In aquaculture, this may help the selection of feed ingredients (Lan & Pan, 1993).…”
