Distribuição intracelular de enzimas digestivas e caracterização das beta-glucosidases intestinais de Abracris flavolineata / Intracellular distribution of digestive enzymes and characterization of the digestive beta-glucosidases from Abracris flavolineata

Sandro Roberto Marana 29 August 1994 (has links)
Nas células do ceco anterior de A.flavolineata, a secreção de enzimas digestivas parece ser mediada por vesículas de secreção e é influenciada pelo tempo decorrido após a refeição. Fracionamentos subcelulares das células do ceco anterior realizados 3h após a refeição indicaram que a amilase, maltase, pNΦβglu hidrolase e aminopeptidase estão enriquecidas nas frações que contém os grânulos de secreção. γ glutamil transferase, aminopeptidase e dipeptidase apresentaram uma forma solúvel e outra ligada a membrana. No conteúdo do intestino de A. flavolineata foi possível detectar a presença de 3 β-glucosidases: 1, uma celobiase-aril β-glucosidase termoestável; 2, uma aril β-glucosidase termoinstável ativa sobre pNΦβglu; 3, uma alquil β-glucosidase. A celobiase-aril β-glucosidase hidrolisa celobiose e aril β-glucosídeos em sítios diferentes e é mais ativa sobre celobiose e laminaribiose que sobre aril β-glucosídeos sintéticos ou naturais. Moléculas anfipáticas ativam a alquil β-glucosidase, tornando esta enzima efetivamente ativa apenas na digestão de membranas. Esta enzima hidrolisa alquil β-glucosídeos com 6 a 11 carbonos no radical alquil. A celobiase-aril P-glucosidase e a alquil β-glucosidase são provavelmente responsáveis pela digestão \"in vivo\" de β-1,4; β-1,3; β-1,3-1,4 glucanas e glucosilceramidas, respectivamente. / The secretion of digestive enzymes in the anterior caecal cells of A. flavolineata seems to be mediated by secretory vesicles and influenced by the period of time after a meal. Subcellular fractions of anterior caecal cells were obtained by differential centrifugation of homogenates prepared 3 hours after a meal. Amylase, maltase, pNΦβglu hidrolase and aminopeptidase are found with high activities in fractions that correspond to the contents of secretory vesicles. γ glutamil transferase, aminopeptidase and dipeptidase presented soluble and membrane-bound forms. In A. flavolineata midgut contents we found 3 β-glucosidases: 1, a heat-stable cellobiase-aryl β-glucosidase; 2, a heat-unstable activity against pNΦ β glu (aryl β-glucosidase); 3, a alkyl β-glucosidase. The cellobiase-aryl β-glucosidase hydrolyzes cellobiose and aryl β-glucosides at different active sites and is more active on cellobiose and laminaribiose than on aryl β-glucosides. Amphipatic molecules activate the alkyl β-glucosidase, making the enzyme very active only during membrane digestion. This enzyme hydrolyzes alkyl β-glucosides with 6 to 11 carbons in alkyl moiety. The cellobiase-aryl β-glucosidase and alkyl β-glucosidase are probably responsible for in vivo digestion of β-1,4; β-1,3; β-1,3-1,4 glucans and glucosylceramides, respectively.
