Previous issue date: 2006-11-30 / Two b-N-acetylhexosaminidases (F11 e F15) were purified from Echinometra lucunter gonads extracts. The purified enzymes were obtained using ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by gel filtration chromatographies (Sephacryl S-200, Sephadex G-75 and Sephacryl S-200). The F11 fraction was purified 192.47 -fold with a 28.5% yield, and F15 fraction 85.41 -fold with a 32.3% yield. The molecular weights of the fractions were 116 kDa for F11 and 42 kDa for F15 using SDS-PAGE. In Sephacryl S-200, F15 was 84 kDa, indicating that it is a dimeric protein. When p-nitrophenyl-?-D-glycosaminide was used as substrate, we determined an apparent Km of 0.257 mM and Vmax of 0.704 for F11 and for F15 the Km was 0.235 mM and Vmax of 0.9 mM of product liberated by hour. Both enzymes have optimum pH and temperature respectively at 5.0 and 45 ?C. The enzymes showed inhibition by silver nitrate, while the glucuronic acid was a potent activator. The high inhibition of F15 by N-etylmaleimide indicates that sulphydril groups are involved in the catalysis of synthetic substrate / Neste trabalho foram purificadas e caracterizadas parcialmente duas N-acetil-b- hexosaminidases (F11 e F15) extra?das de g?nadas do equinoderma marinho Echinometra lucunter. As enzimas foram purificadas com protocolo seq?encial por precipita??o com sulfato de am?nio e cromatografias de exclus?o molecular (Sephacryl S-200, Sephadex G-75 e Sephacryl S-200). A fra??o F11 foi purificada 192,47 vezes com recupera??o de 28,5% e F15 85,41 vezes com recupera??o de 32,3%. Suas massas moleculares, determinadas por eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida com SDS, foram respectivamente 116 e 42 kDa. Em Sephacryl S-200 F15 apresentou massa molecular de 84 KDa, sugerindo que esta enzima possui forma dim?rica. Utilizando-se p-nitrofenil N-acetil-b-glicosamin?deo como substrato obtivemos Km aparente de 0,257 mM e Vmax de 0,704 unidades de absorb?ncia a 405 nm / h para a fra??o 11, e 0,235 mM e Vmax de 0,9 unidades de absorb?ncia a 405 nm / h para F15. Ambas fra??es apresentaram pH e a temperatura ?tima de cat?lise 5,0 e 45 ?C, respectivamente. A atividade N-acetil-b-glicosaminid?sica foi potencialmente inibida por prata, iodoacetamida, N-etilmaleimida e PMSF. A forte inibi??o de F15 por N-etilmaleimida indica o envolvimento de radicais sulfidrila na hidr?lise do substrato sint?tico, caracterizando tamb?m ser uma enzima altamente sensitiva a este sal
