Enzymatically active subunits of Bacillus stearothermophilus enolase bound to Sepharose. 1984

F M Veronese, and O Schiavon, and E Boccù, and C A Benassi, and A Fontana

The octameric enolase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was immobilized onto Sepharose 4B activated by the cyanogen bromide reaction under conditions for achieving essentially a single-point attachment. The immobilized enzyme was dissociated with guanidine hydrochloride to yield bound monomeric enolase. The Sepharose-bound subunit regained activity upon removal of the denaturant. It was also possible to rehydribize immobilized monomers to native octamers. Of note, the thermal stability of the immobilized enolase subunit does not appreciably differ from that of the parent soluble octameric enzyme. Thus, these results indicate that single subunits of thermophilic enolase are active and that oligomerization is not a prerequisite for the enzymic activity as well as for thermal stability.
