Abstract

The degradative enzyme N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐hexosaminidase (Hex) (E.C. 3.2.1.30) has been isolated from livers and tail fins of the amphibian R. catesbeiana. Two amphibian hexosaminidases have been resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and quantitated by assay of the separated forms. The electrophoretic mobilities of the hexosaminidases were the same whether isolated from liver or tail tissue. The ratio of hexosaminidase enzymes is constant and independent of developmental stage, tissue source, or method of preparation. It has been concluded that tail resorption and increases in Hex activity are not initiated by changes in the ratio of enzymes and that the net affect of any changes in protein synthesis and degradation must leave the ratio of forms unaltered.

K,-cells from Drosophila melanogaster, grown under serum-free conditions, produce two p-hexosaminidases and secrete these enzymes into the medium. The two enzymes were separated by DEAE-exchange chromatography. According to their substrate specificities one enzyme is a f3-N-acetyl-D-glucosarninidase

The formation of N-acetyl-b-D-hexosaminidase is under carbon catabolite repression in growing Penicillium chrysogenum. The enzyme accumulates inside the cells during the stationary phase of growth and is released into the culture fluid when the cell-wall lysis has started and progressed. The time-co
