✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Acidic alpha‐D‐mannosidase purified from the hepatopancreas of Penaeus monodon is pentameric, with a Mr 251,000 as estimated by size‐exclusion FPLC on a Superose^TM^ 12, and retains a hydrophobic domain, being stable to heating at 65°C for 1 h. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 1,923 units/mg of protein. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, the purified acidic alpha‐D‐mannosidase from shrimp was found to consist of a single homogeneous type of monomer of Mr 51,000. The purified enzyme has an isoelectric point of 4.4 ± 0.1 and becomes more alkaline after the removal of either sialic acid or phosphate groups. The apparent K~m~ value of alpha‐D‐mannosidase from shrimp hepatopancreas with 4‐methylumbelliferylalpha‐D‐mannopyranoside as substrate is 243 μM. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
