RESUMO
Cells of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 were converted to stable protoplasts by the cell wall-degrading M-1 enzyme of the mutanolysin complex isolated from Streptomyces globisporus. Over 90% of total glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), and dextranglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.70) was recovered in the cytoplasmic fraction, whereas over 20% of total invertase (beta-fructofuranosidase: EC 3.2.1.26) was released during protoplast formation. ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3). chymotrypsin-like protease (EC 3.4.21.1), arginine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.6), and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) were detected in Triton X-100 extracts of the cytoplasmic membrane fraction by crossed immunoelectrophoresis in combination with enzyme-staining procedures. By these methods, NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3), aminopeptidase, and lactate dehydrogenase were detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. Aminopeptidases in the cytoplasmic fraction differed from this activity in the membrane fractions in electrophoretic mobility and substrate specificity.
