PARTIAL PURIFICATION and CHARACTERIZATION of ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE from the HEPATOPANCREAS of the MUSSEL Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam.

Abstract

In this study aspartate and alanine aminotransferase enzymes of Mytilrls gallopro~~incialis Lam., the mussel species specific to the Turkish coast were examined. Because it was found that aspartate aminotransferase activity in the hepatopancreas was superior to alanine aminotransferase while surveying the activities of these enzymes in . the whole body, hepatopancreas and mantle tissues; among these two enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase was partially purified from hepatopancreas and its kinetic properties were studied. Molluscs were collected daily from the Rumelikavagl coast of the Bosphonts and hepatopancreases were homogenized with 0.9% NaCl solution after dissection from the body. The fraction obtained after 35%-65% ammonium sulphate precipitation was applied to hydroxylapatite column. The elution performed by increasing molarity gradient of the phosphate buffer, pH 6.8, resulted in the recovery of the aspartate arninotransferase activity in 100 mM phosphate buffer pool. The 83 fold purified enzyme was applied to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the existence of two activity bands indicated two isoenzymes of the aspartate aminotransferase. Effect of temperature on the activity of the enzyme was examined and it was found that the enzyme exhibited maximum activities at 25 "C and 40 "C; the activity completely dissappeared at 60 "C. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was maximum at I pH 7.6, Km values for aspa$ate,and 2-oksoglutarate were 1.7 mM and 6.6~10-~ mM, Vmax for the same substrates were .I62 U/ml and 0.149 U/ml, respectively.
