Item Purificação e caracterização de uma fosfolipase A2 do veneno amarelo de serpentes Crotalus durissus collilinetaus(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2009-06-29) SANTANA, Pedro Henrique Camargo; ULHOA, Cirano Jose; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8368469162867277In Brazil, the snake Crotalus durissus collilineatus is much studied, particularly its component crotoxina. The crotoxina is the most toxic component of venom from the species cascavéis amicanas Crotalus durissus. It is composed of two different subunits, the crotapotina (acid component) and a phospholipase A2 (basic component). The enzyme phospholipase A2 is the most studied of these poisons, being largely responsible for its toxicity. Its main effects are neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, cytotoxicity, platelet aggregation, anti-coagulant and bactericide. This study aims to purify and characterize a new phospholipase A2 isolated from Crotalus durissus collilineatus, and uses it as a model for studies of compounds with potential antinflamatório. Samples (5mg) of crude venom of Crotalus durissus collilineatus were applied on a C18 column coupled to a system semipreparativa HPLC. 20 peaks were obtained for proteins / peptides, and the increased activity of fofolipase (PLA) was detected in fraction 14. This fraction was subjected to a new phase chromatography on C18 analytical column, resulting in the isolation of a new PLA. By electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE the enzyme showed high degree of purity, with molecular mass around 13 kDa. The PLA2 activity showed optimal at pH of 8.2 and at temperatures between 35-40 º C and remains stable up to temperatures of 60 º C. According to our experiments isolated PLA was inhibited Ca2 +, and activity was not changed by Cu2 +. Manaca extract, ellagic acid and quercetin strongly inhibited the PLA, showing that this enzyme has potential for the selection of compounds with potential antiinflammatory.Item Produção e caracterização bioquímica de uma fosfatase ácida de Trichoderma harzianum (ALL42)(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-06-29) SOUZA, Amanda Araujo; FREITAS, Sonia Maria de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8369464483722617; ULHOA, Cirano Jose; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8368469162867277Trichoderma harzianum is a saprophytic fungus, known for its potential as a biological control agent of different phytopathogens that causes losses in crops. Its action is based on different mechanisms like volatile and non-volatile antibiotics production, competition for nutrient and space, production of hydrolytic enzymes and mycoparasitism. This fungus also plays an important role in the release of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus from insoluble macromolecules to the medium, favoring the growth of plants. Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient for plant growth, however, over 80% of the phosphorus applied to the soil, it becomes unavailable, due to its adsorption, precipitation or conversion to organic form. One way to obtain phosphate compounds in soil is through the action of enzymes called phosphatases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphate esters producing soluble phosphorus. High levels of acid phosphatase (ACP) were produced by Trichoderma harzianum ALL42. This study evaluated the ability of T. harzianumALL42produce acid phosphatases(ACPs) in minimal medium modified by varying the concentration of glucose and phosphate (KH2PO4). The results showed that the concentration of glucose and phosphate in the culture medium regulated the production of ACPs T. harzianum ALL42. Thisfungusproducedanacid phosphatase(ACPII) inculture mediumcontainingglucose0.5% and0.04% phosphate. Theenzymewaspartiallypurifiedby hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose. A typical procedure provided 2,0 fold purification with 32.65 % yield. It was optimally active in the pH range 5,2 and at 50°C. The enzyme was heat-stable, retaining approximately 60% of its activity after heating for 60 min at 60°C. Kinetic parameters calculated for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate by acid phosphatase were Km= 0,054 M and Vmax= 2,058 units.min-1. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by KH2PO4, FeCl3 and sodium tungstate. The enzyme is inhibited by KH2PO4 and sodium tungstate through mixed inhibition. The acid phosphatase hydrolyzed a number of phosphate esters ATP, ADP, AMP, D-glucose-1-phosphate, D-fructose-6-phosphate, includingphytic acid, showinganactivityofphytase.
