摘要：

A 34 kDa serine protease, designated as hirtin, with fibrinolytic activity was purified to homogeneity from the latex of Euphorbia hirta by the combination of ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The N-terminal sequence of hirtin was found to be YAVYIGLILETAA/NNE. Hirtin exhibited esterase and amidase activities along with azocaseinolytic, gelatinolytic, fibrinogenolytic and fibrinolytic activities. It preferentially hydrolyzed A alpha and alpha-chains, followed by B beta and beta, and gamma and gamma-gamma chains of fibrinogen and fibrin clot respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity was found to be pH 7.2 and 50 degrees C respectively. Enzymatic activity of hirtin was significantly inhibited by PMSF and AEBSF. It showed higher specificity for synthetic substrate p-tos-GPRNA for thrombin. The CD spectra of hirtin showed a high content of beta-sheets as compared to alpha-helix. The results indicate that hirtin is a thrombin-like serine protease and may have potential industrial and therapeutic applications. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
