摘要
A peptide, with a molecular weight of 9 K and an N-terminal sequence identical to that of ubiquitin, was isolated from fresh fruiting bodies of the yellow mushroom Cantharellus cibarius. The peptide manifested ribonucleolytic activity toward poly A, poly C, poly G, and poly U, with the activity toward the first two polyhomoribonucleotides being higher. Maximal activity toward yeast tRNA was observed at a temperature of 70degreesC and a pH of 7. The peptide was adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose, CM-Sepharose, and Q-Sepharose. The yield of the peptide was 7 mg from 1.8 kg mushroom. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
