説明
The fungus Aspergillus niger var. macrosporus produces two extracellular acid proteinases, proteinases A and B.1–3 The acid proteinase B (Mr about 35 kDa) is sensitive to pepstatin, diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester (DAN) and l,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propane (EPNP) and thus belongs to the ordinary aspartic proteinase family.4 On the other hand, the proteinase A (Mr about 22 kDa) is insensitive to pepstatin and also almost insensitive to DAN and EPNP,4 and shows substrate specificity fairly different from that of pepsin-type aspartic proteinases.5,6 These results indicate that the proteinase A belongs to a different acid proteinase family. This proteinase, therefore, seems to be an interesting object to investigate its structure/function relationships. Further, the study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the aspartic or acid proteinases in general.
