The present invention relates to a novel enzyme, selenocysteine lyase. Selenocysteine lyase (Selenocysteine)
lyase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of selenocysteine + dithiothreitol → alanine + hydrogen selenide + oxidized dithiothreitol. This enzyme is the first enzyme discovered by the present inventor, and is useful in the analysis of selenocysteine and in the application of the above reactions. Although selenium compounds are generally considered to be highly toxic compounds, they are considered to be essential trace elements for humans and animals to maintain their lives. Little is still known about the mechanism of action of selenium compounds in vivo. However, it has been revealed that it is essential for living organisms and plays an important role. An epidemiological study found that there is a correlation between the concentration of selenium compounds in soil and the incidence of cancer in people living there. Most selenium compounds exist in the form of selenocysteine in living organisms. This enzyme is an enzyme that specifically acts on selenocysteine.
That is, this enzyme is an enzyme that decomposes selenocysteine into alanine and hydrogen selenide in the presence of dithiothreitol, and has an important function of converting organic selenium into inorganic selenium. By using this enzyme, it is possible to easily quantify selenocysteine, which is important in vivo. That is, selenocysteine can be quantified by quantifying hydrogen selenide or alanine generated by the action of this enzyme in the presence of dithiothreitol. Thus, the selenocysteine lyase of the present invention is useful as a reagent for quantifying selenocysteine. Furthermore, the selenocysteine lyase of the present invention can convert organic selenocysteine to inorganic hydrogen selenide. This phenomenon can be applied to regulate the concentration of selenocysteine in living organisms, and it is useful as a material for research on selenocysteine metabolism. The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme has stereospecificity. That is, only the L-type selenocysteine reacts, and the D-type does not react at all. By the way, all selenocysteine present in living organisms is L.
type, and type D does not exist. Furthermore, only the L-type alanine is produced by the enzymatic reaction, and the D-type is not produced. This enzyme has strong substrate specificity, and L-selenocysteine is the substrate, but L-cysteine, L-homocysteine, L-selenohomocysteine, L-
Cystine, DL-selenocystine, and L-selenohomocystine cannot be substrates. This enzyme is widely distributed in animals and bacteria.
For example, it exists in living tissues of rats, mice, pigs, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, monkeys, rabbits, etc. For example, in rats, the distribution within organs includes the brain, thorax, heart, pancreas, spleen, stomach, small intestine,
It is present to some extent in testicles, skeletal muscles, liver, adrenal glands, etc. Guinea pig liver is particularly active.
However, whole blood has no activity. Among bacteria, for example, it is distributed among bacteria belonging to the genus Ethscherichia, Clubsiella, Bacillus, Alcaligenes, Corynebacterium, and Pseudomonas. In particular, cultured cells of Pseudomonas alkanolyteica IFO12319 have a high activity comparable to that of pig liver homogenate. This enzyme is extracted and purified from, for example, pig liver by the following method.

[Table] Although the specimen thus obtained could not be crystallized, it was homogeneous in disk electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation analysis. The optimum pH of selenocysteine lyase is, for example, for enzymes obtained from rat and pig liver.
9.0, and the enzyme obtained from Pseudomonas alkanolyteica has a pH of 7.5, both of which have a pH of 5.0~
It is stable within the range of 10.0. The suitable temperature range for action is 20 to 50℃, and 3 at -20℃.
It is stable for 30 minutes at 50℃ for several months. This enzyme loses its activity with hydroxylamine, but its activity is restored with the addition of pyridoxal phosphate. The molecular weight measured by gel filtration method is 93.000. The titer of this enzyme is measured as follows. That is, 2-μmol DL-selenocysteine, 5μmol
Add the enzyme to mol of dithiothreitol, 0.01 μmol of pyridoxal phosphate, and 40 μmol of tricine-NaOH to make a total volume of 0.5 ml. After reacting for 20 min in nitrogen gas at 37 °C, add 3.5 ml of 5mM lead acetate (in 0.1NHCl solution) and incubate within 15 min.
Measure the absorbance at 400nm. Determined absorbance
The relationship between A400 and generated hydrogen selenide is as follows. H 2 S 1 (nmol/4.0 ml) = 339×A 400 Hydrogen selenide was generated by adding water to A 1 2 S 13 and quantified using OTNB, and the above calculation formula was created based on this. Example 10 μg of enzyme was used in the titer measurement method described above, and various concentrations of L-selenocysteine were added in place of 2 μmol of DL-selenocysteine, and the calibration curve shown in the following figure was obtained. It has now become possible to analyze the concentration of L-selenocysteine.
