GENERAL STABILITY
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
Anionic protease, a component which frequently contaminates preparations of routinely isolated cationic protease, stabilizes thermitase
-
Autolysis and thereby inactivation at elevated temperature, at alkaline pH-values and in the absence of added substrate
-
Ca2+ stabilizes against both autolysis and thermal denaturation
-
Irreversible inhibition by chloromethyl ketones causes marked stabilization against thermal denaturation, reversible inhibitors have no influence on stability
-
The stability is significantly improved by 1 M acetate and chloride
-
Unusually tight binding of Ca by thermitase emerges as the most likely single influence responsible for its increased thermostability
