摘要: Abstract Calpain II ( EC 3.4.22.17), a calcium-dependent neutral protease, was purified approximately 7000-fold from the soluble fraction of rat lens. The estimated molecular weight lens calpain 120 000, and enzyme composed 80 000 28 MW subunits. required 400 μ m calcium, reducing agent, pH = 7·5 for maximal activity. could not be activated by magnesium, inhibited leupeptin iodoacetate, but phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Purified degraded α-, β H -, L -crystallins, insoluble proteins, intrinsic membrane proteins. γ-Crystallin degraded. proteolysis caused similar to occurring during formation several experimental cataracts in rodents; this suggested that may play role cataract formation.
