1. The thermally induced change in conformation of ribonuclease A in solution was investigated by differential thermal analysis and the susceptibility of the enzyme to proteolytic digestion by ficin. 2. A transition with a mid-point of 60.5 degrees C at pH4.2 was observed directly by differential thermal analysis and shown to be a property of the native structure. 3. At pH4.2 ribonuclease A is susceptible to ficin digestion at 60 degrees C but not at 18 degrees C. 4. Chromatographic analysis of the digestion products reveals that transient active intermediates are produced during the digestion. 5. Three of these intermediates were purified and partially characterized. 6. The nature of those sections of the ribonuclease molecule that are involved in the thermal transition is discussed.

Lambda coli phage is not inactivated by chymotrypsin, trypsin, or ficin. T(2) phage is slowly inactivated by high concentrations of (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, or Delta-chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin or ficin. P(1) phage is slowly inactivated by alpha-, beta-, or gamma-chymotrypsin, or ficin, more rapidly by Delta-chymotrypsin, and much more rapidly by trypsin. Crystalline egg albumin, crystalline serum albumin, E. coli nucleoprotein, and yeast nucleoprotein are hydrolyzed slowly by alpha-chymotrypsin. Yeast nucleoprotein, like P(1) phage, is hydrolyzed more rapidly by Delta-chymotrypsin than by alpha-chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin or ficin. Neither phages nor native proteins were attacked by papain, carboxypeptidase, deoxyribonuclease, or ribonuclease.

PMID:THE EFFECT OF PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES ON E. COLI PHAGES AND ON NATIVE PROTEINS. 1421 51

The effects of a number of crystalline and highly purified enzymes on elementary bodies of vaccinia are reported. These effects have been followed by determination of amino nitrogen, staining reaction, and studies of infectivity. Pepsin, at a pH which inactivates the virus, results in its solution and rapid release of amino nitrogen. Crystalline trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, and ribonuclease are without appreciable effect on the virus. Papain within a short time produces profound alteration in the staining reaction of the elementary body with release of amino nitrogen accompanied by complete inactivation of the virus. This reaction is not shared by crystalline ficin, another plant papain, or by cathepsin, an intracellular proteinase analogous to plant papains but of animal origin.
