The initial step of disaccharide dissimilation by Actinomyces viscosus serotype 2 strain M-100 was studied. Sucrase activity was found in the 3,000 X g particulate fraction and the 37,000 X g soluble fraction of the cells, whereas lactase activity was found almost exclusively in the 37,000 X g soluble fraction. Neither sucrase nor lactase activity was appreciable in the culture liquor. Sucrose phosphorylase, alpha-glucosidase, and polysaccharide synthesis activities were not observed in the soluble cell fraction. The sucrase was identified as invertase (EC 3.2.1.26; beta-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase). The lactase was identified as beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23; beta-D-galactoside galactohydrolase). The enzymes in the 37,000 X g soluble fraction were separable by diethylamino-ethyl-cellulose chromatography, giving one beta-galactosidase peak and one major and one minor invertase peak. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis showed different electrophoretic mobilities of the enzymes. The molecular weight of the beta-galactosidase is about 4.2 X 10(5) and that of invertase is about 8.6 X 10(4). The beta-galactosidase has a Km for lactose of about 6 mM and a pH optimum between pH 6.0 and 6.5. The major invertase component has a Km for sucrose of about 71 mM and a pH optimum between pH 5.8 and 6.3.

Brush borders were prepared from pig intestinal mucosa and the membrane proteins solubilized with either Triton X-100 or papain. Proteins, thus released, were used as antigens to raise antisera in rabbits. The immunoglobulin G fractions were isolated and shown by the double layer immunofluorescence staining technique to react only with the brush border region of the enterocyte. The antibodies obtained were used in immunoelectrophoretic studies on the brush border proteins. Eight hydrolytic activities were identified by the use of histo-chemical staining methods. These were the microsomal aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2), aspartate aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.7), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.X), lactase (EC 3.2.1.23), glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48), isomaltase (EC 3.2.1.10) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1). In addition, at least four faint immunoprecipitates were formed but none of these were identified.

High activity alkaline protease was obtained when the enzyme was immobilized on Dowex MWA-1 (mesh 20-50) with 10% glutaraldehyde in chilled phosphate buffer (M/15, PH 6.5). Activity yields of the protease and rennet were 27 and 29, respectively. The highest activities appeared at 60 degrees C, pH 10 for alkaline protease and 50 degrees C, pH 4.0 for rennet. The properties of both proteases were not essentially changed by the immobilization except that the Km values of both enzymes were increased about tenfold as a result of immobilization. Both proteases in the immobilized state were more stable than those in the free state at 60 degrees C. Other peptide hydrolases, beta-galactosidase, invertase, and glucoamylase, were successfully immobilized with high activities, but lipase, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and xanthine oxidase became inactive.

A new method is suggested for immobilizing enzymes, catalyzing the splitting of low-molecular substrates. It consists in applying the layer of the enzymic preparation with a filler and a stabilizer onto the inert carrier by the rolling-up method in the dredging box and the subsequent coating of particles with a semipermeable film. The efficiency of the mentioned method is examined in two enzymic preparations: beta-galactosidase and beta-fructofuranosidase. Its advantages are discussed, the main of which are the simplicity of technology possibilities of using the enzymes technical preparations, maximal preservation of native properties.

Jejunal and ileal segments from preterm rat fetuses were implanted under the kidney capsula of adult rats. Sucrase, lactase and acid beta-galactosidase activities were determined in the isografts at different times after implantation, and in corresponding segments developing in situ. Whereas fetal intestine contains considerable activity of acid beta-galactosidase and lactase, no sucrase activity is detectable. Similarly -- as in situ -- 4 weeks after the implantation the jejunal segment exhibited higher activity of sucrase and lactase than the ileal segment. Acid beta-galactosidase was more active in ileal than in jejunal segments -- both growing in situ as well as isografts. Experiments have thus demonstrated that the expression of the jejunoileal gradient of activity of the 3 enzymes studied does not depend on direct contact with food or gastric, pancreatic and biliary juices. This gives validity to the suggestion that the gradient may already be programmed in fetal intestinal tissue, but other factors active in situ might be responsible for its magnitude.

Activities of maltase, sucrase, lactase and acid-beta-galactosidase were studied in jejunum and ileum of term rat fetuses obtained by cesarian section. Female rats were either untreated or injected daily in the last (3rd) week of pregnancy with cortisone acetate (10 or 50 mg/100 g body weight) or L-triiodothyronine (20 or 50 microgram/100 g body weight). Two other control groups were injected with appropriate solvents. Cortisone or T3 treatment to mothers increased sucrase and maltase activity in jejunum and ileum of the offspring. Generally, higher doses of hormone were more effective. Lactase activity was increased by 25% in the jejunum by the higher dose of cortisone. Both doses of cortisone increased ileal lactase. Jejunal acid-beta-galactosidase activity was decreased in fetuses of T3-treated mothers.

Highly purfied preparations of the enzymes--yeast beta-fructofuranosidase, fungal beta-galactosidase and bacterial proteases have been isolated from crude preparations or culture liquids by adsorption on KMT microporous carboxyl cation exchanger. During desorption the enzyme activity has fully recovered and the specific activity increased 4.5-fold for beta-galactosidase and 54-fold for proteases.

Adrenalectomy performed on 14-day-old rats delayed the usual increase of sucrase and maltase activity as well as the decrease of acid beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuroindase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activity during the third postnatal week. Since these changes were only delayed, the role of the thyroid was explored. Thyroidectomy performed simultaneously with adrenalectomy on 14-day-old rats did not influence the increase in body weight and growth of the small intestine (already slowed down by adrenalectomy), but caused a further substantial delay in the maturation of the enzyme profile of the small intestine. Our results indicate that the thyroid is involved in regulation of the hydrolases studied.

The longitudinal distribution of various enzymes along the human small intestine was studied by analysis of biopsies from different parts of the small intestine, obtained from 13 patients during shunt-operation for severe obesity. Alkaline phosphatase and 3 glycolytic enzyme activities studied were rather uniformly distributed along the small intestine. Acid beta-galactosidase and hetero beta-galactosidase activities were highest in the proximal small intestine with a gradual decline throughout the intestine. The activity in the distal ileum was about half of the maximum activity. Maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, and trehalase activity had a broad maximum in the proximal and middle small intestine with a rather sharp decrease in the distal ileum. Lactase activity had a more pronounced maximum in the middle intestine with a pronounced decrease towards the proximal and distal ends. The disaccharidase activities in surgical biopsies taken 5 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz were about 10% higher than in peroral biopsies taken just at the ligament.

Maltase, sucrase, and lactase were measured at pH 4 and pH 6 in normal and intestinalized gastric mucosa. In the normal mucosa the low activities of maltase and lactase seemed to be entirely due to lysosomal enzymes with acid pH-optimum. In intestinal metaplasia, brush border maltase and sucrase, but not lactase, appeared. On the other hand, there was a significant increase in lysosomal lactase (beta-galactosidase) activity.
