The characterization of n-butanol-pseudosolubilized and trypsin-solubilized porcine thyroid iodide peroxidase.
Porcine thyroid peroxidase (Iodide: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.8) was solubilized by proteolytic and non-proteolytic procedures. A kinetic and physical study was undertaken to ascertain the catalytic properties of the peroxidase prepared by the two purported solubilization procedures. Where possible, the properties of the two enzyme preparations were compared with the original microsomal preparation. The n-butanol-solubilized thyroid iodide peroxidase is not truly soluble, but exists as a large molecular weight lipoprotein aggregate. The trypsin-solubilized thyroid iodide peroxidase is truly soluble, active, and contains lipids. The microsomes, butanol-pseudosolubilized enzyme, and trypsin-solubilized enzyme have similar kinetic properties such as pH optima, Km for iodide and H2O2, sigmoid character of the saturation curves, substrate inhibition, and inhibition by 3,5-diiodotyrosine. Since the proteolytic solubilization procedure produced a soluble peroxidase with catalytic properties similar to the microsomal preparation, trypsin-solubilized peroxidase can be studied with reasonable assurance that its properties are essentially unaltered and are not artifacts of the solubilization procedure.
