A neutral metalloprotease was purified from the cultured mycelia of Laccocephalum mylittae, an effective medicinal fungus widely used in anthelmintic therapy The protease was purified to homogeneity with 31.85-fold purification and a final yield of 21.76% The subunit molecular weight of the protease is about 40000 estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The optimum reaction pH and temperature are 7 5 and 50 degrees C, respectively The protease activity is largely enhanced by Ca2+, but highly inhibited by tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), a metal-chelator, suggesting that the enzyme is a metalloprotease The Michaelis-Menten constan K-m and V-max for casein substrate are 6.09 mg ml(-1) and 21.32 mu g min(-1) ml(-1), respectively In vitro anthelmintic tests of the protease exhibit distinct lethal effects on the third stage larvae (L3) of Ascaris suum Scanning electron microscopy and SDS-PAGE analysis indicates that the proteolysis of larvae proteins caused by this protease may relate to the anthelmintic activity of L. mylittae
