Property of arylsulfatase and β-glucuronidase extracted from digestive tracts of Cipangopaludina chinensis and their cleavage performance on conjugated natural estrogens
Arylsulfatase and β-glucuronidase are the two substantial enzymes having a significant role in the cleavage of conjugated natural estrogens (C-NEs). The present study reports that arylsulfatase and β-glucuronidase have been abundantly found in the digestive tracts of Cipangopaludina chinensis ; in which, their corresponding activities were 60 and 5 U/g wet waste, respectively. The arylsulfatase from Cipangopaludina chinensi s could show high activity at low temperatures. Hence, its activity still remained at 53.2% of maximal activity even at an extremely low temperature of 4 ℃; while the corresponding activities of arylsulfatase from Helix pomatia or activated sludge were less than 20% and 10%, respectively. The arylsulfatase and β-glucuronidase from Cipangopaludina chinensis could efficiently cleave C-NEs suggesting that they could be alternative enzymes derived from Helix pomatia that are used for cleavage of conjugated compounds in environmental or biological sample analysis. Meanwhile, they might also be used to enhance the cleavage of C-NEs in municipal wastewater.
