- Abstract
Pulse and pulse-chase experiments have been performed to study L-[35S] methionine incorporation and protein secretion kinetics in Aspergillus oryzae. Pulse experiments confirmed the mechanism of methionine uptake reported previously for Penicillium chrysogenum (Benko et al., 1967). Pulse-chase experiments were carried out to investigate the α-amylase secretion kinetics in A. oryzae. No unglycosylated α-amylase was detected neither intracellularly nor extracellularly demonstrating that glycosylation was not the rate controlling step in the secretory pathway. The pulse chase experiments indicated that there are two pools of intracellular α-amylase: a fast secreted and a slow secreted. The secretion of those two pools were described with a kinetic model, which was fitted to the pulse chase experiments. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 65: 7682, 1999.
