Differentiation of human non-salivary, non-pancreatic alpha-amylase from salivary and pancreatic alpha-amylases by use of FG5P.

Human non-salivary, non-pancreatic alpha-amylase (yHXA) is the gene product of a newly found human alpha-amylase gene expressed in yeast. Its mode of action on a fluorogenic derivative of p-nitrophenyl alpha-maltopentaoside, FG5P (FG-G-G-G-G-P), was examined at various pH values to elucidate the difference between yHXA and pancreatic or salivary alpha-amylase. The product analysis of the digests by HPLC showed that the enzyme hydrolyzed FG5P to FG3 (FG-G-G) and p-nitrophenyl alpha-maltoside (G-G-P) and to FG4(FG-G-G-G) and p-nitrophenyl alpha-glucoside (G-P), and the ratio of the two reactions changed with pH. The three enzymes differed from each other in the mode of action at pH 5.5. The molar ratio of FG4 to FG3 in the digest with yHXA was the largest. This suggested that the expression of the new gene in human can be detected by the use of FG5P as the substrate in the alpha-amylase assay.
