The serine proteinase isolated from Thermomonospora fusca YX shows considerable thermal stability up to 80 degrees C, and progressive inactivation occurs at higher temperatures. Lyotropic salts affected the thermal stability of the enzyme at 85 degrees C, suggesting that disruption of hydrophobic interactions play an important role in the decreased thermal stability of the enzyme above 80 degrees C. Thermal stability is highly pH-dependent; above pH 6.0-6.5 there is a sharp decrease in the stability of the enzyme, reflecting increased autolysis. Although some stabilization occurs upon increasing ionic strength, Ca2+ binding does not appear to play a role in thermal stability. Denaturants, i.e. 8 M-urea, 6 M-guanidinium chloride or 1% SDS, had no significant effect on the activity of the enzyme after 24 h at 25 degrees C.

The proteinase secreted from Thermomonospora fusca YX grown on cellulose was purified by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and cation-exchange chromatography. The isolated proteinase readily hydrolysed several proteins and demonstrated activity towards casein from 35 to 95 degrees C (at pH 8.0) with maximum activity at 80 degrees C. It exhibited broad pH and ionic-strength optima centered at pH 9.0 and 0.2 M-NaCl respectively, and it retained high activity in the presence of 2% (w/v) SDS, 20 mM-dithiothreitol and 1.0 M-NaCl. The proteinase, which was fully inhibited by phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride, had an Mr of 14,500 and an isoelectric point at 9.21. A measurement of proteinase thermal stability demonstrated a T50% (15 min) of 85 degrees C at pH 4.5.
