The supernatant above hatched sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) blastulae contains crude hatching protease, which is heterogeneous in molecular weight, solubility, charge, and density. It requires urea treatment (6m, 22 °C, 6 h) to dissociate from the enzyme the heterogeneous population of fragments it has generated in digesting its substrate, the fertilization envelope. It can then be purified 340-fold by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, ammonium sulfate, and Sephadex G-100. The resulting preparation, homogeneous by the criteria of gel exclusion chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, and thermal inactivation, has the following properties: specific activity = 1.44 U mg−1(1.44 μmol min−1mg−1);kcat= 0.72 s-1; molecular weight = 29,000; energy of activation = 12.9 kcal mol−1on dimethylated casein;Km= 0.93mgml−1dimethylated casein. The pure enzyme is optimally active at pH 7 to 9, 0.5mNaCl, 10 mmCa2+, and 42 °C. Purification renders the enzyme less stable to freezing and thawing and increases the rate of its thermal inactivation at 37 °C by 100-fold.
