Introduction
L-asparaginase (L-a) is an anti- neoplasm agent
which is widely isolated from microbial sources
with specifc physicochemical properties.
Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a leukemia only
ripens in infant [1,2]. The enzyme L-asparaginase
is used to treat ALL [3]. Seek evacuation From
asparagine, regular cells are synthesized through
synthesis [4,5]. Cancer cells still lack asparagine
synchronization, Ultimately causes defcit of
asparagine in these cells leads to the unavailability
of asparagine for synthesis of protein become
to their death [6-8]. L-asparaginases are
widely distributed and are the main origin of
L-asparaginase for the testing of Escherichia coli
and Erwinia bacteria [9,10]. L-asparaginase has
been observed in many bacterias, the purifcation
and characterization of this enzyme from bacteria
around plant roots are important because in
plants, L-a is the famous store of nitrogen and the
presence of enzyme-producing bacteria around
plant roots is higher [11,12].
Therefore, screening of samples from new and
diverse sources is required to isolate microbes
that have the ability to produce enzymes with new
properties [13,14]. The aim of this study was to
isolate bacteria from different soil sources and
fnally produce L-asparaginase from it for anti-
cancer purposes.
L
-ASPARAGINASE is an anti-neoplasm agent. This agent is classifed as an enzyme
compound. L-asparaginase is used in medicine as well as in the food industry. Microbial
strains that are producing L-Asparaginase can be found in many habitats such as soil. The aim
of this study was to fnd isolates producing L-asparaginase enzyme with high ability to inhibit
cancer cells. Bacteria of the Actinobacter family were isolated from the soil samples around
the roots of the plants in the actinomycet isolation medium. Then, the bacteria were isolated
and extracted by screening in M9 medium. Isolates were identifed using16S PCR sequencing
method. Three isolates of ASP and B and C showed the highest enzyme production, which
showed a molecular weight of 43 kDa and in terms of enzymatic activity112. 572 IU/ml, 99.706
IU/ml, 138.572 IU/ml respectively. These three isolates with sequence analysis was similar to
Streptomyces favoviridis and Streptomyces griseus and Streptomyces hypolyticus respectively.
Isolate C showed good effects in inhibiting cell MCF-7, HepG-2. There are various isolates
enzyme production power in nature and Actinobacter family has shown more ability to produce
various enzymes and metabolites and the isolates isolated in this study are used for industrial
enzyme production.
