    Saccharomyces cerevisiae X2180-1A synthesizes two forms of asparaginase: L-asparaginase I, an internal constitutive enzyme, and asparaginase II, an external enzyme which is secreted in response to nitrogen starvation. The two enzymes are biochemically and genetically distinct. The structural gene for asparaginase I (asp 1) is closely linked to the trp 4 gene on chromosome IV. The gene controlling the synthesis of asparaginase II is not linked to either the trp 4 or asp 1 genes. The rate of biosynthesis of asparaginase II is unaltered in yeast strains carrying the structural gene mutation for asparaginase I. Asparaginase II has been purified approximately 300-fold from crude extracts of Saccharomyces by heat and pH treatment, ethanol fractionation, ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by Sephadex G-25 chromatography, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Multiple activity peaks were obtained which, upon gas chromatographic analysis, exhibit varying mannose to protein ratios. Asparaginase I has been purified approximately 100-fold from crude extracts of Saccharomyces by protamine sulfate treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. No carbohydrate component was observed upon gas chromatographic analysis. Comparative kinetic and analytic studies show the two enzymes have little in common except their ability to hydrolyze L-asparagine to L-aspartic acid and ammonia.
