ABSTRACT Glucanotransferases that can synthesize cyclo-{→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1→} (CI4) from dextran were purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of Agreia sp. D1110 and Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum D2006. The molecular mass of both enzymes was estimated to be 86 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The glucanotransferase, named CI4-forming enzyme, from Agreia sp. exhibited the highest activity at pH 6.0 and 40 °C. The enzyme was stable on the pH range of 4.6-9.9 and up to 40 °C. On the other hand, the enzyme from M. trichothecenolyticum exhibited the highest activity at pH 5.7 and 40 °C. The enzyme was stable on the pH range of 5.0-6.9 and up to 35 °C. Both enzymes catalyzed 4 reactions, namely, intramolecular α-1,6-transglycosylation (cyclization), intermolecular α-1,6-transglycosylation, hydrolysis of CI4, and coupling reaction. Furthermore, the CI4-forming enzyme produced CI4 from α-1,6-linked glucan synthesized from starch by 6-α-glucosyltransferase. These findings will enable the production of CI4 from starch.

An endo-(1 → 6)-β-glucanase has been isolated from the culture filtrates of the filamentous fungus Acremonium persicinum and purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation followed by anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. SDS/PAGE of the purified enzyme gave a single band with an apparent molecular mass of 42.7 kDa. The enzyme is a non-glycosylated, monomeric protein with a pI of 4.9 and pH optimum of 5.0. It hydrolysed (1 → 6)-β-glucans (pustulan and lutean), initially yielding a series of (1 → 6)-β-linked oligoglucosides, consistent with endo-hydrolytic action. Final hydrolysis products from these substrates were gentiobiose and gentiotriose, with all products released as β-anomers, indicating that the enzyme acts with retention of configuration. The purified enzyme also hydrolysed Eisenia bicyclis laminarin, liberating glucose, gentiobiose, and a range of larger oligoglucosides, through the apparent hydrolysis of (1 → 6)-β- and some (1 → 3)-β-linkages in this substrate. Km values for pustulan, lutean and laminarin were 1.28, 1.38, and 1.67 mg/ml respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by N-acetylimidazole, N-bromosuccinimide, dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, Woodward's Regent K, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, KMnO4 and some metal ions, whereas D-glucono-1,5-lactone and EDTA had no effect.

ABSTRACT Streptomyces exfoliatus F3-2 produced an extracellular enzyme that converted levan, a β-2,6-linked fructan, into levanbiose. The enzyme was purified 50-fold from culture supernatant to give a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weights of this enzyme were 54,000 by SDS-PAGE and 60,000 by gel filtration, suggesting the monomeric structure of the enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 4.7. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme for levan degradation were pH 5.5 and 60°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 3.5 to 8.0 and also up to 50°C. The enzyme gave levanbiose as a major degradation product from levan in an exo-acting manner. It was also found that this enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of such fructooligosaccharides as 1-kestose, nystose, and 1-fructosylnystose by liberating fructose. Thus, this enzyme appeared to hydrolyze not only β-2,6-linkage of levan, but also β-2,1-linkage of fructooligosaccharides. From these data, the enzyme from S. exfoliatus F3-2 was identified as a novel 2,6-β-d-fructan 6-levanbiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.64 ).

Proteases have diverse applications in a wide variety of industries, such as in detergent, leather, food, pharmaceutical and silk. The extracellular cold-active protease was purified from the psychrotrophic bacteriumSerratiasp. WJ39 from a meat factory. The protease was cold-active with a molecular mass of 47.6 kDa estimated on SDS-PAGE. It showed an optimal activity at pH of 8 and was stable at pH 6 to 10, while its optimal temperature was 37°C and it was stable at 0-25°C, even remained 35% residual activity at 0°C. The protease was totally inhibited by PMSF which was telling that the purified enzyme was a serine protease. The properties like moderate thermostability, activity in a broad pH range and resistance to metal ions make this enzyme a suitable candidate for the possible use in food and leather industry.

An endoglucanase (1,4-beta-D-glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4) from the thermophilic anaerobe Clostridium thermocellum was purified to apparent homogeneity without the use of denaturants. No carbohydrate is associated with the endoglucanase. A molecular mass of 76,000 Da was determined by SDS/PAGE. The optimal pH is 7.0 and the enzyme is isoelectric at pH 5.05. The enzyme has a temperature optimum of 70 degrees C and retains approx. 50% of its activity after 48 h at 60 degrees C. Hydrolysis of CM-cellulose takes place with a rapid decrease in viscosity but a slow liberation of reducing sugars, indicating an endoglucanase type of activity. The endoglucanase shows little ability to hydrolyse highly ordered cellulose. Cellobiose inhibits whereas Mg2+ and Ca2+ stimulate the activity. The enzyme is completely inactivated by 1 mM-Hg2+ and is inhibited by a thiol-blocking reagent.

Alpha-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) was purified from the muscle and intestine of the parasitic helminth of pigs Ascaris suum. The enzymes from the two sources differed in their properties. Isoelectric focusing revealed one form of a-amylase from muscles with pl of 5.0, and two forms of amylase from intestine with pI of 4.7 and 4.5. SDS/PAGE suggested a molecular mass of 83 kDa and 73 kDa for isoenzymes of a-amylases from intestine and 59 kDa for the muscle enzyme. Alpha-Amylase from intestine showed maximum activity at pH 7.4, and the enzyme from muscle at pH 8.2. The muscle enzyme was more thermostabile than the intestinal alpha-amylase. Both the muscle and intestine amylase lost half of its activity after 15 min at 70 degrees C and 50 degrees C, respectively. The Km values were: for muscle amylase 0.22 microg/ml glycogen and 3.33 microg/ml starch, and for intestine amylase 1.77 microg/ml glycogen and 0.48 microg/ml starch. Both amylases were activated by Ca2+ and inhibited by EDTA, iodoacetic acid, p-chloromercuribenzoate and the inhibitor of a-amylase from wheat. No significant differences were found between the properties of a-amylases from parasites and from their hosts.

ABSTRACT A soil isolate, Penicillium janthinellum sw09 has been found to produce significant amounts of an extracellular pectinase subsequently characterized as exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PG). By optimizing growth conditions, P. janthinellum sw09 produced high amount of exo-PG (16.54 units/mL). The crude enzyme was purified by gel filtration chromatography and two exo-PG activity peaks (designated as PGI and PGII) were revealed. On SDS-PAGE analysis, purified PGII using DEAE-Sepharose FF column, was found to be a single band with a molecular mass of 66.2 kDa. The purified PGII exhibited maximal activity at the temperature of 45 oC and pH 5.0. The stability profiles show that PGII is more stable in the pH range of 4.0-8.0 and below 60 oC. The Km and Vmax for the enzyme was 1.74 mg/mL and 18.08 μmol/ (mL•min), respectively. Due to this enzymatic characterization, this pectinase is an attractive candidate for applications in degradation of pectin.

Summary Sepiapterin deaminase has been purified approximately 6,000-told from the larval integument of the lemon mutant of the silkworm by several column chromatographic procedures. Sepiapterin and isosepiapterin were active substrates among various pteridines tested. The molecular mass of this enzyme was estimated to be 74 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 70 kDa by gel filtration, suggesting that the native form of the enzyme is monomeric protein . All silkworm strains, to the best of our knowledge, had an activity of the enzyme and the enzyme was widely distributed in the larval tissues. Sepiapterin deaminase may have an important function on the silkworm.

Humicola grisea var. thermoidea mycelium grown on maltose as the main source of carbon produced at least two amylases. The major amylolytic component was purified to homogeneity and classified as a glucoamylase. The apparent molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 63 000 Da by SDS-PAGE and 65 000 Da by Bio-Gel P-100 filtration. The purified enzyme was a glycoprotein with 1.8% carbohydrate content and pH and temperature optima of 5.0 and 55 °C, respectively. The purified glucoamylase was thermostable at 60 °C with a half-life of 16 min at 65 °C. In the presence of starch the purified enzyme retained 75% of its thermostability at 65 °C, while the addition of maltose failed to protect the activity. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed branched substrates more efficiently than linear substrates. Starch and amylopectin were the best substrates utilized and amylose was hydrolyzed faster than maltopentaose, maltotetraose, and maltotriose. Kinetic experiments suggested that maltose and starch were hydrolyzed at the same catalytic site.Key words: glucoamylase, amylase, Humicola grisea.
