Cloning, expression, and characterization of a chitinase gene from the Antarctic psychrotolerant bacterium Vibrio sp. strain Fi:7

A marine psychrotolerant bacterium from the Antarctic Ocean showing high chitinolytic activity on chitin agar at 5 degrees C was isolated. The sequencing of the 16S rRNA indicates taxonomic affiliation of the isolate Fi:7 to the genus Vibrio. By chitinase activity screening of a genomic DNA library of Vibrio sp. strain Fi:7 in Escherichia coli, three chitinolytic clones could be isolated. Sequencing revealed, for two of these clones, the same open reading frame of 2,189 nt corresponding to a protein of 79.4 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of the open reading frame showed homology of 82% to the chitinase ChiA from Vibrio harveyi. The chitinase of isolate Fi:7 contains a signal peptide of 26 amino acids. Sequence alignment with known chitinases showed that the enzyme has a chitin-binding domain and a catalytic domain typical of other bacterial chitinases. The chitinase ChiA of isolate Fi:7 was overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and purified by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Maximal enzymatic activity was observed at a temperature of 35 degrees C and pH 8. Activity of the chitinase at 5 degrees C was 40% of that observed at 35 degrees C. Among the main cations contained in seawater, i.e., Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+, the enzymatic activity of ChiA could be enhanced twofold by the addition of Ca2+.     

Purification and characterization of chitinase from Streptomyces sp. M-20

Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. M-20 and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. No exochitinase activity was found in the culture filtrate. The molecular mass of the purified chitinase was 20 kDa, estimated by a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was confirmed by activity staining with Calcofluor White M2R. Chitinase was optimally active at pH of 5.0 and at 30 degrees C. The enzyme was stable from pH 4 to 8, and up to 40 degrees C. Among the metals and inhibitors that were tested, the Hg(+), Hg(2+), and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid completely inhibited the enzyme activity. The chitinase activity was high on colloidal chitin, chitotriose, and chitooligosaccharide. The purified chitinase showed antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, and lysozyme activity against the cell wall of Botrytis cinerea.     

Purification and characterization of novel chondroitin ABC and AC lyases from Bacteroides stercoris HJ-15, a human intestinal anaerobic bacterium.

Two novel chondroitinases, chondroitin ABC lyase (EC 4.2.2.4) and chondroitin AC lyase (EC 4.2.2.5), have been purified from Bacteroides stercoris HJ-15, which was isolated from human intestinal bacteria with glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes. Chondroitin ABC lyase was purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of QAE-cellulose, CM-Sephadex C-50, hydroxyapatite and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography with a final specific activity of 45.7 micromol.min-1.mg-1. Chondroitin AC lyase was purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of QAE-cellulose, CM-Sephadex C-50, hydroxyapatite and phosphocellulose column chromatography with a final specific activity of 57.03 micromol.min-1.mg-1. Chondroitin ABC lyase is a single subunit of 116 kDa by SDS/PAGE and gel filtration. Chondroitin AC lyase is composed of two identical subunits of 84 kDa by SDS/PAGE and gel filtration. Chondroitin ABC and AC lyases showed optimal activity at pH 7.0 and 40 degrees C, and 5.7-6.0 and 45-50 degrees C, respectively. Both chondroitin lyases were potently inhibited by Cu2+, Zn2+, and p-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid. The purified Bacteroidal chondroitin ABC lyase acted to the greatest extent on chondroitin sulfate A (chondroitin 4-sulfate), to a lesser extent on chondroitin sulfate B (dermatan sulfate) and C (chondroitin 6-sulfate). The purified chondroitin AC lyase acted to the greatest extent on chondroitin sulfate A, and to a lesser extent on chondroitin C and hyaluronic acid. They did not act on heparin and heparan sulfate. These findings suggest that the biochemical properties of these purified chondroitin lyases are different from those of the previously purified chondroitin lyases.     

A potent insect chitinase inhibitor of fungal origin

A water-soluble polysaccharide was isolated from the culture filtrate of a fungal strain, Sphaeropsis sp. TNPT116-Cz, as a novel insect chitinase inhibitor. It was purified to chromatographic homogeneity by ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 16 kDa by gel filtration HPLC. Monosaccharide analysis showed that it contained glucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and a deoxysugar. This polysaccharide showed potent and specific inhibitory activity against Spodoptera litura chitinase with an IC50 value of 28 nM.     

Purification and characterization of a thermophilic and acidophilic chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2

AIM: Purification and characterization of a chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2. METHODS AND RESULTS: The chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2 was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography with 4.6% recovery. It had a molecular weight of 35 kDa and showed maximum activity towards p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, indicating a chitobiosidase activity. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 3.0 and temperature optimum of 60 degrees C. It was stable in a wide pH range from 3.0 to 11.0, retaining 61% activity at pH 3.0 and 52% activity at pH 11.0. It retained 71% activity at 30 degrees C and 45% activity at 50 degrees C, up to 24 h. The enzyme activity was not inhibited by any of the metal ions tested except Hg2+, in the presence of which only 10% activity was retained. CONCLUSIONS: The 35 kDa chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2 has an acidic pH optimum and a high temperature optimum. It is fairly stable and active, and degrades chitin efficiently, although the growth of the culture and enzyme production is slow. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This report is the first detailed study of a chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2, isolated from hot springs. The chitinase from Microbispora sp. V2 may have potential applications in the recycling of chitinous wastes, particularly due to its thermophilic and acidophilic character. Studies at molecular level may provide further insight on the chitinolytic system of Microbispora spp. with respect to the number and types of chitinases and their regulation.

Purification and properties of alpha-galactosidase from Klebsiella Sp. No. PG-2

alpha-Galactosidase has been purified from Klebsiella Sp. No. PG-2, a bacterium isolated from rat small intestine, using calcium phosphate gel, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and gel filtration technique. About 130-fold increase in specific activity was observed, the pH optimum of 6.5-7.0 characterizes the enzyme as neutral alpha-galactosidase. The optimum temperature was 37 degrees C and the energy of activation was 11,856 cal/mole. Km values obtained for raffinose, mellibose, stachyose and p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside were 20.0, 6.6 33.3 and 4.0 mM respectively. The activity was inhibited by p-CMB; iodoacetate, Ag2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and galactose. Examination of the enzyme activity indicated that the enzyme is cytosolic and is inducible in nature.     

Purification and characterization of acharan sulfate lyases, two novel heparinases, from Bacteroides stercoris HJ-15.

Two novel acharan sulfate lyases (ASL1 and ASL2: no EC number) have been purified from Bacteroides stercoris HJ-15 which was isolated from human intestinal bacteria with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degrading enzymes. These enzymes were purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of QAE-cellulose, DEAE-cellulose, carboxymethyl-Sephadex C-50, hydroxyapatite and HiTrap SP Sephadex C-25 column chromatography with the final specific activity of 50.5 and 76.7 micromol.min-1.mg-1, respectively. Both acharan sulfate lyases are single subunits of 83 kDa by SDS/PAGE and gel filtration. ASL1 showed optimal activity at pH 7.2 and 45 degrees C. ASL1 activity was inhibited by Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+, but ASL2 activity was inhibited by Cu2+, Ni2+and Pb2. Both enzymes were slightly inhibited by some agents that modify histidine and cysteine residues, but activated by reducing agents such as DL-dithiothreitol and 2-mercaptoethanol. Both purified bacteroidal acharan sulfate lyases acted to the greatest extent on acharan sulfate, and to a lesser extents on heparan sulfate and heparin. They did not act on de-O-sulfated acharan sulfate. These findings suggest that the biochemical properties of these purified acharan sulfate lyases are different from those of the previously purified heparin lyases, but these enzymes belong to heparinase II.
