海藻糖合成酶活性受固定化处理过程影响的研究*

在麦芽糖苷基海藻糖合成酶(MTSase)和麦芽糖苷基海藻糖水解酶(MTHase)双酶的作用下,淀粉可转化为海藻糖,但是其转化率较低。中采用多种固定化载体进行酶固定化研究,发现通过经戊二醛与壳聚糖交联后的载体与酶液作用,可吸附与海藻糖合成无关的杂酶和杂质,从而提高海藻糖合成酶的活性。通过比较固定化过程中与反应条件中多个因素的影响,得到了如下最佳作用条件：将酶液与经3％戊二醛交联18h后的滤纸作用18h,再与10％的淀粉溶液反应9h,与未经固定化作用比较,海藻糖的产率提高10倍,达到27．22g／L转化率从5．33％提升到54．43％。

Characterization of the maltooligosyl trehalose synthase from the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

We report the molecular characterization and the detailed study of the recombinant maltooligosyl trehalose synthase mechanism from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The mts gene encoding a maltooligosyl trehalose synthase was overexpressed in Escherichia coli using the T7-expression system. The purified recombinant enzyme exhibited optimum activity at 75 degrees C and pH 5 with citrate-phosphate buffer and retained 60% of residual activity after 72 h of incubation at 80 degrees C. The recombinant enzyme was active on maltooligosaccharides such as maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose and maltoheptaose. Investigation of the enzyme action on maltooligosaccharides has brought much insight into the reaction mechanism. Results obtained from thin-layer chromatography suggested a possible mechanism of action for maltooligosyl trehalose synthase: the enzyme, after converting the alpha-1,4-glucosidic linkage to an alpha-1,1-glucosidic linkage at the reducing end of maltooligosaccharide glc(n) is able to release glucose and maltooligosaccharide glc(n-1) residues. And then, the intramolecular transglycosylation and the hydrolytic reaction continue, with the maltooligosaccharide glc(n-1) until the initial maltooligosaccharide is reduced to maltose. An hypothetical mechanism of maltooligosyl trehalose synthase acting on maltooligosaccharide is proposed.

A slightly thermophilic strain, CBS-01, producing trehalose synthase (TreS), was isolated from geothermal water in this study.

Cloning, expression and identification of a new trehalose synthase gene from Thermobifida fusca genome

Trehalose is a disaccharide with two glucose mole-cules linked in an α,α-1,1-glycosidic linkage. The onlyreducing group in each of its glucose molecules has beenused up for the formation of α,α-1,1-glycosidic linkage,therefore trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide withhigh stability against the disruption caused by such factorsas temperature and extreme pH of environment [1]. Ithas been well established that many organisms will copewith external stress conditions by increasing the levelo…     

Continuous production of α,α-trehalose by immobilised fungal trehalose phosphorylase

Immobilisation of trehalose phosphorylase from Schizophyllum commune by adsorption onto anion-exchange materials stabilised the enzyme activity at 30°C by approx. 35-fold. Immobilised and free enzymes showed similar pH-dependence of activity but different inactivation behavior above 30°C. A fixed-bed enzyme reactor produced ,-trehalose at a stable substrate conversion of 80% with a productivity of 2.6 g l–1 h–1 for 72 h. Inhibition of trehalose phosphorylase by phosphate limited the productivity of a direct conversion of starch into ,-trehalose.     

Purification and Crystallization of d-Arabinose (l-Fucose) Isomerase from Aerobacter aerogenes by Polyethylene Glycol

d-Arabinose(l-fucose) isomerase (d-arabinose ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.3) was purified from the extracts of d-arabinose-grown cells of Aerobacter aerogenes, strain M-7 by the procedure of repeated fractional precipitation with polyethylene glycol 6000 and isolating the crystalline state. The crystalline enzyme was homogeneous in ultracentrifugal analysis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Sedimentation constant obtained was 15.4s and the molecular weight was estimated as being approximately 2.5 × 10⁵ by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200.

Optimum pH for isomerization of d-arabinose and of l-fucose was identical at pH 9.3, and the Michaelis constants were 51 mm for l-fucose and 160 mm for d-arabinose. Both of these activities decreased at the same rate with thermal inactivation at 45 and 50°C. All four pentitols inhibited two pentose isomerase activities competitively with same Ki values: 1.3–1.5 mm for d-arabitol, 2.2–2.7 mm for ribitol, 2.9–3.2 mm for l-arabitol, and 10–10.5 mm for xylitol. It is confirmed that the single enzyme is responsible for the isomerization of d-arabinose and l-fucose.
