One endopolygalacturonase from Fusarium moniliforme was purified from the culture broth of a transformed strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its kinetic parameters and mode of action were studied on galacturonic acid oligomers and homogalacturonan. The dimer was not a substrate for the enzyme. The enzyme was shown to follow Michaelis-Menten behaviour towards the other substrates tested. Affinity and maximum rate of hydrolysis increased with increasing chain length, up to the hexamer or heptamer, for which V(max) was in the same range as with homogalacturonan. The enzyme was demonstrated to have a multi-chain attack mode of action and its active site included five subsites ranging from -3 to +2. The final products of hydrolysis of homogalacturonan were the monomer and the dimer of galacturonic acid. 相似文献

Some properties of the endo-polygalacturonase from Trichosporon penicillatum were investigated. The enzyme showed the highest activity around pH 5.0 and was stable at this pH up to 50°C. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of galacturonic acid oligomers as well as its polymer. The pentamer was degraded to a trimer and a dimer, the tetramer to a trimer and a monomer, and the trimer to a dimer and a monomer, respectively, whereas the dimer was not degraded. The kinetic constant Vmax and Km values changed with the substrate chain-length; the Km values tended to decrease, whereas the Vmax values tended to increase with increasing chain-length of the substrate. The amino acid residue participating in the active site of the enzyme was studied and it was found to be histidine. 相似文献

A membrane preparation from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells contains at least one enzyme that is capable of transferring the methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to the C6 carboxyl of homogalacturonan present in the membranes. This enzyme is named homogalacturonan-methyltransferase (HGA-MT) to distinguish it from methyltransferases that catalyze methyletherification of the pectic polysaccharides rhamnogalacturonan I or rhamnogalacturonan II. A trichloroacetic acid precipitation assay was used to measure HGA-MT activity, because published procedures to recover pectic polysaccharides via ethanol or chloroform:methanol precipitation lead to high and variable background radioactivity in the product pellet. Attempts to reduce the incorporation of the 14C-methyl group from SAM into pectin by the addition of the alternative methyl donor 5-methyltetrahydrofolate were unsuccessful, supporting the role of SAM as the authentic methyl donor for HGA-MT. The pH optimum for HGA-MT in membranes was 7.8, the apparent Michaelis constant for SAM was 38 μm, and the maximum initial velocity was 0.81 pkat mg−1 protein. At least 59% of the radiolabeled product was judged to be methylesterified homogalacturonan, based on the release of radioactivity from the product after a mild base treatment and via enzymatic hydrolysis by a purified pectin methylesterase. The released radioactivity eluted with a retention time identical to that of methanol upon fractionation over an organic acid column. Cleavage of the radiolabeled product by endopolygalacturonase into fragments that migrated as small oligomers of HGA during thin-layer chromatography, and the fact that HGA-MT activity in the membranes is stimulated by uridine 5′-diphosphate galacturonic acid, a substrate for HGA synthesis, confirms that the bulk of the product recovered from tobacco membranes incubated with SAM is methylesterified HGA. 相似文献

The hemibiotrophic basidiomycete fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of Witches’ broom disease (WBD) in cacao, is able to grow on methanol as the sole carbon source. In plants, one of the main sources of methanol is the pectin present in the structure of cell walls. Pectin is composed of highly methylesterified chains of galacturonic acid. The hydrolysis between the methyl radicals and galacturonic acid in esterified pectin, mediated by a pectin methylesterase (PME), releases methanol, which may be decomposed by a methanol oxidase (MOX). The analysis of the M. pernciosa genome revealed putative mox and pme genes. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR performed with RNA from mycelia grown in the presence of methanol or pectin as the sole carbon source and with RNA from infected cacao seedlings in different stages of the progression of WBD indicate that the two genes are coregulated, suggesting that the fungus may be metabolizing the methanol released from pectin. Moreover, immunolocalization of homogalacturonan, the main pectic domain that constitutes the primary cell wall matrix, shows a reduction in the level of pectin methyl esterification in infected cacao seedlings. Although MOX has been classically classified as a peroxisomal enzyme, M. perniciosa presents an extracellular methanol oxidase. Its activity was detected in the fungus culture supernatants, and mass spectrometry analysis indicated the presence of this enzyme in the fungus secretome. Because M. pernciosa possesses all genes classically related to methanol metabolism, we propose a peroxisome-independent model for the utilization of methanol by this fungus, which begins with the extracellular oxidation of methanol derived from the demethylation of pectin and finishes in the cytosol. 相似文献

Solubilization and characterization of a galacturonosyltransferase that synthesizes the pectic polysaccharide homogalacturonan 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Polygalacturonate 4-α-galacturonosyltransferase (PGA-GalAT), the glycosyltransferase that synthesizes the plant cell wall pectic polysaccharide homogalacturonan, has previously been identified and partially characterized in tobacco membranes. Membrane bound PGA-GalAT catalyzes the transfer of galacturonic acid from UDP-galacturonic acid (UDP-GalA) onto an endogenous acceptor to produce polymeric homogalacturonan ( Doong et al. (1995) Plant Physiol. 109, 141 –152). It is shown here that a galacturonosyltransferase is solubilized from tobacco membranes with a HEPES buffer, pH 6.8, containing 40 mM CHAPS and 2 mM EDTA. The solubilized galacturonosyltransferase was identified as putative PGA-GalAT because it transfered [14C]GalA from UDP-[14C]GalA onto exogenous homogalacturonan acceptors with degrees of polymerization (DP) of ≥ 10. Maximal solubilized PGA-GalAT activity in the presence of 0.9 μM UDP-[14C]GalA required approximately 125 μM exogenous homogalacturonan acceptor [e.g. oligogalacturonide (OGA) of DP 15]. Solubilized PGA-GalAT was active over a broad pH range of 6.3–7.8, and had an apparent Km for UDP-GalA of 37 μM and a Vmax of 290 pmol min–1 mg–1 protein. Approximately 44% of the PGA-GalAT activity in detergent-dispersed membranes, corresponding to 21% of the PGA-GalAT activity in intact membranes, was solubilized. PGA-GalAT solubilized with 40 mM CHAPS was shown, by exopolygalacturonase treatment in combination with size exclusion and high performance anion exchange chromatographies, to add a single α-1,4-linked galacturonic acid residue onto an OGA exogenous acceptor of DP 15 to yield an OGA product of DP 16. The significance of the apparent lack of processivity of the solubilized PGA-GalAT is discussed. 相似文献

A new enzyme, rhamnogalacturonan (RG) α-d-galactopyranosyluronohydrolase (RG-galacturonohydrolase), able to release a galacturonic acid residue from the nonreducing end of RG chains but not from homogalacturonan, was purified from an Aspergillus aculeatus enzyme preparation. RG-galacturonohydrolase acted with inversion of anomeric configuration, initially releasing β-d-galactopyranosyluronic acid. The enzyme cleaved smaller RG substrates with the highest catalytic efficiency. A Michaelis constant of 85 μm and a maximum reaction rate of 160 units mg−1 was found toward a linear RG fragment with a degree of polymerization of 6. RG-galacturonohydrolase had a molecular mass of 66 kD, an isoelectric point of 5.12, a pH optimum of 4.0, and a temperature optimum of 50°C. The enzyme was most stable between pH 3.0 and 6.0 (for 24 h at 40°C) and up to 60°C (for 3 h). 相似文献

1. An exopolygalacturonase was separated from a mycelial extract of Aspergillus niger with a 290-fold purification and a recovery of 8·6%. 2. The enzyme displayed its full activity only in the presence of Hg2+ ions; KA for mercuric chloride was about 6×10−8m. 3. The mercury-activated enzyme progressively removed the terminal galacturonic acid residues from α-(1→4)-linked galacturonide chains and converted digalacturonic acid, trigalacturonic acid, tetragalacturonic acid and pectic acid into galacturonic acid. 相似文献

The mode of action of the endopolygalacturonase from Fusarium moniliforme was studied towards a series of pectins with different amounts and distribution patterns of methyl-ester groups. The enzyme hydrolysed the linkages between two galacturonic acid residues according to a multi-chain attack mechanism, at least at the early stage of the reaction. The final percentage of hydrolysis decreased with increasing the degree of methylation. The distribution pattern of the methyl groups affected the rate of hydrolysis as well as the final percentage of hydrolysis, a blockwise distribution being more favourable than a random one. The final products, as analysed by mass spectrometry, included methyl-esterified oligogalacturonates. The detailed analysis of the structure of the oligomers showed that the enzyme was able to accommodate methylated galacturonic acid in its active site, but that methyl-esterification negatively affected the affinity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Lignocellulose is the major component of plant cell walls and it represents a great source of renewable organic matter. One of lignocellulose constituents is pectin. Pectin is composed of two basic structures: a ‘smooth’ region and a ‘hairy’ region. The ‘smooth’ region (homogalacturonan) is a linear polymer of galacturonic acid residues with α-(1→4) linkages, substituted by methyl and acetyl residues. The ‘hairy’ region is more complex, containing xylogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonans I and II. Among the enzymes which degrade pectin (pectinases) is pectin lyase (E.C. 4.2.2.10). This enzyme acts on highly esterified homogalacturonan, catalysing the cleavage of α-(1→4) glycosidic bonds between methoxylated residues of galacturonic acid by means of β-elimination, with the formation of 4,5-unsaturated products. In this work, the gene and cDNA of a pectin lyase from Penicillium purpurogenum have been sequenced, and the cDNA has been expressed in Pichia pastoris. The gene is 1334 pb long, has three introns and codes for a protein of 376 amino acid residues. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized. Pectin lyase has a molecular mass of 45 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. It is active on highly esterified pectin, and decreases 40 % the viscosity of pectin with a degree of esterification ≥85 %. The enzyme showed no activity on polygalacturonic acid and pectin from citrus fruit 8 % esterified. The optimum pH and temperature for the recombinant enzyme are 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively, and it is stable up to 50 °C when exposed for 3 h. A purified pectin lyase may be useful in biotechnological applications such as the food industry where the liberation of toxic methanol in pectin degradation should be avoided. 相似文献

Two exo-polygalacturonases (EC 3.2.1.67) were purified from a commercial Aspergillus niger enzyme preparation by ammonium sulfate precipitation, preparative electrofocusing, anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatographies. The enzymes had molar masses of 82 kDa (exo-PG1) and 56 kDa (exo-PG2). Exo-PG1 was stable over wider pH and temperature ranges than exo-PG2. Addition of 0.01 mM HgCl(2) increased the exo-PG2 activity 3.4 times but did not affect exo-PG1. Analysis of the reaction products of (reduced) pentagalacturonate by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography revealed that both enzymes split the substrate from the non-reducing end in a multi-chain attack mode. Exo-PG1 had a broad specificity towards oligogalacturonates with different degrees of polymerisation, while digalacturonate was the most favorable substrate for exo-PG2. Both enzymes degraded xylogalacturonan from pea hull in an exo manner to produce galacturonic acid and Xyl-GalA disaccharide, as identified by electrospray ionization-ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-ITMS). Moreover, exo-PGs split acetylated homogalacturonan in an exo manner, producing galacturonic acid and acetylated galacturonic acid, as shown by ESI-ITMS. 相似文献

Background and AimsThe programmed softening occurring during fruit development requires scission of cell wall polysaccharides, especially pectin. Proposed mechanisms include the action of wall enzymes or hydroxyl radicals. Enzyme activities found in fruit extracts include pectate lyase (PL) and endo-polygalacturonase (EPG), which, in vitro, cleave de-esterified homogalacturonan in mid-chain by β-elimination and hydrolysis, respectively. However, the important biological question of whether PL exhibits action in vivo had not been tested.MethodsWe developed a method for specifically and sensitively detecting in-vivo PL products, based on Driselase digestion of cell wall polysaccharides and detection of the characteristic unsaturated product of PL action.Key ResultsIn model in-vitro experiments, pectic homogalacturonan that had been partially cleaved by commercial PL was digested to completion with Driselase, releasing an unsaturated disaccharide (‘ΔUA–GalA’), taken as diagnostic of PL action. ΔUA–GalA was separated from saturated oligogalacturonides (EPG products) by electrophoresis, then subjected to thin-layer chromatography (TLC), resolving ΔUA–GalA from higher homologues. The ΔUA–GalA was confirmed as 4-deoxy-β-l-threo-hex-4-enopyranuronosyl-(1→4)-d-galacturonic acid by NMR spectroscopy. Driselase digestion of cell walls from ripe fruits of date (Phoenix dactylifera), pear (Pyrus communis), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) and apple (Malus pumila) yielded ΔUA–GalA, demonstrating that PL had been acting in vivo in these fruits prior to harvest. Date-derived ΔUA–GalA was verified by negative-mode mass spectrometry, including collision-induced dissociation (CID) fragmentation. The ΔUA–GalA:GalA ratio from ripe dates was roughly 1:20 (mol mol–1), indicating that approx. 5 % of the bonds in endogenous homogalacturonan had been cleaved by in-vivo PL action.ConclusionsThe results provide the first demonstration that PL, previously known from studies of fruit gene expression, proteomic studies and in-vitro enzyme activity, exhibits enzyme action in the walls of soft fruits and may thus be proposed to contribute to fruit softening. 相似文献

The bacteriolytic enzyme with an isoelectric point of 9.5 that is produced by all strains of Staphylococcus aureus investigated was purified from strain M18 (Wadström & Hisatsune, 1970). This enzyme released reducing groups from cell walls of Micrococcus lysodeikticus and was thus shown to be a bacteriolytic hexosaminidase. Although dinitrophenylation and acid hydrolysis of cell walls hydrolysed by a partially purified enzyme gave DNP-alanine and DNP-glycine from staphylococcal peptidoglycan, which indicated the presence of a peptidase and probably also an N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanine amidase, hydrolysis of cell walls by the extensively purified enzyme did not give any DNP-amino acids. The enzyme digest was purified by Amberlite CG-120 and Sephadex G-10 chromatography. Reduction by sodium borohydride of the disaccharide obtained was followed by acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography. Glucosamine completely disappeared after this treatment and a new spot identical with glucosaminitol appeared. The muramic acid spot remained unchanged. The purified enzyme was found to be devoid of exo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. These results are compatible with the action of a bacteriolytic endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase. It is also proposed that this enzyme is probably identical with the staphylococcal lysozyme. The mode of action of this has not previously been investigated. 相似文献

A novel rhamnogalacturonase (RGase) acting on an acetylated substrate was detected in the commercial preparation Driselase,
an enzymatic mixture derived from the basidiomycete Irpex lacteus. The activity was isolated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, gel filtration, and preparative isoelectric focusing,
resulting in the isolation of five different rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases exhibiting various isoelectric points from 6.2
to 7.7. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analyses after trypsin cleavage of
the five fractions revealed that the five rhamnogalacturonases have a molar mass of 55 kDa without any divergences in the
identified peptides. The RGase with a pI of 7.2 exhibited a pH optimum between 4.5 and 5 and a temperature optimum between
40°C and 50°C. Its mode of action was analyzed by mass spectrometry of the oligosaccharides produced after hydrolysis of acetylated
and nonacetylated rhamnogalacturonan. Oligomers esterified by an acetyl group on the reducing galacturonic acid residue or
fully acetylated were detected in the hydrolysate showing that the novel enzyme is able to bind acetylated galacturonic acid
in its active site. 相似文献

An alternative potential feedstock for bioethanol in the automotive sector is citrus peel waste (CPW), which can be processed through enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The present work considers mathematical modeling of orange peel wastes (OPW) hydrolysis with the use of free enzymes and compares the performance of batch, fed-batch and continuous well-mixed reactors after introducing appropriate rate equations in dynamic mass balances. MATLAB® was used for model implementation.Following the Michaelis–Menten approach, the authors used their own kinetic parameters for the pectin hydrolysis rate equation. The parameters were generated in an apposite experimental program for OPW hydrolysis to galacturonic acid with consideration of product inhibition; the corresponding values were obtained after Lineweaver–Burk linearization and are: rmax = 0.28 g/(L min), Km = 19.80 g/L and KIGA = 6.96 g/L, respectively. Vice-versa, the authors adopted the Kadam's group kinetic schemes and parameters for cellulose hydrolysis to cellobiose and glucose. The mathematical model of a well-mixed batch reactor was perfectly validated against the experimental results of OPW hydrolysis to galacturonic acid. In the case of a continuous well-mixed reactor, high dilution rates determine low conversion of OPW. The increased complication of fed-batch operation does not add advantages when compared to batch processing. 相似文献

A solubilized α1,4-galacturonosyltransferase (GalAT) from tobacco transfers galacturonic acid (GalA) residues from UDP-GalA
onto oligogalacturonide (OGA) exogenous acceptors with degrees of polymerization greater than nine (R.L. Doong and D. Mohnen
1998, Plant J 13: 363–374). The solubilized GalAT has been identified as putative polygalacturonate 4-α-galacturonosyltransferase
(PGA-GalAT, EC 2.4.1.43) based on its α1,4-galacturonosyltransferase activity and similar K
m for UDP-GalA, pH optimum and V
max to those of membrane-bound PGA-GalAT (R.L. Doong et al., 1995, Plant Physiol 109: 141–152). The direction of elongation of
homogalacturonan catalyzed by solubilized GalAT from microsomes of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) cell suspensions has now been determined. Three different types of exogenous acceptor were used to study the
direction of synthesis of homogalacturonan: unmodified OGAs, OGAs derivatized by biotinylation at the reducing end, and OGAs
containing a 4,5-unsaturated GalA at the non-reducing end. The unmodified OGAs and the OGAs modified at the reducing end functioned
equally well as acceptors in the galacturonosyltransferase reaction. In contrast, OGAs with the 4,5-unsaturated residue at
the non-reducing end were not acceptors for homogalacturonan biosynthesis. These results show that homogalacturonan biosynthesis
by solubilized GalAT occurs via the addition of GalA to the non-reducing end of the polymer chain.

A pectic fraction, accounting for about 0.3% of the total cell wall polysaccharide, was derived from the hot water extract of an insoluble fraction of the buffer-homogenate of Zea shoots. The pectic polysaccharide fraction was characterized by fragmentation analysis after hydrolysis with acid and Erwinia carotovora pectate lyase. The results suggest that the fraction consists of mostly a linear homopolygalacturonan with neutral sugar components or a homogalacturonan and a rhamnogalacturonan with neutral sugar components. 相似文献

A sucrase from honey bee abdomens was purified to a high state of homogeneity. It was unusual in that it was completely soluble in high concentrations of ammonium sulfate and because curved rather than rectilinear lines were obtained when initial velocity data for at least two substrates were plotted. The action of the enzyme towards a large number of glycosides showed that the enzyme was able to hydrolyze all α-glucosides tested except trehalose and starch. pH Optima of sucrose and p-nitrophenyl-α-d-glucopyranoside differed by 1.0 pH unit. The unusual kinetic patterns which were found seem to be unique to this disaccharidase and were shown to be the result of a combination of hydrolytic and transferolytic activity in which the initial substrate is also a very good acceptor molecule for the transferolytic process. The Km value for hydrolysis was found to be about an order of magnitude lower than for other insect sucrases with the more usual type of kinetic action. Amino acid and amino sugar analyses showed that the sucrase was a glycoprotein which contained glucosamine and either mannosamine or galactosamine. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 70,000 or higher and there was no evidence that the enzyme had subunit structure. An s020,w value of 5.3S was determined. The enzyme was quite stable to a series of denaturing conditions and sulfhydryl reacting agents had little effect on the activity. 相似文献

Cell walls of suspension-cultured cells of Rosa glauca were fractionated by two different extraction procedures. The first involved a stepwise fractionation scheme based on alkaline extraction. The second took advantage of the powerful cellulose solvent system N-methylmorpholine N-oxide/dimethyl sulfoxide which is capable of solubilizing whole cell walls. From the analytical composition of each solubilized fraction and of the corresponding residues, the fate of each type of cell wall polysaccharide constituent was followed at each step of the extraction scheme and the mode of action of the extractant was interpreted. Although the two fractionation procedures were very different, they yielded very similar cellulosic complex residues and extracts, thus delimiting two blocks of polysaccharides in the cell wall. The cellulose residues still comprised uronic acid-containing polysaccharides and hemicelluloses in association with cellulose. Graded acid hydrolysis provided evidence for the central role of a homogalacturonan core interconnecting xyloglucans and arabinogalactans. A tentative model showing the possible interaction existing between the constituent polysaccharides still associated to cellulose after alkaline extraction is presented. Hydrogen bonding between xyloglucan and cellulose is confirmed, and glycosidic linkages between xyloglucans and pectic polymers are suggested. 相似文献

A bacterium identified as Pseudomonas sp. was found to be a better source of oligogalacturonide transeliminase (OGTE) than Erwinia aroideae.The OGTE of Pseudomonas sp. differed from that of Erwinia aroideae in the following respects: (1) The activity was maximal with tetramer and followed by trimer, dimer and polymers. (2) The OGTE of Pseudomonas sp. degraded the saturated uronides as rapidly as, or a little more rapidly than, the corresponding unsaturated uronides. (3) Calcium ion stimulated considerably the OGTE activity.Both oxidized and reduced acid-soluble pectic acids were resistant to the action of the OGTE.With the purified enzyme preparation, 4-deoxy-5-keto-d-glucuronic acid was the end product of the OGTE action on oligo- and polygalacturonides. 4,5-Unsaturated galacturonic acid is probably the intermediate in the formation of 4-deoxy-5-keto-d-glucuronic acid. 相似文献

The pectinolytic enzyme obtained from Penicillium viridicatum RFC by solid-state fermentation was purified to homogeneity by pretreatment with kaolin (40 mg mL−1) and ultrafiltration, followed by chromatography on a Sephadex G50 column. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme was 24 kDa. Maximal activity occurred at pH 6.0 and at 60 °C. The enzyme proved to be an exo-polygalacturonase, releasing galacturonic acid by hydrolysis of highly esterified pectin. The presence of 10 mM Ba2+ increased the enzyme activity by 96% and its thermal stability by 30%, besides increasing its stability at acid pH. The apparent Km with apple pectin as substrate was 1.82 mg mL−1 and the Vmax was 81 μmol min−1 mg−1. 相似文献
